I have two profiles for firefox. But sometimes Firefox starts with the first active, sometimes with the second. The question is: How can I force firefox to use the profile "default" as the default profile on startup when there is no other instance running? When I want to use a second profile in parallel I use the command "firefox -P --no-profile" to start the profile selector.

Unable to connect

Feels like a cache is being filled somewhere -- movie starts out fine, but ~5 minutes in, video pauses for half a second every three-four seconds -- irritating. Download speeds measure at 2.8±1 MB/s; system memory 1.04 GB, available 482 MB, system cache 632 MB. Ideas?

How do I stop Firefox from remembering my user names? I know about how to turn off the password remembering but that doesn't stop it from remembering my user names. The only way i know of to stop it is to clear my history. I don't want to keep doing that every time I close firefox.

== when it was installed

I've tried installing flash player a dozen times, with both the instructions on the adobe page and the mozilla page. I'm running Fedora Core 11 with Mozilla 3.5.9. I've gotten "libflashplayer.so" and copied it to every "mozilla/plugins" directory on the drive. It does not work and is not listed when I bring up "tools/add-ons." One instruction said to copy "flashplayer.xpt" to the "mozilla/commponents" directory, but the download included no such file and I have no such directory. (Probably pertains to an older version.) I've tried downloading it with the .tar, .gzip, and yum; all with the same result. It doesn't work online and doesn't show up in my plug-ins.

I used to have Internet Explorer as my default browser and when I went to Firefox it asked me if I wanted Firefox as my default browser and I always sad no. I must haves screwed that up somehow and I want to go back to Explorer as default.

I can't convert pages to PDF any more. Not sure if this happened when I upgraded Firefox or when, but there is no menu option to convert to PDF. I use the Adobe CS3 suites and Firefox 3.5.9.

== can't pinpoint it - it used to work

the clear history no longer clears usernames and passwords stored. I've made sure every tab it clicked but firefox won't let go of my passwords that it has stored. The old firefox worked no problem.

Hi: I have a MacbookPro, OSX 10.5.8, and I use Firefox 3.5.9. I cannot upload photos to Facebook. I get a broken up "load" window, with not even the "upload" button to click, plus I can't select the photos I want to use.

I can do it perfectly, however, using Safari. Can you help? Thanks!

I am trying to login to a website and every time I go to login I get a message that says "You need cookies for this site. Please enable cookies." I've checked cookies and they're enabled, I even put that specific website on allow. I searched for information on how to correct this error and did all that it said, yet I still get this message.

How do I import a self-signed CA certificate into Firefox "Authorities"? I know where in Firefox I need to import and I believe it should be within the "Authorities" tab but I get an error "this is not a valid CA and will not be imported". I generated my CA cert with openssl. I would like corporate users to import it so that they don't get the "unknown certificate" messages for all the certs I sign for each web/FTP server in our company. Can someone please let me know if the "Authorities" store is where I should import my "custom" Certificate Authority? Thanks

Firefox opens multiple tabs uncontrollably when I try to open any php file.

== I suspect I ignorantly altered some settings

My downloads stop downloading at (different downloads different percentages) usually 30-70%, and Firefox calls it finished even though it isn't, if i try to open the file that stopped midway, it is usually corrupt or (if mp3) the whole song isn't there just part of it. what's causing Firefox to stop right in the middle and call it done?
