Firefox supportforum

I recently uninstalled then reinstalled Firefox but now am unable to use master password. The 'OK' button does not activate, will not save password.

Thank you Marilyn Brann

A newspaper website asked if I wanted to tell them my location. Firfox popped up and asked if I wanted to automatically tell sites that ask my geographic location. I clicked and got more information. There was a section that gave instructions to permanently disable geographic location tracking. I followed the directions to disable, even though the default is no tracking. I had to type an two words with a : separating them into the address bar. This brought me to a long list of settings. I followed the directions but now it seems my location is being tracked by everyone.

How do I get back to this list of settings (which was not accessed through Options) to go back to the default?

When I try to access this US military site, https://www.tricareonline.com/portal/page/portal/TricareOnline/Portal I get a warning that this site can't be trusted. I then get a notice to override Firefox if I trust the site. I get a certificate, override, and finally get the site. But this has happened a half dozen or so times, every time I try to log in to the military site. How can I log into this site without the annoying warnings?

Thanks, Donald Sullivan

Mozilla or someone placed the "search here" search engine. I tried various suggestions and got rid of it on all my computer sites EXCEPT Mozilla. So I uninstalled Mozilla and reinstalled. Now it has blocked access to proxify.com the only reason I use Mozilla. So whats up? how do unblock it?

Firefox stores only 1-month old history. Why? Can i configure the time of storing? And Download History stores so little. (But i think it problem because Download StatusBar addition)

So, this is the problem. The url-bar (the "Awesomebar") predicts the website I'm typing and already puts it in there for me to enter.

The thing is, I mistyped a website once, for example:

instead of "www.youtube.com" I typed "www.yotube.com" (in this case, the website "yotube.com" doesn't exist)

now, every time I enter www.y it shows "yotube.com" in the Awesomebar and "youtube" in the dropdown right under it.

So the prediction is false, while the bookmark is the right website.

Which means that every time I type www.y - it shows www.yotube.com and I'm sent to the wrong website, having to add a 'u' every time. Even though the bookmark shows the correct website and the prediction doesn't.

Even if I delete history, "forget about this website", delete places.sqlite and do all that, it stays like that.

Have reinstalled the open source 'Endian Firewall' on another machine, which is accessed using a browser using HTTPS. It does not have valid certificates but I have always been able to add an override however, this time I can not. The workaround provided in the Firefox support area mentioned above does not solve the problem. I urgently need to access the firewall to make some config changes but have reached a dead end. The article says it may be out of date, is there another workaround I can try? Will reinstalling the firewall or reinstalling Firefox reset the old behaviour?

My start page was changed without my knowledge or consent. Don't know how but maybe it was the most recent Firefox upgrade. How can I prevent this? It really pisses me off.

I put in a few words in my search engine bar that have nothing to do with sex, yet a string of pornographic videos come up in my search results. This happens almost every time I look something up. I want to get rid of them and keep them from coming up. What do I do?

When I click on my username that appears on the top of page, I'm getting: "Oops! We had an error. We'll get to fixing that soon. You can try refreshing the page, or head back to the Add-ons homepage."

But I still can access my account settings: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/users/edit and even edit them.

I pull down the history tab and when I mouse over them nothing happens. Also the Ad block plus add on does not seem to work anymore on the new ads. Is there an update I'm missing it's one of the greatest I've ever known. H. Hase

I set it to always start in private browsing on a Mac. For some sessions, I would like to start the browser where the history IS kept on the computer. When I try to go and turn off private browsing in the "Tools" menu, the "Stop Private Browsing" menu is grayed out (i.e. unable to click it).

Basically, I want a reverse to the original function (i.e. I want it to always be in private browsing EXCEPT for certain times instead of the original never in private browsing EXCEPT for certain times).

I keep having problems with my online banking website. Frequently, I have to re-register my computer with them. I have checked with their support and they find nothing wrong at their end. They said it probably had to do with security and/or privacy settings in Firefox. They told me to select "custom setting for history" under privacy in options. I did this and it seems to work until Firefox updates and then it resets to "remember history":under privacy. When this happens I have to re-register my computer on that web site. Since this happens every few days and I have 5 different accounts on this website, it is a pain. This has only been occurring in the past several weeks.

Why is this happening?

When I go to my security settings window the "Remember passwords for sites" option is a light gray and inaccessible. All the other options are black and usable. How do I access it. I have a 2007 MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8 and Firefox 17.0. Thank You.

Where do you report false positives in the URL typo correction function? Since this feature has been created, Firefox tried to correct:

• http://www.bbfc.co.uk to http://www.bbc.co.uk
• http://commons.wikimedia.org to http://commons.wikipedia.org (note: the former is correct, the latter redirects to the former)

and one more URL which I have forgotten.

Without fail, firefox is going to these remote addresses and host, each time I start the browser. 74.125.227.94 74.125.227.158 74.125.227.158 74.125.227.126 74.125.227.158 74.125.227.126

Well, ... let me restate that. I think my current version DID remember passwords for me but now it doesn't . I access the options and go to privacy and security but it doesn't highlight to allow me to click on " remember passwords........................ " How can I fix this ?
