I can connect to the site portal of ADP pays without problem and there is no problem go to the page pay but when I select the good salary to display the PDF file will not be displayed.

  You can set the pref pdfjs.disabled true on the topic: config page to disable the build-in the PDF Viewer.

• Why is able to save and update the passwords for sites other than those of Blackboard FF?

  I am able to save and update passwords on other sites, but not on the Blackboard learn for my University. They force us to change our pw is from time to time, and I think I noticed it after that Blackboard did some updates to their site. It will always load autofill with my old account and password, but not update it. I deleted the password stored and tried to get FF to remember once again on my laptop, but it has not yet asked to save him. I'm guessing that there is a new code or a script for the journal in the procedure? Is there a manual way to enter and update the credentials stored?

  Hello, sites can specify that passwords should not be stored (however I do know that if this is the case on the page you are having problems with, since you did not specify which University it affects). as a way to get around this, you can use an addon like this: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/remember-passwords

• How will I know if a connection site is secure? In Safari or Explorer, there is an icon lock visual, but not in Firefox. Is there an add-on that meets this need?

  How will I know if a connection site is secure? In Safari or Explorer there is a locking visual icon in the web browser window, but not in Firefox. Is there an add-on that meets this need?

  The padlock shows only that there is a secure connection and does not guarantee that you are connected to the right server. So you could always be connected to the wrong server if you make a typing mistake in the URL and someone said that mistyped the URL. The lock feature has been replaced by the identity button of the Site on the left end of the address bar (address).

  https://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/site+identity+button

  http://www.Mozilla.com/en-us/Firefox/security/identity/

  This has actually existed since Firefox 3.0

  If you still want an icon of padlock also then there is this Extension.

• Overview contact address book displays a date other than what is entered in the field of the anniversary.

  When opening the address book and clicking on an entry, the view in the bottom pane shows a date other than the date that is entered in the birthday field. It shows the day before the actual date is entered. See the images below:

  Thank you!

  It is a regrettable but known problem (bug 1139167).

  There is a calculation error in the conversion of a string to a date which depends on the time zone and whether or not DST is in effect. For historical reasons, dates are stored as milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 0:00 UTC. Dates and individual hours must be translated before and return to text.

  A patch is approved and will be in the next 38.0 release.

• Why firefox crashes on many web sites

The use of the Mozilla site, I checked the plug-ins, and he said: everything is up-to-date or it says unknown on some plug-ins which I don't use. My flash is listed as being up-to-date.

  Hello Mike.

  It is possible that you have a problem with some Add on Firefox which is an obstacle to the normal behavior of your Firefox. Have you tried to disable all add-ons (just to see) to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

  Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you must make sure that it is not caused by one (or more) of your installed modules, whether an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do this easily and cleanly, start Firefox in safe mode (remember to select disable all add-ons when you start safe mode). If the problem goes away, you know that it's an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode and allow them one by one until you find the source of the problem. See this article for more information on troubleshooting extensions and theme and this one for plugins.

  If you need help with one of your modules, you will need to contact the author.

• Why am I redirected to the site web https

  I have a site now, it doesn't matter the name of the site, really, but when I goto, it redirects me http: https:, it is a blank site with an empty index file, this happens only on this one site and ONLY happens in firefox, chrome, IE, edge, etc., all of this hard work. I have cleared the cache, history, everything, uninstalled firefox, resintalled, etc., always it redirects me to HTTPS on this one area, this is a new area, I installed on my hosting, it is obviously a bug with firefox, is it possible to prevent him from doing that? (I even made the subject: config and turned stuff url so what - not) It's firefox 49.01

  You know what is maybe faster is:

  • Open the dialog library of your story, be
    • CTRL + SHIFT + h
    • "Show all history".
  • Right click on an entry from the history of the site and "forget this Site".

  Which should remove all data, including the cache, history, cookies, bookmarks, AND all saved flag HSTS.

• I would like to disable firefox preventing redirection to another site if I ask the redirect.

  I'm regularly sent emails to Ebay auction that looked interesting to me, when I click on the element to get directed to ebay, firefox sends a message that says "firefox prevented this page automatically redirecting to another page" there is a X box and the allow option. It happens regularly and sometimes boring. It started when I downloaded the latest version of Firefox.
  Thank you

  Hi marybrenda, is downtown bar an add-on? You should not need to use an add-on to access the dialog box Options (name of Windows) or Preferences (Mac & Linux name) dialog box.

  The '3-bar' menu button usually appears towards the right end of the main toolbar and has an icon of 3 strong horizontal lines ().

• Why Firefox keep save my last sites traveled as a group and then open this group when I start next time? It will not stop, and I get really mad
