What to do? I am posting from my wife's toshiba notebook. I can no longer access the internet or most applications on my dell notebook. I CAN start up and access Control Panel for the first 3-5 minutes. Then NOTHING WORKS ... frozen state. Restarted half-a-dozen times.
WAIT ... the Dell just opened one application and an error message popped up (see attached). I selected Refresh Firefox. Thanks

I have a problem using ebay Australia. When I click on items whether or not they are in my ebay watch list, Firefox does not bring up that item. I get the following message:
The page isn’t redirecting properly.
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
As an example,
Ebay.com.au https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/kenwood-r-sg7-A-class-amplifier/152688016918?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
This does not occur on other ebay sites, only Australia, and I don't have the problem with other browsers. I don't even have the problem on my laptop computer (the last time I checked).
I have renamed cookies.sqlite and have checked my cookies permission, and even cleared them and history.
Can anyone suggest a solution that works please, because I am stuck using Chrome for ebay, and I hate it.
Thanks.

This is really more of a feature request but I couldn't find anywhere but the old forums to post it and they hadn't been updated since 2010, I saw.
My idea would be really cool, I think. As I say in the title, a "window-ed full screen" is what I would like. I have no clue how you would go about this but I would really like to be able to tell Firefox, in a smaller window, to enter full screen and the URL bar, the favorites bar, everything disappears and all that's left is the web page. This way, users could maximise on window space and have, say, six windows open while writing a paper so they can view paper requirements, view a source, edit their references, etc. while still editing the main document with that window maximised. I have added a a screenshot below that demonstrates and explains a bit further what I would like to see implemented.

Firefox stopped letting me print duplex automatically (only offers manually).
Other browsers let me print duplex automatically, but Firefox stopped offering me this option, letting me print duplex manually only.

Only one site is being re-directed. It is being re-directed at the .com level of address, preventing a work-around with a more specific sub-address.
I can find no extensions or add-ons, not even those listed below.
I can find no instructions in the Windows Registry that would account for this behavior.
Help, please.

The new FF DevEdition theme has a thinner bookmarks bar when in Normal density. The old bookmarks bar thickness is only on the Touch density setting. Is there a way like through about:config that I can have the "normal" density with the old thickness bookmarks bar?
I am using: Firefox Developer Edition 57.0b1 (64-bit) on Aurora update channel
P.S. There is a glitch where you can do this, but you have to do it for each open window. I want a permanent solution. The glitch: Go to Customize, add Flexible Space before Bookmarks Toolbar Items, switch to another tab and come back, remove Flexible Space, and exit Customize. Another glitch is by restoring the window, then maximizing it.

Firefox not respecting printer driver's choice of black only

This is really weird.
My husband and I share the same (up-to-date) version of firefox but have different profiles. We are using the same printer, printer driver and presets. I have tons of extensions and he has very few. He doesn't know enough about computers to make any advanced changes in firefox.
Here's the problem. When using his profile, we can't get Firefox to print in black and white only. The driver is clearly set for black and white, but pages print in color. This happens even when I start in safe mode using his profile. In my profile and in a "clean" profile I keep around for troubleshooting purposes, Firefox prints in black when we ask it to. I tried his profile on an old version of Firefox (51) that I keep around when I need to use plug-ins and pages still print in color when they're supposed to print in black, so it looks to me as if the issue is clearly with his profile. I tried resetting the print.print (whatever Mozilla said to reset) setting in about:config, but that didn't do anything. BTW the setting print.print_in_color and the printer-specific print_in_color setting are both true, if that means anything. I tried changing them to false, but as soon as I try to print anything with his profile, they revert to true.
What setting could have gotten changed that's causing the problem and is there a fix short of rebuilding a new profile for him?

I keep having a problem with a specific web site (weatherunderground) . This problem has been going on for about a month now. Weatherunderground help dept. suggests putting weatherunderground on Firefox's safe site list. How do I do such a procedure? Also, when I try and run Firefox in safe mode, the problem only gets worse, actually far worse? So, running with no add-ons was of no help. I was given a suggestion of creating a new profile some time back. What specifically would that do? I'm trying to avoid making my computer worse off, or creating a bigger problem. Unfortunately, the web site, weatherunderground seems unable to resolve the problem, if it is in fact their problem, and that is sort strange, given that is a big web site and used by many. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thank you.

Hi, I really like the narrator feature in Reader Mode, however the default on my System (Fedora 24 GNU+Linux) is espeak and I can hardly understand half of what it's reading/ "saying." I installed pyttsx, festival and flite but none of them are now shown, only "Default" and languages for default. Where does Firefox look for these voices? Which file do I need to edit?
Thanks and regards
Why aren't bookmark separators showing in toolbar for 55.0.3?
Separators show up in "Show your bookmarks". You can add separators there and they display only in "Show your bookmarks" but not on the actual toolbar itself.

Hello
I recently started experimenting with the latest Firefox nightly in anticipation of Firefox 57. It is pretty fast and I am happy about it. After every update the browser clears all the certificates from the certificates and I am not able to visit any https site. I do have a few trusted root certificates in my configuration. I also use violentmonkey extension for running greasemonkey scripts. Not sure if they are the root cause.
On a fresh install of nightly I have the prepopulated list of certificates that I can use. Then I add some more server certificates to allow me to use my websites. The next day after the update all certificates are gone even the pre-existing ones. I have to refresh firefox to fix this issue currently but this is inconvenient as it gets rid of all my custom certs and violentmonkey extension.
Any solutions / workarounds?
Thanks in advance Rohit
How can I make all bookmarks show on the dropdown bookmark tab, instead of having to click the "show all bookmarks" link?

I usually have 12 to 20 bookmarks. I like for them all to be on the list when I click the "Bookmarks" button. Now there are 5 on that dropdown window. To get to the rest I have to click on "Show all bookmarks". That window requires a double click on the bookmark and doesn't close when I go to a bookmark. Is there a way to just have all the bookmarks show on the first dropdown window?

Hi, We are running RHEL Server release 6.9 with firefox-52.3.0-3.el6_9.x86_64 RPM. We have a user who notes she cannot view gzipped postscript files from the web the document viewer ( RHEL6 evince). The first view is successful, subsequent views are unsuccessful.
We think this is because the first view is downloaded to /tmp/mozilla_userid0/filename.ps.gz. Evince can open and display this file.
Subsequent views of the same filename.ps.gz files are downloaded to /tmp/mozilla-userid0/ as fiilename.ps-1.gz, . Evince (the document viewer) does not seem to be able to open files with ps-1.gz file extensions.
Please let me know if you need more info. Any help is appreciated.
