Firefox Support Forum

I've seen this answer, but it doesn't fully fix the problem: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/951487

When I look at the address bar, I want to see the actual URI of the page I'm on, not some mangled version of it. In other words, I want to see the address in the form that is valid in an <a/> tag in XHTML.

Setting browser.urlbar.trimURLs to false fixes HALF of the problem, but not all of it. If I type in "http://example.com/filename%20with%20spaces.ext", I should see "http://example.com/filename%20with%20spaces.ext". However, I instead see "http://example.com/filename with spaces.ext". The "%20"s are converted into spaces, which are not valid in a real URI. How do I fix the address bar to show the real address of the page?

EDIT: It seems to me that if someone sets the trim setting to false, the URI should not be trimmed in ANY way. This includes the shortening of %20 to a space character. Is this a bug?

On an imac running 10.7.5 with fire fox 21.0. Running adobe reader 11.0.03. Tried preferences, applications, went to pdf and selected Use PDF Browser Plugin 2.4.4. Nothing happens. Anyone able to provide a solution?

I use Gmail and occasionally receive emails which contain embedded images rather than attachments. These images do not appear when I use Gmail from Firefox, but they do appear when I use Gmail from Chrome or IE. If I forward the mail then the images appear in the forward mail window. Have tried all of the recommended actions but with no success.

This is what I am looking at in the about:config

When I open Firefox it reverts to the above linked search engine.

That link is to the search engine that has infected my firefox. I have tried several methods to get rid of it. I have gone into extensions and deleted anything that looked like it. I have gone into 'uninstall programs' and un-installed anything that was to do with it. I have ran my Norton 360 scan which has detected nothing. I downloaded Malware Bytes free anti-malware software scanner which detected nothing. I have reset the home page to default but this does nothing. I have tried re setting firefox, no result. Please can you help me remove this search engine off firefox, nothing seems to work and it is very irritating. Thanks

I'm trying to run an application that displays competitors' routes at an orienteering event. My problem is that Firefox blocks the Java applet. I get a window saying "Application Blocked by Security Settings. Your security settings have blocked an application from running with an insecure or expired jre."

I've tried looking at the Firefox help on "How to enable Java if it's been blocked", but that's no help. It talks about clicking on the red plug-in icon in the address bar, but there isn't a red plug-in icon in the address bar.

The application is from www.epoc.routegadget.co.uk. It worked when I used it last Sunday.

Help, please!

The only icon visible on the toolbar relating to the facebook messenger is the facebook logo icon, which allows to login/logout and show/hide the sidebar, the other 3 icons should be visible also but are not?

Any help appriciated, thank you.

It keeps doing this every time I use FF and it's going to make me stop completely if someone doesn't fix it.

I have been in the middle of doing work and it will do this, and I lose my work.

Google chrome is working better. And the only thing wrong is this Adobe Shockwave.

_{Edited title to add "Flash" since, based on the linked image, this question is about the Shockwave Flash plugin. aw}

I use the McAfee Security package with their Secure search engine. This was my primary search engine until a recent Mozilla Firefox update. Now this search engine has disappeared entirely from my computer - it is not even showing as an included search engine. I have re-installed McAfee Site Advisor and McAfee Secure Search Engine but its search engine box is now showing as an extra search engine box on the bottom right of my screen. How do I reverse the deletion of my McAfee secure search engine to 'included search engines' on my computer and make it once again my primary search engine? McAfee technicians have attempted to reverse it but failed and say it is a Mozilla Firefox problem. I tried to add the McAfee secure search engine as an add-on but it doesn't exist in the Firefox security search add-ons.

I just had to have my laptop fixed, and the shop had to format it. So, I had to download all the programs I had, which included Firefox and Norton Internet Security. Once I updated Firefox to version 21.0, the Norton Toolbar no longer appeared in the Firefox screen. Why? Can something be done so that the Norton Toolbar appears in the Firefox screen again? I sure *hope* so, as I depend on their Identity Safe program. I have a Dell Inspiron laptop with Windows 7 - 64 bit. If you need any more information, please ask.

moderator locked this old thread about Firefox 21 and a Norton Toolbar - Firefox 21 is no longer supported and users should be using the latest Firefox 24.0 version

been struggling some time : I want to open a pdf file from *my computer* in firefox : drag and drop produces an address like "file:///C:/path/to/file.pdf" but for clicking enter just pops up the Save dialog and choosing open with firefox just pops the same dialog over and over again

Windows 7 x64, latest FF

Problem when upgrading my Firefox browser has become a crashing all the time and before I upgrade my browser were not there is any problem, such as crash and other! However I think it is because of a program called Clean Space 2013.05, is probably the cause of the problem of crash my browser so I have noticed this problem occurs frequently after using this Clean Space 2013.05 program! And there is also another problem when browsing using Firefox have noticed that we get the crash & Warning Unresponsive script all the time? Causing freeze & hang of Firefox browser & system

try this software http://clean-space.com/privacy/info/english/index.html

I do not like the search engine Bing - it posts nasty images automatically when I pull up my Mozilla Firefox. How can I remove it completely from showing up with Mozilla and if possible how do I make Google automatically be the search engine that accompanies Mozilla?

After Upgrading to FireFox 21 my browser no longer can detect that I have the Citrix ICA Client installed and prompts me every time I attempt to launch an .ica file from the internet. Upon multiple installs of the ICA Client from the prompts including Uninstalling it completely then reinstalling it I ignored the prompt and tried to launch the .ica file. It will launch only 1 .ica window no matter how many .ica files I click on. (Firefox 20 would allow me to launch several citrix sessions at a time.) Also when the 1 citrix session is open if I minimize it or bring another program to the foreground the .ica window becomes black and is no longer usable since you can no longer see anything in that window. Is this a known issue?? Currently I have had to unistall version 21 and found a version 20.0.1 that Ive installed disabling the automatic updates.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the current (as of 6/22/13) flash plugin for Firefox. I also have turned off hardware acceleration but my flash player keeps crashing on every youtube video I try.

Also Firefox just stopped responding when I allowed the troubleshooter, but it did give information after restoring my previous session.

I think it is something to do with Adobe undates that are done automaticly. I want bing gone forever, and each time I somehow get it off, it finds it's way back... Isn't that illegal?? Are there any class action lawsuits I can join against bing??

Ok, this problem has been going on with a number of FF users since FF 8.0 (and possibly earlier). I have yet to see a suggested response that actually cures the problem, and the fact that the issue still persists in the current release tells me that it has not been addressed by the developer.

I'm running Windows 7 and consistently, after waking up from sleep, FF is completely unresponsive. The only solution I have found that works is to terminate the program completely and restart it.

Others have suggested Resetting FF, rebooting the system in Safe Mode etc - NONE of these suggestions cure the problem. I have tried disabling plugins and various other methods to know avail.

After much testing, it is my belief that the issue has to do with the way FF handles running javascript and that FF is unable to recover from sleep mode and start these javascripts again - just a theory.

This is a very common issue, and I can replicate it across other PCs as well as those running under XP SP3.

I'm interested in hearing actual solutions to this issue from people who have experienced it and resolved it, not best guess stabs in the dark about things to try (and please, if all you have to add is "I'm having this problem too", it's really better not to respond - I already know that a lot of people are dealing with this problem, so simply adding your name to the list isn't going to help).

Thanks,
