For some websites with sensitive content it is very annoying that it is possible in firefox to restore the previous sessions after firefox crashes.
The default-setting for this firefox-feature in about:config and then browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash is true.
This can cause a security break when a user log into a website with sensitive content and then firefox crashes and the user leave the pc. If then an other user starts firefox again on this pc firefox will aks if he want to restore the previous sessions. When this other user click "restore the previous sessions" he will have the authorized session of this website with sensitive content of the first user!
=> So the question is if there is a possibility to override the firefox-setting "Restore previous session" on the server side.
How to get Firefox to follow an anchor fragment in XSLT stylesheet generated HTML

I have an XML file that is being transformed to HTML at load time by the browser via an XSLT stylesheet - something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="transform.xsl" title="example" type="text/xsl"/>
<foo>
<bar baz="1">Hello</bar>
<bar baz="2">my name is</bar>
<bar baz="3">Inigo Montoya</bar>
</foo>
The XML gets converted into HTML via the stylesheet, something like this:
<html>
<head/>
<body>
<div class="bar" id="1">Hello</div>
<div class="bar" id="2">my name is</div>
<div class="bar" id="3">Inigo Montoya</div>
</body>
</html>
The transform runs just fine, the HTML generates and is displayed, BUT: If I give the browser a url like:
file:///tmp/foo.xml#2
while the browser renders the file fine, it does NOT move the viewport to the selected div (assuming the generated HTML is larger than a screenfull, naturally). I've also tried adding <a name="2"/> and <a id="2"/> elements to the generated HTML as well, with no observed change.

While navigating through numerous flash features which navigates to another website, if I was to use the Back button inside firefox it causes the flash features to stop working. If I reload the page the issues go away, also if i click outside the flash player window and click back in the issues go away as well. Most resources i find point to it being an issue with the bfcache, and I was wondering if there was any work a rounds or code snippets to use that would fix the issue.

I'm sure there are many who like this new sub menu for web developer, but for me it's a waste of time. Is there an option to allow me to move the contents of "Tools->Web developer" back into tools? It would save me time and, I might actually start liking a firefox vision other than 3.6.. Thanks

I just updated to 10.0.9, and now the Google search feature using the Search Box no longer works. Every time I get a Google 404 error that says "404. That’s an error.The requested URL /cse?cx=partner-pub-3540673482024757%3Ac8hkjv-9xef&q=testing&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t was not found on this server. That’s all we know."
Infuriating! I've tried other suggestions on the forums, like clearing my Cache and Cookies, using the about:config and keyword.URL (but the Refresh option is greyed out) - nada! Any other suggestions would be most welcome :)

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and Firefox ESR 10.0.9 installed but the file association is not working. For example, the history window when the download request to open the folder nautilus does not start. Pdf files, jpg and others are not open with their applications.
The 16.0.1 version of Firefox installed by default works perfectly.

I think these are some bugs occur at least in windows...
1. There is no warning when trying to close 2 or more tabs.
2. It is not possible to deactivate the automatic update. After restarting firefox it is set to automatic update again.
3. You can not have a blank page, it is always set to "my home page" and the search engine in the middle of the page doesn't work at all.
The bugs occur only if you are running firefox as an administrator and not using it as a standard user in windows operating systems.
I have recently downgraded from firefox 16.0.1 to firefox 10esr because the firefox rapid releases cause only problems and are no longer reliable and now I discover another kinds of problems...
