Firefox Support Forum

I have videodownloadhelper add-on installed. Videos downloaded by the help of it cannot be paused. Additionally, my firefox eventually pauses itself in between downloads so I've to right-click on downloading file and select Pause then again right-click and select Resume to proceed with download. But now video downloading is paused and with right-click there Pause option is greyed out simply being unavailable. How do I sort out this strange problem?

Several months ago, my smallest window size was less than 2 * 2 inches. Then for no reason, the smallest size became about 2*2 inches. This was larger than I wanted but couldn't figure out why the change occurred or how to change it. So I learned to live with it.

Yesterday (12/19/13) when I logged into Firefox, the minimum size became 4*2 inches. This is too wide for me for many of the views that I want. I have not updated Firefox or Java recently. I don't know why this change occurred and would like to know how to redefine the minimum size window on Firefox.

The minimum size window for my IE browser and my Chrome browser is still 2*2. So the problem with the minimum 4*2 window is with Firefox only.

I'm working with a DELL Desktop DV051 with XP operating system 2002 Service Pack 3; 2.79 GHz; 1.99 GB Ram; Avast security

I have Firefox 26.0 installed (though this has happened in previous versions). I have been through all the previous questions about this problem, but none match what I'm seeing. It's happening to others accessing my web site. I have a sample web page that I have up that presents the problem at http://flory.net/gabl/docx.htm.

When I click on the link on the above page (an office 2007 word document .docx), I get a page of gibberish as though it downloads the file as a text document. I've been through all the steps I could find in support to fix this to no avail, including resetting all defaults, etc. .doc works great, but I cannot find anything in the Options/Applications that will allow me to modify/add info to handle neither .doc nor .docx.

I go to tools>add-ons to enable, disable, or manage add-ons. This goes to the Firefox Add-ons site and not to a screen that shows thhe add-ons installed, enabled, or disabled. It seems to happen when I cannot stop persistent actions from an add-on.This condition has happened twice. How do I do this correctly? Is it possible that some add-ones disable this feature. It is a hassle to reset firefox to deal with removing an add-on.

i have tried disabling addons, reinstalling firefox with and without my original settings but it still does it however in safe mode it doesnt do it, it is quite noticable in face book but it also does it on other text things including the pluggins how to remove page

I can not get Java to run. I have tried uninstalling and cleaning the registry and reinstalling. I still get the message that Java is not installed when I go to the website. On the addons page I have always asked as the option yet I am never asked to run Java. If I use Chrome at that website Java runs without any problem. I have the latest version of Java installed.

Yahoo Mail is asking me to add an application (a Yahoo Mail app) for "mailto" links. I don't want it. Closing the notification works for as long a refresh, which means I'd be forever closing the notification, thus I want to disable the notification in about:config but what exactly do I need to disable?

Update. Here is someone with a similar problem: http://superuser.com/questions/363827/how-can-i-disable-add-application-for-mailto-links-bar-in-firefox

I am unable to access my GlobeInvestor Streaming Quotes (http://finserv.globeinvestor.com/fcclient8/mainframe.htm) via GlobeInvestorGold.com. When I click on the "Tracker" link on the GlobeInvestor Gold website to access my streaming quotes, I get a pop up with an error stating:

Name: fccapp Location: http://finserv.globeinvestor.com Your security settings have blocked an untrusted application from running.

I have restarted Firefox numerous times. I have reset Firefox. I have re-installed Java a few times and I have also updated all plugins. I am running Firefox on my MacBook Pro. If you could provide any assistance, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much in advance.

Hi all,

When at eBay.com using FireFox 26.0, looking at a specific list, hitting the back button returns you the top of the previous page rather than correctly returning you to where you had to scrolled section of the previous page.

In other words, if looking at an item 1/2 way down the list of items and clicking on a an item to view that specific listing, hitting the back button returns you back to the top of the listings vs. returning you to where you were prior to clicking on the specific item 1/2 down the list of items. You then have to scroll down the list or rather, start your search of the page of listings again from the top rather than continuing your search where you left off.

Is there a quick fix? I have experienced this before on new Firefox releases but not recently.

Thanks...

Neil

My cursor defaults to the top left and I want it to default to the top right When I ask the question how do I change this, the answers have NOTHING to do with cursors and don't come close to answering the question How do I change the default cursor position?

I have a security camera that records video clips in .mov format. I use Firefox to access the camera's server, which lists the movie files available for download. Each time I select a link, a popup window asks me if I want to Open with "The KMPlayer (default)" or download, and the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." box is grayed out.

I spent 30 minutes researching this and have tried editing the .mov line in Firefox's applications settings and tried an add-on, but neither made any difference.

I am reviewing 20-30 files each morning and it is very annoying to click OK every time I want to watch the video, when it seems that Firefox should automatically open the video player on its own.

I see this problem whenever I open mozilla firefox even though it is the n'th time I start it in the same session. I don't see this problem with internet explorer though!

Have used MF for years, liked it. Then today rec'd message to upgrade to new version. I did: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/ It sucks BIG TIME. There's no box to enter word/phrase search, and WAY too much product promotion. All I want is a simple to use search engine that has a box to enter in word/phrase searches. Wish now I wouldn't have "upgraded".

Several times I've accidentally clicked on a link that takes me to http://fbi.gov.id281381365-2647936272.v167621.com/?flow_id=5594&730856=60962/case_id=27075 (Do not follow this link, except in a separate tab, as the only way to get away from it is to kill Firefox.) I'd like to report this as an attack site so that Firefox can block it, but don't know how.

After reading the possible solution "reset Firefox", I did that but this unwanted popup continues to appear asking for saving or opening. What can I do ? This only happens with Firefox , not with Chrome ! Thanks for your answer, I would like to keep Firefox.

Hey. I'm having a rather odd problem where Firefox hangs for about ten seconds while loading the default home page. It has worked just fine for years, and then suddenly yesterday every time I open a new tab or start Firefox (basically anything that would take me to the start page,) I get a 10-15 second hang. I've confirmed this by changing the homepage to the old "http://www.google.com/firefox" which completely fixes the issue. No other pages do it, only the start page.

I've tried safe mode, but I knew it wouldn't yield any results as I've not changed configuration in any way for years. I've tried updating to the most recent version of Firefox, this also had no effect. I tried backing up my profile and resetting Firefox, of course still no effect. Finally I tried completely uninstalling all Mozilla products, then sweeping the registry for any of their keys, then reinstalling it all. Still hangs on the start page. So that this point I just restored my backed up profiles, scratched my head and came here.

The obvious solution would be to change homepage, but I can't let it beat me. =P

Anyone have any ideas? I'm pretty stumped at this point.

When I open a new tab, I no longer get a blank page. Instead, this link opens automatically. search.conduit.com/?ctid=CT3319766&octid=EB_ORIGINAL_CTID&SearchSource=69&CUI=&SSPV=&Lay=1&UM=2&UP=SPBE0988F4-A2BC-4595-B005-51E70B9E0B94 I did nothing to make this change and I don't recognize it at all. I am concerned that my computer may have a virus, so I will do a scan. How do I remove the above link and make it stop appearing when I open a new tab? I just want a blank page.

This is a continuing problem that Firefox has had almost since it's inception. I have used it for years and this continues with every update, regardless of all the Mozilla assurances that it has FINALLY fixed the memory leak issue. It is now using almost 1G every time I use it. I DO NOT WANT TO USE FIREFOX IN SAFE MODE OR WITHOUT THE ADDONS! That is the main point of using this browser in the first place and if I have to use it without all of it's functions, why use it at all?! I have been loyal but your continuing pattern of ignoring or pretending to fix this issue shows a complete lack of concern or respect for your customers. Fix it or I am gone.

Anyone with a problem

Please update to the latest version of Firefox.
If you need help OR insist on using an older version of Firefox please see my post under
Thank you

I am so fed up with the error message that adobe flash plugin has crashed. You have had two years to fix this problem and all your suggested solutions do not work. I cannot see any alternative but to go back to Internet Explorer. It is so frustrating when I am checking my emails and click on a link to get the same message over and over again. Why is it that this problem only happens with Firefox? It does not happen with Internet Explorer and it does not happen with Google Chrome. Otherwise Mozilla Firefox is great.
