HTC Evo 4G.

Using Firefox browser, if I am at a website and press "Menu" on my phone I have the "Bookmark" option. Pressing it I get "Bookmark added" message.

But then when I press "Menu", it gives me the "Bookmark" option still (i.e., add a Bookmark), but it does not show me any of the Bookmarks which I have created.

Are "Top sites" my bookmarks?

I'm ready to go back to the stock Android browser if this and one other problem cannot be resolved with Firefox.

The other issue is that I press the Firefox icon on my home screen, and the browser initializes.

The address bar says "Enter Search or Address". I press the address bar, and it now says "about:home", and the letters are white covered in orange.

But there is no keyboard.

I want to type an address in the address bar, but I cannot.

Pressing "Menu" on my phone does not give me a "Keyboard" option.

Below the address bar is listed horizontally "Top sites", "Bookmarks", and "History". But no Qwerty keyboard.

NOTE - During the time I've been typing this, a QWERTY keyboard finally appeared.


But I want to see one at once, when I press the address bar and it turns orange over the address bar writing.

Why don't I see a keyboard?

I will go back to the stock EVO browser if these problems can't be solved.


I press the address bar at the top, and it turns orange. But I do not get a keyboard. Pressing menu, I also do not get a keyboard

My old computer crashed. Fortunately I had Carbonite and was able to restore my data to a new computer, but I have not been able to import or restore or transfer my bookmarks. I went Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks/Import & Backup, then tried both "Restore." The Restore showed several dated backups but in spite of the message "This will replace all your current bookmarks" it did not. Next time around I tried: "Import Bookmarks from HTML." But I could not find where the the bookmark folder was located.

I followed the "Using the Mozilla symbol server" article in order to see symbols for Firefox in a debugger. But i still only get those "firefox.exe+1a05" entries, instead of "firefox.exe+Sleep" for example. All windows symbols work, but I never got any Firefox symbols to show up. My idea now is that the Mozilla symbol server is not up to date. Can someone help me?

I'm a fairly tech savvy person, and have been using Firefox for years. I bought a new PC and installed the Firefox browser, but each time within a day or two, sometimes multiple times a day, the layout changes to a view that sort of lists all the links on a long, horribly laid out web page. It's not specific to a particular site, but affects all of the site that I frequently visit including cnn.com, news.yahoo.com, msn.com, bbc.co.uk/news. This does not ever happen with IE or Chrome. The only settings that I've ever changed in Firefox is the default downloads folder, and the Privacy setting where I've unchecked "Remember search and form history". I've also tried not changing anything, but the problem still happens.

Resetting Firefox using Help > Troubleshooting Information > Reset Firefox always "solves" the problem, until it reappears within a day or two

I'm running FF 21.0 on a MacBook. The action in my Preferences > Applications is "Use QuickTime Plug-in 7.6.6 (in Firefox).

When I go to www.BluestoneMojo.com/videos.html and click on any of the video links, the MOV file does not display on the target page. Because the file doesn't display, I can't play the video. When I use either Chrome or Safari, the files display and play. So the problem seems to be with FF.

Windows XP Home SP3.

Until I upgraded to Firefox 21.0, my tab bar was just above the window with the other tool bars above the tab bar.

Now the tab bar appears at a different level. How can I reset it as the very lowest toolbar, the one closest to the window?

The present order of my tool bars, top to bottom, is: 1. menu tool bar; 2. tabs tool bar; 3. address tool bar; 4. bookmarks tool bar.

I want the order to be: 1. menu tool bar; 2. address tool bar; 3. bookmarks tool bar; 4. tabs tool bar.

Currently, Firefox is using ~2GB of memory on my desktop. Every click takes seconds to register. The biggest culprit is Facebook: there's a FB page that is hogging 600MB of memory. I have about 20 tabs open, but NONE of them are on Facebook. How can I convince Firefox to just **GET** **RID** OF THAT DAMN PAGE?!?!!

If I leave myself logged on to Facebook, inevitably after a few days Firefox grows to soak up all available memory. Surely, in this day and age, after a decade of work on a browser, the Firefox team would have figured out how to deliver a snappy, responsive experience?
