Firefox Support Forum

I go to different news sites and this stupid tool bar called Meebo started coming up at the bottom of every page I go to. I am not into all these stupid tool bars that do noting more than take up space on your computer and fill it full of spyware. How do I go about dumping this trash.

I have been having problems since installing V-Share. I've read many threads about how to fix this, but the behaviour I am seeing is different - updated I guess.

I can not view any Add-ons, although they are all still working. I want to delete this V-Share toolbar, but don't know how to when I can't view the Add-ons. Obviously V-Share is hiding them somehow.

Additionally, a few of my plugins do not appear when I use about:plugins, although some standard plugins do. Ideas?

I have been bugged by this for years and finally decided to do something about it. According to my Google search, this is a well known problem for many of us, and I cannot figure why Firefox has not done something about it.

Using Firefox 3.6 on my PC, the apostrophe does not render consistently.

If I write text for my web page using the standard key to the right of the semicolon ( the apostrophe, i.e., ‘), I then upload to my website with FTP and view the result: The text at that point usually appears as the square with a question mark, indicating that the code does not exist. This also happens on other source’s pages, but here I think I know the source of the apostrophe.

The Google results suggest work-arounds, but Firefox’s inability to render the apostrophe simply should not happen. Reading the same page as above on Internet Explorer shows the apostrophe correctly. So this is clearly a Firefox problem. Who can fix it?

Quite often I come across sites like this

http://goldscents.blogspot.com/2011/02/energy-no-thanks.html

with some articles in them. I always use the 'print preview" before I print. On this one, what I get is: page 1 of 3: a page with several lines of heading - the rest of the page is blank page 2 of 3: the text starts, and gets chopped at the end of the page page 3 of 3: blank

Even an old piece of junk like IE8 works properly! I have other examples of this behavior - it isn't just the print preview, it actually prints like that too! I can never get the whole text. IE8 shows me 8 pages for this particular article.

Under Tools > Options > Tabs, "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" is selected. Also, in about:config, browser.tabs.warnOnClose is set to "true". I always have multiple tabs open. However, sometimes my hand slips or the mouse falls off the table and Firefox closes without any warning.

Whenever I start Ffx 3.6.13, my firewall alerts me that firefox.exe is trying to connect TCP Out to 127.0.0.1:443(https). Three or 4 seconds later, alerts for jqsnotify.exe TCP out to 127.0.0.1:5152. Others, incl. AAWService.exe (Ad-Aware) (when commanded to open or update). On a Windows startup and on restart, during the login to my Admin user account, Explorer.exe tries to connect 127.0.0.1.

If I type "NBA" into the address bar, I will get results from yahoo. I don't want yahoo results, I want Google results. This just started happening today. How do I get Google search results to show after typing into the address bar?

Every time I go to Wikia or Wikipedia or even signing in to my AIM mailbox OR even type the code in reCaptcha. I always encounter the strange characters issues instead. I tried to follow all the so called solutions provided but none ever work. I had to rely on Chrome to go to these websites because FF can't. I even hard-reset on my profile.

My employer wants to deploy a webapp that only supports TLS 1.0 and above. Is there a timeline for TLS 1.1 or 1.2 support in Firefox?

IE and others already do.

I am trying to watch a missed TV episode. I get a "message" indicating that I have to disable Adblock Plus. Directions given: In right hand corner of Firefox, click on the ABP icon, and uncheck "Enable Adblock Plus". However, there is NO such icon on Firefox' toolbar. I went to your help site; FAQ; checked out forums, etc. You would think "disable Adblock Plus" would be pretty simple, but I guess it's not.

A much-used feature has disappeared. By clicking a link with the center wheel of the mouse, it would open that link in a new tab. Now it doesn't work any more. Please, how can it be restored?

I can not print from the web with Firefox. I can print emails, pdfs, word documents, Excel -BUT the web page comes out blank. When I use Explorer - I have no such problem. I have uninstalled, restarted and re-installed. I have also reinstalled my printer. Help.

This program is suppose to allow videos on my computer - It does not permit live programs. Toolbar always comes up when I open Firefox Browser. I want to remove it!

While downloading a music sharing program called "imesh" a number of different addons were added to my toolbars.I uninstalled the imesh program but all the additional addons stayed. I got rid of most of these but my home page was switched to the "imesh" search page. No matter how many times I have tried to switch back to my preferred home page, as soon as I shut down Firefox and then return to it later, the homepage has been swithched back to the "imesh" search page.

I also use firefox for banking for safety reasons but all my bank home pages also look very distorted. The font has reduced quite drastically. I zoom in a few times to see the fine print but the surrounding font looks much larger. How can this be fixed?

I want to use the QuickTime plugin for Firefox, but version 7.1 is blocked, and version 7.2 doesn't support Windows 2000.

I'm fine with running 7.1; the risk is very small, and I'm willing to accept it. Or does someone have another solution?
