I can see a list of downloaded files but no information on the source for the download (from where it was downloaded). I can right click and copy the link, but cant see it unless I actually paste it somehwere. When I click on the file in the list - nothing happens. That is because the file has been deleted but you cant see this information either. What is that download list good for ?

If I want to contact a supplier to complain about a problem with his goods, on his website I find a form "Contact Us". This form usually has mandatory lines for my name, e-mail, address, phone number, etc.which must be filled out. Then the subject matter is supposed to be typed up in the space provided on the Form.

Many times such a Form suddenly disappears from the screen, before my typing is complete. Some of such disappearances are triggered by hitting the "Return" on the keyboard, when I want to start a paragraph. Obviously such a website is set up to understand this button only as "Enter" (because there is no proper "SENT" button) and thus sends the form up line uncompleted.

In any case, it suddenly disappears from my computer. The recipient will have no idea what the incomplete form is really about, and thus will not respond. What is really troubling is that when I go to my FF History and reload the form, or reload from the back-button, the form will only re-appear totally empty, and all my previous typing on the same form is lost.

Is there a way to set FF Preferences to prevent the disappearance of the completed content?

If not, there should be, both to stop the whole thing from happening over and over again, and secondly to provide an e-mail like record of what comment was sent by me.

MacbookAir/Mac 10.8.3/ Firefox 21.0

Alright so this may seem like a trivial issue but for someone who is trying to maximize workspace, it may be helpful. Is there a way to nudge a toolbar over and move the sidebar up to take its place? For example, the web developer toolbar in compact mode leaves 70% of the rest of the allotted space empty. Can I use that space for anything? Is there a way I can make the toolbar right justified and move the bookmark sidebar up the 30 or so pixels to fill that space? I can provide pictures if need be.

Here is the error message:

[JavaScript Application]

evalInSandbox:Error: Premission denied for <https://www.facebook.com> to create wrapper for object of class UnnamedClass

The message pops up multiple times whenever I reload certain pages.

The problem does not happen in Safari or Chrome.

I've restarted Firefox but it does not help.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to make the error stop.

Thanks!

For some reason Google Earth has stopped working in Firefox, and I get a note that I have to download the plug in. (It works fine in Chrome and Safari.)

I followed the 'solution' in the forum without any success.

When I search for "Google Earth Browser plugin" in Finder, I find SEVEN matching that search under "Kind" in Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plugins . . .but that "Kind" is associated with plugins that are "Named" something else - e.g., Adobe, DivX, Flash, Flip4Mac, etc. (Weird).

I reply to an email and when I go to send, nothing happens. I have to refresh to make it work. I have learned to copy the text before I refresh, or I will loose some of it. Don't have this problem with other browsers.

I have the problem when I have to force quit. I also have the pinwheel for no apparent reason and have to wait until it stops to do anything. It is frustrating as it does not happen in Safari. I like to use Firefox but it is getting very annoying. I have the pinwheel pop up when I am even typing. I tried your suggestions about starting it up in safe mode and that doesn't seem to work.

I am having trouble getting Java to work in Firefox (Opera too) on Mac. http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre tells me "We are unable to verify if Java is currently installed and enabled in your browser." Notice that when I access the page, Firefox wants me to activate Java in a pop-up. I did this.

I know that Java is installed because I can open the Java Control Panel. The setting "Enable Java content in the browser" is checked and Security Level is set to High. I have tried setting the security level to a lower setting, but that doesn't help.

I have verified that the Java plugin is enabled. I have tried clearing Java cache via the control panel - no luck.

I realise that Apple has blocked Java according to this article: http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/01/31/apple-again-blocks-latest-version-of-java-through-os-x-anti-malware-system. I have been able to get Java to work with Safari (this doesn't help for Firefox) by editing the file /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.meta.plist, but that is only a temporary solution, as it shouldn't be necessary to do this edit.

When I click on a link and the underlying URL contains punctuation, specifically an apostrophe, I get a page not found error. Both Safari and Chrome handle these URLs seamlessly.

When I have my dock set to the left-hand side of my screen, Firefox maximizes to all but a small sliver of space on the left hand side. Is there a way to change the default maximized window parameters (in about:config or something), or is there an add-on that will allow you to do it?

I use Google docs. In Chrome, when I hit print, it brings up a window with all the printing options. In Firefox, when it hit print, it tries download it to my computer. How can I bring up the print options in my browser? Thanks!

The built in PDF viewer (pdfjs) is a nice tool, but I'd like to set preferences for it so that:

1) `Page Width' is the default view 2) The sidebar is turned on by default 3) The sidebar shows `Document outline', not `Thumbnails'

Anybody knows whether and how this can be done?

TIA,

Guivho.

This has happened three times in the past two months, twice when I was opening a new tab and once when I was refreshing a tab. Firefox freezes (spinning wheel), and won't force quit when I try from the dock or from the Force Quit menu or the Activity Monitor, and it will actually freeze the Force Quit Menu and Activity Monitor as well, as well as any other program I try to quit or force quit at the time. I tried to open Terminal to kill the process, but although it's able to open up, it wouldn't give me the command line.

To clarify: I can open other programs during this time but they vary in responsiveness. I played around the third time this happened; I wanted to see if I could wait it out, because Firefox did automatically quit after two minutes or so the second time this happened, but no such luck the first or third time. I ended up having to force shut down (shut down by menu would not work).

Hi Every time I open a PDF invoice in the built in PDF viewer - in Firefox Mac - I have to resize the the window and zoom the page to see what's on it. Is there a way to set a default window size that suits me better?

I can view a page regularly, like everything is normal until i go to log in. I get a blank page as soon as the page loads, and this happens to many websites. Ive tried searching in safemode, editing my firewall settings, removing cookies, disabling plug-ins, clearing history/cache, but i've had no luck so far. Anyone have any solutions ? I notice that every page i load includes ".php" in the URL bar. Thanks in advance

Despite making sure I have the current Silverlight update installed, I've been having repeated trouble trying to view videos on Mac OS Lion. The crashes consistently happen whenever a link to a Silverlight video is clicked. Crash ID is bp-caa5b831-2464-47a6-9c0a-09f112130513.

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 have a very annoying problem with a website that I have uploaded to a hosting server. When I try to view php pages with Firefox in Windows from the server all it says in the browser is "The system cannot find the file specified.". It had been working for years before this and I have not changed anything on the server.

When I use the same link in Internet Explorer, it will load the page. I cleared the IE cache to make sure that IE was not storing it somehow as well and it still worked fine on IE.

It works fine in Firefox 21.0 on Windows XP but fails on Firefox 21.0 on Windows 7. In both cases we have Flash version 11 installed.

I have tried googling that error message but it seems to usually be related to windows files missing etc. and I couldn't not find anything specifically to do with Firefox not loading a page.
