Windows 8 seems to be running on two systems - the desktop (which is just like windows 7), and the start page. Is there a way to integrate Firefox into the start page system? It does open it, but closes out the the desktop. (We are longtime Firefox users, and don't want to use IE, so will just work around it, but it just seems a little disjointed.)

I'm not getting a user name & password prompt when visiting an internal company website on version 35.0.1

We use Samsung Galaxy Tab 2's and 4's with LTE modems at my office. We have an internal company website users were able to access using Firefox for Android v 19.0.2 for sure. We chose Android due to its proxy support. We recently updated to 35.0.1 and the users no longer receive the prompt for their company credentials, it just goes straight to a page stating "You are not authorized to view this page," which is what they would get if they put in bad credentials normally. I've attached screen shots showing what the user should see and what they're getting now.
I have tried Firefox Beta with the same results. Firefox Aurora responds like it should, but that's obviously a ways off from a proper release and honestly, I'm not sure exactly what it is.
I'm going to continue testing on older versions to see where it broke, but I don't think I'm able to Push out an older version to install over the newer version to our tablets.
Thanks for any help/insight.

I use Firefox as my preferred browser. I have been using Firefox 35 and recently updated to 36. Yahoo! Mail is my email provider. Every day, for weeks, when I first boot up my computer, when I open Yahoo! Mail and login, Yahoo! Mail freezes. To get it to unfreeze, I have to hold down CTRL and ALT and press DEL, more than once, to get to the screen where I can choose to enter Task Manager. Instead, when I click on CANCEL, Yahoo! Mail unfreezes. This only happens when I boot up the computer and try to log into Yahoo! Mail fresh.
I have read both Firefox and Yahoo! suggestions for eliminating what might be the causing problem: clearing the cache, deleting cookies, disabling add-ons, temporarily disabling the anti-virus software (I use AVG), etc.. None of them have worked. I have read both Firefox problem solver and Yahoo! problem solver comments stating the problem is the other service. I do see that others who use IE, Chrome, and Safari have had similar problems with Yahoo! Mail.
I am tired of this. What can be done to fix this problem? I have also posted my problem for Yahoo! Mail problem solvers.

I use Mozilla Thunderbird on my MacBook. But the Trash folder has disappeared. Consequently, when I delete messages, they disappear. Where, I do not know... The problem is: Sometimes, I change my mind and want to take another look at messages I recently trashed. I can't do that now, because they disappear the moment I click delete. Oops: I just realized, it seems like the messages are stored on the Thunderbird account on my telephone! The trash file there is full. No wonder my phone is slow... My question is: How do I find the hidden Trash folder on my Mac?

I just installed Thunderbird, but it's been a waste of time. Whoever is managing this gig is obviously sabotaging the whole deal. The UI font is a core component and I strain to read it, further I need to learn to find, install and learn to use an add-on, just to adjust font size. I can see why font size is prevented by default as UI is not responsively designed and looks worse when font is increased. The whole experience feels like I've gone back a few decades, from minority report to MS DOS. I just can't believe this isn't even a bug, feels like a joke.
Firefox blocks access to auto-hidden Windows 7 task bar

1. FF is not in full-screen mode. 2. Resetting Firefox works; however, it is a p.i.t.a.; it is only temporary; and it represents a horrible UX practice. 3. I'm not aware of any other program with this behavior. I can ALT+TAB to any other program and access the auto-hidden task bar as expected. 4. The forum posts suggest "resetting" (#2), "getting out of full-screen mode" (#1), deleting some kind of preference file, etc. As one poster pointed out, there are no real solutions out there. The real solution would be for this bug to be fixed. Programs should not take over the entire screen, nor block any OS functionality, unless specifically and explicitly configured that way by the user.
I'm on Windows 7, using FF 35.0.1. I've been using Firefox since it was available, and I'm relatively certain that it did not always behave this way. It seems that within the past ~2 years this bug was introduced.

the new hello feature looks like it could be a great tool, but it would be even nicer if the person i wish to link up to did not need a mic or camera?
is there any way, or plans to include a way in the future to have the video "chat" be essentially "one way".
there are many times that being able to show a part to a customer, and how it interfaces with the rest of the system, would be a GREAT help.
the customer is normally already on the phone, or could be.
the vast majority of our client base does not have a camera or mic on their computer.

Downloaded FireFox and within the download/install process was asked 3/4 questions pertaining to adding a file to my download within the installation of FireFox. After selecting NO and completed update etc. I noticed certain pop-ups, so I went to "options" and discovered one of the files I selected NO on was there. Removed it or disabled it and it still ran along with another one I could only locate within my Windows 32 system folder. That was given certain permissions and restricted me the pc owner. What's up with that? So, my questions is does the new FireFox download ask specific questions about allowing, signing up for, receiving information etc. during the download and install process? If so is there a way I can download an older version perhaps?

Quite often when I click Thunderbird's "Get Messages" button, things don't work. I do usually get the notes at the bottom of the window saying, "Connecting to [mail server]..." and then, immediately, "Connected to [mail server]..."--but then nothing, until a minute and a half later when the note disappears entirely (and still no downloads). But then sometimes I don't even get those notes at the bottom. A little while later things may return to normal, except for the last couple of days when no downloads at all from this mail server have succeeded--not even automatically when Thunderbird starts up. I can always go directly to my email account via Firefox without any delay, but I do like Thunderbird. This has been going on occasionally for months, but it has been getting worse lately. Restarting Thunderbird or rebooting the computer doesn't seem to help. Outgoing mail works properly, so I guess the Account Settings are OK.
The same behavior with two of my other Thunderbird accounts (from the same mail server), but not with a third (from a different server)--that works fine.
Oh, and when the set periodic time comes to automatically download new messages, "No messages to download" appears at the bottom note area--just like it does when the computer wakes up from a sleep and has not yet automatically reconnected to the Internet.

for instance there is a link i found in that webm audio wont work. "https://volafile.io/get/FI2GPql8VEVyiQ/Pigeon.webm" this issue seems on and off i have yet to find more videos but this has been going on with other online webm and possibly mp4... i don't recall right now. just webm comes first. most videos that contain audio will play in the embedded player with no problems. however some others will not play audio at all. it doesn't stop there. you know that new facebook voice message that came out? it doesn't work either. it wont play at all. it will however play on opera 12.17 but not firefox 36 or waterfox 36.0 or even chrome. it seems firefox and chrome are the only browsers who share this issue. firefox will also not play this "http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/orange" i mean the pronunciation of the word orange. i also tried some other online dictionaries with the pronunciation audio thing and they too will not play. for both this firefox and chrome. i do realize this is not chrome support but i am just trying to give as much detailed information so i can fix this. it has been quite annoying. the only other way to play the audio in the webm is to download it. i think this is a html5 issue? since facebook and those dictionaries use html5 for that audio? i don't know... it's just a guess. i've tried rebooting, checking the audio properties but it can't be the audio properties? or else the sound wouldn't play in opera. the sounds for that webm i linked and the dictionaries and facebook play fine for the same firefox version on my other computer. this windows is 7 and the other is vista. this started a few months back. around janurary. i uninstalled some programs to try that as a fix. this did not help and nor did these programs have to do with audio or browsers.
i don't know what else to try. there has to be something that is making firefox and chrome not play these types of sounds. some sort of common factor that they both rely on but not opera. can someone please help me? thank you for anyone's time with this matter :)

Hi everyone.
I have a user that is using Thunderbird on an iMac running the latest version of OSX.
Whenever she moves a message from her Thunderbird mail client to a local folder, that message gets stored in the local folder twice or even sometimes, three times.
Can someone please explain why this is happening and what I can do to remedy the situation?
Your help is much appreciated.
Why are web pages smaller on new pc (Windows 8.1) in Firefox 36.0 and how can I fix it?

I have just moved from an old pc running Vista to a new one running Windows 8.1. When I set it up the first thing I did was download the latest version of Firefox. Not sure what version I had on the Vista machine, but this is FF 36.0. Then I synced my FF onto my new pc. I immediately noticed how different it looked and quickly realized that it was because everything is smaller. Not just the font, but every element on the page. On Youtube for instance, actually on this page too, the columns are super narrow and don't fill up the screen. They don't reach the edges of the screen and have gaps in between them, and yes, the fonts are tiny. Zooming in makes everything bigger, but the layout still looks bad, the gaps remain, it's not a solution. I went into windows and tried messing with the resolution and it kind of worked, pages looked slightly better, but weren't back to "normal" AND then all the icons on the FF menu bar (arrows, home button, etc) were big blurry messes. Well, that was worse, so I undid the resolution tweaks and don't really know what to try next. Nothing I have found online really helps me as I am technically challenged and have no idea what a prefconfigdssccdlxeieio is! It also appears that most people had this problem a few years ago. Sorry I'm late, but PLEASE HELP!
