I can't search at all and I can't use foxfire until this is fixed. I don't even have a back button and my search window (to the right) went away. I looked through and selected all the options on "view--toolbars" and that didn't work. How can I get them back?

I just want to disable spacebar scrolling pages in firefox 13.0.1 (or any other version not too old) by any means, maybe I can intrude some code into firefox files or is there some official option to disable the page scroll when i press spacebar?

I Googled this problem and found nothing useful, and also checked the support area here and still nothing. I am creating a web page with HTML5 video. I made a layer with the video object that is hidden with CSS until the user clicks a link. When the user clicks the link, I use a JavaScript function to show and play the HTML5 video object. Works fine except that Firefox keeps the play button overlay in place while my video is playing! If I click on the overlay, the video pauses. Then if I click on it again, the overlay disappears and the video resumes playing.

I realize there are workarounds that can be hacked. But it's definitely a bug that the overlay stays in place after the video has started via a JavaScript command. I hope this problem finds its way to the right people at Mozilla for resolution.

I tried the two methods I've heard so far to disable the new firefox 19 pdf viewr: -in about:config set pdfjs.disable to true -options>Applications>set pdf view application

The trouble: when I set the viewing application for pdf to Foxit, firefox automatically downloads the pdf to open it in the separate application. Up until firefox 19, the Foxit reader application would open in the browser. Since Foxit does not have a firefox add-on, how do I disable the firefox 19 pdf viewer and use Foxit Reader to open pdfs as a new tab in the browser?

My computer, or the software (windows 7) crashed yesterday. I got my system back up and running through HP tech support. But, now I have the problem of trying to restore all my bookmarks that I had with firefox before the crash. Unfortunately, HP's tech support can't seem to help that issue, even though I did do a backup on a DVD prior to the fix. Being I suspect firefox has a way of remembering my bookmarks, how in the world can I now reinstall those bookmarks, and I had plenty, to my now repaired windows 7 system? I'm sure hoping, there has to be a way to restore all of my previous bookmarks! Can anyone help?

The tabs keep appearing from a couple of days ago. Sometimes they are replaced by later tabs created. This version of Firefox is not as user friendly as my older version was. Now running Windows 7 and not XP.

This is the message -

"Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page"

This message comes up at the top of the browser [top of the webpage] when I visit this page -

How do I turn of this annoying feature so that I can enjoy using Firefox???

Thanks

Smart Suggestor keeps popping up and I want to uninstall but cannot find it. It is not in my add-ons, extensions, programs, folders...no where! There is no buttons to click on my right hand tool bar etc. I am running foxfire 13.0.1, windows 7. It is very annoying, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Firefox does not trust a specific secure website that I know is secure, but it does trust other secure websites. Also, Internet Explorer trusts this website and Firefox on another computer trusts this same website. When I try to connect Firefox tells me that it does not have a valid certificate (even though I know one exists) and that I would have to make an exception to connect. Is there some way I can correct this and get the proper certificate into this particular Firefox program?

I typed in the website (www.n2yo.com) and pressed return to open it. Unfortunately it just keeps acting as if it is refreshing and not opening the webpage. Ie the image to the left of the url keeps flashing in alternation with a square like shape, and the progress circle and line at the top just keeps flashing and resetting.

It worked fine yesterday. Certain parts of the website worked fine earlier today also. But now every variation of a page within that site seems to be doing the same thing.

Thoughts? Guidance?

Like a lot of others, I have had terrible problems with this damn incredibar thing that has somehow gotten onto my laptop. Thanks to the other threads in the forums I have managed to get Firefox back to what I originally had, (remove webassistent, check about:config etc...) but I still have one concern. When I search for incredibar in about:config, I still get a whole load of extensions.incredibar results. I am not very technically literate when it comes to these things but is there anyway I can remove these or are they just remnants that I am better off leaving alone? The incredibar extension doesn't seem to come up in the list under the Firefox Tab. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have an issue with one of my Firefox extensions/plugins, it's called MyStart: Incredibar, and I basically installed unintentionally when I installed a program with a Brothersoft downloader/launcher. I tried uninstalling Mystart and I tried permanently stopping the service that updates the MyStart incredibar plugin. What it basically does is, when I open a new tab in Firefox, it opens some sort of website, I don't have a problem with it loading a search engine, the only problem I have regarding the search engine is that every time I open a new tab, it actually loads a new page. I even tried resetting the certain figures in about:config which helped temporarily, but after I restart Firefox then it still runs the search engine when I open a new tab. I use Eset Nod32 and Anti-Malmwarebytes as my system's defense, and I've tried scanning with both of them but they don't help at all, does anyone have information that will permanently remove this plugin from my PC?

has gmail stopped supporting firefox new versions? i dont want to switch to chrome? wat can i do? am using windows xp sp3

This question has been asked before but is locked so I'm having to raise a new query. The original query was: "When firefox is opened to Google's home page, it does not set focus to the text box. I have to click in or select the text box before my typing shows up." The user who raised that query was on v4.7, I think; I'm using v13.0.1 so why does the problem still exist? I open Google along with the BBC home page when I start Firefox. If I open Google in a new tab the focus is set correctly on the text box. This is very annoying. Anyone have any ideas on how to get round this?

Before I dispose of this browser forever, can someone explain why Firefox will not allow the current tab to be closed, but instead I am only given the option of closing all tabs. Please, I need a fix if Firefox is going to exit on my computer. I am tired of entertaining this issue every time I go to a webpage. Do not respond if you believe this can be solved by clicking on a red X.

Thanks tomlirvine

I have set my school proxy settings and use them very often. On certain websites, the ads keep using these proxy settings (probably to show me ads according to my preferences or I don't know), and I get the "Authentication required" message box over and over again until the page finishes loading. It's annoying because if I have many tabs open and am currently on another page while the website with the ads is loading, I get brought back to that page to authenticate. I can get asked 3 times to authenticate while this one page is loading, and it takes forever to load because of that. I do not want to disable my proxy settings because I use it very often. I have tried unchecking the "Accept cookies from websites" box and nothing happens, it still does the same. I want these ads to stop going through my proxy settings. How do I do that?

Firefox email recommends steps for security...but when I try to viz. the recommendations, I get a popup that tells me Mozilla page is not secure, so I can't view the recommendations
