When I send a page to print in Firefox, it comes up as a landscape portrait - which I never use and which seldom fits the whole page. Previously, in other apps, I've got around this by changing the format in Print Preview, but there's no option to do this. It was always OK in the past - what happened?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I had downloaded a new version of Firefox (3.6.6 for Mac)

I receive this usually in facebook only. " This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location?" How can I stop this?

This happens every 5-10 minutes usually when on Facebook. If multiple windows are open this keeps you from accessing your other pages until you say yes to redirect.

Whenever I click a link, open Firefox, or open a new tab (essentially whenever the page address changes), Firefox opens two index of files of either my Firefox program folder or My Documents, a page that cannot be opened because its address contains unknown characters, and a site called ç.com. These all open in a new window and seem to backlog themselves, that is, if the window hasn't opened after going to a few pages, a few windows will pop up unexpectedly. I've run my adware and malware programs multiple times including in safe mode.

I just downloaded Firefox 3.6.6. & after restarting my computer all of the pages that I went to on the internet are now very small. I have a large monitor & had no problem with the previous version of Firefox. The web pages were all large. I know that you can click on "Ctrl +" to manually enlarge a page, but how do I adjust the settings so that all of the pages are large again? Help!!!

Getting annoyed with "Your Firefox Browser is out of date" notification that hijacks the browser page every time I open Firefox. If I wanted to update I would! I do not want to update. I want to remain on the version I have so HOW DO I STOP the annoying notification alert every time I open a browser window ...to which I have been selecting. "No thanks, I will risk it". I do not want this box popping up anymore. It seems like a bullying form of forcing something on someone.

I have Windows 7, and when I installed Firefox, almost every time I use a drop-down menu, the menu will display for a split second, but will not stay up. Drop-down menus work fine in IE, but not in Firefox. I have to use the directional arrows to select from the list of choices, and this is problematic with menus with many choices. This happens every time I use a drop-down menu, so the problem is not site- specific.
