We have, or are using the most current updates and yet, the Firefox Browser is constantly asking to update our existing plugins. Is this a problem? I.E. : When we go to install the "outdated plug-In" the installer says we have the most current version, do you want to install the older version, or overwrite the existing version?, (Naturally we so "NO").

Trying out the new Hello. Seems to work great on my Android with FFx Beta, and on my Windows 8.1, but when trying to either initiate or join a conversation from my Linux desktop, it doesn't seem to like me. If initiating a new conversation, it lets me copy/email the link to others, but never tells me when they joined or displays any audio or video, even though they are happily chatting with each other. When joining an existing conversation, it tells me there are already 2 people there, but still doesn't actually participate. Others don't see that I joined. Have no problems with using Skype on this linux machine, or playing HTML5 and other video (Hulu, YouTube, etc) in Firefox. Running Cinnamon desktop.

I run a forum that uses Invision Power Board as the forum software. In Firefox 35.1 and below, when replying to a thread or starting a new thread, text would be correctly displayed like this: -

In Firefox 36, once you hit the right hand edge of the box that you type your post into, rather than it automatically moving down to the next line, it just continues on to the right and a horizontal scrollbar appears, like this: -
http://i.imgur.com/xkVP5Ck.jpg
I have tried upgrading to the latest beta version of Firefox 37, but the problem remains. I have also tried restarting Firefox in safe mode, with all extensions disabled, but it's the same. As soon as I downgrade back to 35.1 again, it works fine.
Is this a bug in Firefox? Is there an advanced setting I can change somewhere so that this doesn't happen?
Thanks!

Hello
I recently upgraded from Windows 7 'Firefox 35 to 36' and noticed that after a restart i was still logged into pages days later after reloading Firefox, and I have just tested on another laptop which is running Firefox 35 that this is not an issue and seems only to be an issue in Firefox 36.
I then realised this is a 'Massive Security Issue' and did a test logging into my bank account then closing down Firefox 36 and restarting my laptop and found that i was still actually logged into my bank account free to carry on banking as normal. - THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN NEEDS RECTIFYING ASAP !
Imagine the scenario of a user with basic knowledge using a public computer thinking that by closing down Firefox and the machine completely without clearing cookies they would be secure and totally logged out, but not the case and totally open to any other users to use the account to their advantage.
I personally have found a couple of work arounds for this which are:-
- When Firefox Starts: Show my homepage
- About:config - browser.sessionstore.privacy_level (user set 2)
I would appreciate a response regarding this as i see this as a major issue, and would like someone to acknowledge the problem.
Kind regards J Booth
How can I start two FF instances under two Windows accounts at once w/o -no-remote? I need to be able to send URLs to them.

I have one FF (36.0) installation and two Windows user accounts: one for work (w/o internet access but with access to domain resources like JIRA) and one for internet access (w/o access to local resources). I need two instances of FF running at the same time with different resources. I've created profiles with different names under both accounts and specify profile names using -p parameter. However when I try to start both instances of FF (second one is started via RUNAS), second instance can't be started, new tab in already running instance is opened instead:
firefox.exe -p profile runas.exe /profile /savecred /user:user_i "\"firefox.exe\" -p profile_i"
When I start one of them with -no-profile, I can start both at once... but when I try to execute firefox.exe with an URL in order to open a tab with this URL in one of running instances (local URLs I open by starting firefox.exe under work account and remote URLs I open by starting FF via RUNAS), it can't sent URL to already running instance of same user, it always sends URLs to an instance that is runnung w/o -no-remote.
firefox.exe -p profile -url "url" runas.exe /profile /savecred /user:user_i "\"firefox.exe\" -p profile_i -url \"url\""
So, I need to have two instances under two different Windows user accounts, and when firefox.exe is started again, it should only communicate with instance that is running under same user account, it must not communicate with instance that is running under different Windows account.

After the Firefox 35.0.1 update i have not been able to play some videos , i click on the "play" arrow on the video and it goes away like its going to play then within seconds it goes back to the arrow and the video just sits there and wont play , the same videos worked fine before the 35.0.1 update , i can open Google Chrome and go to the same video and the videos all work in Google Chrome with no issues (the exact same videos that used to work in Firefox before the 35.0.1 update) , mostly they are Instagram videos (i do not have a Instagram account , i just watch some of the Motocross videos people post) , i have tried updating Flash and its current , i have tried disabling add-ons , and enabling them , and nothing seems to fix the issue that was not there before the 35.0.1 update , this is on a Windows Vista 64 bit Desktop PC
Any info on how to actually fix this would be appreciated .Thanks .... Jim

My problem since switching to windows 8.1 is that FF keeps logging me out of everything even when I keep the browser active.
When i first turn on the computer, it'll log me out after just 4 or 5 minutes of active use. Then the time increment increases each time. The best I can do is about one hour. After that it just logs everything out. It's very annoying if you're doing a lot of work on many different websites at the same time that all require logins. It's especially annoying if you lose a lot of text you've spent a long time writing.
I never had this problem with Windows 7. Now I'm using FF 36, just updated today and it's still a problem. I don't think it's my cookies configuration.
Sometimes Google or Yahoo will tell me my website isn't accepting cookies. Then, one minute later, I can login no problem. Then after 10, 20, or 30 minutes it logs me out again. And the cycle repeats. It's like FF clears and refuses to accept cookies for about a minute or two, and then goes back to "normal".
I have no idea why this is happening.

I continuously have this issue with 1 pc in my 75+ pc environment controlled by SBS.
Printer is a Kyocera KM-3035 PC is Windows 7 32 bit Professional
It doesn't send a message and it backlogs the printer with other print jobs from other users, so this is quite an annoyance.
This is how I fix this issue, Browsing to the "Prefs.js" file and editing it, finding all entries that start with "Print_" and deleting those entries. It works until the system restarts. Then I have to do it all over again.
Why does this continue to happen? Can anyone point me in the right direction? As i've stated before, 75+ pc's and ONLY 1 having this issue. Most of the users use Firefox or Google Chrome. Nobody except for 1 user is having this issue, and it's only with Firefox. I've tried to get her to switch to Chrome, but she won't... Older user, hard to change their ways once they are set in stone...
Any help would be greatly appreciated, she's a wonderful person and it's upsetting to her that she's causing all these "Paper Jams" she's afraid to print half the time for fear she may cause a back log... I don't want that, I can't have that. Please help.

I am still using Fedora 14 (64-bit) because it works so much better than the later ones. If this is the reason I can't get plugins to work so be it. I believe I have followed the proper steps to recover my plugins but maybe I missed something. Note that Java and Flash worked fine for several years. It broke when I upgraded the browser.

Last week my browser auto-updated to version 36.0 and I am now no longer able to connect to certain internal corporate websites. These sites either have self-signed certs, or certs signed by an internal CA. They do not use certs signed by publicly known "trusted" CA's.
For example, one of the errors that I receive is below:
Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to [HOST]:[PORT]. SSL peer rejected a handshake message for unacceptable content. (Error code: ssl_error_illegal_parameter_alert)
Although a warning message is received in IE or Chrome we are given the option to proceed and the site opens correctly, despite those browsers also indicating that the servers cert is not trusted.
I have added the internal CA's cert to the Authorities tab in the Firefox Certificate Manager, but am still not able to connect to the internal site.
Firefox allows me to accept some incorrect certs (or at least it did in the past), why is this not the default behavior with *all* certificate related problems? I realize that there are malicious sites out there, but there are also internal ones that are being blocked as well. Is there a config option that can be set so a user is prompted for all cert errors and they can decide to proceed if desired instead of just being blocked from the site? I understand blocking by default, but there also needs to be a way to proceed for advanced users.
Are there any configuration options to loosen the cert standards for sites? All other sites seem to load properly and otherwise there are no problems with the browser.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, I wasn't sure where to.
Thanks for any assistance!
