For the last few days my Firefox does not display the downloads window. I have tried to follow the suggestion set out in Firefox Help ie Tools --> Options --> General

But my General Tab doesn't show under Downloads the option to check the box "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file". Under Downloads, the only option shows "save files to Downloads" and "Always ask me where to save files".

Any suggestions on how I can get to --> Downloads the option to check the box "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file".

Thank you in anticipation

Hello,

I really dislike the "new" 20.bla-bla-bla version of FF because of the download window that appear in library window (wtfFF) and the colorful file system icons in it. SO I want to get back my "old" 19.0.2... Is this possible in therms of the structurаl differences mentioned above in the v.20?

I know about the site where I can find the exact version I need for downgrade with, but can I just run the setup without saving any data... just like when upgrading?

Please answer my question and let me know how to downgrade 20 to 19.0.2...

Thank you very much!!!

I was just auto-upgraded to Firefox 20.0, and what had been an orderly, cascading context menu is now a flat, broken menu that's so big it scrolls off the top and bottom of my screen. The cascading submenus have been crammed into the top layer, and many of those options are now broken. Furthermore, options/menus that had been, well, context-sensitive (that is, they only appeared in certain circumstances) are now always-on. For instance, right-clicking on a link gives me the link-related options I'd expect, but it also gives me irrelevant media-control (Play, Pause, etc.) and image-related (View, Reload, Copy location) options.

Every time I want to play an MP3 that is online, a new tab opens in Firefox and the MP3 is played inside Firefox. No matter what I do: I did set MP3 to play with Windows Media Player (or Always Ask) but Firefox ignores that setting. Or with another mediaplayer, Firefox still keeps on playing it in the browser itself. I know that it has something to do with Quicktime cause when I uninstall that, MP3's are opened in the mediaplayer of my choice. But as soon when I have Quicktime (or Quicktime Lite for that matter) installed, Firefox ignores my settings and only plays it in the browser. I do need Quicktime for my music and video editing software, otherwise I would not install it. The codec alone with Quicktime Lite does the job, but also with that Firefox will not play MP3 and MP4 files with my player of choice. Same goes for MP4 files: no matter what I do, Firefox is playing it in the browser itself instead of the setting I made in the Options of Firefox to set my player of choice.

Loaded the latest version of Firefox for Android on the Kindle Fire HD & Installed. The program completed install successfully, but as soon as Firefox is started, within a few seconds the program exits.

Is there an issue with Firefox and Kindle Fire HD?

I do not want to use Chrome and the Kindle Silk browser is not very good. I have Firefox on all my machines (desktop, 2 laptops, Android phone, and (hopefully) Kindle) and want to be able to sync my bookmarks, etc. between all of them for consistent usage.

Is there a Firefox browser product that still works with Mac PowerPC G4 running OS X 10.5.8?

Has Mozilla completely abandoned Mac PowerPC G4 users? If so, can you recommender a vendor who does? The little window in top right corner probably will not work, either!
