MAC OX 10.8.3 Firefox 21

The the website cnnsi.com http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/mlb/gameflash/2013/05/14/48008/index.html#recap

The scores of baseball games are shown across the top. Normally when I click on the scores of a game a page is opened and I can read the recap of the game or game summary. But since three days it just shows black screen with text LOADING...... and the page never loads.

I tried the same link in SAFARI and it works just fine.

What is the fix , please??? Thanks RB

After my laptop crashed, I am attempting to retrieve my bookmarks off my old hard drive (which is now an external). Nowhere in any of the package contents or folder locations are there any of the file types mentioned in other articles (.json, .sqlite), and the only profile information I can access leads me to a blank backup which was just created as I opened firefox for the first time. There are no visible backups of my bookmarks ever being automatically saved, as suggested. So, after wasting a large portion of my time trying to do what should be the simplest of procedures, where are the old bookmarks supposedly stored?

I recently updated to Firefox 20.0 and noticed that the native Inspect Element tool doesn't have an option to display the page css elements along the right-side of the window like it used to. Is there a button somewhere I'm missing that allows this view?

I also noticed that I cannot hit escape to exit the inspector anymore. Why would this option have been removed?

Screenshot of the issue explained a little better... http://exceptionalsheet.com/error.jpg

Where do you report a genuine Firefox Bug when using Gmail?

There is a problem with links in email newsletters.

In Firefox (MAC), i would have a link which goes to:

http://rundown.com/link?article_id=6257&origin_id=21560&origin_type=CopyBlock&source=email&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbs.serving-sys.com%2FBurstingPipe%2FadServer.bs%3Fcn%3Dtf%26c%3D20%26mc%3Dclick%26pli%3D6859770%26PluID%3D0%26ord%3D[timestamp]&user_email=stoli007@gmail.com

which renders as a blank page.

In Safari (mac), it properly routes to the final page.

I'm running FF 20.2 on Mac OS X 10.8.3. I recently found that item in drop-down menu cannot be selected by clicking, although it can be selected by hitting "enter" on keyboard. I have no add-ons installed so that shouldn't be the problem. Like go to http://www.newegg.com/ and click search menu, I can't select any options. Thanks for your help in advance.

Using Firefox version 19.0.2 on MAC. Appears message: "Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party. Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?" In preferences there is no option to choose what warning messages display or not display. Through about:config tried to change security.warn is set to 'false' by default; security.warn_viewing_mixed - too set by default to 'false'.

Hi,

I'm trying to make my firefox setting to achieve the following behavior (both at the same time), but in vain:

- Show search result in the same tab (the one currently focused/shown) when I search from the search bar.

- Show search result in a new tab only when I search from the context menu, i. e. selecting some text in a page and then right clicking to choose "Search Google for [some text]".

Is there any way to do this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I am on a MAC. I had my LIBRARY window open because I use it daily, mostly for bookmarks.

I wanted to delete some specific history links in the large window (with columns like Name and Location, Visit Date etc). I did not notice that the highlighted place was in the left toolbar under History so I accidentally deleted HISTORY--- Today, Yesterday and ALL of April. This is a business computer and this is a BIG problem. I tried several times under Edit to hit UNDO but it did nothing.

Why would Firefox not have some warning box to tell you you are about to delete a large amount of info? And why is it not reversible?

Also I am on my computer EVERY day for hours and the most recent bookmark backup point was today AFTER the large deletion of info mentioned above. And then the next previous one was April 23. So 2 more questions-- 1--why has it not auto backed up in almost 10 days? I don't do any manual backups. 2--does this restore point also restore history?

A pop up window on ebay does not show correctly in Firefox. It shows correctly (fully displaying all information) in Safari and Chrome.

I reset Firefox, still same issue.

The weird thing is, it displays properly in Safe Mode.

I noticed that once the pop up window is open and if I scroll down to hide the pop up window either on top or the bottom of the screen, and then scroll back to display the popped up window, IT DISPLAYS ALL CONTENT PROPERLY! If I only scroll up or down to hide HALF the popped up window, it will literally only show half the content that was hidden from view for a second and the rest of the content in the pop up window does not show ALL the contents.

I can't figure out what is causing this. There are no extensions installed. I tried disabling ALL the plug-ins. Same issue.

Any ideas what is causing this?

Whenever I start Firefox I get the following message:

"Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page. You can try: "Removing one or more tabs that you think may be causing the problem "Starting an entirely new browsing session"

Problem persists when relaunching FF in safe mode. Problem is temporarily solved by resetting FF, but repeats and persists after navigating to any page (such as wikipedia.org), closing all tabs, quitting FF, and relaunching FF. FF pref "When FF Starts" is set to home page by default, and FF home page is set to Mozilla FF start page by default. Changing this pref "Show Blank Page" has no effect on the behavior.

Mac OS System Pref "Close windows when quitting an app" is ticked (by default). Unticking this box does not change this FF error.
