Firefox supportforum

For the past week, Firefox while browsing and choosing/clicking on a website I get an unwanted promotional website, and I cannot get the website originally wanted.

This happened

A few times a week

== About a week ago

I want to change settings in firefox so the ads on the site below appear.

When i clivk the + sign on the tabs bar or select NEW TAB on the file menu a new tab does not open if i select fire fox help from the help menu a new tab open and i can then go to my home page and use as normal This is since updating to 3.6.15

I check to see which toolbars are displayed and the Menu, Navigation and Bookmarks toolbars are checked to display. I uninstalled and re-installed but still no firefox button on my screen.

A few days back I upgraded to Ver. 4 of Firefox. But the page being displayed is not quite the same as shown/displayed by Mozilla website.

In the top left there is no ' Firefox' tab with drop down menu.

On the other hand all my previous tool bars and tabs are present. It may be noted that I have not UN-installed and re-installed the program-me. Also I am having no inconvenience in using ver. 4 otherwise.

I would be glad if any one, please, explain the phenomenon.

Whenever I switched or opened a new tab in Firefox 3.5 the tab remembered all the pages that were visited in that tab, and would show a dropdown list when I clicked the small arrow next to the back/forward buttons.

When I switched tabs the dropdown would show the pages that I used to get to the page in the second tab.

Now all tabs have their history lumped together in 1 place and I have no idea how I got to many of the places I find.

I have FF 4.0. I would like to keep up with it as it improves. In the meantime, 3.6 was faster switching tabs and loading most sites. How do I load FF 3.6 and put it on a different profile.

The tutorials talk about the "Firefox" button, but it doesn't exist! What were they thinking?! It's in the tutorial, but not in the software yet?

Does anyone know if there's a new release coming which includes this new feature?

and found FF did not copie All of my bookmarks...so i deleted them...thinking I could take the same steps again (copie the bookmarks again). This is not possible!! If I click the file button, the "import"line/text (so to speak) is light gray, and I can't click it....so I'm not able to copy them anymore to FF for a 2cnd time. Is there anyone who has an idea how to fix this?! Thanx, Debora

I've upgraded our XP pc to Firefox & I don't have the new Firefox button - I've still got the old File - Edit etc menu at the top. The Tabs etc have all changed - it's just the button that hasn't appeared. My husband has a different XP user on the same pc, and he does have the new button, rather bizarrely (since, presumably, we're both running the same software!).

When a new tab is opened via launching a URL from another application on Windows (e.g. Outlook), the tab close buttons disappear, even with only two tabs. By carefully grabbing the right window border and dragging *inwards* (i.e. making the window narrower), the buttons suddenly appear on all tabs, thus illustrating that it's not a problem with the tab widths.

How do I turn off the "switch to tab" feature? Why? The site I want runs a Java program, and I want the program to run multiple times. I looked in Tools > Options > Tabs and found no way to turn off the "switch to tabs." I looked thru the entire Options and found nothing. I thought Tools > Options > Advanced might hold the key to a solution, but I found nada.

Somehow a picture of a nice young lady has appeared to the right of the heading on my copy of Firefox. A brownish picture that obscures other material so it is having a very negative effect. How do I remove it please - permanently
