EDIT: I have solved this problem on my end. It turns out that my mouse manufacturer had a 'helper' program that was screwing up the horizontal-tilt support. Quitting it solved the problem. To others having the same problem, I suggest checking your own mouse's helper utilities.

I am given to understand that previous versions of Firefox supported horizontal scrolling when used with a scrollwheel mouse that supported tilt messages. However, I've been unable to get it to work on Firefox 20.0.1. I've tried disabling smooth scrolling, hardware acceleration, restarting in safe mode, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

(The troubleshooting information below represents the usual configuration of my browser, without disabling any extensions.)

On the other hand, other applications seem to handle mousewheel tilts just fine; I've tried it with applications as simple as Notepad on Windows and they scroll horizontally in response to mousewheel tilts. I'm stumped; did Mozilla remove tilt support in later versions of Firefox?

Apologies if this is a stupid question. It seems to be the case that websites designed for mobiles (e.g. http://m.guardian.co.uk/), have a default text size setting which ignores the equivalent setting in Firefox Android. Consequently, in some websites like the one mentioned above, the text is unnecessarily large, making the reading process rather labour intensive. I know I could revert to the desktop site, but I'm more likely to revert back to the default android browser (which has no problem adjusting the text on these sites), which would be shame, as apart from this problem, I am loving the Firefox experience.

I am on Samsung Galaxy S2, Android 4.0.4.

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

The text formatting toolbar in Yahoo mail has disappeared in Firefox19&20 on OS. Also hyperlinks are not working. All seems to be OK on Windows Firefox as well as in Safari!! I am running Windows7 on Parallels on the same Mac so this is really confusing. Getting tired of going to Safari for e-mail writing. Wife has same set-up and all is well !! I have tried safe mode and have tried resetting .

I have even updated to 20 and the problem persists!  HELP!!

I upgraded to Mountain Lion (10.8.3). Firefox 20 now floods my system log with CGContextSaveGState and CGContextTranslateCTM errors. And when I say floods, I mean floods! I'm getting three messages every second. It does not matter what website I got to. I can open even a local file and it does this.

The performance of FF and my overall system is somewhat degraded. However, I cannot use FF as long as it floods my logs.

The browser (Firefox Browser for Android 20.0.1) itself is great, but I have one problem. When I download a file (and I do this rather often) after closing browser and opening it again, Firefox starts to re-download the same file. It wouldn't be a problem if the file which has been already downloaded earlier wasn't being overwritten. But it often happens that instead of the full file, ie 460mb, I discover that my file is incomplete, of a size of several kbs. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

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.

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.

Print-outs using Firefox done on my Brother printer model MFC-J825DW come out with text missing and with margins way off and with articles beginning at the bottom of the page. When try printing out the same article with other web browsers, there are no lay-out problems, but the printer prints much lighter. How can I change the settings on Firefox so that these issues go away?
