Firefox Support Forum

I decided to clear all the cookies along with the browser history. After that I can't get access to my yahoo email. After trying to sing-in I get "a problem loading page" with the following message:

"The page isn't redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies. "

I' ve tried with IE (bliahhhh!) and there isn't any problem. Could you please provide me some advice? Thank you in advance for your interest.

I primarily use Firefox as my browser on my newer iMac with mountain lion. I had accidentally deleted some family photos from my desktop and used a recovery tool program to scrub my hard drive for recently deleted images. The program worked very good as I was able to recover my deleted family pictures but I had to go through hundreds of images to find them. In those hundreds of images I went through, I found screenshots of my Firefox activity from banking sessions, to amazon shopping, to google searches. I was stunned. They were only screenshots of Firefox browsing sessions. Hundreds. All taken without my knowledge. I clear my data often on Firefox. Cookies, cache, history, etc. I clear everything. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it? It's definitely a security issue, a lot of the screenshots even showed "sign on" screenshots of banking sessions and amazon user names, email log-ins, etc. I don't know where the screenshots are stored, like I said I used a deleted image recovery program and it doesn't tell you, it just finds files. I scoured my computer looking for jpgs, pngs, etc and couldn't find anything on my own.

I have downloaded & re-downloaded FLASH, but after I updated my Firefox to 22.0 it no longer recognizes FLASH is installed on my computer. It also keep telling me "Some plugins required by this page have been blocked for your protection." When I check the plugins, the 3 listed are up to date, and the other 3 are marked "research" - which doesn't allow you to update them. I cannot discern that any of those are what is being blocked. When I click on Details, it brings me to a list of "Modules bloqués" and it's all listed in French...which would be great if spoke French or lived in France, but alas California is in the USA. My Java is updated, enabled & not blocked in any way. My Shockwave Flash is disabled & it will not give me the option to Enable it; I also cannot find a way to reinstall it or find a plugin to help me. !@#$%! So frustrating that this new "update" is useless. I hate 22.0.

What do I do now?

Recently yahoo mail wants me to make them my home page I can not see my email until I close it down or agree. This happens every time, I did make it my home page and the message disappeared changed it back to my old home page and the message pops up. Is it firefox or yahoo causing the problem? and how do I stop it without making Yahoo my home page or changing my email.

I have no idea what more functional product I have installed. Also, when I clicked on my plugin Adobe Acrobat to update, the update said Adobe Reader. Are they the same?

I backed up my firefox bookmars, and the file that came out of it is no specific file type. Even in the properties, it just says "File type: File".

So now i'm trying to restore my bookmarks, but I can't open that file. If i try opening the file itself with firefox or any other browser for that matter, I get long pages of text. It does contain my bookmarks, but it's really hard to read. What can i do to fix this?

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?!

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

Netscape.cfg/AutoConfig failed. Error: pref failed: [Exception... "Component returned

Any assistance would be helpfull. Cheers

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

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.
