  For later use, it happened because your fields have the same field name, and fields with the same name automatically have the same value.

  So all you had to do was so each had a unique name and it would have worked, but using the command create several fields is preferable because it renames the fields for rename you them.

• When I activate a plugin in Firefox 4 disable Word appears next to the name of software plugin. How can I stop this from happening?

  I use Win 7 and just upgraded to Firefox 4. In my plugin section, when I activate a program, the word disabled immediately appears next to the program name. This happens to every program plugin I have.
  So, when I use Firefox and the need for a plugin is necessary, I received a message telling me that this program is disabled even if the word activate will still appear on the plugin line. I never had this problem in one of the Firefox 3 browsers. How can I fix this problem?

  It could be that the plugin you are trying activate is not compatible with Firefox 4 and leaves people with reduced mobility.

  If a plugin is disabled, it will have the word "enable" next to him; There is a button for you to click to activate the plugin, and not a label describing the status of plugin.

  If I've got it completely wrong, please post a screenshot.

• Whenever I try to open a pdf file in firefox, he asks me to activate adobe acrobat. How can I stop this from happening?

  I have activate acrobat, but it happens always next time I need to open a pdf file. The same problem occurs when I use a quicktime file. I can down down I would allow me every time but one time, next time, I want to use, see, or hear a quicktime file I get the same question. It's very annoying. I went into options and chose the file to use to open rather than have me ask but it does not solve the problem either.

• When I open the Firefox browser, it evokes a video advertising - how can I stop that from happening?

  The video is a video of Firefox. I can send a screen capture.

  The best way to get around that is just set your own homepage.
  See - How to set the home page

  Many of us have disabled the changes made to the top [brandLogo part] of the Firefox Start Page, so that we do not see this 'trick '.

  If you feel adventurous, here's how to 'fix '.
  Type of topic: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Accept the message of 'dragons' to see the Advanced preferences screen. Use the search box at the top to enter the below pref.

  You can assign an empty string to stop your Firefox to retrieve "extracts" and brandLogo changes the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref. Right-click this pref and select Edit then clear the value as pref in the box that appears, and then click OK. Who will also disable "snippets" that appear under the container of the research on the default home page.

  Then you must open the folder of your profile, via help > Troubleshooting Information > profile folder > > folder view button. Then close Firefox.
  Your profile file open with Firefox closed (Firefox '3-bar' menu key > exit/Quit), wait two minutes, then remove the storage\moz-safe-about + House folder in the profile folder of Firefox to remove the brandLogo and stored in IndexedDB code snippets to make Firefox use the default brandLogo and a defined default code snippet.

  If you later change your mind about these changes, you can reset the pref browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl via the context menu and Reset to retrieve the default to start to use the storage\moz-chest-fort-about + House record once again.

• Hello, I downloaded the beta version in English, but when it is installed, it is in French. How can I change this?

  I'm working on an admistrated of the station by a french helpdesk and this drug is defined in French (and this is very annoying for me). So I'm wonderding how FF 4 beta is transformed into same French version so I downloaded the English version.

  All that is on the French I guess you mean that the user interface is in French. I think that could have happened was the download page of picked up some settings on your computer and downloaded French the French version for you. All versions of Firefox are unilingual.

  Try to re - download the http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html installation file

  Using this page you can make sure get you the language version you want.
