I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Hello,

   We have been using Outlook Web Access 2010 within our organization for a few months now, and have been using firefox to do so. With the latest Firefox 8 update, it seems that certain attachments download as "attachment.ashx". Yes, I said ASHX not ASPX. My research tells me that ashx files have to do with the .NET Framework. It seems that this is only occurring since we downloaded Firefox 8.

   Yes, changing the file extension allows us to open the files, and we can set a program to handle the file extension, but that would only apply when the ashx extension is only affecting one file type, but it seems to happen for more than 1 document type. I have experienced this issue with .pdf, .doc, .xls, .docx and .xlsx.

   Any ideas as to what would be causing this as of the latest update?

Having two tabs open, memory rises slowlyall by itself, to where the main process is using almost 2.2GB and the plugin containers are taking up about another 1.2GB by themselves. CLosing Firefox didn't help. I had to go to task managed and End Process...I've got 4GB RAM and an intel Core 2 Duo CPU. Yes, everything is updated...

What's up with this? Please Mozilla, make FF awesome again!

Hello. I have Firefox 8 and some pages have weird square favicon, because they haven't their own. For example: http://www.metro.sk/public/76866 Can you fix it? Thanks.

When i log into my googlemaps account and want to add my own icons to the map, they do not appear anymore when i use firefox. It looks like there is a broken GIF error on the maps and then nothing shows up. I have tried IE and Chrome on the same computer and it works fine. Would love to have my firefox back though. Please let me know if you can help with this issue. It seems to have started late afternoon last Thursday.

the browser is started home page loads up. but if I request to go to a web page it shows that the request is asking for my request in the new tab but it just sits there. If I go to the address HTTP bar and hit enter again I usually get the info right away

About a third of the bookmarks in my bookmarks tool bar has lost their icons. it is replaced by an empty checked border square placeholder.

- 11-12-11 update - Seems like the issue is the new blank favicon image used.  A check of some screen shots from old work, shows the ones I can see were in fact empty then also.

I was using ff7.0 and hit the check for updates button and ended up with v8.0 beta.I am not a big fan of beta versions and even though 8.0 appears to be running OK,I am thinking of removing it and reverting back to v7.0.How would I removed 8.0?With add/remove programs?Would using add/remove bring me back to 7.0? Thanks for any help

I'm trying to access a banking site to login to my online account. I get a pop-up window that says I must have javascript enabled. I check my Firefox preferences and javascript is already enabled. I was not having this problem with the Firefox release before Firefox 8.0. I think the problem may be in release 8.0.

I recently got a new computer and upgraded to Firefox 8. Now, when I save an image from a website, Firefox will "remember" and, the next time I save an image, open a random folder that I saved an image in last time I was on that site, and choose to save it there. This wouldn't be a problem if, 1) it wasn't a random folder out of the several I save into, and 2), if I have to cancel out of an image for any reason, the next time I go to save (seconds later, without refreshing/leaving a page), it will have chosen another random folder for me to save in and I'm misplacing my files.

I'd like to return Firefox to the previous image saving habits, where I have to choose the folder each time, and it doesn't "remember" anything that I've done, as it is only causing headaches.

The address bar does not show the current tabs FULL URL. I have tried the Trim URL trick to no avail. It is also disheartening that there is no COPY LINK option in the file menu. I need to be able to see the full URL and be able to copy it for a host of reasons. Would also be nice to make sure that I am on an HTTPS page and not have to guess. Take a look at this website and see that no matter what page you go to, the URL stays the same.

Really would like to know the reason that FF took it out of the mix, what is the problem or issue or was it just someone's idea of a cute piece of code?

It could be a coincidence but when I upgraded to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.262 I can't seem to play any games on Yahoo Messenger with my friends. I know when I updated for some reason I had to try 3 times before it took it. It shows it's updated. I'm wondering if I have to un-install and re-install it. Also, I never use Internet Explorer 8 but when I went in there to check I found a plug in check link there and it showed over there that Adobe Flash Player needed updating but it was an older version and not the one Foxfire had me update too. Now I'm really confused if this is causing a problem. I have never had to check Internet Explorer for plug ins before. Have always just updated in Foxfire since that's what I use. The Adobe Flash Player seems to play videos okay so not really sure if that's the issue or not. My Java plug-ins have been fine and have been updated awhile ago, so I know it's not that. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Although I set all the installed addons "enable", whenever I start-up the PC, Firefox disables all the things, ask again and force me to manually enable them one by one! Actually it doesn't remember my setting for addon!

I have many Google Maps on my website and they contain both default Google icons and my own icons, each with their own URLs. They work correctly in all other browsers, and Firefox 7. However, yesterday I loaded Firefox 8. In Firefox 8 the Google default icons are still visible but my own icons are now invisible, but their placeholders are still there. They are still visible in other browsers. Also, if I now try and add one of my icons to a map, the process seems to work correctly, including a placemark name appearing, but the icon is invisible. The invisible icon is definitely there because you can click the placemark and be taken to the correct position on the map for editing, but the icon is not visible.

I've been using Firefox for many months to access my work email using Outlook Web Access (OWA). Clicking on an attachment always resulted in the file being downloaded intact (mostly pdfs and Word docs). Suddenly yesterday all file types result in the download of "attachment.ashx". I had not changed anything in Firefox. I restarted Ff and then my computer without effect. I then deleted and reinstalled Ff -- no change. Now in the applications window pdfs and docs aren't listed, but I can't get them in there anyway because they don't download as such. I am using Ff 8.0 on MacOS 10.6.8.

I've got a problem with the MySpace audio player. When I'm trying to listen to a song, there is a message popping up saying that the Flash cannot be played, it suggests me to refresh/restart browser or upgrade flash . But I'm already using this version of flash and I've got the latest FF. p.s.: IE had no problems.

I set my home page to "www.yahoo.ca". When I click 'home' it goes to yahoo.ca which is what I want..But..if I close firefox and reopen, it goes to http://rogers.my.yahoo.com/?_bc=1, which is not what I set up for my home page. When I click 'tool', 'options', 'general' this always comes up http://www.rogers.com/smartkey as 'show my home page'. Doesn't matter how many time I change my home page to www.yahoo.ca it still comes up as www.rogers.com/smartkey.

I would appreciate a reply notice to this to my e-mail if possible to inouh82cme@rogers.com

Here's a strange problem. I always use Firefox, but of course, still have MSIE on my system. Today, 3 seconds after I log in to my hotmail account, the screen immediately switches itself to espn.go.com without any prompting from me (no clicks by me or mouse movement.) Thought it might be a hotmail problem (like it was hacked), but I don't experience this with MSIE, just Firefox. I ran a couple of deep cleaning virus/malware utilities, then rebooted and tried again. Same problem. Is it a Firefox hack? Anyone have any insight? I use Firefox 8.0.1 and haven't upgraded (don't really want to...actually want to go backwards so that certain add ons will work.)

I opened Firefox after a restart and it suddenly crashed (didn't even create a crash report). When I reopened it again, it brought me up to the Restore Session error page and I click Restore. Unfortunately, it did not restore all my windows and tabs and I was missing three windows with tabs. I tried to bring the Restore Session error page and it was empty.

Luckily, I was able to recover an earlier version of sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak. However, when I copied them to the profile folder, it just opens one window of my home page. I am not sure what is going on here. Could someone (Firefox Tech Support) please look at these files to see what is going on? I really need those three windows!

Thank you for your time,

I am using Firefox 8 in a Mac OSX Lion version. Just a few hours ago, I updated Adobe Flash and from that moment, youtube videos won't show up in FF. I get a black screen instead of the video. Doesn't happen in Safari though, where videos are shown perfectly. That's why I assumed it has something to do with FF. Anybody else? Any help? Thanks in advance!
