  Hi David

  Have you checked your settings to automatic selection in the upper left of the workspace?

  

• The ability to scroll when you use Firefox suddenly stopped but works ok in Internet Explorer, microsoft applications etc. Help please?

  The mouse driver is Synaptics but it works with all other applications and Internet Explorer, but abruptly stopped when using Firefox and all the tabs. Don't know why so can you help me?

  If it is a laptop, I've heard of vertical and horizontal scrolling in the touch-pad works in Firefox. Implement 'Mouse' in the control panel and see if you can fix, so just ideal go correct, but which is really pushing the luck. If you enable horizontal and clear vertical wonder what is going on in other applications.

  My driver only allows control of vertical scrolling along the right edge and does not scroll at the bottom I put out the great mouse pad and use a horizontal mouse.

• If you use Firefox, a popup box McAfee indicates that a program (Firefox) wants to access. Is it legitimate, or is it a fake?

  I use the Internet in McAfee security system. When you use Firefox, a pop-up dialog box appears indicating that a program on my PC is trying to accept incoming connections from the Internet. It indicates that the program is located in C:\program files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe to Firefox. Recommendation of the dialog is "unknown program." My choices are "always allow", "allow once", or "blocked". I can continue to do what I was doing on Firefox without clicking on one of the 3 choices, but the dialog box does not go far.

  I'm afraid to choose "always allow" as this never happened in the two years I'm using Firefox until I started having problems with my computer (virsuses) about a week ago. Please notify.

  If you think your computer has a virus on it, you shouldn't ignore the fact and switch to another browser.

  You must get the virus removed. The virus may record personal information.

  I would say that the guest you have received is a prompt genunine for Firefox. The location you said "c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe" is genunine for Firefox.

  You probably receive this prompt because Firefox has been updated about a week ago. Version 6.0.2 is out and your security this McAfee product identifies as a different program. Yes, it's always Firefox, but a newer version of Firefox and your McAfee program confirms just so you know it's been updated and is different from the way it was before.

  You are right to be wary of security prompts.

  The best way to check the application is the following.

  Open my computer and locate the file c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe

  Right-click on the Firefox.exe file, then select "Properties".

  You will see a tab named 'Digital Signatures '.

  Select this tab and ensure its says "Mozilla Corporation" and it has a timestamp of 3 September 2011.

  Assuming that - that's life and you can allow it without risk.

  It will be useful.

• 2-3 days after the expiry of my warranty of one year, my computer turns off suddenly during use. I rebooted, but it stopped again.

  2-3 days after the expiry of my warranty of one year, my computer turns off suddenly during use.  I rebooted, but it stopped again.

  The model is that the computer runs for 15-30 minutes, then suddenly stops, the system reboots, runs for 2-3 minutes, stops, restarts, spans less than a minute, stops, restarts, stop after a few seconds, etc., and at that time there I give until the next day when I repeat the same cycle all over.    I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit and it is a model of Dell Inspiron 518.  There is no error message but a beep at startup upward.  I ran Windows repair program 'Start' who did a restore without success.  The problem occurs even in Safe Mode.

  Does anyone have a guess as to what is the diagnosis?  Thank you.

• After a few minutes of use, Firefox becomes suddenly unable to access most of the sites.

  Firefox running on the latest version of Fedora, after a few minutes of use, Firefox becomes unable to access many Web sites. It seems to be limited to the Web sites I visit frequently, but it is difficult to say. It affects all sites, however. It also affects the same sites every time. Restart the browser fixes it, and that it will often resolve itself given sufficient time, also.

  I tried to clear my history and cookies, reset the browser and navigation without any active modules, but nothing seems to have an effect.

• WHY don't images suddenly appear or show in my gmail messages using Firefox 12.0 AND 13.0 but I can see the beautiful in IE9?

  WHY don't pictures suddenly not appear or display in my personal messages gmail using Firefox 12.0 AND 13.0 but I can see the beautiful in IE9? This isn't a problem with the images being seen on Web sites or in emails from various sites like Amazon, Bloomies, etc.. It is a problem with the images, copied and pasted while composing mail in GMAIL and the other Windows Live email accounts, etc. It started suddenly yesterday when I still had version 12.0 Firefox. (there may be a few days, but I hadn't been reading emails too for a few days due to time constraints). This morning I tried to find some fix for this by searhcing constantly through the web and through the forums of Firefox here. I checked my version of Firefox and also check for updates after about 2 hours of research from the forums without success and I was about to just get rid of Firefox 12 because some people were just that frustration with finding no solution, when suddenly, I got a message from Firefox 'urge' Update update me Firefox 13. It was AFTER I had just checked an hour earlier to see if there's an update! I did this update to version 13.0, BUT again, I do not receive emails containing images with these images posted (messages sent from my other e-mail account for myself and also e-mails to a friend - the two images containing). However, I can send and receive your same emails through IE9 in my gmail account and see all of the images of the FINE through IE9. What gives? I am so tired of what's going on. It happened before about a year or two ago, but I do not remember how it was corrected for ever. According to me, it has been resolved by a Firefox patch, and no action on our part. And these 4 + hours of work on that is just crazy. WHO has that kind of time to devote to fix these defects that occur every time updates of Firefox? I can not even find any mention of the same show. Now I'm seriously behind. You talk about time constraints! Anyone else having this problem? Someone at - he found a cure yet?

  Is he missing pictures then make sure you are not block images from certain domains.

  • Check the permissions for the domain in the active tab in "tools > Page Info > Permissions.
  • Check that the images are enabled: Tools > Options > content: [X] loading images automatically
  • Check exceptions in "tools > Options > content: Load Images > Exceptions.
  • See the tab "tools > Page Info > media ' for blocked images (scroll all the images with the cursor key).

  If an image in the list is grayed out and there is a check mark in the box "block Images of..." and remove this mark to unlock the images from this area.

  Make sure that you do not block the images of third parties, the pref permissions.default.images must be 1.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load

  There are also extensions (Tools > Modules > Extensions) and security software (firewall, antivirus) that can block images.

• Using Firefox 26: since the PBS site altered, receive "year error has occurred... Please check if private browsing is OFF" continuously - private browsing is turned OFF.

  Have used Firefox several years to view the videos at video.pbs.org. Impossible to say which came first: upgrade to Firefox 26 or PBS change their Web site but I can view is no longer any video to the ADDRESS: video.pbs.org.

By selecting the check box makes no difference in behavior. Dialog box continue reappear even if a video can be selected and will start to play until the dialog box appears. At this time, playback is suspended but resumed after to press 'OK '. Dialog box is displayed again about more than 4 seconds.

• After using Firefox it will not - I have to re-boot (OS = Vista Premium))

  I have Firefox version 25.0.1 and my OS is Vista Premium. My first use of Firefox works normally and correctly. However, after I used Firefox and closed the web page, if I try to go to another link, I get a message that Firefox is still open and recommend that I close Firefox or restart my computer.
  I'm unable to close Firefox and start Task Manager does not indicate that it is running. The only option that I found works is to re-boot the computer which is annoying.
  I deal with a lot of confidential activities related to maladministration issues so I much prefer to use Firefox which I consider to be more secure than most or all of the other programs for internet use.
  I was afraid that one option may be that I am being hacked? (I doubt than that, but it must be in sudden possible reasons for the strange behavior of Firefox) I think that I've updated Firefox a week ago, which has not erased the problem described. I'm on Firefox in anonymous mode using security for the given reason. I recently edited "Cause & Effect" part 4 on organophosphates which was distributed to the United Kingdom; U.S..; The Germany and the India who says that passengers and military crew, personnel and air don't receive the correct treatment for toxic poison. But it's not an advertisement: the publication is free of the British Library. But the victims are many and I want to be able to work effectively to prevent more unnecessary deaths.

  Hello

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

  (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
  • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

  

  Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

All my favorites are still there, but not the toolbar. I tried everything I know to try. I uninstalled and downloaded Firefox again and reinstalled. I have restarted my computer several times.
