Firefox Support Forum

My kids were messing with my computer and must have pushed something and everything disappeared. I need to know how to put an address bar (back button, refresh, ect) back up into the top of my window. Part of the problem is that my computer screen is cracked and I can't see anything in my menu easily. A command that would restore the address bar would help. Thanks.

Dont laugh, but yes I have firefox 3.6.28 with windows xp and sp 2. and just recently this stupid plugin check keeps popping up every time i open my firefox. My version 3.6 was fine until today. and nothing on my end has changed with my knowledge.

Yes i know most would tell me to update my firefox to correct it, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO UPDATE. if i wanted a newer version i would download it.

Personally I hate the new versions of firefox, and have no use for them. and do not want to update to something I DON'T WANT. I choose to keep my old firefox, I do not want to update it every time mozilla feels like changing or adding some stupid feature i do not use, need or want. leave versions alone for petes sake mozilla

With that said how can i permanently stop that stupid checker ?

I am running MAC 10.4.11 OSX therefore the system itself does not have the capabilities to upgrade to the new Firefox, and /or hotmail. Nothing comes out correctly and I am not that it can make my system unstable. What can I do to help fix this situation? Please do not tell me to buy a new system unless you are offering one. Thank you everyone, as I have tried everything I can think of and nothing works. Stay safe with "Sandy".

I'm stuck with OS 10.4 and can't update Firefox or plug-ins any further. Keep getting -- over and over! -- warnings from Firefox. How can I turn those off permanently?

I have Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 and I was wondering if it support the newest version of Firefox and if it runs alright on there. I haven't been updating it since 3.6.28 because I really didn't like the look and my mom was having all sorts of issues with hers and Adobe. I have recently lost my Norton Toolbar that was on the top when the latest update for 3.6 came out. I'm planning on upgrading soon and wondered if it would work well on it. My moms comp her adobe keeps crashing on there and her browser sometimes doesn't want to reopen after being shut down.

My outdated Flash plugin triggers this annoying warning. I cannot update to the latest Flash plugin because my MAC is not an Intel version.

I want the "Some plugins on the is page are out of date...." warning to stop.

Without disabling my Flash.

My 3ware RAID card is administered by using https://localhost:888/.

This worked fine on 3.6.28.

After upgrading to 12.0, when I attempt to visit that page, I just get

The connection was reset The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

with no options to continue to the page.

In the Error Console, I can see this message: localhost : server does not support RFC 5746, see CVE-2009-3555

I'm on Win7-64.

My laptop has limited RAM - about 2GB. Of the browsers I've tried (Chrome, Safari, Firefox), Firefox uses the least RAM, but it still uses around 1GB of RAM to display about 10 tabs (gmail, facebook, reader, and assorted other websites) - this seems insanely high.

Thinking back, this didn't seem to be a problem "back in the day", so to speak, so I tried installing Firefox 3.6 again.

Lo and behold, with the same addons and the same tabs open, Firefox 3.6 is using 300MB of RAM where Firefox 21 used 980MB of RAM. In addition, navigation is noticeably snappier in Firefox 3.6 - probably because it doesn't have to page to disk as often (which would often lock up my computer using Firefox 21).

I thought that newer versions were supposed to improve memory performance, not triple the required memory...

Basically fire fox will open to the homepage and that's it. If I type in the search bar or link/navigation bar and hit enter, nothing will happen. Clicking on a bookmark or a link from the history will not do anything. FIrefox simply will not respond. Using another browser gets working results, so my internet isn't the problem.

I went back to firefox 3 to get things working again. I Tried to re-install firefox 18 again and everything installs correctly but NOTHING works.

So any help would be appreciated.

Following a recent Flash upgrade, I cannot hear sound on YouTube videos. I can still hear sound on the FF video test page, here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/navigational-sounds

So I went to this help page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/No%20sound%20in%20Firefox?s=sound+youtube&r=0&e=es&as=s

On that page, it references a Windows function called "Volume Mixer". The screenshot shows three applications in the Volume Mixer function, these are called "System Sounds", "Mozilla Firefox" and "Plugin Container for Firefox".

I only have the one called "System Sounds". The other two are missing. Why is this so, and how do I reinstate them? On the Microsoft forum, they tell me that applications are added here automatically.

Another forum suggested the plugin was blocked by my firewall. This is not so. And yet another forum suggested that I disable crash protection using an about:config setting: there is no way I am going to do that.

webpage complete is a bunch of different files and all files does not include photos. I am trying to save my site rangeoflight.net

Thank You.

I have been trying Xmarks for a short while and am upgrading to FF12. Can FF12 sync directly (automatically) with IE.

I use IE rarely, usually when some program forces a call to it. I'm more concerned with moving the IE favorites I might create than FF bookmarks to IE.

I dislike the idea of have to go though the export/import process over and over.

After I put my password on windows live log in page I get a page saying

Server Error in '/' Application. Runtime Error Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<configuration>

  <system.web>
      <customErrors mode="Off"/>
  </system.web>

</configuration>

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

<configuration>

  <system.web>
      <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
  </system.web>

</configuration>

I've tried different things like clear the cache and cookies, check for any general.useragent.override pref. that might be causing the issue but no luck on anything. Is it my settings or is it a problem from Microsoft. Other people that I asked could actually log into their accounts which leads me to think its something on my computer or account. I can't access my account neither from friends computer that could access theirs nor from my kindle or my blackberry.

Here's the problem with latest Firefoxes (15-17) as well as Palemoon:

Create three folders on your desktop - name them A, B and C. Now open up Firefox. Go to webpages that have multiple images to download. Click open the images from the various webpages while holding down the Ctrl key.. You will now have multiple tabs of the various images. Now open each tab with an image, right click the image, save as a random name and make the download designation folder A. Do this for all tab images.

Now go back to the first tab image, right click the image, save as a random name and make the download designation folder B. Continue doing this for remaining tab images. As soon as you attempt to download an image from a different webpage, Firefox will change the download designation to folder A.

Typically when you set a download designation in a browser, the designation does not change unless you manually change it. Firefox will keep changing the download folder for each new webpage with images.

Now do the same as the last paragraph but save the images to folder C. As soon as you get to an image from different webpage, Firefox will (I do not see why it is doing it) change the download folder to either A or B, but not C.

Hi! I've readed many topics about this, but nothing helped. Last solution I've found on this site is about the "No Proxy" setting, but that didn't help too. I have no problems at all with FF 3.6, and I'm still using it most of the times, but I can't keep doing this for much longer, and some sites already won't work with it. I didn't like FF 4\5 so I've never used them "online", but since I've started trying out newer version, I've always had this problem (FF 12+, up to 21.0). 3.6 never had such problem, I can open 20 bookmarks from the same site at once and it does it flawlessly. I use Windows XP and Sandboxie, and I install FF directly into the sandbox. Tried disabling or not installing any plugin at all, nothing changes. Tried installing it over the working 3.6, tried with clean installs and with the reset function. Sometimes it loads pages without any prolem, but most of the times it takes ages and it's stuck at the blank page with the spinning weel for 30+ seconds. Sometimes, if i open two new tabs from te same site within a second, one of them loads, the other doesn't. Sorry for the long post and for my bad English. Thank you! :)

I'm so exasperated!! When I click on bookmarks all my bookmarks already show. There is no option anywhere to "show all bookmarks" which the help section tells me will lead me to some library so I can export to an html document. Why don't they just have an export button!!!!@!!!???

Now the firefox alert me that is it the old version. However I cannot find the correct update suitable for my Mac. This version is just so slow. Where can I download all the safe stuff for my mac?

I just got a pop up saying Java is being blocked.

It says something about Firefox has found out that Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U31 6.0.310.5 is causing stability or security problems.

It's just popped up randomly while I was watching YouTube videos.
