Firefox Support Forum

I've installed ubuntu lucid lynx and want to move my bookmarks from hardy heron. Both OS are on the same hard drive on different partitions. I've tried using the import option in the library but can't find the appropriate HTML file.

I have a laptop that I upgraded: ubuntu8.10 -> ubuntu9.0.4 java stopped working in yahoo bridge. (firefox = 3.0.19) I followed Sun's instructions putting the link to the correct .so file to java6u20 plugin but that did not help. I tried clearing cache. still nothing. I have another PC with firefox3.0.19 and there is no java plugin but there are two flash plugins (1 free, the other non-free) it is at ubuntu8.10 and java is working just fine in that firefox. I have followed all of firefox's steps for enabling java in the preferences dropdown. I can provide more details if you need them.

Control icons, (the X, shrink, and expand ones), for an open window, including Firefox have moved to left hand side. Now located above File on the menu items in firefox. How do I change them back to right hand side?

Other users on the computer still on the right though.

Installation of JRE has been verified. Sites that require JRE say it is not installed but all site tests confirm the installation. A technician in chat says it is installed properly as well but needs to be added to my profile. It was working properly a few days ago but some update changed a setting. I have also attempted to use Chromium as well with the same results. I know this is related to my installation but cannot find a consolidated set of instructions to complete the installation. I am a new linux user and am still learning. Assistance would be great.

Hi, since I've upgraded my OS to ubuntu 10.04 I'm experiencing this error when I try to create a new folder of bookmarks: "Script: file:///usr/lib/firefox-3.6.3/modules/debug.js:57".The "errors console" is blank and if needed I can add a screenshot of the error; I need help to avoid kind of error. Thanks

I have a friend with an old computer on dial up. He only has Win 98, first edition, but wants firefox. I'd like to burn it on a CD for him, along with some extensions, but first I have to find the download. Would somebody please give me a pointer?

I've just installed Xubuntu 10.04 and it comes with Firefox 3.6. I managed to import all of my bookmarks perfectly but when I tried to re-arrange them manually by click-n-dragging them in the sidebar the only thing that happens is that Firefox opens the bookmark I've just clicked on. Same thing happens with the bookmarks library. Same also happens with the bookmark folders.

Not entirely sure about this but could it have something to do with the amount of bookmarks? The HTML file I imported is roughly 25 megabytes.

with linux 10.04 web pages do not reload automatically anymore

I need to get and put files from Firefox in an external program, so I need to be able to export/import JSON files programmatically (probably the command line). Is there a switch I can use, or some other way to do this?

Apparently the print order was pressed several times. Now there is a long list of print orders and the printer will not work.

Firefox 3.6.3 tarball installed on Linux prints version 3.5.4 with Help/About. Tried rebuilding from 3.6.3 source tarball, but the version string printed is still 3.5.4.

I have a 320K bookmarks file. Earlier versions of Firefox sucked this way but 3.5.9 raises the suck to 11. It loses the contents of bookmark folders within a few hours of starting, then everything else within a day. NOW 3.5.9 WILL FAIL TO WRITE A BACKUP FILE. It says it will, doesn't report an error, and leaves you WITH NOTHING. And now, it refuses to load the backup files "unable to process...". And I think, but I'm not sure, after I forced it to write a "bookmarks.html" file, it deleted it.

These errors have been around for years. But now THEY ARE GETTING WORSE. WTF? Is anyone listening? Is there even a bug opened for this or is this less important than reordering tabs?

What's up with this?

Recently firefox stop working for our NIS domain users. The firefox starts but the browsing and search functionalities are not working. We've checked that this is not a problem of corrupted profile.

As a final hint firefox works perfectly if is started on terminal by the the local root account.

Downloaded firefox-3.6.3.tar.bz2 to my home directory. from root termial I entered the following lines: mv firefox-3.6.3.tar.bz2 /usr/lib/ cd /usr/lib/ tar -jxvf firefox-3.6.3.tar.bz2 ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox

Created a symlink as follows: rm -rf /usr/firefox/plugins; ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins /usr/lib/firefox/plugins

Created a launcher on debian desktop, but am uncertain about the proper command to use, I tried using "firefox" but nothing happened.

If I navagate to my file structure " / usr bin " I find firefox, but can't open or run it.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks. David.

Under Mac OS X 1.05: if Firefox is already running and I type (in a Terminal): /Applications/Firefox.App/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin http://google.com

a pop-up comes out and complains that "Firefox is already running". The behavior under Linux is load the requested URL in a new tab|window. I have also tried *documented* options such as "-new-tab" and "-remote", but I get the same error. This only happens when Firefox is already running.

Is there a way to load a new URL from the command line if Firefox is already running, under Mac OS X? I have tried Mac's open(1), but it does not get along well with Tab Mix Plus, so it is useless for me.

I think that this difference in the behavior between Linux and Mac's version is very very very annoying for developers and users!

I am a new user to xubuntu 10.04, and I just installed it on a computer duel-booting with Vista. Whenever I try to download an add-on, the opens the download add-ons screen, but nothing else. Then, it quits out saying that Firefox could not install the file at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/latest/9825/addon-9825-latest.xpi?src=search because: Download error -228
