I have a new Toshiba Satellite. My hand seems to rest on the touch pad when I do not intend it too. I was reading something on Blackboard, for a course and suddenly it began to get so small, I can no longer read it. It continues to be that size, even though I have logged off. When I restart, everything accept that sight is normal size.

Many articles in the Washington Times have pictures but they do not show up on Firefox. They DO show up on Internet Explorer. The only pictures that show on Firefox (Washington Times) are the advertisements.

I am finally switching from Windows 2000 to XP and will reformat the HDD. I would like to preserve some cookies and stored passwords in my backup data. How can I do this?

When I try to update I get a message that I don't have privileges. Also, Firefox has been crashing. I was at Version 4 today, but after I tried to update, I had Version 3.0.

Since upgrading to Firefox 6.0, some copy is appearing in a script font that is really difficult to read. I first noticed it in the body of an email I received, but then saw it on some web sites I was visiting. It also appears when I am typing.

I am on a Mac.

i can't download firefox 6.0, like normal folks so i need to open up a terminal/console to do it, but i don't know what i need to write in there to make it happen i have already saved the file in the usr section if you can give me a simple method, that would be great i was not able to download directly from the site and asked me to save the file and then how do i proceed? i have used the terminal/console to update other programs before thanks

My computer is a 2008 MacBook. My gmail window prompts me to update to the new 6.0.2 version of Foxfire, which I've tried to do many times over the fast few months, always with the same results. The first step to download 6.0.2 to the desktop works fine. The second step tells me to drag the icon to the Application Folder when prompted. It never prompts me to drag it to the Application Folder; I've waited up to 10 minutes for this prompt. When I try to drag it without the prompt the Application Folder it seems to work. In step three I'm to drag the Application Folder to the Foxfire icon in the menu bar at the bottom on the screen. When I try the Foxfire icon won't except the Application Folder. Please help, my gmail is working less and less well.

Thank You, Linda Longacre

I recently had to restart my computer and am using the older version of Firefox. My problem is that whenever I try to download an application, the popup dialogue box that asks me where or what I want to do with that file is so tiny that I cannot get it to a bigger size. How do I get it to be bigger??

This same thing happened last year and I can't recall how I solved it. I have an sbcglobal.net email address and I customized a homepage. I also customzed an Awesome Start Google page with 8 different links to frequently visited websites. I also have passwords and logins saved for places such as live journal, facebook and twitter. Now, all of a sudden each time I open my browser, the homepage is a generic ATT page and I have to log in to get my mail - which didn't work over and over because ATT kept telling me my username or password was wrong, which it wasn't. I called them and they showed me how to reset a password and at first it worked, but then it happened again. Anyway, my internet provider is Comcast, so ATT can't really help all that much since I don't have an official account with them. Also, now each time I open the browser, the Awesome start page is back to defaults with none of my links. Also, I have to relogin to facebook, twitter, etc. I don't really use the feature from Firefox where they ask if I want the password saved, so that's not an issue. I do have Roboform and use that. Anyway, could you please tell me how to repair these problems, perhaps something to do with the profile folder - which I did try to find using the instructions, but it looked different than on your page. Help!

I have all the requirements- XP, 1GB Ram, and 2GB of free hard disk space, yet Firefox crashes many times. And each time I have to download it again, is becoming a menace.
