Firefox-Hilfeforum

Hello,

We found that FireFox version 41 with the option privacy.trackingprotection.enabled = true blocking our advertising marketgid.com. An example of a site that hosts our advertising and it does not load: http://petromi.com/get/f3jbTH5b50776070c011

With the option turned off privacy.trackingprotection.enabled = false, advertising marketgid.com displayed. Example: http://petromi.com/get/f3jbUc4a5786b070c011

We would like to know for what reason with the option privacy.trackingprotection is locked our advertising and how to fix it?

Thank you in advance for your help!

I use a program (called AutoIt) that create scripts that fill in all my log-in info at the various sites I regularly visit. In Internet Explorer I created a folder that I put in Favorites that contains shortcuts to all these scripts. When I need one I just click on the folder in Favorites and a drop-down list appears with all my scripts. The reason this works so well is that the scripts know to go to the correct box on the web page and do their thing. If I store these scripts on my desktop I have to rush to place my cursor in the right spot after double-clicking on the shortcut and sometimes I'm not fast enough.

Firefox does not store its bookmarks the same way as IE, which is a pity since it makes manipulating the info in these bookmarks impossible.

Is there any workaround that will permit me to store these shortcuts in a folder that appears in my Bookmarks list? I see I CAN create a folder in Bookmarks, but how can I then stick what I want into it?

IE allows me to drag address bar to another location (up to menu bar or down). I am assuming this it NOT possible in Firefox? Please confirm.

P.S. I'm using Firefox 3.6.12. Cannot upgrade because I'm on dial-up and my web booster does not support later versions of Firefox.

Firefox has a feature to remember my passwords, which is very useful. However, some sites mess with this so they won't save my passwords. In some cases these sites turn "autocomplete" off for the password field in their html; in other cases they appear to use some kind of javascript magic to stop me from saving my passwords.

First of all, why should websites try to stop me from saving my password? Do they really think its more secure if people have to write their passwords on stickynotes on their monitor to remember them--or worse, use the same password on all sites? I what way is it conceivably more secure? In any case it's MY business how I manage my passwords--not theirs!

I have had some success in battling evil sites that try to stop my from saving my passwords by editing the nsLoginManager.js file. But this is not convenient as I must keep doing this every time firefox gets upgraded, and it doesn't work for some sites like American Express which I think use some sort of javascript to stop me from doing what I want.

So my question is, how can I effectively make firefox remember ALL the passwords I want, when _I_ want to--and NOT obey evil websites that just want to practice CYA while actually making me LESS secure?

I have had this problem before, and it was advised that I check my addons, and remove a certain one. I have gone to addons, and don't see anything unusual there. Any suggestions will help.

I use mostly Linux systems, and I can go online with other apps, but when I start using Firefox, my PCs start getting , and returning amazon pings? I hate amazon. I've installed Block Site, but it persist. Some of the Linux firewalls stop it, but some don't. WHY is there no way to block it at the browser??

I have a newly installed DSL Most times when I try to go to a website, I get a message that Firefox can't find it. But it immediately loads when I click on "Try again". It's as though there is not enough time for it to load. Happens often,even with "Yahoo" or "mail".

The second problem is that The computer freezes on some web sites, forcing me to go out of firefox & start again.

Hi, are there two brands of Flash Players, namely, one by Adobe and another by Macromedia/ Shockwave?

It is confusing to read of Adobe Flash issues, as we see on Mozilla's Support Home Page,* while my Plugins list in Add-ons does not have Adobe Flash but does have Shockwave Flash and Shockwave for Director listed as plugins. Please answer the following questions.

A. Does Adobe make both Adobe Flash and Shockwave Flash plugins, and does Adobe Flash Player install either or both? B. Does Adobe make Shockwave for Director? C. What does Shockwave for Director do for Firefox, that is different from Shockwave Flash? D. And, finally, what is Director, anyway? What is Director, that Shockwave is "for," and what does Director do for Firefox?

Firefox opens a new tab every time I click a link. When I click a link, I just want to go there, not open a new tab. This slows my computer, but I can't find an option to fix it in the tools.

I have a website that uses a font that is not a standard "Microsoft" font - I uploaded the font to my computer and it displays just fine in Word and Open Office, but my website does not display it. How do I get FireFox to read the font file I just uploaded? I made certain that it IS available in the Windows\Fonts directory.

I just switched from IE to Firefox. I play games on Face Book but was having problems. Now with Firefox I can get on FB but my games wont load it keeps telling me to update flash but I already have. What am I missing or doing wrong?

I have a site that consistently gives "The connection was reset" every three or four clicks. Refreshing brings the page up fine. Server logs show no errors whatsoever, the hits all show 200 responses with no errors logged by back-end code. This only happens in Firefox. IE, Safari, Opera all work fine.

I've tried clearing cache, cookies, etc.

I've tried reinstalling Firefox.

I've tried reinstalling an older version of Firefox in case it's a recent bug.

I've tried disabling DNS prefetching.

I've tried just about every other remedy I can find on the internet.

Is there any kind of HTML or JavaScript that would cause the browser to throw a fit for no apparent reason?

Thanks.

when opening a new tab the page is blank and I would like to have it open with my home page.

also very frequently firefox does not shut down when logging off. this results in the computer sitting idle using up the battery... using Vista as the OS

I did go to about:config and made the keyword.URL to default (Google). It is not getting affected. Please help me to know how can I set it in Firefox.

I need to remove yahoo search from my Firefox and use the Google search. I did the following steps for the same. about:config, searched keyword:URL and reset to default.

But the change is not getting affected. Pls help

I am currently running Firefox 3.6.12 on Windows XP on an Acer laptop. Adobe Flash Player won't work through Firefox and sites say: "This plugin has been disabled" or "You need the latest Adobe Flash Player"-- I have updated it every time (changing the player version to "Other Browswers"). Flash has proven to work in the past but I'm not sure why it no longer does.

Also, I get this Error every time I open Firefox. I have to attempt to open Firefox 3 times in order for it to finally open because of this error:

getPlusPlus_Adobe_reg.exe - Application Error The instruction at "0x00000000" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminated the program

Flash is however, working on Internet Explorer. I have tried uninstalling every Flash Player and reinstalling it for Firefox. I've resorted to enabling every video type of player on Firefox in an attempt to get videos and games working...

I am sick and tired of firefox reminding me over and over to load the update.I have followed all of the instructions, I can not get it to work.I have the current model apple imac.my system is working fine. I dont want the dam update

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and all of a sudden I cant use the mouse to access the menu items, nor use the right click menus. I can click on button and links with the left button, but right clicking on a link does not bring up the usual menu. I recall this happening in the past, but an exit and restart of the program cleared it up. Reboot are not fixing the problem, nor reinstallation ( after removal).

I have used MS Publisher to create website for my church. Some links will not work in Firefox, but the links work when I test them in MS Pub, they also work when I view the site in IE.
