'Save Image As' keeps changing the location it's saving the file. As I'm going through various pages and saving certain images, I notice that sometimes it saves where I'm expecting it to, (the location I most recently selected while saving an image), but very often, in the same session (meaning I haven't closed and restarted FF), it decides to change the location to a directory I've used earlier, instead of where it just saved the previous file.

I thought it might be a scenario something like, I open tabs 1 - 5, save images to location A. Then I save a file to location B, open up pages 6 - 10, save a file to location A again. At this point I expect that my files will default to location A, but maybe pages 6 - 10 now have location B associated with them and they will default there instead. I just tested that and that's not it.

It's also not extension (ie .jpg, .gif) that forces the change of location. I can't figure out what triggers it.

Does anyone know if there is another about:config setting that we can change, (which the next FF upgrade in 5 minutes will undoubtedly override) to restore proper behavior?

This behavior started with the upgrade to FF 7.

Please can someone help! I have been stuck trying to change the language on Firefox, which is now in Italiano... it is really hard to navigate, and trying to find how to gain support/ ask a question is also really hard to navigate, even when I found the English forum...

As compared to firefox6, this version, ff ver # 7.0.1 is very slow in opening the webpages. It takes a long time to show the webpage. I have tried to disable add ons and did everything i could,but there seems to be a no solution.

Within the past few days when there was a Firefox update, every time I start Firefox, I get the following message (shortened in the middle): Exception..."Component returned failure code: 0x80004005...skype_ff.extension/content/browser Overlay.js"

When I clicked on a link on the US Bank website, I received [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [ISkypeFfExtension.Initialize]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://skype_ff_extension/content/browserOverlay.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 9" data: no] In both cases, if I click OK, the process I requested then takes place. What do I need to do?

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?

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 ....

This function no longer resizes popped-out windows even though Options -> Content -> JavaScript Advanced -> Move or resize existing windows is enabled.

I am unable to get rid of the Bing search window. To be absolutely clear on what I am trying to get rid of : to the right of my open tabs there is a Bing search box. This is the one I am trying to get rid of. There is no mention of Bing or toolbar in the add-ons section of Firefox nor is there an entry for this in remove programs, I am using Firefox 7.o1 and Vista Home 64bit. Is this the new thing they have added in partnership with Microsoft or is there a way I can't find to get rid of this?

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.

The Sun Java Addin is always disabled with FF 7. What gives?

I installed the latest Java Runtime Environment 7.0.0.147 (x86) but no luck. :(

It is really annoying to update an FF these days because of these incompatibility issues. Mozilla needs to work closer with other software developers to ensure that they have all the add-ins compatible at the time of release :(

I want to import my bookmarks from Internet Explorer. Firefox Help says that there is an option called "Import" under the "File" drop-down menu. This command does not show up in my newly-installed FF 7.0b2. I also picked "Import my bookmarks" during the installation, but this did not happen. I was previously running Internet Explorer v 9

When I try to watch movies with the DivX Web Player, the video control bar disappears and I have no way of bringing it back. I can't pause, rewind, fast forward or even change the volume. Also, when I full screen the video, it won't let me bring up the video control box to avoid losing my mouse.

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.

i found myself replacing my computer for various reasons and need to get all my data of my old computer to the new one. however, when it came to Firefox and my tab groups, book marks and history i found no real way to export them to the other computer. is there some way to save all that information and then move it onto the new computer? it is tiresome to have to lose all my save information as well as all the tabs i have because i need them and it is time consuming to be copy and pasting all my address into a text and saving it that way.

I have just come to Firefox and two issues arise in use. How do I retain regularly used web addresses, like banks, travel co, etc. In explorer there is a category called favourites that do not appear in the history file.

Also I do not see a secure sign like a padlock when accessing the supermarket Waitrose .com with firfox but it appears with explorer is this a problem.
