• Why firefox does not allow users to configure to play other types of media in the browser via its plugins?

  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:

• "Save Image under" does not name file correctly

  Sometimes, when I save an image file, Firefox does not pick up the name of the file indicated in the address bar. Instead, he gets a generic Web site name.

  For example, this problem seems to appear regularly on SimpleDesktops.com. If I load an image file, click on "Save Image as", the name will appear as "simpledesktops.com.png" instead of the name "SimpleDesktops001.png" (for example).

  This problem has occurred since the return to version 4, however, at this time there Firefox strove to register these png as documents htm files.

  I have tried different browsers and safe mode, but the problem persists.

  Any help appreciated.
  Thank you

  OK, the file save to add-on, you want to use Save Page in. To allow that, you have to click in the black box that above or to the left (or to the right or bottom) of the image.

  If the image is zoomed entirely, click the image once to fit within the browser window, and at least some outside the box should be visible. In the rare case that the image is a fit perfect, then you will have to use one of the other options, or change the shape of the window.

• 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!

• 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.

  Give a name to your bookmarklet, and then click Add.

• Why Firefox does not scroll the page when choosing & the cursor reaches the bottom of the screen

  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).

• Why Firefox does not respond when I open it? It breaks down until I can change or delete my profile

  Fortunately, I have used Firefox for about a year. Today, it could not open one or more of my four home page web sites.

• Why firefox does not save some username and passwords and names of other not - especially for the same website?

  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 insist on downloading yamagata.repo.nii.ac.jp/sakuma_1-171_187.html instead of take me to this page, so I can access PDF files listed there?

  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:

• Why firefox does not cause a download to have an extension .part. How can I get rid of him.

• Why Firefox does not save the .mht on Windows files?

  .mht, and .mhtml files are not saved when Firefox is installed.

  By default Firefox do render MHT or MHTML, so it is not all the registry strings or file associations defined by the installer of Firefox. You should be able to fix these file associations in the control panel.

  There is also the UnMHT add-on for Firefox.
  
  https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/UnMHT/

  5 or 6 years ago, when I tested both MAF and UnMHT, I found UnMHT to be a better addition thanks to its production more precise files MHT - displayed in IE8 better than files saved by MAF, right here.
