PLEASE HELP STEVEN

This sometimes happens for example while filling in a form on a web page. I intend to copy/paste text into an input box of the form but I accidentally paste it outside of the box. This causes Firefox to perform an undesired search based on my text.

Can this be turned off?

I have Firefox at work and in the "Tools" tab I can select "view in IE" or right click at any website and I get the option to "Switch Rendering Engine".

Did this feature go away?

 Thank you, Mike

I have Firebug 1.10.6 installed on top of Firefox 16.0.2. After installation of Firebug I see the bug icon in the upper right corner of my window, next to the home icon. After restarting Firefox, the icon is gone. I don't know how to start Firebug other than by clicking the icon. Please explain to me: how to get the Firebug icon after restarting Firefox, or, alternatively, how to start Firebug without icon.

To go to some other site I have to use mouse to set focus to navigation pannel, that's rather uncomfortable :( I wonder why where is no something like "Ctrl+???" shortcut to press it quickly, type and go to new webpage?

My system HD (C:/) has only about 50 Mb free space. When i'm watching some video on YouTube in 1080p, it says that has no free space and video doesn't play. (It plays for some second and stops) Windows 7 Ultimate. Firefox 16.0.2 Thanks!

I recently upgraded from 16.0.2 to 17.0. The fonts used by firefox in the toolbar and the names on the tabs have changed to a dirty, bold look. I do not like it. In 16.0.2 I am using the default theme. In 17.0 I am also using the default theme of 17.0. I am running Windows 7. Since my home and work machines have similar configurations, the work version (still 16.0.2) has the nicer looking fonts. If this antiquated system allowed one to attach screen shots, I could visually show the difference brought about by the upgrade to 17.0

How do I get back the application fonts that were used in 16.0.2?

I want to hide the "Transferring data..." status that shows on the lower left of the browser screen because it is as hazardous as a flickering icon, from a usability standpoint.

I downloaded the new version of Firefox and it will not work with my yahoo toolbar anymore.It worked fine until I updated to the new version. I have went back to the old version 16.0 and now it keeps saying my version is out of date. How can I fix this problem and get the new version to work with my yahoo tool bar?

The identity safe toolbar was working with the prior release. When visiting a web page with a saved login, the login information is not filled in. I tried disabling and reenabling (with restarts) and this did not resolve the issue.

When I go to the Java test page (http://java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp), it says the Plugin is disabled. The Manage Add-Ons page said it was Disabled after a reboot, but is enabled now. Chrome and IE both agree that I have Java 7 Update 9 installed, and the testjava page works just fine.

A couple of sites I use frequently have embedded Java apps, so I need to get this resolved.

Near the top of my screen, every time I go to a chat board a bar comes up that says firefox and then allow and then a check mark. HOW do I get rid of that. Thank you

The latest of version of Firefox 17.0 just downloaded is preventing Norton Identity safe from filling in my user names and passwords. Identity Safe still appears in the menu bar and is still enabled as an add-on but it doesn't fill in user names and passwords. How can I re-install the previous version of Firefox which worked fine?

When trying to use Microsoft WMI tools with Firefox, Firefox seems to be blocking the ActiveX controls used. How can I enable these ActiveX controls in Firefox so the the WMI tools work OK? They work in IE9 OK. This is for Windows 7 64 bit with Firefox 16.0.2

The spell-checking dictionaries on my computer now include: French (reform); French (classic); French (classic/reform); and French (modern). I have no clue how they got there, but spell-checking tries to default to French (reform). I don't see a way to delete them. Can anyone help?

Thanks, Ed LeRoy

In Firefox 17, none of the Personas I apply show any kind of image, whether header or footer. They still change the color of my tabs, and the text of the names of my tabs, so the personas are successfully being applied in some fashion. Searching for an answer was unclear. As per some suggestions, I re-enabled the Default theme, restarted Firefox, then changed Personas, yet the problem persisted.

Thank you for your time.
