I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

While playing an Html5 video full screen on my second monitor, as soon as I try to do anything else the video exits full screen. Flash video works fine and will stay full screen on my second monitor. I also tried the same Html5 video in Google chrome and worked correctly and stayed full screen too. So why won't Html5 video stay full screen on a second monitor in Firefox?

I'm having on-again-off-again problems adding attachments to emails. The pop-up box will appear, but clicking Browse does nothing--no response. I have no problem if I go to IE and do it there instead, so it's clearly something to do with Firefox. It's happened occasionally, but it's been worse since the recent upgrade to V12.0. Help! Windows 7.

When I enter some items to search for in the upper right corner, using the Google search engine. The result are shown in chines characters. Then I go to the google website and enter the same search items on their home page, the results are shown in English. This problem does not occur when using other search engines.

After use of the method to remove MyStart and the toolbar and folder was removed, I still get the MyStart search page when I open a new tab. I had reset my search engine to Google, but when any new tab is opened it opens to the MyStart search page.

The other day I was having some videos that should have come up in Windows Media Player start coming up in QuickTime. I changed some settings, and they ended up working. HOWEVER, now I find that some sites that have embedded video don't show the video - there is a blank space where the video would usually be (and where the video IS when I open the site in Chrome). I'm afraid that I screwed something up and have tried re-setting things back to QuickTime, but nothing I've tried has fixed this. An example of a site where this is happening is here: http://www.entrepreneuressacademy.com/ I'd left that open in a tab "to watch later", but when I got around to it (I hadn't realized that it was just a 30-second clip), the video wasn't there in FireFox. I've tried re-setting options, closing and re-starting FireFox, etc., but this (and other) embedded videos are suddenly just not there (again, in FireFox, they're fine in Chrome, etc.). Also - embedded YouTube videos seem to work just fine ... it's other sorts of embedded videos (which USED to show up in FireFox) are now just blank spaces.

Hi there!

Well, last night I shut down my computer from the Start menu in Vista. I believe I had closed Firefox manually before I proceeded with the shut down. I don't think it has anything to do with the way you exit Firefox, but I'm just saying it.

I usually have several tabs open in Firefox, this time I had about 50 of them and every time I close Firefox it prompts me if I want to save the tabs. I don't think this is a default setting, I think I set this up myself. So I just click the option which saves my tabs so that the next time I start Firefox I can continue where I left off.

I believe I clicked the save button last night as well. But today I started up Firefox and the tabs were gone.

I did follow the procedure for restoring the last session as described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox%20does%20not%20ask%20to%20save%20tabs%20and%20windows%20on%20exit?s=Firefox+12+failed+to+restore+previous+session%21&r=1&e=es&as=s

But the thing is I don't have the option to restore last session when I go to Firefox button and History.

Also, I have started and closed Firefox since that several times. So this restore option might only just restore the last tab I closed anyway. As described...

If you close each window or tab, only the final window or tab that you closed will be available when you restart Firefox.

Why did Firefox forget to restore my tabs?...

This happened to me once before but I don't remember how I restored the tabs.

And also, it happened once that Firefox failed to prompt me if I want to save my tabs, and instead prompted me with a whole different dialog, the one where it warns me that I'm about to close all open tabs and asks me to confirm.

There was no way around it so I intentionally crashed the computer, knowing that once I log on to Windows and start Firefox again it will restore my tabs automatically whether it wants to or not. And, of course, this proved to be true, all my tabs were back.

But did I really have to crash my comptuer for this? Maybe I could have crashed only the Firefox by terminating it's process... but it works either way. One time it asks, one time it doesn't ask to save tabs. Completely disregarding the settings! There is something seriously wrong here!

After that first incident I was again able to save my tabs on exit, it always asked me to save them from that point on, as I would expect it to. Until now...

Now it asks me if I want to save my tabs, and I say yes please, just to find out the next morning it didn't restore them, as if they never were saved. Haha! LOL! Ridiculous! Haha, that Firefox 12! :) What a clown!

As mutch as this is a call for help in restoring those tabs, it is also a reminder to Firefox developers that something really stinks here! You need to work out the session save and restore mechanism in Firefox 12. Unluckily for me I had not installed the Session Manager extension. That's one tool that does better what Firefox should do by standard.

Hi Haw to install Mozilla composer, Ihave been in the page http://jerrytravis.com/mozTut/getting.html but I can´t find any download button to click on. I have Firefox 12.0 installed. Please give me I hint so I can get forward with my home page. Best regards Carl

Hi Everyone,

Ever since I upgraded to Firefox 12, I can't listen to radio station: http://www.sirasa.com/sirasafm.html I am behind a firewall and go via a proxy but this was never a problem. What firefox used to do was prompt me with the network password dialog and once i fill in the information it use to stream the radio station, however I'm not getting this anymore. I also checked and verified that I have Windows Media plugging installed

Also, I can listen to this station via Internet Explorer no problem.

Really appreciate any help.

Thanks,

in the last couple of days I have noticed that there are hyperlinks on certain Keywords and a whole bunch of websites where they never have been before and shouldn't be. they are all advertisements for something be it clothes or lessening your power bill or something else.

some of the keyword I have noticed it on is "register", "email", and "Christmas" there are more I am noticing daily. I have ran my virus scan and even tried another scan I downloaded, plus I have contacted the operator of one of the pages and they assure me there are no hyperlinks. Can you please help me with this? is it an add on I have chosen or is there something new you don't know about either. I hope this is sufficient for you, I can provide more info if I need to.

Hi,

It started last night, corrected itself the next morning, and by afternoon it was permanent.

It shows up on the Google Search engine as Google espanol.

I have decided I want Google out anyway. I am fed up with them.

So, how do I replace Google Search with Bing Search?

In English please.

Thanks for the help. I might could do it myself but I don't read Spanish. Help.

I am using Firefox 12 on my Macbook Pro, it crashed and when I restarted, all my bookmarks have disappeared. When I tried to restore them from the backup files, it keeps coming up with "Unable to process the backup file." Someone please help as I would have lost years of bookmarks.

Thank you

When I use Firefox to access my work email from home, I get the following error: "The maximum number of attachments that can be attached is 499. Please try attaching fewer items." This happens as soon as I click on the paperclip icon to add an attachment - the first one. If I use IE, this does not happen.

When I am signed into hotmail using firefox browser, I am unable to open emails or write a new email. I am running firefox 12.0 on windows 7 . I do not have this problem with hotmail using Google Chrome or Microsoft Internet Explorer. Any help would be appreciated. I have already uninstalled and re-installed Firefox 12.0 once and this did not solve the problem.

I just updated to firefox 12, but in the home page of firefox(default homepage), it always search using yahoo search engine, how can i convert it to search using google search engine?

I presently play a game online and override my cache management. I Set in the preferences the following parameters.

browser.cache.disk.max_entry_size = 2000: browser.cache.disk.smart_size.enabled = false

However, when I check the properties of the cache folder it currently shows 2200.

Here is a subset of the problem I am experiencing. There are alot of files stored in cache_001, 002 and 003 which do not get stored on disk. I use mozillacacheview to view the cache. Is there a way to remove these files without deleting the entire cache.

My homepage in Firefox has been hijacked by www.findamo.com. Re-setting the homepage does not work. Avast, CCcleaner, Spybot and DDSKill cannot detect it as malware. It is caused by a plugin called bPortectorForWindows. It puts many java scripts on the system. The executable and dll are found in the C:\Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\bProtectorForWindows folder. The exe file can be removed but the dll and .settings file cannot be removed as you are informed that they are being used by another user. An entry is also found in Scheduled tasks which runs every minute called bprotect which executes se.exe from the system32 folder of Windows. The exe file can be removed and the scheduled task can be removed. After re-starting the system everything except the scheduled task has been re-created and the home page remains as www.findamo.com. I have tried stopping each running service and deleting bprotect.dll and bprotect.settings but to no avail. I have even tried to install Recovery Console from the XP CD to allow me to delete these files but I get a blue screen crash saying that either a virus is present on the HDD or it is corrupt. Running CHKDSK /F proves that the HDD is not corrupted. All plugins have been removed but the problem persists. IE8 had the same problem but it has an option to stop software from changing the desired homepage and this solved the problem for IE8 once this option was set.

Firefox 12 on MAC OS 10.7.4 frequently gets the spinning wheel and temporarily locks up. Just typing this message I've gotten it several times. I sometimes get it when I switch between tabs also. Google Chrome seems to work fine.

I have enabled 32-bit mode, and disabled hardware acceleration in Firefox. I have also deleted the WebEx plugin as suggested on another site. Any ideas what is going on?

I try to use HTML5's audio tag to play a music file on my site. This is my syntax: <audio controls="controls"> <source type="audio/ogg" src="/portals/0/BelizeNationalAnthem.ogg"></source>
<source type="audio/mp3" src="/portals/0/BelizeNationalAnthem.mp3"></source>
</audio>

The problem I am encountering is that when I refresh my page, I can see the player, but only for a few seconds, then it fade out. I have tried using my Firefox to visit some other sites that use the same HTML5 audio tag, and it works fine. I try to visit my page in Chrome and IE normally. So I don't understand what is causing my Firefox to fade out the music player.
