• I just upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 and because the "padlock" icon never appears when you access secure Web sites, where should I look for it?

  I recently upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 and now the 'lock' icon is nowhere (I don't know) when you access secure Web sites. I've not seen once. It appeared in the lower right of the screen. I also have Norton Internet Security.

  Well, in the secure Web sites part of the address bar is allocated to the part of the security certificate. For example, here in these forums you can see your address bar is as follows: mozilla.com . https://support.mozilla.com... The front ' |' ("mozilla.com") is what I'm talking about. For more information on the security certificate, you can mouse over and also clicking on it.

• Since upgrading to Firefox 4 I lost my favorites and will not restore from my profile, also I often can't navigate to a page.

  Since the upgrade to Firefox 4: 1), I lost my favorites. (((2) if I go into my profile, there is no backups since 21 March (when I upgraded) and if I try to restore my favorites from backups in my profile, nothing happens (although if I look the .json file in textedit, they are clearly there) 3) when I start typing an address, Firefox gives me is more a suggestion of my story 4) (and possibly without) if I browse a site , via a link, I often can't navigate back (the grey towers left arrow). In other words, Firefox loses the story.

  This may be due to a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

• Since upgrading to firefox 26, I get a lot of pop-up windows

  Good so I was using Firefox as my main browser for years. I have little to NO problems with it, but lately the problem of the shock wave. But this isn't a big deal. My problem is with Firefox 26, I was informed of an update for it this morning and I've upgraded to Firefox 26. Now, whenever I use this browser I get ads everywhere in my screen and pop up windows. I uninstalled and used IE for a little while with no advertising cropping up. I went back on the firefox site and updated to date again. After about 10 minutes the ads started popping up. If I don't have a fix for this I'll be forced reluctantly to uninstall Firefox permanently. I am a real estate professional and when I'm in my local MLS a few key words like DATE are highlighted and if I mouse over it says "meet single girls in $$$" with a photo.

  Hello Jwg1978, you have various present malicious addons. Please, try the following steps:

  1. Reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
  2. then go to firefox > addons > extensions and where there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
  3. Finally, run a full scan of your system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to ensure that adware is not present in other parts of your system as well.

• Since upgrading to Firefox 10.0.2 my AVG extension had to be disabled, because key after typing in any web address in the address bar, had no effect and I couldn't go to the site without pressing the arrow of charging on the right.

  I've recently updated Firefox to the latest version 10.0.2. After that I could not enter any website address and press the Enter key and get on the site, neither could I select a Web site in the drop-down list of sites visited previously. The only way I could get there by pressing the arrow to the right of the address box (reload current page). Once I disabled the extension AVG, everything worked normally. As soon as I activated the extension AVG, it stopped working again.

  Known issue. See:

  • http://www.avgforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=4 & t = 1726 #p6050

  Try what sc123 suggested the link above. Send an email to [email protected] with your full license key and let them know. I'm sure his AVG question not related Firefox. :))

• Since upgrading to Firefox 4, I had no trouble. How downgrade and not lose my favorites? Or just downgrade without uninstalling Firefox?

  It does not load properly, freezes, crashes unexpectedly, don't pull up of PDF files from web sites and has problems with hotmail. I used Firefox for years and have never had this kind of problem. How do I downgrade to an older version? The new version 4 is obviously not ready to run and is riddled with problems.

  I was just made to look a right fool because of Firefox 4. My boss thinks now that I can't access a simple email! He has problems with IE and its home page had been hacked, so I installed Firefox (forget it automatically installed the most recent version) and it was horrible. The stupid browser will not open the Tiscali email in box for a reason, and he did look like I did something wrong, but it works perfectly fine on my computer running the latest Firefox 3.6. I downloaded 4 for a home use, because I thought that it would be even better, but it was horrible and I made a mistake in downloading it to my boss, thinking that it would make its use of the internet, better! Now, I had to uninstall loads of trash of its Internet Explorer browser and reset everything.

  All the buttons have moved, the tabs are in the wrong place and it is unresponsive! Why on earth have they trashed Firefox!
  

  To get back on track with my browser House, I didn't reactivate installing Firefox 3.16.6 (I kept the Setup file fortunately) and he replaced the horrible Firefox 4 and everything was back to normal. All my favorites and quick links were still in place.

  I think it's full of bugs, and my recommendation is to look for Firefox 3 and (without uninstalling Firefox 4) run the installer as usual to return to your old browser (much better and fully functional). It worked for me. If Mozilla Firefox 4 strength on me, I'll switch to Google Chrome or IE. It's HORRIBLE. Mozilla what you thought! Sort your act! Do not fix what is not broken!

  You can install all versions of previous Firefox from the link below.

  Download Firefox 3.6.16 here and return to the possibility of using your web browser, until they sort the darn bugs! I'm sure that eventually they will be fixed 4 issues so it works again. But seriously, 4 is a bad browser, ugly!

• Upgrade to Firefox 34.0 (linux) has disabled the search bar; How to fix without reset?

  After the upgrade to Firefox 34.0 Firefox 33.2.2 (?) I noticed that the search bar it did not display my search engines. Search engines still exist in the folder but are not visible. However, typing a word in the search bar causes a section of my display flashes all by pressing "enter" will correctly look for the word on Wikipedia, my first search engine. Unfortunately for me, by the time I typed this search bar seems to work fine now. Thus, in addition to a late evening, what the hell just happened, and will this crawling bug returns with each update? What is a linux question (IE. 5.3.3 puppy)?

  34 Firefox has a whole new search bar and associated Options tab.

  You can return to the former regime of the search with this bar.
  Open Subject: config (typed in the address bar) and turn this false preference
  browser.search.showOneOffButtons
  Then restart Firefox.

  a. press the keys "Ctrl + Alt + Delete" together, and then click Task Manager.
  b. in the Task Manager, click on "File" and click "new task".
  c. type rstrui.exe in the box, and then click on ok.

• the address bar of Firefox 40 will not act on the entered text.

  I can only access different websites using bookmarks. Although the address bar shows the current site accurately, you can enter the new text in the address bar and pressing Enter has no effect. Nothing happens. How can I fix?

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

• Firefox does not display a text on some pages.

• With the help of a graph "TIC TAC" instead of a "correct" text caption

  Still very new to Captivate - through a trial version of vrs5. Is there a way to replace a legend of tex in the slide of standard questionnaire to display a graph of the tick (or any other graphic) intsead of the standard caption slides, IE: incorrect / correct. I lived the pdf, but he doesn't know if that's possible.

  Hello

  Recently I answered a similar question in the forum, but the research is not functional, too bad!

  Try to summarize:

  • no easy way to replace the legends by an image, or maybe you could use a text (for check mark) symbol and make big enough and only character in legend
  • If you want an image more fancy, remove all the legends; This means that the normal two-step approach when the user sends a response will be reduced to a single step: by submitting to the playhead will continue and when you reach the end of the slide, it will go to the next slide. normally legends appear and then break the slide, waiting for the user to click again on the stage or choose Y; If it's OK, read you more
  • Insert your Correct images and Incorrect , but put in invisible (clear the Visible option in the general part of th properties panel)
  • join the correct action see the asSuccess action (framework of action in the properties panel)
  • join the action display incorrect as failure action (framework of action in the properties panel)
  • These images will appear when you click the button submit, look at the point to break in the chronology of the slide (especially set at 1.5secs); increase the duration of the slide, so that the user gets the time to look at the picture; This will be the chronology part after the suspension point

• Flash playback problems since upgrading to Firefox 40

  I asked yesterday and received no response, so I'm posting again. Here a lot to hear some thoughts on what it is and how I could fix is, so I can update to the latest edition of Firefox. Anyone? Thank you.

  I was invited to move to Firefox 40 today, and as soon as I did, I started to have problems with video playback on YouTube and various other sites. The video has been slow, the sound is distorted. I have the latest version of Flash installed. Everything worked perfectly before the upgrade.

  Just to see, I went down to Firefox 39.0.3 and playback problems disappeared. So needless to say, I will not be upgrading anytime soon. Is this likely a Firefox problem, a problem of Flash, a problem with my computer? I am running Windows XP. Any help, thoughts would be appreciated.

  For future use, if you want to "bump" your message, you can answer yourself, you need not to make a new post.
