Firefox Support Forum

Some webpages force download of images either with change of the image mime type or (I think) with javascript. Is there any way to force all jpg/png/gif files to open in new tab when given a direct link to it.

my netflix isn't working because it says my silverlight is outdated. how do i update silverlight when the silverlight updater says "Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight." I am using Windows XP64. It seems I had this problem a few months ago but silverlight seemed to have fixed its self.

I tried the two methods I've heard so far to disable the new firefox 19 pdf viewr: -in about:config set pdfjs.disable to true -options>Applications>set pdf view application

The trouble: when I set the viewing application for pdf to Foxit, firefox automatically downloads the pdf to open it in the separate application. Up until firefox 19, the Foxit reader application would open in the browser. Since Foxit does not have a firefox add-on, how do I disable the firefox 19 pdf viewer and use Foxit Reader to open pdfs as a new tab in the browser?

I just want to disable spacebar scrolling pages in firefox 13.0.1 (or any other version not too old) by any means, maybe I can intrude some code into firefox files or is there some official option to disable the page scroll when i press spacebar?

hey, Im trying to find a way to add a custom font to the list in the firefox font options. The font is installed on my system. I have googled it a fair amount, and cant seem to find anything of use for me.

Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks for any help

(please keep in mind that im a script/code rookie)

MY NEW TAB PAGE CHANGED TO A "CONDUIT.COM" PAGE (after I updated the bittorrent) RATHER THE ORIGINAL THUMBNAIL PAGE, how do I get it back?

Firefox just made me update to 13.0.1, and now I can't search on with google, yahoo, ixquick, or startpage. Whenever I do I get this:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to startpage.com.

SSL received a record with an incorrect Message Authentication Code.

(Error code: ssl_error_bad_mac_read)

I've tried reinstalling it, installing older versions, and troubleshooting pages, but nothing works. I can go to websites that I have favorited or ones that I have links too, but I can't just use search bars. Does anyone else have this problem, and know how to fix it?

Previously, I had installed the Symbola font because certain symbols were not displaying properly in Firefox (notably on Twitter). Installing the font solved the problem for the most part (the four bit hex characters still didn't show up, but the six bit ones did).

After updating to 13.0.1 the other day, the six bit hex codes do not show the correct symbol anymore with Symbola still installed. I even deleted Symbola from my fonts, redownloaded it (a newer version, no less), installed it, and opened Firefox, and it did not solve the issue. Like the 50 million other things that Firefox broke with the update to 13. -_-

EDIT: This issue has since persisted with 14.0.1.

FireFox v13.0.1 installed on Win 7/64 system.

Adobe Flash and Shockwave installed yesterday.

Whenever I try to view a Youtube video, I select it and the screen with the arrow appears. When I click on the start arrow, the screen goes black and a warning on the screen appears:

An error occurred. Please try again later.

On the same machine, YouTube videos play fine on IE v9 and Google Chrome v19.0.1084.56 m.

Suggestions, or is this goodbye to FireFox?

Thanks

Like a lot of others, I have had terrible problems with this damn incredibar thing that has somehow gotten onto my laptop. Thanks to the other threads in the forums I have managed to get Firefox back to what I originally had, (remove webassistent, check about:config etc...) but I still have one concern. When I search for incredibar in about:config, I still get a whole load of extensions.incredibar results. I am not very technically literate when it comes to these things but is there anyway I can remove these or are they just remnants that I am better off leaving alone? The incredibar extension doesn't seem to come up in the list under the Firefox Tab. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Chatzum has installed itself on Firefox.and appears as default search engine each time I open a new tab. It does not appear in the search enhines list or as an add-on. Can you suggest how to remove it

I am trying to view my security cameras remotely online. This previously worked with IE8, but not with Firefox or IE9. Is there an extension or plugin available as a work around?

Clicking on links to Excel files used to work. Within last 2(?) weeks the files will not open. I am talking about the basic old .xls files.

Clicking once opens the Excel software only. Double clicking open two windows with empty Excel software. Clicking one to open the software. And then going back to click a second time opens the actual file.

On all clicks the download popup box shows the file being downloaded. And no it is not showing up on my desktop or in any other files.

My computer, or the software (windows 7) crashed yesterday. I got my system back up and running through HP tech support. But, now I have the problem of trying to restore all my bookmarks that I had with firefox before the crash. Unfortunately, HP's tech support can't seem to help that issue, even though I did do a backup on a DVD prior to the fix. Being I suspect firefox has a way of remembering my bookmarks, how in the world can I now reinstall those bookmarks, and I had plenty, to my now repaired windows 7 system? I'm sure hoping, there has to be a way to restore all of my previous bookmarks! Can anyone help?

i am writing html code in a text file and then saved it as a html file. But when i open that file in firefox it displays the html code everytime i try to open the file.i have tried internet explorer also but i am facing the same problem. I am using windows 7 64-bit OS. I can't find a solution to it?

I recently installed utorrent.The problem started after that.The home page is Google, but on opening a new tab, I don't get the thumbnails that is usually displayed, instead search.conduit page is opened.How can I get my old settings back? I even uninstalled utorrent to see if this problem goes away, but it doesn't.
