Firefox Support Forum

Each time I open a new tab to do a new search it defaults to AVG. I want Google to be my default search tab. I have tried 'about:config' and disabled AVG Safe Search, also 'Tools/Add Ons' etc.

Grrr ....

i found myself replacing my computer for various reasons and need to get all my data of my old computer to the new one. however, when it came to Firefox and my tab groups, book marks and history i found no real way to export them to the other computer. is there some way to save all that information and then move it onto the new computer? it is tiresome to have to lose all my save information as well as all the tabs i have because i need them and it is time consuming to be copy and pasting all my address into a text and saving it that way.

I accidently deleted the MY FAVORITES button on my bookmark toolbar. How do I get MY FAVORITES back on the bookmark toolbar? I have a favorites tab at the top, but I liked it on the bookmark toolbar because I could put it all the way to the LEFT just like IE. Please help.

'Save Image As' keeps changing the location it's saving the file. As I'm going through various pages and saving certain images, I notice that sometimes it saves where I'm expecting it to, (the location I most recently selected while saving an image), but very often, in the same session (meaning I haven't closed and restarted FF), it decides to change the location to a directory I've used earlier, instead of where it just saved the previous file.

I thought it might be a scenario something like, I open tabs 1 - 5, save images to location A. Then I save a file to location B, open up pages 6 - 10, save a file to location A again. At this point I expect that my files will default to location A, but maybe pages 6 - 10 now have location B associated with them and they will default there instead. I just tested that and that's not it.

It's also not extension (ie .jpg, .gif) that forces the change of location. I can't figure out what triggers it.

Does anyone know if there is another about:config setting that we can change, (which the next FF upgrade in 5 minutes will undoubtedly override) to restore proper behavior?

This behavior started with the upgrade to FF 7.

When I check to see if my plugins are updated, this one is listed as an unknown plugin. Researching doesn't really seem to tell me exactly what this plugin is, why I have it or how to update it.

During normal usage Firefox will suddenly stop loading all pages in all tabs/windows. Every currently loading page remains blank, with the usual 'Connecting to ____' message. Any new tabs or windows opened, or any new page requests, get stuck in the same loop. The program itself does not hang and, other than failing to load pages, performs normally. No change in behaviour with all add-ons disabled. Seems to happen with any website, but seems to happen more often on pages with any elements that take excessively long to load. Only current solution is to close program and restart.

This is not a router/connectivity issue, IE and other programs can connect fine while the issue is occurring. Full system virus scan came up empty (Sophos/Ad-Aware/WinDefender). I believe I first starting having the problem with FF6, feels like it has become more frequent with FF7.

I need version 10 for PC. Where can I find it? There is no ver. 12 plugin available for my protection software, so I can't safely use version 12 yet. Is there a URL for where to download ver 10, like there is for version 3.6?

In order to watch dish online it asks to download the dish video optimizer...when we try to download it Firefox says widevine media transformer plugin could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 7.0.1. We would like to be able to watch videos from dish occasionally. Thank you

I want to start Firefox from Windows(7), passing it a local html file name as a parameter to use that html page for the startup page. There is no Help or documentation on startup parameters (a major oversight or program shortfall)

I am trying to save a mp3 file but firefox does not allow me to save it...it allows me to play the file but not download and asave it to my computer. How do I enable Firefox to save mp3 files on my computer?

Right now when I am using FireFox the FONT and overall text on the web pages are very small. This includes the option menus in top left of browser,the web address bar, and even this here request. Every website I view also shows up with very small font and is hard to see. I would like to make the font larger and cannot figure out how. Please help, Thank you for your time!

I have been using Firefox for several months, and in just the last 2 days I have started to get a Warning that states: A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete. Script: http://c.betrad.com/geo/ba.js:18

It is really slowing me down, and I will have to go back to Internet Explorer if I cannot get this resolved.

Ao optar pelo navegador firefox 7.0.1,surgiu o seguinte probema:Para acessar a página do Banco Itaú,é necessario instalar uma extensão de segurança, fornecida pelo banco ,com o nome de"GUARDIÃO".Porem,o firefox,não permite a instalação deste serviço de segurança.Este problema só acontece com o navegador firefox.Gostari de saber se tem alguma adaptação para que o mesmo permita esta instalação.

I am unable to get rid of the Bing search window. To be absolutely clear on what I am trying to get rid of : to the right of my open tabs there is a Bing search box. This is the one I am trying to get rid of. There is no mention of Bing or toolbar in the add-ons section of Firefox nor is there an entry for this in remove programs, I am using Firefox 7.o1 and Vista Home 64bit. Is this the new thing they have added in partnership with Microsoft or is there a way I can't find to get rid of this?

Certain pictures on twitter are not being displayed on firefox but work fine in internet explorer

Apple's Mobile Me (sync, find my iPhone, etc.) is switching to iCloud.com. Mobile Me worked fine with Firefox, but when we try to sign in to iCloud.com we get the message "Connection Error - iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". Cookies are enabled. We had no problem at all connecting, signing-in, etc. with, excuse me, Internet Explorer, but we obviously vastly prefer to use Firefox.

Hello, I had some Gmail accounts that with the help of Firefox remembered the passwords for them. But then some day it didn't show the accounts nor saved passwords when I tried to login there.

Now I can't remember the passwords and I'm panicking.
