Since the update to version 8.0.1 many Web sites have lost their identity icon.

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

  • Since the update to version 10, Firefox inserts are no longer saved passwords. How can I fix?

    Password Manager remembers my passwords, but don't insert them at the newspaper in time. This started after updating to version 10. You will be prompted to save the new password, it will not insert the 'old'.

    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.

    Hope this helps!

  • Since the update to 28.0 typing too many address in the address bar has no effect.

    Updated to 28.0 31/03/2014. Nothing happens when I have too much to type the address in the address bar and press ENTER. Cannot access that tied to the breast of the web pages or emails, or addresses marked with a bookmark.

    First check your Firefox search bar works well and that it is set to a reasonable option. Many users probably doesn't realize that search bar search engine is used for all searches from Firefox now, including the search from the address bar.

    Of course, this does not affect anyone with Firefox 28. It's actually a rare problem, and I don't know what is the cause. All I can do is suggest a process of elimination.

    If the problem is that after the update it must still be another factor involved.

    No antimalware product is perfect. It is always worth trying to sweeps multiples and up-to-date anti-malware tools.

    Try test following a process of elimination (probably the best in this order and check after each step)

    1. In safe mode and with all plugins disabled.

    2. A new profile. Or reset Firefox.
    3. A clean reinstall

  • Since the update to Firefox 13, most of google's sites will not work in the browser, including gmail, google docs and even research.

    These sites all worked fine before the update and I can access it from the other browsers on the same machine. Google docs just says: «redirection...» "but never goes anywhere Gmail will load up after about 5 minutes, but does not load Gchat and the homepage of google allows me to search once, but after a search, I can't look for something else, it just stops.

    It comes to my work computer, so I don't know much about what is installed on it. I don't know, we use a proxy server, but it is the same one who use other browsers, and they work. But our desktop system only works on Firefox, and I really want to use a browser, instead of switching between browsers only when I want to do a simple google search.

    Hello noamscohen, thanks for the reports with the details of your system. Please enter Subject: config in the location bar, search for the preference named network.http.keep - alive and switch to true, the default, by double-clicking on it. This should make the pages encrypted google dependent again.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.
