I'm pretty sure that I used to be able to view the coded contents of web pages in the past. I just tried to do this with a web page and my "View Source" selection item under the "View" menu is gone.

Am I mistaken that Firefox used to have this feature? I have used Firefox, exclusively, for about the last 3 to 4 years, now; haven't used IE in quite a while.

Maybe with my latest FF upgrade, that feature was deleted in the upgrade.

Recently I googled for a foreign language translation. That worked well. In the process I also ended up at Answer.com which now shows up as an option for a search engine. That does not bother me. But search.babylon.com also showed up as a search engine and as the default web page. (Babylon also has a translation service.) I removed a babylon program from the computer (now search.babylon.com no longer appears as a search engine), reset my old home page, but when opening a second tab on Firefox, I get

"http://search.babylon.com/?babsrc=NT_bb" as the page. How can I get rid of it?

for the search engine, is there way to change the default search engine instead of changing it each time i open firefox. (ie: mine is currently yahoo and i want to use google)?

Each time I open a new tab to do a new search it defaults to AVG. I want Google to be my default search tab. I have tried 'about:config' and disabled AVG Safe Search, also 'Tools/Add Ons' etc.

Grrr ....

I'm sure there is some place to click to find what in a previous version was under "Tools", but where is it. Frustration.

The Firefox upgrade to 6.0 did notice that FireFTP needed upgrading, and I've done that.

I cannot believe that Firefox toots its horn as being security minded when the status bar has been completely removed. Expecting the user to click on screen links with NO IDEA what the actual link is - is foolhardy to say the least. Relying on a third party plugin to take this function over? Forget that! There's no information to say that the developers have corrected this yet so I can't tell if Firefox 6 is safe to download or if I'm wasting my time. Can you shed some light on this? Thanks

I have been using Speedbit Video Downloader Toolbar with Firefox 7 for downloading web video. When i upgraded to Firefox 8 the Toolbar was no longer compatable, so i went back to Firefox 7 and all was ok again. Is there a fix for this. I am including the url.

I'm using Firefox 13 beta. The new-tab page is an awesome feature, but it does not work well.

When i'm visiting sites it does not changes. It still like this: http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/2474/56130e74e4b842268628eba.png

If I restart Firefox, the new-tab page will have some sites, but with no thumbnails, like this: http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/8289/74eadf18095b43a39696159.png

Sorry for my bad English.

Before moving to Firefox 8, I could drag and drop tabs within the tab bar to reorder them, which was very convenient. Since installing the first beta of Firefox 8, the tabs don't move. Should I revert to an earlier version of Firefox? If so, which one? Thank you for any help with may favorite browser. Tom

I noticed Firefox 8 is coming out in about a week, so I wanted to try out one of the betas. I heard publicity a while back about the fact that Firefox 8 will be the first 64-bit (Windows) release. However, there are no 64-bit installers in any of the beta releases, or the Aurora releases. The most recent 64-bit build I can find is http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2011/08/2011-08-15-03-07-38-mozilla-central/. Has 64-bit support slipped? I notice there aren't even any 64-bit releases of Firefox 9 in Aurora.

A few months ago, the Mozilla Firefox Start Page suddenly started using Aol search instead of Google when I used the search bar. I can't remember whether I did anything to AIM or something when it happened, but on the navigation bar, my search engine is still Google... I really want to use Google instead of Aol search, and I don't want to change my home page?

After my beta install upgraded from 12 to 13 yesterday, the new tab page was working as advertised. When I started my computer today, however, the new tab page appeared blank, just as it did in older versions of Firefox. What happened? Any idea how to fix it?

I would like to remove the thumbnail view when opening a new tab. I use Firefox on my home and work computers. Unfortunately, when using my work computer, the thumbnail view from websites I access from my home computer comes up. I would like to remove or disable this feature on my work computer. How do I accomplish this?

Installed version Firefox 13. New Tab button, file New Tab or Ctrl-T results in message:
