I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

the tray bar at bottom of screen has disappeared and also the favorites bar and menu bar at top of screen has disappeared also. how do i get these back.. everything in IE is fine, only in firefox do i have this problem

A bad coded web page kept on catching my attempts to close it. And I was stucked in a never ending loop of trying to close it or Firefox down with no possibileties to close. Other tabs were no problems. And I did have more than one open tab when I tried. I know I cant close the last tab. But it must be possible to force close this kind of bad written and bugging web-pages. I was using a laptop with Ubuntu Linux 10.04 and the latest 3.6 version of Firefox.

I work remotely almost every day. Since using Firefox I am unable to log on remotely and get the error message "This portion of the Remote Web Workplace requires the Microsoft Remote Desktop ActiveX Control. Your browser's security settings may be preventing you from downloading ActiveX controls. Adjust these settings, and try to connect again." How do I adjust the settings to run the Active X Control?

I'm using Debian 6 squeeze current stable 64 bit version of Debian Linux. I want to use Mozilla on this version. Is there any step by step guide for off line installing it or would you help me please.

When you're filling in forms, as you enter the first letter, all options beginning with that letter appear - allowing you to select one rather than type in an entry.

Some of those drop down suggestions can get pretty long. How do you remove entries - or clear them?

Not sure what to add except that it's more convenient for pdf's to open automatically when I download them, but I don't know how to make that happen.

== I think it started when I switched my downloads to a different folder (on my desktop), but it didn't get fixed when I switched back to the download folder.

My Address Bar search has changed from the Google default to Yahoo and the Reset option provided under Help doesn't work. If I had the exact value to enter, I believe I could circumvent the issue.

I need to enable some cookies, I know how to do this, but the first step is clicking on the tools menu which I cannot find.

It might be helpful to describe what my page looks like, so here it is. My Mozilla Firefox window has the bar at the top which says which page I am currently on, and has the options to minimize, close etc. The next line down has the back and forwards buttons, refresh, stop, home, the url bar and a search box. The next line down has 'most visited', 'getting started', 'latest headlines' and my bookmarked pages (which i bookmarked by simply dragging the web page on to the bar as I don't know where the menu involving that option is either). The next line down is a nectar tool bar.

Where have my menu's gone? How can I get them back?

Since last night FIrefox won't load youtube videos, all I get is a black box where the video normally plays. The videos load fine in both Chrome and IE. I started Firefox in safe mode but that didn't help.

For as long as I can remember, there has been a problem with bold fonts in Firefox. I don't know why this is happening. Here is a pic of what I mean, http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d190/eyyo/boldproblem1.png . I know this has happened to other people as I've seen other posts about the same problem, but none of the solutions I found have worked. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks.

Hi, since a couple of days ago, I am having trouble opening a select few webites and get the message that they have timed out. They are popular ones, ebay.ca, BBC, and chapters.ca. I also cannot view the itunes store in itunes, although I am still able to update podcasts. The only thing I did recently to the computer was uninstall norton, and install Microsoft security essentials. I have xp and firefox 3.6.3 I've searched for solutions and have cleared cache, cookies, updated java, ran norton removal tool, removed cookie file, tried no proxy, tried auto-detect proxy...and I am stumped. I don't know what else to try. Any ideas?

This is my 6th attempt to download a 1.3gig movie file. I have already turned off my virus check so that Firefox will download past the 1 gig mark. However, this morning my internet connection failed and the download was gone, though it is not completed to its full amount, just a little over 1 gig.

Is there any way to recover and resume this download from the existing, almost completed file? The server does support resuming downloads.

I'm currently using FF 3.6.13 on Windows 7 X64. I've finally got wireless online with Reliance Netconnect in India.

I have tried numerous times to download from the web, ranging from the VLC program to JPG files attached to emails. When prompted, I click "Save file." Then I can't find the file. There's nothing in my "Downloads" folder.

I WAS able to do this some months earlier on a land line in India and also the last time I was in the US.

Thanks for your help!

I have a Yahoo Mail icon that opens with Internet Explorer, but I want a Yahoo Mail icon that opens with Firefox. Firefox is set as our default browser. How do I set up that icon?

Hi,

On Hulu I can't get any shows to play. If there is an ad at the beginning, that will play, or most of them it seems, but the video never starts.

Any idea why this may be occurring?

Thank you.
