Ondersteuningsforum voor Firefox

Please advise how to enable hardware acceleration in FireFox 31. All my graphics and other hardware/software is current and updated. I've also paired my Bookmark Toolbar down to under 20 entries.

FireFox is so sluggish that just a few open tabs cause the pausing "wheel of doom" every time I try to enter information or go to another part of the website. Sometimes the pauses are 5-10 seconds, sometimes a minute or more.

I do not have this issue on the other browsers that I use.

Thank you in advance for your help!

WIN XP. Have checked file association settings and pdf files are directed towards using Adobe reader. Completed uninstall of FFox31 and icons changed back to Adobe. Cleaned computer and carried out clean install. Icons remained as pdf for two restarts and then changed back to FFox icons. Everything works normally but the icons remain as FFox. Have set FFox application options to 'always ask' temporarily. I have a second WinXP machine that has upgraded to FFox 31 without this problem. Strange!

Hi there! I'm using MSN 8.1 on a newish HP Pavilion 21. Youtube recently started telling me that it cannot display until I turn off the Safety Mode. It seemed to work fine in the past. Not sure what is going on. Thanks, Lp.

This morning I was able to access our plesk install for our server (I had previously confirmed the security exception after getting the warning) without problem. Then firefox updated to 31 and now it is giving me this error: Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to (**website**). Issuer certificate is invalid. (Error code: sec_error_ca_cert_invalid)

With no option to confirm any security exception. I am still able to access it through Chrome, but we all use firefox here (and would like to keep doing so). I checked on the computers that haven't updated yet and they were able to get in still, I updated one of them and now they are getting the same error, so it is a firefox issue with the new update.

Any help would be appreciated!

Playing a particular mp4 audio file directly from a website link gives error message "Video can't be played because the file is corrupt". However other mp4 audio files from this same website do work correctly. What can I do to get all the the mp4 audio files to play directly from the same website? I must have the correct plugins, etc. since the other files play. This file is not playing from YouTube, is it on the website. Thank you for your help.

When I try to view a page that has a Google map embedded on the page, I get the error message "a plugin is needed to display this content". However, I don't know what plugin, where to get it, etc. I've tried searching for this issue but haven't been able to come up with anyone else experiencing a similar issue, nor does there seem to be a plugin for Google Maps that I can find.

The page is here: http://osiama.org/lodges#

The map displays when one of the links is clicked in the table.

My home connection is dial-up and to download a 40MB "upgrade" solution would take about 2 hours. I use a public computer with a high-speed connection to download install packages of all the software I use. I can save these packages to a flash drive to bring home to run on my computer. The Mozilla "upgade" solution tries to upgrade the public computer. I do not get a transportable install package. Of course this does me no good.

Also, if I have a standalone installation package, I can keep it incase I need to re-install, or if I want to share Firefox with someone else.

Please send me a link to a standalone, transportable installation package that I can download.

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

When I request Firefox to open a webpage on my own website using the http:// protocol Firefox still uses the https:// protocol. This is on my own website so I have control over the redirect/rewrite settings and there is no setting that I know off. Furthermore Internet Explorer just loads the page via http:// when I type the URL in the address bar. Chrome does it fine as well.

I have tried disabling the autoFill and autocomplete for the URLbar, I even cleared my history. I have also check with the developer tools (F12) and the NET console, Firefox never requests the page using http:// but directly using https:// despite my efforts typing the URL with http://.

   "browser.urlbar.autoFill": false,
   "browser.urlbar.trimURLs": false,
   "browser.urlbar.autoFill.typed": false,
   "browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled": false,

I have checked with an external site for the headers and they are just 200 OK for the http url I'm trying to reach.

If need I can write the link so you can test for yourself.

Thanks for your help. Regards

I currently use Google as my search engine, and every time I use it I get a rash of unwanted advertising crap at the head (top) of the search results. I know I can update my "interests" preferences in Google to "target" the ads, but I want to get rid of these pesky nuisances altogether.

Anyone got any suggestions apart from moving to a different search engine?

thanks

I have already googled the problem & have tried all of the suggested fixes. When I click on the "Show your bookmarks" icon in the upper right, I can click on "Bookmarks Toolbar" and I can see the bookmarks in a list, but they are no longer on a bar near the top of my screen and the "View Bookmarks Toolbar" is already checked. Also, I have already opened the menu, hit customize, & then Show/Hide Toolbars, & the "Bookmarks Toolbar" is checked.

What is prohibiting my bookmarks toolbar from showing?

When I open Mozilla Firefox, I automatically go to the google page. This is how it's alwyas been. All of a sudden, firefox opens with a google error message that says: "404. That’s an error. The requested URL /ig was not found on this server. That’s all we know. "

What can I do to correct and get back to normal function? Thanks.

Every time I open Firefox browser a new tab is started for "istartsurf" I would dearly like to be rid of this intrusive and persistent intruder. I have uninstalled it in (Programs and Features" and tried Adware Removal Tool to no avail Thanks in advance David Haigh

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>

Does Firefox have anything similar?

I had a Firefox crash twice in a row so lost my Restore Previous Session option (greyed out). I had a lot of important tabs open! Looking around the forum I think the data on the lost tabs is in sessionstore.js (I have sessionstore.bak too). Both contain a lot of text which looks like it has the information Firefox needs. However when I do File>Open File>filename it opens in a tab as text - how do I gt Firefox to use the data to restore my tabs? Windows7 Firefox 31.0 Thanks for any help...

Previously, when I exited firefox all tabs and windows would open next time upon re-opening firefox - not any more in 31.0

How can i set thjis so this would be my default?

when installing adobe flashplayer (APT for ubuntu 10.04+) on firefox in ubuntu, i am asked which application to open it with, I don't know as I have not used ubuntu much? which application should I use?

Out of the blue, my back button (and backspace button on keyboard) stopped working on some sites (TV Guide, Washington Post) but not others (Yahoo, Wikipedia) ... When I hit the button, the tab for the page "blinks" but it doesn't revert to the previous page. If I hold down the back button until the list of previous pages appears, I can click on the previous page and it will return ...

I've tried closing Firefox and rebooting without success ... Any ideas?
