Since the update of the 16 to 17, shortcuts to office created by dragging show generic Windows icon instead of the Firefox-page icon.
During the upgrade of the FF 16 or 17, I can always drag the icon that is to the left of the url on the desktop (or even quick launch of XP, shortcuts to files, etc.) to create an internet shortcut to the current page. However, with 17 this method produces a shortcut that shows a generic Windows icon instead of a Firefox-page icon. Even if a generic Windows icon shows normally "no associated program," these always open with FF when double-clicked. But it does not look good. (BTW, all of the shortcuts created by this method in FF 16 or less preserved the FF-page 17 updated icon.)
No idea why this has changed and how to fix it so that it looks the same as before?
Pending the resolution of the present (and another question) I went back to 16 FF, and it works normally again. However, shortcuts that were created while I had 17 always display the generic Windows icon.

When you use help I find references to the address bar, toolbar, Bookmark Tags, etc and still do not exactly know what areas these terms make reference to the Firefox page. I tried to find a guide, nothing helps. It would be very useful if help section has been that, if it isn't already.
I found this page, but it is a bit outdated.

I see not that everything written on the firefox page. But when open secure mod (with SHIFT because there is no written) firefox run normally.
If you have tried safe mode and the problem disappeared, this means that one of your modules are the origin of the problem are seen.

I used to be able to navigate to Web sites simply by selecting from the drop-down list below the address, but since the upgrade to Firefox 10 when I select my desired menu URL drop down it does not load automatically more; Now, I have to select and then click the 'go '. How to get back to the way it was?
Try to disable AVG Safe Search of tools > Modules (or waiting to see if they ship an update). It happened with similar extensions.

I use a Mac with OS X 10.7.2 (Lion). I used previously 8 Firefox without any problems.

Since the Firefox 27 update, close the tab cancel has stopped working.
All the other features of restoration work as far as I can tell, and by disabling the only addon that should even remotely affect it (Tabmix Plus) does not solve the problem. I also tried to implement the correction suggested for this article (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/978286?esab=a & s = undo + close + tab + not + working & r = 0 & s = ACE) nothing works.
No problem with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/versions/?page=1#version-0.4.1.3
Maybe the problem is in the latest TabMixPlus

My Firefox preferences are on:
When Firefox starts: show my homepage
Homepage: http://www.foxnews.com/If I change my home page, Firefox however opens to a blank tab.
I think I solved my problem.
As I said earlier, I started 25.0.1 and everything was fine.
This morning, I decided to start from scratch.
I deleted Firefox and all my computer files.
Using an application called EasyFind I find all files related to Firefox on my hard drive and deleted. This includes all profiles and preferences.
Then, I downloaded Firefox 26.0 and installed.
So far, the problem still happened.
All right.
Thanks to everyone who has helped me and Happy New Year!
Kind regards

According to the previous question. YouTube videos, whether on youtube or on FB, do not show, just a black screen still. When I disable all (some does not, it seems) addons, the problem is solved. It is, I want to keep the addons and use youtube. I see a list of plugins here below; I'm not talking about the plugins, I do not know if and how they affect this issue.
Test for faulty Extensions
Check and tell if its working.

When Firefox upgrades usually get you the page that says "Hooray!" "Your Firefox is updated. Then that's it until the next update. I get this every DAY, as well as the homepage that I bookmarked. I need to see it every day and I see no way to turn it off. Sometimes even though I have updates and the disabled "check that Firefox is your browser.

Welcome to the Firefox Page always load at startup.
Whenever I start firefox, the Welcome to Firefox Web page load, regardless if I go and reset my home page or if I start with a blank page as. Only, this has started to happen after I have updated to version 13.0
I have tried many of the troubleshooting guides available from Mozilla so that users you meet people with the same problem, and none of them does not work for me.
I also started Firefox in safe mode and chose the reset all preferences option and restarted and it is also not correct the problem.
Anyone know what could be the cause and how to fix it?
Try resetting Firefox.

Title described the problem, which began with 17 FF. Initially, I asked for this on the subject:
https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/942316?ESAB=a & As = AAQ
My concern is that, if a lot of people participated, and Mozilla has developed a solution (thank you all!), the thread was closed with a "solution" that does describe exactly what the user should do to solve the problem. The required changes have been described in detail a bit more actually shortly before the thread was closed, but even those who are unable to provide an adequate explanation for many users of messages.
I don't know if I approach it the right way, but I wanted to give the steps to address this problem, for those who might need them.
Required measures to "solve" this problem and make the XP behavior for 'slide on the desktop' similar to what it was before 17 FF:
1 make sure you have at least 21 FF.
2. type about: config, and then click on "I'll be careful, I promise!
3. right-click anywhere in the pane and select new Boolean.
4. This will bring up a dialog box with the title "New Boolean value." Where it says "Enter the preference name", type: browser.shell.shortcutFavicons and click OK. Then highlight the value False and click OK.
5 restart FF. Fact.
FYI, it seems that there may be ongoing work to simplify - or entirely remove the need for--these steps to the future

Everything else was normal icons (i.e. Illustrator files) but the Photoshop files are blank. It is true that I am on any type of Viewer format, i.e. details, thumbnails, can someone help me?
Hi Eelswood,
Please try to change the file association for the .psd files.
Right click on the file > select 'Open with' > 'Choose default pogram' and select 'Photoshop' in the list of programs.
Make sure that "Always use the pogram selelcted to open this type of file" is checked at the bottom of the window.

I noticed since the Firefox upgrade, identify a website in my favorites, all the icons disappeared, but if I go to Favorites, view all bookmarks, and then in the bookmarks menu, all icons identifying a web site, are all there. I have always used Firefox, since I got my Mac, but I feel lost, when looking for sites preferred in bookmarks, as some newspapers in a site, using the icon, to identify a site, now, all I have is a list of sites, with no ID, icons same Firefox and Google, have no icons in front of their name.
