• Firefox doesn't remember the settings of the browser.

  Every time I open firefox I reconfigure my preferences (homepage, internet history settings). This only happens when I close all firefox windows and tabs and then reopen firefox. My home page is my igoogle page. When I reopen it firefox it take me to the login page General igoogle. Once I configured to never remember history of the internet then close firefox and reopen the Web history settings go to "use custom settings. I tried everything on https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Preferences%20are%20not%20saved without success. There is no user.js file in my profile folder. I ran my antivirus, antimalware, and antispyware programs, McAfee, MalWareBytes, SpybotSearch & Destroy (which are updated) and they are. I also uninstalled firefox and reinstalled without success. It is frustrating increibly. Help, please!

  If you have Firefox put forever history remember it will not record your password for iGoogle (it's like using the incognito Private Browsing - use Firefox without saving history). So in this case Firefox isn't a bad thing. You want to register not history? In this case, you must either change your settings to remove just the history cache with pages, or simply log into iGoogle each time.

• File save/open Photoshop CS6 problem

  A couple of weeks ago, I had a completely new hard drive put in my Mac laptop (mid-2012, 13 inches, El Capitan 10.11.5 running). I opened my CS6 today and found that when I tried to open or save files I'm done with this screen appearance.

  

  I left, made sure my Photoshop was fully updated, made sure my Mac has been completely updated, but he continued to show this screen.

  Went and did some around reading on the internet, says to check the GPU has been clicked on Preferences < Performance but is greyed out

  

  Now, I'm more an artist than a tech assistant, so I'm a little lost as what to try next. Could be a problem caused by the work done on the new hard drive? I can't really send my laptop to the shop for the next month or so because I have exams so is there anything else I can try to get this system still play ball.

  Any help appreciated.

  So it seems that the answer to this question is leave it a few days and it will fix itself... either that or he had a sort of task on the last update...

• Firefox doesn't ' see css files, other browsers do not recognize css files. Please, help me.

  I created the website. There are currently on the level of development. the link is http://snazhmudinov.byethost7.com/

  If you open it with chrome, safari and ie, it works fine. But when I started using Mozilla and Opera, they simply don't see css files.
  Thank you in advance!

  Hello, your source code specifies the path to the files in stylesheet like this styles\page.css instead of/styles page.css. Apparently, some browsers are less tolerant to these mistakes than others...

• Firefox doesn't remember "user names". In addition, Firefox does not remember dashboard settings IE. Toolbars, etc. How can I fix this.

  Nightly Firefox pours his memory of the names of users and toolbars.

  Sounds you have cleaning software running which removes cookies and possibly other profile data.

  The Bank Web site may use autocomplete = off to prevent Firefox to save and fill in the name and the password.
  You can remove autocomplete = off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox ask to record the name and the password.

• My Firefox 9.2.1 won't save opening session ID and passwords

  My wife and I have five Yahoo e-mail accounts between us and we only use the Firefox browser. We used to get the journal-om identifiers and passwords saved in Firefox, and we did not have to return to our login info. Now, every time we logout of Firefox, please enter the ID and password each time. Is it a question of Yahoo Mail or Firefox?

  Thank you

• Firefox does not remember any history, even if the setting is "remember history". How can fix this?

  I do not use private browsing and the setting ist "remember history", but Firefox doesn't remember the stories. What can I do to let Firefox remember history again?

  One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

• When I select "keep without history", firefox will restart but does not save it.

  I use the french version so maybe that some translations are not correct. what I'm trying to do is to forefow delete or simply not save history after that I go to a page. It is said that firefow must restart to save the change, I agree, and when it restarts, nothing is recorded. I also tried to say not "restart" with no effect different however it should work, but as explained, this isn't. I can also change the page that opens when I run firefox for the same reasons: I save 'open a blank page', say ok, the option page closes, but when nothing opened changed again.

  Hello

  Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

  Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
  3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
     • Windows:
       • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
       • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
     • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
     • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
     1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
     2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

  More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

  WARNING: Uninstaller or the use of Firefox and not run a third remover as part of this process, because who could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. These can be recovered, unless they have been backed up on an external device!

  Please report back to see if this helped you!

  Thank you.

  User Agent

  Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; INTERNET EXPLORER 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; AntivirXP08; GTB6.3; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; MS - RTC LM 8)

  When you click on the download link on GetFirefox.com, you should be asked if you want to run or save the file. If this situation occurs when you try to run the download, try instead to record and put the file on your desktop or in a similar place, where you are certain that you can find.

  When the download is complete, try double-clicking on the downloaded file in the normal Windows Explorer (browse your way to the file from the desktop). This should start the installation.

  If, in the Explorer window, you notice that the file seems to be missing the Firefox icon orange/blue, right click the file and select Properties. The image should look like the attached picture (except that mine is in Danish, but that is irrelevant) if saved correctly - if it don't look like this, would you please describe the content or attach a screenshot of the box. Especially what it says under "File Type" - it must be 'program '. If this isn't the case, will have to focus on what could be the problem here.

  A bit off-topic, your Internet Explorer seems to be quite a bit outdated (IE 6, where the current version is IE 8), so I highly recommend that you try to run Windows Update to get your system up to date. Is it as a society (such as a thin client Terminal Server computer) system, this is not possible, and most likely, your system administrator will have to help you.

I tried to print several emails & he went to 'file save' every time. So, I tried to save the file.

• Local MP4 files always open with Firefox's built-in video player

  I believe before Firefox 35, I was able to open the local links to mp4 files and Firefox would ask me what to do (open, save, etc.). Local links to files mp4 always open in the embedded video player on Firefox with no option to do otherwise. I tried setting "media.windows - media - foundation.enabled' to 'false' and it has no effect on the local links to files mp4." All the other common video formats, I've tested (avi, mpg, wmv) ask me what for, as this is the expected behavior.

  To reproduce:

  1.) enter URL: file:///path/to/video.mp4
  2.) observes that the file opens in the video player built-in with no option to do otherwise

  Hello, please put media.windows - media - foundation.enabled to his default preference and try to activate media.play - stand alone false instead.

• PDF save open file

  Since firefox recently updated, .pdf files when clicked, either on the web or e-mail opens a box that says save file or open the file. Firefox updated and it does ask me again, just immediately try to download. I do not use any .pdf add on via Firefox, I tried one today, but it does not always help. Y at - it a way to turn this base without an add-on feature. He never needed before.

  Thank you.

  Hi Matt, sometimes the application's preferences end up with multiple entries, some under 'Adobe Acrobat... "and the other under" Portable Document Format (PDF).

  If you have fiddled with all those who, without success, the settings file that stores these associations may has been corrupted. You can rename or delete and have Firefox regenerate. Here's how:

  Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using

  Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.

  Leave this window open, activate any Firefox window and quit the program (for example, the file menu > exit or Firefox menu > Exit)

  Pause while Firefox finishing his cleaning, then rename the mimeTypes.rdf to something like mimeTypes.old

  Restart Firefox. Your likely PDF preferences will be reset to the internal PDF Viewer, but you can always turn on 'ask '.

  Any improvement?
