Firefox Support Forum

For the past week, Firefox while browsing and choosing/clicking on a website I get an unwanted promotional website, and I cannot get the website originally wanted.

This happened

A few times a week

== About a week ago

I want to change settings in firefox so the ads on the site below appear.

When i clivk the + sign on the tabs bar or select NEW TAB on the file menu a new tab does not open if i select fire fox help from the help menu a new tab open and i can then go to my home page and use as normal This is since updating to 3.6.15

I check to see which toolbars are displayed and the Menu, Navigation and Bookmarks toolbars are checked to display. I uninstalled and re-installed but still no firefox button on my screen.

Whenever I switched or opened a new tab in Firefox 3.5 the tab remembered all the pages that were visited in that tab, and would show a dropdown list when I clicked the small arrow next to the back/forward buttons.

When I switched tabs the dropdown would show the pages that I used to get to the page in the second tab.

Now all tabs have their history lumped together in 1 place and I have no idea how I got to many of the places I find.

and found FF did not copie All of my bookmarks...so i deleted them...thinking I could take the same steps again (copie the bookmarks again). This is not possible!! If I click the file button, the "import"line/text (so to speak) is light gray, and I can't click it....so I'm not able to copy them anymore to FF for a 2cnd time. Is there anyone who has an idea how to fix this?! Thanx, Debora

I've upgraded our XP pc to Firefox & I don't have the new Firefox button - I've still got the old File - Edit etc menu at the top. The Tabs etc have all changed - it's just the button that hasn't appeared. My husband has a different XP user on the same pc, and he does have the new button, rather bizarrely (since, presumably, we're both running the same software!).

When a new tab is opened via launching a URL from another application on Windows (e.g. Outlook), the tab close buttons disappear, even with only two tabs. By carefully grabbing the right window border and dragging *inwards* (i.e. making the window narrower), the buttons suddenly appear on all tabs, thus illustrating that it's not a problem with the tab widths.

How do I turn off the "switch to tab" feature? Why? The site I want runs a Java program, and I want the program to run multiple times. I looked in Tools > Options > Tabs and found no way to turn off the "switch to tabs." I looked thru the entire Options and found nothing. I thought Tools > Options > Advanced might hold the key to a solution, but I found nada.

Somehow a picture of a nice young lady has appeared to the right of the heading on my copy of Firefox. A brownish picture that obscures other material so it is having a very negative effect. How do I remove it please - permanently

Firefox 4 affects other programs on my DoD computer. I use 4 at home with no issues, but I can not use 4 at work. I just want to know if I can use 3.6.17 indefinitely.

I asked a question yesterday via this page but couldn't find a box to click to be notified of answers. Today I signed in but can't find a link to my question. Perhaps I don't know what to look for.

Upgraded Firefox this morning. Before in the upgrade when in Facebook, used to see a full size preview of a photo before clicking the photo to open it. This was very useful and timesaving. Don't know if was a Firefox feature or Facebook feature! Any help welcomed.
