• I've updated to Firefox and now get the unwanted pop ups and redirections that wasn't a problem before.

  The pop ups were not on the old system and seems attached to some site I open, opening multi-site. I might have to stop usingFfirefox, if this is not fixed.

  Hello jgibbs99, you could get deceived by a malicious Web site by downloading a fake update - a true firefox update will contain never this kind of noise you describe! Furthermore updates are managed in-house by firefox if you are asked to download and run a .exe file to update to firefox, it will be false (you can manually check the updates in firefox by going to firefox > help > about firefox).

  Please, try the following steps:

  1. Reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
  2. then go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or of potentially unwanted software there (sort the programs installed for their installation date to see what he got recently installed).
  3. Finally, run a full scan of your system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

  One possible cause is security software (firewall, antivirus) that prevents or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

• Cannot create disks C and D for the programs and data on HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl with 1 TB HD

  Just bought new HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl Entertainment Notebook - 1 TB HD (it's good).

  Bad news is that there are FOUR partitions (C, SYSTEM, RECOVERY, TOOLS HP) with the C-drive with 904 GB.   If I understand correctly, you cannot shrink C and create a 5th partition for data.  It seems that you cannot have more than four partitions...

  (quote from sevenforums.com: ' you already have 4 primary partitions - you can't have more. ") If you try to make another c: partition using disk management, you will turn your (entire) disk into a dynamic disk. You don't want to do that! »

  HP experts: Is it true? I can't shrink C and create a disk for data D?  Can I combine one or more of your three auxiliary drives (SYSTEM, RECOVERY, TOOLS HP) and a disk for data D?

  I've always heard that it was not a good idea to combine all, Windows programs, system etc all in the same giant partition with lots of photos, songs, financial data, Word files, etc etc.

  Please notify.

  I have a 1 TB hard drive and use the main C for all files. I use images software to make my own custom recovery solution, having 1 large partition makes it simpler. Custom recovery options

  However, your question is how to have another partition. Daniel made a Guide on everything this HERE

• Hello. I installed the latest update of Firefox and when I start a new tab page displays not now my entry from google line.please help.tks

  Hello. I installed the latest update of Firefox and when I start a new tab page displays not now my google input line. I use Windows 10. Until the recent update (v4.1.01) each time I started a new tab the new page would show the google search entry line which is my default. Can help you to restore this feature? TKS

  Hi, 41 of Firefox, you must use the add-on tab override (browser.newtab.url replacement), to make changes to the page tab.

  Once installed, open the Add-ons (Ctrl + Shift + A) Manager > Extensions, and then look for the new tab override and click Options to set your preference.

  Notice, if you want only the new tab to be the same as your home page, you can use the Add on new tab homepage instead.

  You will then need to restart Firefox for all changes to take effect.

  If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

• Downloaded the update for Firefox, and now I can't get rid of AOL.

  Downloaded the update for Firefox, and now I can't get rid of AOL. I tried to remove anything that is related to AOL and when restart Firefox... There are once again AOL. I even reinstalled Firefox... He was there again.

  Where AOL is displayed - homepage?

  I think the first thing to check is if you have any modules related to AOL. These can replace your regular settings. You can view and disable all extensions essential or unknown here:

  Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Extensions category

  Note that in most cases, you should use the link to restart Firefox to actually disable the extension that you have chosen to disable.

  Then, to fix your homepage, try the procedure described in this article: How to set the home page.

  If there is a problem with your suppliers of research from Google for AOL, try this extension:

• Update of Firefox, and now all of the web pages and icons are inflated. How do I put back it as it was?

  Update of Firefox, and now all of the web pages and icons are inflated. How do I put back it as it was?

  Hello

  Firefox on Windows is now after display, scaling options that can make the biggest text on screens at high resolution.
  You can adjust the resolution of your screen.
  To change it follow these steps:

  • Type of topic: config in the Firefox address bar and hit the Enter key.
  • If the warning that this might void your warranty , click I'll be careful, I promised.
  • Search for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx

  

  • Double-click layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to edit its value. The default value is - 1.0 in Firefox 22 and above. Change it to 1.0 to run as in previous versions of Firefox.

  If necessary, further adjust the value of 0.1 or 0.05. Values between 1.0 and around 0.5 to reduce the size of the elements. Use a value greater than 1.0 to increase the size. For example, a value of 1.25 will increase the font size of the 125% to account for the default DPI setting in Windows 8. Check the value that you enter. Definition of a value that is too small will take everything away and too high will explode things.

  If the web pages should always be adjusted so you can watch the extension Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint .

  To adjust the font size for the user interface, you can use the extension of theme font & size changer .

• A site that I use regularly has buttons that I can use to navigate - but 1 has disappeared since the last update of FireFox - and I can't use it.

  For 2 years, I use a site that I order my products through. One of the buttons is my account, the other is the catalog (many others besides these - but these are the ones I use frequently).

  After the latest update of FireFox (3.6.15)-, the 'catalog' button has suddenly disappeared. I thought it was a problem with the website of the company, but when you can access my account (using an older version of FireFox) - the button catalogue presented themselves.

  I tried to clear my cache and restart firefox - several times. No dice. Unable to get him back.

  I have screenshots to show the problem - with my computer and my computer suppliers.

  We operate Windows 7

  I have this problem a lot - just selection boxes do not appear in FF, but they appear in fine opera. It is of a workaround, we need the fix a problem.

  You will not be able to move the files to the C: drive on another drive Windows. All Windows files must be in the C: drive.
