There must have been an automatic update to Firefox in the last few days because suddenly, the images on my screen went from normal to gigantic. The size increase is about 150%. Any ideas on how to make it go back to 100%?

Occasionally when I go to webpages the entire page will turn black. This most often occurs when scrolling, but can also happen when loading a page or even randomly. Usually, but not always, more scrolling fixes it. shortly after getting these problems Firefox will often crash.

I print several EBAY labels a day. Just upgraded to firefox 29 (not realizing really what had changed - now regretting) and the built in PDF viewer no longer prints properly. It shows the label fine on the screen, but when sending to the printer (I tried two different ones) it just prints out two blanks pages. I tried a number of different printer settings and as i mentioned two different printers. Can't get anything to print now except two blank pages. If I switch the application settings in firefox to use an external 3rd party PDF viewer (e.g. Adobe reader 11, PDF Viewer plus, etc) those work fine. However, the default built in PDF viewer clearly broke in this new version. A very disappointing launch for me as this is critical feature for my use. Yes, I have a work around, but the point (and new bug) is still valid.

I recently updated Firefox from v29.0.1 to v30.0. Each time I exit the program, the following dialogue box is displayed after the Firefox window has closed:

Firefox has stopped working

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program.

[ Close the program ]

When I reinstalled v29.0.1 the problem stopped.

Until v30.0 all Firefox updates have worked with little or no problems.

Anyone else having this issue?

I would like to put the reload button in the menu bar but it is not in the customize page so i can drag it up to the menu bar. It was in the old verson of Firefox now it's gone

Firefox has become very slow to load.

After about four minutes, the Firefox frame for a webpage appears. Eventually the screen for my homepage (Bing) fills the screen. I receive the following error message: "Warning: Unresponsive script: A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding....Script: chrome://browser/content/places/browser Places Views.js: 115"

Is this script connected to Bing or to Firefox?

If Firefox, how can I stop evoking this error? I uninstalled Chrome from my laptop and would strongly prefer not to use it.

I clean out my Internet cache, using CCleaner, every night. Often the files add up to 200 to 320 MB.

Win XP Pro SP3.

Thanks so much for your help.

I did update to FF 29 and to my horror it just looks awful and makes no sense at all anymore :( Seems somehow FF thinks it's wise to make it look like other browsers :( I did try the "old look"-add on, did try the add-ons to get buttons back on the bottom (which is the most logical place for them), and so on. But the overall look just stays awful :( Until there is an option where I can get the real and logical version 28 layout back, where is a complete version of FF 28 so I can use a logical layout FF browser?

- Session restore brings up tabs that I had closed before closing Firefox. Sometimes it even selects a tab that I didn't have selected when I closed it.

- Leaking memory like nobody's business. It went from 500 MB to 1.5 GB overnight (i.e. while it was "idling" minimized on the desktop).

- The config.trim_on_minimize setting is missing. Why is this?

- When the memory usage gets above ~1 GB (FYI, this is a guess), I start seeing problems with Firefox displaying web-page graphics and even, in one instance, shutting down text input on a web page (this was within Facebook).

- Randomly crashes for no apparent reason. FYI, this happened after I updated to Firefox 28 as well.

None of these problems ever happened before I upgraded to Firefox 28 and 29. I'm very close to abandoning Firefox altogether if these problems are not resolved promptly and permanently. In other words, I've nearly had enough of this. Whatever happened to "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"?

This has been happening for awhile now and I have tried a few things to fix it, but I just can't seem to narrow down the cause of it. Of the course of a session Firefox will open additional processes http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a253/ravenillusion/Screenshot2014-05-14144644_zpsedeb97f0.png. Each of these processes is using around 4MB of RAM and can be closed without affecting Firefox. When you close Firefox these additional processes do not close and will prevent you from reopening Firefox until they are closed. So far the most I have clocked were 50 of them and having to close them manually is a pain. I have tried adjusting my addons and that has not solved the issue. I have a feeling and a believe it is related I am getting an error every time close Firefox:

I have the most recent version of Firefox (29, I think) and when I just went to open my browser, my previous tabs were all gone. I have opened Firefox at least twice since I updated to the latest version and everything has been fine. The option to 'Restore previous session' is greyed out. I have tried going to the sessionstore.js and click on 'Previous Sessions' but it was empty. I tried to go into this folder again and received the follow error:

Script: c:\users\(name)\appdata\roaming\mozilla\firefox\profiles\goa9m6ih.default\sessionstore.js Line: 1 Char: 11 Error: Expected ';' Code: 800A03EC Source: Microsoft JScript compilation error

I had about 20 tabs open and am just sick that I lost them all.  The startup for FF is still set to 'Use my tabs from previous session'.  Help!

On many different websites, the tab will say "connecting" and then stop. It repeats this over and over every few seconds. Oddly, if I click on another open tab, the process will stop. I can then return to the offending website and it doesn't do it. If I click on another page of the website though, it begins all over again.

I brought my father a new PC and three months later had to do a complete windows reset because he does not know how to browse the internet. He infected it with malware, causing software errors, and causing some Win 8 files to be corrupted where Blue Screens of Death started to appear. All but one malware was removed and the unremoveable one was one of those persistent ones that keep reinstalling itself as a browser plugin. What I need to know is how to prevent firefox from being able to download and install plugins. I setup a basic secondary account (a standard user user, no admin privileges), setup the windows 8.1 family filter and the internet security software's own family for two layers of protection, but I can not prevent firefox from downloading/installing new plugins. How do I make it impossible to add plugins unless permission is granted? The fact that firefox (I use 29.0.1) can potentially install plugins when the user account I setup blocks software installation is a security risk for me.

I get the message "The content you requested cannot be displayed right now. It may be temporarily unavailable, the link you clicked on may have expired, or you may not have permission to view this page." This happens every time I open a Facebook or Mafia Wars page in Firefox. I've removed any corrupt cookies, etc., and done all that troubleshooting. I even disabled all my plugins, to no effect. I'm afraid it's some sort of virus.

I don't know what it is called, autocomplete or autofill? Anyway, every time when I type in log-on box of ANY forum, email account, any account, firefox remembers the sign-on information and autofill it. I don't want this function. I only want the autofill to work in location bar on the top, which it works. But it is autofilling every and any sign-on box. Really bad. And no, it does not autofill password, which is good. I don't want autofill for password, either. Is there a way to ask Firefox to just autofill search box on the top but nothing else? I am running on windows 7 and firefox 29.0. Thanks.

I just got updated to v29. Whenever I have more than one tab open, any font on the background tabs is white. It's hard to read and I'd like to change it so the font is black like on the active tab.

Before the update, I was able to use Stylish to get this functionality. However, something is broken with how -moz-box-ordinal-group functions. The only valid entries are 0 (places it above the Menu Bar) or !0 (places it at the very bottom).

Neither of those two places are what I desire. Here is what I'm aiming for, from top to bottom:

Menu Bar
Bookmarks Toolbar
Tabs
Address Bar

See this Stylish for a picture of what I used to have:
http://userstyles.org/styles/46274/firefox-4-bookmarks-toolbar-above-tabs-enhanced

So, my question here is, how can I restore this functionality? Having bookmarks below the address bar does not follow logic, in my mind. And this "now things are easy to customize how you want it!" thing that Australis is supposed to allow... doesn't let me customize it how I want it.

Any help would be appreciated, be it a config setting, a plugin, or some CSS I can plug into Stylish.
