Why firefox does not disappear on me?
When I open firefox 8.0 on my hp laptop SP1 of windows 7, the window opens and quickly disappears as if it was off the screen. This started happening after that I hung on a double-moniter and have since removed the dual monitor. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, nothing helps. any help would be greatly appreciated since firefox is my favorite web browser!
- Open this window via the taskbar to set the focus to it.
- Open the system menu via Alt + space and see if you can resize the window.
If it works then close Firefox (file > exit/Quit) to save the setting.

Firefox has a plugin that allows you to play. Stream AVI files in the browser.
There are of course more types of file stream only. AVI that vlc media player (a very popular program) can play.
Why doesn't firefox allow these types of streams, that is to say - FLV to play using the browser firefox via the plugin?
Firefox does not even allow users to manually set this behavior.
I think it's ridiculous to have the potential to be a great another browser, but not yet the chance to compete because of this inconceivable gap.I got an advance on the answer here:

Why Firefox does not delete cookies by leaving to open tabs?
Firefox does not delete cookies for the tabs that are left open when you quit the browser even with empty cookie options set. Cookies are only eligible for the tabs that are closed before leaving the browser. I do not understand how this could possibly be a design decision because it completely defeats the purpose of the privacy settings.
Under Options > Privacy I enabled/selected, the following options.
- Accept cookies (no "Exceptions... »)
- Continue until the "closing of Firefox".
- Clear history of Firefox closing
- * Download history
- * Cookies
- * Active Logins
- * Cache
- * Data from the Web site offline
These cookies are stored in session data.
You can set the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level pref 2 (never) or 1 (no HTTPS, default in the Firefox 3 versions) on the topic: config page to disable the registration of cookies via session restore.

Why Firefox does not work with Hotmail more?
Hotmail opens but I can't click on anything whatsoever, can not open e-mails or open folders.
Hello
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 on the menu button , click Help , and 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.
If Safe Mode did not help, delete all references to Hotmail, as described under the heading "How to remove a single website to my story?" in this article - delete navigation, search and download history on Firefox, then try again the site (not related to an old favorite). Note: It may take a few minutes to complete the removal.
When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem. Thank you!

The selection of text on a page of the screen when the cursor reaches the lower edge of the screen in Firefox (version 9.0.1) does not scroll. Other programs (including IE) do, so it doesn't seem to be a local computer problem.
I don't see a setting in the page options that enables / disables this then what is the solution?Activate the module bar (Firefox > Options or view > toolbars;) CTRL + /) or find bar to make Firefox scroll the page while selecting the text (Ctrl + F).

Fortunately, I have used Firefox for about a year. Today, it could not open one or more of my four home page web sites. He could not start a new session or restore - a blank window opens and displays a message that responded No. I've deleted and reinstalled. I would like to change my profile, but the software does not work.
Please check with an empty profile? http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

I use several different accounts LogMeIn, each with their own username and password. Is there a month, Firefox stopped asking to save the user name and password for the new accounts I have access. I even deleted all accounts and began more - most of the time I will ask you to save the information of connection but other LogMeIn accounts that I access Firefox will not be asked to save the passwords. You can provide any help will be greatly appreciated.
I had this taken care. After removing all the old names of login and passwords, you must restart Firefox with a hot start.

Why Firefox does not load javascript accessed by a link?
I have a FF Add-ons disabled 15.0.1.
Every time a success, a link to a JavaScript, the script does not run, it loads just like a text in a browser window.
For example, on http://markup.io , there is a script to make annotations on web pages (http://api.markup.io/bootstrap.js?v=1 &). Other browsers running the script, but not FF.A .js file is executed directly from the URL bar. Could you describe how you want to run it? For example, if you want to inject script into the current page or to work on the current page, you can try to save as a bookmarklet. To do this:
Right-click on an empty area of the bookmarks toolbar, then choose new bookmark.
In location, type or paste javascript: and then paste the script. At the end of the script, add 0 Sub; (if necessary, add a semicolon in front of it if it is separated by the pasted script).
Give a name to your bookmarklet, and then click Add.

When you use Windows 7 Pro and Explorer 11, I used to be able to access the PDF documents in the library of the University of Yamagata, such as those listed in this index. I have since switching to Windows 10 and Firefox, and Yamagata repository interface has changed. Because so many things are different, I struggled to solve the problem: I can't get Firefox to take me to page yamagata.repo.nii.ac.jp/sakuma_1-171_187.html. Because it downloads it instead, I can't have PDFs on this topic.
I have made both https://yamagata.repo.nii.ac.jp and https://repo.lib.yamagata-u.ac.up trusted sites in Windows 10 and in Firefox, though it is unclear to what extent that alters Firefox's behavior. On the other hand, MS Edge also fails. Evidently, something more needs to be done. Archived messages on line suggest that the problem could be a hang-up when "index.php" is encountered and/or that "html" files are treated differently from "htm" files. Perhaps so: but how does one fix it?
The server sends the header content-disposition: attachment with the file, which triggers the download dialog box. (Screenshot) There is no built-in way to substitute that.
But there is an add-on for that. This extension was already proposed, but in the case where you missed it because its purpose was not explained, here is the link again:

The 20 version worked well. The only and only choice now is "get out me of here." Renew the certificate, but even "I understand the risks" has not helped in version 21. Now, I have to run IE to get the open online dating.
Hello Seppva, please try this: enter Subject: config in the bar firefox address (confirm the message information where it appears) & search for the preference named plugins.load_appdir_plugins. Double-click it and change its value to true (a restart of the browser may be needed later for the change to take effect).

Why firefox does not accept when I confirm security exception?
I went on this site for many years and now after erasing my history, etc. I can't get in. Firefox said connection is not approved. When I click on confirm security exception, just, it is there and does nothing. Can someone help me? I miss playing on my favorite site!
What security (firewall, antivirus) software do you have?
Some security software intercepts them secure connections and sends its own certificate.
Some examples are ESET and Bitdefender.
- ESET setup-> Advanced Configuration-> expand web and email-> SSL shaft
- SSL protocol: do not scan SSL protocol
- BitDefender-> privacy-> settings disable SSL Scan

Why Firefox does not play background sound in Web pages?
I have added a background music file to my website using FrontPage 2000. The audio will play in the "Overview" tab but won't play in the Firefox browser window. "< bgsound src ="http://www.Your-Daily-Income.com/TVS/Audio/waves.mp3"loop ="-1">"
When I discovered the source of the page (http://screencast.com/t/w0p7Z2iLvMi0)and click on the hyperlink "bgsound src" file, I get this: (http://screencast.com/t/D49tu8NsKPH)
Any help is appreciated.
CCMCBGSOUND is not compatible with other browsers like Firefox and only works on IE.
You must use other means as an embed or object for older browsers or audio tags for recent browsers.
If you use the type = "application/x-mplayer2" Windows Media Player will be used to read the file.
Without a specific type of the QuickTime plugin attribute will be used under Windows.<object data="http://www.your-daily-income.com/TVS/Audio/waves.mp3" type="application/x-mplayer2" > <audio src="http://www.your-daily-income.com/TVS/Audio/waves.mp3" controls>

Why Firefox does not open?

I need Firefox as browser favorite for my class online and must find a way to solve the problem.

See "create a profile":
