Support Forum

I want a new window to open with the thumbnails of my preferred websites.

I have set up the "Home Page" option with "about:newtab" and i'm pretty sure it was working until a few days ago.

I already searched the knowledge base and checked the parameters in "about:config" suggested in other topics (http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/931476) and they are properly set.

My machine I have an old 2008 macbook with 2 system boots: Leopard and Snow Leopard. I'm pretty sure this setting was working fine on both and now it isn't on the Leopard boot. I know this OS isn't supported anymore, but I set the "about:newtab" AFTER the last update which notified the system wasn't supported anymore.

Since then, i haven't installed any extension or theme: the browser is a stock install with the last update possible.

I have a series of questions related to the OS dictionary and about looking up the definitions of words and spelling. With Safari I could use Command+: to turn on Spell checker and loved using it. I have spell checker turned on with FireFox via Preferences/Advanced/Check my spelling as I type and like the other method better. I suppose I could get used to the method FireFox uses, but don't understand why cmd: can't work too. I even went in through system preferences and added it as a keyboard shortcut for Firefox without success. I dont' see anything in the pulldown menu's using that key-combination so what's blocking it? Another important feature that doesn't work is I can't click on a word to look up the definition. That's an important feature and I use it often. Because of these I stopped using firefox and continue using Safari even though Safari doesn't work for a main site I visit. Safari is also generally slow and locks up constantly causing me a lot of grief. If the problems I wrote about worked I wouldn't use Safari again and would commit to using Firefox. I would appreciate knowing how to do what I'm trying to do. Thanks,

When trying to print in Firefox, and when scaling the page size in page setup, the first page prints correctly, but subsequent pages do not scale correctly and are too large for the paper, with parts of the text are being cut off at the top and right. This is not fixed by checking or un-checking the "ignore scaling/shrink to fit page width" in the print window, or by changing the scaling%.

I am running Firefox 15.0.1, on Mac OS 10.5.8.

The same problem happens in the print preview and if I save the print as a .pdf

I have tried all the fixes in the how to's and others in various forums with no improvement.

This happens every time I try to print a document scaled up or down only in Firefox.

When ordering and paying a train ticket by internet they send a pdf-file, which one must download and print. When downloading this with Firefox (from my e-mail account) the pdf-file says (SECURED) and I cannot print out the ticket (pdf-file). (Adobe program stops automatically). When downloading this same pdf-file in Safari, I encounter no problems.

i opened scratchpad by accident on my laptop and cannot get rid of it someone tell me how to get rid im on mac and firefox update 11.0 cos oit wont update to newer firefox cos its an old mac book pro

please

thanks owen

I have a lot of folder that I was storing emails in that are no longer significant. I know how to add folders, but I don't know how to eliminate them when they are no longer needed.

In the gray area immediately below the address bar are four icons, Most Visited, Loading, and two others of sites that for privacy reasons I do not want shown here. (At the far right is Bookmarks with a star next to it.) I did not put any of them there. How do I get rid of the two I do not want shown?

Requirements: Mac OS X 10.6 - check - 10.6.8 Macintosh computer with an Intel x86 processor - check - 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 512 MB of RAM - check - 2 Gb 200 MB hard drive space - check - 130.81Gb free

Is there some kind of hidden requirement I don't know about?

I have three browsers including Firefox 3.6.28. I am running a Mac Power Book G4 with a OS X 10.5.8

For security purposes, I have installed a "text seal" and "color" on Yahoo Mail. For my other two browsers the text seal and color remain permanent when I quit each but for Firefox, when I delete history or just "quit," the next time I try Yahoo Mail both the text seal and color have not been saved.

Of course, I do not have to use Yahoo on Firefox but I would like to; always have.

On my mother's computer which has the latest version of FireFox installed (I've made sure of that) it constantly shows messages on varying sites such as GMail that the browser is out of date and should be upgraded. As you can probably guess these messages mean almost nothing at all except to warn you that the site may not work, but they get annoying day after day when you can't upgrade to some version of FireFox that will be released in the literal future. What puzzles me is that I'm on a computer right now that is using FireFox 4.2 and I don't see these messages anywhere but I have seen them on her computer. I might just install Aurora but that might confuse her....

So after I deleted a bunch of files/applications today (computer was threatening to crash), Firefox started to do a couple weird things. Navigating backward is no longer possible; the back navigation arrow is greyed out. Also, when I start typing a URL, it no longer suggests the rest of it, either in the URL bar itself or in a drop down menu (it used to do both). 16.0.2 is the current version, right? That's the one I kept, I deleted the others. Recently, I got the announcement that Apple isn't supporting my operating system, Mac OS X 10.5.8 anymore, I don't know if that is relevant. How can these things be fixed?
