I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

A week or two ago, Yahoo started coming up as my home page. No matter how many times I change it back to Bing, every time I bring up Firefox, there is Yahoo as the home page. Changing it back to Bing and clicking ok is not working. I'm getting a little frustrated with this. How do I get rid of Yahoo coming up as my home page when I did not even ask for it?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely, cbrsarah

For some reason now whenever i open a new tab, instead of bringing me to the default mozzila one it brings me to a trovi search site, the same page poped up for my home page but i could fix that, any help

Fa-Fa awsome icons are not displayed on firefox while displayed well on all other browsers. go to www.upsingh.in

In Dailymotion, the thumbnails are blacked out even with the age gate off. I have tried all the fixes found here in the support, but none of them work. It all started with the last update of firefox, so I assume it has something to do with that. Dailymotion works fine in IE and other browsers. Firefox is the only one with the problem. I would like to get it resolved if anyone can help.

Firefox STILL won't let me add a security exception. This problem was raised zilions of times.

A partial solution is found here (If I uncheck the permanent exception box, it will save it.)

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/987476

But I need to do everything twice to go through.

A second solution, i.e. remote the CA as explained here

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1020629?esab=a&as=aaq

is temporary and it doesn't work when you clear your history (the CA is again there).

Can you please, please, fix this? It was working fine with just 1 click on "confirm security exception" till 1 year ago. Why do you want to complicate easy things????

Is there any hope to get 64-bit Firefox for windows soon? My problem is Firefox + JDK/netbeans-bundle on 64-bit Windows 8. Everything else can be 64-bit, but Firefox. So Firefox wants 32-bit JRE for normal browsing, but installing 64-bit JDK replaces it with 64-bit that doesn't work on Firefox.

Installation of 32-bit JDK/NB-bundle on 64-bit Win8.1 crashes.

So it's either JDK/NB or Java-capable Firefox, but not both? Or is there a simple way to tell Firefox to look into another directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_20) when the other SW is looking into the default (C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_20) directory?

I know the problem has three parties: Microsoft, Oracle and Mozilla, but Mozilla seems to be the one with no "current" (64-bit) option.

Recently I am unable to download anything in FF. It briefly acts as if downloading, but the file is corrupted and the next to the file in the DL manager it just says "Failed".

I tried Resetting FF. No luck. Then I tried all the steps in the "downloading problems" support doc. No luck. I tried with all add-ons disabled. No luck. In desperation, I searched for "Firefox" and moved two folders called Firefox, the application, and a .plist file to the trash (still there) and redownloaded Firefox and reinstalled. No luck.

If I click on a .pdf it will be be viewable, but it won't download. It's not just .pdfs that fail, it is any file I try and download.

I hate the new pin it button that puts "pin it" over every damn thing I am doing. I am editing my blog, and PIN IT appears over every picture!! every time I scroll over it. I want to get rid of this and return to just pinning what I want when I want, which isn't often. Does anyone know how to get rid of the PIn It button?

Hello!

Yesterday I was working on the website Wix. I noticed that when I tried to right click to copy and paste some text the box never showed up. I then realized, on other websites, that the drop down menus would not open (like the ones where you select your state, etc.). I can turn on the menu bar at the top of Firefox with the ALT button but when I click on Tools or anything else the box does not drop down. Same for my book marks and the menu of frequently used buttons. My right clicking works fine when I'm not online. I really love using Firefox and hope there is a better solution than switching to a different browser. I use Firefox at work and it is fine there.

Please let me know if you need any more information.

How do I totally remove Shockwave Flash 15.0.0152. Using Ubuntu 12.04, FF 32.0.3. It seems that I have Shockwave Flash 11.2.202.406 installed also...How ???. When I disable SWF 15.xxx, it disables SWF 11.xxx also.

This was happening before I installed Chrome browser. Chrome is the only way I can use my computer without throwing thing about the room.

When I enable SWF 11.xxx, and leave SWF 15.xxx disabled, SWF turns on SWF 15.xxx. Seems these two versions are screwing up everything on my computer. Can't watch videos, FF goes gray screen and stuck, for 30 seconds, then recovers, then goes gray screen, then a message comes up "bad script -- Stop?", etc.,etc.

Lately when I am using T-bird email the screen goes gray and stops working.

Please help

Thanks SB

I have found that Firefox 32 is not compatible with the Win 7 desktop theme that I am currently using (High Contrast White Theme). I filed this issue as bug on the Bugzilla website, but until they get that issue fixed, I want to go back to Firefox 31.

My questions are: 1. Do I have to uninstall Firefox 32 first, or can I just install Firefox 31 over Firefox 32? 2. Will I lose (or mess up) my Firefox settings by doing this? 3. Where can I get Firefox 31? 4. Is there a way I can stop automatic Firefox updates from occurring, and instead get a prompt?

Thank you for any information anyone can give on this.

Latest discovery by Google says even though I use TLS, I may be configured to be backward compatible to SSL3.0 and a "Poodle" attack by a predator website might induce me to use SSL3.0 and be vulnerable to attack. They say the cure is: "To prevent POODLE attacks on Firefox, open about.config, search for "security.enable," and set "security.enable_ssl3" to false."

First mistake is "about.config" should be "about:config". Second problem is there is no "security.enable_ssl3" line to be found. I don't know if I'm supposed to create the line, and if so, how do I do that?

Hi. Today I was having trouble with Firefox being sluggish and crashing/freezing every time I played a Facebook game. It kept telling me to download the updated flash which I have done about 6 times today. It still will not recognize I have it. I looked in my control panel under Flash and I see the following: Active X version 15.0.0.0.152 NPAPI plug in version 15.0.0.152. PPAPI plug in version not installed. (I looked that up and it seems that is not for my Windows XP. The flash player I installed was 15X32_mssd_aaa_aih(i).exe. That is the manual I was asked to download on support.mozilla.org...then it gave me a specific plug in. Even though I knew I had it, I did attempt to download the plugin. It gets to 66% download complete then error application in use occurs (because I already have it) and it automatically opens Window IE to retry. I know for a fact I have the most updated version. For some reason Firefox just will not recognize it. I've restarted my computer. Earlier I reset Firefox and regave permissions on my plug ins. I have honestly done ever single fix I can do. Help please. I am going to lose my religion if this aggravates me any further! Thanks y'all. Oh and as you can see down there, it is saying I have Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 12.0.5.146 which is not true. My control panel, Flash section disagrees and says I have 15.0.0.152.

I cannot watch videos or news clips on Firefox. I can with other browsers but I use Firefox the most. I get this message: "Download Flash Player now You need to install Flash Player to play this content." I already have it and it is up to date. Please help! Cheers Sarah

The address wasn't understood

Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (rtsp) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.

   You might need to install other software to open this address.

I am not a techy so please make it simple.

Thanks

Upon opening .swf files I get open or save as options. I have tried all the fixes I could locate nothing is helping. I have even tried to reinstall the flash player program. I can play the files from the site but after downloading them I can no longer play the files from my desktop without getting the open or save as options like it is trying to re-download the same file. This repeats non-stop. I have checked the options in tools however I can't seem to change or reset any of the things for .swf files. One of the options for the file targets shockwave flash, which I have installed but the other says always ask. I can't change it to firefox, if I set it to IE it repeats the open or save as options like it does in firefox. I can't seem to locate any program to open the file in firefox.

Before the last few updates I use to just be able to click on a .swf file and it'd open in firefox without issue. I'm not sure what has changed within the last few updates but now I can't open .swf files unless I do so from the site I downloaded the file from.

Hello, in our company we all use firefox (different versions) to use our CRM (SugarCRM). Since some of the PC (with windows 7) updated to Firefox version 33 (64bit) we started getting the following problem while downloading PDF:

"C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Temp\[tempfilename].part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read."

We tried to downgrade to Firefox 32 and everything seems to be working fine. I already tried to delete the profile, reinstall Firefox, clear cache, delete Profile folder, but nothing helped.

Can it be a Firefox 33 bug? Thanks
