One icon that appears is the one prompting to move it into the applications folder, along the blue one (flat box shaped, with the white Firefox icon, and a slot in the front, on the right side of the screen). I can't get these to stop reappearing.

== I first downloaded the most recent Firefox (3.6.8)

I would like to make it so that my browsing history cannot be cleared or is saved to another folder automatically. I would like to make it so that you have to have a password to clear the history.

As the title says, Firefox crashes exactly once per day. I always find it when I come home from work, which can be anywhere from 8 to 10 PM. It is every single day, not just occasional. More specifically, the Firefox window is missing and all that remains is the generic "Visual C++ Runtime Library" crash box.

My system is a fairly new machine. I just built it earlier this year.

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 black edition (quad core overclocked from 3.2 to 4.1 GHz) Motherboard: Asus M4A785-M RAM: 3 GB DDR2 Video: Zotac GeForce 9800 GT OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (dual boot with Debian Lenny, but the crash is just in Windows)

I know the first thing that stands out there is that overclock, but it's unrelated. I suspected it causing an issue at first, so I ran it at stock specs for 3 days. It still crashed Firefox daily. I believe the system itself is quite stable, I never have problems with other software. My FF version is up to date, although it's been doing this for the past 3 or 4 releases. The only add-ons I have installed are DownloadHelper and Flash Player, but it still crashes if I disable them.

This one's got me kind of stumped. Does anybody have any clue what could be triggering this? It doesn't matter what tabs I have open either, in case anybody was wondering. One day, just to test that I closed Firefox before I left in the morning, then opened it back up with only one tab: google.com ....... still crashed by the time I got back home.

I upgraded my firefox browser and since the upgrade I cannot find or reinstall my bookmarks toolbar. I have tried reinstalling firefox but nothing has brought it back.

Okay I go under tools then options then go to content and I don't have the box to enable java, I have uninstalled and reinstalled fire fox multiple times and I still don't have that box and I can't play a lot of games due to this, I have gone to the Java website and downloaded that as well but it is still not working. Please help!

== I updated to the newest version of Fire fox

Although I have chosen to delete cookies upon exit, I would like to keep certain cookies. Is there a way to specify which cookies to keep on exit and which ones to clear?

This started August 1. When I call support with Cablelynx, they are able to see the compose feature. When I go thru Outlook Ex, which I do not particularly want to do, it is all as it should be. Also to sign off I have to click on the "Firefox did not allow page to load" and when I hit ok it signs me out.

For the past few days I have had an 'Important update' message from Mozilla popping up on my PC. When I finally actioned it today, it installed an older version of Firefox (3.0.19) than that already on my PC!!! The final part of the install opened Firefox on a 'security warning' page instructing me that I was now using an outdated version and to install v3.6.8 instead. I verified by using a different route to the official Mozilla site that 3.6.8 was indeed the latest version and I'm almost certain that I had been using it before the 'update' to v3.0.19, and have now reinstalled it. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a security breach or what?

I downloaded a program called Softronic by mistake. On instalation a Malware warning appeared. I have used various means of uninstalling Softronics. But it now always appears on the startup page of Firefox instead of Firefox. How can I get Softronic off the Firefox page?

every time firefox updates, it tries to load norton safesearch and yahoo toolbar. Can I get rid of those permanently rather than having to deal with it with every update?

Two sites, one is my bank web access site. I enter my bank card number and password and hit DONE and nothing happens as though the button has been disabled. This also happened on this computer with ABE BOOKS and it wouldn't allow me to complete a transaction. I can access my bank through Firefox on a different computer. I've tried upgrading Firefox and several reboots and accessing the bank site through a different route by googling it rather than my bookmark.

URL of affected sites

I hid my navigation bar, bookmarks bar, stumbleupon bar, and menu bar to make the internet showing screen larger, and i cannot get any of the bars back now. I tried right clicking, but all that does is ask me if I want to open a new tab.

== i closed the different bars at the top of the screen.

When I open a new tab, I get Yahoo Search. I want a nice blank page.

== I started using Firefox 3.6

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8 lost every addon, bookmark and history. Chatted with Tech Suppor Online but solutions are very complicated for me. I guess I will just have to give up on what was a very fine browser but now is worthless.

I'm on Firefox 3.6.8. I know that they're not bookmarks. I've of course highlighted them, and deleted with the DEL key, but when I type them in they come back. I deleted places.sqlite, I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled. It was fine for a few minutes, but then the entire history came back. What can I do to get rid of it?

Oh, and switching it to only showing Bookmarks or Nothing doesn't seem to work
