Firefox Support Forum

I used GNU/Linux, and when I look the properties of desktop and panel shortcut to firefox the command are /usr/bin/firefox %U. What does %U means? When I typed it manually on my terminal it the firefox start and goes to http://www.%u.com/. But that not occured when I click on the shortcut. What is the reason for this different behaviour? Thanks in advance.

Why firefox abort all AJAX request when you press the ESC button?

I don't see any value in a feature like this. As a matter of facts no other browser do this.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

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 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.

I want to erase all certificate exceptions, that is, go back to the original default set of trusted SSL certificates. I've found the Certificate Manager and its big lists of trusted things, but I have no idea which of them ship with Firefox and which of them were added by me at some time in the past. How do I do this?

Firefox automatically updates to 3.6 when I reboot and I can no longer view flash files. When I reload 3.5.11 everything works fine until I reboot, then Firefox automatically reloads 3.6 :-( Is there any way to turn off the auto update, this is a suck ass feature! Also, some web pages are not rendered correctly. You may want to test your software a little more before you push it on to us.

using ubuntu 10.04 (lucid). when navigating a web forum, the backspace key (previous page) does not function. the scroll keys are a little jerky too. i have both 'use navigation keys' and 'smooth scrolling' enabled in options.

Google docs now gives the following message when using the spreadsheet function: U geeft Google Documenten momenteel weer in standaard HTML. Schakel over naar een ondersteunde browser om Google Documenten in realtime te bewerken en te delen. Saying it is not compatible with 3.6.12 Twitter is not posting tweets anymore. Other browsers on the same laptop work fine.

It seems every time an extension or theme updates, bing is pestering me again. This happens on several machines, running firefox 3.6.12 on ubuntu 10.04, 10.10, and win 7.

Using dual boot OS, Windows XP SP3/ Ubuntu 10.04. Same Firefox v3.16.13. In windows, using the view button in the menu toolbar, I can turn off the menu toolbar. Using Ubuntu, the same option isn't available in 'view'. I've used "About:Config" before, but am very careful and document any changes. Any time I need access to menu items, using windows, I simply use alt=_.

I could not install the flash player on my computer (linux / gnu), then the software maker told me to copy some file to the plug-ins that do not match. Could you help me? Thanks. I'm correcting this post to warn you that I still can not find the directory, ran the operations proposed, but the "terminal" prints permission denied.

Hi there, I just installed Firefox4. I was near perfect although they switch Open in New Tab/Window position. I fixed yet when clicking right on a link using userChrome.css following settings :

#context-openlink {
   -moz-box-ordinal-group: 1 !important;
}	
#contentAreaContextMenu > * {
   -moz-box-ordinal-group: 2;
}

Anyway i have still the same when right clicking on a bookmark/menu url - it show : Open Open in new Tab Open in new Window

New bookmark... New folder...

Anybody have an idea to set option in userChrome.ss 'cause atm i'm out. Thanks in advance, Golkran

I would like to save all of my tab groups, both for backup purposes but also for migration to another computer. How can I do this as a single operation?

The same consideration would apply to restoring all the tab groups from a previously saved session.

How do I stop the animations in the Chrome? They are wasteful of resources and slow down the user interface, particularly when the user interface is already being slow due to the non-multiprocessing nature of Firefox. It's like throwing cement on a tortoise.

I have Ubuntu (not sure which version), and just downloaded Firefox 6 update. After the download, I extracted all the files from the zip folder. Now, I am not sure what to do. I cannot find anything that says "update here" or anything like that. How do I actually complete the update from here?

Many png images are displaying the wrong color. For example one page the png's are green when they should be blue. On the page linked below the laptop and person are bright pink. When I save pngs and open them using other software (or use another browser) the colors are correct. I am using Firefox 6 on Ubuntu 11.04 on a MacPro
