• When I use any shortcut to access a Web site, firefox will open the google Web site. How to fix?

  Suddenly, about 3 days ago whenever I click a shortcut on the desktop to a Web site, firefox opens a google home page. the only way I can use firefox to access websites is to type a url into the address bar on the google page. all my desktop shortcuts open up to the google home page.
  major problem is that desktop shortcuts show url until firefox opens the Web page.

  It started about a month or two it y a. almost all Web sites that I visit Firefox lag or stalls pure and simple script error messages, giving me the advice (not responding) to the top of the page or do not respond.

  I tried all suggestions that I found in help, including "Firefox uses too many resources", "Firefox crashes or does not ', and 'Unresponsive script - how to fix.

• Firefox continues to change url in the address bar, even when I type a url full. How can I force my search?

  Dealing with the same companies daily, weekly, or on a very regular basis. When I get a new business account or a customer, I try to remember to delete erroneous results in the address bar. I hit the full url (.com) in the address bar, but Firefox forces of memory (or history) and the only way I can get where I'm going is to type the address from a search engine.

  I have everything: completion of the configged, but that didn't work. I also tried autofill.typed, but that has not worked. I tried to change tools > address bar, but the choices are not good. I almost never search bookmarks and my story is too often used to remove. (It seems counterproductive). How can I stop Firefox forcing me to go places I want to go?

  It looks like - in the sense to remember shit that I can't remember - and to do my research much more difficult.
  I had problems - particularly in Amazonia. I wrote a couple of times. Nobody has ever gotten back me on why FIREFOX has so many problems. If I get answers here, how can I get answers? I don't want to use IE and I don't want to have to avoid certain websites because results suck. I'm in limbo until solutions are found.

  Thank you.

  I don't know if the problem is that Firefox itself changes the address you type in the address bar, or if the site is immediately Firefox redirection to another page when trying to access the address you specified.

  For example, 1 & 1 Webmail currently redirects to this site for login: https://webmailcluster.perfora.net/

  When bi-ecrans is used, and Firefox is on the second monitor, the Firefox menu does not appear. Same thing happens to the bar when typing already visited sites of addresses.

  I have the same problem and I got rid of it by disabling hardware acceleration of rendering in the settings dialogue. Now I see the Firefox menu properly on a secondary monitor.

• When I use search, Firefox doesn't let me finish typing the word. Strikes effect the page rather than the search box (BACKSPACE ex. goes back a page instead of a character in the box). How can I fix it?

  When I type in the search box, Firefox interrupts me before I finish typing the word (usually within the first 4 letters. 'Focus' password input box to find on the page itself. If I type backspace Firefox goes back to a single page of navigation, not a single character in the box. I disabled Searchmenu, but which did not help.

  I had not restarted after you disable the SearchMenu. After you restart, it would seem that the problem was, in fact, SearchMenu. That was my suspicion. Once finding highlights a 'word' SearchMenu interrupts to offer her services. I guess I'll post on their advice, to see if there is a solution.

• Firefox won't charge of some url / Web sites that work in other browsers

  Whenever I try to load a beginning of following Web site with stk.co (e.g. stks.co/q1CqL ) Firefox gives the error message:

  The 'Accept' HTTP header field with a value of hc/url"; ' * / * ' could not be parsed.

  The same URL loads easily into Internet Explorer and other browsers.

  How can you solve this problem and/or configure firefox to load this url?

  Thank you!

  You might have customized from the default "Accept" header. Here is a place to check:

  (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 search above the list box, type or paste ACCEP and make a pause so that the list is filtered

  (3) If network.http.accept.default preference is bold and marked as set of users, it has been changed by default.

  You can right-click > copy the preference and then paste it somewhere for safety - in the case where there is a good reason for it was custom, and then right-click > reset to see if that helps.

  If it has not been changed by default, one of your extensions or proxy service can be it change on the fly.

• Firefox won't save, preferences, passwords, bookmarks, or bookmarks & imported settings of Safari.

  Firefox won't save bookmarks, passwords or preferences. He also won't save Favorites and imported settings of Safari. I tried the suggestions of help, but nothing seems to work. All the settings seem to be correct. I reloaded the software several times. When I allow Firefox import settings of Safari, it takes more than 40 minutes and then loses everything when I restart Firefox. I tried to start Firefox in safe mode, but it does not help.

  The problems are gone now. However, I'll never know exactly what that caused them. When I restarted the computer in safe mode problems continue. But when I tried to restart my computer does not recognize the hard drive in safe mode or in normal mode.

  It is possible that the Firefox problems were caused by a faulty hard drive.

  I was able to rebuild the directory with Disk Warrior and transfer my files, but the disk would not boot. Fortunately, I had a spare hard drive. I installed and reloaded all my software and data from scratch. I also downloaded the latest version of Firefox. Firefox works fine now.

  Thanks for all your suggestions. They may not have fixed this particular problem, but I learned a few new tricks from you to solve other problems.
