Fórum podpory Firefox

see Question.

I know what version of Firefox and OS X I have. I believe that info is available to webservers in the User-Agent request header. Why not check that and not bother folks who have the latest browser version for the latest operating system for their hardware? If I had an extra $2000, believe me, I would get a new Mac.

I have a series of questions related to the OS dictionary and about looking up the definitions of words and spelling. With Safari I could use Command+: to turn on Spell checker and loved using it. I have spell checker turned on with FireFox via Preferences/Advanced/Check my spelling as I type and like the other method better. I suppose I could get used to the method FireFox uses, but don't understand why cmd: can't work too. I even went in through system preferences and added it as a keyboard shortcut for Firefox without success. I dont' see anything in the pulldown menu's using that key-combination so what's blocking it? Another important feature that doesn't work is I can't click on a word to look up the definition. That's an important feature and I use it often. Because of these I stopped using firefox and continue using Safari even though Safari doesn't work for a main site I visit. Safari is also generally slow and locks up constantly causing me a lot of grief. If the problems I wrote about worked I wouldn't use Safari again and would commit to using Firefox. I would appreciate knowing how to do what I'm trying to do. Thanks,

Chris

I've a novel's chapters in pdf and only there. I need to send my book to a publisher in Word. I don't want to retype -- it's 186K words. I can't get my book out of pdf. Has anyone else faced this?

I hate tabs and have not upgraded to the newest version of Firefox because the Tab Killer add-on does not work on newer versions.

As Firefox is so customizable, how do you turn off tabs in the new version?

I don't want tabs in my browsing. None. I'm sticking with FF3.6 & Tab Killer until someone solves this problem - and I reckon there are a lot of other people sticking with FF3.6 for the same reason.

I want new pages to open in new windows so that the close button top right works EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AS THE REST OF WINDOWS. I want Alt-Tab to switch between my open web pages EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AS THE REST OF WINDOWS. I don't want to waste screen real estate on a Tab Bar I've got no interest in using. I don't want right-click menus infected with tab options, especially when you put the Open in New Tab option in the wrong place back in FF4.

And yes, I AM SHOUTING. This should have been made a valid option years ago.

If you're unwilling to build it in as a standard feature, at least build us an add-on to do the job...

...and you wonder why so many people stick with FF3.6...

This Custom Search Menu appeared on the bottom of my firefox homepage, offers no method of removal and it is bloody annoying!

It's bad enough your new version does not support roboform and now this.

I want a fix asap or I'll just use another browser.

I await your response and I would appreciate a rapid one.

With Regards,

Mark

Last week I found I could no longer open attachments in my Hotmail account using Firefox v 3.6.25. I have been using this version for quite awhile and this is a new problem. I did upgrade my Norton 360 to v 5.1.0.29. I have contacted Norton and they were unable to assist me. There is NO problem accessing these attachments when I switch to Chrome or Internet Explorer. Any ideas why Firefox has balked at this? I have cleared my cache and cookies. No help! Thank you, Ian

OK. So in October I made the mistake of opening a website offering a free iBook (I'm really not gullible; I thought I could figure out who was sending it too me). Ever since then, I cannot open a new Firefox session without being redirected to the site (If I open up more than one webpage and save them before closing, I don't get redirected to the ibook site).

I actually keep my web-surfing software on thumb drives, and I tried two different thumb drives doesn't matter. I purchased and ran an anti-virus program. No dice. Can you help me?

I have a MacBook, which runs on system OSX 10.5.8

We are limited to using firefox 3.6.25 for work in order to be compatible with various other systems. Every time I open firefox, I get a "whats new" page that wants to download a new version, which we are not allowed to do. It is a real pain to have this show rather than my home page or a blank page. How can I get rid of this?

I am so satisfied with Firefox 3.6.25 (thank you so much), but I am concerned about to update the program because the system requirements does not meet my PC or does it? I have Win XP Pro SP2, PIII 600 MHz. I always get messages from you about update the program but don't know if it is possible.

1. Question

Why can't I minimize more than 2 notepads in FF? I used to be able to minimize as many notepads as I wanted. When I do research on a topic I keep many notepads open until I am finished. FF must have done an update & now I can't do that anymore. Is there a setting I can change that will enable me to do that again?

Also at that time, the length of sentence I am typing changed. It doesn't seem to have any limit to how far it can extend to the right.

Please help. I am not very techy & don't understand Computerese. Please explain in everyday English. Thanks in advance,

posy

When updating from Firefox 3.6 to 9.1 should I first un-install 3.6?? I want a clean install of 9.1 but would like to keep all my settings, cookies, passwords, dictionary, etc.
