Seizure semi-automatic Firefox redirects me to the wrong Web site

Sometimes, when I type a URL of Web site in the address bar, it autocompletes the URL of the Web site, but then after I pressed Enter, it goes to the wrong website (the website that appears first on the drop-down list).

My example is when you type 'tw' in the address bar, it autocompletes, 'twitch.tv', but when you press Enter, it goes to, "twitter.com".

Follow these steps to delete data in a drop-down list:

  1. Select an entry in the drop-down list with the mouse or the cursor key
    do not click with the mouse or press the Enter key
  2. Press the DELETE key (on a Mac: shift + del) to delete the highlighted entry

There are two prefs associated auto-fill in the address bar that you can examine and change on the topic: config page.

  • browser.urlbar.autoFill
  • browser.urlbar.autoFill.typed

You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • Firefox not to honor the "Offline Web content and data user" settings

    Firefox still accept web content offline and the user data, I have never any notification regardless of the 'tell me when a website asks to store data for use in offline mode' parameter (in preferences > advanced > network).

    I also completely erased all: permissions tab regardless of the "all sites > offline storage" storage offline implementation is always allowed.

    Here is one - step by step to reproduce my problem.
    1. make sure all: permissions is clear
    2 make sure that the list to: Preferences > network > "the following Web sites are..." "is that clear
    3. close the preferences window
    4 go to go to http://appcachefacts.info/demo/ ... No notification about the offline cache will appear.
    5. open the preferences, the list of preferences > network > "the following Web sites are..." »
    Will fill up now with http://appcachefacts.info (1.1 MB)

    This article list persists even after closing the browser window and re - open.
    This happens with a total disregard for the settings described in the first paragraph.

    I found a related question, but it's old and archived:
    https://support.Mozilla.org/he/questions/981189

    Firefox will store small amounts (less than 50 MB) of data without asking permission.

    • offline - apps.allow_by_default; true
    • offline - apps.quota.warn; 51200

    You can switch the pref in offline mode - apps.allow_by_default to false to make Firefox ask.

  • Using Firefox 4 and Windows 7. Whenever I have to start Firefox from a shortcut to a Web site, what happens with the following error "there was a problem sending the command to the program". The requested site is loaded after that. without any problem.

    Using Firefox 4 and Windows 7. Whenever I have to start Firefox from a shortcut to a Web site, what happens with the following error "there was a problem sending the command to the program". The requested site is loaded after that. without any problem.

    If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error will not occur.

    For me, the problem was the FoxClock extension. Once I disabled it, the problem was gone.

  • Going live with the new Web site in place of the old

    Hey,.

    I don't know if this is the right place for all of my questions, some refer content Wordpress, but all on the same site.

    I have developed a new site for our company. He will replace our current wordpress site which was tail entirely using wordpress by a web designer. The new Web site I developed using Muse for 90% of the construction, but I created a 'news blog' and 'customers' of the pages within wordpress and have insertedf this content as HTML elements on the site of Muse.

    The next thing is to start, but I'm very nervous about what we have a good number of site visitors e every day the transition should be as transparent as possible. Here are the things I want to achieve:

    1. move the new content of wordpress instead of the old wordpress site on our server. Doing so then write about the old content (saved) replacing the current url of the new generation which has ' / redevelopment ' suffix. The url would be as is currently: www.XXXX.com rather than www.XXXX.com/redevelopment

    "2 download the new content of the website developed in Muse in a download is completed by the new content of Wordpress so that, as stated above, we drop the ' / redevelopment" suffix and download as www.XXXX.com

    3. I work as a team with someone else and we have developed a website "desktop/tablet" version and a "mobile" version of the site on two different machines to spread the workload. The desktop build has been before Muse adding delicate design, both content and simply could not be worked back to work on the mobile, where we worked to delicate on the 'bureau' design so it works on tablets, but chose to develop a second generation for 'mobile '.

    So the question is how do ensure us that users coming to the site should be forwarded to the versions 'desktop' and 'mobile' of the site automatically?

    4. establish the 303 redirects, so that the old URLs with backlinks now push new URLS that have been SEO optimized with more descriptive terms.

    As I say, I realize this might not be the forum for this question, if anyone has any suggestions on this forum I could use which may be more appropriate, I would really appreciate the pointer (I posted this question on the forums of Wordpress too).

    Thanks in advance

    IMO, a sensitive site is the way to go.  I don't know your reasons for moving away from WordPress, however, it makes more sense to keep the whole of the site on a single platform responsive & dynamic instead of cut into separate pieces that you have.

    That said, the JavaScript redirect code is below.   Put this in thesection of all the pages of your site.   Window.location change the URL of your mobile/tablet.  Adjust the value of the breakpoint (950) as requires it.

    On the surface, this may seem like a good solution.  But you should be aware of the defects.

    1. It is not 100% reliable.  Redirect JavaScript will not work if users have JS disabled in their device.  It is not common, less than 5% of users have no script.   But users will see your site Office.
    2. It's a trip one way.  In other words, even if users want to see the site of the office, they can't get there unless they move on to more great devices or disable JavaScript & refresh their browser.
    3. With multiple URLS, there is risk of Google penalty to have contained duplicate on your site.   To avoid this, you must add canonical (preferred) URL of each pagetag.

    Good luck with your project!

  • How can I get Firefox to stop censoring my research Web site?

    Why Firefox censoring my users to Web site. It would even let me get to my online account from Chase Bank without me directly to ask them to enable it. Firefox has also censored websites and prevents me from them, allowing to quickly redirect me to a previous Web site without giving me time to enable. I think that Firefox denies me access to internet how to prevent Firefox from this ridiculous form of censorship.

    Are you sure it's Firefox?

    Firefox is not a search engine, but it uses the search engines. Which engine do you use? Change its search parameters.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by pressing on the
    (Mac = Options)
    key and then from Firefox. A small dialog box should appear. Click start in Safe Mode (no refresh).

  • Security: Firefox for mobile phishing and fake Web site

    Firefox for Android mobile load the page title on the URL space.

    If a fake site Web put the name of the page as the user of the website address can be confused.

    Suppose that the Bank Web site is www.mybank6567.ext

    The fake site may be fakebank.ext this Web site can have a SSL and the name of the page on mybank65.ext can be the url of the originating bank.

    If the user opens hidden mobile Firefox link can be easily confused.

    Look try to open this URL from Firefox Mobile on Android https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/405 you must be logged on github.com after loading the page, if you see on top, it seems to be on the right site of the Bank, there is the simbol of lockpad, and the address that you read is the address of the Bank. The inexperienced user can be confusing.

    Oh, I'm sorry.
    It is very important issue and I hope that security of Firefox will be fixxed as soon as possible.

    Bad image for Firefox in this issue. Very dangerous.
    So here I end my question.

    Sorry, but I'm not registered in bugzilla and I won't record because I don't want to make my email address public so I hope more people continue to insist on bugzilla for this security problem.
    I stop my discussion here, I alerted on the security issue on Firefox Mobile.

  • Unable to delete the data from the Safari Web site...

    Hello.

    I need help with my Safari browser on my Mac.

    Im trying to remove all Web site data with the following procedure:

    Safari-> Preferences-> privacy-> Remove All Data Web site...

    His does not work. Before clicking on the button I have 108 Web sites stored cookies or other data, I click the button, and nothing happens... I'm still 108 cookies.

    I also did the following:

    . - activate the Menu developer and Cache empty and tried again... nothing

    . - order iCloud Sync of Safari on the computer and try again... same problem

    . - removed manually com.apple. Safari. Secure

    Any help will be great. Please let me know if you need any additional info.

    Thank you.

    Hello DZanvettor,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    If I understand your message that nothing happens when you try to remove the Safari Web site data. I know how it is important for you to be able to remove the Safari Web site data. I recommend that you restart your Mac into safe mode and see if you can remove the data from the Web site in secure mode.

    Here are the steps to restart your Mac in safe mode:

    Safe mode (sometimes called secure boot) is a way to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks and prevents certain software from loading automatically or opening.

    From your Mac in safe mode does the following:

    * Check your startup disk and attempts to fix problems if necessary directory
    * Loads only required kernel extensions
    * Prevents the elements start and the login items open automatically
    * Disables installed user fonts
    * Delete font caches, hiding the kernel and other files of the system cache
    * Together, these changes can help resolve or isolate issues related to your startup disk.

    Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

    1. start or restart your Mac.
    2. as soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. release the SHIFT key when you see the Apple logo appears on the screen.

    After you delete data from the Web site in safe mode restart your Mac and allow it to start up as usual. Then test the issue again.

    Best regards.

  • Security / reset the integrated Web site administrator password

    Hello

    I use a HP Photosmart 7510 e-All-in-One - C311a (PMN: CQ877A, Firmware: VEP1CN1137CR).

    While trying to set up the integrated Web site security administrator password, I used a generated password of 20 characters.

    After that, I was unable to connect to printer with the same password administrator settings. I also tried with the same password remove some characters at the end, one by one, just in case the internal password printer storage area has truncated less than 20 characters.

    I tried a partial reset, semi Full Reset, OOBE Reset, full Reset (through what appears to be a blue start menu) and clear derivatives. None of these methods erased the administrator password.

    Is there a specific command or method that would allow me to access administrative back?

    Thank you

    Hi Jay4096,

    The full semi's to zero that would reset the password in your screenshot that you provided. You will need to contact support and let them know that the printer fails to clear the password by using the semi full reset. You can contact our technical support at the 800-474-6836.
