I have a single page webapp with an inactivity timer that calls window.location.replace when there is no activity for a period of time. If this happens while Windows is locked, the new url is called (it hits the server), the address bar is updated correctly but the page that is displayed is still the old one.

The app is built in GWT 2.5.1

I've tried window.location.assign as well.

In the last few weeks, a lot of my Firefox windows hang for long periods of time - a minute or more. Today it got much worse, where it would hang for ever (defined as many minutes until I got tired of waiting and killed it).

After trying many things - It appears to be Javascript related. If I disable javascript - all the sites I go to first complain that javascript is not enabled butthen offer me a javascript free version. I have no hangs with java script disabled. a few sites just won't work with out it - but still no hang. As soon as I re-enable javascript - all my windows hang. I have tried only having a couple tabs open but still they hang. This happens with google mail and Yahoo mail as my base two. But if I open several other windows instead, they hang as well.

I tried downgrading to Firefox 17 - no help there.

I tried updating flash, I tried downgrading flash. No difference.

I have run out of ideas on what to do here.

The subject box in me email does not open to allow me to put in a subject...when I send the email the subject is 3 lines long that I did not enter.

Thank You in advance for help. Best regards

When I close out of Firefox 17 it always restores my previous session when I open the browser back up, no matter how many tabs I had open before I close. It does not take me to my homepage setting, just reloads the previous session before close. All the time. How do I fix this issue?

i'm using Tor Browser. It updates quite regularly. i decide to learn how to export/import settings. i read TOS on Sync and CANNOT believe what i read. You can send my data OUT OF COUNTRY??? Please explain why i even started using Tor if not for privacy/security. The whole concept of the Sync operation appears to be a grand design to have my personal information on a platter??? Why do i need to have my data off my computer in order to put it back on there??? On the face of it -this is outrageous.... perhaps i do not understand fully. Please explain how i can EASILY accept Tor Browser updates without my data - in ANY form - being anywhere else...

I seem to have been infected with a virus called PUP.TidyNetworks, which coincided with Malwarebytes insistance that I buy their overpriced payware. No-one seems to have any experience with TidyNetworks, and a search for it on Malwarebytes comes up empty-handed, which makes me very suspicious, since their software identified it. Now my email doesn't load messages properly on FireFox, though it works fine on Chrome.

What's up? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

When FF17 came out, I upgraded and then could not teach my online classes until FF17.0.1 came out with the fix. I need to avoid this problem, so am asking about ANGEL operation with FF v. 18 Thanks

So they used to work, when i went to change my persona it'd preview it on my window when i hovered over it, I recently updated firefox and now it wont preview the personas when i hover over them. I made sure cookies are allowed but even when i click on "wear this" it asks permission with an 'allow' button. How do i fix this, i cant find it.

New machine, set up Firefox - only I'm now unable to have the tabs where I want.

What is the matter with you people? The simple option of having tabs BELOW the navigation toolbar is taken away. We’re told of the ‘benefits’ of having tabs on top. But like crass Windows developers, those at Mozilla take one step forward then two steps back, and don't give the user a choice. The whole point of using Firefox is the ability to customise – I suggest you don’t lose sight of this fact!

I’ve read this piece: http://www.ghacks.net/2012/07/26/mozilla-tabs-on-bottom-feature-needs-to-go/

Quote: "You may wonder why Mozilla is making the change. According to Frank Yan, it is because of ‘maintenance costs and usability concerns in relation to current and future UI'"

Maintenance costs? Pfff!

Whether its YouTube or Hulu, the screen just stay black. I have tried most of the solutions on the Firefox help website. I want to erase Firefox and all of its supporting programs, and start fresh. Can you give me a list? RealTime, Flash, etc. Thanks a lot.

services.sync.scheduler.activeInterval
services.sync.scheduler.idleInterval
services.sync.scheduler.idleTime
services.sync.scheduler.immediateInterval
services.sync.scheduler.singleDeviceInterval

services.sync.syncInterval

Can we get some description on which each parameter does? services.sync.syncInterval seems to use milliseconds versus seconds like the rest of them can some one confirm this?

Babylon search downloaded with Firefox Download. I have removed the toolbar and altered the search and set Google as my browser but Babylon search comes up first each time I open my browser. I have reset all defaults but Babylon still comes up. I have run Malware and Super anti-spyware programs. Nothing shows.

The Babylon "program" is hiding somewhere. I also get underlines in my browser and links that I do not want. Ideas please.

I used to get a field of 9 options to open when I opened a new page by clicking on the + button on the right side of the Search tab. After I updated Firefox a couple of days ago, my homepage had been taken over by something called "Fantasti Games". I can't find it anywhere to uninstall "Fantisti Games". I now have Google come up as my homepage when I open Mozilla Firefox, but each tab that I open comes up with the "FantastiGames" search engine. I need to get rid of that from my computer and revert back to what I had before, which was when I opened a new tab, I got nine large icons on the screen that gave me the choice of common sites to go to (such as AOL, YouTube, Weather.com, Google, etc.). Please tell me how to uninstall "FantastiGames".

The genealogy site https://familysearch.org/search is stuck in firefox, even in safe mode.

This applies to linux as well as to windows 7, 64bit, enterprise (FF20.0.1).

The page opens and the blue search bottom is stuck with "Loading". Normally it shows "Search"

The site is working well with IE9.

I recently put firefox (17.0.5) in full screen for a while on my Linux Laptop running CentOS6 (up to date on 3/5/2013) I never managed to exit this full screen mode, neither with the contextual menu in the tab bar (appeared when I went to the top of the screen), nor with F11. Even when I close and restart Firefox, or when I shut off and restart the laptop, I get back to this fullscreen mode each time I open firefox. Only the failsafe mode (run with the command firefox -safe-mode) is not in full screen, and that was for me the only way to disable all my addons (as recommanded by some similar threads on the support forum). I have no access to any menu, but thanks to the about:plugins special address, I could control that my plugins are off, and e for with about:support I got an overview of my installation, that seem OK. There is also about:config to edit my preferences, but I don't find the one which could be responsible for this behavior. Any ideas?

Google Search does not work with Java script enabled. This happened after the recent update to Firefox 17 .0.1.I have to constantly enable/disable java script when using the internet.
