  • Why the possibility to add bookmarks from any tab has been removed in Firefox 4?

    Also why status bar has been removed from Firefox 4?
    I had to go back to Firefox 3, because the lack of these 2 things were boring me.

    I know, status bar can be fixed with the addon, but why it is not available in a clean version of Firefox?

    Some menu entries are hidden by default and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu.

    You can see the difference if you use Alt + F or Alt + B to open the menu 'File' and 'Favorites' and compare them to what see you if you use the mouse to open the menu after completing the bar menus visible by pressing Alt, or by pressing F10.

    • "To bookmark all tabs" (Shift + Ctrl + D) is no longer present in the menu bookmarks unless you open the bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
    • 'Bookmark this Page' is accessible through the context menu of the browser page.
    • "To bookmark all tabs" are available through the context menu of a tab on the tab bar.

  • Cannot remove bookmarks - Firefox 41.0.1

    I tried the solution described in "How to remove a bookmark?" in your help http://mzl.la/1xKryNt

    This removes the bookmark from the bookmark list.

    But now, if I type the bookmark again in the "search or enter the address" box, it still works and goes to the pages he used to go to.

    I want to delete the bookmark because it points to versions out-of-date the Google spreadsheet that I want to see.
    I want to remove all references to the older leaves, then restore the bookmark so that it points only to the last sheet.

    Any ideas how to do this?

    Hi, when you type in the search box, it's probably picking up your story, so delete all references to the site in question, as indicated under the heading "How to remove a single website to my story?" in this article - delete navigation, search and download history on Firefox.

    You can also change the settings of your story, if you like - confidentiality, and-not-track browsing history settings.

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

  • unwanted tab of Firefox startup

    I use a MAC and have had Firefox on this subject for a while. For several months, however, it seems that I want to open one or more tabs called "Startup, homepage, tabs,...» ». I don't want and didn't ask for them. We open always, alongside my desired home page, and another one appears next to this one on an occasional and irregular basis. I can't find a clear box to uncheck... How can I get these go away (and ongoing)?

    If this happens every time that you click the Home button or start a new window (for example, Cmd + n) then I check the setting of the home page. Firefox allows several tabs under the home page, with each address separated by a vertical bar. This article describes how to check this setting:

    Startup, homepage, tabs and download settings

    If there is no model, hmm, it's harder.

  • Remove (adware) Firefox 38.

    I have a bug that overwrites the data in the Start Page for Firefox 38. There is a link. I really want to get rid of it. Ran Ad-aware, Malware - didn't find it. It only happens in Firefox. Can you help me?

    It is not adware, it's a feature of Firefox that Mozilla uses from time to time.

    It you like it, there are 3 ways to get rid of him.

    The best way to get around that is just to create your own home page and do not use the 'default' on: homepage.
    See - How to set the home page

    You can use this UserStyle - https://userstyles.org/styles/104673/about-home-hide-snippets-and-hide-brand-logo - to hide the two sections of the about: home page House that Mozilla sends messages and videos when they feel the "need".

    Many of us have disabled the changes made to the top [brandLogo part] of the Start Page of Firefox and off advertising "excerpts" [under the reservoir of research] that Mozilla uses all the time now, so we don't see this "thing".

    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.

    Restart Firefox for these changes to take effect.

    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.

  • Can I remove all Firefox 13.0.1 and establishment of 26.0 Stub?

    I'm under the Firefox browser later, but has the following on my PC:
    The installation program 13.0.1 06/26/12
    Setup Stub 26.0
    I can remove them safely?
    Grateful for your advice

    Hi 1PaulHoward, you can safely delete these files - it is only the application configuration files, which are needed to install the browser for the first time. in case you need to install the browser again in the future you can always download a recent version of firefox from mozilla.org/firefoxconfiguration.

  • How to remove the Firefox orange button at the top left of the screen

    How remove Firefox orange button at the top left of the screen, it is a serious obstacle to my impulsive reflex hit "File" at the top left of the screen. Is throwing me off the coast of the big time, but also another source of frustration {absent these new version basic navigation features would be the first temporary fixed through 'extension' but until the next version makes it no longer work} [is not a plugin or the Correction-nazis will flood this thread!]

    So, how do you remove this huge blazing orange block with the label at the top left of the screen?

    I tried to ask this question in another thread, but apparently working away from home for more than one month is the once unthinkable and a sign of decline. This thread is now "archived" and here-car, locked. So I have to make a new thread to ask this again.

    A large number of text for a simple problem, but as I've learned since the update de.28 or other, nothing to do with Mozilla is simple. Especially the navigation and functionality. I have yet to wrap my brain around the fact that they slaughtered this program so much in so little time. If java and SWF plugins continued to work on the former, I would have NEVER updated!

    The community is much too complacent on these MAJOR issues.

    I think that I fixed it by changing the theme to default to something ugly, then return to default... Box orange GONE!

    Thank you for your time and patience.

  • How to remove the Firefox disk icon

    I uninstalled Firefox last week because I had problems with computer (fans) after the last update. Just a coincidence I think because I continued to have the same problems after uninstalling, so I reinstalled it today. However, I'm unable to remove an orange square drive? my desktop icon. I can only take it off if I leave Firefox. After opening Firefox again, I not only to get the icon back, but I also get training install area once again, that is to say... big box with blue and orange Firefox icon dictate to put in my file of the application. If I do this, Firefox re - install once again, and I start over. I restarted my computer hoping that would be useful, but it did not. If it's harmless, ok, but he was never there for the many years I have used Firefox and it's a pain to have to click on the box and also have the icon on my desktop, all the time.

    You're clicking on the stub Installer to launch Firefox after that you already installed. Please remove any installer stub after you have already added the icon in the Applications folder.

    You can then pin it to your doc so that Setup of heel will no longer launch icon.
