I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I started having a problem with my yahoo e mail recently it started out just working slower than usual then it stopped letting me compose any mail. I am still able to receive and read my mail but it works very slowly nothing like it used to. I have upgraded my system to windows 10 but this didn't happen right after I did that it was working fine with windows 10 for several months before this happened. I contacted yahoo about it they checked out everything and said it isn't a problem with their program and I can compose e mails using a different browser without any problem. I can also compose using firefox and my msn outlook act. I really would like to get this fixed since the yahoo mail is my main one that I have been using for years now and all my contacts are through it. can you help me? I refreshed my firefox like your troubleshooting guide said to try and it didn't make any difference. Also disabled my virus protection and any other program that may interfere with it still no difference. I had everything the way I liked it before , but now I have to do it all over again Is there an easy way to do that with the folder you gave me of all my previous add on etc.?

My computer auto-restarted overnight while I slept, come morning time my wife was checking her emails online... which caused my previous session to be lost. I have some important tabs that I need to recover, and thankfully I was able to find my session in one of the "upgrade.js" files.

I copied the "upgrade.js" file and renamed it to "sessionstore.js" as mentioned elsewhere on this support forum. It has not worked, not sure if my version of Firefox is incompatible with that advice... or... if there are details missing with regards to all the steps I have to take to restore the session.

Please advise, I need to recover my tabs ASAP

I am trying to take an online class and I continue to get the following message, "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page". I click the "Allow" button but the message pops back up and the web page remain blank. I have tried to change the accessibility setting under the "Advanced" tab but the web page remains blank. What should I do?

All of a sudden (i.e. not after a Firefox upgrade) Firefox 41.0 has stopped accepting self-signed SSL certificates on various websites which it had been accepting for months. I've generated the certificates myself.

The link / button to add exceptions and import the certificate has disappeared from the "Untrusted Connection" error page.

Things I've tried so far:

• Import the certificates via Preferences > Advanced > Certificates > View Certificates > Servers. The certificates get imported but Firefox seems to ignore them.

• Quit Firefox, delete cert8.db from my profile, then restart Firefox

• Restart Firefox in Safe mode
• Import the certificate in the OS Keychain (this makes the websites work on Chrome and Safari)

The generated certificates are signed with "PKCS #1 SHA-256 With RSA Encryption", they are not expired and were generated with

   openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 1095 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout server.key -out server.crt

Apart from the trust issue, https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/ reports no problem whatsoever with these certs, they are fine ("If trust issues are ignored: A")

The only way I can access these websites is via a Private Browsing window: if the certificate was previously imported (via Preferences) the private session window can access the websites without a problem. If the certificate wasn't imported yet I get the option to add a temporary exception and after that is done it works fine.

This problem doesn't appear on another computer, even though the Firefox profile is synced between the two. The problem does not appear on a colleague's Firefox 41.0 (same OS and hardware) Certificates signed by a real CA are accepted just fine.

UPDATE:

I've marked this as resolved, but apparently the problem keeps coming back about once a week, in a completely random manner.

The best solution I've found so far is to quit Firefox, delete the following files from my profile, then restart Firefox:

• SiteSecurityServiceState.txt
• cert_override.txt
• cert8.db

I have recently "refreshed firefox" and now the Primetime Content Decryption Module is not installing. I never had this problem before and I have refreshed firefox multiple times but the Plugin has always installed itself. It keeps saying "Primetime Content Decryption Module provided by Adobe Systems, Incorporated will be installed shortly."

Please reply and Thanks for the help.

Every web page has annoying ads and popups. I have Norton 360 with a clean report. I have updated, reinstalled adblock plus. I have updated Firefox. Nothing works.

By default, adblock plus allows "Mysiterules" as enabled and I can not disable it.

Every website has popups that will not allow me to view the page unless I interact. If I open several tabs to view multiple pages, there's mystery advertising playing on a page with no visible ad.

It's making Firefox useless.

When I open a page to a new site I can navigate forwards and backwards on that site fine but whenever I try to leave that site via the back button it shows as though there are no pages beyond that site, as if the page opened fresh on that site. This is driving me insane so if anyone could help this non techie type person i'd be eternally grateful.

Since the update to Firefox 41.0.2 I have been unable to use Twitter.com. When I try to tweet, favorite or retweet the following error occurs. Your account may not be allowed to perform this action. Please refresh the page and try again. There are a couple of other users that have the same issue, however one had tinkered with the Mozilla and the other unresolved.

It started with the updated to 41.0.2 and twitter works in all other browsers, just not mozilla.

I only get it with Firefox go on to sky news and i get the line but if i go on internet explorer & then sky news i do not get lines. All my drivers are up to date. help please

On Plug-In Status page, Firefox says that I have the potentially vulnerable Adobe Flash player v. 19.0.0.185, and should update. But I already took this advice, and Adobe confirms that my installed version is 19.0.0.226. I ran the update at least twice (and of course I've restarted Firefox several times, and refreshed the page for good measure). Why does Firefox think I still have v. 19.0.0.185?

Essentially the same story with Adobe Reader plug-in 15.9.20069.28170. Firefox says I have this outdated version and should update. I ran the update at least twice (but unlike with Flash Player I don't know how to confirm that the update's been installed). The version Firefox says I have, and the advice to update, didn't change.

I updated two other plug-ins yesterday. Immediately after updating, when I refreshed the Plug-In Status page, those plug-ins disappeared from the "vulnerable" or "outdated" lists. It's only the Adobe Flash Player and Reader plug-in updates (which I also did yesterday) that Firefox seems blind to. I waited a day to see if Firefox would recognize the updates today, but it still doesn't. On this question-submission page, Firefox's "educated guesses" about my current browser list the older Adobe Flash Player and Reader versions that I've already updated from.

Hi, recently i have a problem with icons at firefox - some of them just plain disappeared from my navigation bar.

Usually i would go for view>toolbars>customize and then drag the icon back to navigation bar, but there i can't find the respective icons either (in my case Flashblock, Adblock Edge and Blur Icon).

Things i already tried: - "restore default" approach -> didn't work. - removing the 3 addons, then re-installing them -> didn't work - updating the addons -> icons still missing

Do you guys have any idea what to do to get those icons back? ;__;

thanks in advance Yato

I have found these instructions: In case you need more of a step-by-step:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste newtab and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and enter your preferred page:

   Page thumbnails (default) => about:newtab
   Blank tab => about:blank
   Built-in Firefox home page => about:home
   Any other page => full URL to the page 

Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked.

 However as per the attached screen shot, I do not have a preference "browser.newtab.url"

when i attempt to join a webex meeting, i get to the "starting webex" page but it just swirls and does not connect me to the webex meeting. I have to click on the special "having problems" link, download it and then enter the meeting from the download. I attend a LOT of webex meeting and this problem only started after the last firefox update (v41.0.2).
