Firefox Support Forum

Untii now the keyboard shortcut to top of page was control+home and to end was control+end. Now I am running Windows 8.1 and Firefox Beta neither of these work. Neither does control++ or control+0. (They did not work before I upgraded Firefox while I was using W8.1). Is there any keyboard shortcut to get immediately to top and to end?

With beta 29 nothing looks right and the add-ons and status (may be the same) bars are gone. There are add-ons that I simply can't use or it is too much trouble to use now. There has to be a way to fix this awful mess. I can't understand why Firefox wants to look and act like Chrome anyway. I don't use Chrome for a reason. I hate the hamburger icon and the new lack of customizable things. I am hopeful that someone can tell me how to restore the add-ons bar, I guess what I called the status bar is actually the add-ons bar.

I may have to go back to 28 and just stay there is there if no way to do this and firefox wants to be like chrome (slow, ugly, not very customizable)!!

I'm running on Windows 7, whenever I change the theme it works until I go to the menu bar and Customize stuff, then it goes back to a certain theme.

If you need more information, feel free to ask me!

on FF 27 a small gray x appears on each tab and this can be used to delete the tab even when it is not 'open' (when another tab is open in the window)

it seems that on FF 29 the delete tab 'x' now appears only on the open tab - this means when you have a lot of tabs you want to delete (not all in that window) you have to open each tab and then delete it :-(

am i missing something? is there a way to delete tabs that aren't open or config the ubiquitous 'x' back onto all tabs?

I can barely see the inactive tabs in the default theme for Firefox 29. They are muddy gray, hard to see, nearly impossible to read, and indistinguishable from the unused space for additional tabs. Can inactive tabs be brightened a bit?

Or can you recommend an add-on theme that will make the inactive tabs easier to see? Some of the other themes I tried aren't supported in Release 29.

Thanks.

FF shuts down after a few hours everyday. It's happening for a long time now and doesn't matter witch Firefox version is. Here are my lasts REPORT ID: 2cf2f18b-149b-49a1-8f2a-3f730a854f62 16/03/2014 23:13 9d2ea524-98d8-44db-abbd-e09664bbaa98 15/03/2014 12:08 17d0afcc-d813-4b23-a63c-3db1d2738eb3 12/03/2014 23:02 85fb530b-82cd-4ab0-bee7-03a41ee78084 10/03/2014 00:38 b7f7efe2-e2f8-44ba-8568-f8e837fa0604 09/03/2014 11:55 9c838ed7-157e-4aa8-b6f8-629f1da0c39b 09/03/2014 11:54 8576747f-55f8-4402-9b68-48bb3714c95d 09/03/2014 11:54 6608ad8e-2f2a-4dd4-99d9-e9ba41fcad37 09/03/2014 11:54 249305f0-b60a-4110-b0a8-fd85dfbbe7ef 09/03/2014 11:53 a3d1b500-9b33-4a3a-9040-27880ad51935 09/03/2014 11:52 2bb646af-d9a6-4c2a-8d75-7d213aafef7c 09/03/2014 11:52 d8e18794-3831-4a84-9bbf-a27a44df0f72 09/03/2014 11:52 181d5bc5-5d64-4f03-992c-0cfdfb0d2ce5 09/03/2014 11:52 ff3dcdb5-86b4-4500-9d04-63b77012a058 09/03/2014 11:52 b31d7bdf-4a97-4f8d-aa43-9b54f0117865 03/03/2014 20:37 f6283dc9-4f32-4a2f-a24f-f79ad22400a8 14/02/2014 11:21 bp-188db9bd-8879-420e-b3a7-dbb372140205 04/02/2014 22:25 1a2f7520-2870-469b-bc06-67b3def62ba6 04/02/2014 14:02 bp-2e1a7321-3b94-4ce4-b12c-132a52140203 03/02/2014 17:48 1dd322cb-d9b5-47a4-9ee9-aa52a4217a66 03/02/2014 08:53

\weaver\addonsreconciler.json inflates up to 500+ MB every few months. Even when I delete it it becomes a few MB size in a few days. Could it be caused by a large amount of installed/enabled addons? Is there any possibility not to create this file?

Is there a workaround for the following bug?

Open a firefox window and another window under osx (lion or higher). Ensure that firefox is focused. Now switch to another space (for example a fullscreen app) and then switch back. Now firefox moves behind the other window.

This bug is annoying, so please help me if anyone knows a solution. thanks

IN FF28 it was possible to detach the refresh button from the address bar, but now the whole address bar is just one element. I am really used to have the button on the left side and not on the right side of the screen. I would love to have the opportunity back again to separate them!

Best, Robin

The screen flickers some most of the time when I move the mouse around the screen. The flicker is worst when I scroll. This only started with the installation of v29.0.

I am running Windows 8.1 on a touchscreen device (Surface Pro 2), so I use both the Metro & desktop screens. I've been waiting for the Firefox Metro version while subsisting with IE for the last few months, and now Firefox Metro has been cancelled.

  Currently, whenever I open Firefox, it sends the computer to the desktop which is jarring if you're Metro-ing. Now, I've discovered the way to switch between the desktop & the Metro version of Firefox when you are already IN Firefox, but that seems very much the wrong way round. I don't want to change interfaces through a programme/app, I want the programme/app to open in whatever interface I'm using at the time.
  So, is there a way that if I double click on the desktop icon, Firefox in desktop mode opens, but if I'm on the Metro interface & tap the Firefox app it will open in Metro mode?

Cannot find server is the main problem I have. One of the reason, is firewall would have blocked the firefox. But, on solution , it was suggested to allow firewall thro windows firewall. When i open the settings, i could not find the Mozilla in the allowed program. I opted for change settings and opted allow program and then add the mozilla. my question is even unreliable programs make their automatic allow entries in windows firewall without noticing us. But not Mozilla. Why this happens?

                  I learnt from support article that you could add Mozilla to the allowable program. Why firefox itself could not make to configure it automatically, whenever it updates or not?

What is the difference between private public check box? in windows firewall for fire fox.

It has been useful in past versions of Firefox to be able to add (a) space(s) between icons on the toolbar in order to create groups of icons and/or separate icons by class or function. In Firefox 29.0, I discovered how to "grab" (click and drag) a space from open areas on the toolbar and move it to another part of the toolbar. But how can I add spaces to the toolbar? In past versions, there used to be a space icon in the customize menu set that could be dragged to the toolbar for that purpose.

Is there a default config file somewhere? I have installed / uninstalled many extensions over the months. I don't really want to rebuild my FF install. I was wondering if there is an "out-of-the-box" default config file I could compare to my current config file. Thanks.

I have a problem with tab mix plus on ff29 I like this add-on from the previous verison of ff. the problem is there is a glitch in the new ff 29 where the tab on ff is getting hunged up with this add on tab mix plus. is there a solution that can fix this problem if not. do you have a link to go back to an older verison of ff where that addon works. thanks you Kevin D

when i wish to close a number of open tabs and I confirm from the drop down box that I wish to do so simultaneously nothing happens. I have to close each tab individually
