Hello, I have this problem were whenever I try to type in something into the search or addresys bars, nothing happens. It's like the enter key isn't working. There is not usual picture next to the search bar (the one that shows you what search engine you're using. If it's google it shows a "g" next to the bar). Instead there is just a picture of a blank page as a placeholder. When I try to go in and add a new search engine by managing the search engine list, there is no option to add a new search engine. I have already tried going into the firefox folder on my computer and deleted the formhistory.sqlite file that is the supposed problem. No avail. I have even gone so far to delete and reinstall firefox to my computer. Well, that didn't work either. So I waited until the next update to see if my problem would be fixed THEN. I am currently on firefox 19.0, which is, as of writing, the most current version. I have tried restarting firefox with all addons removed. And for good measure, I deleted anything that ended with ".sqlite" in my firefox folder. I have tried to get the the about:config menu but do not know how considering how my address bar refuses to search. The greatest thing is that my address bar can still remember all the sites I've typed into it before, but for some unknown reason, cannot take me to any of them! I really don't know what to do next. I can only suppose that I could try completely deleting everything firefox has stored on my computer, as I don't know if just uninstalling the program actually did that. Other then my search bar problem, firefox has been acting fairly normally besides a few minor hiccups here and there. I am trying to remember if I downloaded anything before my search bar problems started or not, but it is always a possibility. I did download the firefox beta for windows 8 metro mode but I can't remember if that was before or after firefox started acting up. It's possible considering that softonic thought they were being really nice by including fbdownloader for free with my firefox metro browser. I am now no longer using softonic ever again. But that's all the evidence I can think up right off the tip of my head. Sorry if this was kinda long, and if any of my description isn't clear or make sense please ask and I can try to verify. Also, if I haven't said this already, my search bar is only not working in firefox. Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Safari are all working fine. Just my luck, I guess. If anyone could help me out, I'd be much obliged. Not being able to use the address bar has been really inefficient. Thank you.

initially change over from hotmail to outlook in firefox worked fine, but now I no longer can open my emails contacted MS but they could not help we have no techn. inform. concerning Firefox, finally MS suggested to install and update new brower 19.02 after installation no change still cannot open my email via firefox

Firefox freezes while playing flash videos. or mostly the video freezes. It is happening to my Firefox for quite a few weeks/months. I did not report it (not having time) and tried to find some already existing thread in support. Failed (similar topics miss the point with cursor moving or flashes importance)

There are several possible combinations of the trouble.

1) First degree of the problems manifests themselves only in videos (such as YouTubes) and they are the short twitches and stopping of the video-picture move (the sound goes on without any trouble), that is - if I am not moving and waving by the cursor. Occurrence: always, whenever there is flash video and I want to watch it I have to be moving by the mouse and annoyingly keep attention to localize the pointer inside the video window, when I do not, the motion picture does not move until I move again..

2) When I scroll down, so that the flash video is bit up or down, so that part of it is not visible on the screen it sometimes happen that the scrolling or any other action on the page is locked away. (I can not scroll). Yet I am free to reach by the mouse pointer up (down) to the video and whenever I hover over it, the screen (video picture) picks up and the scrolling starts to work immediately again. Occurrence: Often

(2b) I scrolled too far from the flash video, so it is out of the visible screen .... so I can not reach it by the mouse pointer. Subsequently, when it freezes the scrolling (and tab switching) I can only wait.)

3) Firefox stops responding as whole. It me prevents to o anything, best to restart or wait undeterminated time period before it restores itself (it happens too), sometimes the alt+tab with onother program helps to revive it. Occurrence: In some cases of the 2b) case or 2) if untreated by the pointer hovering (less often, yet few times in a day)

By now, all add-ons are disabled (except flash) and it did not help. By now the flash might not be updated, but I am sure I was updating it already few times from the moment when it started to make trouble. Not sure it might be about three months now (or four?)

I have Firefox 19 (& Windows 7), and up until this morning I was able to view & open email attachments in Yahoo! mail. This morning Yahoo Mail's layout changed somewhat and suddenly I can't find a link to open attachments. However, I can view & open them through IE 9.

I tried a previously posted solution from this forum about clearing the Firefox cache & cookies, but that has not worked. Any suggestions?

I've also posted feedback to Yahoo in hopes that a solution can be found.

I use Firefox from early beginning. Now have problem.

Download any files is SO SLOW. I have 40/4 Mbit connection, and downloading through Firefox is max 2Mbit , if I use DownThemAll , speed is multiplied by 2Mbit, so if DownThemAll divide to 4 files, my file downloading 8Mbit.

Chrome download speed of same file and same source is 10Mbit (without any accelerators). IDM Download speed - MAX 40Mbit.

I tried almost all, turning off all adddons, start in safe mode, clean registry with CCLeaner, also with TuneUp - NOTHING.

Can someone have any solution?

Today I opened Firefox to find that every single addon I had installed was gone. The extensions page was empty. The files were still where they should be on my PC, but Firefox wasn't bringing up anything. I removed them all and attempted reinstalling each addon one-by-one, but as soon as I close Firefox they all disappear again.

I've tried reinstalling Firefox multiple times. I've restarted my PC multiple times. I'm at a complete loss here. Just an hour ago everything was working fine. I have no added or removed anything on my PC that may have caused this.

In managing the files on the a website my company runs, we updated a high-res pdf for download. Firefox is not reading the transparencies correctly, and every other we browser is views them fine. There are either changing the value, or in some cases, the color the pages show up in.

Any suggestions why Firefox wouldn't be reading the transparencies in the pdfs correctly?

I've tried everything, cannot determine how it got there, how to remove. It is impossible to work within a web site with this wide side bar covering at least 2-3 inches. Is it somehow connected to Conduit search engine?

Since update to 19 (this morning), the "clear list" button on the Download Manager is greyed out and doesn't work. Also under Privacy settings, I selected "Use custom settings for history" and cannot check button to "clear history when Firefox closes." Running on Windows 7.

Only recently have i started to get this error message on youtube videos

"Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available."

I am a longtime user of Firefox, and I consider my usage advanced. (I use many add-ons and frequently use Firefox for web development debugging, etc.)

I like Firefox, except for one thing: I really must use Tab Groups, but default Tab Groups Panorama implementation is useless to me. I don't want to switch back and forth between a screen of squares visualizing bookmarks. Panorama is slow and doesn't scale well for large numbers of tab groups. (It becomes disorganized and visually disorienting quickly.)

The functionality in this add-on was absolutely perfect: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tabgroups-manager/

The add-on is no longer maintained, and given all the architectural changes in Firefox, I would think that any developer trying to keep such an add-on maintained would face daunting challenges.

I would like to have this functionality available in the default version of Firefox.

I have had no previous problems with loading Facebook until today. The page loads with text only, flush left, no graphics, and it loads very slowly.

I have deleted my cache, history, cookies. I have restarted in Firefox Safe Mode. Nothing has worked.

As far as I know I am running the latest versions of Java and Flash Player.
