Firefox Support Forum

When clicking the 'display your bookmarks" button on menu toolbar, it opens a sidebar. I'd like to try a new window or new tab instead of the sidebar. I have Tab Mix Plus add-on installed but I cannot find such option. Thanks.

I can't verify my Java 7 update 51 version, but i need it so i can watch movies online on www.vojvodinanet.com . Firstly, i can't verify Java on my computer after installing, i tried to restart firefox and computer and it's the same. In add-ons it says Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.510.13 10.51.2.13 (disabled) and there is no option for activating, so please can you tell me what should i do?

After having upgraded to windows 8.1 the context menu 'flyout'(extended menu) arrows are now huge... I thought it might have been my DPI which is 108(so I fixed the about:config setting), or it could be something in my chrome.css file... It is neither of the above it would seem. Looking at a fresh install of Nightly also renders these oversized arrows. Any thoughts? Btw, I don't wish to stray from my custom DPI setting in Windows...all was well in 8.0?!

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.

Should I use "Recovery"? I am confused and just wish I could start over. Looked at info for a delete, but didn't seem to be an option because I wouldn't be able to set up again. Want to sync from an old Dell with Window XP professional to a brand new Samsung notebook8

User is on a Macbook OS 10.7.5 using FireFox 10.0.1 and when launching she gets this error: AutoConfig Alert

Any assistance would be helpfull. Cheers

can't find a way to get rid of mysearchdial. no orange firefox tab in browser so can't get to manage add ons and no mysearchdial program in installed programs in control panel so can't uninstall there.

tried changing homepage but no matter what I do, mysearch dial stays there. went to mysearchdial web page, followed their instructions, no use. Tried running malwarebytes anti-malware and it did not see anything. my browser opens really slow. Microsoft security essentials isn't helping either. Tried booting from start up repair disk, didn't find any problem. searching on my computer for mysearchdial or anything unfamiliar doesn't show anything. ran Tune-up utilities on registry, didn't find anything.

What should I try next? Thank you very much.

I installed Firefox on 7th Jan 2014 and have had problems since with PC windows 7pro. The PC is slower and a few minor problems. I have tried to uninstall Firefox a few times but no success. The problems may not be due to Firefox but why cant I uninstall the program.

Please advise. thanks

Regards Jim

I've recently built a new computer and de-activated some of the Windows features to make the computer run faster. When I installed Firefox, I continued to get a "This connection is untrusted" error message when trying to access any site requiring login information such as Google, Facebook and even Mozilla's site. When I do access these sites, images don't load and some pages appear as plain text as if there's no CSS file. Applications such as Gtalk won't log in, and I can't log onto MMOs I have downloaded through steam.

I've made a collage of the sort of errors I'm getting. Note that I've tried other browsers (Chrome) and gotten similar error messages.

When I click to open some (not all) sites a new tab is generated. Often the new tab is to respond to a survey or simply an advertisement related to the site I originally selected. Example - click Wells Fargo and an additional tab opens that advertises mortgage rates OR click an online retail store URL and the additional tab offers me to take a survey. This issue began when Windows 8.0 was installed. The update to 8.1 did not resolve the issue. My Firefox is version 25. How can I stop these new tabs from opening in Firefox?

Every time I get on Firefox it ask if Firefox can make changes to my computer, but when I reset Firefox and make sure I have the latest version of Firefox like recommended, it still does it every time, why? And how do I fix it?

Although I have "remember password" checked, I have to re-enter it every time I open FIrefox - Google is my homepage. To be fair, my username and password ARE remembered, but I would prefer to stay logged in permanently. This only became an issue when I added the PrivacyChoice Tracker Block add-on. I have since removed it from my toolbar. I also had a custom setting for Tools/Options/Privacy with exceptions to cookies but I have resorted back to Remember History. All cookies and cache are cleared. I'm not experiencing any other issues with other sites, yahoo, social media, etc. Just Google. Any ideas what to do next?

Firefox beta installer offers a link to "Details" when a new version is available. However this link has been broken in the last releases. Version 28 sends me to the following invalid page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/28.0/releasenotes/

The correct page is: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/28.0beta/releasenotes/

I was in a Forum with IE8, but am now using Firefox (IE8 wasn't working). I can't get signed into this other forum (something for WordPerfect), and their automatic reply said if I were using IE9 or IE 10 to use compatibility mode.

Folks,

I have FF 27.0 and have just been "stung" with this new FLASH addon.

I can't play youtube movies.

I have tried the "TRUST" sites but that was to get FOX TAB working. Do I need to do youtube........?

I did try "Request policy" as an "anti-tracking" but it caused more trouble than I liked, so I disabled it. But about that time I updated the FLASH player. Silly me.

So I am stuck with how to get youtube working?

I tried downloading Real Player, but that isn't a PLAYER in firefox - that I can resolve.

All the other posts on this topic are from last year, so as much as they may be "valid", I don't see how they are applicable to THIS case.

Thanks in advance.
