When I want to bookmark a page, it saves it on the toolbar with a boring looking folder as the icon, rather than say the blue 'F' of Facebook. Why does this happen?

Firefox 3.6.8 and 3.5 (I downgraded to see if that would solve the issue) Windows 7 Intel Core i5 Flash Player: WIN 10,1,53,64

When using Firefox certain videos play but the image is green and distorted. The image turns into lines and sometimes it half of the screen of the video. Examples are streaming MLB.tv video and some vimeo videos. The odd thing is that it isn’t all Vimeo videos. Is this a flash issue?

The issue does not happen with Internet Explorer which leads me to believe this is an issue with Firefox. I downgraded to 3.5 and the issue still persists.

Do this: turn OFF all toolbar view from the view menu, with the Menu toolbar the last one. Problem: cannot find any UI to turn it back, stuck with a bare window, except the tab list.

Ok, big prob! Placed a listing on ebay with html created with WYSIWYG Web Builder 7. Everything shows fine on eBay in IE8 but not in FF; my business info(everything from HTML file) shows as a VERY small scroll box just above questions and answers(Q&A not related, just giving a location so u can locate). I'm sure it might have something to with the html file but don't know what to adjust, etc. I can send that file as well but don't see a file attachment button here. FYI: Was using FF ver 3.6.8., downgraded to 3.5.11 to see if that helped.....nope.

currently i cannot enter websites, when there is an address in the URL bar, and when i press enter it will not work.

ive tested this with FF 3.6.6 and IE 7 and also Chrome, and i dont have the same problem.

i also couldnt seem to find a link to report this as a beta tester >_>

How can ensure that Firefox does NOT block the essential tracking codes used by cash-back sites? I gather that certain advert-blocking software also block the tracking codes that cash-back sites use to track subscribers' purchases. This would prevent the cash-back site from registering the subscriber's purchases, with the result that the purchaser (in my case myself) would lose out on the rebates that they have earned. I do not know whether Firefox blocks these by default, but could someone please let me know whether it does. And if Firefox does block these by default, how do I ensure that it does not? One cash-back site I subscribe to (specifically GreasyPalm) tells me I have earned only so much cash back so far, when my cash-back earned so far should be much more: they seem not to have tracked any of my ebay purchases, nor many purchases from other bone fide retailers whose sites I have accessed via the GreasyPalm links (also bone fide, I must emphasise). Any reassurance or advice most gratefully appreciated.

This happened

Not sure how often

== If it is an issue with Firefox, then it started as soon as I started using cash-back sites

Firefox completely closes when I am done with a website. I then have to reopen Firefox for each website I want to go to.

I get about 10 error message boxes whenever I click on a link that takes me away from Outlook Web App. Here is the error:

I cannot install Firefox on a Win XP Pro computer. Proxy server will not allow Internet access until Firefox is running. Microsoft Internet Explorer cannot go through the Proxy (too complicated to put details here). I need a binary install cor XP Pro that can completely install Firefox without an Internet Connection.

Not sure how often

== "Not sure how often" is N/A. Can't install Firefox. Proxy will not allow Internet access until after Firefox installed. MSIE does not work with Proxy Server.

Whenever I am using firefox ( daily) it seems to use up a huge amnount of memory. It uses so much that loading pages slows to a crawl, and so do any other applications I am using. This happens even if I have only 2, or even 1 tab open. I am pretty sure I don't have any viruses-- although I admit I suppose this is possible--

but why would firefox be using this much memory/ space?

== a while now..

firefox crashes about 10 times per day. it doesn't seem to matter what sites i'm on. most of the time there is an error in reporting. i like firefox but it's becoming a big enough hassle that i'll have to stop using it if this continues.

Fire Fox updates itself even after I tell it not to. The new version it updates to crashes, adobe flash player doesn't work on it and it takes forever to load when it does work. I have used fire fox for years now but if this keeps up I will find something else to use.

I'm using and old dell inspiron 2600 with verizon broadband which i really don't need. i only use pc to surf the net for news & research & the occasional email. i hardly use the phone at all and would like to cancel this landline and use a newer product like a tablet or smart phone with wireless capability that would reduce my monthly phone/broadband bill of about $90. any suggestions would be much appreciated. tony nj

Tried various solutions without success. My library (bookmarks) is empty and I cannot find the files you mention under my finder/ librarly / application support / Firefox (missing, but Mozilla exists, but it doesn't have the files you mention).

Firefox widows update 3.6.8 showed size 11.0 MB from firefox auto update. I am on high speed internet connection and normally it took just seconds to update firefox but this time, it took 45 minutes to finish downloading. While it was downloading, I did my internet speed test. It was at 4MB/sec. I later check firefox website, the 3.6.8 file size should be 8 MB. I don't know if my firefox update download is legit. Although, after installation, the new version seem worked file. Any suggestions?
