Firefox-Hilfeforum

firefox keeps remembering a website and won't allow me to log out and will not return to login page. been to cookies, saved password options, says no password is saved but it is. nothing helps

(This issue has been ongoing for several versions now. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and tried safe mode.)

The right click menu, within the menu bar drop down menus, disappears as soon as I move the mouse. Making it impossible to select anything from it.

For example: I click "Bookmarks" in the menu bar and get a drop down window of all my bookmarks. I then mouse over a bookmark and right click to get the drop down menu that will let me "Open", "Open in new Window", "Open in new Tab", etc... As soon as I move the mouse, this menu disappears. I cannot mouse over it to make a selection.

If I don't move the mouse I can use the arrow keys to make a selection and then hit enter.

Any body can help to make the following script visible on Firefox:

<script type="text/javascript">

var delay = 6800; //set delay between message change (in miliseconds)
var maxsteps=30; // number of steps to take to change from start color to endcolor
var stepdelay=55; // time in miliseconds of a single step
//**Note: maxsteps*stepdelay will be total time in miliseconds of fading effect
var startcolor= new Array(255,255,255); // start color (red, green, blue)
var endcolor=new Array(0,0,0); // end color (red, green, blue)

var fcontent=new Array();
begintag='<div style="font: normal 17px Georgia; padding: 7px;">'; //set opening tag, such as font declarations

It is visible on IE; Safary; smart phones.

Thanks in advance

I got an old version of Firefox and I just found out it never updated. When I try to manually update it, it says something like "no updates available"

I know I could just download the newest version of firefox but will it automatically transfer my favorites/apps/history etc into the new version?

Ever since I downloaded the latest version of Firefox, I've been having display issues with my bookmarks toolbar. Whenever I mouse over the last five or six bookmarks, their icons disappear until I reload the page. I cannot access any of the bookmarks that have been disappearing in this way, but the rest of my 40+ bookmarks are fine.

Our business sent out an email campaign that has several links containing Google Analytics tracking code in the URL.

In the tracking code, which is automatically generated via the email campaign software, is an em-dash. The URLs works in every browser (Google Chrome, Safari, Windows) and in older versions of FireFox. They do not work in 3.6.x versions of FireFox in both Mac and Windows.

As a result, when customers click on a link in the email, they get a page that says "HTTP Error 400 - request is badly formed" because FireFox interprets the em-dash as garbage.

Once this error occurs none of the pages in the site can be accessed unless a specific cookie is removed.

Seeing how many people do not know how to clear cookies - it is especially cryptic in the Windows version of FF 3.6.10 - what are the chances that there will be a release of Firefox to remedy this problem? And is there anything else that could be done?

When I try to enter my user ID & password into certain sites, I get the message: Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. - and 400 Bad Request appears on the tab. This seemed to have begun occurring around the time I disabled most of my plug-ins to troubleshoot another problem I was having. Enabling the plug-ins again did not help this new problem. I've just uninstalled ff, dumped my profile, reinstalled and still have the same problem! Any help out there?

anything printed with firefox prints too small. If I print and email it prints in the center top of the page and is just larger than a credit card. if I adjust the scale to 100% the it prints what could fit on one page onto 4 pages and prints a small portion in the center top of the page and is just larger than a credit card.

I need to be able to dynamically slow down (throttle) the speed with which my firefox downloads content. There are thousands of google links to an extension that seems to do exactly what I want: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5917/ However this is now a dead link. Why?

Is there a replacement?

Every time I open a new tab it defaults to Yahoo search engine page. I hate this. I want a BLANK page as in earlier versions of firefox, or I want ability to customize tab (set website of my choice). How can I remove Yahoo from being the default page when I open a new TAB, and set my default tab website of choice.

Does yahoo own Firefox? If so I will install another browser all together.

when asking mozilla to check for updates for plugins, receive

Plugin Finding Service Error

We've encountered an error. Please try your request again later.

My cursor has started to disappear whenever firefox is open. I noticed this just today, where no matter what application I was in, if firefox was open the cursor would disappear after about a second when not being moved (very very quickly after it stops moving). This ONLY happens when firefox is open, and just started on Sept 24-2010.

I have looked through the windows settings and made sure that the "have mouse cursor disappear wen typing" is turned off, and I've reinstalled the most current driver for the mouse I'm using. This does not occur when using either Google chrome or Flock.

Has anyone else had an issue like this?

Gets mail access through thunderbird, but cannot get browser access through FireFox. Since the friend does not have access through the browser any longer he cannot even get to the support forum.

It's only a nuisance, but becomes aggravating after several repeated occurrences while I am trying to work on sometning. My statement: Why does my "Plug-Ins" window keep popping up every time I open Firefox??? sums up and totally describes the issue.
