Firefox Support Forum

The problem with my Firefox is that the "new tab" button at the end of the last tab and from the menu "open a new tab" doesn't work at all. The open a new window does work but the new tab no. What happened???

I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF several times. When I try to install the extension (that requires FF 4.0), I get a pop-up that says I am still using an older version of FF and asks if I want to upgrade. When I click on "About Firefox", it says I have 4.0. In February, I downloaded FF Beta which I understand could be a problem. I also have read that you need to manually delete Beta files which I have done. I did a system search to see if any Beta files exist and no further files were found. I just want to make sure FF 4.0 is installed and be able to install the FGS extension.

I am running 3.6.16: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.16) Gecko/20110319 Firefox/3.6.16 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0C)

I click on Tools, then Options, then Security, then Saved Passwords and finally "SHOW PASSWORDS".

I had no idea that it would be this easy for someone to gain access to whatever passwords I've saved. Shouldn't this feature be password protected also? Is there a way I can secure this so that anyone who uses a machine after me that I use frequently will not see my saved passwords?

Please advise.

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 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 have Mac OS 10.5.8 and Firefox 3.6.16. I'm trying to install Firefox 4.0. I downloaded the dmg file, opened it, and moved the Firefox icon over the Application icon. The result was a message saying, "A newer item named 'Firefox' already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the older one you are moving?" I checked the Firefox already in my Applications folder and it is definitely 3.6.16, I hesitate to go ahead with the replacement until I know why I'm getting this (apparently) false message. Can you help me?

ffox has permanently saved my password to my yahoo.com account . i want to stop it and reverse this situation . thank you

I tried to upgrade to 5.0 when it firsst came out. I checked the system requirements, which I thought I'd met:

Mac OSX 10.4 + Intel

When I tried, the program wouldnt run at all on my computer, so I was forced back to 3.6.16.

I want to upgrade, but it seems I cant.

I just upgraded to Firefox 3.6.16 on Windows XP. The buttons that used to be at the top of the browser that said "file" "view" "tools" "help" are gone. Pressing the "alt" key does nothing. Same thing happened when downloaded Firefox 4.

There's not much I can do with this browser if I can't access a fundamental button like "tools." Any help would be appreciated. TIA

In 3.6.16, the buttons are all over the place. In previous versions, the forward, back, refresh, stop and home buttons were all together. In this version, the refresh and stop buttons are between the address and search windows, and the home button to the far right.

I would love to have them all together as they used to be - much more user friendly that way. I have tried installing alternate themes, but the coding of this version over-rides the themes.

FF4 on ubuntu ... It seems apparent that FF4 maintains a backup of places.sqlite and if places.sqlite is corrupted or removed it automagically replaces the corrupt/lost file. I need to know exactly where FF is maintaining this backup info at. Anyone know? ( I DO NOT need to restore my places.sqlite. I just need to know where FF maintains the backup.)

Was on one of the photo creation sites (Image chef)this morning and wanted to get rid of the "credit" emblazoned across the frame. I thought that's what I was removing . Instead I blocked all images from showing up . Can I restore this?

I am a frequent user of BBC radio via the net. The BBC has re-vamped its player and this afternoon [01 04 11] I tried listening to Radio 7 and then Radio 4 to check. The listening panel showed up but there was no sound either on listen live or on 'listen again'. I am now listening to R7 live via Safari.

I have not had problems before with Firefox and the BBC

FRACK! -- tried to change category, and it wiped my details and troubleshooting info (about 1K of typing!) So will restate, but without as many details.

Firefox's cache shows (in 'cacheviewer'

extension) 3 possible locations:

memory, disk and 'offline' (don't usually have anything in 'disk' due to my settings, FWIW).

What is 'offline' in relation to the cache?

How do I get rid of them (I can delete them from the viewer page, but they come back leaving the viewer page and restarting it).

In order to open say both my gmail and facebook, I have to go to my desktop and open firefox 2 times in order to run both items. Firefox wont let me open a new tab myself, but if I click on a link in a window I have opened then a new tab will open. Its very strange, any advice??
