What happened to link previews in Firefox 25.0.1?

Firefox versions prior to the current one (25.0.1 for Windows) displays a pop-up URL when you hover your mouse over a hyperlink in a Web page. This feature seems to have disappeared (or disabled) on my Windows 7 laptop, but it still works on my Win XP desktop (also version 25.0.1). How can I turn on my laptop? I would like to know where I am about to be sent until I click on a hyperlink imprecise.

Thank you
Terry

Have you checked the setting in an extension of status-4-Evar 2013.10.31.22 for these pop-ups link preview?

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 startup window Mode without failure.

  • What happens if I sync two firefoxes Office? My Favorites will be organized by computer or are there duplicates?

    How to set up firefox sync is well described, but there is virtually no information on what happens after the installation. I have two computers with different bookmarks and settings and I want to keep it like that, but I still want to have access to the data of the other computer.

    Synchronization will import all the settings and merge or settings remain separated somehow? This will affect only bookmarks or also of the sessions, i.e. the open tabs and windows? I would agree with merging of bookmarks, but browsing sessions must remain unique, although it would be nice to somehow access the list of the tab open on the other computer.

    Firefox Sync "synchronizes" data types, the user selects on connected devices.
    If you select bookmarks in sync settings, your bookmarks on this device will be synchronized with those on the server. If favorite is not enabled on a particular device, bookmarks on this device are not part of each synchronization session.
    If you only select tabs you want to synchronize, your story will not Sync-only what is selected on a device will be part of each synchronization session.

  • What happened to MP3 support in Firefox 24?

    As I installed Firefox 24 on my laptop, I am not able to play the MP3 files on Firefox via HTML5.
    I did a HTML5 test that confirms that my browser does not support the MP3:

    http://beta.html5test.com/s/7ae8f31bc64db93f.html

    Here it is said Firefox has started to support version 22 but it is not supported in the 24th, and it's true for me because I could play MP3 files on version 22 or 23 (I don't remember which), no problem, but now I can't with 24.

    http://html5test.com/Compare/feature/audio-MP3.html

    In addition, according to this:

    http://beta.html5test.com/Compare/feature/audio-MP3.html

    It is new supported by Firefox 26, but I don't want to have to use a night generation.

    The strange thing is that one of my friends says he can play very well on Firefox 24 MP3 files.

    What can I do?

    I see that you posted a previous question about his problem on 8 October 2013.

    • / issues/973656 I can not play audio MP3 directly or with HTML5 on Firefox

    You wrote in this thread that direct links to MP3 files as in This example mp3, also do not work for you in the built-in player of Firefox.

    You also wrote,

    I have a laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium x64, which I had to reinstall recently because of some hard drive problems. I used to be able to play MP3 audio files directly on Firefox, when I clicked a link to a MP3 file a new tab would open and the audio would start playing. But now I get a window asking me whether I want to open it (with Windows Media Player by default), or save it, and I can't play MP3 files with HTML5 <audio> tag, supposedly my browser doesn't support it.
    

    I think it might have something to do with the fact that you have recently reinstalled Windows 7. Did you also install SP1 and Windows upgrades later?

  • What happened to MP3 support in Firefox 26?

    I can not play MP3 or DVD any longer.
    Everything that used to work perfectly, but today they do not.
    I have downloaded Real Player again and it worked for half the MP3 and stopped.
    I tried to download Google Chrome and it did not work at all.
    Uninstalled Google Chrome.
    My wife and I are members of a study group that use MP3 files for each lesson.
    We sat by my monitor and watched literally hundreds of lessons in a satisfactory manner.
    It's frustrating to be unable to continue.
    Something wrong, but how to fix it?

    Firefox changed how 26 MP3s are played on Windows XP. Is the problem on a system of XP, or XP mode on Windows 7?

    In Windows Vista and later, Firefox can use the Media Foundation, components of Windows, to decode the MPEG media and play natively, instead of using a plugin. If you want to try to turn that off, there is a hidden parameter.

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste the media and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference media.windows - media - foundation.enabled to change its value from true to false.

    (4) double click on the preference media.windows - media - foundation.play - stand alone to change its value from true to false.

    Does make a difference?

  • What happened to the window start Firefox with images and background chill music?

    Since the upgrade to a new computer running Windows 8 (64-bit) my start page of Mozilla has not all the themes of big picture and background chill options of music that I really enjoyed. How can I get that back?

    Hello, the themes of the photo and background music were never part of the homepage by default in firefox - maybe you had a personalized homepage or an addon on your old computer to achieve - if you find that you have used before it will be certainly possible to set up the same way on your new pc...

  • What happened to 'manage bookmarks' in Firefox 4?

    I want to choose a bunch of bookmarks to move them to a new folder, but I can't understand how to do this without the option "manage bookmarks".

    • "Bookmarks > organize bookmarks ' has been renamed to"show all bookmarks"in the beta versions of Firefox 4.
  • In Firefox v26, what happened to the choices on the shortcut menu "send link"? I need this feature.

    In upgrading to Firefox v26, I noticed that the "send link" option is not on the shortcut menu. What happened to this option? This can be corrected? I often use this feature.

    Thank you.

    Thanks for your reply. I also did some other research and found the add-on following which deals with this problem more directly:

    Using the right-click menu is faster and requires fewer clicks.

  • What happened to the download status bar in Firefox 42?

    I can't say when a download is finished, what happened to the status bar in Firefox version 42?

    Type of topic: customization< enter > in the address bar.
    In the new window, look for the icon. When you find it, press and hold
    the left button on it and move it to where you want it to be.
    You can move the icons you want here, but
    some icons are locked in place.

    Also, there is a default button in the Middle at the bottom.

    Photo 1, that's what it looks like in the window customize.
    Photo 2, this is what it looks like on the toolbar.

  • What happened today? (18.October.2015) Firefox has removed all add-ons "or" bring to install

    Hi all
    So, today, my father called me to help you, because he could not start Firefox.
    After awhile, he showed that Firefox has crashed and the previous session could not be retrieved.
    So we restarted Firefox and discovered, that all modules have been removed, then Firefox seems to work normally.
    I thought that it's a misfortuned event and I left, because Firefox seems to work normally after that.

    Later that night, I had a similar thing happens to me, I start Firefox, and it opens with the default view (I use modules that modify that) with 11 tabs, one for the page by default, and on the other, asking me if I want to install an add-on said or delete it. (all 10 modules were those that I installed the way back and there is no additional/unknown modules)

    So I wanted to ask if someone could tell me what could have happened. I could not find official news that something has gone wrong. Was it a coincidence that we both had a similar, if not the same strange problem?
    I'm using Firefox 40.0.3 and my dad uses Firefox 41.0.2 (current version), we both use different computers and we both use different routers.

    Thank you in advance!

    BIG EDIT:
    So apparently there was a big broad cyber attack on the 18th. October 2015, my father the other laptop (not the PC I mentioned) may not even load Windows more.
    I guess that this is not a specific question of Firefox more, so this thread can be closed.

  • My Start Page for Firefox doesn't have one more box to typing me my research in. What happened to the box?

    What happened to the search box, I type in? He disappeared on my Firefox Start Page.

    Yes. This is the new default value: Home home.

    Topic: home page only shows a few clips and has a button to restore the previous session, as appropriate.

    If you want a homepage with extras like previous versions of Firefox then put another page than the homepage like www.google.com such as used in versions of Firefox 3 or on the iGoogle homepage ([www.google.com/ig]).

  • Firefox keeps popping up wanting me to level. What happens if I don't? I tried newer versions, but my computer constantly has problems with it. So I downgraded to 3.6.

    Basically, I just want to know what happens if I decide to not upgrade to the latest version? I keep getting pop ups to improve my 3.6 but it always takes me to the download of 6.0! I DON'T want to 6.0 - it sucks! My computer is not even a year, but Firefox 6.0 caused a lot of problems. Plug ins-all developed day-current, but 6.0 would not some of my programs to run correctly. So I uninstalled and reinstalled 3.6. This version seems to be the only one that doesn't cause problems! If you need more information, please you eel free to contact me @: deleted

  • I use the excellent Firefox 5.o. What happened to the feature "bookmark all tabs" which is located under the bookmarks? I love Mozilla Firefox! :-)

    I looked under bookmarks position as well as history. What happened to the "bookmark all tabs" extremely useful. Loved this feature of Firefox. Thank you!!!

    Click right on a tab to see this menu item or use {Ctrl + Shift + D}.

    In collaboration with the new button of Firefox in Firefox 4.0 and with the addition of some new features that adds a number of new items to the menu, many of the menu items older have been moved or appear only in certain conditions. It can be a bit confusing until you get used to the changes, but beyond the addition of new menu items for the new features in the future, I don't think that there will be major changes like this for awhile.

  • What happened to my show desktop icon in the Quick Start menu when I upgraded to Firefox 4?

    I value and often use the button SHOW DESKTOP which has always been in my QUICK START MENU... until I recently upgraded to the latest version of Firefox because he promised to be faster (and my experience online in spite of paying for "high speed" is anything but fast!). I see that the icon was not just moved but DELETED and I'm not at all happy about it. What happened and how I get it back? Thank you. (By the way, I don't want a fancy with a bunch of words irritable instructions. I need the answer in a format that can follow a student of 1st year. (Thank you.)

    You can create a new shortcut easily enough. Just drag it into the Quick Launch bar on with the right mouse button and then choose "Create shortcut here" from the menu you get.
