Firefox Support Forum

Hello,

I am running FF 29.0.1 and going to ANY page gives me the same error, over and over again.

Tijdstempel: 21-5-2014 01:13:13 Error: localhost:26143 uses an invalid security certificate.

the certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed

(Errorcode: sec_error_ca_cert_invalid)

As for an example, when I go to google.com, this error will showup a couple of thousand times in the FF errorconsole. When I press 1 letter in the google search bar, the error shows up 37 times...

As I am using the error console allot for site debugging, I really have to get ride of these errors that flush away the important ones. My system is running a Apache server, for local developing purposes. However, I have NOT set a certificate, nor am I using port localhost:261432 (or SSL for that matter). CMD->Netstat tells me that programID "4" is listening to that port, which is the "System" (NT Kernel & System). But I assume "System" functions as an internal proxy, so what program really listens to that port, is unclear to me... I have not been able to find any rootkits on my PC and I am not using any proxies. Also, I have not seen any screen asking me to "trust" the certificate, nor have I been able to actually find the un-trusted certificate in FF........ Left of the address bar, FF shows me the correct certificate of the site, in green and does not tell me that it is invalid...

The weird part of this all; the error stops showing up when I enable private mode!

Any help is welcome!

I think I clicked something near the bottom of Firefox, and now the task bar at the bottom of the computer screen disappears when I go on Firefox. It goes a bit transparent when I first goon Firefox but then disappears completely when I click anywhere on Firefox. I want to have the task bar back. (By task bar I mean the thing at the bottom with the start menu and things on)

Firefox 29.0.01 Windows 8.1

There doesn't appear to be an easy way to reset the default search engine to be used in searches in the address bar. Am I missing something?

And also, why can Yahoo hijack this function, making itself the default search engine?

I just upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7. I reinstalled firefox, added the speeddial that I liked so much, and then tried to use firefox. I can't type the web address into the address bar when I start firefox. I always have to open a new tab before it'll let me do it. Also, I can't highlight and copy what's typed there - AND I can't "paste and go" anymore. Is that open gone?

When I first open Firefox, it opens to Google, which is my preferred homepage. I have set Google as my preferred search engine on the Firefox toolbar. However, whenever I open a tab in the existing window, it opens to the unwanted Bing. How do I set Firefox so that new tabs opened in the existing window open to Google. I am not tech savvy, so I would appreciate it if any answer takes that into account. Thanks.

I have looked for the navigation bar by right clicking on the open area and trying to find the buttons and have had no luck. I checked "view" thinking that it might be in there. When i right click the only options that I have are Menu Bar, and Bookmarks bar. I want to have Reload, stop, and my forward button back. If you could please help me I would greatly appreciate it. Firefox has always been my favorite browser and I'm upset that I am unable to find my navigation bar. Thank you!

In Version 29 of FireFox the "folder" or "link" icons of the bookmark toolbar are stuck VISIBLE.

I simply wish to hide/delete the icon, showing only the text as I had before. The icons are basically meaningless and I don't need them to be visible.

Please suggest the correct path for adjusting this.

Thx.

Firefox crashes constantly. Tried starting it in safe mode, and then disabling the javascript-line. Helped for a few days, but now the crashes are back

The 10 latest crash reports (all today): bp-9ce11f44-53e5-4e5b-8d24-444a82140530 bp-4f853bef-a467-421f-b200-5aa2e2140530 bp-24843b24-7d08-4ab1-8c13-204082140530 bp-e8274262-219f-4711-8e85-560622140530 bp-2ba874e6-ca77-490e-aa31-39e152140530 bp-21dc620e-59aa-4084-a823-80a9a2140530 bp-a9aebf9c-acf2-47ec-b0d5-449102140530 bp-603cd787-208a-4c23-95b0-db5822140530 bp-ac705fb4-f382-4957-bbe0-141b52140530 bp-677b2c3c-2160-4959-a005-62f6a2140530 bp-a8f5a9c1-6ddc-40d0-b21d-812c42140530

I have used Expedia many times in the past without difficulty. Recently, however, whenever I try to search for flights on Expedia, I get a message that says "Sorry, we're having a problem on our end. Please try your search again later". But I'm able to search without problem from other computers. I've cleared my cache, cookies, and browsing history. I'm using the most recent version of Firefox. I had let some people borrow my laptop recently to check gmail accounts, but I've logged them out of everything. Any suggestions?

I found that Tor project recommends not to use vidalia client. Also I found that torbutton add-on has been removed and foxyproxy's tor wizard doesn't work. Is there a way to use tor with a browser other that its built-in firefox?

I keep finding that tabs close unexpectedly when I click in the centre of the tab to return to it. Instead of re-opening the tab is closes. This has been happening repeatedly for ~ 10 days.

I have not changed any settings I have done a Firefox Reset (as things were running slowly) I have checked the settings in Tabs, and found nothing related to this.

thanks very much.

After successfully reaching www.foxnews.com, I try to branch to one of the stories in the sight and receive the "Request Timeout The server timed out while waiting for the browser's request.

Reference #2.5cab3c41.1399773250.0 Using Internet Explorer I do not have this problem. How can I make this timeout go away

When trying to access a website, getting message: "The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided." I have been able to access the site without any problems until yesterday. There is no option allowing me to continue to the page, so I attempted to add an exception manually. However, when I try to do this on my "certificates" tab, I get a message telling me that this website already has a valid certificate. What's the problem? I am able to access the site on other computers, it is only on my laptop that this problem appears....

My orange firefox button disappeared, and when I posed the ? I got "the button only appears when the menu toolbar if off" My menu toolbar IS off, I never have it on. I want my firefox button back!

I've heard there is a way to use FF as a default browser but still have select desktop shortcuts use only IE because that's what they need to work. How do I do that?

I'm still using XP3 pro but will soon be on Win7.

Every time I try using Firefox to stream Netflix, it usually gets stuck on the loading screen (the one with the red rolling circle with the percentage complete in the middle) and it takes 10+ minutes to load it completely. It works on Google Chrome but I don't want to use it because FF is the best browser for me. I have hardware acceleration disabled.

After the new firefox update, I cannot play videos from:

1. www.TED.com (like http://www.ted.com/playlists/81/ted_in_3_minutes)

or listen to music from: 1. http://www.air1.com/broadcast/playnow.aspx?media=listen&bt=3&

I contacted AIR1 support and they confirmed there is indeed a problem with playing music from firefox.

I have tried to resolve this by: 1. updating flash 2. uninstalling / re-installing flash 3. safe mode in firefox

Thanks!
