Although the MacAfee green OK sign comes on when accessing e-mail in xplornet.ca via Firefox ( my default), a pop-up message tells me that MacAfee protection in real-time is turned off.Clicking on the "Turn on" button returns me after seconds to the red "turned Off" alert.

I just was forced to upgrade (darn) and my home page (Comcast.net) will not take depite following the easy instructions on "make my homepage". The Comcast site just "flickers" in the browser. All other bookmarks/favorites are fine, I now have to go to IE to access Comcast.net (home page for me). Can I "un-install" the upgrade that I was forced to download?

Firefox print previews each page in a series correctly but when I print only 1 of 3 pages it prints incorrectly- not as viewed as in Print Preview. I enter the specific page in Print Range Pages box. and move dot. IE Pages from 2 to 2.

"Error Message: An Exception occured when completing your request javax.servlet.jsp.JspException Please press Back button of your browser. "

I opened Firefox accidentally so pressed cancel thinking it wouldn't open Firefox if I did that but it opened it up anyway but didn't restore my last session (which I needed) and now I can't find how to restore it - help!!!

I have a blank bookmark that cannot be deleted or moved. Have moved out other bookmarks in its folder, renamed the folder and tried to delete folder, but folder will not delete. All other folders can be moved up and down in the bookmarks list, but not this one.

Operating system

Windows XP

on trying to upgrade firefox from v3.0.8 to v3.6.3 the bookmarks menu at the top of the page with "File. Edit. View .History.Tools and Help has disappeared. It re-appears when I revert to v3.0.8.

Every single website url address, or url address within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu.

I don't want everything added or saved in the location bar. Only urls that I used a lot used to be saved there but now every single url (and url within a url)I visit is being added to it.

How can I stop this? This just started happening.

I'm sure it's a simple browser setting but I've checked and nothing gives an option to control this.

I'm running Debian GNU/Linux, where Firefox is called Iceweasel due to licensing restrictions regarding redistribution. How do I ID as "Firefox/Windows XP service pack 2" instead?

Some music (sounds like from a slot machine) plays every time I startup Firefox. I've reinstalled the application, and replaced both the Firefox folder from the user's library Application Support folder and the org.mozilla.firefox.plist from the user's library preferences folder, using back ups from Time Machine. Still getting the music. Are there additional Firefox files I should try replcing? TIA for info...

I have a yahoo icon on my computer that allows me to see the news. So all I did was click on a link from it, and a siren like noise began beeping. So I closed Mozilla Firefox and it stopped. However, when I opened firefox again, it continued to beep on any site I go on.

I have Firefox 3.6.3 on my Macbook, but is only detected as 3.0.1on this form. When I link to the Google font website, it says, "We're sorry, but your browser is not supported by the Google Font API. To browse the fonts in the Google font directory please switch to a more modern browser." So I have to use Safari to get to the page.

the fonts on my dashboard much larger than they need to be and the window fonts are so small I can't read them, what's going on?

== Not sure when it started, it's been 2 or 3 weeks. I have reset the resolution on my computer, but doesn't seem to affect it. I've recently added google gmail, can that have anything to do with it?
