Firefox Support Forum

My problem just started today. I seem to have picked up some pop-ups one of them involving "trackjumpclick.com" another one tells me that my Java version is not up to date. I updated Java and still get this message. Any ideas on how to get rid of these things? Thanks in advance for any help.

In the last week whenever i use Amazon I have e-bay pop ups which prevent me searching. It does ot happen on Internet Explorer and Chrome. Much as I like your product I will switch to the Microsoft behemothif it continues.

I am using a laptop running Win 8, and I ALWAYS want to open Comcast with Firefox, which I set up to be my default browser. But after creating a shortcut icon to the Comcast URL on Firefox, Comcast still opens with IE. I can't find where anyone else has reported this exact same problem, which is very frustrating. Please help!

Thanks,

Barry

Downloaded the update to FF 33.1.1 only to find the TAB bar is now at the top rather than the bottom under my bookmarks.

Tried the solution I have used in the past... about:config / tabs / browser.tabs.onTop but the 'browser.tabs.onTop' isn't listed for me to be able to change to 'false'

In the past when I have done that the tabs revert to my favoured position but not with the new release of FF 33.1.1.

Can anyone suggest a solution ?

(I do wish that when updating Firefox would not interfere with the users previous settings or if thats too difficult for them, make it easy so you could just 'drag' all the toolbars, tabs bars etc etc into the position you want them)

I downloaded on my old mac few years ago this add-on 'press-this' a super nice way to post on my blog built in with wordpress.org, then when I got my new laptop, i have tried the same and it s not working. previously there was on a tool bar the icon appearing, and i only needed on click to post things. now i cannot use it as i did in the part, there is an icon, but it takes me back to wp.com which i don't use, I have a blog as a page in my website with wordpress.com and firefox doesn't allow me to use this tool any help out there?

Did a bookmark backup prior to "cleansing" my hard drive. Didn't notice it at the time, but Firefox didn't save the bookmarks as a json extension. They seem to be a regular file. Any suggestions? Any hope?

Can you add a totally new functionality, which would be similar to email spam. If I get to a website I don't ever want to see in any of my searches or anything I would just click WEBSPAM button and the site is gone from my web viewing experience. It is sort of an opposite of favorites or bookmarks. Negative bookmarks could be a good concept name.

So again, the negative bookmark site would not show in any of my searches. The idea is to make this simple. A one click solution.

Hello, for a while now, before opening a pdf document, I reach a dark page where I have to click to activate the Adobe Acrobat plugin. I have Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 9.5.5 and I know that it is outdated, however, upgrading to 10 or 11 is not an option due to Acrobat 10 and 11 not being compatible with our enterprise systems. I get black screens whenever I try to view pdf in Firefox and I have to click on them to view pdf. Whether I am running in XP, Windows 7 or 8, it doesn't much matter. How do I disable the warning about acrobat and how do I get the plugin to stay activated?

Any suggestion as how to disable the warnings and vulnerability screens or to update the plugin without installing Adobe Reader? Thank you

I have about 40 windows each with between 2 and 15 tabs so, I would like to bookmark them ALL at once and clean up my session

is there any way to do that ?

NOW, I KNOW ABOUT ctrl+shift+d, but I'm not in the mood to press it 40 times and then make a folder for each of them

thank you !

Several sites have videos that start up whenever you visit whether you want to see them or not ...most are ads. Whenever I go to any site that does this my computer gets to a point that my mouse jumps all over the place and it slows to a point of not being able to use it, I have to go to task manager to stop it ....then it starts right back up when I change the page. It is always the plug -in container and if left to run the memory just goes higher and higher. I would like to just turn it off at this point, it makes my pc pretty much useless. It has something to do with the adobe flash player and I have updated it more than once but still no luck. The guesses look about right about os etc.

does anyone know if mozilla is doing something about this? or an resolution to this problem? me too I am positive to have downloaded firefox on the official site. this problem comes up since i installed yosemite. could it be that a setting in yosemite is the source of the problem? thanks for help.

Got infected with the spellso virus accidentally. Thought I had gotten rid of it, but the next thing I know it's on my phone. The only way it could have gotten there is because of sync. How do I get rid of browser hijackers in sync so they don't infect my other devices?

the tab x deletion needs to be moved away from the tab addition plus. If you get in a hurry you can wind up deleting the tab you wanted open because that is where you are working and that can be very very bad. This really isn't a question for the community, but I couldn't manage to send a message to Firefox. Hopefully someone passes this on. And I don't want any comments about slowing down. That won't happen.

Saw that you have an addon "ymnotifier" to announce when Yahoo mail comes in. I installed it and feel that I have the correct information keyed: e-mail address / PW/ Pop. Nothing happens when I receive new mail. I have Fox Fire 1.28. Is this addon still working.

Thanks, Jim

This pops up when Firefox is left idle. It beams up another browser, e.g. Chrome or Internet Explorer with the same http in that browser's address line. I was getting http:static-tacyquigenec.com prior to this address.

I have restarted in safe mode, no change. I can't afford to reset it, I've spent countless hours undoing the Australis theme damage + other per-site customization.

I have been using firefox and thunderbird for many years, but have had a computer crash. I am not sure if I have registered before, but is it possible to recover my settings including bookmarks and passwords? Thanks.

A scrolling problem with swiping just appeared on my Mac after upgrading to 33.1.1--It did not happen on the version I used previously under the same operating system (OSX 10.9.5). I don't know what version of Firefox I was using before, but I think it was fairly recent. The support file suggests this is an Apple problem. How can it be an Apple problem if it didn't happen until I upgraded Firefox (after being pestered incessantly) to 33.1.1?
