When starting a chat session using HELLO you cannot select your video or audio preference. Once in the chat session, you still do not have the ability to alter which video and audio source are in use. This seems to be a developmental oversight. The recipient of the chat invitation does have the proper functionality to alter their sources. When will this be corrected?

I have a scrollTop jquery script that has been working for years but does nothing since I loaded Firefox 36. The script still works under Chrome and IE, so it must be an issue with FF. The script is this: function scrollTo() { var e = document.getElementById("findname"); var x = e.options[e.selectedIndex].value; var $target = $('#'+ x); var targetOffset = $target.offset().top;
$('html, body').animate({scrollTop: targetOffset-15}, 900);
}; And is activated by an onClick event: <input type="button" value="Click to find" onClick="scrollTo()"/>
turning off hardware acceleration fixed my image loading issue. is there another way around this?

System details: OS: Windows 8.1 Professional (64-bits) Graphics Card: PNY NVidia GT 610 (2GB) RAM: 5GB Firefox version: 36.0 (32-bits)
Starting yesterday, when images would load on websites, some of them would either be completely black, or mostly black, with only a piece of the images loaded, only to fully load several minutes later.
Turning off hardware acceleration resolved this issue, but reduced the overall performance of firefox. Is there any other way to work around this issue, besides turning off hardware acceleration?
Note: The only 2 things I didn't try were resetting firefox, and a fresh install of firefox. I don't want to lose my addon data, and custom firefox settings, because it takes too long for me to put them back where they are now.
I'm also fairly computer savvy, so you can get pretty technical with me. If I don't understand something, I will ask.

For about a month or so Firefox has been crashing constantly. At first I'd get errors about the plug-in container. Someone suggested deleting that, but it didn't solve the problem. I've removed and reinstalled both Firefox and flash but that didn't fix it. Although I don't get errors about the plug-in container anymore, now it often just freezes, or it will tell me that firefox has crashed.
I've tried most of the other remedies that were suggested on this forum. I toggled hardware acceleration, I've updated my graphics card drivers, I've re-installed without all the plug-ins.
Now that I reinstalled there doesn't seem to be any record of crash reports either, even though it has crashed 4-5 times since the reinstall. Do I need to do something to enable crash reports?
Thanks for any help you can give!!

Hello,
I've recently updated to Firefox 36.0, and since then (or around that time), my Outlook Web App stopped working properly. Some emails I can send, some I can't, even with one and the same recipient email address. I also cannot upload attachments, and sometimes there are problems downloading attachments. The error message for when I cannot send emails says there is a problem with the connection, and the error meassages for updates says that there is a configuration problem on the server. I have this problem in several WiFi and Lan-cable connections, but with Internet Explorer everything works fine. My laptop runs on Windows 7.
I've un-installed and re-installed Firefox. I've emptied my cache and deleted all history. I've removed Firefox from the list of allowed programmes from my firewall, and then put it back on the list again. I've checked my plug-ins for updates. None of this has helped.
Any advise would be much appreciated.

When I click the star to bookmark a site it goes into the recently bookmarked area of the library. I then drag or cut or copy and past it into a folder I already have in the bookmark library, but it doesn't disappear from the recently bookmarked. If I delete it from the recent, it also gets deleted from the folder in the library. What can I do to keep it in the folder but remove it from recently bookmarked?

The website is one of our local restaurants: Mainefishmarket.com. I was able to visit this site just a couple of days ago. Previously it had a www prefix, but when I try that I get a text only error message. Without the www I got through. Now when I try, it wants me to download: "Flash Player Update_10924i40814784-il345.exe" from http:\ files.red-1-small-button.com.
When I type in the maine.. address in the browser bar, firefox shows this address, which makes me all the more suspicious: browser-updatez.ru/?80&source=mainfishmarket.com.
Who should I contact about this? It looks like a serious attempt to take over my computer.

A friend of mine asked me to help him out with this and I'm sorry to say, I'm stumped. He's got a Windows 8.1 system (full version, U.S. not K or N), this is his regular office computer (he's the manager at a Electrical Contractor) and he watches Weather.Com and it's videos to try and plan for any snow closings. At some point, the videos on Weather.Com stopped playing and all they show is a black window on the page where the video should be playing.
There was another thread (archived now) about this problem on FireFox 25 (he's using the latest 35.0.1 and the latest Flash player 16.0.0.305) and I tried several of the suggestions in that old thread: First FireFox has minimal addons, uses the Noia Fox 3.0.1 theme and that's it; plugins listed are OpenH264 Video Codec; Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.305; Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10.32; Google Earth Plugin 7.1.2.2041; Google Update 1.3.26.9; iTunes Application Detector 1.0.1.1; NVidia 3D Vision 7,17.13.4411; Picasa 3.0.0.0 and that's all, no AdBlock Plus or anything else. I tried FireFox in safe mode and still couldn't watch; the driver for the nVidia 610 graphics adapter was slightly out of date and I updated it to the latest 347.52 and that made no difference.
I was able to watch Weather.Com videos with IE; I was also able to watch YouTube and MSN videos with FireFox and this problem seems to only affect Weather.Com.
Does anyone have any idea's?

I was searching the forum for translators and noticed some past questions about it.

Hey,
i hope someone have an answer to this problem.
My windows vertical scroll mouse setting is set to 5. The problem is that if/when firefox crashes or is force closed then this value is reset to 1.
have tried same approach with all other browsers, and many programs, but firefox is the only one that actually resets this value.
i cannot find anything in about:config that should set it to 1 in case of crashes etc.
i have tried to re-install both my mouse driver, my touch-pad driver(laptop Synaptics). and tried to reinstall firefox. even after reinstalling windows it still persists in this matter.
i have an Asus G74sx laptop running windows 7 Ultimate
hope anyone can shed some light as to why the problem occurs ?

When I started Firefox it failed to restore my previous tabs and groups, and "Restore previous session" was greyed out. On previous occasions I have made a backup of my profile, found the backup session store file and use that to successfully restore my session. On this occasion however, this is not working.
What I'm trying to do now is to see if I can edit the recovery.bak file to try to get it working – e.g. find corruption and remove it. One thing I've noticed to start off with is that the count of "[" symbols is much higher than the count of "]" symbols – presumably they should be equal.
Is there anywhere I can find information on the format of this file? One thing I'm wondering is how it stores tab groups, so that I can isolate tabs from particular groups and remove them.
