It seems that I was in a hurry and needed an answer right away. I could get the toolbar but the bookmarks section didn't work. I thought it was Firefox but it was Yahoo. After what those in the know here suggested, myself and others will have to wait on Yahoo to have a fix. After reading the-edmiester post I reread my posts. I must say to tyler, james and others, I apologise .

Web/Country drop-down missing from Google search-tools

After updating to 35.01 and now to 36.0, the Google search results page now behaves differently between Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. The issue is that the "search tools" used to ALWAYS show the web/country choice filter (drop-down), but now only shows 2 options, that is the anytime filter, and the all-results filter. Chrome still shows consistently, all four options (web/country, anytime, all-results, local-location).
After reading various articles on this, and checking likely options in about:config, I found that the ONLY way I could get this back to "normal" was to override the "browser.newtab.url" setting as follows: browser.newtab.url;https://www.google.com.au
NOTE: I have NO problem or blockage in changing my home page (it is set to www.google.com.au) and do NOT have any malware, or the Trovi/SearchProtect/Conduit add-in.
This can still occasionally get the missed options, but it is now 90% consistent. It would be good to get a permanent and proper fix for this. If anyone has a better more rbust method, please let me know. TD

When I print a web page, the other columns on many pages overlap with the content I'm trying to print resulting in an unreadable printed pages. This issue does NOT occur in other browsers so I've had to resolve by printing using IE or Chrome. I've tried ALL of the recommended fixes on your help topics with NO fix. All my print page settings are at the recommended default and I've reset the printer properties via your help topic recommendation. Can you help? My printer is a HP laserjet 2200d. My OS is Windows 7, 64-bit.
I have lots of downloaded files but since last week none of them will open.

There is some kind of glitch going on with Firefox because a Gmail setting also won't work with it whereas it does in IE. But everything else seems OK except the downloads. It's as if all the files have been grayed out. They don't respond to a double click or to the open option on right click.
Skype or Latest Update causes Disconnects, Crashes

Have used Firefox for several years. Today I was forced to upgrade to Skype 7.1. Immediately after the installation of Skype, Firefox would no longer connect to the internet or load web pages (tab says "Connecting..." forever). Other applications and browsers work fine and there's no interruption to PC internet connectivity. After about 2-3 minutes of this, Firefox will crash if left alone.
After that, firefox.exe remains as a process and can never be ended. I try "End Process" and "End Process Tree" in Task Manager without success.
Firefox remains as a task in Task Manager forever, even when the browser window appears closed. If I try to re-open Firefox from there, I get the error "Firefox is already running but is not responding". When I click "Close Firefox", I get a new error message that says "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible". After I "OK" out of that, I can't do anything but re-start the computer to get rid of firefox.exe from Task Manager...and then the cycle repeats.
Not sure if Skype is to blame as Firefox also updated itself today. I blame Skype because it was doing the same weird hanging in Task Manager without ever closing until I disabled video processing in Skype (and because of the suspicious timing).
I've tried clean re-installs, running Firefox with add-ons disabled, and re-installing Skype as well. Same behavior in all cases.
Any suggestions? Note that I'm submitting this from a different machine.
FF is removing my check mark from the 'allow sites to use their own fonts' box How do I stop this?

I need to allow 2 sites (so far) to choose their own font styles and sizes, but most of the rest drive me bananas and are difficult to read, I've tried installing 'Stylish' but that just offers a list of styles for specific sites (like YouTube and GMail etc) made by coding type people.
That's not me.
Didn't there used to be something that let you change fonts and colours when you had the site page open? There was a pane to one side that gave you a preview of what your adjustments would look like - what can I use like that for FireFox 36?

It takes forever to load any of the sites I normally go to, and it also takes forever for either of my e-mail accounts (att.net and aol.com) to load. Very often I am misdirected to the Yahoo Search engine, or worse it says "this page cannot be loaded," or something of that nature. This only started after Firefox installed that "hello" function, or at least it seems that way. This is very frustrating. I'm an old lady, and this is just horrible. What can I do to fix it? Please help! Thank you!

Hi The mulipart/form-data request is breaking with upgrade to Firefox 36. Says authenticity of the recieved data couldn't be verified.
The other part of the website seems to work fine just the multipart/form-data request is failing on upload.
On server side we have a CISCO ACE load balancer ACE 4710 DM Web Version A4(2.3) which has the certificates installed.
The multipart request was working with Firefox Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0.
Can you point us to the right direction as to why this is failing. The application is mission critical for us.

I tried this extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/customizable-shortcuts/), but it doesn't appear to support editing the current "Alt+Enter" to change to "Meta+Enter" where Meta = Command on a Mac.
I want to switch to Firefox, but this is the one and only thing preventing me from doing so! I have a decade plus of muscle memory using the key next to the space bar + enter to open a new tab. Please help!
Firefox 36 still blocked by WinXP firewall after manually creating exception

The new Thunderbird worked fine this morning on my dev machine, but FF36 (took the upgrade when offered last night, today's the first day out) can't find google. (Network equipment works fine, and seeing as I'm typing this from my non-dev machine my net is unlikely to be the problem.)
Went to a public terminal and read the support notes, got some dev in, etc. Came back here and have implemented the re-exception policy on the dev machine as best I'm able: 1) I'm running WinXP, and AFAIK am not able to update as MS would prefer I waste money on a new OS. So stuck with the windows firewall.
2) I have old versions of FF on the dev machine. After a bit of experimentation--went into the program directory and found the executable was last updated last night--I struck FF from the exception list altogether, and re-added (and enabled) it, as directed. FF was not operating at the time.
3) After thusly re-creating the exception and restarting FF, it continues to be unable to find google, or mozilla for that matter. Request: include a support IRC/e-mail/etc contact in the Help/About, so we don't need to have a working browser to get help getting the browser working.
4) I run AVG but have not enabled its firewall (I'm using the free 2014 version, continuing to update it as needed. Why screw around with another EULA??). I also run Malwarebytes but do not believe that it has any sort of firewall or other blocking component. I was able to update Malwarebytes without problems on my dev machine, as well as execute Git console commands. I was *not* able to connect to IRC via ChatZilla; not a complete surprise, but a Just In Case check.
Be advised that the version/OS/plugins info is NOT representative of that on the machine suffering the problem, as I'm unable to get that machine here thanks to the can't find anything failure.

Ok guys, this one is a bit more complicated than it sounds. A while back I was using a older version of Fox, I think v 15.xxx and had flash player 11 or 12. When using youtube it looked great. But now I upgraded to the latest firefox and latest flash player. When I watch vids on youtube they look real blurry and pixelated until the 720 hd kicks in. And even then it doesn't look as good and with the older flash player. I checked and my nvidia card doesn't seem to have any effect on either program. Is this a legit problem and which flash player version should I switch back to??

System details: OS: Windows 8.1 Professional (64-bits) Graphics Card: PNY NVidia GT 610 (2GB) RAM: 5GB Firefox version: 36.0 (32-bits)
Starting yesterday, when images would load on websites, some of them would either be completely black, or mostly black, with only a piece of the images loaded, only to fully load several minutes later.
Turning off hardware acceleration resolved this issue, but reduced the overall performance of firefox. Is there any other way to work around this issue, besides turning off hardware acceleration?
Note: The only 2 things I didn't try were resetting firefox, and a fresh install of firefox. I don't want to lose my addon data, and custom firefox settings, because it takes too long for me to put them back where they are now.
I'm also fairly computer savvy, so you can get pretty technical with me. If I don't understand something, I will ask.
