I am not technical. When I use internet explorer I have a line file, edit view, favourites, edit help & I used to have this in firefox, I don't anymore. What can I do to get it back please

I have the latest version of Firefox as well as Java. On Pogo.com some games play properly while others do not. The screen just has game loading. Now if I log into Pogo.com on Firefox in the safe mode, every game works properly. Pogo says it is a Firefox problem and I tend to agree. On the same computer I also run Internet Explorer 7.057 and have no problems with it on Pogo. However I do not like using Internet Explorer. I much prefer Firefox. Any suggestions?

This doesn't happen with any other websites. It's extremely slow to scroll, load pages, etc. and whenever I have a Facebook tab open it slows down the whole browser. The browser goes back to normal speed as soon as the Facebook tabs are closed. The worst is when I am typing a message or comment on Facebook - especially messages - it lags behind my actual typing speed so badly that I have to stop and wait for the characters to catch up to me, sometimes for several minutes just to finish a single sentence before I can move on. It's making it extremely difficult to use as a communication tool and I'm not sure what to do about it.

I use a Netbook, which has a small screen, so I typically "zoom in" to enlarge the appearance of text and images. Is there a way to lock in a desired zoom level so that I don't have to adjust every new tab or window that I open?

for some reason where my persona is the I have lost all the boxs that were above little house that takes you back to your home page. So I have no way of getting into my tools, bookmarks, add-ons, copy, paste etc. I'm a silver server and am not tottaly into how these things work!

In 'my computer' > c>program files>mozilla firwefox , I have (now) ,chrome;chrome(2);chrome(3).etc for nearly all the folders. Like multiple instalations on top of each other. So, now I can't start Firefox nor uninstall it to clean the plate for a fresh install.

I did install firefox again without unistalling what was there ,I thought it would recognize and deal with the previous.

The reason I thought I needed to reinstall firefox in the first place was : It seemed to take away 1/3 of my 'Immunity" in Spybot search and Destroy, everytime I opened Firefox. Thought might have undetectable 'Greeble' in firefox. This only started to happen in the last couple of days. Using 'System Restore' didn't clear it , so fresh install of Firefox seemed best.

I want to Unistall ,Delete ,Purge clean up , all the bits of Firefox and start again . If you can help ,please be absolutely clear in instructions , so i don't misunderstand. Hopefully , helpful , smilin'

When I go to a web site, the section of the navigation tool bar that displays the URL of the page no longer shows the http://www URL address as it always did in the past. The size of that part has shrunk. The area where you type in URL for search engine has expanded. I have no problems with the navigation bar, history, bookmarks, tabs, etc. Only problem is the URL does not display the page. Even this page has no URL shown on the navigation bar. All it has is the logo for mozilla and when I put the cursor over it, it says "Web site does not supply identity information." The same thing shows for every site I go to. Yes, I can bookmark the page with no problems and can use bookmarks to return to the page. But no URL is actually displayed like it always did in the past. Oh, I have an IMac and use a razor keyboard.

Hi Support

I have a new desktop computer running Win 7, 64 bit. When I use Firefox version 3.6.8 to display my website it displays all out of alignment. If I use IE 8.0 it displays fine. If I use my laptop which runs Win XP the site displays fine with both IE 8.0 and Firefox. I therefore assume there maybe a problem with Win 7, 64 bit and Firefox working properly together. Is there a solution available to help solve this problem or do I have to wait until Firefox is released in a 64 bit version?

I went through the features and add-ons available with recent (approx. 1 month ago) UPDATE of Firefox. One thing I chose was a gimmick that adds color and graphics to (I believe) the SHELL of all pages. I don't really like it: find it too hard to read my tool bar and other info at top. I want to REMOVE THIS and have STANDARD SHELL. I can find NOTHING within my preferences that will lead me to the (NO idea what it is called) add-on involved. I want to know HOW TO FIND IT and HOW to REMOVE IT. Thanks!!

the firefox help tutorial says , quote 'to open bookmark manager select Bookmarks >manage bookmarks'. It shows 'manage bookmarks' immediately below 'bookmark this page'. The drop down menu on my firefox does not have the 'manage bookmarks' instruction on the menu. I am running firefox 3.6/win vista. and I am finding it difficult to organize my bookmarks .Any help would be much appreciated.

Yesterday, my yahoo will not load properly. It is spaced out, not formatted, no graphics, etc. I can get to my mail by clicking through the word Mail but cannot read the front page. Have used FF for months with no problem. Thanks.

When I attempt to log in to things like Gmail, or any other site that requires me to enter a user name and password where I haven't opted to be signed in automatically, Firefox immediately crashes. I can restore the tabs, but only to get back to the sign in screen. This has made it impossible for me to check my email from my own computer.

Hardware is quite strong for browsing Intel Q6600, 4GB RAM, Geforce 8800GTS 512 MB

I am experiencing mini-freezes, also I have to mention that I use a 24' screen at 1920x1200 and I browse most of the sites zoomed in (realy like the way it is implemented in firefox):

These random (i cant locate a pattern) mini-freezes (some times -5%- after the pause i hear the HDD spinning) happen when: 1) I type (i originally thought that this happens because I have a spelling addon) 2) I see videos on youtube: problems include minifreezes, reduced performance (cant watch 1080p), minifreezes seem to affect caching which stops and i have to point the slider to a new location to re-initiate.

Have checked with Internet explorer and Opera and those problems do not happen, performance is better and there are no minifreezes.

A lot of times when I tried to load Firefox I get the message "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

Script: chrome://global/content/bindings/browser.xml:187" I'm running version 3.6.8

Whenever this starts occuring, the status bar will also start flickering between showing link's target href value and nothing, and tooltips (that would normally pop up on hover) appear briefly then disappear. The same thing happens with Javascript dropdown menus, which make it nearly impossible then to navigate a Java-based site.

I run Firefox on one desktop replacement laptop (Dell Inspiron 9400), one netbook (Asus Eee 1000), and one PC (the one I'm making this report from) and all of them have the same problem, even when I did a complete uninstall and reinstall of FF, and even when using different combinations of extensions.

Identical prblem reported here, but with Ubuntu:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/87043

but no solution. I'm completely stumped, and increasingly annoyed.

I have just reinstalled firefox because MSN/Bing had infiltrated it as a serch enginge default. As a result I have an ugly and cumbersome Google page on startup. How do I get "plain and simple" back? ("Plain and simple was one of the attractions of Firefox in the first place)
