Since the update to version 12, I found that this version was no longer a secure browser.

Whenever I open the home page informed me to upgrade to the new version of Firefox, this I did several times. Nothing helps. I decided to uninstall all previous programs Firefox and reinstall. It made no difference and "help firefox page" informed me that the browser was no longer safe.

Following the suggestion of your troubleshooting guide, I changed my home page, the warnings have stopped; but most websites load not properly, or not at all.

You are updated to the latest version (12.0).
Your user agent is corrupted by Fast Browser Search (FBSMTWB) that identifies you as Firefox/3.6.17

see your user agent:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6. en-US; RV:1.9.2.17) Gecko/20110420 Firefox/3.6.17 FBSMTWB

you need to reset the user agent, see in the "other causes" link to do this easily

    In the address bar and bookmarks, many web sites have lost their identity icon in Firefox 8.0.1 (that were there before). Now the cursor over the area of the icon reveals a message stating "this site does not provide identity information. But this message is also up by placing the cursor on a with an icon. Some sites have the icon in the bookmarks, but it does not show in the address bar. I found that this does not happen on Vista laptop, only on the Windows 7 desktop.

    Checking all my favorites icons, I found that some are still there AND by revisiting SOME sites, I restored the icon from the list of bookmarks.

    It did not work with each other, but some sites don't have a favicon.ico img on all their pages.

    Still a few sites that I KNOW has icons before are not displayed to the top.

  • Infinite scroll does not work since the update to version 35.0.1

    Since the last update to version 35.0.1, infinite scrolling (on Yahoo Answers in particular) has not worked. This seems to be a problem with Firefox, because it still work if I use the Internet Explorer browser. Some of my others preferring the settings been dirtied with during the automatic update (tabs and recorded history) I have to wonder if it is a real bug, or just a setting that has changed during the update. Whatever the reason, it is not a setting I changed, and it's frustrating. Help, please.

    Some sites like Google images automatically load additional content if you scroll the page.
    Note that extensions can also add such a feature on some websites.

    You can try the following steps in case of problems with web pages:

    You can reload webpages and ignore the cache to refresh potentially stale or corrupt.

    • Hold down the SHIFT key and click the Reload button
    • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
    • Press 'Command + shift + R' (Mac)

    Clear the cache and delete cookies only from Web sites that cause problems.

    "Clear the Cache":

    • Firefox/tools > Options > advanced > network > content caching Web: 'clear now '.

    'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:

    • Firefox/tools > Options > privacy > "Use the custom settings for history" > Cookies: "show the Cookies".

    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.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

    Hey Patty1515,

    Have you looked at the section of the Base names of users and passwords are not saved ? There are lots of good information in there.

    If it's only a particular site, you experience problems with, you can also delete cookies from this site in order to make the site you not forget if you have created a remember me cookie by visiting to Tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies" that there could be a "don't remember" cookie for this site.

  • Since the update to version 27.0b2 on Win8.1 x 64 my buttons extension (on my address bar) keep changing positions whenever I start Fx.

    As I said, version 27.0b1 worked very well. But once I upgraded to 27.0b2, the icons of the extension (buttons) on my address bar would automatically change position and sometimes even go MIA! (will not be displayed even)! Whenever I have customize and drag the icons in position, it stays that way until I close Fx and then restart. Then the same problem occurs.

    This exact behavior also happens with the 28 all night (Australis) that I have on another PC. Which affected the devs with this update from 27.0b2? It's driving me crazy. Can someone please help?

    On my system: Win 8.1 (64-bit). Only the profile of Fx (default). I have not recently installed any new plugins or extensions.

    Best is to check the problems caused by a corrupted in such cases localstore.rdf file.

    Note that the installation of the toolbar is maintained in a pref (browser.uiCustomization.state) Australis.

    Note that Aurora is currently Firefox 28.0a2 and the Nightly build with 29.0a1 Australis.

    Australis is very different from that of the previous layout of the toolbar and many extensions will get broken.

    Things can change at any time when the new land code, so be prepared to learn more (perhaps unpleasant) surprises.

  • Since the update to version 24, the address bar is useless. Not yet about: config does nothing. No URL is accessible by typing in the address bar.

    Start in safe mode - no effect
    Cannot reach anywhere by using about: config. Firefox health report is completely empty.

    It is quite possible that a problem gets migrated to a new profile via reset in case the migration includes data that is causing problems (cookies, data from bookmarks and history stored in places.sqlite).

    When you reset Firefox and a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, data form) are automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved on the desktop (old data of Firefox).

    It is possible to recover more data from the old profile, but be careful not to copy the files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem.

    I have Firefox 8.0.1 and since the update to it, some sites, I need to go so that Firefox will not accept certificates which is accepted in the previous version. I can not get the permanent exception and must uncheck permanent

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

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: opens showing the file

    It is not usually necessary to create an exception for the certificates.

    Possible causes are that a server does not send the full (intermediate) certificate chain or self signed certificates.

  • Since the update Windows 10, my CS5 Photoshop created jpg are no longer visible in Windows Explorer (File Manager)

    Since the update Windows 10, my CS5 Photoshop created jpg are no longer visible in Windows Explorer (File Manager).  I have reset Photoshop like application default for jpg files, rebooted.  Nothing has changed.  The ideas people?

    Hi R_Kelly,

    Hidden folder/file settings was the first place, I checked and kept checking each new reboot.

    I have copied below my temporary solution I posted in another forum thread.

    See point 7.  I found a way to make it visible again.

    1. I can see all jpg files created before Win10 update AND all the jpgs created by other programs, other than Photoshops after Win 10 update.

    2 Photoshop cannot see the newly created Photoshop created jpg files in the file picker at all since Upgrade to Win 10.  I've never had a problem of invisibility of file before winning 10 update.  My hidden files were always checked to be visible.  However, Photoshop can open if listed files in a basic text file search in Windows Explorer in the path of the file "recently used".

    3. the files are not visible or clickable at all in Windows Explorer tree or the Photoshop file selector. They become open and visible when listed in a basic text file search in Windows Explorer in the path of the file "recently used".

    4 Microsoft Office applications can't see the new Photoshop created Jpg files in file, only pre Win 10 update pickers jpg created by other applications and versions.

    5. the problem occurs only with Photoshop jpg created after the Win 10 update.

    6. I checked the settings "Show hidden files, folders and files of the operating system", and they remain as they were, which allows all the hidden to visible objects.  I kept the visibility settings files in this way since the early 1990s.

    Temporary fix below *.

    7. I did yet another simple search of the text Windows Explorer, he finds invisible jpg files less all links 'recently used' who were there yesterday (2nd day after I created the files), I checked the location of file properties file and it entered the original file I saved their.  Using a right-click of the mouse on the file to bring up the menu actions and file properties, I was able to copy and then paste the file into another directory.  I jumped on the directories to see if it remains visible and he (Yes). The new copy is now visible to the pickers of file in Photoshop and Microsoft Office applications.
