Firefox 36 now insists I use Yahoo search by constantly changing my default search engine choice. No matter now many times I set it for Google, I'll search for something and it's Yahoo again. I've unchecked Yahoo in the search preferences, hoping it won't show up again. Have restarted Firefox several times. No luck.

Is my last resort to REMOVE Yahoo search from my list of search engines to keep this from happening? I MIGHT want to use it sometime later, but not every day.

ALSO. If this matters, When I populated this question with "installed plugins" information about my Mac and Firefox, a blank one appeared, so I went to tools > add-ons. That screen appeared for a second and instantly blipped away to another screen: DNS Yahoo Error Handler that had "developer garmin communicator plugin icon" filled in in the search request area. My web experience is being taken over by Yahoo now?

I received a "how to" sheet of how to be able to view this website but it wants me to download Internet Explorer (excuse me while i say yuck!)...

So the directions state: Under "Tools" click on "compatibility view settings". Where is says "add this website" write in the website and then click add and close. Log off and reboot.

I live on Mozilla on all my devices. I recommend it to anyone who has not been introduced yet. I cringe to think of being forced to use internet explorer!!!

Thank you for all you do!!!

Since updating to Firefox 36.0 (OS 10.9.5), PDFs no longer preview in Firefox: I'm prompted to download and save them -- even though in Firefox Preferences, the default selection reads: Preview in Firefox. Help, please.

see <https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/about/legal/terms/firefox-hello/>

There appears to be a typo in Section 3 on this page, as indicated below. This is presumably a legal document so one would imagine this might have some implications unless it is correct, or were it to be corrected. "3. Features The Service is provided to you in collaboration with TokBox, Inc. (ToxBox is also referred to in this document as a licensor)."

I have found since the recent update that the browser has developed several problems. It has become extremely slow and crashes multiple times per-day. Coupled with this, the flash plug-in also crashes constantly and video buffering is slow and unstable. I have made sure flash is up to date and I have also followed suggested fixes in other threads (ie. disabling hardware acceleration) to no avail.

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.

I am trying to access a secure site for my online school. At home, both my desktop and my lap top come up with the page "Server not found" upon attempting to log in. ALL other websites are working fine. On public wifi at a coffee shop, the website works fine. I asked my school's IT about this, and the told me to speak to my ISP (CenturyLink). I did, and they were not able to give me a solution and referred me back to my school's IT department. I know it is not an issue with the school's website, since it worked fine on a different network. I have also tried to load the website on Chrome and IE, and none of them will let me log onto the site on my home network.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Youtube pages viewed in Firefox (36.0.1) on my Mac Mini running OSX 10.9.5 display some, but not all, of the text in Chinese. Pages display correctly in Safari and Chrome. I have reinstalled and refreshed Firefox with no change.

Changing View/Character Encoding to Western changes the display to English characters, but the words are gibberish.

See attached screenshots.

YouTube website looks completely different and won't play any videos. Asks me for an application to play videos which it shouldn't do.

I took a screenshot but your image upload feature is not working. Little wheel spun around endlessly and never uploaded). So I will have to describe it.

YouTube looks like a cheap website with little thumbnails of the videos in a column along the left side of the screen with horizontal lines separating them. If you try to play a video you get a little box that says "This link needs to be opened with an application". Adobe Media Player launches but will not play anything. QuickTime won't launch at all, says file not compatible. But this is irrelevant, it should not require another application to play YouTube videos.

I re-downloaded Firefox and reinstalled. But to no avail. Won't open links in web pages. Can do it in Safari. will download Chrome. But if I can't fix this, I will have to abandon Firefox.

i upgraded firefox version to 36.0.4 in maverick . it asks for separate login to gmail-chat though i am already logged in gmail. it logs out my account automatically after few minutes. not only in gmail, but from facebook also. should i go with older version or what to do ?

I accepted your latest update for OSx last night. When it competed, my whole Firefox profile was changed: Add-ons gone Preferences changed Customized toolbars stripped to basic Extensions etc., menus, search engines, other toolbar stuff ...

ALL GONE!!! WTF??

HOW CAN YOUR SOFTWARE SCREW ITSELF UP AND AS A RESULT SCREW UP THE USER'S INVESTMENT IN BUILDING THE FIREFOX SETUP? AND NOW I HAVE TO TAKE MY TIME TO FIGURE OUT HOW TOO FIX IT??? I HATE WASTING TIME WHEN YOU (AND OTHER SOFTWARE PROVIDERS) DESTROY THE INVESTMENT WE HAVE ALREADY MADE AND BECAUSE OF YOUR UNILATERAL LANDMINES INCLUDED IN "UPDATES", WE USERS HAVE A BIG F*CKING HEADACHE TO TRY TO GET BACK TO FUNCTIONING AS FROM BEFORE THE "UPDATE" .... GEEZ ... ARE YOU TRYING TO HELP US OR HURT US?? IF IT'S THE LATTER, JUST LET ME KNOW SO I DON'T WASTE ANY MORE TIME AND WILL GO USE CHROME OR SAFARI OR ANY OTHER BROWSER NOT "UPDATED" SO AS TO SABOTAGE ME AND OTHER USERS.

SOMEONE THERE PLEASE RESPOND ASAP. THANK YOU.

I'm using a 2010 Mac OSX 10.9.4 Mavericks, I just updated Firefox and when I try to search for a word on a tab with Cmd +F (would be Ctl +F on Windows) nothing comes up. Other areas have said to use F3 now, but that doesn't work either, and neither does fn+F3. I don't want to download an app to fix this because they all seem to be large and bulky to use, rather than the small bar at the bottom, which I liked.

The support forum seems well designed overall, but I wish there was an "undo" button for the "I have this problem too" button. I am constantly clicking on this button by accident, and there seems to be no undo. It distorts what problems are truly important, and is confusing. Maybe just a button next to the option to receive email updates?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, please let me know if it isn't.

Hello.

When opening/focusing the "Find in page" field (Cmd + F), my clipboard content is automatically pasted in the field. Is there any way to get rid of it? about:config? Plugin? Voodoo? I can't remember which version of Firefox introduced this behavior but today I can't stand it anymore, I hate this stuff.

Thank you.

Hello!

I'm testing a security flag in Firefox's config that will let my ignore HSTS certificate settings, but it doesn't actually seem to do that. I've triggered a certificate error from facebook.com, and attempted to set security.cert_pinning.enforcement_level to 0 as shown in the image to ignore the warning, but it won't anyway. I know that facebook.com is a protected domain (https://code.google.com/p/chromium/codesearch#chromium/src/net/http/transport_security_state_static.json), but I was hoping that the config change would override the cooked in protection. Can anyone confirm that the list can't be bypassed?

The thing I HATE about computers and computer programs is that they don't let dead dogs lie, ya' know!!? I just want to throw things away but the dang computer just hangs on and on. SO, perfect example, with Firefox if I type one letter into a search window it lists everything I ever looked at, every person, every irrelevant thing I don't want to see or have the computer remember. How do I clear these old searches FOREVER???
