Firefox-Hilfeforum

I have had enough of Firefox crashing. I do not mind having a slightly slower browser, I do mind it crashing.

I would like to know a SIMPLE way to stop automatic updates. I am actually using a Dutch version of Firefox, which in their attempt to make things easier for us has a different layout :-(

I am now extremely unhappy with Firefox. Since the upgrade before last it has done nothing but crash. If it is not possible this time to switch out the automatic updates - so that I can update to the previous version that (hopefully) no longer crashes, then I shall simply move to Chrome. Sorry.

Was having script errors using IE8. SmugMug recommended I try Firefox. The script errors have stopped, but is very slow to respond to clicks compared to IE8.

On a screen that has pick lists. In IE8 they open fully imediatley. But in Firefox the response is very slow and the pick lists open almost in a jerky fashion.

Also when starting Firefox for the first time I was offered and accepted the option to import IE's bookmarks and such. I let it run for 20 min. then a script error dialog box came up:

Warning: Unresponsive script A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete. Script:resource:///components/nsPlacesExpiration.js:632

I elected to Stop it. It importing continued until Firefox came up. But guess what; no IE Bookmarks were imported. I have a barebones, no addons Firefox running. And like I said, it is very, very slow.

FoxTab 1.4.4 stopped working.all i get is ablue window where the grid ith my topsites use to be.i tried removing the extension then re-installing it but I get the same condition.Anyone got any ideas.Oh Yes there was a windows update this morning

Crashes have occurred at multiple sites, and even ocurred when logging off the browser on 3 or 4 occasions. Most frequently if involved in loading or reloading flash games. Have turned off various features in the AV, can't isolate to any one thing. Would like as much info as possible about what is causing crashes so can be reported back to webroot for possible resolution Any help greatly appreciated Below are last 5 IDs, have a large list, several were submitted with comments regards this issue

When I click onto the Mozilla Firefox icon and open the browser up, it doesn't automatically connect to the online server. Instead, a message appears that it is in offline mode. If I want to go online, I am instructed to click a "Retry" button. This then initiates the online mode. It doesn't happen all the time but most often first thing in the morning and/or if Firefox has not been opened for a few hours. Is there something I need to change in the Firefox Preferences under Network/Connection/ Settings?

I reinstalled firefox recently and now every time I click a link it opens in a new tab instead of in the same tab. I would rather change it so it opens in a new tab only if I tell it to but for some reason that option is no longer in the options tab. How do I disable this function in the newer firefox?

I was doing nothing in particular when I realized everything was text only with no graphics. When I opened the same page in Safari - happened to be gmail - the page appeared as it should with graphics. Text only is appearing on all sites opened in FF

Only after downloading and installing Firefox 10 did I discover that it was not compatible with Norton and Comcast Constant Guard. I need to remove Firefox 10 and replace it with a previous version that is compatible with Norton and Comcast Constant Guard. Version 8.0.1 seems to work.

I have tried re-installing firefox and Im still having the same problem. I have even tried installing other browers via memory stick from another computer and nothing works. I can't use my internet...please help!

Firefox crashes as soon as I attempt to open it. It started happening when I updated to version 10 and 10.0.1. It won't open in safe mode and I've tried using a new profile which hasn't worked. Any ideas on how to get it working?

Password Manager remembers my passwords, but won't insert them at log in time. This began after updating to version 10. It will ask to save new passwords, but won't insert the old ones.

Somewhere somehow I remember making the strange choice of preventing others to do something?... navigation? ends up I have to tab my way around the menus - only some parts of any web page are accessible with the mouse - otherwise its TAB TAB TAB my way around - How can I revert back to normal functionality? I do not remember where I found that feature -

Thank you - in the interim I have to use Internet Explorer and I don't like it ! - please give me back my Firefox :)

Thank you

I am being asked to update to Firefox 14.01 but am afraid I will not be able to use AVG safesearch.

Can anyone tell me if I can enable AVG Safesearch in the new version?

I see this issue is widespread, but some of the "easy" fixes are for computer geeks only. I would like to know if anyone could tell me how to get rid of the welcome page without delving into the guts of my computer? I don't write software, and I'm not going to jump through hoops to try to get rid of this nuisance.

There has to be more people like me who look at some of these replies and think, "What?"...especially when we don't see what you're apparently seeing when you "walk us through" steps to correct this issue.

I feel Firefox should address this personally, since it's their update that screwed us all up. Supposedly, updates are supposed to get us "ready to enjoy the very latest in speed, flexibility and security"...yeah, okay. How about fixing this bug, Firefox??? Instead of making your users solve the issues for you. This is ridiculous.

If no one can help me solve this without me having to get a degree in computer science, can someone tell me how to get rid of the update altogether? I'll take my chances by NOT being "ready to enjoy the latest in speed, flexibility and security"...

I'm sorry for the frustration, but this is just unacceptable. We shouldn't have to go through this every time we update. Thanks for any help!

Sometime along the movement to FF 10, my tabs do not act as before. I load dozens of tabs at a time. 1- As I go from tab to tab, the next tab just beyond the right tab would show that I could just 'hit' on it and it would open. The tab after would also show a bit. Now I have to hit the right arrow, then 'hit' the tab to open. It increases my workload tremendously. 2- Along with '1' above if I 'hit' the left or right arrow, the tabs shoot across more than the width of the tab bar. I sometimes have to go back and fourth a few times to get where I was. It never was this "sensitive" or acted in this way.

I am a web developer. I tried HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) in my developing website.

Now I want to cancel (forget) the HSTS setting for this site, but I cannot. Cannot I access my developing website with HTTP anymore?

When trying to access Live Chat, a message appears "There was an error checking the queue." I have seen this for quite some time so I know it is not an intermittent issue. A link appears underneath this message "You can try starting a chat session." When I click this I am brought to a blank page with the title "Leave A Message." What is going on? Even at the bottom of the Contact Us page there is mention of live chat under Technical support.
