I am using FF36 and attempting to create new Sync account. I am using a valid email account that is working. I have requested a confirming email multiple times over the last couple of days so I can validate the account. Nothing. I added mozilla as trusted. I checked all trash, junk, and spam files. Email not misplaced, Just not recieved. I even turned off zonealarm for a while to see if firewall might be blocking. Still no email from Mozilla.
I was amazed to get an email allowing me to set up this account. I cannot imagine why this worked but Sync email won't get through.

After updating Firefox, Downloadhelper doesn't work, even after deleting and reinstalling it. It runs and runs, but doesn't complete.

I've used DownloadHelper for years and have not had this problem before. It started about the time I did the update of Firefox, but I'm not sure that was the exact trigger. It appears that a download is being attempted as something is listed in the Firefox download list, but it never completes. I also tried installing 1-Click You-tube video downloader and had the same problem.
My firefox opens, but always hangs. I have completely deleted it and re-installed at least 3X and that doesn't help either. Any suggestions?

I can open firefox, but it stops working immediately, it hangs. I can't get to any websites. I followed directions that included deleting it from my files and from control panel. I then re-installed it, but I've had the same problem. I'm guessing somewhere buried in my files, is something else I need to delete. I am using Windows 7 on a Toshiba laptop. Any help would be appreciated.

I use the FF desktop browser but wish to access to mobile view of some website. Ideally this would be possibly on a by-tab basis.
I'm aware of the user agent switcher but find it cumbersome having to manually define a user agent for every website.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

I just started getting this black screen instead of some youtube videos whilst they are running , and whilst the sound still goes on perfectly fine. It's rare that it happens and it can change into the normal image, and when i change from full screen view to normal view it can also change back to the normal/real image. Does anyone know what that could be from?

I have a scrollTop jquery script that has been working for years but does nothing since I loaded Firefox 36. The script still works under Chrome and IE, so it must be an issue with FF. The script is this: function scrollTo() { var e = document.getElementById("findname"); var x = e.options[e.selectedIndex].value; var $target = $('#'+ x); var targetOffset = $target.offset().top;
$('html, body').animate({scrollTop: targetOffset-15}, 900);
}; And is activated by an onClick event: <input type="button" value="Click to find" onClick="scrollTo()"/>

After a hard drive crash I was reinstalling Firefox (without good backup).

Since the space exists, how can I make that space functional by putting something there?

Hello,
I've recently updated to Firefox 36.0, and since then (or around that time), my Outlook Web App stopped working properly. Some emails I can send, some I can't, even with one and the same recipient email address. I also cannot upload attachments, and sometimes there are problems downloading attachments. The error message for when I cannot send emails says there is a problem with the connection, and the error meassages for updates says that there is a configuration problem on the server. I have this problem in several WiFi and Lan-cable connections, but with Internet Explorer everything works fine. My laptop runs on Windows 7.
I've un-installed and re-installed Firefox. I've emptied my cache and deleted all history. I've removed Firefox from the list of allowed programmes from my firewall, and then put it back on the list again. I've checked my plug-ins for updates. None of this has helped.
Any advise would be much appreciated.

After several unsuccessful attempts entering my master password in both Thunderbird and Firefox, I restarted Win 7 professional computer twice. No luck. So I reset master password. After successful reset, tried to enter new password. Would not accept it. Can someone offer advise to remedy? Don't think I'm hacked. Maybe a file is corrupt?

When I click the star to bookmark a site it goes into the recently bookmarked area of the library. I then drag or cut or copy and past it into a folder I already have in the bookmark library, but it doesn't disappear from the recently bookmarked. If I delete it from the recent, it also gets deleted from the folder in the library. What can I do to keep it in the folder but remove it from recently bookmarked?

The website is one of our local restaurants: Mainefishmarket.com. I was able to visit this site just a couple of days ago. Previously it had a www prefix, but when I try that I get a text only error message. Without the www I got through. Now when I try, it wants me to download: "Flash Player Update_10924i40814784-il345.exe" from http:\ files.red-1-small-button.com.
When I type in the maine.. address in the browser bar, firefox shows this address, which makes me all the more suspicious: browser-updatez.ru/?80&source=mainfishmarket.com.
Who should I contact about this? It looks like a serious attempt to take over my computer.

A friend of mine asked me to help him out with this and I'm sorry to say, I'm stumped. He's got a Windows 8.1 system (full version, U.S. not K or N), this is his regular office computer (he's the manager at a Electrical Contractor) and he watches Weather.Com and it's videos to try and plan for any snow closings. At some point, the videos on Weather.Com stopped playing and all they show is a black window on the page where the video should be playing.
There was another thread (archived now) about this problem on FireFox 25 (he's using the latest 35.0.1 and the latest Flash player 16.0.0.305) and I tried several of the suggestions in that old thread: First FireFox has minimal addons, uses the Noia Fox 3.0.1 theme and that's it; plugins listed are OpenH264 Video Codec; Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.305; Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10.32; Google Earth Plugin 7.1.2.2041; Google Update 1.3.26.9; iTunes Application Detector 1.0.1.1; NVidia 3D Vision 7,17.13.4411; Picasa 3.0.0.0 and that's all, no AdBlock Plus or anything else. I tried FireFox in safe mode and still couldn't watch; the driver for the nVidia 610 graphics adapter was slightly out of date and I updated it to the latest 347.52 and that made no difference.
I was able to watch Weather.Com videos with IE; I was also able to watch YouTube and MSN videos with FireFox and this problem seems to only affect Weather.Com.
Does anyone have any idea's?

I was searching the forum for translators and noticed some past questions about it. I wanted to say that Google Translator translates into 40 languages and it can be installed as an add-on in Firefox. I just installed it for a Swedish web site and the translation was amazing. It's very quick and seems to work very well.

Up until yesterday I was able to click on a link using my wheel. It would open a new tab without leaving the tab I was in. Now when I click on the wheel it leaves the old tab and goes to the new one. Just as if I'd used my left button. I do hope I can get that option back. It is very handy.

Hey,
i hope someone have an answer to this problem.
My windows vertical scroll mouse setting is set to 5. The problem is that if/when firefox crashes or is force closed then this value is reset to 1.
have tried same approach with all other browsers, and many programs, but firefox is the only one that actually resets this value.
i cannot find anything in about:config that should set it to 1 in case of crashes etc.
i have tried to re-install both my mouse driver, my touch-pad driver(laptop Synaptics). and tried to reinstall firefox. even after reinstalling windows it still persists in this matter.
i have an Asus G74sx laptop running windows 7 Ultimate
hope anyone can shed some light as to why the problem occurs ?
