С помощью клавиши "+" можно открывать новую вкладку, а также автоматически (если установлено), открываются визуальные закладки. В предыдущей версии Firefox эта клавиша была, после обновления новой 8-ой версии установила визуальные закладки, а перейти к ним не могу, только если открывать "Файл"- "Новая вкладка" или "Ctrl+T".

Firefox is running slow since upgrade to 8, do I have to uninstall to reinstall 7. Firefox 8 seem`s to be the problem have tried every thing else I can think of to put this right.

When I go to a site that contains Flash content, it says "A plugin is needed to display this content" and there is a link to install the plugin. Additionally, there is a message at the top of the page that says "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page" with an option to "Install Missing Plugins." I click the link to install the missing plugin, and a dialog box pops up that says "The following plugins are available:" and lists "Adobe Flash Player 11.0.1.152" with a check box next to it. The box is checked, and I click "Next" to install. It goes through the motions, and then tells me that "No plugins were installed." There is a link to manually install the plugin, which takes me to Adobe's Flash download page. I unchecked the box to pair McAfee Security with the download, and downloaded the latest version of Flash (to be honest, I've actually downloaded this exact same version about 10 times today). The dialog box pops up, I save the file, and once it has downloaded, I open the containing folder (my downloads folder). I then close all programs (including Firefox) except for the Windows Explorer folder that I'm going to run the installer from. I double-click on the Flash installer to run the installation. The installation process completes, the installer tells me that the download is successful, and my browser opens back up with an "Installation Successful" message from the Adobe website. Yay! My installation is successful... Orrrrrr not. Navigating back to the page with the Flash media - still have a message saying I need the plugin. Attempt to download plugin again...no dice.

THEN, I go to "Manage my add-ons" thinking maybe I need to enable the plugin. There is no Flash (or Shockwave) plugin listed on any of the menus - it's like it doesn't exist.

I downloaded the latest version of Java because I read somewhere that Flash requires Java to work; I installed the "Add-On Compatibility Reporter" so I could force Java to be enabled. It made no difference whatsoever, as best I can tell.

I also went to Adobe's page where you can see what version of Flash you're running (http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/) and it doesn't even show that I have Flash installed. In Internet Explorer, it does show that I have Flash installed, but it's the previous version (but that is likely due to the fact that I downloaded Flash from Mozilla, not IE, and they use different modes in each browser - so an update that you download from one browser does not necessarily apply to the other browser).

So in summary: I do not know what on earth is wrong here, but I am about as frustrated as I have ever been in my life. I don't know why the Adobe Flash installation is saying it is successful (is it lying to me??), but there is no plugin showing up in my Manage Add-Ons menu, and I have googled every possible combination of the content in this post and have not found a solution that works yet.

I have many Google Maps on my website and they contain both default Google icons and my own icons, each with their own URLs. They work correctly in all other browsers, and Firefox 7. However, yesterday I loaded Firefox 8. In Firefox 8 the Google default icons are still visible but my own icons are now invisible, but their placeholders are still there. They are still visible in other browsers. Also, if I now try and add one of my icons to a map, the process seems to work correctly, including a placemark name appearing, but the icon is invisible. The invisible icon is definitely there because you can click the placemark and be taken to the correct position on the map for editing, but the icon is not visible.

I've got a problem with the MySpace audio player. When I'm trying to listen to a song, there is a message popping up saying that the Flash cannot be played, it suggests me to refresh/restart browser or upgrade flash . But I'm already using this version of flash and I've got the latest FF. p.s.: IE had no problems.

About a third of the bookmarks in my bookmarks tool bar has lost their icons. it is replaced by an empty checked border square placeholder.

- 11-12-11 update - Seems like the issue is the new blank favicon image used.  A check of some screen shots from old work, shows the ones I can see were in fact empty then also.

ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled = 1 does not help. All Plugins and drivers (Synaptics) up to date. Samsung 900x3a. Cursor changes icon when performing two finger gesture but does not scroll. No PDF loaded. No other tab open. When PDF loaded in tab the PDF scrolls with gesture. Same problem in Thunderbird 8. Reason to use Chrome as standard browser.

При введении адреса в адресной строке, не переходит на запрашиваемую страницу. Т.е. запрашиваемый адрес отображается, и ... ничего не происходит ни после нажатия enter, ни после нажатия значка перейти

While on Firefox and using Google as the search engine, it randomly opens a separate window asking "You have chosen to open-Search ". I didn't even press any commands or any sort for it to pop out. It's becoming very frustrating as each time I close it and continue to type it appears again.http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/412/firefoxerror.jpg/

I have no idea how MyStart by IncrediBar got on to my computer. Initially, it hijacked my browser, where upon opening Firefox (8.01) it re-directed my homepage to a MyStart search page. I have never intentionally allowed MyStart, IncrediBar, or IncrediMail into my system.

Using the Control Panel (Vista Home Premium – 64-bit), I uninstalled the program. Then, I went into Firefox Options and disallowed and/or deleted all references to these programs. I also reset my homepage to where I had previously set it to be. I tried to do a System Restore twice, but each time it failed, returning a message indicating that “An unspecified error occurred during System Restore.” I did a complete system scan with Norton 360, which turned up nothing.

Now, my homepage opens to my desired site and MyStart no longer shows up as a search engine choice in the upper-right search box, but when opening Firefox, a second tab immediately opens with the MyStart search page and the url “http://mystart.incredibar.com/?a=6Oyn8n6bDE&i=26.” I also have Internet Explorer 9 on my pc. I was able to completely remove MyStart from that browser. I have searched the Firefox Help website and applied all suggested tactics noted there (including the suggestion from kevinsenjaya regarding about:config), but still have the problem.

I would appreciate guidance on two items: (1) Should I be concerned that my computer is no longer secure because of MyStart and (2) How do I prevent MyStart from automatically opening each time I open Firefox?

Thanks for your help. Don

I installed Firefox 8 today and ended up with a problem with the home page. After a set the desired home page in Firefox-> Options, the home page changes back to http://workathomethere.com/14/?sid=1 when I restart Firefox. While in the same session, the home page keeps the correct setting. I tried running in sage mode an restoring user defaults, but it did not help. I run 64 bit Windows 7. The windows registry does not contain amy setting for the above url. This seems to be a virus, but I would like to know where the Firefox keeps the setting for the home page. The same problem existed on IE 9, but after removing setting for the home page from the registry, the IE displays the correct home page.

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
