I have been using Firefox and it used to ask me if I wanted to save a download or open it. Now, when it is a PDF it automatically downloads. I don't need all of these downloads on my computer. When I go to Options, I have checked the box that says "Always Ask Me Where to Save Files". I only want to open downloads, not save them.

for several years, after uninstalling and reinstalling, I cannot open a new tab without a complete duplicate being created with all the same open tabs. Example .. I have a window with four tabs open. In my tray, i have 4 windows, all with the same 4 tabs. uugh!

I get this message and I would like to know what it means. 'Password Bank has found that Firefox was uninstalled from this computer. Please confirm following elevation request to remove orphan Password Bank support.

Since my system was getting sluggish I've decided to format everything and reinstall Win 8.1 back with FF32.

I was normally logged in and have stored approx. 100 passwords and bookmarks in that FF32.

After reinstall I've logged in to FF Sync and found an unpleasant surprise: Even though all check boxes are ticked - everything is emply. Nothing is being fetched.

What the hell? I dislike losing everything. I do have backup but not completely up to date.

sigh

On a different computer with Windows 8.1, even going to Options and selecting another URL as home page, Firefox returns to Yahoo. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox from Mozilla website, theoretically not "optimized for Yahoo"... same results each time.

After I upgraded to the latest version of the Firefox the print on most sites I visit became virtually unreadable because the text is so faint. In same cases I have to block the text to be able to read it. It became impossible to use the "Reply" or Compose" in gmail (online) because the default type-size is so small and faint (grey? or light?). I literally have to go to a notepad to compose my message, then block and copy, and finally paste it into the reply window. I played with default colors, etc but nothing seems to fix it. I even used the classic-theme restorer add-on and still no improvement...

Anybody else have this problem? What is the solution?

So, i have a browser account and sync used to work, but not anymore. Also in the support site it shows wrong password. is it not the same account ? Should i need more than one account for the product and the support site ?

Although it shows that bot am logged in my pc and andriod, my accounts are not in sync.

I'm running the latest version of Firefox, Silverlight, and Flash on Mac OSX 10.8.5 with the latest software updates.

As soon as I start using silverlight (for example, if start streaming netflix in one tab) parts of other pages go white. See links below for examples.

It only happens when I begin using silverlight, and it happens every time I use silverlight, so I don't see how it can be anything else. I have no other issues with other browsers. Restarting FF fixes it, but only until I start running silverlight again.

Currently using Firefox 30.0.3 Mac OS 10.9.5. When I tried to edit my collection of bookmarks buy opening the "show all bookmarks" in the pull-down menu., nothing happened. This usually opens a new tab or window with the bookmarks displayed. I then researched HELP and tried all those solutions to no avail. Even where the help topic says a bookmarks window will open, it does not. I have no way of editing or deleting en masse outdated bookmarks. Yes I can do so individually through the bookmark button on the toolbar - what a pain in the _________s.

Is this problem intentional, or a glitch?

Hi,

When I print eBay labels through Firefox, a .dll file is downloaded. This used to open automatically in Adobe Reader, but now it opens as a text document in TextEdit, so I have to manually open Adobe Reader, change options to show "all files", and then locate the .dll file and open it.

When I try to change the default application in Firefox preferences, I can't find anything with the content type "dll".

Is there a way to have Firefox automatically open .dll files with Adobe Reader?

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

The address wasn't understood

Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (rtsp) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.

   You might need to install other software to open this address.

I am not a techy so please make it simple.

Thanks

For some reason, whenever Firefox is maximized, part of the browser window is showing down at the bottom of the screen. I don't know why it is doing that. I tried disabling classic theme restorer and it didn't go away, I tried updating to the latest version of Firefox and it still didn't go away. I am using a laptop with a touch screen built in and I notice that whenever I scroll up along a page using the touch screen, it starts glitching where the window will repeatedly try to jolt downward and come up. I think that has something to do with why the bottom part keeps showing. Other than that, there isn't any other problem with it.

So i've set plugins.click to play to both false and true, restarting firefox each time.

It still blocks everything. I had a similar problem with the last update as well, and couldn't find an add-on that would help. To be fair i'm not getting the annoying message anymore but even with noscript disabled it still just shows a gray box where stuff should be.

this is a good example

Why can't i turn it off? am i missing something? Please help me before i lose my mind. I have homework to do.

Tools -> Options -> General -> When Firefox starts -> Show my homepage -> Home Page -> http://www.bing.com

It always goes back to the last visited page.

Any attempt to use the add-on dialog redirects to the following URL:

I've run an Avast boot scan with found nothing. I've run CCleaner and found nothing.

My Google search turned up a few other people with this issue but no definitive answer.

Hello.

I decided to try Australis (again). So I updated my 28.0 Firefox to the newest one (32.0.3). But the bookmarks bar show none of my bookmarks. When I hit Control + B, the sidebar shows all of them: they are here, but the bookmarks bar shows none (and, yes, there are bookmarks in the "bookmarks bar" folder).

But it's not actually blank. Instead, it shows the "bookmarks bar" element itself (not it's contents). I have made a screenshot, but there is no field to upload it now, so I'll submit it right after posting this.

I tried removing and restoring the "bookmarks bar" element one sees when customizing, but that didn't solve it.

Hi Mozilla ~

In the URL field of Firefox, there are two icons on the far right, just left of the pull-down arrow and refresh arrow. They appear to be for Google and Facebook, both with tooltips that say, "View and Manage Requests". The pull-down menu allows me to manage those Friend requests they link to, but "Move to Menu" and "Remove from Toolbar" are greyed out and not actionable.

Q1 - How did they get there? Q2 - How can I stop them from being placed automatically in the future by these privacy-muggers? Q3 - What are they doing in the URL field? Q4 - If the right-click context/pull-down menu has greyed out the option of "Remove from Toolbar", how can I delete them?

FWIW, I have accounts with Google and Facebook but trust neither and so have blocked them in every way possible from watching me, sending me notifications, doing anything "for" me, etc. My Add-Ons may be visible in my account, but generally they are related to organizing: "Group Tabs", "Bookmarks" or to my customized work process: "Send to Kindle", "HTTPS Everywhere" and "Disconnect Privacy". I hope that helps.

In an online world of sharks and blood-suckers, I trust Mozilla to help me be safe. Thank you for helping me figure out what Google and Facebook are going in my URL field.

I prepared a JPG to show what it looks like but there is no upload image function in this screen... and I cannot seem to drag-and-drop the file into this form field. Please advise.
