  User Agent

  Hello Beth.

  I must inform you that (as directed by your user agent string), you use Internet Explorer 8 for the moment, not Firefox. I hope that you are aware of this.

  On the toolbar, you sure it's the download which is the problem and not the installation? The toolbar may be browser specific (for example, it can work only on Internet Explorer), so if it is the facility that gives you trouble, you should contact the author of the toolbar for support.

  If it is the download that is problematic, you can have a problem with an extension or plugin that is an obstacle to the normal behavior of your Firefox. Have you tried to disable all add-ons (just to see) to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

• Loading the Google's HTTPS version causes Firefox to do 3 background request every 45 seconds even after closing the page.

  Loading the Google's HTTPS version causes Firefox to do 3 background request every 45 seconds even after closing the page.
  With any other HTTPS sites that support HTTP Strict Transport Security (HST), I noticed connection only 1 history.
  How can I disable these background connections?

  Hello, I'm no expert on the matter, but it is quite possible that the spdy Protocol, which is used by google on its secure sites (twitter atm) and is causing the behavior that you have seen.

  "SPDY connections are persistent connections. For optimal performance, it is expected that clients will not close the open connections until the user navigates away from all web pages referring to a connection, or until the server closes the connection. Servers are encouraged from the connections open as long as possible, but can stop idle connections if necessary. »
  http://mbelshe.github.com/SPDY-specification/draft-mbelshe-SPDY-00.XML#RFC.section.2.1

  You can try to disable support for the spdy Protocol in firefox (in all: config) and see if that changes the number and length of connections to the server.

• Flash does not. I downloaded the new version of Flash. However, it does not work with Firefox. We continue to request to download the new version of Flash. I have no problem with IE, Chrome or Safari. What should do?

  On several occasions, I have installed the new Flash Player. However, when the use of Firefox continues to ask Web sites (e.g. maps.google.com, etc.) to download the new Flash Player. I did so completely and repeatedly and restarted.

  I don't have this problem with other browsers.

  There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash; an ActiveX version for IE only and a plug-in version for most of the other browsers like Firefox. On a Windows system, you must always update both individually. You don't have the Plugin version installed for Firefox, if you did, you will see "Shockwave Flash" in the Add-ons > Plugins.

  1. With Firefox, click the direct download link below and SAVE the download on your desktop, so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
  2. When the download is complete, close Firefox (file > button OR exit Firefox > exit)
  3. Click or double-click the file that you just saved on your desktop
     • In the install window that appears, select the check box to the left of "I read and...» "to place a check mark in the box of

• I use Firefox 31.0, but Mozilla even says that I use an older version.

  I always upgrade to the latest version. Even if I use 31.0 right now, I checked with Mozilla site last night and were made of 'upgrade' again. I did it. Today, now that writing a message in a green button tells me to upgrade. I use Malwarebytes Anti Malware Pro, so I think that's not the problem. I use Yahoo! mail and this has not stopped the new version and only allows me to use Basic. Ad - ons to Firefox grayed out everything that cannot be used with version 10 or greater. Yet "On Firefox" in the menu help watch 31.0 version, latest version.
  So, am I stuck with some old cookie that won't erase? I tried to delete them all and that doesn't change anything, although I'm not sure I know that each location where they are stored. The key is that it is a real pain in the ass, because I am limited on other sites as well, because something says I don't have the latest version. Can anyone help?

  Did you remove the information from browser ("user agent string") of your post? To see how your Firefox is that identified Web sites, you can use my page of test here: https://www.jeffersonscher.com/res/jstest.php

  If a specific version is listed, you may experience the problem described in this article: sites say that Firefox is obsolete or incompatible, even if it's the latest version.

  If the user agent shows it is hidden or partially blocked, or if it is completely absent, you have an extension that modifies or software security/privacy external blocking.

• Impossible to download files in Firefox, using flash uploader. Already reinstalled flash, works well in Chrome.

• Firefox uses the page host internet explorer after restarting the PC, even if I change again, it passes every time

  I use a laptop for my work. I have internet explore what is necessary for our things work related and internet intranet explore uses the intranet homepage of our work. I also use firefox and want to use a different home page (IE Bing, google, whatever...). So things work related I use IE, for web browsing of non-working, I use firefox. Recently whenever I reboot my PC and launch firefox, firefox uses my Explorer (working on the intranet) home page internet. I then easily reset on my preference (bing.com) and as long as the PC is on, if I close and Open firefox it keeps bing.com as my home page. I could do this 20 x and it will keep the bing.com homepage. However when I shut down and restart the PC, firefox goes back to the use of the IE homepage (on the intranet of the work). Is there a permanent way to fix this. Our IT Department has been no help. Started a week before what is happening they upgraded our computers to internet explore 11. I tried to reset Firefox but that does not solve the problem.

  Hi hunted, something is change or replace your prefs.js file.

  Maybe you can thwart it by creating a user.js file. This file is read at startup of Firefox and replace prefs.js. Basically, it only needs a single line, if you could open prefs.js in a text editor after you have corrected to the homepage preference, use Save as to create user.js and then remove all the lines and save/close.

  More information on user.js: http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file

• What is the difference between the cookies keep until I close firefox and the history of cookie empty closing firefox?

  In the settings of Firefox 33.0 (I use Ubuntu 14.04, but the functionality is the same for Windows 7) there are two ways to delete cookies when firefox closes. Or at least, there seems to be.

  Is first the cookies keep until firefox is closed

  Second is to check the box for clear history of firefox closing and in the settings check cookies.

  What is the difference between these two options?

  I usually have two configuration but I noticed that a connection was not save for td canada trust EasyWeb, even though I have an exception set for it. Now I unchecked to remove cookies by disabling the history on close and connection records correctly.

  This connection allows to save 7 cookes under easyweb.td.com and 10 cookies under td.com and I have exceptions defined for both. If I clear the history when closing and include cookies, half of the td.com cookies disappeared when I close firefox and re - open. The same is true if I'm not the exception.

  So currently I can't find a way to keep all cookies if I clear the cookie history when firefox closes. What is the difference with this option?

  When you change the default cookie 'to life' of "keep until: they expire" to "keep until the: I close Firefox", Firefox changes all persistent cookies that sites set session cookies. To allow a site to place a persistent cookie, you need to make an exception (site permission).

  When you turn on the story to stop compensation and include cookies, running a completely separate process that doesn't doesn't pay attention to the duration of cookie or exceptions (permissions site). There just nukes all.

  Note that some cookies could survive if they are encoded in the history file of your session of compensation at the stop, a Firefox uses to restore your tabs and windows from last session. I have not tested.

• Firefox uses https rather than http

  I had problems to connect to a site recently so I tried to use https instead of http and I got but only a text based page. Now I want to go back to using http, but Firefox uses https rather than http.

  I put browser.urlbar.autoFill.typed and browser.urlbar.autoFill to false, but it does still even after restarting Firefox. I deleted cookies, the tab of this site closed and restarted Firefox. He always does.

  I tried to set the keyword. URL to http://***.***.org/ "obviously with the correct url.

  Anyone has the clues how to stop this?

  One of the reasons why a "Strict-Transport-Security" header sent by your server (or an application on your server). Once Firefox stores this parameter specific to the site, you may be stuck with HTTPS forever. See this thread for an example: Firefix 25.0.1 forces SSL even when http:// is specified in the address bar.

  The function "to forget this site" will erase all the known places that Firefox can keep information on the site. This, of course, history and cookies, but also includes the permissions specific to the site and even favorite.

  If you want to try it, the option is available in two locations:

  • The library dialogue (history > view history). Right click on any entry to the site.
  • The subject: permissions page (type or paste on: permissions in the address bar and press enter). Choose the site from the list on the left and look for the button in the upper right.

• How can I stop the click "" Firefox"is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it? » ?

  Whenever I launch Firefox 20 Mac OS X 10.7.5, I get the warning message by clicking "" Firefox"is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it? ». How can I stop this? There are displays on internet and previous assignments on this resolution by using Terminal commands for OS X 10.5.x & 10.6.x, but these commands do NOT work in 10.7.x or 10.8.x. This seems to be a problem of Firefox ONLY, and resolve by disabling the recommended world of security features to OS X, as before in a previously closed thread appears as a solution really BAD. Is there a "Firefox" solution only, or I will have to just to stop using Firefox?

  Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.

  Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program in the folder of the application on your hard drive.
  You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead.

• Why firefox uses so much memory?

  For several months, Firefox has eaten memory like crazy. Once I get more than 5 tabs open or that you have Firefox running for more than an hour, the memory usage hit about a GB. If I continue to let go beyond that, it will hit 1.5 to 2 GB and it made my gel set office. I got to keep the Task Manager and every hour or so just kill Firefox and restart. Preventing it from crashing my whole desktop computer. It's definitely worse when I opened Google products, especially maps and Docs. GMail is generally OK.

  I tried to disable literally every add-on and Extension (including Flash and Adblock).

  I'm on Windows 7, I have 4 GB of RAM installed. I am on version 40.0 Firefox, but this has happened through a few updates now (I think the problem started around March or April). I also tried to back - rev Firefox and go to the latest version, that I had before the problems started, but that did nothing either.

  Chrome works fine on this machine without any similar problems - but I prefer Firefox!
