I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Working fine, and then, not so fine...Not the only one in the office having this problem. All of a sudden, special text characters are viewing improperly. ie...and em dash looks like a diamond with a question mark thru it. Worked great and then, with no changes, it didn't work.

when I run my vulnerabilities check, and scan now, I cannot also run the instal updates option. it keeps telling that updates cannot be installed with games mode on. I right clicked on the bit defender icon and there is an option to switch games mode ON, so seems it must be off????

I can only open one window at a time. It's aggravating when I try to check my school email that prompts new windows to view each message. I can't even simply open two browsers at once.

On my desktop I switched to 64bit Win7 and installed the latest 32bit Tbird. Did the same on my32bit laptop. Laptop works fine in/out. 32bit Desktop would not send emails. Tried 64vit Shredder. Same problem; probably used same profile. Must use web for email until this is fixed. Second and latest problem. In 32bit Firefox, if I right click to send link by email, I get endless new tabs repeatedly. Have to shut down FF (twice???) and restart. Both are on PCs.

In trying to find out how to move a folder I created, I realised that I am supposed to see a drop down menu so I can name my folder, etc etc. I created my folder in Bookmarks Toolbar, 'cos that's the only place I could find the phrase 'new folder' . I created it and moved my sites into it, & now cannot find out how to move it to a more appopriate place. So my questions are, How do I move a folder, Why couldn't I see 'new folder' in the place I wanted to create it, which was the Bookmarks Menu, and thirdly, why aren't I getting the drop down menu, so I can organise my bookmarks? Please , dear volunteers, remember that all of us are not tech heads, some of us have only a limited knowledge, but aren't dumb!!

It doesn't matter if i just updated to the newest version the last time i used Firefox, the next time i use it, it tells me that my plugins are not compatible & that I should "update to the latest & greatest version." Have you ever heard of this problem, & if so how do I fix it?

When I got to a site and try to red "x" out of it, I just get a bunch more of that site on the bar and they won't leave. When I close down the computer and come back on, they are still there and will not "x" out.

When I open pdf files in the browser I do not have a way to save the file as a pdf file on my hard drive. I can only save it as a firefox image file one page at a time. I can't print it either except as individual pages from the image file. When I use the "Save As" icon my only options are to save as a Firefox file. What am I missing? Thanks.

The feature that enables Firefox to redirect to my academic library's remote access login site to gain access to journal articles that require a paid subscription is engaging when I try to access a website that does not have subscription content. Is there a setting I can adjust to remove this website from those that bounce to my library? (Removing cookies didn't fix it).

When I open a PDF in one tab other tabs lose functionality. This can happen within websites or within my homepage of google. For instance unable to type anything in one tab until the PDF in another tab is closed, unable to use the right mouse button have to use keyboard shortcuts. This happens 90% of the time a PDF is open.

== Since latest version of firefox was installed.
