منتدى دعم ”Firefox“

Hi,

Firefox has stopped displaying websites correctly. When I view a certain page it does not longer align images, or show bullet points etc.

I have gone thorugh all the troubleshooting steps available online like clearing cache and history, starting in safe move. Disabling add-ons, re-installing firefox etc, but nothing helps. Other browsers display my site just fine.

Its a staging site at the moment for a new website. On the home page for example, there are 4 box areas each with a thumbnail image, which does not align with the text anymore.

Really hope someone can help me with this issue.

This is the homepage from which I am asked to download the following Plugin: otherx.zip

I read somewhere, that that would be malware. For the whole Flash-Problem doesn't seem to be solved and I unfortunately need to use flash for www.home-away.com, I am concerned.

If I go through Firefox Extras Plugins, I can not find that one, which makes me wonder why I would be asked to install a zip-File, which I can not get through Firefox directly.

Please answer!

Thanks

Babette

I accidentally removed a pinned website from my New Tab (start) page. (You can Unpin by clicking the icon in the top left corner of the thumbnail, or Remove by clicking the icon in the top right corner of thumbnail.) My question is, how do I ADD (or more specifically, restore) a website thumbnail? Pulling my hair out over here...

(FYI, the following article doesn't seem to reflect the latest version (32.0.3) or resolve the issue: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites?esab=a&as=aaq)

FF 32.0.3 on OSX (10.7.5)

Mozilla's web site says this: Firefox 48.0 System Requirements for Mac Operating Systems • Mac OS X 10.9 • Mac OS X 10.10 • Mac OS X 10.11

But also says this:

The Firefox version 48 release in August 2016 will be the last Firefox version to receive new feature or security updates on OS X systems that are no longer supported by Apple: OS X 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8. Starting with the Firefox version 49 release in September 2016, Firefox is no longer supported on OS X systems below 10.9.

So is Firefox 48 supposed to work on my OS X 10.7 or not? (I ask this because of a web site that works with Safari but not with Firefox 48.) Should I regress to version 47? Should I regress to ESR 45? If so, what happened to 46 and 47?

I can only see the contents of my bookmarks toolbar via History ⟶ Show All History. And I can't customize the toolbars because I can't bring up the dialogue box.

I'm also having trouble with the sidebar:

Two things I can't get to show in the sidebar are Bookmarks and History (View ⟶ Sidebar ⟶ Bookmarks and View ⟶ Sidebar ⟶ History). The shortcuts don't work either.

Two things I can get to show in the sidebar ScrapBook and Pocket, however, I can't close the sidebar via the top right cross, but have to go via the menu: View ⟶ Sidebar ⟶ Pocket / ScrapBook.

When I upgraded to this latest version of Firefox my default search engine became Yahoo. I then used your directions to change to Google, but the display results on Google are extremely small, while the other search engine results remain at normal size. i don't want to start zooming to increase display results as then the websites I go to will be too large. I am a marketing communications consultant and must use Google to assist my clients with SEO functionality.

I tried attaching screen captures of search results for Firefox and Bing so you could see the difference, but they wouldn't load. I am on an iMac 10.7.5

yesterday when I went onto Firefox and new toolbar appeared with buttons like: "clean your pc", "speed up pc" (I don't have a pc), "hottest games", "pricegong", "convert files" . . . Where did it come from? What should I do about it? Got an email from India on how to get rid of it . . . I have Firefox 19 Use a Mac OSX Thank You.

My laptop has limited RAM - about 2GB. Of the browsers I've tried (Chrome, Safari, Firefox), Firefox uses the least RAM, but it still uses around 1GB of RAM to display about 10 tabs (gmail, facebook, reader, and assorted other websites) - this seems insanely high.

Thinking back, this didn't seem to be a problem "back in the day", so to speak, so I tried installing Firefox 3.6 again.

Lo and behold, with the same addons and the same tabs open, Firefox 3.6 is using 300MB of RAM where Firefox 21 used 980MB of RAM. In addition, navigation is noticeably snappier in Firefox 3.6 - probably because it doesn't have to page to disk as often (which would often lock up my computer using Firefox 21).

I thought that newer versions were supposed to improve memory performance, not triple the required memory...

I was using the Hola! Unblocker forever for sites like Netflix, MTV, ABC, NBC, Hulu, basically any American network that doesn't stream its content to Canada and it was great. Now suddenly Hola! is gone and everytime I try and install, Firefox won't let me.

video's with JWPlayer start loading but won't play and stay black with a rolling wheel. The player is shown and even full screen can be activated. There is no message for a missing plug-in.

I have been using firefox for years now and up until last week I have not had any problems. However, firefox started crashing my PC and forcing it to restart and my registry started getting all thrown out of whack!

I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox several times, repaired my disks, defragged, and scanned for viruses.

Why is this happening????

Firefox is suffering from seriously annoying lag spikes on my mac, while other browsers work perfect. The problem is the worst when watching Youtube video's or when typing (text only appears after 1-2 seconds when the spike happens.)

I've tried the about:config stuff, I used Speedyfox, googled for days but nothing seems to be working. What's worth trying? I love Firefox and I don't want to switch to another browser.

Could it be firefox plugin process? It seems to be eating a lot of RAM from times to times (I updated Java and Flash).

Thank you

I read through the info about people using WIndows, but didn't find help for my Mac. Don't know how to proceed. It is a SERIOUSLY obnoxious bit of uninvited marketing which pops up all over previously reliable pages....

I have on old MacMini that cannot support updates for Firefox, but I made the mistake of downloading 48.0.2 when it was offered today. Now my Video Download Helper is gone and so is my AdBlock and I cannot find versions that are compatible with this browser. How do I find the old versions of these add-ons and get back to where I was?

I just bought a new computer that came with Windoze 8. I hate it. Firefox works occasionally.

It is pinned to the taskbar, but I cannot get it to start. I click on it and nothing happens.

When I go to Start and click on Firefox, it does not staty. IE and other programs start, but not Firefox. Is Microsoft blocking it? I am trying to run a business and I have to use Firefox on a Windows machine. Any suggestions?

My home page is Google. However, whenever I open a new tab, the website opened isn't Google, it's something saying 'Results by Bing' in the upper right corner. How can I ensure that new tabs start at Google (or at any other page I set as my home page)?

This is extremely frustrating and has been happening for months now. Sometimes the sites load, but then stop working after a few minutes, and then it's nearly impossible to get them to load again. It just hangs at "connecting" for ever until it either times out or just goes to a blank tab. Other sites work, but anything Google related such as search, gmail, finance, etc or Facebook simply don't work.

It appears that this is a common problem recurring every 6 months or so according to this board. I've tried clearing cookies/cash and then even reset Firefox and it still happens. Any suggestions to fix this problem?

Thank you very much!

I was just working on an eBay listing and I pressed the "delete" key when the cursor was not in a field and it made my browser go back a page. In doing this, I lost an ENTIRE LISTING WORTH OF WORK! This is such an annoying feature! I don't want my delete key to do anything except delete text. How can I disable this feature that makes the delete key perform the same function as the "back arrow". For example, if the cursor was out of this box right now and I pressed "delete" by accident, I would have to re-type all of this text! This is a stupid feature. Please tell me, how do I disable it?
