Firefox Support Forum

Spent 3 months modifying google and firefox then moved to a new computer, FF didn't install from other hard drive. Now there's sponsored links, ads and annoying ff box below search box and history won't go away either. Is this another 3 month project?

On the previous version - 3.6.17, the Navigation Toolbar has arrows to go back one page, go forward one page, and a drop down tab for recent pages. The new version leaves out the drop down tab. I use it constantly. But since it is not there, I went back to the previous version. Any way this can be fixed?

When I typed in a word, for ex, "space", originally FF would take me to "google search" with all the options for "space" in that search. Suddenly, "yahoo search" butted in and my searches are redirected to that place. I went through the forums etc. They had suggested "about:config", "keyword.url". Then right clicking and setting on "reset". Well, when I do that, my "reset" function is not available. It is faded. Then, I right click on "modify", and type in the one search option for google available in forums etc:

"http://www.google.com/ig?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&aig=0&reason=1"

From here on, when I go to awesome bar and type in "space", it does not take me to that "google search" page, but it takes me either to my own "igoogle" page, or if I sign out of igoogle, it takes me to a regular google home page.

Then, I want what I searched for to be in the google's or igoogle's search box with all the "google" search results available. '''But the search box is empty.

What to do now?

I hope that I am clear about the issue. This I could not find in the forums/help pages.

Thank you for your help.

ps. Vista, Newest updated version of FF (4).

I've had a quick look in options, but I can't see if there's a way to have the drop-down list of pages visited.

I find it useful if I want to go back to before a page where I was submitting information in a form, otherwise it gets all "Do you want to submit this again?" etc etc.

Whether it was Netscape, SeaMonkey or earlier versions of Firefox, there was always a symbol of "home" to return to from wherever other page I was visiting. Now it is gone. How do I set it?

Hi,

Until today, every time I used firefox, once I'd start writing the address of the website, the address would come up entirely and I'd just have to select it. I think it's called pre-fetching of website? Today, it just stopped working but I have not changed any of my settings.

Best, Sandrine

I know I can open links in a new tab by right-click and choose open link in new tab. Is there a way to make this method the default choice so I don't have to right click? I use windows 7

I just installed the latest version of Firefox, first time user of it. I have my "tabs" at the top of the screen, I've used the "View" options and checked all the tool bars but I don't have a location / Awesome Bar that shows the (http://www.address.com) of the website I am on. I like to be able to see that so I can copy and create links when sending emails.

Can someone tell me how to get Firefox to show me that bar.

Thanks, Ed

When I use Firefox in a lot of websites it prevents the promotional photos and flash... For example: pic of mediafire website, first with firefox. second with cometbird browser.

I want to do it with other PC, but I couldn't know how I did it!

Thanks.

(I am using windows+firefox browser and what I am seeing is my actual window+above the window there is only the tab-bar and above the tab-bar of course the firefox on/of/change the size of window-functions)

I've noticed a little arrow in the lower right hand corner of some boxes where I can enter text. I've played around with it a bit, but now want to make all those boxes that I've played with go back to their original size. I'm not sure on how to do this. I might be looking incorrectly under options, but to no avail. Any ideas?

In the previous versions of Firefox, in any open tab that had multiple windows open, i. e. from a search where you would go to many different windows, there was a drop down selection to the right of the "back/forward" button that would let you select prior windows ... and always the first one. That is no longer there. It was extremely helpful and I used frequently. Can you add it?
