I have just upgraded to Firefox 21.0 on my Solaris 10 system. (I know, it's not supported--sue me.) I have replicated the plugins directory from my Firefox 20.0.1 installation. All plugins appear in the Add-ons Manager, and work properly, in Firefox 20.0.1, but Firefox 21.0 tells me ``You do not have any add-ons of this type installed. How do I get Firefox 21.0 to recognize the installed plugins? Thanks.

Yes, it's an old chestnut this one: various pages loading completely blank. I have no security issues – ran combofix just in case – everything is working OK... except Firefox and its blank pages.

I followed advice given in the following post and there were no suspicious addons:

I load these blank pages in IE without any problems - If it’s simply a question of updating Firefox I shall do so, but this shouldn’t be happening in the first place.

in other words I cannot log in to the site Mindbody, because when using Firefox when I start to type in my username the letters show up in the address bar above, and not in the username box. The same goes with the password box.

Auto update this morning

Ever since, I'm experiencing the worst, slowest, excruciating experience ever

I've been using Firefox since the beginning - how many years is that? It is my preferred browser - err, was ...

I'm about to move to Chrome if I have to wait nearly 30 seconds for pages to load

Gmail keeps complaining about a stopped script

please, help!

Friends:

The latest Firefox won't launch. Here's what I get...

gardei@gardei-lab:~$ ./firefox/firefox XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /home/gardei/firefox/libxpcom.so: libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Couldn't load XPCOM.

Both .so files exist in ./firefox

I JUST accidentally deleted my inbox. I believe "delete forever". But I do not see these items in trash or in "all messages". My inbox is empty. Is there any way to recover these emails? I just did this about 3 minutes ago.

i have tried the downgrade to ver 10 of flash. no problem in firefox but now my other programs that use flash will not run. error messages say that i am not up to the correct version. i uploaded waterfox and have had no problems using the latest flash. can you take the waterfox program segments and move them to firefox?

i use firefox for samsung galaxy s3 and instead of downloading videos it starts to play them which is very anoyin and disturbing when i want to download them. please help me with this.

My problem is

i m making a website in xhtml 1.1 tested on safari, opera, chrome, dragon, ie10.

i added a div class=box in a page and a sprymenu in an other page.

when you open the site with firefox there is some space at the end of the page

so for ex.

all the other browsers:

header

content

footer

end

firefox:

header

content

footer

end

.

i tried to delete the space with the css with no luck

Using Firefox 20.x , configured to always be in private browsing mode. For some reason, after a while of browsing, when I open a new empty tab, there is content saved on the dashboard of recently visited sites. This seems almost exclusively to happen only with images from i.imgur.com . These sites do not go away after closing and reopening the browser. The only way to get rid of these is to clear all my recent history. I should not have to do this, as my browser is always in privacy mode.

I am really not sure how to test this. If I clear my history, and go to imgur links, it does not happen right away. After a few days of web surfing, I will open a new blank tab and see there is content available in the new tab window. All those spaces should be empty.

Any ideas on how I can hone in on what is going on here?

I managed to solve this on my end by just reinstalling firefox using the localisation of the default dictionary language i wanted from here - http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

A bit of a shame that the main download page doesnt select the geographically relevant localisation for you and even more so that changing the default language for the in built spell checker is so kak. oh well.

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!!

After upgrading to FF 21, search engines no longer appear in the bar on the top right of screen, so no searches are possible. I can navigate to my bookmarks and apparently also to links contained in emails.

If I right-click on the FF icon, and choose the "run as administrator " option, the search engines are there again. I tried deleting the parent.lock file from the profiles folder, as this solution had solved a problem I'd had recently with the previous version of FF (not being able to open FF, and getting the error message about another version of it running, which had to be closed first - but there was no other version running. In that case, too, before finding out about the solution, I was able to open FF by using the "run as administrator" option). However deleting the parent.lock file didn't solve this problem.

I'd be grateful for your help, especially if put in simple terms a not hugely computer-literate person like myself can understand!

When doing a google search, I see no thumbnail images for things like youtube video's or an image that would typically come from authority site. Is there a setting in FireFox that is inhibiting this?

Compared to IE or Chrome which does shows a little image in Google search results.

Running android mobile firefox. After yesterday's update it crashed and it wiped all bookmarks snd history. I went into settings and clicked "restore from android". It did, but my Chrome bookmarks. Then it crashed again after that and all was wiped again. Getting too unstable to use now. If there is no way of recovering all my lost

On a few sites, the pages load very slow (minutes). I had the exact same problem (same pages as well) on another computer and fixed it by formatting/installing windows 8. I'd like to avoid formatting this computer. It loads much faster in IE.

What I have: Windows 7 (all updates), Firefox 21

What I don't have: antivirus software special firewall settings

What I've tried: Uninstall (everything in Firefox), reboot, reinstall Firefox Remove cookies, history Safemode run Unchecked hardware accel
