While searching images, I see one I want to check out, so I click on the link. After returning to the image search page, I continue to scroll down the page, usually using the scrolling wheel of my mouse. At random intervals, the search page will automatically return to the last image linked clicked, forcing me to close out that image and renew my search from that previous position. This is incredibly annoying.

Using Firefox on an iMac running mac OS X 10.11.6.

Hi,

  Some days before firefox was working correctly. But suddenly it starts crashing on start up. I just upgraded it and still having the same problem. Can't open anything, add on page, settings page etc.

For over a year now I have had boxes popping up in my apple macbook air saying i need to update to the latest version of firefox but then two things happen, one is i go through the whole process only to get to the end and be told that it could not update due to a problem with the system administrator, but i have checked with apple and with my husband, whose name the accounts are in, and we have all of the passwords correct, so we don't know what the problem is. Also the firefox (or mozilla? it's orange) disk drive icon is showing up on my desktop, but it's still not updated to my system. So now i'm starting to have problems in a lot of websites because my version is not up to date and therefore not providing adequate security. Please help!

So here's the problem, my inactive tabs have a terrible text colour and I can't figure out how to change that. Strangely enough, if Firefox is my inactive window, the text goes to black and is perfectly readable.

On clicking some links firefox opens below website, asks me to download exe file. https://mithusitenizolsun.org/2411165848125/f43468454d5f396f4d142ffcc686af6d.html

Hello. Some time ago I installed a program on my PC and either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox started having problems when trying to access some websites (eg: I go to https://www.google.pt and all is good, but if I remove the "s" from https it don't work; Also I am here posting using Mozilla Firefox because this websits is https). I tried a fix I found on youtube, that was changing the chrome.exe name to something like chrome1.exe, worked, but only for a few days. Tried to reinstall Google Chrome and nothing. Later I installed Google Chrome 64 bits and since then I am not having problems with Chrome, but Firefox is still with problem. Microsoft Edge (I've Windows 10) works perfectly. Now talking a bit more about the problem. Trying to access http://www.tecmundo.com.br/ , http://www.google.pt/ , http://agar.io/ , and lots of other webpages, the uploaded message shows (in portuguese, and I dont know how to change language to english quickly). I think it is maybe some adware or so that I installed with that program that is causing the problem, as it's not affecting Edge, didn't affected Chrome when I changed the exe file name and don't affect 64bit Chrome. What would I do? I tried many fixes that I found in this site and nothing is working, so I thank you for help to fix it. Thanks.

It use to be that clearing browser cache really was a one click operation. Since the last update this is no longer the case. Now it can take up to 50 clicks to clear. And when cache total gets below 100MB it goes down by tenths! I have arthritis in my hands and this is very painful!

I have JUST installed Mozilla Firefox as Youtube is a lot slower on Chrome and so far Youtube is a lot faster, I haven't installed ANY add-ons/extensions but I am unable to watch streams on twitch.tv. I have attached screenshots with what is coming up. All the solutions I have found online just say to disable any extensions or startup in safe mode which doesn't apply to me as I haven't even downloaded anything extra for firefox yet.

screenshot isn't loading, The problem is that, at the top left of my screen it says the webpage isn't secure and information can be accessed.

This is driving me crazy. When I have Firefox open in full screen with several tabs open, and then I go to another program window to do something and then come back to Firefox by clicking on the taskbar and selecting one of my Firefox tabs, the entire Firefox window, which had been full screen, shrinks to a smaller size. I really want it to stay full screen. Why does it do this? I have searched and searched and tried different things (safe mode, turning off all my add-ons, etc.) and nothing changes this behavior. What is going on? The only way to get it to remain full size is if I have the presence of mind to minimize the other windows, rather than select Firefox from the taskbar.

I can't attach any files in my outlook web app using Firefox. However, using Microsoft's Edge, there's no problem. I prefer Firefox but this is really hindering my work. I restarted Firefox, removed all plug ins, but no success with that.

Administrator on 64-bit Windows 7 Professional unable to open existing Firefox (45.0.1) or install 46.0.1 (with save or run) -- ALL ATTEMPTS produce this pop-up: "A required privilege is not held by the client."

Version 45.0.1 was working. As I usually do and have done for many versions of Firefox, I downloaded Firefox Setup Stub 46.0.1 with Save rather than Run. However, I could not run it from the download. Firefox was still working. Then I used the Update from inside Firefox (which I presume was the same download), and Firefox has not worked since. I cannot open it with the icon on my taskbar, by using the Start menu, or by clicking on firefox.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox.

I have spent HOURS searching and reading and trying possible solutions to other problems (not Firefox) where the users had that, or a similar, message. Nothing has worked.

The Securities tab of the Properties of the firefox.exe file shows three "Group or user names" -- SYSTEM, Administrators (with-my-name-here), and Users (with-my-name-again). SYSTEM and Administrators have all "Permissions for Users" allowed (except for "Special permissions" for which neither Allow nor Deny is ticked). Users has ticks to Allow only for "Read & execute" and "Read".

The Advanced Security Settings show me as Administrator as the Owner. I have "Full control" in Permissions (not inherited), and a second entry with me as Administrator also indicates "Full control" (inherited from C:\Program Files (x86)\ for this entry). The SYSTEM entry also has "Full control" (inherited from C:\Program Files (x86)\ . The Users (with-my-name) has a "Read & execute" Permission (inherited from C:\Program Files (x86)\ .

So, I have "Full control".

What does "A required privilege is not held by the client" mean?

Who is the client?

What is the "required privilege"?

And where does one get it?

For a few days I have been receiving pop-ups about updating to a newer version of Thunderbird. Normally I would do so without hesitation (as I have done in the past with Firefox). However, I am now afraid to attempt this in case the same thing happens with Thunderbird and I can't access my emails. At least I can use another browser (as I am obviously doing to post this).

Years ago I used Netscape Navigator (preferred) and Internet Explorer. The first time I used Firefox was at an Internet café on a holiday. I had to learn to use it because it was the only browser on the machines. When I got home, I downloaded Firefox and have been using it ever since. I loved the multiple tabs (which IE did not have at the time). I have IE and Chromodo on my machine, but I only use them for sites that don't work with Firefox (fewer and fewer as the years have gone by).

Can someone help me so that I can return to Firefox? Please?

Previously, when I center clicked a link etc, my screen switched to the new tab. Since installing recent update, I believe v46, the screen no longer switches to new tab until I click the new tab.

Similar questions have been answered, but if they included the solution to this problem, I have not understood. I gather there is a solution in an Accounts page in Options, but I have not ben able to find it.
