• Firefox redirects Windows 10 "Hey Cortana" search

  I use Firefox on Windows 10 42.0. The operating system correctly recognize Firefox as my default browser and uses the search engine by default for most of the research of Cortana, but all initiated with "Hey Cortana" voice command are performed via Bing instead of my default search engine (no matter what it is defined on). This does not affect searches typed in Cortana or voice searches after clicking on the microphone icon in Cortana.

  I tried to restart Firefox in Safe Mode and refreshing to the profile nothing helps. I checked the option "Use this search for Windows search engine" is checked and that the "browser.search.redirectWindowsSearch" on: config option is set to True (as well as manually activating / disabling the option of two places).

  The setting worked at the first time in 40 of Firefox, but stopped some time ago.

  Could you... Take the exact URL of your search results "Hey Cortana" page?

  Windows adds different settings for different types of research generated by the system and Firefox changes the site search for adults that it is coded in order to manage, all the others just pass through unchanged. Currently, Firefox search form = or FORM = these:

  • WNSGPH
  • WNSBOX
  • WNSFC2

• Java is no longer listed or usable in Firefox on Windows 10

  Good afternoon. Please tell me if firefox for windows phone?

  No, there is no development in this direction - when everything is available on WP who is called "Firefox" then it is not genuine and probably a trade mark infringement which must be reported to https://www.mozilla.org/about/legal/fraud-report/

• Firefox on windows 8.1 is AutoFill password field when autocomplete is disabled.

  Hello.

  Firefox (latest version) for windows is auto-fill a password field, even with AutoComplete is turned off.

  The HTML code for the fields are:

  < input name = seized semiautomatic "member_password1" = "off" type = "password" >
  
  
  < input name = seized semiautomatic "member_password2" = "off" type = "password" >
  
  
  Leave the empty password to automatically generate a password

  In all other browsers, it works very well, and the saved password is not added, but Firefox on Windows 8.1 it is be populated automatically, with the registered user password.

  Thanks - I'll see what I can find. Almost a shame Mozilla simply ignores these fields well.

  Such is life!

• Problems on Firefox for Windows 10

  Computer details:
  Technical preview generator Windows 10 build 10074
  GPU drivers: 14,12 official latest drivers AMD (NOT of DRIVERS BETA WINDOWS)
  Firefox version: 38.0.1
  Build ID: 20150513174244

  The problem is one that can be seen in the attached screenshot. I showed the finger every place in the bookmarks toolbar and especially where the icons disappear randomly. This also applies to most of the icons/images in the page. This happens especially when CTRL + TAB / ALT + TAB in Facebook, but as has happened in some other sites.

  This happened in the same build of Windows with the previous (I think as 38.0.0) version of Firefox. Windows has been reinstalled and it kept happening. Tried to disable all add-ins and I tried to start Firefox in safe mode, nothing has helped at all.
  Attached to the troubleshooting information in case this help.

  Now, Firefox is UNUSABLE due to constant crashes and glitches of visualization, all part of the same program.

  You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > advanced > General > Browsing: "use hardware acceleration when available.

  You will need to close and restart Firefox after enabling/disabling this setting.

  Why not develop a Version of WP in Firefox?

  It will certainly help you.

  I know that 25 per cent of mobile users use WP.

  And thousands of users want Firefox for WP too!

  I'm not a developer of Firefox, but as far as I know, due to the policy of windows app store there is a technical barrier to the deployment of Firefox on windows phone. And Mozilla is also trying to put all efforts here on FirefoxOS (mobile operating system new here). So maybe it's why they aren't creation of Firefox for Windows mobile.
  But can you please cite the source that shows that 25% of mobile users use windows phone!

• Try to find a mozilla download site to download firefox for windows using a version of linux because my version of windows does not work.

  There are several sites that offer downloads of Firefox.
  I don't trust anything but mozilla.org

  But I can't find a download button on mozilla.

  I use Linux because my firefox on Windows 7 no longer works and the default download seems to be a Linux version of firefox.

  How can I download a version of windows?

  Why Firefox stop working. I have download Tunein Radio - program - and it looked as if he was installing junkware.
  I stopped the download but it seems to have already installed what is called the file opener. I uninstalled fire opener.

  That may have caused the problem

• conflicts of Outlook and firefox on Windows XP 32-bit

  Problem reports and fix:
  Latest Firefox on Windows XP 32-bit.

  Earlier, Microsoft Office updates have been applied in the past months.

  There were a lot of problems where Outlook and Firefox seem to share the same video address space, parts of Windows Outlook appeared in the windows of Firefox and vice verse. It's a pain. I needed to have one or another stop for each other at work and then things got worse than that, Firefox crashing very often. So I did a system restore to the 01/01/2015, which has removed the MS Office updates. Then Firefox and then didn't start because he didn't like the system restore. Reinstalled Firefox on top of Firefox [uninstall] and it starts now.

  Now, Firefox and Outlook work well. Will not apply to MS Office updates as MS is not stable or worrying questions about Windows XP.

  The problem has been fixed. You are implying that restored system restored a video driver update and that was not the case. Yes, the video display problem in question, but it doesn't seem to be a video driver issue.

  I posted with the solution so that it would be here if someone had a similar problem. I don't know why you trying to tell me how to fix something I said has been set.

• using 30 firefox in windows 7, I get a blank when you restart, if I don't have that one tab open when I close it.

  I have my options set for firefox "open windows and tabs from last time", but whenever I don't have that one tab left open, I get a blank page. If I have several tabs, then it opens with the tab and windows.
  I am running Windows 7 Professional and Firefox 30. Thanks for any help you can offer.

  Quote: it's only when I have no tabs open I get the blank page (instead of the homepage).

  There is always at least one open tab, if it didn't is no extensions installed that hide the bar tab in this case.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

  • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

• There seems to be a MAJOR problem (blocking/memory leak) in "subject: House", also known as the Firefox Start Page, at 26.0 Firefox on Windows!

  There seems to be a MAJOR problem (blocking/memory leak) in "subject: House", also known as start up Firefox, 26.0 Firefox Page, Windows!

  seen on:
  -Windows 7 x 64 machine with 12 GB of RAM and high performance CPU (core i7-920)
  -Comments Machine virtual WinXP SP3 (in Oracle VirtualBox) running on the same computer
  -Intel Atom D525 netbook with 4 GB of RAM, running Win7 x 64

  None of these machines are connected through Sync or something like that. The Firefox instance on the virtual machine is a fresh install / clean.

  The problem:
  -100% of cpu usage for 10 seconds, (util in XP) memory usage goes up to 1.7 GB
  -If "subject: House" is actually the Firefox Start Page, it blocks the computer at startup of Firefox for 10 seconds
  -If "subject: House" isn't the Firefox Start Page, startup is fine - BUT if I press the "home" on the toolbar button it loads "on: House" which causes the same question once again

  Sounds that there is a problem with one of the code snippets that are responsible. I've seen several reports on this issue.

  You can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref an empty string on the subject: the page of config to disable loading (new) checked to see if that helps.
  
  You can open the topic: config page through the address bar

• 64-bit version of Firefox for Windows

  Hello

  I was wondering how to get a 64-bit version of Firefox, for Windows 7. A search on the Internet shows these as being available on a few Web site:
  http://www.windows7download.com/
  http://www.firefox64bit.com/

  I guess these are genuine, but I'm confused as to why they are not available on the Mozilla site. I searched on the support forum and found an answer that is one year old (http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/782154), which indicates that a 64-bit version may be available after 12 of Firefox. Unless I am confused about the nomenclature of versioning used, the latest version of Firefox is 24. Are there still not a 64 version, but official Firefox available for Windows?

  Thank you and best regards, Ashok

  Mozilla is not a version of Firefox 64-bit for Windows operating systems. Mozilla has every evening at the alpha level 64-bit versions for Windows, but currently they are generated to verify that this channel every night, the changes are not broken on 64-bit Windows versions.

  There are a few 3rd party 64-built, like Waterfox, but these are not the official versions of Mozilla.

• After the 24 Firefox update, Windows 7 64-bit breaks on reboot. The network in the taskbar icon is not ready (blue circle stopped).

  After 24 of Firefox update, Windows 7 breaks after the reboot. The network in the taskbar icon is not ready (blue circle on the wireless network icon). But I can't do much. I can't open the network and sharing Center (never opened). Even the Task Manager hangs when I click to show processes from all users. I have to do a system restore for a network working again. I never even launched Firefox.

  Wow... I finally have the solution. Windows updates have been applied at the same time I updated Firefox. Bluetooth driver is what broke (which is part of the Centrino wireless). I ended up installing the latest driver from Intel, Windows Update, and then update Firefox... and all is well.

  I thank very you much for all your help. Take care.
