(Removed beta link to 28. -m)

All the current changes for firefox seem oriented towards the tab computer market but unfortunately these tab computers are way to slow and underperform compared dramaticly compared to my desktop computer. Having tabs below is what makes my system functionality and workflow perform at its best. I often have up to 100 tabs open at a time when doing research but with every change by firefox this ability is more and more taken away. from right click send emails and now tabs cant be placed below its time for firefox to decide if its time for two different versions of there product to be made. One for the desktop and a seperate version for tablet computers. Having tabs above the address bar is just plain stupid when you have 100 tabs open ie it just doesnt work. My pc has 64 gigs of ram and a 6 cor processor and with every itereation of firefox for the past 4 years my ability to use the ability of my PC has been more and more removed. I seem to have no choice but to revert to an earlier version of firfox in order to at least keep some of the former functionality. I dont use touch functionality and yet the latest version seems complllletelly oriented towards touch computers and thats great but its been done at the expence of people like me who will never use this type of feature. Time to creat two seperate versions of Firfox one for people like me who have realy powerfull computers and many many many tabs open at a time and one for the tablet pc touch people who only have 1 or 2 tabs open at a time.

On pogo.com When are you going to remove...Firefox browser version 42 is not working well with Java Version J8U65. We recommend using the latest version of Internet Explorer 11

Versions prior to 29 allow me to about:config to put Tabs below the navigation bar. Now this configuration no longer works. It is HUGELY annoying!!

How can I configure the Tabs back where they are most useful, below the navigation bar?

Thank you.

My Firefox won't update automatically anymore. Even if I check on Help --> About Firefox, it runs for a while and then it says it is updated. I have another FF installation on my work laptop, and it correctly picks up updates, this version on pc doesn't.

Please, I have already tried manually updating to the latest firefox a few weeks ago: I am now running version 42 here. Yet, today my work pc got updated to 43.0.2, and this one doesn't.

I would not like to completely remove FF in order not to loose my add-ons, could you please guide me to reinstate normal auto-update feature?

Thanks

I have been trying to get firefox to play 60fps videos on youtube (either flash or HTML5, preferably the latter) but to do this, I need to enable hardware acceleration on firefox (it's the only solution I've found so far) and doing so causes random Blue Screens. I might mention that this only happens in firefox and without hardware acceleration, my youtube videos don't even play at above 20fps. I've been looking for a solution to this issue for days now and haven't found anything, don't understand what's happening.

Firefox keeps saying it cannot continue to create a firefox account because cookies are disabled. I check my cookies setting and cookies setting is standard. Firefox will not create an account because it keeps saying cookies are disable when they are not disabled. I have had to do this using Chrome.

When I check my History sidebar a load of sites are not shown under Today (Date and Site), and only Today is shown, there is no 7 day option and I would want more than 7 days shown anyway. By Most Visited show a lot more sites.

I also noticed that when I download something and instal the file or whatever, that file then disappears when I Show all Downloads. But if I go to Windows(C)\Users\Mike\Downloads there are a whole load of downloaded files.

What is happening here? Thanks.

I have four Wordpress blogs that I visit. Wordpress has a black bar at the top of the screen that you can click on and it'll bring you back to the top of the page. I am running FF 38.0.5, and on one of these blogs this feature stopped working. I ran in safe mode and the feature worked correctly. When I unistalled each add on one by one to figure out which one it might be, the problem still persists. How can this be??

Lately my Firefox 26.0 has been crashing or freezing for about 5 to 20 seconds, I only see this freeze in Google searches, i have reset Firefox, ran my avast(av), i have windows 8.1, fast dsl and i have done the following also:

1. Restart your computer 2. Clear your cookies and cache 3. Restart Firefox in Safe Mode 4. Troubleshoot your plugins 5. Reinstall Firefox 6. Reset Firefox 7. Check for conflicts with your Internet security software 8. Scan your system for viruses and spyware 9. Check your hard drive and RAM for errors

Does anyone know why it does this, it just stated doing it abut two months ago, i have a bran new laptop and i don't run any other applications! I just surf the net thats it! Everything is up to day, clean, i clear cookies, etc with ccleaner, I have tested my internet speed, it is well over the super fast speed, no problems there! Like i said i only see this crash in Google! Now im not using Firefox Google, my home page is Google in Firefox, please help! :-(

Toady Firefox Updated to v36 & toady Tabs on Options started to behave strangely, one time its General Tab that is Blank then i switch between Tabs & close option & reopen & next time its Privacy, all Tabs Randomly, WTH is going on? is it a temporary thing?

firefox shows me the website im trying to go to but part of it is blocked and i got to click the icon next to the web address to unblock it how do i turn it off so i never have to click the icon next to the web address?

Just since yesterday, Firefox crashes whenever I'm on Facebook. As far as I know, I haven't changed anything on my computer (but acknowledge I'm tech-challenged:) and this does not happen on any other site.

I have just installed Quantum, and would like to move the tabs back beneath the bookmarks toolbar, as I think this is a much more logical location for them. Is it possible to do this, and if so, how? I'm using Windows 8.1/ 64 bit, if that matters.

My Tabs toolbar used to be under my Links toolbar. It is now above the Address toolbar.

How do I put my Tabs toolbar back where I want it (not where Firefox arbitrarily decided to put it)?

Alternately, How do I go back to FireFox 70.0.1?

System: Windows 8.1, 64-bit

              FireFox 71, 64-bit 

Note: My laptop (Windows 8.1, 64-bit) has Firefox 70.0.1 (but wants me to "update" (sic)). It has the tool bars in my preferred order. I'm not about to "update" until I know how to fix FireFox 71.

How to move address bar (navigation bar) to title bar in Firefox 29?

What I'm trying to achieve is to have only one bar visible in Firefox. New Firefox interface is a waste of vertical screen space for me in its default configuration. Up to Firefox 28 I could drag and drop everything to title bar with additional adjustments in userChrome.css.

I tried to use https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ but it didn't work for me. I don't want older theme anyway, I just want the same amount of customization available.

I think this is really a feature request, but I didn't see a forum for that. I used to use firefox almost exclusively, but switched to chrome when I started freelancing for a couple of different companies -- the identities feature of chrome really helps me keep my sanity by having a unique identity for each company. However, an issue has recently developed with chrome that made me switch back to firefox. The profiles feature in firefox seems to have gotten a lot better since I made the first switch, and I'm pretty happy with how it works ... with one exception:

With firefox, clicking on a link in a different application always opens in the default profile. With Chrome, it would always open in the browser window that was most recently active. This is a very intuitive behavior, as whatever I am doing in the other application (e.g. thunderbird, evernote, skype) is almost always related to whichever browser window I had opened last.

Any chance of this getting implemented? Or maybe there's already a way to do this? I found the following related topics, but neither helped with this question:

I keep resetting Firefox (latest version) to open at a blank page, but it continues to open at the default Home Page. That home page has an unwanted Firefox logo in the middle, with a search bar underneath. I don't want to see any of that when I open Firefox, but can't seem to get rid of it. There is nothing in Extensions or Plug-Ins that could cause this.
