• Why Firefox make a popup menu right-click now say 'Before' instead of 'do follow '?

  What happened recently on our old MacBook Pro running 10.6.8. While the functionality is not affected, change combined with the seeming inability to "fix" the word is a gene. So, we wonder if this may suggest a possible/potential malware or a security concern? Curious to know if anyone has or knows this minor problem.

• Why firefox can not open with the default profile. It should be renamed?

  trying to install "malwarebytes" for extra protection, the Norton toolbar on firefox has been reduced in size by losing my option "Vault". This prompted reinstalling on securities Notion which then prevented the opening of firefox. Internet Explore works well but I use firefox for years so why change. Firefox won't open (even after being uninstalled and downloaded and reinstalled. The message 'your firefox profile cannot be loaded, etc.' following the instructions of your forum, I locate a profile with the word 'profile' embedded file. The word "profile" in the flow path is preceded by a weird name (such as a foreign name). Path =
  'C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\bzjajhor.default-1419035389504 '. This file needs to be renamed and can they?

  Please help me to go back to firefox. Thank you

  Do not rename a profile folder.
  It seems that there is a problem with the profiles.ini.

  See:

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/how-run-Firefox-when-your-profile-missing-or-inacc

  This is usually caused by a problem with the file profiles.ini and the profile marked as the default value = 1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.

  • Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
    C:\Users\ < user > < profile > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.
  • Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
  • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox /.

  You can use one of them to make Firefox/reuse to create a new default profile:

  • Remove the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
  • Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
    Use "Choose a folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile

• Why not Firefox 22 import profiles?

  I have upgraded to Windows 8 and 22 FF, unfortunately there is no Manager profile and no way I can find to import any old preferences. The information in the Support section seems hopelessly obsolete.

  And a Google search brings nothing useful.

  Does anyone know if there is a way to import your old settings in FF?

  Thank you

  The Profile Manager is a method or a mode that can be launched by a number of different commands 'run '. It is available or not in a search, only via the command line - with closed Firefoxfolder.

  Firefox.exe Pei is the simplest and most common command.
  
  The most common command are the following, depending on your Windows operating system; assuming a default installation location - not a user selected "custom" location

  • On 32-bit Windows: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" PEI
  • On 64-bit Windows: "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" PEI

  But you don't need to create a new profile in the new installation of Firefox, you can use the 'new' profile Firefox created during installation; Simply copy the files on to this 'new' profile of the old profile folder folder. You must keep the same profile name, as installing Firefox expects to find, or you will have a major problem.

  What you need to do is to copy content from an old profile to new profile, replacing the new existing files by older files when Windows Explorer asks you what to do.

  If you copy the entire folder (and remove the 'new' profile), the profile folder name corresponds to what the new installation of Firefox is expected to find - this is why the message "missing profile". And if you do not remove the 'new' profile, Firefox will continue to use this profile - no one liked you just copied on.
  
  The name of profile (or names, in the case of several profiles) has the match exactly what is listed in the file profiles.ini, or Firefox won't 'see' this profile and won't be able to use it.

  Please review this section of this article to support and ignore everything above this section.

• Why firefox built-in PDF Viewer makes windows 10 crashes

  I have a computer with Windows 10. For about two to three months from now, from time to time, my computer/windows crashes when I open or save a PDF in Firefox, which is extremely upsetting.
  I just found out a few days ago that Firefox no longer uses the adobe reader plugin, but uses rather its own PDF Viewer built-in. When I changed the setting to use the external adobe reader software to open / download the pdf files, it seems that my computer no longer crashes.
  So my questions are: why the bult - in the PDF Viewer gives windows crash 10? Will be corrected this problem and when? and finally, why Firefox forces to use its own built-in PDF Viewer when it cannot work properly with windows 10?
  This was the most overwhelming problem that I had with my computer for a long time!

• Why Firefox will automatically open a new tab and go several times to the same specific web page? I don't have this Web page in my "Favorites" folders

  I have my browser open, work writing / reading email and BOOM, another tab opens and it's always the same web page. Why Firefox opens a new tab without any input from me? I don't have the suspect web page saved as a "favorite."

• Why firefox has become bloated and lazy like IE?

  I tried like hell to stick with firefox, but it became useless.

  Installation of costs, on a new installation of operating system on a PC with 8 cores@3ghz and 32 GB of ram, and firefox is STILL SLOW!

  More than 10 tabs == random crash for a few seconds / minutes
  Have more than 5 tabs and close one that it blocks a few seconds to a minute.
  Have more than 10 tabs open, select "Close other tabs" after the tabs, FF hangs for 30-90 seconds.

  After the closure of the tabs, CPU utilization pulls up to this core... I say for this kernel, because the limit of mozilla firefox for one heart, which wouldn't be so bad, except EVERYTHING ON THE SYSTEM HANGS waiting for THAT ONE CORE to CATCH THE FUCK UP!

  Add on top of that firefox looking more and more like the chrome... I mean.. Firefox is essentially like having the version slow, delayed, shit smell of chrome...

  PLEASE GO BACK TO WHAT MADE YOU FAMOUS!

  A light and fast browser.

  NOBODY WANTS OR NEEDS ALL THAT USELESS GARBAGE YOU KEEP SHOVELLING AWAY!

  Here's an idea, before avant d' ajouter to add more code buggy nonsense that serves nothing real other than to make you look more like a bastardised version of chrome, why don't you actually fix crap buggy, slow garbage code have already set you up?

  STOP TRYING TO BE LIKE THE CHROME! IF I WANTED CHROME FUCKING, I HAD TO INSTALL IT!

  If the next version of Firefox is nothing else than to fix the many problems causing slow performance and high CPU usage, I'll be moving to chrome and leave Firefox and Mozilla to continue its business of a slow and painful death walk down.

  @the-edmeister thanks for the typical canned answer, I am pleased to see that copy - paste works always.

  Canned responses do not work, because the situation is based on a new installation of the operating system and a new installation of firefox.
  All the drivers on the system is new and up-to-date.

  I ALWAYS run through the basic troubleshooting list. If I had found a solution for poor performance and hogging CPU memory/crappy, I him have not posted here.

  @jscher2000
  Thanks for the link, but I had already tried it, work with no joy.

  As for the rest of the answer, I have a few comments and questions:

  Statement: "Mozilla's mission is to drive the web forward, which is to introduce new technologies constantly in Firefox."

  Comment: Change the GUI to work and look like Chrome is not new and innovative. It is simply duplicating someone else's ideas.

  Statement: "at the same time, developers constantly working to improve the efficiency of memory."

  Comment: since when? Over the years, whenever FF has "updated" the memory usage has increased. On rare occasions, it has also introduced memory leaks, or attempted to hide or split to its own use of memory in the secondary threads... plugin-container for a good idea, is an example that has been poorly implemented.

  Statement: "because the browser code is open source, others have used it to create products that look more like older versions of Firefox, or gathered for 64-bit systems, etc..". You can check those and decide if they are more productive for you than the official version. »

  Question: Where might these alternatives. Simply Googling turns a myriad of other browsers, Chrome for most of the results. Versions of firefox based very little I could find are the pale Moon and waterfox.
  Others are based on the FF are for most * nix flavors or specialized for users of niche such as cat and iceweasle for gnu and debian ice respectively, and wyzo based on niche media downloads.

  I understand that Firefox is open source, and if I had the time team, Fund and development to devote to creating a browser standard, basic, no frills, using their source, I would have already.

  My problem is not with Firefox itself, but the struggle continues Mozilla comply Firefox for chrome UI, while gradually adding bloat, instability and some "features" unnecessary which are not needed or requested by users.

  I get that Mozilla tries to innovate. But adding bloat and tracking features of data or features that cannot be used unless the tracking data is enabled is a huge slap in the face of almost all those who have started using firefox because it objected to these measures implemented in other browsers at the time.

  The entire reason why firefox became so popular was because it worked, was quick and did not use all of the system cpu and ram. Why? because at that time, it had all the bells, whistles, gadgets, door knockers, the banana seat, ape-hanger handlebars and a chrome-plated stand... Remove all trash, and the browser would be more likely to cut its use of CPU and memory in two, if not more.

  And Yes... This has turned into a feedback session.
  No, I didn't intend to let him be.
  No, I will not create a survey of 'feedback '... I've done done several times over the years, and as is typical of mozilla, they simply ignore it and do the opposite.

• Why Firefox always tells me that Adobe plug-ins must be updated, when I've just updated beyond the versions them says Firefox update?

  On the status of the plug-in page, Firefox said I have potentially vulnerable Adobe Flash player c. 19.0.0.185 and should be updated. I have already taken this opinion but Adobe confirms that my version is 19.0.0.226. I ran the update at least twice (and of course I restarted Firefox several times and refreshed the page for good measure). Why Firefox think I always c. 19.0.0.185?

  Essentially the same story with Adobe Reader plug-in 15.9.20069.28170. Firefox said I have this outdated version and should be updated. I ran the update at least twice (but unlike with Flash Player I don't know how to confirm that the update is installed). The version that Firefox says I have and advice to update, has not changed.

  I've updated two plug-ins yesterday. Immediately after the update, when I refreshed the page status of the plugin, these plug-ins have disappeared from lists "vulnerable" or "outdated". It's only the Adobe Flash Player and Reader plug-in updates (which I did yesterday) that Firefox seems to blind. I waited a day to see if Firefox would recognize the edits today, but it still does not work. On this page of presentation of the question, "Assumptions" of Firefox on my current browser list older versions of Adobe Flash Player and Reader that I've already updated since.

  Plugins are installed on the system and not in Firefox. So he can tell you were the same when you installed know that it is usually because you have two system installed an older version of Flash Player.

  https://helpx.Adobe.com/Flash-Player/KB/uninstall-Flash-Player-Windows.html

  Maybe try to uninstall all versions of Flash Player (basic plugin) and install the current https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (basic plugin), while Firefox is closed.

• Why firefox go to my keyboard

  Last night, I was testing the settings on my Comodo Firewall program. He alerted me to the fact that firefox has tried to access my keyboard. Why would it be? Can you please explain this to me. Thanks, you're the best browser. Thanks again

  Hello

  I don't see anything malicious here, so there is nothing to worry about. Firefox uses keyboard shortcuts and for various reasons, i.e. web content accessibility features select (copy and paste), zoom in or out, navigate the Web etc. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/accessibility-features-firefox-make-firefox-and-we site

• Why Firefox change of a search engine by default when I got small previews before where I just click on, now I have a here serach engine I want

  When I click on a new tab, I had small screenshots of my last visits. now, I have a power of search engine Bing, which I don't want. Why FIREFOX change that and force the shit out of me that I don't like or want.

  Here is the link that is display:

  Now I would like to be the one to choice what I want and how to configure it, I don't need a browser to make that choice for me, if it continues I'll go to safari or opera. Thank you

  Firefox didn't do. At some point, you may have added an add-on or installed
  a program and the installer has changed things on you. Mouse in the search window.
  On the left, click the icon. Look for and click on Manage search engines. Put everything
  upward as you wish.
  
  If something prevents you from working on it;
  Download the Mozilla search reset
  
  This module is very simple: installation, it backs up and then resets
  your search and homepage to their default values, preferences
  and then to uninstall. This affects the search bar, the URL bar
  research and the homepage.
  
  Look through your list of modules and make sure you know what each of them is
  and so. In addition,
  Windows > start > Control Panel > uninstall programs.
  Go through the list and a web search to check that you have not
  know what they are.

• Why Firefox spell-check using non-English and American spelling.

  Everytime I type something and use a word that can be spelled differently in English and American, Firefox always pointed out my spelling English red, which means that the spelling is incorrect when it is not incorrect, it highlights the fact that I should use the spelling American. for example '

  When I type COLOR which is the English spelling, it is highlighted in red.

  If I type COLOR it is pointed out that he said is correct but it's the American spelling and I don't want to use the American spelling.

  That's why Firefox uses the American spelling and I DON'T WANT my emails to companies wishing to be entered in the American language, if I lived in America, so be it, but I live in England and to use English thank you very much.

  Right-click in a text entry box and go to 'Language', then 'Add Dictionaries' (if you don't see this option, make sure that you have "Check spelling" checked). You will be redirected to a page containing a list of dictionaries. Add your favorite like any normal module language. Once installed, right click in an area of new text entry & select 'Language', then the newly installed dictionary.

• Why FireFox 13 works differently on my desktop and laptops? On my desk, I have the old menu system that I prefer, but on my laptop, it's the new version.

  13 Firefox is the browser by default on my desktop and laptop, however, they have different menu systems. Why?

  On my desk, I have the old menu system that I prefer no doubt because everything is in English and easy to see and search. For example, on the menu desktop there a Tools option where I can quickly erase my history and cache.

  But on my laptop, it's the new paradigm where several menu commands are hidden and difficult to find, therefore, I do not like this new design. I don't understand why Firefox made this change, when the old system was much better and more effective.

  Is there a way I can get the old system menu back on my laptop?

  Thank you

  1. I'm not running XP, I use Win 7 on both systems.

  2. nothing happened when I pressed the ALT key, the menu bar does not show upward and I'm frustrated. However, I kept trying, hold the ALT key and finally he appeared. I then checked the menu bar, and it seems as if it worked.

  Thanks for your help.

• Why Firefox from writing so given all the time?

  I'm running Windows 7 x 64 and Firefox 8. In my task manager, I display the bytes of i/o to write to all processes. I found that Firefox is ALWAYS the process with the largest amount of bytes in writing, after that it worked an hour or two even though there are dozens of other processes. The only Web page is Google and all my plugins are disabled.

  Why Firefox from writing so given all the time?

  Firefox can be updated from the database of phishing protection or maintenance with other files as places.sqlite. It should be limited to a point if this was done.

  Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions of the origin of the problem.
