• Why Mozilla Firefox uses Google as their search on the web if Google stores everything we look for?

  Why Mozilla Firefox use Google as their search engine if Google stores everything you are looking for and tracking what you do online? I have nothing against Firefox, I wonder why.

  This partnership is as old as Firefox itself, but each user can use any search engine they cars not to use - no reason, you should use Google simply because it is the default in Firefox.

  The search engines in the search bar can be removed.
  
  The search engine used in the Awesome Bar can be changed through subject: config.
  
  The search engine on the subject: home page can be changed, although not as easily as with the Awesome Bar.

  As to 'why', who knows? When Google offered to help Mozilla with financial support through their search engine is the search engine by default for Firefox, Mozilla had to say no to something that any other search engine is also at this time?

• Whenever I open Firefox, it restores my previous session without being invited.

  I set parameters so that when I start Firefox to go on my home page, which is just the Mozilla Firefox start page. Despite this option is defined, it always restore my previous session every time I open Firefox.

  One of the possible reasons are a statement in a user.js file. Firefox checks a file user.js at startup, and it replaces your own preferences. This article describes how to check for this problem as possible: How to fix preferences that will not save.

  Another possible reason is if Firefox does not close properly and is still recovering from a perceived fall. To see if this is the issue, you can change what Firefox works after an accident so that instead of automatically display tabs from the previous session, it shows you a list of the tabs. Here's how:

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

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

  (C) double-click the preference browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes and enter 0 (that's a zero) and click OK.

  The next time Firefox starts if you get the screen saying 'it's embarrassing"and display a list of your last session tabs, then the problem is that Firefox crashes on shutdown.

  Does this help with your startup?

• Why Mozilla Firefox can't find the last downloaded URL page

  Can someone please solve this mystery:

  • I edited a number of my web pages today and then download the whole site using FileZilla.
  • To access my web pages from a browser Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, I see the latest version of all pages.
  • To access my web pages of Mozilla Firefox, a number of old versions of pages is available, while some are the last downloaded version.

  The problem is that Mozilla is my favorite browser, so I that the problem be resolved.

  Any help would be most appreciated.

  Thank you - Roy Marnewick

  Hey Roy, it's hard to say.

  For visitors who do not all pages of the site being cached, they should get only what is currently available. You can emulate this by opening a new private window (assuming that you are not currently using a private window) and by visiting your site in this window.

  For visitors come back, what is supposed to happen is that if your site has sent a "last modified" as well as the page date, Firefox should ask the server if there is an update before displaying the cached version. It is very difficult to test, of course, because it is difficult to simulate in time...

• How to I have restart Firefox without restoring a previous session?

  Whenever I encounter a suspicious site (like a fake antivirus, redirection porn site, etc.), I'll close Firefox 6 using the Task Manager (CTRL-ALT-DEL then Applications / Close). I do this because sites often suspicious Web you don't have to click on something before you can close your browser [example: are you sure you want to exit this Web site?] Yes/No]. I don't want to click on anything that may install malicious software.
  After forced when I re - open Firefox, it attempts to restore my last session automatically. This of course re - opens the same suspect site and I have to close Firefox a second time with CTRL-ALT-DELETE. After this second termination constraint I get the page "well, it's embarrassing" and I can choose to start a new session.
  My question: is it possible to stop Firefox to automatically restore a session of old when it is closed or force terminated?
  By the way... In Tools/Options/general/start, I set to 'Show my home page' at startup.

  Set the browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes pref to 0 on the about: config to get page the on: sessionrestore page immediately with the first reboot after a failure has occurred or the Task Manager was used for the closing of Firefox.

  Which allows to deselect the tabs that you do not want to reopen, but will reopen the other tabs.

• Firefox opens all my previous tabs on a new session, when it is not needed

  Hello

  I use Firefox 32.0.3 Windows 8.1.

  In tools-> Options-> general-> startup, I installed Firefox to open my homepage when it starts. However, he insists on all tabs my previous logon at startup.

  In case this was due to Firefox never close properly, I put browser.sessionrestore.resume_from_crash to false, makes no difference.

  One of you very well educated chaps have ideas?

  You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that affects the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once true value.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once

  You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

  • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)

  Your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.

  The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.
  You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: open with) If you do not create this file yourself.

  The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

  Note that Windows hides certain default file extensions.
  Among them are .html, .ini and .js, .txt, so you can see only file name without the file extension.
  You can see the type of actual file (file extension) in the properties of the file via the context menu in Windows Explorer.

• Why does firefox open a non-stop tab string when I try to open a PDF file?

  I don't know if it's a coincidence, but right after that I installed the latest version of Adobe flash player, firefox now opens a string with no end of new tabs, whenever I try to open a PDF file. I have to close the window and start over.

  Help?

  the machine is a HP Elitebook 8540w. Windows 7 64-bit.

  You have configured Firefox to use the Adobe Acrobat plugin? It seems that he may be missing or disabled, because it does not appear in your "more details of the system" (next to your message). You can see the page modules. Either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click on Plugins. Then on the right, look for Adobe Acrobat. It may be down on a gray background.

  If you don't have it: Make sure that this isn't your favorite here player:

  "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > Applications

  You can type or paste pdf in the search box at the top of the list after loading to filter.

  If you have it, but it cannot be activated using 'Always enable' or "Ask to activate": You may need to update. I recommend using the help inside your product Adobe (Reader or Acrobat) menu to check the updates.

  Any progress?

• Why Mozilla Firefox does not officially support 1.1 http pipelining yet?

  It's really more a technical philosophical question, but I thought I would mention it. While studying ways to improve my speed of navigation in general, I even found a ticket in Bugzilla 2004 debate this issue.

  While I understand that Mozilla wants to reduce the number of end-users of problems, enable this option in my browser increased considerably the speed by which loads major Web sites.

  As I ask, I want to assure you. I am currently using a web proxy and have "network.http.pipelining" and "network.http.proxy.pipelining" set to TRUE. What is the right way to activate this feature?

  Thanks in advance.

  I see the old bug to this https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264354 topic but it seems light may or should not cause problems, and browsers like chrome have problems loading page (see http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/chrome-27-firefox-21-opera-next, 3534 - 5.html) and they have it on by default. Note that there are not really of developers here. Just for the most part voluntary and or contributors.

• Why Mozilla Firefox is not admit profile bug, about 'plugin is not responding' Shockwave problem?

  I am a long time user, more than 10 years, Firefox and Netscape before that. This is the first time I've ever seen "plugin is not responding", and even less for Shockwave. I followed subject suggested solution. Checked plugins updated and reinstalled several even if they were up-to-date. Even reinstalled Firefox. Performed a full scan of Norton on my system (totally transparent). Finally. On the forum to help ADOBE, not on Mozilla (!), someone said blowing their profile and starting again solved the problem. This is a drastic measure, because it nukes all saved Firefox bookmark and setting. BUT THIS MARKET. Dear Mozilla sneaky: you have a bug in PROFILE. Please, admit it and fix it.

  Of course, first try the less disruptive mechanisms. But if they don't work, as they DID NOT for me:
  (1) rename/move your profile truncated (courtesy of a behaviour Firefox bad unknown or ignored) then that is the road - in other words, actually deleted. You can also simply delete the profile.
  (2) then create a new profile
  (3) Optional: If you have saved the wrong profile, try to send it to Mozilla so that they can find and fix their bug

  To locate the file bad profile, follow the instructions in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data?redirectlocale=en-US & redirectslug = Profiles

  _{Note from Moderator: ' Rename/move your profile' is not the same as deleting what you always have access to files in the particular profile of things like bookmarks. In addition, if you want to rename or move your profile and automatically create a new default profile, the file to rename or move is the Firefox folder that contains the file profiles.ini. See article profiles for its location.}

• Why Mozilla Firefox poster color white grid in yellow?

• How to stop email in mozilla firefox, opening in a new window (I want to open it in a new tab)

  my email opens in a new window when I want my mail to open in a new tab in the toolbar when I press the button send. Please can you help?

  Oh, Yes, the email link button. Who is supposed to send your mail site instructions to compose a new message with a link to the current page.

  This button should call your bet here:

  "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > tabs > "open new windows in a new tab instead.

  If this is checked , then you should get a new tab. If it unchecked , then you should get a new window. At least, that is how it is supposed to work.

• Why Mozilla Firefox have lots of cool themes (full), while only some work on my version of Firefox?

  Want just the other themes, the cool ones, please. Is this possible?

  Themes are created by third-party developers 3rd, not by Firefox. Because of the lack of familiarity with the new user interface and a lot of dissatisfaction with the new user interface that allows you to create a complete theme harder many developers have not updated their themes for Firefox 29 and later or have stopped making themes.

• Why mozilla firefox options synchronization replaces all the new password old password?

  When I sign in account twitter, linkedin, facebook and yahoo all sites informs me that you used your old password? I have change my password all the old almost 5 months before and after 5 months I used Firefox sync my new bookmarks update option, new name of connection sites and new passwords as well, but after that the sync option used, my new password replaced with the old password

  Maybe the 5 month period when this laptop principal was not connected to the Sync had a role to play in your problem. Sync is designed to synchronize Firefox data permanently, not to be started when you want to "data backup", as with a Cloud Computing service. And the password / feature connections has been changed just about this time, I remember well, then maybe who had a role to play in this last issue.

  1. my advice is to unplug all devices sync. 2. then, using computer laptop main with your latest data, reset your synchronization password. Will erase your data from the server, so you can get a fresh load of data to synchronize, and then to other devices when you connect again with the new password. 3 reconnect the computer main sync using the new password. 4. the next day reconnect another device using the new password. Check that connections data is now suitable for this device. 5. If it looks good, plug other devices one by one at a time by using the new password. And if you are using a "mobile version" of Firefox [Firefox for Android or Firefox for iOS] I would wait a few days to make sure that your data on the desktop / computer portable devices is good before you plug one of these devices.

• Why keep Firefox open a second page titled "new version available" and then wants to install a binary of the air software?

  It's anything but she jumped two times to just return to this page to two pages. I click the X and he left, but returned to the next Web page request.

  I found it. I saw a strange "free file converter" program in my program configuration panel. I noticed that popups had a banner announced a free file converter, which had the same icon as the one I had seen. I went to my computer program section and did an uninstall. I didn't uninstall and then tried to take me to their Web page. I have X'ed the page before it got far and clicked on finish on the uninstall program. The problem has not shown since. I have no idea how the file got there.
