Firefox Support Forum

Anytime I right click Firefox goes back one page. This is really annoying for several reasons. I can't copy anything or spell check. Also my middle finger when resting on the mouse frequently clicks the right click button when I don't want it to, which just happened, so I've had to retype this whole thing. I can't seem to find any answers online. I've check plugins, extensions and options with no joy.

Long story, short version: Problem is a progression from bad to worse. Firefox 33.3 won't download or save files (images, web pages, etc.). File picker doesn't open/ can't browse folders, etc. Tried troubleshooting including: reset firefox, safe mode, new profile, rename profile folder files, reset about:config entries, clean install, etc.- nothing changed. Running Windows XP with all updates installed. Using Avast free, Zonealarm free, etc. Workaround currently using down them all add-on is "ok". Any help is most appreciated.

When I click a link within a page that is unknown to be a broken link, I am directed to a search engine other than my default. I've changed the the value for the location bar not to use it as a search even though I am not searching from there, just surfing. A sample link that creates this is: https://uk.search.yahoo.com/yhs/errorhandler?hsimp=yhse-001&hspart=CND&type=AFFF62550C25C4647BFF_s11_g_e&q=http://www.goldnopportunities.com/ goldnopportunities.com being the click through link on a previous page (not the search/location bar).

I've read through multiple threads on this in attempt to not waste people's time with a silly question. After trying the myriad of ideas, the problem persists. When I open a new tab whether with about:newtab or about:blank, the cursor does not focus anywhere. It doesn't matter if I use cntrl t or the "+". I'd like to get it to focus in the address bar by the end of things.

Here is what I've tried:

I've changed the the about:newtab to about:blank. This didn't work.

I disabled all extensions - which is to say the Classic Theme Add-On which is the only one I have. That didn't work.

I started in Safe Mode, that didn't work.

I've reset Firefox. That didn't work.

I've reinstalled Firefox, that didn't work.

I'm concerned that I'll have to get lucky like https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/972359 and wake up to the problem resolving itself. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

I keep getting pop-overs saying my Java is out of date. I already have updated Java and removed any previous versions to prevent a false reading. How do I block this from happening. This occurs on all of my computers when using Firefox. It is getting out of control.

the correct logo will appear upon start up and then it quickly changes to a different logo quickly... the same original with a much larger flame ... i did make a snapshot of it... but i don't know how to paste it to this message.. I'm concerned that i'm being redirected.. Do you have a different logo for the firefox 33.03 version?

I have been using Google maps UK. Suddenly now only get blank map screen. Street view works OK. Tried clearing cache and cookies, updated FF to 33.0.3. PC on XP SP3. Works OK in IE8. Only thing I know I have done recently is load Kaspersky. Any ideas?

Please help! Crashing every few minutes. No rhyme or reason.

This report also contains technical information about the state of the application when it crashed.

When starting firefox despite having Ghostery enabled in my addons list it seems to start disabled.

To get it to function I have to go into addons and disable and re-enable it.

Is there some way to get it to work properly?

I'm browsing the net. Two tabs open. I click on a link in one or try to close a tab and nothing happens. Firefox then turns to a plain white page although scrolling the mouse around proves it can links are still being registered. Right click at the top and the menu options become available. Go top right and left click where the Close symbol will be and Firefox will close ( if one tab ) or ask to confirm ( if more than one tab )

However, i cannot see anything no matter what and have to End Task in Task Manager

Any ideas ? Only happened in the last week or two

FF goes to the correct address, but a box comes up that says ff will not allow the page to load. There is a sign in box for me to sign in to "my,yahoo.com" and then it goes to the homepage. The address for my homepage is correct, but will not load until I sign in. This never has happened on my desktop. How can I get around this? Every time I leave and come back, I have go do this.

Thanks~MLJ

Well I just got the new version of Firefox which is the 30.0 version I believe, and my themes aren't working. It's a bit frustrating and I've been scouring the internet and fiddling around with it for about 2 hours and now and honestly it's getting repetitive. Could you possibly help? I click the "Add to Mozilla Firefox" button on the theme thingy and it doesn't add; I go to my downloaded themes section and press "Enable" but the theme still doesn't show up. It's just my default grey. If you could help, thanks.

Hi

I hope someone can help, my Firefox crashes everytime when opening or accessing my download folder.

Please find the latest crash report code: 6156b6ac-acb2-495e-bba2-a17c9cc83a56

Thanks

The homepage on Firefox is set to default (Firefox with Google search). In that setting, my search history was the one that appeared in the Google search box. By clicking on that search box, the entire history would appear, and I could choose or modify the history as needed. Recently, Firefox updated itself to Version 33.0.3. Now when the "Home" icon is clicked, the original home page appears briefly. Then a second similar homepage appears, which brings up Google search with the Google's autofill/autocomplete feature. I could disable the autofill/autocomplete feature using about:config. But I prefer the original home page. How could I prevent the newer home page from loading over my original page with my search history? Thanks.

When I access firefox a box pops up asking if it can make changes to the hard drive. This is on my laptop and just started. How do I stop this from occurring? I have moved the bar down in the area so as not to ask so much.

"You have asked Firefox to connect securely to www.google.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure." Have tried all the listed fixes, uninstall/reinstall, malware/virus scan, etc. NOTHING WORKS!!!

Every time I open the following URL, i get that 'Firefox won't allow this page to reload'. I have listed it in my allowables, but no luck. I use this site on a daily basis and it has not become annoying: https://www.magnetmail
