• Firefox won't download files - open new page and just stop whenclicking on the icon to download or address.

  Suddenly, Firefox download a file from a URL or clickable icon. This seemed occur after installation of HideMyAss. When I click on a download address, or an icon, the page changes, (as opposed to simply from the download) is trying to load (status bar goes to halfway) and then nothing, it just sits there. If I try to download a torrent file, the same thing happens, even if I can download it using option + click. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Doug

  Hello

  Maybe you can disable HideMyAss to see if this is the cause of the problem you are having?

  Hello

  You have discovered a problem with Windows 7. To resolve this problem, I recommend a program called FileMenu Tools. You can download the portable freeware from here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/System/System-Enhancements/FileMenu-Tools-Portable.shtml .

  After having downloaded and installed the program, you will notice that, by default, each option is checked. I would be much more selective on this subject, otherwise your context menu will be a full page long! When the main window opens, you will see a list on the right side of all the elements that can be added to the context menu. Start weeding through the list and every one to take away, you don't need the United Nationsby checking the box.

  Once you have completed your selection (de-selections) make sure that you click the green check mark in the row of icons at the top of the left window of the interface to 'Apply' of your choice. The program can do much more, but that answers your specific question. I am told that the program has a good help file, so try here if you are interested.

  Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

  Kind regards

• The back button brings back me to the top of the previous page instead of the place in the previous page, where I was before. How does it evolve?

  On a list as Craiglists which has 100s of lists on a page, you click on the link to access the item description page, after the ad, I then click on the back button & instead of back to where I was on the previous page, I went back to the top of the page. It's a lot of time, because I then locate the list I was before so I can continue my review of the list of others.

  Maybe it's a problem of compatibility add-on or extension.
  I had the same problem and I seem to have solved by uninstalling APTURE HIGHLIGHTS 1.6. following the standard diagnostic test not more white flashes and now my scroll position is known.
  It also cleared up a bad freeze/hang up, I had after waking from sleep/hibernate.

• How to make the homepage to appear when opening new tab

  Under Firefox 40.x whenever I opened a new tab, my home page appeared. When I upgraded to 41.0, opening a new tab displays the suggested sites. How do I have my home page appear whenever I open a new tab?

  41 of Firefox is no longer uses the browser.newtab.url setting in about: config because he was constantly attacked by malware. From 41 of Firefox, you need an add-on to change the new tab page.

  Here are a few options (I'm learning more all the time):

  • If you are already using Classic theme restaurant: There is an option somewhere (!) in his dialogues of the parameters to select another page in the new tab.
  • If you want to use your new tab homepage: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
  • If you want to set another page or a completely blank page: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/

  Setting up substitute again tab

  After installing this extension, you must use the Options page to set the new desired tab page (instead of use subject: config).

  Open the page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a (Mac: Cmd + shift + a)
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the side right, find the new tab override and click the Options button. (See first screenshot attached).

  Depending on the size of your screen, you may need to scroll down to enter the address in the form. (See second screenshot attached). For example:

  • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
  • Blank tab = > subject: empty
  • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
  • Any other page = > full URL of the page

  Then tab or click this form field and you can test using Ctrl + t.

  Success?

  Once you have set it as you wish, you can close the Add-ons page (or use the back button to return to the list of Extensions of this Options page).

• How to reboot can I configure Firefox to re - automatically load the tabs I had open when I stopped?

  Every morning when I do a soft start to clear the cobwebs out of my brain of the PC I have my boot settings automatically load 6 apps. Firefox is a. Then I go on a toolbar start tab and click Open all tabs and it loads 4 tabs for me.

  I am trying to automate the loading of the tabs

  I use Firefox 4.0. The previous version was a function that was asked, when you closed Firefox, if you wanted the tabs you have open at that time to arrange the next time you open Firefox.

  It's kind of way to jack-leg to get the tabs open on the re-start, although it was still irritation...

  This issue does not seem has happened in 4.0.

  Is there a setting to always call the question?

  Better yet, is there a setting to always have the tabs / a group of tabs always open at startup?

  Example-in my case I load Vonage Sharefile, then 2 home page tabs.

  This allows me to keep my poor brain organized during the day because I'm multitasking in Firefox and other applications, and telephone and other.

  I thank in advance.

  One of the changes in Firefox 4: by default Firefox 4 does not display the warning "Save tabs and exit" then to the closure of several tabs, but it can be turned on again by changing some preferences.

  • Record of the tabs was not removed from Firefox 4, but it works a little differently.
    • By default, Firefox 4 will not ask to save tabs, but instead it will always save your tabs in the output. You can restore the next time by selecting "Restore previous Session" in the history menu, or by pressing the button restore Firefox's default homepage.

  To display the message "save tabs and exit" when closing multiple tabs, you can do the following:

  1. Type of topic: config in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key
  2. Accept the warning message (promise to be careful)
  3. Open the preferences/list page
  4. Filter = browser.tabs.warnOnClose
