When I print a Yahoo email, the text does not wrap (it used to) so part of the text is cut off. Also, the side bar that list my Inbox, Drafts, Sent, etc is printed out along with the email - it didn't used to and because of that, there is not enough room for all of my email. I tried resetting it to Shrink to Fit, but that didn't help; also tried changing the print setting from 100% to 60% but it still doesn't fit on the page.

Firefox has gotten extremely slow. Typing, loading, searching, even just scrolling from the top of a page to the bottom. My daughter had the same thing happen to her and had to get her computer stripped down and completely reloaded. I don't have that option. It has no viruses and has been completely freed of all things that could slow it down.

== About a month ago. It is getting worse.

How can b/w wasting video streaming adds be blocked (running 3.5.9 on Win2K)?

Thanks

== General with sites that have video adds (not sure if it's all)

Firefox loads the same pages every time I start up. I want my mail to open but then it also goes to a google search that I did. How do I take that page off of start up

Every time I open a new window or refresh a getting started with firefox page opens along with it. So everytime I go to my homepage for example the getting started with firefox opens along side in a seperate tab.

== I got this computer.

I did not upgrade for a long time and was probably on a 2.x release of some sort but last month I finally upgraded to 6.x and ever since Gmail and Pandora have told me my browser is out of date. I can still use Gmail but Pandora will not load anything.

I have cleared my cache and I have removed cookies but I still get the same error message.

I am using features that were introduced in version 6.x but even this site believes I'm using 3.5.9.

If I have to uninstall and reinstall, how can I do that without losing all of my saved passwords and other information?

When I start the folloing Web site Firefox is Crasht. http://de.rs-online.com

I have a window open with numerous tabs. I open a new window, and the current tabs are replicated - I would expect the new window to be blank - what am I doing wrong? What settings do I need to change. I run Firefox on a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard OS.

Whenever i look at a video (even my own) it says HD, i know it is , as internet explorer shows 1080p on my videos, but when i try to view my own videos on youtube, i see it in low quality not being able to change the quality. Also i get the odd "error, unexpected... please try again later" i refresh and get it again, i go on IE and its fine... ? help?

Using Firefox 3.5.9 under Windows 7 Professional, every time that I open my browser I get two (2) homepage tabs. I do not remember this happening in previous versions

== Not certain - First noticed it after last update

Typing: firefox "/home/user/document.htm#bookmark" places file:///home/user/document%23bookmark in the path. Yet the error message says "Firefox can't find the file at /home/user/document#bookmark." So it gets the path right for the error message but wrong for the path. If I go to the path in firefox window and replace the "%23" with the "#" the file loads correctly at the expected bookmark.

I save a bookmark, I click on "choose" and only 3 of my 10+ folders are listed. So I save under "unsorted", then "manage bookmarks" and move it to the folder I wanted it under.

Whenever I try to open a new site, say with google, I am re-directed to a site I have never visited. These are usually advertisements although I have a blocker. As of now, I have to copy and paste everything.

Thanks for the quick response;) Did recommendations, updated java, ran in safe, still......click on folder "unsorted bookmarks" , "bookmarks toolbar", "bookmarks menu","unsorted bookmarks" ,"choose" ,"my folder 1" and "my folder 2" then I click on "choose" and only "unsorted bookmarks" and an empty box below appears where all my folders should be.
