Tools, Options problem

I'm checking my privacy settings by selecting tools, then Options, but nothing happens. How to solve this problem?

You have this problem when running in Firefox SafeMode?

Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

    Hello buddies.

I tried to find a way to make this wide, but do it in the real move tool options has no effect on this. What can I do? It comes as the tool #1 alt I use! He kills me.

  • tools options appear in a separate tab suddenly; I want him in a box as before; about: config I have no preference inContent browser

    Suddenly firefox began to automatically open the unbroken tabs. I had to shut down the computer. After you restart firefox, the
    tools/options began to open in a separate tab and not in a box as before. I tried to follow your instructions, but seen that
    inContent browser preferences has already been set to false. If the problem is not there. Then I refreshed firefox. Since then in the configuration page, inContent browser preferences disappeared. And tools/options continues to open in a tab. I want it to open in a box as before. Could you please tell me what to do?
    Thank you.

    Hi b.ray, the browser.preferences.inContent preference was just in place temporarily for a period of transition. now that there are new features and settings, go to preferences and was former windowed interface is more maintained, its users would have missed out on them, so the support fell completely in firefox 42.

    If you still miss the old style - the Restorer Classic theme https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ addon contains some improvements to make the more familiar the style options...

    As of today, when I click on Tools / Options, it will open in a new TAB. I want the window options quick return, how can I do this? < <

    Now about: config, affecting < browser.preferences.advanced.selectedTabIndex > < false > does not open a popup window, but rather a new tab.

    The browser.preferences.inContent is no longer supported in Firefox 42 and later (bug 1140495), is not possible to open an independent window by setting this pref to false.

    Optionally, create a button on the toolbar of bookmarks for the subject: preferences and hold the Shift key and left click to open the page in a new window.

    You can watch the extension Classic theme restaurateur.

  • Clean install on Windows 7 SP1 x 64. Tools / Options-&gt; AppHangB1

    I use Firefox for years, but I can't find a way to work around this problem. The problem started after I upgraded to v38.0.5 but I tried to go back to v35.0 and it has not solved the problem. I tried the safe mode and finally uninstalled, delete Mozilla registry entries and performed a clean installation. I am still unable to view the options.

    As soon as I click on Tools / Options menu I get an AppHangB1. Initially, the problem manifests itself by trying to add attachments in Gmail. A large part of the browser works, I write this problem in Firefox, but some actions cause the browser to hang. The easiest to reproduce is Tools / Options, the showshopper will not be able to upload / download files.

    I hope someone knows how I can get firefox to work again. I am running without the extensions, just a clean install.


  • WHEN I click ON TOOLS/OPTIONS IT DOES NOT OPEN! HE SAID about: preferences, BUT THE FORK SITE IS EMPTY WHY?

    WHEN I click ON TOOLS/OPTIONS IT DOES NOT OPEN! HE SAID about: preferences BUT the OPEND SITE IS EMPTY WHY?

    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

    What's new on: preferences page has replaced the previously used stand-alone Options/preferences window.

    You can enable/disable browser.preferences.inContent false on the topic: page config to restore the autonomous Options/preferences window you had in previous versions of Firefox.

    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.

  • 36.04 FF when I click on tools/options, options do not come up. Options search engine developed instead.

    When I click on Tools/Options in 36.4 FF, it evokes rather than options search engines. How can I bring options to change preferences? I use Windows 7 Home Premium.

    I discovered the real cause of the problem. If the task bar is not hidden at the bottom of the page, then the window options of not fully displayed. Fell off the top with the tabs. I had to hide the taskbar. Thank you.

  • I can't download to work - it does not copy the mp3 files to my location (as defined in tools/options) - it gives me a new window with a player - no dwnlo

    I am running windows xp sp2 and I put my site to dowload under (Tools/options), but when I select an MP3 file to download, firefox does NOT copy the file to my location of choice on my HD - instead, it opens a new window with a 'player' of fortune and starts to load the player with the MP3 file. The problem is that I have no idea where on my system, firefox has copied this file, so, I can't leave and come back later and read this MP3 file using winamp. I need to hear right then or lose - if I close this new window (with this puny little ' player'), then I lose the download, there where to put firefox on my PC (I have no idea where it is). It's all under firefox 25.0

    I also use FIrefox 12.0 on an older windows 2000 machine and that works perfectly - I can download any MP3 file, I want to, and downloads of firefox 12.0 (on win2k, sp4) to my location (on my HD), and it gives me the download window so I can watch its progress and have some control over break and resume , and, when it's done, the download window offers me the option 'open containing folder' so I can make sure that where I wanted. In other words, Firefox 12.0 on WIn2k, sp4 works better than firefox on winxp sp2 25.0! What gives? I went through and set up my options for XP just like I did with Win2k and everything looks good, but firefox 25.0 don't know just my chosen and always default place to give me fortune player and I am not able to actually copy the mp3 files on my hard drive - it's firerox almost unusable 25.0 since downloading mp3 files is a big part of my use firexfox - please help. I am not able to upgrade windows at this time, and since firefox 12.0 still works fine on win2k, I do not understand what has happened to firefox?

    Hello littleberry, you can click on the link that leads to an mp3 file or right click on the drive in firefox and choose to download the file like that...

  • I do not see the accounts of my password under Tools &gt; options &gt; securityTab &gt; Showpasswords

    Until probably the last week, I was able to go to tool-> Options-> Security and click "Saved passwords". I can still do it, but when I hit "show passwords" that is displayed for the account and website fields are this: «...» "without the quotes.

    Is this a change in firefox or something is more harmful in progress? I can always use the search bar to find the accounts, but it does list representing the passwords are part.

    Check if the width of the column "Site" in the "Saved passwords" window has not inadvertently been shorted at least 3. Hover over the divider between the column for "Site" and "UserName" titles and drag it to the right.

    Let us know if this solves the problem.

  • I delete all cookies. Irepeat tools/options/life private / show cookies. they all return

    I click on tools/options/privacy / show cookies. I delete all cookies and click on OK.
    I repeat the process to display the cookies. They're all here.
    Also I can not delete single cookies

    You may have installed an extension like TACO (Abine) or do not Track Plus that manages a set of OPT-OUT cookies if you can't delete cookies permanently.

    In this case, you will need to uninstall the extension to remove the opt-out 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 (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do not click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.

    If clearing cookies doesn't work, then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.

    Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other files to present as cookie cookies.sqlite - journal in the profile folder of Firefox in the case where the cookies.sqlite file has been corrupted.
