Do disabled add-ons use resources? Would removing them completely use less resources? The reason I ask is, I have quite a number of add-ons in the disabled state that I have not removed in case I decide to reactivate/use them again. I was just wondering if having the add-ons associated with the FF software, even in their disabled state, caused Firefox to use any more resources (cpu/ram) than if they were completely removed? If it makes no difference whatsoever in ram/cpu usage if the disabled add-ons are removed or not removed, then I'll just leave them disabled and undeleted. But since my Firefox eats up more and more cpu and memory the longer I use it, I'm interested in getting rid of anything that eats resources, especially if I don't really use them.

I don't think my question is specific to my tech specs, but am using: Windows XP Pro, SP3, and Firefox 9.0.1 (which I intend to upgrade when I finish researching what version is best for me in terms of performance, but especially compatibility with my essential add-ons). Thanks for your time and attention. ~ Zorg54

Dear If i wrote the address spelling correctly then its working. But if I make any mistake its automatically redirect me to this page http://www.rujkc.com/u_11997.html. for example if i wrote http://www.aaalj.com/ its automatically redirect me to http://www.rujkc.com/u_11997.html

but at the same time I am using opera and Chrome, they are not redirecting but only Firefox.

Please help me anyone

Firefox 9.0.1 Simply Mepis squeeze Linux Experienced user When clearing Firefox history, I get Libreoffice open up the New Document page. I have no other problems whatsoever. This occurs with no add-ons installed and with installed add-ons. It does not happen every time and I wonder why. Many thanks Nicktrcat

I use software like PicPick, Desktop Hunter, Screen Hunter and WebShot to capture parts of my computer screen (images, photographs, areas of text etc), save the captured area to a file or the clipboard and then load or paste it into a program like PowerPoint, Word or Excel.

None of these programs will work when I have Firefox open. This is the case even if I'm not trying to capture anything being displayed in the Firefox web browser. It's sufficient for Firefox to be open. If Firefox is open, but minimized and I try using say PicPick to capture part of a photograph being displayed in say Ashampoo Photo Commander, then the screen goes black except for the PicPick capture half rectangle.

The same thing happens when I try and capture any part of the screen in a Firefox tab.

The screen capture Firefox add-on Lightshot doesn't work either.

The only way I can use my screen capture software is by shutting Firefox down.

I wonder if anyone else has had this problem. It's annoying that every time I want to use screen capture software, I have to shut down Firefox. It's also annoying that I can't capture images being displayed in Firefox tabs.

So I'd be very grateful to anyone who could suggest what the problem might be.

My thanks for your suggestions i advance. I very much appreciate them.

I'm running Windows XP Professional on a Dell Dimension 8400.

I would link to send out a webpage link to users, where they may not have firefox as default browser. However, this link is best supported in FIrefox. So, I have to write my code in html to force the link to open in firefox.

Is there a syntax available.

i've tried following AKO's advise, previously post on this site (http://militarycac.com/dodcerts.htm,) etc...

please help me install all needed certs, so this message stops appearing:

"Secure Connection Failed

         An error occurred during a connection to akocert.us.army.mil.

Error message: "Update could not be installed. Please make sure no other copies of Firefox running on your computer and restart Firefox again."

There are no other copies running. At least none that I know of - how do I check - and if not, what else would be the problem/how can I fix?

I need to know my user name and password please. What I wrote down doesn't work now. I've requested my user name and password be sent to my email account and not received any notices. Please help!

When I want to delete INDIVIDUAL cookies it is too easy to accidentally delete ALL cookies.

Here's what should be changed... 1) REWORD the button to the left. It now says, "Remove Cookies." It SHOULD say, "Remove SELECTED Cookie(S)." 2) There should be a WARNING box, if one hits "Remove All Cookies" by accident. Another box should pop up that says, "Are you sure you want to remove ALL cookies? (this cannot be undone)"

I hope FF reads this.

(note: Yup -- I just deleted all cookies by accident)

I was just using my computer just like any other day but then the fonts suddenly changed from the normal none-italic to italic, even this question I'm currently typing is in italics. This happened for a few days now but it's getting really irritating... Please help...

Hello,

In some pages, e.g. Twitter, and pages that load FB comments sections, I'm having problems with the certificates and the pages won't load. I don't get an option to add an exception either, therefore I cannot access pages.

I have pasted the error details below. Here is some important info for you:

Version: 9.0.1 <-- Upgrading is NOT an option, this is a corporate machine Connect via proxy: yes

I doubt very much that this is an issue with the connection, as IE and Chrome are NOT having this issue on the same connection.

Error I get:

This Connection is Untrusted

         You have asked Firefox to connect securely to twitter.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
         Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
       
       
       
         What Should I Do?
         
           If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is

trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.

          Technical Details
         twitter.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is not trusted.

(Error code: sec_error_untrusted_issuer)

Can anyone shed some light? The usual troubleshooting I've come across hasn't helped me much.

It's all in the question.

My isp is sloooow! It takes 30 minutes to restore all of my tabs fresh, when most pages are static. It's a waste of bandwidth.

I often have 50 tabs open, things I am referring back to, but do not need reloaded. How can I make firefox save this content to my cache, so when I restart the browser or computer, I can have my tabs opened again in a hurry, without having the bandwidth crushed? I restart the browser or computer several times a day, but really, do I need my wiki pages refreshed, or a map I have open, etc?

I think it's great that firefox can save my tabs, and I have a session-restore extension, but what I really need is a way to save my online content...?

Using 9.01

I keep getting a software update for security and stability for Firefox. But it is telling me that two of my add-ons are incompatible and will be disabled. Problem is, I use these add-ons on a regular basis and I need them. I don't want to risk losing them and not being able to get them back. I don't like Explorer at all, but if there is no way around this then I will have to switch back to them which will not make me happy. I really do prefer Firefox because it is by far and away a better product. However, I also need my BitComet downloader and my Divx. What should I do here?

Hi all. This is what i am trying to do but can not: Firefox/ edit/ (ok so far), no preferences/ advanced + sign/ cache/ clear cache/ exit....Not sure why i can not get passed edit. Any help would be appreciated. frosty girl
