Hello,

I need a bookmark setup like I had in IE. A side panel with a scroll arrow if possible.
I am running Windows 7 on a new computer with cable.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you,

Jim Franchetto

I have only updated Aurora, that is the only change I have recently made and all of a sudden when searching in the URL bar, which usually searches using Google, it searches Amazon for anything I enter. How has this happened and how do I get rid of it?!

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.

There is no (three dot) menu button in the top right beside the tab; the hardware button menu (bottom left button) shows only a forward button. Running Firefox 21.0 on Android 4.1.2 Samsung SGHI547c.

So I would like to be able to hit a "save now" button and have my current session be saved within my mozilla account. Is this possible?

In the past I have closed Mozilla with restore previous session active, but it has not saved my session. I would like a way to recover me seesion if this happens.

Thanks, J.

I have various browsing sessions, one is for email, one for studies etc. With one of the browsing sessions when I try to close a tab, firefox asks if I really want to close this tab, because for some reason it thinks I'm writing a message. This is really starting to get on my nerve, not because of firefox, but because of the website that triggers these popups.

Is there a way to disable these?

I've trying so hard to find an answer, so I would be really grateful for your help!

Blessings, Janne

I have the same problem as https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/881844 but with fx 21.

Firefox 21 on Ubuntu 13.04 stops loading pages after a while, ranging from less than an hour to a day, of regular browsing. It gets stuck on "looked up whatever.com" or "connecting to..." message. Restarting the browser makes it work for another period.

Changing network.http.max-connections did not help, clearing various history items (cookies, cache, ..., or everything except saved passwords) did not help.

I now disabled ipv6 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can?#w_ipv6 and prefetching but the fact that the problem occurs after several hours makes it hard to test.

When I go to view all of my Downloads I am taken to my Library, but it is completely empty. I get "Organize", "View", and "Import and Backup" but there is nothing that is listed in the boxes. I tried saving a bookmark, but it does not show up here either.

Out of nowhere my page up button now acts like a back button and my page down button does nothing. I am using an ASUS laptop and have had it for 3 years and never had this issue before today.

Anything I print that is not from the Internet or email is fine. Any and all saved documents etc print as they always have. But suddenly anything from the Internet or any emails that I print are so small I can hardly read them.

I have tried all your users' documented possible fixes for removing the Babylon search engine. I.e. Firefox browser defaults to Babylon regardless of what I do or try. I need to speak directly with someone from Firefox!

Even after I visit several websites, the pinned icon on my Win 7 taskbar for Firefox 21 does not show any visited websites, nor does it show tasks like "Open new tab," or "reopen last session."

I just recently reinstalled, and did see my "bookmark.htm" file in the jumplist under "recent," but no websites have appeared since then. Also, my privacy settings default to "Use custom settings for history," even after I reset them to "remember history."

A few days ago, Firefox updated itself to the 18.0.1 version. Now, each time Firefox updates itself, I tend to lose some of my preferences, those being: opening new tabs as a blank page, tabs being on the bottom, and showing my windows and tabs from last time. Usually, though, once I go and change these things back to the way I like them, they stay like that and I have no further problems.

However, this time Firefox won't save my preferences. The tabs go back to being on top, the tabs I last closed aren't there, and these tool bars I don't want keep appearing. Instead, three tabs are always there upon opening Firefox: Welcome to Firefox, Mozilla Firefox Start Page, and Yahoo! Toolbar. Also, when opening a new tab, the page says, "page does not exist" or something, and the URL is not even comprehensible, just random letters like someone bashed their head into the keyboard, something like: "jkfui87$^&%$$09."

I've tried resetting Firefox like it says in the "How to fix preferences that won't save" page, but it didn't help. As for deleting certain files from the profile folder, before I resetted Firefox, I only had "user" and "prefs" and "Invalidprefs" which weren't exactly what that self-helping page asked for so I didn't delete them. After I resetted Firefox I lost the "user" file, but I still have the other two. Should I try deleting them even if they're not exactly like the page describes? They are missing the ".js" part so I haven't felt comfortable messing with them.

Please give me some advice. I'm tired of having to go change my settings in "about:config" each time I open Firefox. But I really don't want to try anything that would delete my bookmarks or history, as I'm very dependent of them.
