Automate login process of our specific sites in firefox :

 There are two modes available in firefox : 
(1) simple(General) Mode : In this mode firefox will open as normal.
(2) Automate mode : which is password protected and verify password online/offline 
                             - In this mode we can set our specific sites URL with username and password and firefox 
                               will automatically login to desired site which we select from the list.
                             - This functionality will help a lot to developer as well as frequently users on different
                               applications. 
                             - These can be done same as web Test automation (for ex. Selenium webdriver api).

Thanks, Rajni Ghodasara.

We are using a software application that has Firefox as the default browser. We are using scanners and the Firefox settings have to be changed every time we scan a document. How do you manage the settings or change the default settings in Firefox, they are taking precedent over the scanner default settings.

Please advise me as to what can be done to get back my audio/sounds on my computer. I have no sound at all. I have checked all connections of the sound speakers. They are all okay and connected. Please help me get back this audio/sound on my computer. This all happened this afternoon, 02/22/2013/ I would appreciate some kind of notice via e-mail, as I was required to give it, before I went on this question site. Thank you for your consideration and assistance in getting back my audio/sound on my computer. I have also, closed the computer down and booted it up after a short time off. I was on the computer in a normal way, as I have always done. Then all of a sudden there was no audio or sound on the computer. Thank you very much for your assistance in this matter. I remain, Robert J Kamuca

when the android phone is turned off, and then back on again, any desk top icon or bookmark of an web page with a manifest will not work when in airplane mode. You must at least make an attempt to turn on wifi, even an unsuccessful attempt to find a wifi connection will do. Then when you use the book mark or the desktop icon, it will work. I have a series of phones which only have internect connection - no phone company tower connection SAMSUNG-SGH-1997 firmware version 2.2.1 kernel verions 2.6.32.9 FROYO.UCKH1. Contact wih android support only got suggestion to use the google chrome browser, which incidentally does not work on 2.2.1

Was experiencing numerous crashes on existing Firefox (v-18.0). Upgraded to 19.0 and still had same issues. Next performed a clean install altogether to v-19.0. So far that problem seems to have been resolved...however...

Issues now being experienced:

1. - Lost all ability to simply use the click and drag method to insert a 'live' url link and embed it into an email transmission (AOL webmail). When copying and pasting url, only link text is made available and I cannot modify hyperlink to make it behave like an actual link.

I've discovered that the only way I can even hope to retrieve a live link now is to use the "Email Link" add-on and allow it to launch in MS Outlook Express (default -- no option available for AOL), then copy and paste it from that venue into my composed AOL email. Only way to embed as a hyperlink. Once done I have to delete the created MS Outlook Express page, then can send my email transmission via AOL as I've done before. CRAZY!

2. - Also, when clicking and dragging a shortcut for an actual webpage to my desktop for a later quick launch, the shortcut icon is not recognizing it as a Firefox webpage. Rather a generic icon is presented -- and I have to manually go in to firefox.exe to retrieve icon graphic and reset it to that shortcut (if I decide to). And that's for each individual shortcut created...you have to do this separately for all you may have created on your desktop. The shortcut does work as it should, regardless, but I have never had to do this before and there is no "properties" option available to make an overall default change. Yet another CRAZY!

What happened while I wasn't looking?

I am running XP SP3...and have NEVER had these issues until now -- this is ALL new!

Anyone else have any experience with this...or solutions/work-arounds you've discovered?

Thank you!

When I click on a magnet link, the Launch Application dialog/window appears, but when I click OK, it's as if its not there at all, as if I clicked outside the dialog so it goes in the background, requiring me to switch to that dialog again and only then does it respond to the click (OK or Cancel, whichever). This is on Firefox 19/Windows 7 x64, didnt use to happen before.

On an intranet site I want to prevent that Referrer information arrives at external https sites. Before log-in the site should check if this setting is set to false. If not it should give a warning, deny access and give instructions how to change the setting.

I use separate Firefox Profiles for different purposes, each with it's own set of bookmarks. On XMarks, it is relatively simple to have different profiles, but can the same thing be done in Firefox sync? One account, multiple profiles.

Since Firefox 18 i think when direct link to video or audio file in supported format is clicked the browser generates html5 page with video/audio tag and tries to play it instead of opening it as configured. Unfortunately the build in player lacks both in features and formats support when compared to some plugins and is not suitable as drop-in replacement for them. Is there a way to disable the new behavior and open links normally?

I know that disabling formats in about:config (media.format.enabled) solves the problem, but it also breaks pages, that intentionally use audio/video tags.

On Firefox 19 or 20beta when using firefox with multiple monitors in OSX 10.8.3 upon closing Firefox opens in the main monitor regardless of the previous monitor selected.

I've tried switching from 19 to 20beta and back, clearing the .rdf file referenced in other threads, turning off hardware acceleration, completely uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, and anything else I could think of to no avail.

I am sharing a 3D application for family trees that require shared users to install one of the mentioned plug ins. I will be sharing on a website. I expect most invitees will be using Windows but also would like Mac users to have access. The developing company has not been extremely helpful in answering my question.

This will mean I will remove firefox from my pc. other people also have the same problem.I need to have more control and let me override the standards and go to the webpage if I deem it acceptable.

I have downloaded latest versions of Flash Player, Firefox and have a new Toshiba computer. Games on king.com play okay on Google Chrome, but not on Firefox with frequent "freezing", crashing and overplay.

Hi,

I'm trying to use a music player on my website with an auto-resume function that makes it play continuously while browsing the site.

I found xspf player and it works great on most browsers and also this website with a completely different music player http://www.vintagesworld.be/scriptbaseVoorbeelden/sound/test.php works great. Click on "test linkje" to go to another page with the music continuing.

But somehow on Firefox (and safari) on the mac is doesn't work.The music plays but starts all over from the start when browsing.

In windows, no problem at all. On chrome on the mac no problem also.

But Firefox doesn't seem to handle the shared object right.

On a suggestion by someone else I did try a different flash movie with shared objects, but without the music function on the same page. And that did work fine. I did get a message that asked me if I wanted to save information (the shared object) to my computer. And here is the strange thing, after that also the music player worked great.

But when I delete my browser history and also the cookies, I'm back to the old problem.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Every time I open Firefox it verifies that addons are compatible with version 19.0. Earlier versions of FF did this only on the first time after updating.

FF also opens two tabs, one to Mozilla telling me that there is an Android version for portable telephones, the other to my starting site Googles.

If this behaviour has been done on purpose it's regrettable because it will force me to change to an ather browser.

Yours faithfully C A Andersson

Ladies and Gents,

We are running 32 bit Windows 7 Enterprise. I have a user that is trying to access a database through Mozilla Firefox. When he is prompted to enter his smart card/PIN he recieves the error:

"The page you are attempting to access requires your browser to have a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) client certificate that the Web server recognizes"

I have checked to make sure that SSL 3.0 is enabled and that the smart card is loaded under security devices.

I have tried exporting his certificated from IE9 (Which works fine with the database) and importing them into Firefox, no success.

The reason the user is trying to access through Firefox is for a more friendly user interface that the site only provides to Firefox.
