Firefox Forum di supporto

Hello! Is there anybody who knows how I can UNCHECK THE OPTION "USE A MASTER PASSWORD" in the settings. All the answers to the person who had the same problem on his/hers Mac in the community is not appliable because it's asked for HOW TO UNCHECK WHEN NO MASTER PASSWORD IS EXISTING. Everytime comes up the message to write my master password while I never had one and has not checked this option in the settings, though it's checked. This problem arose when I created a Firefox account and I think I clicked on SYNC. Has Firefox automatically checked this option for me? And do I really have to uninstall Firefox folders in order to get rid of the problem? Thanks for all short and good anwers! Kind regards Wendera

I am doing the regular updates of Firefox, I am now at version 47.0.1 on Windows 10.

Ever since an update in the series 20-something (can't exactly remember) I keep getting warnings from sites (including Mozilla's) that my Firefoxversion is outdated and is no longer supported or even cannot be used. I have already de-installed and re-installed Firefox, made a new user profile, but still the same problem. No firewall or virus blockade.

See also the imagescreen.

This is a reason for me to stop using Firefox because I cannot do everything on the internet as I want. I am already switching a bit to Chrome but I do not like that one that much so I would prefer to stay with Firefox.

Any help from somebody?

Thanks!

FIRST: I was just reading about personalizing a "new tab," which I have wanted to do. But the "new tab" that I get when I click on the + sign (I have the tab bar down the side — which I REALLY like, incidentally! — the + is at the very top.) doesn't have that gear thingy on it; it appears to be a different browser or something (I'm guessing), though I have set, time and again, FF as my default/preferred/only browser! It might be a Google page, though it doesn't have the Google look either.

ATTACHED: Is this the "new tab"? It does have a "gear" at the bottom of the page. OR, is there another place I should be looking for the "new tab" button?

SECOND: Every time I open FF, the Bookmarks Sidebar is there. I close it, but when I reopen, it's there again. This has been happening for just a few days, but it IS annoying.

When using my NVDA screen reader, it seems to be impossible to reorder Bookmarks with the keyboard. Any work around or plans to fix this in the future?

I have set up Firefox on 2 PCs running Windows 10, with the same extensions added, and with the extensions configured in the same way. However, when I hide the menu toolbar:

 -  on one PC, the "File", "Edit", "View" etc. options disappear, but the menu toolbar
    remains there (with the minimize, normal window/full screen and exit buttons
    at the right end of the menu toolbar).
 -  on the other PC, the toolbar completely disappears, and the minimize, normal
    window/full screen and exit buttons appear at the right of the Navigation toolbar.

Both PCs have the Classic Theme Restorer installed, with identical settings.

How can I control this behavior?

I am just begging to develop add-ons, using the webextentions API, I followed the tutorial for the borderify extension, but when I try to load it, it doesn't load. I also don't have the option to reload extensions from the 'about:debugging' page. I am using firefox 47.0.1. Thanks in advance. (sorry if you have no idea what any of this means).

I have been using the original Firefox sync for many years. A few months ago an upgrade caused my Firefox to loose all my customisation and revert to the default layout on both my PC and laptop. I was able to restore it as I had a backup copy of my Users/roaming Firefox profile, but it only worked if I deleted the profile in C:\Users\SS\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles first. But every time I try to use sync on either PC or Laptop now, the same thing happens - it reverts to the default look and settings. I have been waiting and watching if anyone else reports the same problem and there is a fix, but I haven't seen anything. I'd like to get my sync working again the way it should. Hope you can assist.

Sorry, I know someone else asked the question, but needed to ask a new question to be able to register for the forum and be able to reply to questions. And thought that adding the screenshot may help in this issue.

Firefox (pushed through SCCM) crashes in many computers. Please find below crash report.

A few weeks ago Firefox updated to 48.0.2 but I went back to 47.0.1 via an image back up as it was not compatible with some add ons. As one of the add ons no longer works I tried to update Firefox today but says this i.e. 47.0.1 is the latest version, Can anyone please help? I've turned auto updates back on & did a fresh download after uninstall but no joy.

Several days ago the newest release was installed for firefox 47.0.1. Since then I can't open links from outlook 2010. I've reset default programs and reset it so no program is selected and it will open in all other browsers I have IE & Edge. I am running win 10. Not sure what else to tell you as this seems straight forward as it worked before. I'm thinking of installing the previous release as it worked fine then and I like using firefox but this is driving me nuts. I figured someone else would have reported this but I didn't find any.

The 5 most recent crash reports beginning with bp. Could not follow your instructions in the blog site where other people had this same problem. Also, my video does not work in Firefox now that I have Windows 10, but does work with Chrome

I have stupidly "plugged in" Merriam Webster Dictionary into the Google screen in Firefox, because I was setting up Google via my mobile (Galaxy A5 using Android) & was distracted by a pop up advert (the old old story ...). The Merriam Webster Dictionary search engine now does not allow me to access the Google search page at all.

I cannot find the MWD software in my programs list (accessed via the Windows 7 Start button) so there is no obvious way of uninstalling it.

My apologies in advance. I am aged 69 & my theoretical knowledge of IT is almost zero so please keep your answers simple. Thanks.

I have made two donations to Mozilla when asked. I am now moving to Chrome because the latest edition of Firefox does not recognise the add on extension "Visited". Like 8% of the men worldwide I am colour blind and cannot see which site I have visited except with "Visited". The latest edition of Firefox has removed this option.

What total arrogance !!!

It is also VERY difficult to contact you and make my feelings known. Wasted a lot of time before I got here!!

I did think that Mozilla was just a bit different to the "big boys" and voted with my donation. However the truth is you are just as bad.

How can you totally ignore such a large section of your clients and still not do anything.

What total arrogance !!

Goodbye and I will take my money and flase belief elsewhere

Strongly desired is a 'verification' of programs loaded vs mozilla copy. This to suppliment 'you are on the latest release.' Reasoning is lately when a web page is replaced by 'update firefox' orange screen and a pop-up of 'opening firefox-patch.exe' which wants to save a binary file. But it is not a FF patch. The result could be malware. Months ago I fell for this ploy, or a similar FLASH update and endured problems (ie, svchost.exe running taking 50% of my CPU all the time.)

Might be caused by a rotating 'ad' related, or that FLASH is blocked, or maybe html5 is running. Unknown. I have other notes. PS windows security essentials finds a trojan KIVTER in my temp file soon thereafter. I don't know where it is stored after that.

This has happened several times in the past month. I have avoided using the site. there have been different URLs. Is this legit or a scam? If it is a scam, how do I screen them out? I have Malware & Microsoft Security. Please answer me.
