I have the same problem as https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/881844 but with fx 21.
Firefox 21 on Ubuntu 13.04 stops loading pages after a while, ranging from less than an hour to a day, of regular browsing. It gets stuck on "looked up whatever.com" or "connecting to..." message. Restarting the browser makes it work for another period.
Changing network.http.max-connections did not help, clearing various history items (cookies, cache, ..., or everything except saved passwords) did not help.
I now disabled ipv6 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can?#w_ipv6 and prefetching but the fact that the problem occurs after several hours makes it hard to test.
Citrix Plug-In 12.1.0.30 Disappears without warning on update to Firefox 21. Why was there no warning?

The "warn me if this will disable any of my add-ons" check box is checked.
Had to revert to 20.0.1 for the plug in to reappear.
I cannot get the Citrix 12.1.0.30 plug-in to show up in Firefox 21. Reverting back to version 20.0.1 and turning off auto-updates is the only workaround for the plug-in issue I could find. Updating to a newer Citrix plug-in not an option as the new Citrix Receivers have too many bugs and do not work well (Citrix has been contacted but they are very slow at fixing bugs).

I'm using Firefox 20.0 on Fedora 17 (Xfce) fully updated. At random intervals Firefox will either set the language to some random version of English (Zambia, much of the time) until I notice and set it back or it will simply uncheck US English without selecting anything else. It also turns the spelling checker off once in a while. It's hard to say just what, if anything, triggers this because I only close Firefox for updates, and only reboot for kernel updates. Most of the time, my computer runs 24/7 and Firefox stays open sometimes, for over a month without any other issues. I found two old, closed threads on this, but neither of them had anything applicable.

Recently, I've screwed up while deleting some search engines from the search bar, and ended up deleting Wikipedia's entry.
I've searched the web for a way to add Wikipedia to the search bar, but I failed to find any useful information.
Is there any way to add wikipedia to the search bar, or even reset the search bar options with the default set?

I am trying to update firefox and thunderbird and seamonkey on my IBM AIX 5.3/7.1 systems.
Trying to find the latest version that works on my system.
Environment:

Anyone know where I can find a newer executable binary? Or the latest source with the instruction on how to build firefox on my system using gcc 4.7.2?

I have a new install of fedora18 and I was trying to recover my firefox settings from a backup. The backup doesn't maintain file ownership so I ran 'chown -R john:john /home/john'. Now I can't start firefox, probably because of a file permission issue but if I remove the firefox dir and try to start firefox again it will create a new firefox dir and put a Crash Reports dir in it and then fail with an access denied error. So where is the premissions issue???
Thanks for you time John

Does "status.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.

I'm using Firefox 20.0 on Linux Ubuntu. When I'm opening and using Firefox, the active tab background is light gray, and the other tabs are black (with white/gray text). But as soon as I have downloaded a file (saving an image for example, or a pdf), the tabs change color: the non active tabs turn gray instead of black, and the tab text is almost unreadable (gray on gray).
I have disabled ALL extensions (including the Ubuntu/Unity extensions) and restarted Firefox, and get the same result. See screenshot with before/after downloading: http://imagesup.net/?di=113687926169
On the other hand, when I start Firefox in safe mode, all is well, the tabs don't change color when downloading or saving a file.
What to do? Could this be a bug ?
