I want English as default language (FireFox for Mac) Preferences / Content / Choose a language It is set to English Yet on Googling it appears to be Polish

How do I change that ?

Just upgraded from version 17 to 20 to find, somehow, Firefox has taken a step backward in how the download window is displayed.

This is the old one: http://limi.net/media/copy_of_Downloadspopulated.png

Look at all that useful information, File name, file size, URL of site, and time/date completed.

Who thought it would be a good idea to take all that info away when "upgrading" to Firefox 20?

Why can't people just do their job right :-s

When I move the mouse over anything on the screen it flickers. When I move it across a hyperlink it flickers from an arrow to a hand. This flickering is so quick and constant that it has become an annoyance and is enough to drive me back to using Safari full time. I cant figure out how to stop this. I have deleted and reinstalled a fresh copy of Firefox, but that didnt help. I tried restarting with plug ins off and that didnt stop it.

Suddenly, in firefox 21, when I am signed into my gmail account, a blue sheen covers the entire - macbook pro running os 10.8.2 - screen. When I sign out of gmail, the blue disappears.

I checked in chrome, to see whether this was a gmail issue, and in chrome it does not happen. It appears to be a firefox browser issue.

Help please.

Every time I open a new page in Firefox, I get the following error message:

Shorten-URL preferences not loaded. [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) [nsIAlertsService.showAlertNotification]" nsresult: "0x80004001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://shortenurl/content/ff-overlay.js :: shortenurl.fetchPrefs :: line 42" data: no]

When a new firefox window is first opened, the text on the tab (e.g Mozilla Firefox Start Page) and the logo to the left of it becomes misaligned, almost like the text has been 'cut in half' vertically and not placed back together accurately. The fullscreen button and the 'open a new tab' button overlap too on the top right hand side.

To get into fullscreen mode, cmd+ctrl+F have to be pressed twice. Once to get the browser back to 'normal' the way the tabs should look, with the tab texts and logo normal, and second time gets it into full screen.

This happens everytime a new window is opened. Only happens once per window.

I have attached a link to an image here via photobucket so you can see what it looks like - http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a533/RGomes11/ScreenShot2013-05-14at215321_zps5b08b7ed.png

Thankyou for your help!

when i want to choose and subscribe to an RSS feed on a webpage, the browser opens several EMPTY tabs and I cant stop it. I am not able to select a RSS feed through a website. i was able to do this before. Not sure if it is an upgrade issue or hardware or? Please helP!

I'm not sure when this started, but I've only just noticed it. The Firefox app icon in my dock has it's name spelled backwards (i.e. xoferiF). It appears normally in mission control and the applications folder but backwards on the dock. I've restarted it over and over but it stays the same. Obviously this is only a minor bug and is not affecting the app's performance in any way, but it's just wierd. I can provide a screenshot if necessary.

Every time I open Firefox I get a box showing Window and then last site I visited with a "this is embarrassing" message and telling me to close tabs. There are no tabs open, so there are no tabs to close, as I just opened it and haven't done anything yet. I tried making sure to hit "home" after I'm done and shutting down from the beginning page, but still happens. Please tell me what I can do to make it open correctly. thank you.

We have been prompted several times to update our Firefox software (19.02). When we click to update, a screen appears saying downloading is in progress, but other than rotating blue and white stripe, nothing happens. It can spin for many minutes, with no indication a connection has been made or that any download actually is in progress. There is no "allow" or "install." It doesn't get that far.

As above. Even with the "customize" window open so that icons can be moved around or deleted. I tried putting the search and address boxes next to each other but resizing is still not an option. I am using Firefox on a MacBook Air running Mountain Lion.

I set it to print URL and Title at top of the page, and Date at the bottom of the page. It attempts to do this but the print is verrry small and 1/2 off the page.

Works fine with Google Chrome.

New WF 2540 printer, test page is good. Mac 10X

Thanks for your help!

My Imac is version 10.8 snow leopard. I tried to import bookmarks from Safari to Firefox but import data from another browser is greyed out, even though private browsing is turned off. I also created an .html file for my bookmarks no problem but when I import this file to firefox, no bookmarks appear. I checked the file in a plain text editor for any folded files but none existed. Can anyone help me solve this problem. It seems the easiest solution would be if the IMPORT DATA FROM ANOTHER BROWSER button was functional. thanks.

In creating a website, I used the following player to embed .mp3 tracks so they would be playable in the page: http://www.schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager2/demo/mp3-player-button/#

In Firefox, some buttons work and some do not while in all other browsers they seem to work fine. This is truly bizarre. I have already tried: - conforming the compression settings to be the same as the ones that work - making sure the file names are lower case with no spaces -I've diddled around with the formatting and moved songs around to replace ones that DO work with the ones that aren't playing. Still no luck.

Another strange thing that is happening is that if you right click on the player, you can go to the link where the mp3 is, and it plays fine on its own.

You can view the site here: http://www.johnsimonmusic.net/test2/discography/ You can see for instance that the "intro" plays but the "sampler" doesn't. Why is this happening?

Ever since I upgraded to v20 of Firefox a problem has occurred where I will close Firefox properly (close browser and then quit application as I am on a Mac) but when I open it again I will get a message. This message is "Oh this is embarrassing..." and try to get me to reopen my tabs I had before. This will also happen if I have just one tab open and then close it. I was wondering if there is a way to fix it!
