Opened firefox and completely black screen except border Closed and reopened which brought up firefox start page but when click in entry box such as search engine it turned black and then wherever clicked black sections appeared. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling clean but same problem. Firefox will work in safe mode.

Hello. I'm wondering if this happens only to me, the "Quit Firefox" dialog don't show to provide the options of "save and quit"/"quit"/"cancel". I'm sure enabled the option to warn me when closing multiple tabs and opened more than 1 tab when I close Firefox. This only happen in the latest Firefox 4.0 beta 10, actually I discovered this problem in the nighty build of 4.0 b10, and I hope this will fix in the final b10, but it seems not. I've done a clean install b10 on several machines too, but the results are the same. As a result I roll back to 4.0 b9.

Shortly stated - All my Google Fonts look the same in Firefox 3 (latest build) and Firefox 4 beta 9

I have tried disabling/enabling all plugins/extensions one by one and all at once.

I have tried removing Firefox 3 completely and installing Firefox 4 Beta to no effect on Google Web Fonts.

I've also made sure that Tools > Options has Javascript enabled as well as "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above" - Advanced is enabled.

I need help please, I like to do all my web development in Firefox so going between Chrome and Firefox (works in Chrome just fine) is a bit of a pain.

Here's the screenshot of how my Firefox see Google Web Fonts (btw same applies to any page with Google Fonts or Font Previewer of Google.)

Here's my FF > Options > Fonts page -

Thank you for any assitance that you willing to provide.

The Navigational Toolbar buttons like the Back, Forward, Reload, Stop, Home etc are spread across the entire toolbar. Earlier, they used to be clubbed together. Clicking Home or Reload was as easy as simply taking the pointer to the top left corner of the screen and clicking the button. Now, I need to really start hunting for the Home or the Reload button if i require to use it. Please can we club these buttons to one side of the page so that you don't have to look for them all across the toolbar?

Sometimes (mainly with a touchpad) moving the mouse cursor to the tab, right-clicking and choosing "Pin as App Tab" is a lot of work compared to just using a keyboard shortcut. Is there a keyboard shortcut to do this?

I just installed the Firefox 4 beta, and removed the AppData settings from Firefox 3 so it would use a fresh config. Still, I'm having an issue that keeps me from using the browser at all.

Whenever I access google, Firefox gets stuck and becomes unusable. I can't click anything any more, although Windows doesn't report it as a stuck application either. If I click the close button, Firefox closes, but the process remains stuck and I have to kill it from Task Manager. I'm not experiencing this with any other website but google. Anyone know how this issue can be fixed please?

After testing on Adobe's website and others, flash is definetly not working on 4b9 64 bit, but it does on 32 bit environment. It's also perfectly working with safari.

Like the Title says, every time I open a new blank tab on Firefox 4 Beta, I get an error that says "JavaScript Application - Reference Error: XPCSafeJSObjectWrapper is not defined" This never happened to me before upgrading a new version of the Firefox Beta some time ago...is there any way to fix this?

i had firefox 4 beta 8 installed and i had all my bookmarks in it. I downloaded firefox 4 beta 9 and installed it. my bookmarks were showing up fine in beta 9 so i went ahead and uninstalled firefox 4 beta 8 completely. so while i did that i closed beta 9 and when i went to open my bookmarks were completely gone. so of course i reinstalled beta 8 and no luck tried system restore but it was completely turned off so no luck either. so my question is , is there anyway to recover all my bookmarks back ?

In firefox 3.x, when I typed in a keyword search into the location bar, if there was a high degree of match firefox would take me directly to the website (i.e., when i type in "google docs" and press enter, it takes me directly to the google docs site).

Now, in Firefox 4 when i type in "google docs" it just takes me to google' search result page. I checked in about:config that "keyword.enabled" - true. I don't know what else I'm doing wrong?

Ok so it took me a long while to find how to move the cache location, and the reason is it's done by an entry that doesn't even exist originally, so a user would have to magically know the config string to even set it. (it's browser.cache.disk.parent_directory for those in the same waters as me) and it still did not move the profile location... To switch profile locations? The only doc that talks about it is here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder and it's not working so well for me (i.e. at all) but why do I have to copy and edit things? This is created automatically at first start so can't FF use the same method to create a new profile in an empty space?

And my actual question: is there any valid reason that there is no UI item to set the location of cache/profile directories??

The font shows in the address bar, on my bookmarks and firefox in general, but not for the web pages themselves. Also this font is in the menu/settings for ff. I tried to change the font in the options menu, but the entire font list has the same look. Changing this does not alter anything. I also tried disabling all ad ons, and the used the standard look for ff.

Sorry, seems like a stupid thing to ask, but b9 is flickering like crazy with tabs disappearing or closing randomly and I would like to revert to b8 until b9 is fixed.

My problem: even after 10 minutes of searching, I can't find b8 for download anymore?

Many thanks, keep up the good work.

Under Windows 7, it was possible in Ffx 4.0b8 to see a preview of all tabs in the windows taskbar and select a tabs from the preview to show it. It was usefull, for example, only to check if the iGoogle page updates and there is new mail or this kind of things.

The taskbar icons looked like several pages when several tabs where opened.

Now, in 4.0b9, all this disappears, I can only see the preview of the actual active tabs and not the others tabs. I can't select an another tabs from the windows taskbar. The icon in the taskbar doesn't look like several page when several tabs are opened

Firefox crashes immediately after loading a page from the Internet. This happens even in safe mode. This started happening after I installed gtalk plugin. this is the error message:

(process:9837): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion `sys_page_size == 0' failed

NPP_GetValue()

NPP_GetValue()

i have reinstalled Firefox using package manager but the same problem persists even opening the add-on manager crashes Firefox

I hope this is the right place to be asking these kind og questions. I haven't been able to find any answers to this, so I'm hoping for you to be able to answer me. :)

I love how the new Firefox 4 browser is progressing, and especially love the improved speed and thus the ability to use a web app such as grooveshark, which is now almost entirely based on JavasScript, rather than Flash. Since I'm now able to use Grooveshark I'm absolutely in love with the new idea of an app tab.

My two questions has something to do with the new app tab feature, which is as following:

Firstly: When I'm using an web app in my app tab, am I ever going to be able to hide the navigation bar? Is there made plans for the development of that particular feature?

Secondly: Is there made plans for persistent app tabs across multiple windows? I find it rater odd, that my pinned app tabs is not showing on all of my browser windows if should I choose to have multiple windows open. I know that this probably will be a bit difficult to implement. What will happen when interact with one app tab on one window, and then opens the same app tab on another window? Unless app tabs runs as seperate programs, it would be hard to maintain... But nevertheless my question is still the same. Is there made plans for persistent app tabs across multiple open windows? :)

Hope you can answer my questions since I have had a hard time trying to search for them myself in the interwebs!

I chose such tabs' appearance that they replaced window title. But they have colourized in titlebar colour, and tab's name isn't standing out. Exactly, I have default appearance of Windows. so my tabs aren't beige (how it must be), they are blue. Sorry for my bad English :)

Two major issues for me with Firefox 4.0 Beta 9, all to do with tabs

When I click "Open link in a new tab", lets say when I'm reading an article in an online site, it opens to the right of the last tab, instead of opening immediately to the right of the tab I'm viewing. This behaviour is not consistent, for example if I'm inside a website and I click on a menu, then it will open the tab immediately to the right, as I like. Sometimes it will not.

What is consistent is that when I click on any of the bookmarks I've in my bookmarks toolbar the tab will steal focus and it opens at the very end. This is actually quite annoying, because sometimes I'm just opening the links I would to check later on and not at the very moment.

Thanks

Thunderbird 3.1.7 opens URL links in a browser. With FF4b9 is works the first time to open FF, but if I click on a second URL link within Thunderbird it gives the following error: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." In fact it provokes two error dialogues one after the other. In order to get the URL link to work, I have to close down FF. The URL link then works but still provokes the error dialogue. It is not until the URL link is used a second time that the link doesn't work and I have to close FF.
