Firefox Support Forum

I upgraded to FF4 and it locked up on my Vista desktop. Unfortunately, fire FTP also got upgraded to the version that's compatible to 4 and now I can't find the fire FTP version that's compatible with 3.6 which I reverted to. I need this utility.

On Firefox 4, how can I put one "new tab" on the "tab bar" (The + sign) and one next to the "back/forward" buttons (as in FF 3.6)?

In my current Firefox, the "new tab" icon/item from the "customize" pop-up window menu of items is placed next to my home, back, forward buttons near the top-left of my header (Button 1 for "new tab"). Then, the tab bar automatically come with a small tab (with a + sign) to the right of your last tab opened (so you click on + and a new tab opens. Button 2 for "new tab"). I like to have this "new tab" button twice (as a + mini tab, and next to my "home icon".

When I upgraded to Firefox 4, I seemed to be only able to "customize" or use the "new tab" in one place. Either as an icon next to home button, or as a "+ minitab", but NOT both.

What can I do to put this button in Firefox 4 on BOTH places???

Your help is really appreciated. I want to upgrade, but I want my buttons on both places...

I upgraded to FF 4, but downgraded again just because this feature... that's just me of coarse :-)

Up until a couple of days ago, I always received pictures embedded in the emails (photos being sent & jokes containing pictures). Now they don't show up. If I use internet explorer to open these emails the pictures are there. How can I correct this problem?

I have a free visitor counter (by easycounter.com) on my website. It has been working fine in both Firefox (3.6.16) and MS Internet Explorer. Yesterday, I noticed it no longer works with Firefox but still fine with MS IE. Earlier in the week I did download a few add-ons recommended by Firefox. Can anyone advise what the problem might be and how to fix it? The code for the counter is still intact on my page at www.qsl.net/ve3bdb. Thanks in advance. Incidentally, the page now takes forever to load when using MS IE, but I don't know if that's related.

I have entered different settings for my home page, opening window etc but each time Firefox opens it's stuck on the same problem and asks if it should Restore or Start New Session, never starting up with my new options.

thx for any info

I installed FF4 when the final version was released, and, like many other users, i find the new UI very frustrating.

I managed to deal with the tabs, the menu and the status bar. But i can't cope with the navigation bar. Not only i want to rearrange the buttons to make them ordered like before, but also i'd like to see them look like before. Not these Chrome/Safari-like one-color buttons, but the pretty blue-ish buttons i have in FF 3.6.x. Also, i'd like to have 'Reload' and 'Stop' buttons separated, as they were before.

So, is there a way to make FF4 look like i want it to, or the only way is to stay on FF3.6 (which i already reverted to)?

Thanks

PS: all this is about the Windows Vista version, since i hardly know how FF looks on another OS'es.

All of a sudden today, when I click on the new tab button (the+) it will not open a tab. It worked fine yesterday. I tried to open a new tab out of the File menu - no luck. Also I tried ctrl-t, again no luck. I can't upgrade to 4 yet because my antivirus is not supported.

Firefox 3.6.16 and SeaMonkey 2.0.13 yesterday stopped displaying webpage background color. Everything is white. This text box has such a faint grey line around it that I didn't know it was there. Every webpage I look at has the same issue. Bing works correctly. IE got corrupted a month ago and I've stopped using it. My Windows 7 programs, Outlook, Word, Excel changed their color settings and some icons, Print & Paste, on the toolbars are larger like 1995 quality.

It pops up whenever I scroll over a word and translates it to russian giving, what I think, are russian synonyms. Very annoying, distracting, and sometimes makes a simple task much more difficult.

When I go to click to open a new tab, it doesn't open. If I do ctrl+T it won't open a new tab. If I go to file and select new tab it won't open a new tab. The only way it will open a new tab is if I right click on a link somewhere on the page and click new tab. It's bizarre.

And while I'm at it, I went to download firefox 4.o it came up with an error page so I can't download firefox again...

I cannot seem to open new tabs when using firefox. I have tried clicking on the new tab button, right clicking and selecting new tab and have tried File, new tab and none of them will produce a new tab. However if I click on a website link in the current tab it will open a new tab. It just seems to be when I want to manually open a tab.

The problem is that when I start firefox it is buzy for an minute or two then I can start the task. in the mean time it has added numberous of bookmark on pages i`ve never visited. It can be as many as 100 bookmarks at the time(!)

very annoying and it destroying my bookmark bar completely, any help appreciated

i cannot open a new (empty) tab. i did not change any settings. however as i said although i can open a new tab with a link, without a link i cannot open a new(empty) tab.
