While trying to search something on google, Firefox tries to download my search as if i clicked on a download link to a program.

Although this does not happens all the time, it is frequent enough to become frustrated.

I have a screen shot if this if it is needed.

I'm using Windows 20, and recently install Freemake Video Downloader. I remember that I had not checked the "Make Freemake my default search provider" when installing the product. But still, Firefox use it as the default search engine. I've did some research, which tell me to go to the search box, choose the drop-down arrow, and click "Manage Search Engines". The thing is, the Freemake search engine was not there. So I just delete every search engine except only one I like, and resart the browser. Surprisingly, it has change to the homepage and search engine I want, except for one thing. If you type in the address bar, it STILL use Freemake search engine. So I have search in Control Panel > Uninstall a problem (which I didn't found anything I don't install myself). I want to keep the program, but is there a way to reset this? I can do this in Chrome and Opera, why not Firefox?

Thank you.

I have noticed the SSL padlock sometimes does not appear on pages which are secure. However, whenever I refresh the page it appears. I have checked all other browsers and they work perfectly. Why would this be happening?

How to find out the amount of data that's flowed through FF on each site visited? Also, how to find out how many bytes particular extensions are sending/receiving?

I need to work out what [if anything] is draining my bandwidth, because it's causing me problems with supposedly exceeding bandwidth limits on a privacy-related extension.

My Firefox crashes when trying to open 75% of web pages. I get the windows standard "Firefox is not responding" window after it freezes while trying to load the page.

I have singled out the problem to be the Shockwave Flash (11.5.502.149) plugin as everything works correctly with this disabled.

I have tried updated flash, uninstalling and re-installing it and the same with FF but nothing seems to work so far.

I wonder if anyone knows the way to roll back from an update in Firefox? I do not wish to remove and re-install if it's possible just to roll back. I am using Windows 7 Pro and the "about Firefox" says I have 19.0 installed. The update causing the problem went in on 19/03/2013. Hope someone can help. Regards. G

When Firefox is Minimized, Flash Player Content does not. It shows it perfectly with other opened (not minimized) applications in the exact location where it was (the flash content) before. The other application seems to need an RGB colour map of exactly #000000 for it to show.

It cannot be captured in a screenshot using screengrab, nor can it be shown in playback from recordmydesktop.

seems to be some adware/malware that captures where I go on the net. it slows down page loading significantly. Every time I click a link or renew a page it shows in the lower left hand corner ("connecting i.simpli.fi").

How can I get rid of it?

I am running firefox 21.0.

Thanks. Jim

The error messages for sync aren't useful. I don't know what the problem, other then "it gives an error."

It has "success" and "error" together. Is it saying that success failed? The log is in yoda-speak.

What is the error here:

1368837689324	Sync.Status	DEBUG	Status.service: success.status_ok => success.status_ok
1368837690314	Sync.Tracker.Addons	DEBUG	Saving changed IDs to addons

Does tatus.sync: success.sync => error.login.reason.network and the surrounding messages indicate that sync sucess failed? What do the other messages mean? All I see is that will try again.

Hi,

This problem has been going on for a while, I thought it might have been the version of FF but it is still not solved. So my problem, my spell check does underline, no problem. But when I would like to correct the word and do a right click with my mouse the whole text field box freezes until I right click again with my mouse.

Also no suggestions do appear.

Any tips?

Cheers!

I've been using firefox for a really really long time, and I play quite a lot of facebook games. Yesterday morning, things were working perfectly fine, but later in the day, I suddenly started getting these shockwave errors. I can't recall downloading anything and I must have uninstalled and reinstalled the flash player at least 8 times. It's honestly starting to frustrate me. I love firefox, but if the browser refuses to work, I probably won't be using it for much longer.

My bookmarks sidebar keeps on disappearing. I'll use ctrl-B to bring it back and it will be fine for a while when I close and re-open firefox but, after probably 3 or 4 times running firefox, it will be gone again and I have to use ctrl-B to bring it back. This just keeps happening over and over again every few times that I start firefox. I've tried running without any extensions or addons and the problem is still there.

The Logitech mouse is a Logitech Anywhere MX Dark Field with Logitech Control Center for Mac OS X v3.6.0. I'm using Firefox 20 in Mac OSX 10.6.8. The problem has only been detecting after updating the browser to version 20. I have not customized the Back key on the mouse for any other function other than returning to previous page. Same configuration and Control Center version was being used before with Firefox previous versions without any issues.

I have received the "Firefox has prevented this page from redirecting to another page." message and have clicked on ALLOW. I now understand that was a mistake and I want future attempts by this page to redirect to be BLOCKED. I have tried removing all cookies but that doesn't do it. Any suggestions?

Thanks
