Is the last protégé of Firefox geolocation search machines?

There is a link I found on the Forum which was a bit like "subject: location" or something like that blackened being located geographically on Firefox. I lost it in my notes. Anyone know it? I now have the latest version of Firefox. The latest version automatically protected against geolocation devices come from the outside?

"Location-Aware Browsing" is only useful if you connect via a wireless access point.

Otherwise, a reverse DNS look up from your IP address is used and is generally not very accurate and this is probably what you're feeling.

Firefox will always ask for permission before using the geolocation.

  • For the last week or three Firefox updated two or three times for each update and sometimes for no apparent reason...

    For the last week or three Firefox updates two or three times for each update. Sometimes it refreshes without obvious reason. For example, I'll be in the middle of typing in the message forum block & it refreshes. Or by filling out an online form. Or simply viewing a page.

    You can check for problems caused by an extension that is not working properly.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.
  • Firefox does NOT start, the removal and resettlement will start as the last step, but once Firefox is closed, it does NOT restart.

    Both browsers (Firefox 21 & IE) installed on my Widows XP 64-bit office refuse to start or click the icon on the desktop, the start menu bar or the executable files themselves. What happens is that all the icons disappear from the screen for 15-30 seconds, then the icons appear on the screen, and the last information message displayed from the system tray at the beginning upward is repeated.

    Firefox deleting and reinstalling will start the browser as the last step, but when the new copy is closed, it will not start. Also just restart the download installation without removing Firefox will be 'Upgrade' and start in last step, but when the new copy is closed, it cannot be restarted. Restore running on the new copy has apparent effect on the ultimate inability to restart after closing.

    I've only tried the Internet Explorer browser after being unable to start Firefox (its only usually used by States to update procedure) and have not studied either reinstall or repair.

    Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin - container.exe" who was using much of my CPU when I open several tabs containing Adobe Flash files and locked up Firefox.

    My solution is to use Firefox 3.5.10, which you can get on the Mozilla site at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    I use Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the date of issue, in my opinion, it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".

    If all goes well, they will set Firefox 3.6 in the next version (for example Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use «Firefox 3.5.10»

  • Restart the PC under Windows XP, Firefox Sessions restore previous Session, not the last one I closed Firefox on.

    I formatted my PC and re-installed Firefox I saved application data about the configuration of firefox, after having reinstalled everything on pc and install firefox I can see my old tabs from last session, but when I say delete and or to make new tabs and option tools States still show my windows and last time labels , I then restart my pc and when firefox loads again the session is loaded from a former session before the format, I have create new sessions and the Firefox saves when I close and open them but whenever I restart my pc it still load pre format sessions. How can I make normal firefox once again without wiping my application data, passwords and settings and re - install the program? There must be a way.

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the profile folder of Firefox that store session data.

    Delete the sessionstore.js file possible sessionstore-# .js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

    Delete sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and tab groups and opened and closed the tabs (back) to get lost, so you will need to create them again (take note or bookmarks).

  • Firefox closes when I close the last tab, on a system, not the other

  • Since the last update, cannot navigate a site by typing in the address bar

    Since the last update/installation of Firefox, is no longer allows navigation via typing in the address bar. Even if I type the whole address and press on enter or click on the "go to" arrow, nothing happens. I navigate to a website by Google it and following their clickable links.

    I am not n00b - clearly an error with the latest version, or an interaction/preset that gets in the way. I would appreciate ideas.

    Help articles for Firefox on the latest state of the version:
    "Web search in the address bar - when you type in the address bar and press return, Firefox takes you in search results by using the search provider selected in the search bar."

    Uh, not Firefox. Your address bar takes me precisely nowhere!

    See you soon.

    OK, I have a follow-up recommends disabling half of the addons and restart the browser - if the problem disable the other half and continue until you have reduced the guilty...

    • Homepage

    or you can enter any web page or Subject: page you want.

  • After the last update of Firefox, youtube videos do not play. The answers I've found are not relevant or too complicated.

    After the last update of Firefox, youtube videos do not play. The answers I've found are not relevant or too complicated.

    Hi Cbella, YouTube is generally used with an HTML5 player, who is a player who does not use a plugin video in MP4 format (for example, it does not use the Flash plugin).

    Now, I based this assertion on Windows, Mac may vary.

    Could you do two tests for me?

    Test #1:

    To verify which player you see (which does work), try a right click or Ctrl + click on the YouTube Player and check the "context menu" that rises. If it's the Flash, there will be a menu short, referring to the Flash on the last line. If you do not see that, if you get a regular menu of Firefox, it's probably the HTML5 player.

    Are what player you?

    Test #2:

    If you open the following test page, which videos to play?

    http://www.quirksmode.org/HTML5/tests/video.html

    • The video "H.264/MP4" play?
    • The video "WebM" play?

    Thank you.

    Also, you can check if your Flash plugin is up to date? You can use the site Mozilla Plugin check for this (please ignore the other plug-ins page wants you to update at the moment avoid making the situation more complicated):

  • Cannot open google automatically when you click on the button new tab since the last update of Firefox.

    I was able to do so until the last update... I spent through the process several times since, but without success... including adding the complete URL, etc.. The only suggestion so far is that 1 of my modules could be the cause, but I have still the same as before (they are edge Adblock, S3. Google Translator and yet another Smooth Scrolling)... it's frustrating!... and I'd love some help please... Thank you.

    Hi, for reasons of security, 41 of Firefox, you must use an add-on like tab override (browser.newtab.url replacement), to make changes to the page tab.

    Once installed, open the Add-ons (Ctrl + Shift + A) Manager > Extensions, and then look for the new tab override and click Options to set your preference.

    Note, if you want only the new tab to be the same as your home page, you can use the Add on new tab homepage instead.

    You will then need to restart Firefox for all changes to take effect.

    If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

  • Firefox opens the last session and tabs regardless of settings.

    For the last month or two, I had this problem as well as others. Kept getting a popup to set my search engine, I did several times without success. This question went. Tab question remains.

    No matter what setting I use open the previous session. I have Tab Mix Plus 0.4.1.8 so I've disabled that and checked the settings in FF to open to my Home Page. No good, don't always open the previous session.

    This was not a problem with Tab Mix Plus over the years that I used it. Exactly, I removed it from the Add - ons. Options of FF and together to start with the Home Page and restarted FF but always opens the previous session.

    Including a snapshot of the modules enabled.

    What is the cause?

    Olhank

    Your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.
    The user.js file will be present if you or a other software created this file and normally will not present.

    You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that affects the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once true value.

    You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: 'Open with'; do not double-click).
    The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

    You can remove the user.js file if you do not create this file yourself.

    You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

    Windows hides certain default file extensions.
    Among them .html and .txt, so you can see only a user file name without .ini and .js file extension.
    You can check the type of file (file extension) in the properties of the file via the context menu in Windows Explorer.

  • The last 3 times I clicked on auto updates of firefox firefox has completely stop working and I have to open the Explorer and again to download firefox.

    I'm afraid to update firefox since the last 3 times I did so firefox stop working and had to be reinstalled.

    I'm glad it works again. This is the important result and thanks for posting back.

    Repeated to uninstall and reinstall Firefox often do not help.
    Clicking on the pop-up of unknown or doubtful origin, it is always a bad idea.

    Screenshots will help if you are still having problems.

    Connects to any future reference is not to the internet, after a new installation may be related to problems with the firewall or your security software not recognizing Firefox.
