Firefox Support Forum

I cannot save the setting "use custom settings for history" and after checking "accept cookies sites" to enable cookies, there is no place where i can save the setting, so it keeps going back to previous settings.

How do I go back to old version. I was perfectly happy with it and now I can't get my bookmarks or add new bookmarks and the articles and directions you are giving are too much for me to understand at my old age. How do I get my old one back????

Hey Guys,

There's something wrong with automatically detecting my location when downloading Firefox.

I went here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/

I clicked the download button. I am located in Thailand. The first time, I got the download from a website in Belgium. Connections to Europe are dead slow, so this was very slow. Next time I tried, I got Germany! Again, dead slow download.

I eventually found the mirrors page and was able to download at my normal 10 Mbps from the USA.

In general, automatic mirror detection for Thailand should work like this: - If there is a mirror in Thailand, use it! Connections inside Thailand are the fastest. - If there isn't, use a (any) mirror in the USA - Ignore all other countries, even if they're right next to Thailand. Speeds are going to be abysmal.

All other countries are dead slow. That's because nobody ever accesses websites in Belgium, Germany, or even Japan, Malaysia.. etc. 99.9% of all traffic out of Thailand goes to the USA. That's why all ISPs optimize speed to the USA. The rest is an afterthought. Malaysia is right next to Thailand, but it's 10x slower than USA.

So please - either fix the automatic download mirror selection. Or provide an easy way around it. This is apparently for people outside the USA, and it's not working for them.

I am a new user of firefox about to use a government site that requires tab settings to be set to (new pages in a new window) Is this the same as setting preferences to open new windows in a new tab instead?

To import bookmarks from Safari on a Mac following the instructions for the import wizard, I am to select "import" under the Firefox file menu, but "import" is grayed out, so I cannot select it.

Hi

When I type in a Google search in the top right hand search box in Firefox, it automatically uses www.google.com - I need to use google.co.uk. How can I set it to search using co.uk?

Cheers!

Navigation Toolbar keeps resetting. This has started happening since the update that added the Facemoods Toolbar. I have followed the instructions given under "Toolbar keeps resetting" in the Support section but the problem persists.

New windows don't open on top of each other in Firefox. How can I make that happen? That is, every time I open a new window, it won't open on top of the old window, and instead is positioned to the right of it. I'm on a mac. Please help.

Issue

I have a problem with my bookmarks, cookies, history or settings

Description

OS: OSX 10.6.4 Browser version: Firefox 3.6.8

This has been happening for a while, but it's starting to get very annoying.

This problem does NOT always happen, it seems to happen randomly. It can sometimes be fixed by quitting and re-opening Firefox, but I generally have to quit and open several times. My bookmarks and history will not show up when using the menu bar. (File, edit, view, hist, bookmarks, tools, window, help)

They do, however, show up in my bookmarks toolbar, organize bookmarks, and show all history.

I have tried updated torbutton, but that doesn't change anything.

Any ideas?

How do I reset so when opening Firefox my cursor automatically lands in the top menu rather than in the FireFox window below? It's extremely inconvenient to have to move my cursor back up to revive/retrieve old sites.
