• Xmarks works only sporadically w / Firefox for years. This solved prob never will be so I can start to use Firefox again or not?

  O.S. Win7 HP x 64 & x 86
  FF c. 24 (& ~ 15-23)

  Of other active addons I always use = LastPass, BetterPrivacy, NoScript.

  Alternatives to Xmarks I tried:
  EverSync (tedious manual operation)
  GMarks «»
  Diigo (no toolbar Chrome)
  ~ FavoritesSaver (not accessible cloud)

  Will try:
  Delicious (if it meets my criteria, I'll take Firefox for good, but it would be my favorite browser if it would work right.)

  I think I solved the problem. I made a Firefox "reset".

• Firefox on the laptop of my wife lost the black bar that displays maps, Gmail etc. Now at the top of the screen there is an empty bar, triple height, with just the Google search box entry. How can I get that back? Or is it a question for Google?

  When I open Firefox there is a black bar, sometimes vertical, sometimes horizontal, in the upper part, with links to maps, Gmail etc. When I opened Gmail the same links are listed at the top of the screen, just under the tabs. In my wife's cell phone, it appears in the Firefox splash screen, but not in the form of Gmail. In the top of the screen is an extra-large gray bar with just one Google search box entry. Is this a problem of Firefox or Google?

  She has XP Home SP3 and Firefox 9

• Firefox for android mobile phone said app can access the following on your phone... take pictures and videos? Is there a work around? If not have to uninstall.

  I have Firefox for my laptop and wanted to use it on my phone Android mobile phone. When I saw under permissions that the application can access photos and videos and can take photos and videos that seemed very odd. Does anyone know of a work around to keep the app to take photos and videos without my permission? I do not want to uninstall but can allow the intrusion of privacy.

  We have a help article about why this permission is here: how Firefox for Android uses the requested permissions?

  Specifically, some sites may give you the option to attach or embed an image directly from the camera instead of going through a folder of pictures already taken. In order to support this feature, Firefox requires permissions to access the camera. However, according to this article, Firefox will ask your permission before leaving the site to use the camera. I don't think I have ever seen this in action.

• Why Mozilla Firefox uses Google as their search on the web if Google stores everything we look for?

  Why Mozilla Firefox use Google as their search engine if Google stores everything you are looking for and tracking what you do online? I have nothing against Firefox, I wonder why.

  This partnership is as old as Firefox itself, but each user can use any search engine they cars not to use - no reason, you should use Google simply because it is the default in Firefox.

  The search engines in the search bar can be removed.
  
  The search engine used in the Awesome Bar can be changed through subject: config.
  
  The search engine on the subject: home page can be changed, although not as easily as with the Awesome Bar.

  As to 'why', who knows? When Google offered to help Mozilla with financial support through their search engine is the search engine by default for Firefox, Mozilla had to say no to something that any other search engine is also at this time?

• What is the URL from where I can download 10 Firefox for Mac?

  I can't use Firefox 11 for Mac because it does not yet support an add-on I need security. So, I want to go down to 10 Firefox for Mac in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

  However, I could not find the URL from where I can download these two versions of Firefox for Mac 10. Yes, I tried to put several keywords in the search field: 'Download' 'downgrade' etc. 'Firefox' "previous versions". I still couldn't locate the URL.

  Would you be kind enough to send me the URL?

  I found my own answer. This answer works for all versions of Firefox, not only for version 10, not only for the Mac.

  The URL is ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org.../releases/. From this URL, you then navigate to the directory (aka subfolder) for the version you want to download.

  Of course, you need to know how to download from an FTP: / / URL.

• Is it possible in Firefox for android to use native handlers?

  In Firefox for windows or Linux, I can save a URL handler (for example, mailto :) but android takes this to a new level with intentions which can save stakeholders for the URI of the individual both in terms and types of mines.

  Are there plans to support mode useful android native (for example to manage a transition from twitter.com to the native twitter app), or maybe an add-on to support something similar? I already found https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/open-native-app/ but it's a manual process, rather than automatic.

  http is a website, Firefox browsing Web sites. We do not expect people sparkles to the native application for such things. We do not support loading resources that list the applications for assistance. For example, if you load a Google Maps page there is an icon in the address bar that will have information on the page and move on to the Android's Google Maps app.

• Huge topics (URL links) appearing in Google search results

  Since about a week or two ago (URL links) topics that appear in the Google search results I was huge.
  I don't think this inconvenience comes from Google, because it does not happen with Internet Explorer 8. Furthermore, I believe that Google would not leave this question open for so long. In addition, it is less obvious when Firefox opens Yahoo. In short, it is a matter of "Firefox with Google".

  I run Firefox 27.0.1

  Thank you.

  It's a good idea to test things in safe mode, but please be aware that not every change of setting will be reset in safe mode. So, reset can still solve the problem. Another thing you can try removes cookies (especially those estate of google), and the zoom reset, something could have with that before. Here's how to reset the zoom level: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/font-size-and-zoom-increase-size-of-web-pages

• Stoppage of work to a single url from Firefox

  I have an intranet application that has a set of windows of ajax. These windows have prototypejs timers on them to ask the server to web for new data every second. If nothing has changed, it will return an error page (500), otherwise it will answer new data to use in the div box is.

  It worked fine until version 27. At the time (usually after about 3 hours) in version 27, the div will appear not to get updates. If you refresh the window it will never get its first request so that in this State. However, you can restart the browser, and it should correct the problem. I debugged through the javascript code and found that it was indeed sending the request, but nothing ever comes back. I then takes the url of the request and opened a second tab and tried to access this url it and the browser just runs. I actually let it go for more than an hour and never arrived. No error message or anything. I then took this url and open another web browser (IE) and he was able to get back. I tried again in FIrefox, but it just spins. I then put the url into firefox, but adding a false parameter (? a = b) at the end of this one and it worked. I also found that the clearing browser history clears up the issue. However disable cache or the browser history does not seem to help.

  Hours three times a request per second is... a lot of requests for the same page.

  I wonder if a change could have been done, thin like solving a competitive situation, which prevents demand new Envoy when the same application is still pending?

  If you encounter this again, it works for Firefox to work offline, then online again after a minute? You can do this by using the file menu in the classic menu bar (Alt + f).

  Hello

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

  (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
  • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

  

  Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

  Thank you.
