In Firefox 21 for Mac OS, there is no longer any preview image, which is usually a little screenshot of the left end of the toolbar, shown for a theme when you click the "More" link to get more information about the theme. The only image there now is the theme icon. Where did that preview go and why is it gone? The preview images are still in the .jar files in all the themes I have, so they are still available.

Do disabled add-ons use resources? Would removing them completely use less resources? The reason I ask is, I have quite a number of add-ons in the disabled state that I have not removed in case I decide to reactivate/use them again. I was just wondering if having the add-ons associated with the FF software, even in their disabled state, caused Firefox to use any more resources (cpu/ram) than if they were completely removed? If it makes no difference whatsoever in ram/cpu usage if the disabled add-ons are removed or not removed, then I'll just leave them disabled and undeleted. But since my Firefox eats up more and more cpu and memory the longer I use it, I'm interested in getting rid of anything that eats resources, especially if I don't really use them.

I don't think my question is specific to my tech specs, but am using: Windows XP Pro, SP3, and Firefox 9.0.1 (which I intend to upgrade when I finish researching what version is best for me in terms of performance, but especially compatibility with my essential add-ons). Thanks for your time and attention. ~ Zorg54

I need FF on Linux basis for kiosk with tuchscreen. So it should start automatically from command line (console) in fullscreen mode without window, menu, tabs, adress line and side ruler. I guess I may configure it in some conf file and use some options in command line, but where can I find the full list of options and conf file description?

The printer was working fine. Suddenly that changed. Now when I print, the print is huge and a large part of the text is cut off. I tried reducing the size of the font but that did not help. This had happened to me before about a year ago and I tried different things with firefox and was finally able to fix it. However, this time I have tried all your troubleshooting tips and nothing works. The print function was working normally up to a couple of days ago and to the best of our knowledge neither my husband and I have made any changes to the settings.

I would like to change the background colour of the 'about' pages to #EFEFEF or a named colour if such code cannot be used and, if possible, the font colour as well. The white background is my main focus.

I am hopeful that the colour(s) can be changed using the userChrome.css file.

I have been unable to find an answer to the specific question or any source providing a comprehensive list of element and attribute names.

I am using Firefox 20.0.1 on a Linux operating system.

Hi, I'm using the latest Firefox for Android browser on a Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch. I have an issue when I download an image from a website onto my phone. After I download the image onto my phone by holding my finger on the image and selecting save image, it downloads it into my gallery, but I'm unable to share the image in a text or to Facebook or anything. It just comes up with a prompt that says "no applications to share image". I've never had this issue after downloading images using the phone's native browser, but I prefer the Firefox app to that. Is there a way to fix this, is it a bug, or is it supposed to do that? Thank you.
