I installed FF 36.0 yesterday afternoon. Since then FF is a) slow to start - over a minute, b) slow to respond (same delay) when clicking a link in another program such as TBird. I have executed a refresh and cleared all cache and history. Still same problem even asterf numerous exits via the approved mechanism and restarts of Windows 7. THis is becoming annoying and time wasting. I also set the Norton Firewall setting for FF from Auto to Allow. Doesn't help

When I print a web page, the other columns on many pages overlap with the content I'm trying to print resulting in an unreadable printed pages. This issue does NOT occur in other browsers so I've had to resolve by printing using IE or Chrome. I've tried ALL of the recommended fixes on your help topics with NO fix. All my print page settings are at the recommended default and I've reset the printer properties via your help topic recommendation. Can you help? My printer is a HP laserjet 2200d. My OS is Windows 7, 64-bit.
What is the difference between Mozilla, Firefox and Google?

When I turn on the computer Google comes up for me to sign in to because (I guess) that's the email corporation. But there are icons on a "bar" that are apparently Firefox. And nothing that says Mozilla. It seems to me that Firefox used to come up and then there was a place to click on Google for email.
I don't understand these relationships and what a browser is vs homepage vs search engine (which is always, for some reason, a thing called "bing"). Younger computer savvy people cannot seem to give me the answers - they will always start talking circles around my head as if I already understand these things. At my work, the only class I ever got was when all this started around 1991.

Foxstart appeared on my Firefox search bar. As advised by computer friend and newspaper article I went to Toos, Add-ons & Extensions to remove it but the only item was “Norton Identity Safe Toolbar (disabled) Incompatible with Firefox” I see that there are downloads available to remove Foxstart but I do not know if they are safe.
I tend to be careful in what I download and I am surprised that both Mozilla and Norton failed to block Foxstart.
Help!

How do I change toolbar icons to text? How do I add "Reload", "New Tab" and other items not showing in "customize" ?
See above. I did "refresh firefox" and lost my previous toolbars, which were in text, not icons.

I use Firefox as my preferred browser. I have been using Firefox 35 and recently updated to 36. Yahoo! Mail is my email provider. Every day, for weeks, when I first boot up my computer, when I open Yahoo! Mail and login, Yahoo! Mail freezes. To get it to unfreeze, I have to hold down CTRL and ALT and press DEL, more than once, to get to the screen where I can choose to enter Task Manager. Instead, when I click on CANCEL, Yahoo! Mail unfreezes. This only happens when I boot up the computer and try to log into Yahoo! Mail fresh.
I have read both Firefox and Yahoo! suggestions for eliminating what might be the causing problem: clearing the cache, deleting cookies, disabling add-ons, temporarily disabling the anti-virus software (I use AVG), etc.. None of them have worked. I have read both Firefox problem solver and Yahoo! problem solver comments stating the problem is the other service. I do see that others who use IE, Chrome, and Safari have had similar problems with Yahoo! Mail.
I am tired of this. What can be done to fix this problem? I have also posted my problem for Yahoo! Mail problem solvers.
Why is .toString() not working on latest firefox 36? It works fine on 35. Will it get a come back at 37?
The question is self sufficient.

I need to fill in an online survey but i can't tick the small boxes next to the images or options. First i noticed this on this site; http://www.buzzfeed.com/peggy/bohemian-homes-youd-love-to-chill-out-in#.liMj9b8pqw Images did not load but i thought it was because of the slow internet connection. When i clicked the links that were given as source the all of the images loaded. Then on the test i noticed i cannot click the options. To be sure of that i had a problem i tried some lame quizzes such as: http://www.buzzfeed.com/tomphillips/true-or-false-or-what#.eaOjqW6kJ2 I tried some of the options on support page like, disabling add ons, restarting firefox on safe mode etc. I even updated my shockwave, java etc. Later because of the risks i uninstalled java. Still got nothing and need some help!
Thanks.

Firefox (36.0) will only start if run as administrator (Windows 7). Clicking on the taskbar, or double clicking on the desktop icons do not open it (I just get a few seconds of the spinning 'wait circle'). It was previously working fine, and then just stopped. I had not installed anything new, or made any other changes to the system (although it is always possible some automatic software update may have happened in the background). So far I have tried the following:- 1) Disabled all addons - no difference 2) Re-boot PC - no difference 3) Re-install Firefox - no difference 4) Refreshed Firefox to restore defaults - no difference 5) Un-install the re-install Firefox and re-boot PC - no difference 6) Disable anti-virus - no difference 7) Ran Malwarebytes Anti-Malware - no malware detected 8) Complete un-install, including manual removal of user profile folder, etc.. then a clean new install - no difference!!
I'm pretty exasperated now! Any ideas?

Installed Firefox 36 on a Lenovo YOGA Tablet 2-1051 (10" screen).
Opened the Settings dialog, but the top bar (with the X) is off the top of the screen, the bottom OK and Cancel buttons are off the bottom of the screen. I can't seem to drag the dialog up or down to get access to those buttons. The escape key and enter key seem to be the only ways out, but I can't be sure that Enter is on OK or not.

lately there is something going on with either Fire fox or the internet or something..
When I click on something, fire fox just sits there saying "connecting".. Many times I have to click on something several times or exit firefox and restart.
I tired uninstalling firefox, rebooted my windows 7 computer, reinstalled firefox and still get the same problem.
ALSO, Downloads,. Having problems downloading now. Seems the downloads never START.
I used A few addons such as download helper, and such and they are totaly out of whack now. Download helper won't work unless I go to tools, addons, then close the tab.. then when I select the file to download, it put it in a que..
I use Adblock Plus and Avast AV, and Admuncher. I've turned them all off, and STILL have problems with downloading and connecting..
If I am forced to have to see and watch endless advertising to be able to use the internet, I will pull the plug on this thing just like I did the television 12 years ago.

Whenever I browse just the battle.net group of forums (Hearthstone, World of Warcraft, etc) I get a Connection was reset error. The site loads normally if I refresh the page or go back and click the link again.
It only happens with the battle.net sites, all other sites are fine.
I've performed the regular duties; clear cache/cookies, start in safe mode, reboot computer, reset router, etc. The problem still occurs. I thought it might be my antivirus (AVG) but the problem persists when I disable that.
I even thought it might be due to the upgrade to FF36, but downgrade back to FF35 hasn't helped either.

I don't run a proxy, and there's not one set up on my computer (internet options control panel checked).
EDIT: I think Adblock Plus might be interfering, so I'll tentatively mark this as solved, although ABP shouldn't have been running in safe mode.. odd.
EDIT2: Nope, still happening with ABP off. :-(

Why does firefox v36.0 connect to several google.com servers when starting up? I can see the connections with Symantec EP.
This is very disturbing that mozilla is allowing these connections when firefox starts up.

Win 7.1, FF 36.0 (just updated) All add-ons & javascript up to date.
A few weeks ago this problem began: I am not aware of any configuration changes or new software installation at that time. This problem began while the previous ver. of FF was installed, and continues with 36.0
It seems very consistent with the site: always on Amazon, for example - all I see is text - some of it links. Internal Amazon links lead to one after another text-only page. The page structure is recognizable. I have to use IE to do business there.
Adobe Flash Player Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.296 (stated by Mozilla to bee vulnerable (16.0 r0) won't update: message Flash Player Plugin between 11.0 and 11.7.700.169) blocked (Not 16+ !). Is there an alternative?
Control Panel > uninstall Programs indicates that Flash Player ActiveX and NPAPI & Shockwave player are present somewhere: don't know why. I often can't play video in news media - no indication why with R-click - ideas?
I watch NoScript (which I have had for years) carefully. I also have Trueblock+ installed (it does a good job).
I know there is a FF refresh function, but am loth to have everything set back to defaults, unless there is no other solution.
Any insights or fixes will be gratefully considered. Thanks!
