I installed FF 36.0 yesterday afternoon. Since then FF is a) slow to start - over a minute, b) slow to respond (same delay) when clicking a link in another program such as TBird. I have executed a refresh and cleared all cache and history. Still same problem even asterf numerous exits via the approved mechanism and restarts of Windows 7. THis is becoming annoying and time wasting. I also set the Norton Firewall setting for FF from Auto to Allow. Doesn't help
Links I get for a photo-sharing website open correctly in IE but not in Firefox 35.0, which goes to the right site but the wrong page. Previous Fox was fine.

In the past, clicking on the link in Thunderbird opened the page at shutterfly.com correctly in FF (default browser). Now it goes straight to one of the options for the photos that the link referred to.
Copy & paste the link directly into FF gives the same dud result - whereas IE opens it perfectly.
I have also tried disabling Adblockplus and my various plug-ins.

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.

When I turn on the computer Google comes up for me to sign in to because (I guess) that's the email corporation. But there are icons on a "bar" that are apparently Firefox. And nothing that says Mozilla. It seems to me that Firefox used to come up and then there was a place to click on Google for email.
I don't understand these relationships and what a browser is vs homepage vs search engine (which is always, for some reason, a thing called "bing"). Younger computer savvy people cannot seem to give me the answers - they will always start talking circles around my head as if I already understand these things. At my work, the only class I ever got was when all this started around 1991.
How to display current search engine icon in search bar?

I'm aware of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1033968, but that solution reverts the entire search bar widget to how it was before Firefox 34.
I don't mind the new search bar widget. But it's pretty crucial to see the currently selected search engine before starting to type. Currently, 3 of 4 search requests are executed once against the wrong search engine first. That's not only bad UX, it also causes a toxic extra load for search engine providers.
How can I see the icon of the currently selected search engine in the search bar instead of the search/lense icon? (like it looked in Firefox 33)
---
In addition, is there a way to expose the label of each search engine?
For instance, I'm using both Wikipedia and Wiktionary, and I'm using both in English and German, so I see the same icon 4x times. Currently, the label appears on mouse-over only, but I'm typically using the keyboard to select a different engine.

Foxstart appeared on my Firefox search bar. As advised by computer friend and newspaper article I went to Toos, Add-ons & Extensions to remove it but the only item was “Norton Identity Safe Toolbar (disabled) Incompatible with Firefox” I see that there are downloads available to remove Foxstart but I do not know if they are safe.
I tend to be careful in what I download and I am surprised that both Mozilla and Norton failed to block Foxstart.
Help!

I stopped using Firefox back in 2009 because of crashing issues, but decided to give it another try. I have added ad block plus, It has stopped working. I need to remove it, but I can't find anything about how to remove it. I can only find things about how to add it or disable it. I also would like to know why Firefox is so slow, when it used to be lightning fast.
I'm seriously thinking about not using Firefox anymore because its way so slow and very hard to work with, the developers have hidden most all the settings, that used to be right there at hand. There are a lot of webpages that do not display right. and flash makes Firefox even slower. Firefox also uses a lot of my CPU and memory. when i start Firefox my CPU jumps up to around 68% and stays there some times going higher. A browser shouldn't do this I have an AMD FX9590 8 core CUP running at 4.8 GHZ with a 5.0 Ghz boost. if i had a dual core or even a quad core Firefox would be maxing out the CPU.
I need to know how to remove Ad Block Plus from Firefox. Not disable it, but completely remove it from Firefox.
Thank You
How do I change toolbar icons to text? How do I add "Reload", "New Tab" and other items not showing in "customize" ?
See above. I did "refresh firefox" and lost my previous toolbars, which were in text, not icons.

I use Firefox as my preferred browser. I have been using Firefox 35 and recently updated to 36. Yahoo! Mail is my email provider. Every day, for weeks, when I first boot up my computer, when I open Yahoo! Mail and login, Yahoo! Mail freezes. To get it to unfreeze, I have to hold down CTRL and ALT and press DEL, more than once, to get to the screen where I can choose to enter Task Manager. Instead, when I click on CANCEL, Yahoo! Mail unfreezes. This only happens when I boot up the computer and try to log into Yahoo! Mail fresh.
I have read both Firefox and Yahoo! suggestions for eliminating what might be the causing problem: clearing the cache, deleting cookies, disabling add-ons, temporarily disabling the anti-virus software (I use AVG), etc.. None of them have worked. I have read both Firefox problem solver and Yahoo! problem solver comments stating the problem is the other service. I do see that others who use IE, Chrome, and Safari have had similar problems with Yahoo! Mail.
I am tired of this. What can be done to fix this problem? I have also posted my problem for Yahoo! Mail problem solvers.

This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect securely to estore.thecmp.org, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified. What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
I have tried to allow an exception but still cannot get into the site. This IS A TRUSTED SITE. How do I override this problem? New and improved Firefox seems not to be the case anymore. I cannot even save passwords or log in ID's now. I am getting upset and wish I could go back to an older version where I never had these problems.

I need to fill in an online survey but i can't tick the small boxes next to the images or options. First i noticed this on this site; http://www.buzzfeed.com/peggy/bohemian-homes-youd-love-to-chill-out-in#.liMj9b8pqw Images did not load but i thought it was because of the slow internet connection. When i clicked the links that were given as source the all of the images loaded. Then on the test i noticed i cannot click the options. To be sure of that i had a problem i tried some lame quizzes such as: http://www.buzzfeed.com/tomphillips/true-or-false-or-what#.eaOjqW6kJ2 I tried some of the options on support page like, disabling add ons, restarting firefox on safe mode etc. I even updated my shockwave, java etc. Later because of the risks i uninstalled java. Still got nothing and need some help!
Thanks.
