I have tried just about everything, but I still can't stop snapdo from overriding firefox. I can't get into firefox settings to remove it as snapdo has taken it over and I cannot find a way in. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?

FF21. I have icons from several extensions showing. In customize mode, thee rightmost three are locked in place and grayed out with diagonal stripes. What does this mean? How can I free them?

I was lissening to online radio. Firefox needed to update. After the latest update the windows media player plugin dissapeared from the add-on list, while still being installed correct. I reinstalled it, but that didn't work. I replaced/deleted some files in firefox as suggested for similiar problems, but that didn't work either. Now I can't play wmp files anymore on firefox.

I hope u can help me solve this problem.

I'm a Nightly user who upgrades every day. A couple days ago after upgrading I ended up having to install a third party app that unfortunately also installed some Delta search and toolbar junk without my knowing it. I deleted all the Delta junk I could find but later discovered that when doing a Startpage search from the Nightly search bar it would now just take me to the Startpage.com home page instead of performing the search and returning results as it had always done before. I suspect the search URL for Startpage got changed either by the Nightly upgrade or the Delta junk, or something along those lines. I've tried resetting Nightly to its default state as well as removing and reinstalling the Startpage search engine but no luck. Have looked everywhere but cannot find where the Startpage search URL is stored so I can return it to normal behavior. Other search engines work as normal from the Nightly search bar. Any ideas?

I know how to added a site to the "Exceptions - Cookies" list an block the site. The problem I have is the site just changes the first part of its name/url and adds the cookie to the list. SInce the site is using a 8 digit number; it is impossible to block all the name/url it can create. Is there a way to block all the possible name/url by using a wild card symbol? Like the "*" symbol in UNIX. Example *.xxxx.xxx.com to the list of sites I wish to block?

Microsoft does not suggest using the admin profile/user as one`s main internet browsing venue, so I have made another account with limited access for security purposes. The problem is my admin account has all my Firefox bookmarks! So basically I am trying to import bookmarks from Mozilla Firefox to another? Mozilla Firefox browser on my computer! Most of your import help is form a DIFFERENT browser,Chrome, Explorer,ect ,but not from Firefox to Firefox, if you will. Does this make sense?

One page only on my website, one that contains a lot of information, when viewed in Firefox but not in any other browser, looks normal until I scroll past approximately halfway down the page, at which point all the text on the page becomes covered in what appears to be a blue background. The page content is still there but obviously can't be read because the text colours are not compatible with the background.

Ever since I upgraded to Firefox 21, Firefox stopped asking me what to do with MP3 or video files. The default action now is to play them in Firefox. I've previously set Firefox to ask what to do with these files. When I go to Applications settings, the setting I made is still there but gets ignored.

I know that I could set media.windows-media-foundation.enabled to false to disable playback for these type of files completely. That's not what I want. I want to be able to play these files in HTML5 audio and video tags.

Windows 7

Firefox 21.0

Hello,

Since installing FF 21.0 I have been encountering many screen freezes.

I never receive an error message.

Complete loss of control: no mouse functionality, ESC button will not clear the freeze.

I am experiencing 5-10 of these freezes every day. They seem to self-clear in 60 to 240 seconds. Alternatively, I can reboot the computer. Either way, it is a hassle.

Anyone else having this problem?

Any way to solve the problem?

Thanks very much for your help!

Regards,

Bob

I tried to hear a conference call on a website. Got a message, needed windows media plug in. Checked my plug ins, no windows media. Read tutorial on firefox support. Clicked on download. Got a window that asked for repair or change. Tried repair, then change. Need better directions on how to finish download. Got message download successful, but after closing firefox and reopening, still no plug in for windows media in list of plug ins. Went to site and could not hear conference. Read support forum. Message about using about:config. Tried this, typed in about: config in start menu, but didn't see anything that looked like I could change to true like message said. solved by opening internet explorer and going to website and listening to conference call on windows media player. There was a message saying click here if you want to enable media player. Did so, heard conference. Tried using chrome. Got to hear conference yesterday. Today, there was same message about needing plug in when I tried to follow instructions to get plug in, it was as confusing and useless as firefox. The bottom line is I tried to do everything set forth in firefox's forum suggestions and can't get the windown media plug in to show up in my list of plug ins and can't hear conference calls on firefox. Chrome did say they were working on getting plug in available at chrome store. I agree with comments that I was able to go to web sites and hear calls before firefox made an update that removed my windows media plug in. The simple download fix, presumeably from windows, does not work, apparently because firefox can't find the fix. That is not the user's fault, and it looks like windows tried to provide a fix, and firefox won't recognize it. Bottom line, it is easier to use another browser, than try and get the windows media player plug in installed on firefox. What good is a browser, if you can't hear a call on the website that the browser takes you to? Please make it easy to install the windows media plug in on firefox. Thank you..

Yesterday I noticed that my mouse wheel no longer scrolls from anywhere on a web page. On some pages it works well but not on others. It's almost as if it hits a blind spot and will no longer scroll. If I move the pointer onto the scroll bar, or near the margin, it usually works there. If I move to a different web page it may work differently. It seems as if the formatting of the page determines whether or not it will scroll. It was not like this two days ago. It's frustrating when you move the wheel and expect the page to scroll and it doesn't. If I restart FF in safe mode the mouse wheel scrolls properly.

Firefox suddenly has become very slow. It takes too much time to load all websites and even the typed words and scrolling has a great delay in appearing. It becomes unresponsive very often. I tried reinstalling it and even reset it. Its becoming a pain to use this to surf the net. Please do help!!

In newer versions of FF the bookmarks toolbar is off by default, as described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-firefox-controls-buttons-and-toolbars?esab=a&as=aaq

I know how to re-enable it manually, which I have to do every single time I start FF. How can I change the default to "on"?

Every time when I start Firefox (FF) I receive a message about opening an application/octet-stream. Asking whether I want to open it or save it. If I don't respond (which is what I do) a few moment later I receive a message about not being able te save a file. If I respond to this with [OK] both messages disapear and I can go on using FF. Screendumps of these messages can be seen here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2395780/ifr.jpg

These messages don't limit FF. Or make it impossible to work with FF. They are just annoying. How can I prevent these messages from still appearing?

Thank you so much for your assistance Kind regards....

Hi All,

I have followed the instruction on backing up / restoring firefox profile.

But when i do copy everything from the old profile into the new profile whilst firefox is closed and when i do open firefox. Nothing changes, i don't see my bookmarks or anything else. I have tried to delete the new profile and creating another new one but that doesn't help, also tried the troubleshooting information and reset firefox but still no help
