How do I view an email message source? Someone sent me an email showing my email as the sender. If I try to block the sender I am afraid I will be blocking myself. I am also afraid that whoever sent that email will send to all of the email addresses in my address book. the people I know will think that the email came from me when it came from someone using my address I.D. How or what should I do?

I upgraded to firefox 17.0.3 from 10.0.1 as root. Now, when I start firefox as root, it runs v.17.0.3, but my normal user accounts run v.10.0.1. I am not using profiles and can find only one version of the binary on my system (/usr/bin/firefox & /usr/lib/firefox/firefox) under all accounts I did a reset of my profiles, and even deleted the whole .mozilla directory under home dir, but still no luck

I placed a new bookmark into the unsorted bookmarks of the FireFox browser. I would like to make it a desktop icon that, when pushed, would go right to that particular website. Possible, or not? THANKS!

I have a gateway NV53A laptop. My homepage has always been http://www.yahoo.com/?ilc=1. Suddenly about 2 days ago, it started coming up as Mozilla.org and no matter what I do it will not stay as the yahoo.com homepage. I have followed every one of the directions listed for people who had the same kind of problem and it will fix it until I shut down or restart the computer. If I have to just get rid of Mozilla I will do that because I have now spent 2 days on this and I'm sick of it. I have done the thing with the preferences, the thing with setting up your homepage, the thing with getting rid of the pref.js and it just comes back and it still goes to firefox. I have right clicked the pref tab and it isn't locked. So if you can help me then that would be great but I have just about decided it is a lost cause.

I have been receiving the error "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at..." for a URL that works fine in Firefox on a Windows 2000 PC Cable connected to the router but the Firefox on the Windows XP PC Wireless connected gives the error for the same router.

McAfee Firewall 'Net Guard' on the XP PC was the issue. I changed Action - 'Block' to 'Allow' for the IP address and now both PCs can access the site.

I hav downloaded firefox's different versions frm different sites including official, but getting the same problem again n again that is "file is Corrupt" ? using win7. help

I'm about ready to bail on FF. Sites with Flowplayer won't work, disabling Real Player add-on didn't help. Pics on other sites won't load if you go into the galleries. Thumbnails seem to be fine, but go deeper and nothing whatsoever. I've tried disabling add-ons, safe mode, adding sites to allow lists (not that any are on a don't view list as far as I can tell), and basically running it free of an encumbrance of anything, and still NADA! ARGH!

This is ridiculous that every other browser works fine, add-ons and all, Real Player downloader works just fine, etc etc. But FF seems to be getting more and more prone to failure at every little conflict or who knows what.

I reinstalled firefox recently and now every time I click a link it opens in a new tab instead of in the same tab. I would rather change it so it opens in a new tab only if I tell it to but for some reason that option is no longer in the options tab. How do I disable this function in the newer firefox?

I've seen a few posts about the AVG 2012 Search, but none match what I'm looking for.

My homepage is set to google.ca, and my quick search toolbar is set to google as well with all other search engines removed.

I didn't have this problem before until yesterday when I formatted my computer and re-installed everything.

If I type in the address bar terms to search, hit enter, it use to come up with a Google results page. Now when I type up there, hit enter I get an AVG secure search page powered by Google, and the address bar icon changes from a Google logo to AVG.

Only if I type in the address bar. When I open a new tab the cursor always defaults into the address window not the google search page so, always forget to click into the google page and type. In any case, if I search with the google search bar or on the google webpage it's fine, it's just if I type in the address bar and hit enter that I get this http://isearch.avg.com page.

Anyway to switch it back to google?

On YouTube and other Flash based video sites, Flash drops a huge number of frames, making playback very choppy even with the smallest resolution (360, 480). This doesn't happen with IE, not even while using the highest resolution (720, 1080) available. I know my computer is more than powerful enough to play back full HD, even without hardware acceleration. Is this Firefox's fault or Flashes and is there anything I can do about it?

Was having script errors using IE8. SmugMug recommended I try Firefox. The script errors have stopped, but is very slow to respond to clicks compared to IE8.

On a screen that has pick lists. In IE8 they open fully imediatley. But in Firefox the response is very slow and the pick lists open almost in a jerky fashion.

Also when starting Firefox for the first time I was offered and accepted the option to import IE's bookmarks and such. I let it run for 20 min. then a script error dialog box came up:

Warning: Unresponsive script A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete. Script:resource:///components/nsPlacesExpiration.js:632

I elected to Stop it. It importing continued until Firefox came up. But guess what; no IE Bookmarks were imported. I have a barebones, no addons Firefox running. And like I said, it is very, very slow.

Somehow, the menu bars on FIrefox have gone transparent. They were fine. I was trying to type something and think I hit a key wrong or something and the menu bar turned transparent. It's extremely ugly and distracting. How do I change it back ? It used to be white.

Hello,

I usually print web pages with a very small font (using the print preview function with a zoom of around 40%). The problem is that the relatively small letters which were printed don't look very smooth or of high quality. They look rathr poor.

However, I have a post-script laster printer (Lexmark E450 DN), and if I print PDF-files with Adobe Acrobat with a very small font the letters look very nice and smooth.

If I wouldn't know it better it would seem to me that the file which firefox sends to the printer is not a postscript file, because if it would be a proper postscript file then my printer would print the file with the best quality.

Can anyone help me?

I look forward to your answers, Vilietha

Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4g (aka "Galaxy S 1.5") with Gingerbread.

While it is the active application, Firefox seems to be using reasonable amounts of CPU. If it is not active, though, it constantly uses 10-40%, until it gets background killed, which obviously eats through the battery.

This happens with Sync disabled.

Is there anything I can do about this, aside from file a bug and wait for v11?

when I go to the File menu and use the keyboard shortcut to save as firefox closes, I believe the error is reported by the shortcut menu. WinXP32, Firefox10.0.1, Brazilian Portuguese.
