Every time I open a link to a Vimeo video (mostly from Facebook) my Firefox 27.0.01 crashes/freezes. I eventually can get the page to close and all goes back to normal (takes about 2-3 mins). I am running W7 Home Premium 64-bit. Any suggestions? This has been going on for at least a month or more.

Hi -

I am noticing at times, not all the time that I am not getting any taskbar notification of when I receive new e-mail. I end up finding at times that I have new e-mail when I re-open Thunderbird. I have it setup in the settings to show a notification of new e-mail. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Any possible solutions?

Thanks

I will be typing on a larger than normal text size then all of a sudden the size changes back. This is very frustrating. I have to go up and change it again. This happens VERY often.

I have created a new profile. And in doing that you work with terminal window.

during that process i noticed this error message when i use FF i get the error message in the terminal window and i can confirm i see it whether using new or old profile

"[AGENT] socket error: [object XrayWrapper [object Event]]; readyState=3. Perhaps Helper is not running on xxxx or is shutting down? console.error: onepassword: "

xx was a number - not sure if was private so xxx.

what does this message mean? I am having connection issues with 2 services i use. I cannot even log a new question in my old ff support account. i hae cleared cache, cookies, history, started in safe mode. i have restarted the router.

but nothing is working ideas?

Hi All, I am trying to deploy Firefox 24.3 ESR. I have configured the original toolbar menu to be without the download and bookmarks menu, leaving only the home button, but I can't figure out how to put the changed localstore.rdf into the install files\user profile when FF is run for the first time for that user. It keeps overwriting it. I have put a copy in the install location of {source}\core\browser\defaults\profile, the install copies it to the new user profile, but when FF opens, it overwrites it. I can copy in the mod file and it will use it after then, but don't want to script an install for this, as it is going into a Thinapp format once complete. Has anybody managed to force in saved copy of localstore.rdf in a recent copy of FF I tried to follow this (http://mike.kaply.com/2012/03/30/customizing-firefox-default-profiles/) but the onmi.ja turned out to be broken.

Thanks in advance

i copied the ical link from my calender on outlook i dont know whats wrong

I am using a 64bit fresh installation of windows 8.1 laptop with the latest 27.0.1 version of firefox. I have been getting start up error messages. The messages claimed that each of nss3.dll, mozglue.dll,plc4.dll,plds4.dll could not be found in windows. I found a good fix explanation on a site where I could download these missing files and copy them to the system folders on windows (in sytstem32 and sysWOW for 64 bit) Each time the error message popped up the next dll file missing and most recently the message has changed to “ command.exe entry point not found” NSSUTIL_DoModuleDBFunction dynamic link library softokn.dll As I can find no reference to this on the net I was hoping you might be able to shed some light on the problem. I have tried reinstalling and I have also tried the reset option in troubleshooting but the problem remains after restoring my FF backup settings. A completely fresh installation does remove the problem but the first installation of a new extension add on (but seemingly not plug-in) and the problem returns regardless of which add-on.

I just installed yahoo toolbar in my new w8 laptop and can't see any way to change it. I am going to use the bookmark toolbar but I need to remove the Yahoo toolbar and can't seem to find out how. Please help, Noel

I attempted to download a .pdf file and open it with Adobe Add-On 11.0.6.70 in FF 25.0.1 and got a message that the file was damaged and could not be repaired. I called the site's Tech Support and they requested that I try the download with another (Ugh!) browser and the download worked. I went back and disabled the Adobe Add-On in FF and the download worked in FF also. Not sure who developed the Add-On but whoever did so, left a bug in the process.

IE8 displays web data in 7 secs, Firefox 27.0.1 displays the same data in 128 secs?

First: PC1 and PC2 are similar XP machines. PC1 home built, PC2 a Compaq. Both running daily current virus checks with no problems encountered in years. The configuration of Firefox on both PCs is identical.

Time in seconds to display the same web page data from hitting `Return'

Test          PC1                    PC2  
             IE7    Firefox      IE8       Firefox
1.          6       5                10        128
2.          3       3                  7        127
3.          3       7                  8          96

That is, there is something seriously wrong on PC2 Running Firefox in Safe Mode does not correct the PC2 problem.

However, looking at the transmission statistics on the internet, PC2 is receiving about 500MB of unwanted data from 74.125.237.161 which is apparently a google web server.

The requests from PC2 look like: GET /safebrowsing/rd/ChFnb29nLXBoaXNoLXNoYXZhchAAGMGZEyCAnBMqHyvNBAD

That is, it appears as if PC2 is asking if the target website is safe to browse. But I can find no options in Firefox to make such a request of any server although it must be related to Firefox, as IE does not suffer from the same problem.

The data from the target website is about 17KB vs 500MB from the unwanted server. This would explain the response time difference.

What could be the cause and how can it be corrected? (PS: Due to the excessive page delays, it was impossible to progress through the required stages for finding this page on PC1. Thus PC2 was used to find this page, then the url was copied to PC1. Troubleshooter was similarly installed separately on PC1).

After upgrading to the new version, 27.0.1, my right-click function to Open link in New Tab stopped working. I cannot open in new window either. When I click the link that I would like to open in new tab or window, the right click window appears, I click on the desired function, and the right click window closes and nothing happens.

I have also noticed that there are many additional functions that now appear on the right-click window, eg.

Play, Pause, Mute, Unmute, etc. Reload image, View Image, View Video, etc. This Frame, View Selection Source, etc.

They could have been there but I do not remember these functions available before. They may have been BUT it may just be the case of not really noticing them because everything worked and now that I can't open new tabs/windows, I now notice them. Not sure if this is related to the issue or not. I have the following extensions running:

ColorZilla 2.6.4.1 Dictionary.com 2.0.0 Firebug 1.8.4 InstantFox 2.8.7

I did disable them to see if they may have been causing the issue but the problem still exists.

Hopefully someone can figure this out because I may need to switch browsers until this gets resolved. Unfortunately not too efficient!

Thanks!

Hi there.

The Website: "familytreemaker.genealogy.com" generates the following message:

   "Allow familytreemaker.genealogy.com to run java(TM) platform se 7 u?"

I've never seen this before. It usually just asks to run "Java" in general.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all, this might have been answered already somewhere, but I can't find something that will fix my issue. I need to remove the Customise option from the toolbar context menu. at the moment my userchrome.css looks like this "menu[label="Tools"] menuitem[label="Sync Now"],#sync-setup-appmenu,#sync-syncnowitem-appmenu,#sync-setup,#sync-status-button,#BrowserPreferences radio[pane="paneSync"] {display:none!important;} menuitem[label="Bookmarks Toolbar Folder"] { display: none !important; } menuitem[label="Security"],#masterPasswordBox {display:none!important;}

1. tabbrowser-tabs{display: none !important;}
2. bookmarks-menu, #urlbar, #searchbar, #context-bookmarklink, #context-bookmarkpage, #context-openlinkintab { display:none !important; }
3. navigator-toolbox menu[label="Bookmarks"] { display: none !important; }
4. toolbar-menubar {display: none !important;}

menubar > menu[disabled="true"] {border: 1px solid transparent !important;}

1. appmenu-button { display: none !important; }

//#viewToolbarsMenu menuitem[label="Customise"], #viewToolbarsMenu menuseparator, #toolbar-context-menu menuitem[label="Customise"] {display: none !important;}

1. viewToolbarsMenu menuitem[label="Customize..."], #viewToolbarsMenu menuseparator, #toolbar-context-menu menuitem[label="Customize..."], #toolbar-context-menu menuseparator{display: none !important;}

1. viewToolbarsMenu menuseparator , #menu_customizeToolbars {display:none!important;}
2. viewToolbarsMenu menuitem[label="Navigation Toolbar"], #viewToolbarsMenu menuseparator, #toolbar-context-menu menuitem[label="Navigation Toolbar"] {display: none !important;}
3. viewToolbarsMenu menuitem[label="Menu Bar"], #viewToolbarsMenu menuseparator, #toolbar-context-menu menuitem[label="Menu Bar"] {display: none !important;}
4. viewToolbarsMenu menuitem[label="Bookmarks Toolbar"], #viewToolbarsMenu menuseparator, #toolbar-context-menu menuitem[label="Bookmarks Toolbar"] {display: none !important;}
5. viewToolbarsMenu menuitem[label="Add-on Bar"], #viewToolbarsMenu menuseparator, #toolbar-context-menu menuitem[label="Add-on Bar"] {display: none !important;}"

as you can see, I have tried a few things to remove the menu option. I had the other menu options shown here (https://db.tt/1BQB4gjQ) so people would be able to know what menu I was talking about. As it currently stands, the user can still use the customise option, but when the Customise Toolbar is closed, it then greys out the option (https://db.tt/9ky59Hyt) If these options listed above are included in the userChrome.css I an getting this (https://db.tt/JLduNKWF). I am not able to get rid of the customise. I have basically built a kiosk mode FF without the full screen requirement. This is a very locked down Corp version for only a limited use on a page that runs slow under (that other included browser)

I hope I have included enough information for a quick response, as I have to finish packaging FF soon.

I thank anybody who can help. Cheers

Message texts have disappeared from body of messages. The inbox still shows subject, date received etc but no details show up when message is opened except for some html messages.

I've done about everything I've can for this browser. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of Firefox and all of its updates. I've experimented with turning plug-ins off and on to see if any were compromising my system. I've removed some plug-ins, entirely, and reinstalled others to make sure they weren't corrupted. I've ran multiple malware and anti-virus programs to clean-up my computer, which resulted in zero virus and a cleaning-up of old malware. But, when I got to sites like Wonkette.com or MLive.com, just as examples, it takes literal minutes for them to load totally crippling my system for minutes at a time. This is some times accompanied by multiple script errors that only add to the crippling wait times. I've turned by Windows Firewall on and off to see if that was slowing the browser down, but to no avail.

It seems that this has to do with how Firefox renders graphic-intensive pages. It seems like a Java or JavaScript problem, though, I've not been able to figure out which one. I have QuickJava, but only turning off JavaScript seems to help, and that's not really a solution, as you often need JS to do things like collapse and expand threads in certain forums and to load video players and certain pictures and graphics. It's way too time consuming.

Is there anything in my browser options that may help with this? Something I've checked that should be unchecked or vice versa? Is my older version of Windows a problem? It's not as if I don't have enough memory to run Firefox, but every time I do a Firefox Health Report, I always get the message that my "browser seems to be running slower than usual." ALWAYS. I've posted troubleshooting information below. Let me know if you guys think it's any of the specific plug-ins/add-ons I'm running (I rarely have any of them on besides Java and then Status Bar 4evar).

What is it with Java and JavaScript that Firefox can't seem to reconcile with?

Just trying to log in to Thunderbird. It does'nt recognize my login or password. I try to change them, Thunderbird says it sent new one to my email. Go to my email and its not there. What i am eventually trying to do is to find a tutorial of how to use my newly installed pgp program. I need something simple that I c an write down and follow so I don't make a mistake. I am NOT "computer literate" in any way. EVERYTHING is a struggle for me so having a "cheat sheet" for pgp protocol is the only way I can think of to commit it to memory. Sorry for the long winded message, don't know any other way to get my point accross. Thanks, Charles

Just reinstalled TB 24.3.0 after HD crash and new Win XP OS installed. I get frequent e-mails from one friend which are all coming in marked [Bulk]. This did not happen before with my former TB install, nor is it happening with anyone else's e-mails. What do I need to adjust to remove the bulk designation from this one person's e-mails? Thx.

The pixellation occurs only in Firefox. I have tried hooking up other computer monitors and LDC displays and the problem is the same no matter what display is hooked up. It only happens with Firefox and not with other browsers or any other programs on my computer including the desktop. Since I cannot post a screenshot, I will try to describe what I am seeing. The Firefox header and sidebars display a random mask of grey squares which hide the text such as menu text but not the white address bars. If I move my mouse over top of this grey block, it refreshes and show the text and menu icons properly. The mouseover refreshes the text and icons but not the background of the menu or sidebar headers. They remain chopped up with randomly sized darker colored opaque blocks of squares, rectangles, and combinations of these.
