Hi, after updating to Java 7 update 10 Java stopped working. Plug in checker indicates Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.100.18 is installed correctly, but Java test page says plugin needed and Java Runtime Environment 1.7 u10 is available. Install fails. Uninstalled Java and tried manual install (including as administrator) but no resolution. All old Java versions have been uninstalled. Thank you for your time.

I have problem loading Java related websites after an upgrade to the latest version of Firefox 17.0

Some pages, keep asking me to enable "Javascript". Under preferences, "Enabled Javascript" is already being checked, yet the websites still will not load.

Java is already updated.

I do not have this issues before the upgrade, and all along it is working fine.

Missing options of "Enter Private Browsing" "Open new tab" and "Open new window" when right click (right context menu) firefox icon on taskbar.

i already tired complete uninstall and reinstall, but the options are still missing. print scr: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/9znkp

Thank You in advance for help. Best regards

New machine, set up Firefox - only I'm now unable to have the tabs where I want.

What is the matter with you people? The simple option of having tabs BELOW the navigation toolbar is taken away. We’re told of the ‘benefits’ of having tabs on top. But like crass Windows developers, those at Mozilla take one step forward then two steps back, and don't give the user a choice. The whole point of using Firefox is the ability to customise – I suggest you don’t lose sight of this fact!

I’ve read this piece: http://www.ghacks.net/2012/07/26/mozilla-tabs-on-bottom-feature-needs-to-go/

Quote: "You may wonder why Mozilla is making the change. According to Frank Yan, it is because of ‘maintenance costs and usability concerns in relation to current and future UI'"

Maintenance costs? Pfff!

Hi my computer is infected with the browser hijacker called claro-search. I've done some research on it and have tried many fixes but it still keeps coming back.

What I've tried: Adware Cleaner Malware bytes Restarting in safe mode going to about:config and typing in claro-search then clicking reset to the search results. Troubleshooting information and resetting Firefox Going to the Profile folder under troubleshooting information and deleting the chromeappsstore.sqlite file

Does anyone have other suggestions as to what i should do?

Yahoo search engine seems to have imposed itself as default search engine whenever I open a new tab or use the small search pane on top right of screen. Is this a Firefox default setting and, if not, how can I switch it off?

Middle click suddenly stopped opening new tabs when links are clicked on. I was running 16, but updated to 17 (latest) to try to fix the problem. I am using a Logitech mouse and keyboard. Worked until this week.

I really need this working again.

When downloading with the "always ask which folder to download to" option, Firefox used to download by default to the last folder used for download, now it seems to choose at random from any folder which is unpredictable and causes delay and incorrect download patterns. How can I return to the previous, consistent and helpful option of downloading to the last folder used by default unless i choose another folder please?

Hi somehow sweetpacks decided to get on my computer I have tried removing it but am unsuccessful. I have firefox as my home page but when I type in something it goes to sweetpacks. I can't find anywhere on my computer to remove it. Please can anyone help it is so annoying. Brad

Java Deployment Toolkit shows up but not Java(TM) Runtime!

I installed a fresh copy of Mozilla Firefox and a the latest 64 and 32-bit versions of the latest Java then restarted my PC. When I run Java programs on my browser it says that I have a missing plugin...

It used to work before with the same version of Firefox but with the older Java.

I try to change the default search engine in the search bar (to Google) by following your instructions, including by deleting all the other available options, but every time I re-open Firefox, all the other search engines have re-appeared and the default engine is Yahoo, not Google.

This error message just started with the lastest upgrade that was downloaded. What is the problem ? And how do I fix/stop the problem ?

I'm on linux system (OpenSUSE 12.1) running firefox 17 trying to get a java web site to work for me. I believe that I use a plugin to achieve this so on searching for a plugin I get offered Java Console 5.0.12 I accept the terms and conditions and firefox starts to download but immediately reports that there was an error downloading try again. Not sure how to get this working as it's been like this for days.

Am I trying to install the wrong version? It's the one Firefox offers me.

just installed FF 18.0 on Linux (Centos 5.8) where 17.0.1 has been running fine.

I always install in a local (to my login) directory, and have a desktop launcher to start it. I download each .tar.bz2 FF package to a subdir, where I unpack it, overwriting whatever was already in the firefox directory in that location.

doing that, I get the error above. so I renamed the directory and did a fresh extraction into the firefox directory that tar creates when unpacking the archive. SAME PROBLEM.

moving that directory aside and re-extracting the 17.0.1 archive yields a working Firefox.

What can I do to solve this problem?

the troubleshooting info below came from FF 17.0.1, since FF18.0 doesn't work.

I've gotten the font size of the tabs and menu bars and buttons too large, in both firefox and thunderbird, and can't figure how I did it or how to shrink them to the right size. This is not the websites I'm talkling about, but how the program displays are sized. I've gone over and over the menus and options and can't find the adjustments.
