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.

URL of affected sites

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.

A few days back I upgraded to Ver. 4 of Firefox. But the page being displayed is not quite the same as shown/displayed by Mozilla website.

In the top left there is no ' Firefox' tab with drop down menu.

On the other hand all my previous tool bars and tabs are present. It may be noted that I have not UN-installed and re-installed the program-me. Also I am having no inconvenience in using ver. 4 otherwise.

I would be glad if any one, please, explain the phenomenon.

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.

I have FF 4.0. I would like to keep up with it as it improves. In the meantime, 3.6 was faster switching tabs and loading most sites. How do I load FF 3.6 and put it on a different profile.

I have read the explanations of ease of use by dropping the bookmarks bar and moving the tabs to the top. If that works for some then great. The nice thing about personal settings, is that they need to be for ease of use to the individual. When I follow this advice; "How do I put tabs back on bottom like they used to be?

At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button, go over to the Options... arrow and uncheck Tabs on Top. "

First, I cannot find a Firefox button, so I right click in the blank area to get options. Then I check the bookmarks bar and uncheck the tabs on top. That works until I shut off my computer. And then I have to do it all over again when I reboot.

Can I get the permanent option for these choices?

The tutorials talk about the "Firefox" button, but it doesn't exist! What were they thinking?! It's in the tutorial, but not in the software yet?

Does anyone know if there's a new release coming which includes this new feature?

I came here looking for an older version of FF to download, but a search comes up with nothing. Also, is it likely that the bank will update its support as soon as the weekend is over?

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.
