Block a website using Firefox?
I want to block certain websites to prevent my children to have access to them because they contained porn and gambling
Firefox has no possibility of Embedment for blocking sites.
A few options for you.
- Install the add-on to FoxFilter, the disadvantage is that add-ons are fairly easy to get around - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/foxfilter/
- An another add-on that can filter content is the ProCon Latte Content Filter - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/procon-latte/
- Install a free parental control 3rd party as the K9 web protection - program http://www.k9webprotection.com/
- Use the OpenDNS service, there is a free version, and with it, you can filter the content on the categories that you choose - http://www.opendns.com/

I can't access some websites using Firefox. Pages say "File not found" or in the case of Yahoo and Facebook, they resemble the on-screen text files. No problems with my computer and it is not the case with my browsers IE and Chrome. Already deleted and reinstalled Firefox and it has not solved the problem
You can also do a check of malware with some digitization programs of malicious software on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
All of these programs have free versions.Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

Display a message to suggest opening a website using Firefox
Hello
I want to show a message (possibly with redirect) at the time of loading the home page, which suggests to use Firefox for a better display experience.
Something like that.You want to see lisanuna.com
in Firefox (recommended) YES - NO
Thank you!
I think you have your confused terms. Your home page is the site you've set up on your computer that is displayed when you open your browser. I assume you mean you want to this message on your website so that when visitors visit your website they have the option of using Firefox, correct?
If this is the case, that is too advanced for this forum, but there are other, forums of web developers that can help you with the display of a message (note that you can do is send users to download Firefox, cannot open a page in a different browser on your Web site). One such site is the Firefox Affiliates program, https://affiliates.mozilla.org

The new window is "http://block.policehunt.org/?id=d04201572567089f9b464bbb1b065531". It is said in very rough English that they recorded me have access to child pornography and in order to unlock my browser, I have to pay $300 through some point of payment. When I try to close the window, a pop-up asks you, "do you want to leave this page? IF you click Yes, it flashes and repeats the same pop-up over and over.
The English used in the message indicates it is clearly a fraud... it seems that maybe a virus, even if I have an internet virus scanner.
Any suggestions how to "selectively" delete this 'blocking' window without having to reset firefox entirely?
Go ahead and force close Firefox by using the Task Manager.
CTRL + Shift + Esc > process tab > select firefox.exe > 'End process' button
Then open the currently active settings Firefox folder by using the search box of the start menu to open this short address:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
If you see more than one folder, click on in the most recent. If there is only a single folder, click on in this.
Search for files beginning with sessionstore. Generally, you will find sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak. If Windows hides file extensions, you can view according to the method described in this article to support: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219.
Rename sessionstore.js to something like sessionstore_bad.js file, so that Firefox does not restore this last series of windows and tabs automatically.
Leave this window open, and then restart Firefox.
If you want to reopen some of the pages of the last session, you can use the tips in the following threads for 'mine' the sessionstore_bad.js file to extract the URL:
- Using the Console of Firefox browser (formerly Console error): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/969046#answer-471950
- Use Firefox developer tool 'Notepad': http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38 & t = 622036 & start = 60 & p = 12098147 #p12098147

I tried to use Firefox Hello to a conversation with my mother, who also uses Firefox. She could not get any sound, just the video image, despite the volume being defined properly controls. The microphone settings are correct, and in fact, I tried to call using two different computers but with the same result every time. I used successfully for a conversation with someone different. We all have two Windows 7 Professional v36.0 Firefox
My mother is able to listen to the audio tracks in websites using Firefox but I don't hear a thing in Hello, what makes all this seems quite strange.
Happy to say everything works now. Nothing has changed, so why it wasn't working the other day? One of life little mysteries but work he does, which is all that matters.

I can't use a website should I use with Firefox 5.0. So, I need to uninstall and go back to 3.5 or 3.6. Please notify. Also, my control panel blocks from Windows Explorer a PMP. That's why I use Firefox instead. Thanks for any help!
I thought it would be FAFSA is causing your problem.
Install Portable Firefox 3.6.x on your hard drive to a Web site. This will not affect any of your current Firefox installation.

I used to be able to accept or block all cookies manually... it seems that firefox offers more this option in tools-options-privacy. Is there a configuration that would allow this again? If not then I'm not going to use the browser firefox web... It is a deal breaker for me
- Tools > Options > privacy > Firefox will be: "Use the custom settings for history": Cookies: "Keep until the": "ask me every time".
- Press F10, or press the Alt key to bring up the 'Menu Bar' temporarily if the menu bar is hidden.
- Use "Firefox > Options" instead of "tools > Options" If the menu bar is hidden.

Why Firefox addons website cannot recognize that I use Firefox 5?
I was using Firefox 5 for a few months now, but since last week, the Firefox addons site recognizes as Firefox 5. For example, whenever I try to install the theme recently updated, a message saying that it is "Not available for Firefox 3.5.8" there. Even this page where I type my question now, when you say 'We made some assumptions about your browser and operating system', version of Firefox shows 3.5.8 and Vista operating system shows, but I use Win7. Why is this happening? Can you please help me?
You have or had an installed extension (MegaUpload toolbar |) NET_mmhpset) that changed the user agent.
You have a corrupted user agent which identifies you as Firefox/3.5.8
- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; RV:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100202 Firefox/3.5.8 3.0 MEGAUPLOAD

Whenever I use Firefox, I get a popup. It's extremely annoying.
I get a popup all the time when I use Firefox.

Why do I get a popup for a site my browser can not find? I have tried EVERYTHING I know to do. I cleaned my cookies, installed malware, and I've been on this site several times, trying everything that I think will help. Nothing has. I know, however, it happens on Firefox. He can't GET on explore or Chrome. If I can't solve this problem, I guess my only option is to use one of those instead.
Thank you for your question. Help Desk here and we are happy to help and collaborate. Please run the multiple security analysis to see if it makes a difference.
When I tried to visit the url it redirected to http://rcbullion.com/uni2.php is possible to use your add on block this site and activate the blocking of all the pop ups in Firefox > Options/Preferences > content > "block pop ups".
Can you please also try a SafeMode to see if it is in fact a complement on the cause of problems to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode
[Pronoun] can investigate further with the result of these troubleshooting steps, thanks!

Mozilla site thinks I'm using Firefox 33
Website of Mozilla it always tells me that I use an older version of Firefox. Whenever I discover an add-on, the install button is dimmed and he says "not compatible with Firefox 33" red. This despite the fact that I use Firefox 42, that is, the latest x 64 stable version downloaded directly from Mozilla. What happens here and how fix?
You have a masking the installed extension agent that changes the user agent:
- User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (agent masking; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101
I see that at least six ask you questions before you have this modified user agent.
- [996976/questions/996976]
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (agent masking; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 - [978575/questions/978575]
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (agent masking; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0
Fact this never caused a problem before?
You will need to make sure that you have the correct user agent.Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox, Tools/menu key > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.
- Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox, Tools/menu key > Modules > appearance
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

Why is facebook knows my location based on my login information using firefox?
I don't normally log my FB account, but I recently made using Firefox. I received a notification that I had connected using firefox and also there was my location. -What happened? Is it a setting on Firefox (which I can't find) or is my place revealed through the servers of my ISP and actually has nothing to do with Firefox? It's my best guess, but I'm not really sure.
Hi khum, yes - websites can guess your approximate location based on your ip address which is sent with each request (which is required to route traffic to the right place in the network):
http://www.YouGetSignal.com/tools/network-location/
Unfortunately, there is not much we can do against that, except am trying to use a vpn, proxy or something service like the Pack of navigation tor to hide your 'real' while browsing IP.
