Firefox Support Forum

When I search for something, regardless of the search engine used the results of the search appear in the "active" tab. Is there a way to configure Firefox to automatically open a new tab and show the search results in that new tab? Yes, I can do it manually by opening a new tab, than doing the search, but it would be much more "user friendly" if this would be automatic. I use an Apple Mac Pro running Mac OSX 10.7

On the toolbar, I was happy with just logos. Recently, the names of the websites appeared and I cannot figure out how to get rid of them. I want just logos on the toolbar.

Is it possible to open multiple pages at once (like a home button), but allows you to select/ sort under different topics. e.g one click opens all financial tabs, another opens sports, etc

Consider that I want to sort these vairous topics as a way to review all my regular interests individually, without having some many pages open when I click the home button, only to close non relevant pages.

In essence I see it as having 2 or 3 home buttons. Does this exist?

When I tried to download the latest Firefox version, a message said that my operating system doesn't support the upgrade. But the information on download page says MAC OS X 10.5 or better is okay. My system is MAC OS X 10.5.6

Current the Firefox bookmark manager only allows to export the whole bookmark collections to a html file. I would like to know how I partially export some of them, not all, to a html file please?

I seem to be in the beta channel. Which I am finding that for my busy lifestyle, has too many incompatability issues with add ons and extensions. I don't have time to keep finding and waiting for new solutions and upgrades from your developers. I just upgraded to firefox 7 and lost some add ons that I'd rather still have.

1. can I just go back to firefox 6.3.4 or wherever I was

2. should I switch to some "slower" upgrade channel, and where would I find this?

This has happened on several different websites, in several different contexts. I enter the information but then receive a "Please provide your name and email address" or "That's not a properly formatted email address" message (depending on whatever the form's code provides for error messages for blank required fields). I've double checked, of course, and the text is entered correctly. This did occur once with autofill, the other times I entered the text myself.

Tried to load 3.6 and get the msg: disk image failed to mount. Reason: corrupt image.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

I just upgraded to OS X Lion, and when I went to work, I noticed that Firefox 5.0.1 stopped connecting to the Internet.

It refused to connect me through the corporate proxy (MS ISA + NTLMv2 Auth). After repeated attempt, it would sporadically connect me to http sites but NEVER https sites.

If you need further information, please let me know.

I have recently moved from PC to Mac. I can't figure out on the Mac how to edit bookmarks. In other words, I have a URL I use to log into applications for work, but depending on the available servers, that first URL gets rerouted to a different URL by the time I'm accessing the application. Only at that time am I able to save the bookmark, so it's saving the wrong URL to launch the next time. I'd like to edit the bookmark so I can put the right URL in the bookmark. How do I do that? Also - is Firefox synch available between PC and Mac? I don't see sync as an option on my PC's firefox.

For example, if I were to type "cnn" into the webpage address field, it would automatically go to cnn.com. Now, it goes to a google search page which functions just the same as the mini search bar on the side of the bar.

Some of these sites have used xara menus (which are javascript-based) for years without problems. Since I've used Firefox as my default browser since its first release, so I would have recognized the problem right away if it were happening before version 7. Also, I run Firefox on my iMac with Lion; I don't know if the menu-shift problem also is occurring on Windows machine with the new version of the browser. Sure hope you can tell me a quick workaround that I can install on the affected sites.

I installed Firefox 7.0.1 on a MacBook Air and an iMac, both running Lion as the OS. The iMac is fine, but every time I start Firefox on the MacBook Air two tabs start up -- one is my home page and the other is the Mozilla Firefox Startup Page. I can't find any Preference to eliminate the Startup Page and it's really annoying to have to always delete it. What am I missing?
