Firefox suddenly has become very slow. It takes too much time to load all websites and even the typed words and scrolling has a great delay in appearing. It becomes unresponsive very often. I tried reinstalling it and even reset it. Its becoming a pain to use this to surf the net. Please do help!!

According to this: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/pop-blocker-settings-exceptions-troubleshooting#w_is-the-pop-up-shown-after-a-mouse-click-or-a-key-press Firefox doesn't block pop-ups after mouse click. Is there a way to enable this, so i don't have to use a plugin for firefox?

It usess css to define layers and javascript to show and hide the layers. It uses a dhtml menu system by Milonic to execute the javascript

This is part of the code for the layers:

<style type="text/css">
#Layer01 {position: absolute; left: 300px; top: 50px; z-index:1;}
...........
#Layer33 {position: absolute; left: 300px; top: 50px; z-index:33;}
</style>

This is part of the javascript to show/hide the layers:

<script>
function showlayer(layer){
var myLayer = document.getElementById(layer).style.display;
if(myLayer=="none"){
document.getElementById(layer).style.display="block";
} else {
document.getElementById(layer).style.display="none";
}
}
</script>

It works OK in IE but not firefox

Whenever i open firefox the default search engine in the little search bar is always Yahoo, and nothing i do changes it back to google permanently. Even when i type something in the address bar it uses yahoo. Ive tried everything including going in to about:config and changing a bunch of stuff like putting in the google string but nothing works...

Upon upgrading from FF 16 to 17, I can still drag the icon that's to the left of the url to the desktop (or even to the XP Quick Launch Bar, Folder Shortcuts, etc.) to create an internet shortcut to the current page. However, with 17 this method produces a shortcut that shows a generic Windows icon instead of a Firefox-page icon. Even though a generic Windows icon normally denotes "no program associated," these still open with FF when double-clicked. But it doesn't look right. (BTW, all the shortcuts created by this method in FF 16 or lower retained the FF-page icon with the upgrade to 17.)

Any ideas why this changed and how to fix it so it looks the same as before?

Pending resolution of this (and another issue) I went back to FF 16, and it works normally again. However, the shortcuts that were created while I had 17 still show the generic Windows icon.

fixed in Firefox 21 - locking this old thread

Well the question basically says it all. Starting a couple of weeks ago, i have not been able to command click links to open in new tabs (I am on a mac, OS X 10.6.8). This includes links to google books as well as library links. This only happens on google scholar. It also happens in 'safe mode'. I have contacted google support who have stated that this is a browser issue. They have not changed the coding of the scholar site. This is very frustrating. I have used FF for years and am now going to have switch to Safari, whose own command click function continues to work in google scholar. Any thoughts/ suggestions?

Receive "Server not found" message inconsistently on various sites. Sometimes "retry" command is successful; frequently not successful. The "Server not found" message even occurs with Mozilla website links on this help location. Have cleared cookies & cash, restart in safe mode (disable add-ons). No success in eliminating the problem.

Why does the popup in the upper right corner appear even when popup blocker is activated and a lot of popup-blocker add-ons are installed. The pop up changes by the openening of a new page, and contains e.g. "Google Analytics" and/or "Google Adsense", and/or AT Internet" etc. etc. It disappears after a few seconds. How can I get rit of this most annoying popup?

I'm looking for non-social Firefox edition or version. I want to follow the latest FF updates, but without any integrated services like social spyware and any other kind of malware. Options disable / enable are not sufficient to be safe and security in Firefox is corrupted by social API.

Social services and features must be implemented only as a simple optional extensions and nothing more.

Every time I go to a page a popup appears in the lower left hand corner and one randomly appears in the right side. The right side is ad choices. How cam I delete these? I have Mozilla Foxfire and windows xp

I allowed installation of the Shop-At-Home toolbar to download and print coupons. I want to remove this. I am unable to find the name of this toolbar in the list of installed programs or in the list of plug-ins.
