When I install the latest version of Flash Player(11.6.602.171), I get a firefox plugin. Why am I not receiving the Flash Player instead? OS is vista home premium, firefox v.18

In previous versions of FF I was able to highlight a word or words and then right click, the context menu had a "Search the internet using these words" option. Which made searching so much easier. How do I get that back and get rid of that monster right click menu?

TIA

Win 7 pro 64 bit using Google

I have Firefox 18. I have the latest Adobe Flash installed (after doing a full uninstall and reinstall). I have cleared the cache, cookies, etc.

No matter what I try, YouTube videos will not play in Firefox. I always get the same message:

"An error occurred. Please try again later."

If I copy the exact same link into Explorer (which I normally detest using) it plays perfectly. So clearly the fault lies with Firefox.

What can be done to fix this bug?

If I type a search in the address bar, I am automatically transferred to google. Can this be changed or am I stuck with google? I know I can select one in the upper right. Thank you.

My mobile's android version is 4.1.2. At the present time, I cannot watch and download any youtube videos. If flash player doesn't support any mobile using android version over 4.0 , how can I watch and download these flash videos?

I just got the new Google Nexus 4 and have been running Firefox mobile as my primary browser but I have recently discovered a problem. When I download a file (such as a PDF) off of a site to read with Android's quickoffice, no file goes into Android's downloads app. I assumed the file was only bring temporarily bring downloaded for a one time view but when I tried this same process with Chrome mobile, a file was put in the downloads app. I installed a third party for browser for my phone and looked in the downloads folder it showed for my phone and discovered the files I had been downloading with Firefox in it. It seems Firefox doesn't display files downloaded in the downloads app provided with Android which is a problem because that means without a third party for browser, you can't get rid of them. (Petty for sizes but they would eventually fill your phones storage). Is a downloads folder provided with Firefox? Can the downloads be viewed in the stock downloads app?

hello

i would like to disable download history only, i tried the "clear history when firefox exits" option checking the download history only, but it didn't work. the download window is clear, but everything is there in the download history. is there a way to disable download history only, leaving the others intact?

thanks rgds jp

I want English as default language (FireFox for Mac) Preferences / Content / Choose a language It is set to English Yet on Googling it appears to be Polish

How do I change that ?

I keep getting an error message saying "It looks like you have a flash blocker browser settings or extension. Please enable flash to hear sound" error message come up when I try to play music in Soundcloud. I have just installed Firefox on my laptop and upgraded to the latest Flash player. I then tried down grading to Flash 10.3 but this didn't help. I have been watching programs in iplayer and had no problems there. Please help!

OK, I admit that I have been using an old version of Firefox on two machines for a long time. I just got so tired of being told to update every few days! On my laptop (version 10) Adblock works fine. On a new machine I'm setting up now, using version 18, I find that the old Adblock is not available, but am told to try a newer version. However this doesn't work. Is Adblock a thing of the past? I certainly hope not! Cheers, Geoff

Recently there had been problems with Yahoo Mail and java, I updated but still unable to use it. The strange thing is that I have a PC (XP) whre it will not work and a laptop (win 7 ) where it does work. Both computers have the latest update of Java and both have the most current version of FF. Anyone have any ideas why one works and the other does not. Maybe it is not java, but I can't think of anything else. Open to suggestions. Thanks

I had this problem for awhile. I tried EVERYTHING. I reset the link in About:config, deleted the XML file....and every time I fix it bam yahoo squirms it's way back. Nothing seems to be a permanent fix...the only other thing I haven't tried is to take down Yahoo! itself and destroy everything to do with it. I'm hoping Personas has nothing to do with it... That's the only add-on I have. I think. Anyone else have any advice? Or a plan on how to destroy Yahoo? -___-;;

Firefox 18.0

I have some bookmarks pinned to the taskbar. They show the URL of the link, not the name of the bookmark. For example; in my bookmarks dropdown menu I have a bookmark named 'hotmail', but when I pin it to the Firefox icon in the task bar it shows up as https://login.live.com.....

How do I rename it or get it to show the same name as in the dropdown menu?

I just updated to Firefox 18 and my default Firefox start page does not work. I type in a word and hit 'enter' or click on search and nothing happens. If I use the Google bar no problem.

2 Feb 2013 Concerns: Firefox 18.0.1 often freezes, at random times, since about 31 Jan 2013 I am using Mozilla Firefox 18.0.1, Windows Vista, PC, Desktop. My Mozilla Firefox freezes since about 31 Jan 2013 at random times quite often, when I do see TV or videos, also with YouTube videos. It freezes especially when I do start TV or a Video, sometimes also it freezes when the video is running for some time. I do use Firefox mostly only for TV and videos, so else I do not see. Some days earlier (26 January 2013), I had installed the upgrade of the new Norton Internet Security 2013. The two Norton add-ons on for Firefox, I have both deactivated. I can get out of the freezing, when I do click to end the Internet connection. After I have waited for about 5 seconds, the Mozilla Firefox browser can be moved again with the cursor. After I click to close the Firefox, and wait for about 5 seconds, the freezing also does end. I did do two Windows restores, one to 1 week ago and the next to 2 weeks ago. After the restore, when I started Mozilla Firefox, it was at first Firefox 17. But to my very bad luck, Firefox started immediately to update to Firefox 18.0.1 I had seen this updating on Help – About Firefox. There were good times, when people could choose themselves which version of Firefox they wanted. After the restore, I had also downloaded the latest Adobe Flashplayer version (about version 11.5), but the freezes have remained the same. Is there a possility to prevent the automatic update of Firefox? So that I could choose which version of Firefox, I do want. When there is a serious bug in Firefox, I could nevertheless use Firefox instead of changing to the Internet Explorer. I know I myself am responsible to prevent hackers from entering my computer. I have read that 80% of users in Germany do not have any Internet Security against hackers at all. My Internet Explorer until now does not freeze.

I've have severe problems because Firefox 18.0.1 can;t install the plugin and I can access some websites that I used frequently. I do the plugin install and it does not installed, do manually does not install. I do not know what to do. Everything was fine before I installed the 18.0.1
