http://search.youtubedownloader.org/?f=# keeps replacing active pages, when on another tab, opening a new tab or refreshing. Have looked through Addons but nothing stands out. If a webpage has been replaced using the back button listing only 'Custom Search' is available. Please advise on stopping this very annoying problem.

On Firefox 4, how can I put one "new tab" on the "tab bar" (The + sign) and one next to the "back/forward" buttons (as in FF 3.6)?

In my current Firefox, the "new tab" icon/item from the "customize" pop-up window menu of items is placed next to my home, back, forward buttons near the top-left of my header (Button 1 for "new tab"). Then, the tab bar automatically come with a small tab (with a + sign) to the right of your last tab opened (so you click on + and a new tab opens. Button 2 for "new tab"). I like to have this "new tab" button twice (as a + mini tab, and next to my "home icon".

When I upgraded to Firefox 4, I seemed to be only able to "customize" or use the "new tab" in one place. Either as an icon next to home button, or as a "+ minitab", but NOT both.

What can I do to put this button in Firefox 4 on BOTH places???

Your help is really appreciated. I want to upgrade, but I want my buttons on both places...

I upgraded to FF 4, but downgraded again just because this feature... that's just me of coarse :-)

Is there a way to force Firefox 4 to offer to remember and to remember user ids and passwords for sites that use the autocomplete mechanism to block such offers and rememberings?

locked by a moderator on 2-7-2012 - has outlived its usefulness

In Firefox 3.6.16 (and presumably other earlier versions) one could force FF to offer to remember user ids and passwords for many sites by editing the file ...\Mozilla Firefox\components \nsLoginManager.js to ignore site- requested autocomplete disabling (_isAutocompleteDisabled returns false).

FireFox 4 does not use that file or any similar that I was able to find.

Can the result (FF ignores site attemps to turn off autocomplete) be achieved in some other way or by editing some other file?

This doesn't happen on every single page, but VERY often when a new page loads (ie: gmail, Facbook login...) as soon as it is done loading i hear a loud high pitched sound. Far too often. It almost seems connected with the other problem Im having. When I get to a log in screen, the login box is filled at the same time as the sound, but the other annoying thing is to get rid of the pre-filled info (says enter login name, or enter phone #...) I have to double click and delete it. I know that is small, but with both issues all the time it really drives a guy nuts and slows down work.

I installed FF4 when the final version was released, and, like many other users, i find the new UI very frustrating.

I managed to deal with the tabs, the menu and the status bar. But i can't cope with the navigation bar. Not only i want to rearrange the buttons to make them ordered like before, but also i'd like to see them look like before. Not these Chrome/Safari-like one-color buttons, but the pretty blue-ish buttons i have in FF 3.6.x. Also, i'd like to have 'Reload' and 'Stop' buttons separated, as they were before.

So, is there a way to make FF4 look like i want it to, or the only way is to stay on FF3.6 (which i already reverted to)?

Thanks

PS: all this is about the Windows Vista version, since i hardly know how FF looks on another OS'es.

I am a frequent user of BBC radio via the net. The BBC has re-vamped its player and this afternoon [01 04 11] I tried listening to Radio 7 and then Radio 4 to check. The listening panel showed up but there was no sound either on listen live or on 'listen again'. I am now listening to R7 live via Safari.

I have not had problems before with Firefox and the BBC

or Gameday (including Box and Wrap): http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2011_04_02_sdnmlb_slnmlb_1&mode=gameday

I get the page's header but then the rest of the page is blank. I asked MLB.com and they instructed me to clear my cache, which I did but that did not help. All of my plugins are up to date as of today (something else I checked), so I am not sure why I am having this problem. I have been able to use these in the past.
