Firefox Support Forum

Why cant you make it more comfortable and easy to use? Firefox is a great program but Its lacking in customization. Personally I think anything that lacks simplicity ,inconveniently lacks quality. How do I fix this without having to change to another browser?

Fire Fox: max HTTP connections value is currently set to low

Internet pages are sent via HTTP protocol Depending on protocol - max number of parallel connections to the same server.

Increase the number of max connection.

How - can't find an answer - I can learn

Thanks

this html/javascript line works on firefox 26 but not on firefox 27

<marquee onMouseOver='this.stop();' OnMouseOut='this.start();'>Hello</marquee>

Why ?

So, my most used action within Firefox was utilizing the middle mouse button in order to open a new tab on a link. Now suddenly after a format on my PC, the middle mouse button refuses to be acknowledged at all by Firefox; can't even hold it down to auto scroll or anything. I want to confirm that the button works on other programs and games with no issues. Using using ctrl/shift+click is not optimal but what I'm doing so far. I'm using the latest version, here's a list of the things I've already tried:

- Checking out all the related about:config's with "middle" as searching field.

- Made a new profile and reset Firefox numerous times

- Disabled/removed addons/extensions

- Wiped and installed Firefox completely - Tried with no addons

- Checked options

So far no luck at all, even tried some other browsers such as aurora & chrome with the same issue essentially.

I've been using the built-in pdf viewer for ages w/out issue. Today for the first time I found I could no longer view the pdf notes for my online Korean classes. Instead a save/download dialogue popped up.

Initially this problem included ALL pdf's that I tried to open in FF. It's been about 6 hours at this point - which is crazy - and I've gone through an extensive amount of troubleshooting methods (not necessarily in this order, aside from the last two):

• Installed Schubert PDF Browser Plugin.
• Disabled the built-in PDF viewer via preferences>applications, and switched to another viewer: schubert ... still got the save box.
• Installed the Adobe PDF plug-in ... could not use (I'm using a Mac os x 10.7+ the adobe plug-in is buggy and not a viable option for me)
• Deleted the mimetypes.rdf file ... no change.
• Launched FF in safemode ... no change.
• Enabled the built in viewer again via preferences>applications>portable document format (pdf)>preview in firefox.
• Checked that 'pdfjs.disabled' was toggled to 'false' in about:config ... It was.
• In about:config I reset 'plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types' to default, then modified the value to: 'video/mp4,application/pdf'
• Deleted the mimetypes.rdf file.
• Re-initialized the plugins database.

The problem continued until I re-initialized my plug-in database and tried deleting the mimetypes.rdf file again and doing another restart.

Now it seems most pdf's are opening fine with the built-in viewer and schubert. However the site which I initially ran into the problem with: http://www.koreanclass101.com will not open pdf's and still opens the save dialogue automatically whenever I click open the pdf links. It also does the same when I enter the pdf directly into the address bar.

I have to pay a subscription so I'm not sure you can access this link without being a student but here it is just in case: www.koreanclass101.com/pdfs/BB_L5_051611_kclass101.pdf

(note this same page also links to another pdf which is not hosted on koreanclass101, and that pdf is now opening fine for me.)

I've tried clearing cache and all cookies for koreanclass101, but even after doing that the problem persists. I'm wondering if the fact that there is Korean text on the PDF matters at all?? Though I'm not sure why it would.

I really need a fix for this! The lessons rely on the ability to switch back and forth from audio to pdf IN my browser. When I open the pdf's with preview and run the interactive lessons in FF at the same time, FF slows to a crawl and starts to hang every time I switch back and forth btwn programs.

When i try to sign in my Gmail account, on the "username" tab all the other gmail accounts are shown on the list too. I wanted to delete them all and doesn't want them to bring up the account even before someone types in. In other words I wanted to delete or clear the username's that pop's up on the username Tab.

http://www.southernpersuasion.com I have maintained this site for years. Recently, rather than post pictures on a photo storage provider and post them to facebook, I have posted them to facebook and then linked to them from this site (select the Pictures link). When I click on a link, I get a blank page in the frame. When I right click on the link and select Open New Tab, or Open New Window it comes up. I don't think I've messed up the html... in fact, I think I just changed the links from previous entries that were actually linked to PhotoBucket or the like. What is wrong, and how can I fix it? Thanx.

An ad "popup" has injected itself into Foxfire. Bottom left corner of browser window is populated with an ad window. It floats the screen. With Google it seems to work but under Bing it stalls and scripts crash. Often the crashing browser. It's not an addon or extension but the net does have info on how to remove a similar addon. Perhaps their first version of this more malicious item. McAfee and ClamXAV don't see it. The only way to actually even identify it's source is to look at the Page Info, Media and look at the image locations. This article seems to describe the identical problem I've experience but no posted solution. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18540776/shopping-guide-onlines-com-superfish-com-injected-script-into-firefox

After upgrading to the new version, 27.0.1, my right-click function to Open link in New Tab stopped working. I cannot open in new window either. When I click the link that I would like to open in new tab or window, the right click window appears, I click on the desired function, and the right click window closes and nothing happens.

I have also noticed that there are many additional functions that now appear on the right-click window, eg.

Play, Pause, Mute, Unmute, etc. Reload image, View Image, View Video, etc. This Frame, View Selection Source, etc.

They could have been there but I do not remember these functions available before. They may have been BUT it may just be the case of not really noticing them because everything worked and now that I can't open new tabs/windows, I now notice them. Not sure if this is related to the issue or not. I have the following extensions running:

ColorZilla 2.6.4.1 Dictionary.com 2.0.0 Firebug 1.8.4 InstantFox 2.8.7

I did disable them to see if they may have been causing the issue but the problem still exists.

Hopefully someone can figure this out because I may need to switch browsers until this gets resolved. Unfortunately not too efficient!

Thanks!

It does not work

I reset the browser, that does not work How can I delete it?

I have Firefox. And sometimes when I'm trying to watch a video, the video lags immensely! So I went to task manager to see how much memory its using. And it's using a whopping 480,000k!!! I have a basic theme and very basic addons. Nothing fancy. Almost as if it were a clean install. How do I make it so it doesn't use up all my memory? I have 8 gb ram but somehow it still gets the best of it.

Trying to download and install Adobe Flash. Adobe says the current version is 12.0.0.43. When downloading it from Adobe http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, the version says 12x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe. Don't understand that. After saving it and trying to install it, it will say that (only a single instance of this application can run). Clicking the OK button didn't help by eliminating one . I have done an Adobe Flash uninstall, tried re-booting, no Firefox applications are running and use the download folder to install. Same thing happens. I have had this problem before with the flash updates, and by making sure Firefox was not on, and installing from the download folder after doing a adobe uninstall seemed to work. Not now. Tried udating Firefox 26 to 27. I also have Chrome as another browser. But that was never a problem before. Sure would like some help. Thanks.

I have set my Homepage to www.bing.com

However, when I turn off FF and then bring it back on, it resets itself to Yahoo. How can I fix this? Incidentally, restarting works. It's just when FF is closed completely and then opened.

I was about to post this problem on here but I found a solution, I wanted to post this so hopefully others can benefit from it.

I checked all the current solutions on the Forum but none of them worked. From reinstalling Firefox, creating a new profile, disabling and troubleshooting plug-ins, starting in SafeMode, unchecking the 'expand to current folder' option in Microsoft File Explorer... I even ran 'sfc /scannow' in an elevated command prompt and rebooted my machine. Nothing.

However, I went browsing on other forums and someone mentioned a program called CCleaner. I had used this program years ago and knew it to be reliable, so I installed it once more and cleaned Windows, my applications and registry.

It worked! Nice and easy fix that I wish I knew about 3 hours ago. Hopefully this helped others out there, you can find CCleaner here: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download

Let me know if it helped!

(EDIT: Nevermind, the problem has come back. Help?)

I downloaded a word document yesterday. When I was prompted to save it or open it, I chose to just open it. I then made some changes to the word document, and clicked "save". Today I was looking for the word document, but couldn't find it. When I open Firefox's download menu, the option to open it or open its containing folder is grayed out.

What I'm very confused by is the fact that when I clicked "save" in MS Word yesterday when I finished editing the document, MS Word saved the file. Normally, when I "open" a word document directly from Firefox (as opposed to saving it to a specified location), if I edit the document and then click "save", MS Word will direct me to the "Save As" menu where I choose a folder to save the document in. This time, MS Word saved the file as if it were a file I had downloaded. So I had no idea that the file was not in a secure location (probably was in a temporary download folder).

The changes I made to the document were extremely important and I'm very very disappointed that I've lost the file. Is there anywhere it could be? How can I prevent this from happening in the future (other than saving the file directly from Firefox)?

Thanks

I want the complete URL of a webpage to be printed in the footer section of the printout. When I have the URL printed in the far left footer section it gets cutoff by the center footer section which is cut off by the far right footer section.

As above. For the past few days now, whenever I click 'open new tab' in firefox it opens immediately at the url posted above. I did, unsuspectingly which is how they get you if you are not careful, installed MySearchDial but removed it completely through add/remove and start/search. I even have new windows opening up with content I do not like at all ... my home page is the same again, but I cannot seem to figure out how to get my new tab to open in a blank page again (btw at the bottom of this 'chrome' page there is an mysearch.com icon - I have googled 'how to remove this' with no success). I do not use Chrome and do not have it listed as one of the operating programs on my computer. However, when I start/search "chrome" there is a complete list of files and folders that are found and I am unsure if I should delete them all since many of them appear to be directly associated with Firefox. Please - this is frustrating ... what can I do to get rid of this garbage on my computer?
