Firefox-Hilfeforum

I have tried and tried to update the latest version of Firefox but can't get it to work; Gmail keeps telling me to update and so does pinterest. I am too scared to upload recommended packages too because there's a warning about software packages not be able to be authenticated and a malicious individual could take control of my computer.

Not sure what to do Rosy

I looked up how to find the "private browsing" feature, but for some reason, I don't have a "menu" bar on the top of my toolbar, and when I click on customizing my toolbar, there is no "menu" icon, nor is there the purple mask "private browsing" icon (please see image, and note the lack of menu icon on the top).

I would to get the "Never remember history" feature back on Firefox, but even though I click it, it still remembers history. This is very inconvenient since this is at times a shared computer.

When downloading something else, this add-on called View Password has been installed somehow. I get the option to Disable it in the Firefox Add-ons tab, but I do not get the option to remove it. How can I remove it completely?

I want to completely replace the existing Firefox (15.01) bookmarks with those from Safari (7.13). I exporten them from safari in HTML format, but Firefox doesn't allow me to restore from the file.

How do I do this?

Thanks.

hello 2 mins ago i reset my fire fox because i had some useless Add-ons on my fire fox, before reset i had my sync account on fire fox 34 v. after reset now i can't use my account because i forgot my password, i used this link: https://account.services.mozilla.com/forgot to recover my password but every time pop up this error: "Unable to locate your account. Please check your username." so how do i recover my password?

additional info: i used my email inbox to find my account name and password, i found an email subject: "verify your account" i clicked on [Verify] and fire fox sent me from this address: notifications@support.mozilla.org , >>Please confirm your firefox help question! [click here to verify your email address] after clicked i visited the link, popped up Done! .

whats Done?

please help me i have so many important saved passwords and history on my last data.

thank you so much.

When I try to enter some sites I get the error message: Unable to find the proxy server, Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that can't be found. This happened suddenly and I'm not sure why or how I can fix it, it doesn't help that most help site are blocked. Im using a Mac 10.5.8 and Firefox 15.

Is there a way to "lock" a page above another so i can take notes off of the top one onto the one below and not have the page "Above" disappear? i like working with multiple tabs open and like to have a something like my email or a word document open to take notes onto. i have noticed stuff like when you want to open a file and it asks if you want to open it or download it that those stay "above" the page you are working on...so my question is, can i "recreate" that with a page(s) that i choose? or is this just a preference that isnt supported by this program?

i mainly use yahoo as my home page, using f'fox as the browser, however, f'fox does not allow me to add and keep Google tab to the yahoo tool bar. am i missing something here or does F'fox not recognize Google ??.

I have firefox 15, and should upgrade to 25 (?), have downloaded it, but can't drag the icon over to applications because I get the message that I don't have the rights for this product...

The button 'Restart to update' shows and does a restart but there is no update. I have checked under 'OPTIONS': in the 'Advanced' section, on the Update tab, 'Automatically install' is selected. 'Warn me if this will disable add-ons' & 'Use a background service to install updates' are both checked. I can download and install the latest version of Firefox but how can I automatically keep it up to date?

Hi Team,

I have been trying to apply update for Firefox v15 and Thunderbird v16 in my PC in office which runs windows 8 OS, but soon after that my keyboard stops working. As with home PC which also runs the same windows 8 OS its going well with out any issue after the updates, i am really confused kindly let me know what i can do to rectify this issue.

Thanks in advance Venkatesh VRH

I asked this question in April, but it received only one useless response. Nothing has happened since then, while newer versions of Firefox have been released.

Please click Javascript (250.00 MB) on the page http://aia.lmsal.com/aia_cadence/aia_0193_rdiff_orig_20120623_0630/AIA_0193_RDIFF_ORIG_20120623_0630.html. It runs without problem under Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer, but using Firefox newer than version 15, partially blank frames appear, making it hard to view the movie.

I first thought the problem was combined with Mac OS (mine is 10.6.8), but the same problem of blank frames is noted in Firefox 22 on Windows 7.

Therefore, I must conclude Firefox has started to screw up on Javascript since version 17 (or 16, which failed to be released.)

So, to developers, please check whatever changes were made in version 17 (or 16) as to how to handle Javascript movies.

when i open more than 6 windows , they all compress into one tab from where i have to access pages with a drop down menu. i want all the tabs to open up and the individual tabs to appear separately on the tab strip which can be scrolled up or down. thank you

I go to "customize" and get the drop down window OK, but I get stuck here. When I hover the "grab hand" over the bookmarks button and click, nothing happens or the button turns into "new window." My bookmarks aren't visible so I can't drag them to the window to see what to do next. I'm not on full screen. I don't understand what I'm supposed to be doing once I get to this step. thank you.
