Firefox Forum di supporto

Hello All,

I have searched and searched but have not found an answer that matches my specifics. Any help would be appreciated.

I used to be able to do this but now I can no longer search and browse images on google or bing image search and have Web of Trust function. Here is how I am going about it. What I use: DuckDuckGo's annoymous google or bing image search link when I enter querries. Also, searching directly from Google's or Bing's image search page doesn't work with WOT anymore either. Firefox 23.0.1 The following add-on's: Add-block plus 2.3.2 BetterPrivacy 1.68 Flagfox 4.2.12 Ghostery 5.0.4 Google/Yandex search link fix 1.4.1 No Script 2.6.7.1 Web of Trust 20130515

If anyone has a fix for this please let me know.

"From the Show dropdown menu, you can choose what to display in the toolbars: icons, text, or icons and text together. By default, Firefox shows icons only." Is there a way to choose an individual setting for a specific toolbar icon to be icon only (no text) without universally affecting all other icons on the toolbars?

Second, is there a way to edit the text on a specific toolbar button from an extension (because it occupies too much horizontal space on the toolbar due to the amount of text)? I do know how to locate the xpi file & open it with notepad, but then it's mainly code (not English) & FIND doesn't locate the button's text (to edit it).

These 2 questions should apply to Extension buttons in general. However IF it makes any difference I'm referring to the Toolbar Button in Back To Top 7.0 which says "Go to top/bottom". I'd at least like to edit out "Go to", but my questions apply to other Extension buttons too. I do realize it may be necessary to redo any fix/change each time there is an update? THANK YOU.

Yeah, why? I just want to log in to my account so I can pair a device and re-sync, but it won't allow me to log in without a Recovery key - it's stupid. Can you maybe delete my current Sync account so I could re-register it?

I've upgraded to windows 8 and now FF 23. is this a beta version? I can't find any complete theme to use. Noia 4 still comes up red. Which theme wont turn my toolbar red? the one that worked won't work for FF 23.

My default search from the address bar has been hijacked by Wikipedia somehow. Yes, I know. Of all things, this hijacking directs my searches to Wikipedia. Only sometimes, though, not all searches are sent there, and I don't know why. I would expect ask.com maybe, but wikipedia. No lies.

I've tried starting in safemode, and I've run malwarebytes several times. I've gotten rid of all of my addons, and nothings changed. Uninstall and reinstall firefox, delete the appdata files, nothing works. I'm even trying a portable version of firefox, and after a short while, I got hijacked again. I'm at a loss.

Is there any known malware that would redirect searches to wikipedia? What steps should I follow to fix this? Does anybody have any idea what could cause this?

I am so annoyed and cannot find solution on your site. Starting about a month ago, when I open Firefox, instead of my Home Page, a page named "Sponsorship" pops up & “urgently” states: (Copy of Screen) "Flash Video Downloader is required to download online video

   100% FREE update
   Watch HD Movies online
   Supports FLV/Flash
   Beautiful HD video, faster graphics rendering, and high performance

Download will only takes a couple of minutes" Then asks me to install.

I ignored it multiple times; tried to contact the "producer" asking to desist, but no reply. Norton says the file is VERY New, but (apparently) safe. I checked FireFox Extensions page and a “Featured” Extension, which appears to be this “Flash Video Downloader” is listed, but when I check it out, the Developer seems to be someone different. I finally downloaded the file, but have not yet installed it. And I get a different name and company: InstallPath -Amonetize Ltd. in Israel! Is this legit or a “worm”. If latter, how do I GET RID OF IT? This is the address in the bar when it opens: http://staple.officebusinessupplies.com/t/?ilmernzkvtazn=5A3E8ED3B439D307&pu=&s=D-firefox&nm=ilmernzkvtazn&t= (I just "experimented" and re-opened this link, only to find a different page stating I must update my media player!) There is no consistency, so I am suspicious but I AM SO TIRED OF BEING BOTHERED! Must I uninstall and reinstall Firefox to get rid of it? sure hope not. Thank you in advance for any help in keeping me from going insane!

Ever since I installed Firefox 23.0.1, I have had many problems. Firefox is very slow to open and crashes several times a day, especially if I'm on Facebook. The internet, especially Facebook & Facebook games are very slow. When Facebook updates, it is so slow that it hangs up my entire system.

My router and cable modem are working correctly. I recently installed new ethernet cables between the cable modem, router and computer. Brighthouse was here last week and I have a strong internet signal. All of my plug ins are up to date and so is Windows XP. I have cleaned my browser's cache several times. Closing and restarting Firefox helps for a little while.

FF 23.0.1 Windows XP.

I can download fine and they show up in the little window on Firefox, but they are not being saved to the My Documents - Downloads folder, which is where I assigned them to go in Tools-Options-General.

Since I'm on XP, there are no User files so I can't look in Users/XXX/Temp/Appdata or any of those locations.

I can double click on the downloaded file in the little Firefox window and the file opens, so I know they are saved somewhere on my computer, but where????

Are all the add-ons at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ are approved?

FAQ (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/faq) says that unapproved add-ons are clearly marked.

       "...(Are add-ons safe to install?)  Unless clearly marked otherwise, add-ons available from this gallery have been checked and approved by Mozilla's team of editors and are safe to install. ..."

How to distinguish between approved and unapproved add-ons?

Thanks in advance for the help.

i just have updated my firefox beta to version 23. the problem is i cant find the encryption tab to enable SSL so this error keeps coming "Secure Connection Failed!.

ok i have been using firefox ever since it first came out and i love it to death it has always been the best browser i have ever used and only been using it for the past few years and never had a complaint with it UNTIL now , this new security crap you all out in here absolutely sucks ass , i want to remove it , delete it , burn it and see to it that it never enters my computer again , so how the hell do i get rid of it , i cant even play my facebook games now because it keeps blocking everything and wont even let my page load i have been forced to go back to internet explorer "Which i hate with a passion" but at least it will let me play my facebook games . i have tried the disable on this page thing but that dont do squat and it keeps blocking everything , if there is nothing i can do to remove it then i will have to do something i never thought i would ever do and download google crome which for me would be scraping the bottom of the barrel but i hate IE but its the only way i can do my facebook stuff now thanks to this new crap you all put on my browser .

I am the site owner and have been for the last eight years. I hope my company is viewed as responsible and honest. I'd like to stop Firefox giving a warning which I can fix. So how do I supply "ownership information"? that firefox can use?

Since FF upgraded me to Firefox 23 My tool bars are messed Every time I make a new toolbar Via "Customize" > "Add New Toolbar" after I exit it does not save.

Yes I read over 10 different articles on it.

1) I deleted the localstore.rdf and started from scratch. After 15 minutes of dragging all the icons to various toolbars I close out of Customize. I then restart Only to find my toolbar not saves and icon missing (placed back into the Customize Box)

2) Only solution ALWAYS given is going to Safe Mode and resetting everything. That requires me to spend 5 hours backing all the settings and data I have saved in the various 189 items loaded.

Why so many? If not that many I would have to spend 6 hour more all day on my computer doing things that many of these addons do for me. Time is Money.

3) This is not the first time over the 8 years or so of using Firefox this has occured.

4) Question why doen't save when you close out of "Customize" than when you exit? Plus what in Firefox is messed up that it is not saving right?

I can't open Gmail anymore...saying: This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies. Instructions talk about a location bar and about:config page? Like it's just assuming everyone knows what and where those are...

On the Firefox home page search box one of my bookmarks has suddenly appeared there in grey. It can not be deleted in the usual ways (highlight/delete, backspace over, etc.) but if something is typed it disappears. BUT, when Search is activated the search goes to the search on the bookmark item's page!

Reloaded, restart, shut down restart have not worked. How to fix?

Yesterday, Aug. 22, Mozilla suffered a massive & complete breakdown in handling Yahoo. Originally I thought it was a virus. I immediately switched to Google Chrome & worked on it w/o difficulty all day long. Yahoo was pushing all data/articles to the left side of the screen. That fixed today, Aug. 23. HOWEVER, the problem with Yahoo mail persists. Out of the blue, it's impossible to delete any Yahoo emails on Mozilla. If you single click to select a list of emails to be deleted, they open automatically. There's no "delete" at the top of the screen to get rid of it. It's very annoying. Somebody's messing with your system (alone). Google Chrome & Microsoft Explorer worked just fine all day. FIX IT!

How does it take a user like myself (been using ff for 7 or more years) 4 different pages to actually get to one to ask a question? Seriously, IE has better access to the support forums. Now on to my actual problem. I have a lot of bogging/crashing related to flash player 11, as well as even the most current version of flash (and yes I have uninstalled all older versions) reading as an outdated version. Is there no way to get ff to actually work concurrent to flash or am I just fated to run chrome instead? Wouldn't believe a hardware issue since it's just ff (even IE runs better at this point) but Acer Aspire 7741z with W7 (and yes I know it's an outdated system but specs are still up to current),

Yesterday, when I wasn't bothered opening everything from my browser, I opened a tab next to it to do some of my homework, and without thinking, i closed the browser with the last browser as well, which meant that i lost all my information from that, but didn't realize till the next day.

I've had these sorts of problems before but I was able to look at my history, then re-open my recently closed window. This time however when I tried do the same thing the next day the 'recently closed window' was grey, as though it didn't save the things I didn't open before, and the worst part about this is that I have lost probably almost or more than 200 tabs, and this isn't a laughing matter, because all the things which I had before were things which I've been keeping and saving for months, till I was going to use it.

I tried to find a solution by looking back at my earliest history and starting back, but most of the information I had had been kept for over a few months, meaning I'm unable to check it.

So could i kindly ask you to find a solution for me please because this has gotten me very depressed that I can't recover the things I like as losing it made me depressed to the point that I lied on my bed for a few hours without sleeping.

Thank You.
