Firefox Support Forum

hi I have clicked on the more button after right clicking on the logo and set firefox as administrator, but I dont know how to confirm that it is now set as administrator I ask as i have a seperate programme that requires it to be set thanks Robert

If Firefox can't find any encoding declaration in bot HTTP response headers and web page meta tags, and also can't guess, it will use the default encoding.

But there are only two choices for default encoding: Unicode and Western, as set apart near the top of the "View | Text Encoding" menu item list.

Is it possible to add more choices e.g., Japanese (Shift_JIS)?

"Japanese" has always been selected for Auto-Detect. But not much help.

When I go to the General tab, the dropdown option for "When Firefox Starts" is greyed out, so that I can't change from 'Show my homepage' to 'Open last tabs'.

Also I can't change my default homepage.. clicking on use current pages/use bookmark/restore default buttons does nothing. (The homepage is currently set to my organisation's homepage, so possibly there is some over-ride setting, but I tried the Refresh Firefox which I found in one of the help articles.)

Firefox browser 50.1.0. I have the latest Flash Player version (24.0 r0). In Flash control panel (access via IE/Edge), I have set to not use Hardware acceleration. In Flash options (F/Fox), I have disabled Protected Mode. In F/Fox, I have disabled "Use hardware acceleration when available". I have an NVIDIA GTX 970 graphics card, using the latest drivers (376.33). I've uninstalled & re-installed the graphics drivers. Windows 10 (64-bit) Professional - new installation (only a couple of weeks old).

Yet... every time I attempt to access a site, any site, that uses Flash, the player crashes before displaying any video at all. When visiting the same sites in IE or Edge - all works fine. Any clues?

Not able to set "ask" on google talk plug-in when going to google hangouts. The webpage says to click "allow" at top of browser, but there is no popup asking to allow. Need this to fix, I won't leave google talk active all the time.... Pain in ass to reset every time I need to make a phone call. Not sure if browser, or if google messing around.

basically i am tired of clicking every links on r/videos.. i think it's 2017 there should be on add on that supports every firefox based browser and does this job

Apple Mac Mini (late 2012) Mac OS Sierra 10.12.02 (updated recently - since this update, Ant downloader has still been functioning o.k.) Firefox browser - 51.0.1 - 64 bit (updated Jan 2017) Ant.com video downloader 2.4.7.47 (recent version) This problem started after Firefox was recently updated - yesterday. I have reinstalled the Ant downloader several times & I have checked & updated all plugins (including Java) ... still no go. When I download & start any video playing, the Ant downloader's 'blue square with an arrow' in my toolbar - does not detect any video running/playing anymore.

I would be very grateful for you assistance please. Regards Peter

Taking https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2016/11/23/add-ons-in-2017/ as a representative sample of Firefox's community of users we can see 100% of negative reaction to the decision of deprecating XUL. So: is Mozilla reverting that decision? If not, why the hell not?

Also, none of those comments was answered by Mozilla, which is also a bit disrespectful, I think. Am I wrong here? Feedback seems to work one way only and not for the users' sake... :(

Please refer to this conversation in twitter. It has GIFs of the problem I'm having.

Thanks!

I installed the Facebook video downloader so that I can share FB videos with non-FB users. After installation, It tells me a 4th option will appear at bottom of each video to download the video. This button still does not appear even after restarting computer and quitting FB and opening again. Why is this NOT working???? Thank you.

I'm running on Windows 7. Up till a few days ago my video downloader from ant.com has been downloading videos from Youtube, Facebook and the internet about 90% of the time. Some videos would not show that a video was running. After I installed your last update, three or four days ago, the videos stopped downloading altogether. I didn't realize that all were doing it at first until nothing was downloaded. Can you help? TIA. BILL

I got the addon and not only did it *not* get rid of the zoom level indication, but it changes the look more than I'd like.

It seems this should be an easy "have" or "have not" option, with the default being "have not." You can add it on if you want it.

As the question says I need a way to switch proxies automatically. I love Firefox and want to use it at home and at school which require automatic and manual proxies respectively. Help is greatly appreciated.

I've done everything everyone has suggested in the forums. I even reset Firefox back to default at the risk of losing all my bookmarks. The bookmarks are still there, I can see them in the "Bookmarks" pull-down menu. But the bar itself is gone. Everywhere where one would turn it on or off, it shows as checked on, but it isn't. I've checked it back off, restarted, checked it back on, restarted, nothing. Any light on the matter will be greatly appreciated.
