I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

After the last update, I have been unable to access google. If this cant be fixed, I'll have to switch to another browser. Is browser that won't connect to google even a browser?

With no warning, Firefox is asking me if I want to import things from internet explorer (which I do not use) and then deleting the saved bookmarks and passwords I had saved in Firefox. This is the second time it happened, never had this issue before. Recently upgraded to Windows 10. Very very frustrating. If it happens again I am going to do away with Firefox.....

I just updated to version 40.0 & I've already noticed some things I don't like about the appearance of the new version. First, in the old version when I clicked the tools > options, it always opened in a pop-up. I really liked that. But, now, it opens in a new tab. Is there some way I can get it to open in a pop-up again? The second thing is the appearance of the "add-ons" page. I liked the way it looked in the old version, so I was wondering if there was a way to go back to the old appearance? Thanks.

After upgrading to version 40 this morning, HP simple pass is broken yet again. I tried the usual, uninstall and reinstall of both applications. The add-on is marked always activate. Still works in OS and IE. It also worked again when I downgraded to v 39.

I started today getting dialog box prompting me to open what I was clicking with afr.php But I notice a web address below - https://cas.ny.us.criteo.com

I went back & checked my add-ons - nothing new I refresh Firefox but I'm still getting it.

Hello

Mozilla Firefox after an update today to version 40.0 and synchronization lost all my passwords. settings,history,bookmarks,cards it all works, except password. Why did it happen ? please help

Installed involuntarily my search engine search.eshield.com and does not change in any way. Sorry for my English.

I have Windows 10 Home Version installed. I jumped quickly to install Firefox version 40 tonight and found that my Kaspersky plugins disappeared, as they are now not supported. Several other plugins, including Microsoft Office and Intel are also unrecognized, but the Kaspersky Safe Money plugin made it possible to go to sites and purchase in safety and to protect the browser as well.

Previous versions of Firefox are not recommended and some versions are not even supported anymore. Will there be some plugins for Kaspersky pretty soon, please?

Since I have upgraded to Firefox 40 for PC, I have noticed that smooth scrolling isn't smooth at all. The page scrolls but the text is jerky as I scroll down. By "jerky" I mean that it looks like it is refreshing and redrawing on the page rather than scrolling.

Unchecking options -> advanced -> general -> use smooth scrolling eliminates the jerkiness, but now the scrolling isn't smooth and now akin to a "page down" button press.

Smooth scrolling was working fine in FF 39.

I have a eVGA (NVIDIA) GeForce 960 GTX graphics card running v353.62

Any ideas? I am NOT having this problem in Edge or Chrome 44, so I'm assuming it's Firefox 40 related...

Crash ID: bp-dd03a30a-5cd1-4e18-9f06-2710f2150812

Mac book Pro running Yosemite 10.10.4

Constantly crashes on startup, even in safe mode; never see anything other than crash reporter. Have uninstalled, rebooted, re-installed. Uninstalled again, removed profile, re-booted, re-installed. Still not working.

I want to block downloading of pictures, while browsing. (WINDOWS 8, FIREFOX 40)

  I have been suggested to go to config editor  and  permissions.default.image.
          But i can not find it.

How can I permanently hide the Plugin Notification Bar in Firefox 40?

By Plugin Notification Bar, I mean this: http://help.galileo.usg.edu/docs/firefox_djvu_3.png (part 1 of the image)

I want to hide this Bar permanently, like the following Addon was able to do up to Firefox 39: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/hide-plugin-notifications/ (In Firefox 40, this Add-on does not work any more)

My Firefox install is still running 32 bit not 64 as I wish. I even allowed auto-update, something I never do with software but still no joy. Windows 7 +sp1 soon, hopefully and I think, upgrade to Windows 10.

I have today had to refresh Firefox because it kept crashing on opening and I could not open it. Another thread said a Refresh was the best solution, so I now have Firefox V 40.0 using Windows 10.0 OS.

Suddenly, 2 hours after the refresh, it has slowed down to a snail's pace - slower than a very slow thing, like watching paint dry, like have an old-fashioned dial-up connection. Takes about 15 seconds to load my home page, and just as long to change pages, either within the same website or when connecting to a new website.

What has happend and what can I do to corrcet this? Is there something in the profile or add-ons of my old version of FF that I need to add in to the new version?

I used to really like Firefox, but today is beginning to destroy my faith in the product.

Cheers

In Firefox versions 39 and before pressing Ctrl-D or clicking on the star opened the bookmarks dialog box. That dialog box opened with the list of folders expanded by default. In Firefox 40 the dialog box opens compacted. This requires additional mouse clicks to locate a bookmarks folder to save a bookmark in. Is there a way to restore the Firefox functionality, perhaps with a configuration setting. With many bookmarks to save to various folders for research projects, the loss of function makes Firefox difficult to use. Note: Using Firefox 40 on Windows 10, but I do not think that matters.

Some of my bookmarks will open in a full tab while others will open in the exiting tab but only show a partial on the left side of the page. Even if I start a new tab some of the bookmarks will still only open on the left side and as a partial page. How do I get all bookmarks to open in a new tab?

For years I have used Firefox with clear new tabs, and achieved this within the Options menu, General tab, -Show A Blank Page-, and, next line, left empty. This has always worked, up till now. Today, each new browsing tab takes me straight to the Yahoo search page, which I definitely do not want.

So, again today, I have next gone to the Search tab (within the Options menu), and deleted all the search engines listed, including the ticked 'Yahoo' option. Even so, each new tab still takes me to a 'Yahoo' search page.

How do I stop this now, and forever?

I look forward to your solution.

With many thanks for your kind help, Mark.

Since updating to Firefox 40, I am unable to click the bookmark star on my toolbar to modify or remove it. Usually I press the star to bookmark, then press it again and select the folder to put the bookmark in, add any keywords etc. But now it does not work. I can add the bookmark by clicking the star, but I cannot click again to modify it.
