After switching to version 4, the drop-down navigation menu, showing the most recently-visited pages (near the navigation arrow buttons), disappeared. How do I get it back?

This is the actual message I get when I search for images: Your search could not be completed with the requested search options. This is regardless of what I search for.

I remember back in Firefox 3.6 you could go into about:config and reset the automatic setting for downloads, but that particular option has either been renamed or isn't there anymore.

I used to be able to type a word in the location (or address) bar and I would get directed to the best website that google could think of. If I typed "dogs" in there and hit enter I would go to the dog page of wikipedia. If I type "hotmail", I'll get sent to hotmail.com. This is not happening anymore. Now I just get the google search results of the keyword I entered. I've tried going to about:config and making sure the keyword.url is at default and I've tried different things with the browser.fixup stuff, but nothing works. This all happened when I upgraded firefox too, so I think that is the problem. What can I do to fix it and get it back?

I've deleted some keyword search bookmarks, yet entering the old keywords into the address bar can still cause respective searches. Funny enough, the bar doesn't even show the keyword search as a suggestion like it does with usual keyword searches. (like "Search Google: ")

I look at a picture from a photo-site - size 11 MB. I decide to save this picture > right click > save image as.. The download window opens and FF downloads the picture once more which is already somewhere in FF's cache or memory.. I can see that data comes from the internet and not from a local place on my computer and the process can be rather slow, when the remote server is slow.. I find this as a waste of bandwidth.. Is it possible to avoid this behaviour?

I recently updated to Firefox 4.0.1 from Firefox 3.6. Firefox 3.6 had a "Bookmark All Tabs" in the Bookmarks pull down menu. There isn't a "Bookmark All Tabs" in the Firefox 4.0.1 Bookmarks pull down menu. Has this feature been eliminated from Firefox 4.0.1? If I want to save 24 tabs in one window of Firefox and 14 tabs in another window of Firefox, do I have to save all the tabs individually? How can I set the options, preferences, etc. so that I can "Bookmark All Tabs" at once in a window of Firefox 4.0.1. I am running Firefox 4.0.1 on a desktop computer with Windows7 Professional OS with Firefox as my default browser.

In trying to delete multiple bookmarks, the Firefox help tells me "On the menu bar, click Bookmarks, then select Organize Bookmarks..."

I cannot find "Organize Bookmarks"

In older firefox versions, there was a button that brought up a dropdown selection of the last 10 or so pages, but I can't figure out how to get it back in the new version. This is a problem because my school website uses a lot of ID-verification transition pages between links, so when I try to hit the back button, it sends me to the verification page and then right back to the page I was on, and there's no way to go back without opening up my history, something that can be a hassle if I'm looking at things in multiple tabs. Is there anything I can do?

I know how to set my homepage for when opening firefox, but I can't find how to make newly opened tabs automatically load my homepage. Can this be done? Seems like opening a new tab only allows a blank page to load.

Since installing 4.0 I have no "home" button. How do I return to my home page after opening other windows, such as e-mail or face book without going to the start menu or my bookmarks? Can I return to 3.6?

I have a dual-monitor set-up on my PC. I have a 19" widescreen monitor which NVidia treats as Monitor 2, and a 17" non-widescreen monitor which NVidia treats as Monitor 1. Monitor 2 is set as the main monitor. Interestly enough, the set up was the same on Windows 7 32-bit which I had installed. 17" as M1, 19" as M2, 19" set as main monitor, yet FireFox opened properly on Monitor 2.

I'm clueless as to what is causing this...

Cannot open http://wwitv.com/tv_channels/b5791.htm (to Watch Sky News) in Firefox but it opens in Internet Explorer. The site opens in Firefox but not the screen

I am running firefox 4 64 bit on windows 7. However my remote citrix connection for work needs a 32 bit browser. How can I install a 32 bit version on my PC when my OS is 64 bit?

In Firefox 3.6 I had an option in Option->Security settings to see the Security Warnings. This feature is now gone that I have updated it to Firefox 4. How can I change this options in Firefox 4 ?

I have a problem highlighting items on webpages (specifically text) to save as a file for printing. If I hold the left mouse button to highlight the text, the page doesn't auto scroll down to where text is off the screen. An example is here: http://sonalacant.blogspot.com/search/label/Agenda

Any ideas please as it means I have to go back to IE for certain pages??
