I used to be able to visit the Especially Yours website and click on any item and not have a problem. Now no matter how I get to the website I end up with a 404 error. I've had several people try to get to it and they've had no problem. I also was able to load the site through Internet Explorer with no problem. If I click a link in an email it will initially land on the site then immediately roll to a 404 error page saying it can't find the site. I have gone through and looked at all of my security settings and have set them to allow cookies and popups for the site but still it will not load. I went directly to the site by typing in the URL and it allowed me to land on the main page. But the minute that I click on a specific item to take a closer look it allows the page to pop up and then automatically roll to the 404 error page. This has become very frustrating because I primarily use FireFox and I don't using Internet Explorer anymore.

The question says it all I think but my particular interest comes from not having a better principle (I used to have automatically common-coloured tabs but I forget how - perhaps Stylish...) of making a subset of tabs with a common theme (in this case similar-URLs) be easily re-visited. My main interest (currently) is no more complicated than grouping by URL which is crying out to be automatically maintained. Thanks.

Cookie "ask every time" feature causes some Facebook features to not work while enabled

FF 16.0.2, Windows 7 Home Premium.

Using this feature: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-and-disable-cookies-website-preferences?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Enabling+and+disabling+cookies#w_how-do-i-change-cookie-settings

I go to Facebook, and the following don't work:

  • dropping down the "notifications" menu
  • dropping down the "messages" menu
  • seeing who "liked" something by hovering over
  • the detailed list of events in top right
  • the chat feature

When I switch off the "ask" feature (by going "Remember history"), and reload FB, all of the above immediately work. When I switch to "Custom/ask" again, and reload FB, the above don't work again. It's entirely reproducible.

Is it possible to remove this 1 px space above tabs (tab bar)? http://i.imgur.com/NFply.png

What I'm trying to achieve is to find a way to either "shift" tabs more to top so that they cover that 1 px line so that when the mouse is moved to highest top of screen, tabs are being selected instead of current behavior where tabs are a bit down.

Using Linux build of Firefox on Debian with LXDE DE, Firefox being without decoration and maximized (as seen in screenshot).

Thanks.

  • Edit: I forgot to mention that when switching firefox to fullscreen more the desired behavious is achieved although the line is stil there but the tabs seletion space increases to the topmost of screen.

When I click a link, a new tab opens, but won't load the web page until I reload the tab.

This doesn't usually happen if I go to a recently visited site, but mainly on sites that I haven't visited in several hours.

My PC stays on between attempts and I keep FF open; rebooting doesn't help either.

This has been occurring since my last 2-3 FF updates.

Hi,

Recently an icon has appeared on my Add-on Bar (a blue circle with a white 'i' (like an information i)) and it leads to this website:

http://petzichen.de.gg/?ref=quicklaunch

It doesn't open anything. The main title is PEOPLEPOINT and it appears to be a German website and I have no idea where it came from, probably from something I downloaded I guess.

Anyway, this thing is in all my versions of Firefox and I want rid of it.

Any help gratefully appreciated.

Cheers, Keith

After a minor automatic update (16.0.1 --> 16.0.2), firefox is now completely unusable.

Any time I attempt to load a page, it only shows a blank tab labeled 'new tab'. The url bar for this page will be blank if I try to open it from a link or bookmakrk. The url bar for this page will be exactly what I typed if I manually typed a url. Right-clicking the blank pages does nothing: no context menu. The 'troubleshooting information' page DID load properly though; it's the only page I've been able to display at all so far.

Restarting firefox did not fix the issue. Restarting firefox in safe mode with addons disabled did NOT fix the issue -- so please don't waste time trying to tell me it's the addons. Changing network proxy settings did not fix the issue. There are no connection problems: IE can load pages just fine from the same computer.

I love mah firefox... but now it's dead... please help!
