• After reset my Firefox is no longer opens web pages automatically when I type keywords in the address bar. How can I fix it?

  Before I reset my Firefox I could any words in the address bar and Firefox would redirect me to the Web site. For example, typing ' reservoir dogs, imdb "would redirect to the film's IMDB page, and type a random sequence of characters would take me to (for example) a website of a company that uses these characters as an abbreviation of his name.

  I never put this option anywhere, it was just like that for quite a long time. Now, this possibility came to me and I can't seem to fix it.

  I use Mozilla Firefox 21 laters.

• Firefox extremely slow, not open web sites correctly. Especially in the last 24 hours.

  In the last 24 hours (from April 27), FF4.0 became incredibly slow, unable to open many sites completely or correctly (i.e., BBC NEWS, Twitter) or the opening of sites but not able to use fully (i.e. opens hotmail but did not open any new messages). This is not the case with Chrome or I.e. browsers seems to be specific FF.

  This is probably due to the WangWang (ww-plugin), you have installed. Disable it in Tools | Add ons | Plugins and then see troubleshooting issues with plugins like Flash or Java to solve problems of Firefox for instructions on how to uninstall it.

  Please also go to the Plugins check page and see if the version of Flash you have installed currently needs to be updated or not. I don't recognize the version you have installed.

  If the problem persists after the above troubleshooting steps, please try running Firefox in questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode. If it works properly in this configuration, then one of your modules is the culprit.

• (Web site) is now in full screen. Press ESC to exit. Very annoying!

  This message recently started appearing when I select fullscreen in Facebook and Flickr. It is great and very annoying. It does not appear when I use Safari, so I suspect that it is generated by Firefox. How can I disable this "feature"?
  I am currently using Firefox 15.01

  Thank you fixed it. There are a lot of options!

• Firefox will not load a Web site if the assets are missing from the page

  Some sites Web page can try to include a CSS or JS asset that is missing. In this case, Firefox 30 seems to hang and the page never loads. This happens even in Safe Mode. Other browsers have no problem loading these pages.

  I can give you two example URL, as well as the missing assets which causes the problem, but I don't know if I'm supposed to post links or not.

  Please do not take into account. After returning from safe mode, it offers to reset everything and import my data. Once the browser has been reset, well not loaded loading pages.

• Hi, after updating to Firefox v 10.0 I can no longer open Web sites by entering the address in the address bar. The site looks ok because it works in the Solution Explorer, what's the problem?

  I get the adresse_web in the toolbar, but Firefox does nothing, it just locks. It only opens Web sites when I choose one of the Favorites.

  This problem may be caused by an extension (possibly AVG Safe Search) which does not work properly.

  Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

  I've upgraded to the latest Firefox, but something prevents reading Web sites that I've updated. I already tried to uninstall and reinstall.

  At first, I thought it was a specific Web site, but I found that it is affecting my sites on a set path. Yet once, I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox. It doesn't seem to affect one of my other internet browsers.

  It would not be a problem, but most of the sites are demanding I upgraded and even disabling certain features until I do.

• How to open my home page in a new tab in firefox 13, as I had done for years?

  Since I've just updated to firefox 13, I can customize is no longer where a new tab opens with the 'new new tab page"feature. I got my new tab open to my homepage for years, this is how I am used to it, and it's frustrating that I've now spent so much time trying to get around this new "convenience". Just to clarify: I would like that my new tabs to open to my home page. not a white page and not frequently visited tab page.

  You can change it if you don't mind not peeking under the covers in Firefox about: config preferences editor.

  (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

  (2) in the filter box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

  (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter the desired value:

  (i) (default) Page thumbnails

  browser.newtab.url = about:newtab
  

  (ii) Virgin tab

  browser.newtab.url = about:blank
  

  (iii) integrated Firefox home page

  browser.newtab.url = about:home
  

  (iv) any other page

  browser.newtab.url = full URL to the page
  

  Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?
