Firefox Support Forum

I downloaded 4b2 on to a new Windows 7 machine. I want to download some "older" addons that aren't yet compatible with 4b2. So I downloaded the Compatibility checker addon, plus manually ensured 'extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0b=false' was set in about:config.

When I go to the Firefox Add-On site, I get an error that there was a "connection error" with addons.firefox.com ONLY when I try to download a non-compatible addon (AdBlock worked, for instance, but it's compatible).

I recently installed the 4.0b2. After that I uninstalled 4.0b1. I have now lost all my preferences (bookmarks+history+themes+ext. etc.). Is it all lost or can I get them back?

I am running firefox 4 beta. I want my home pages to always come up as app-tabs. How do I do this?

With no extensions enabled, FF4b2 hangs after a short while. I don't really know how to get more information on this.

Another way to hang FF is to open the add-on manager and click "Update add-ons"

When using Beta 2, after browsing the stock history of any random company, it seems to almost completely freeze up Firefox. Test: Go to a company's stock display, mess around--go back a few years in their data, and report back if you have problems or not

I navigate to Gmail in FF 3.6.8 or 4.0 and log in. The site begins to load but after about 3 seconds it crashes the browser. The crash appears to be tied to the calendar sidebar widget loading, but that may just be a coincidence of the timing.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 3.6.8. That didn't help.

I loaded Firefox in safe mode, disabled / uninstalled all the plug-ins and that didn't help.

So I installed 4.0 to see if that would fix it and it hasn't.

I am on a Dell XPS 1530 with Windows Vista.

I was just going to install the compatibility reporter for Firefox 4 Beta 2 but it won't install. It's made for this version of Firefox so why won't it work? I keep reinstalling Firefox but it still doesn't work.

I just upgraded to Firefox 4.0b2 from 2.6.8, and when ever I open up the history sidebar by using Ctrl+H, the text looks compressed and pixelated. It's not really a big problem, but I just want4ed to let you guys know about this problem.

Oh yeah, this also happens with the bookmarks sidebar.

== when in stall around 7/20/10

(note: I have hundreds of bookmarks) I search the word "idea" in the location bark (with prefs set as searching for Bookmarks) and only SOME of the bookmarks with "idea" in the name come up. I type "ideas" and they all disappear, even though there IS one with the word "ideas". This happens even in Safe Mode.

Where is Stylish and the user styles? Don't show in the Add ons Tab.

== With FF 4 Beta

When multiple windows of a program opens in Windows 7, they 'stack up' on the bottom toolbar. However, in Firefox 4 I get this 'stack effect' whenever I have multiple tabs. Is there anyway to make it so that each tab is just seen as a part of one Firefox program, so I don't have it stacking up.

== I download Firefox 4 Beta.

If i choose to hide the menu bar, I can see the orange "firefox" button but there is no windows title bar that has the min, max, and X buttons. Like this title bar is cleanly chopped off.

However running firefox as admin doesn't have this issue.

I don't like when I type in a web site in there is what I'm going to type, How can I disable this option in firefox 4 beta 2 cuase I didn't find the option

== Seems I install

earlier i was using IE8. i could add favorites onto favorite bar and then make all those url appeared as icons rather than "icon with text", so as to have a view of all my favorites at a time. but i can't find this option here in Firefox 4.0 beta 2.

I reported this through Firefox's Feedback system. I also sent Feedback to Bank of America. I should note, I, so far, have had no other problems with Bank of America and Firefox 4, beta 2. I didn't have issues when I used the non-beta version 3 of Firefox prior to updating to Firefox 4. All I ask is that the issue be examined.

Thank you!

Can someone tell me why my interface looks like this? http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk293/TheOriginalName/Untitled2.png The windows title bar is still there, and the orange bar is beside the tab area. Opera and Chrome are fine on my computer though. Windows 7 of course.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one experiencing this, but there is no buttons to minimize, maximize or close. I have to do these using things like Aero Snap. This doesn't happen on Firefox 3.6.8
