The built in PDF viewer (pdfjs) is a nice tool, but I'd like to set preferences for it so that:

1) `Page Width' is the default view 2) The sidebar is turned on by default 3) The sidebar shows `Document outline', not `Thumbnails'

Anybody knows whether and how this can be done?

TIA,

Guivho.

Whilst using FF20.0.1 and now with FF21 the new tab thumbnails fail to open for each new session. Why?

For a long time my chosen websites appeared as thumbnail images on the new tab page when I began a new session, maybe since about FF15, I don't recall for sure. Recently, however, whilst using FF20.0.1 this behaviour stopped and none of the thumbnail images for my selected websites opened up, although the links to them remained and this behaviour has continued to FF21, which I have been using since yesterday (19th May). This is not a serious issue, but I do like things to work properly and to understand why they don't. I don't know why there should be a relationship between the two events, but the problem began after having opened the new tab page and before the images opened up I clicked on one of the links - where the thumbnail image would normally be - to go to the website; thereafter FF failed to retain a memory of the thumbnail images from one session to the next. By the way, I never empty my history cache only my main web cache that has previously had no effect on my new tab thumbnails, not since about FF15 or so anyway.

Since today, Firefox starts automatically as a silent process consuming 30% of my cpu time and some 7 MB of memory usage. This happens on startup or while no visible Firefox is running. Killing the process causes the Firefox to restart, again silently, within a few seconds.

Opening a Firefox window for web browsing causes another Firefox process to start (parallel to the other one).

A file system search (search companion) for firefox.exe gives the following result: firefox.exe.hdmp firefox.exe.mdmp firefox.exe.hdmp firefox.exe.mdmp firefox.exe.hdmp firefox.exe.mdmp firefox.exe.hdmp firefox.exe.mdmp firefox.exe.hdmp firefox.exe.mdmp FIREFOX.EXE-28641590.pf firefox.exe

I recently installed a program GrooveDown v0.89 (just in case that would be useful information)

Every time when I start Firefox (FF) I receive a message about opening an application/octet-stream. Asking whether I want to open it or save it. If I don't respond (which is what I do) a few moment later I receive a message about not being able te save a file. If I respond to this with [OK] both messages disapear and I can go on using FF. Screendumps of these messages can be seen here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2395780/ifr.jpg

These messages don't limit FF. Or make it impossible to work with FF. They are just annoying. How can I prevent these messages from still appearing?

Thank you so much for your assistance Kind regards....
