I have checked the option to warn me when a page attempts to redirect or reload, but some redirects are still happening without warning or approval. The redirects are solicitous in nature and hijack me away from a page that I was viewing without me clicking on anything. When it happens, reloading the original page sometimes results in another redirect but sometimes it doesn't. It seems pretty much random. I can only guess that the redirect is somehow imbedded in a banner or something - though I really no very little about how web pages work, so who knows. A few days ago I tried to reste the option by unchecing it and restarting firefox, and tehn rechecking and restarting firefox again. But today I got redirected. It's really a minor annoyance and it doesn't happen often, but I thought throw it out there. Thanx!

I need to be able to add some cabinet files to firefox for a specialized spellchecker. The exe file was set up for IE; it tries to work in Firefox saying it is installing, but it does not install. For IE installation I am given an alternative to unpack the CAB and install via INF, but I do not know how to do this in FireFox. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

When I boot up mozilla, unwanted programs such as game sites, registry cleaning programs, etc. load up also. This has only happened since the last mozilla up date.

I would like to make the bookmark toolbar a default option so that when I press the star icon once the bookmarked page would go directly to the toolbar instead of the unsorted folder but I can't find out how to do it.

I set up a custom background when we updated Firefox. The colors are really disruptive with my windows. How do I change it back to normal?

When Firefox loads certain pages like Yahoo, Facebook and Youtube, Firefox closes and I get a message of "Firefox has stopped running." or something like that.

I got into Personas!! after taking the time to learn about Firefox. Once there i was able to view my browser like it would be if i chose a persona just by dragging the cursor over it. Then i installed a few more really cool add-ons, followed a step by step instruction on how to increase the speed of my browser using the about:config thing, also modifying in there I THINK the browsers settings for the view of multiple tabs, that way they get smaller and smaller. only a few aesthetic and personall base changes to about:config, nothing too big. but yea, when i drag my cusor over the picture of the persona, it doesn't let me pre-view it on my browser before i have to wear it, then allow it.

i was closing all of my toolbars and accidentally closed the navigation bar as well, when i did that i lost all of the menu options to, like "view" and the rest of them, how do i get those options back?

the browser window and for some reason has very short height however normal width. I tried to click on maximize but that doesn't work, the window goes back to the shortened height, I also tried using the mouse put the cursor at the bottom edge of the window until the cursor changes to double arrow, I then expanded the window vertically, released the mouse and the window goes back to the smaller version. how can I fix this?
