    YouTube not functioning

    I am having problems watching YouTube videos, both the ones linked here and those I find elsewhere, including directly on YouTube. I see the title, the comments, the up- and down-vote icons, etc. ... and no box in which the video would be displayed. This behavior is fairly recent, but I don't...

    Microsoft Edge is safer than Firefox ...

    Or so MS has been telling me, off and on for a few months, as I start up a FF session :rolleyes: But there's a little 'x' in the pop-up that carries this handy advice, so I click it and it goes away. Until tonight, when I clicked the 'x' and it started up an Edge session. Is this even legal...

    Adobe Flash plug-in issue

    I keep getting dysfunctional videos that inform me "Firefox has prevented the outdated plugin 'Adobe Flash' from running." I'm told it's "vulnerable." A click will give me an option: "Allow now" or "Allow and remember." It comes up with other browsers as well. There are links to install the...

    DuckDuckGo bug or virus?

    Within the past few days I've noticed an intermittent problem with DuckDuckGo in Firefox. I'm not sure if it's a problem with DuckDuckGo itself or if my computer has a virus. I'm running Windows 7 and whatever the latest version of Firefox is. I have DuckDuckGo set as my homepage. When I...

    Changed Firefox/Google News Behaviour?

    I appears that something somewhere has been changed and I can't figure out how to get it back to the way it was working. Previously, for as long as I remember, the Google News window automatically refreshed itself every few minutes (I never thought to time it but I occasionally caught it doing...

    The first Firefox update I've really disliked.

    At least you should be able to configure it the way you had it before! I hate (very small!) icon-only buttons. I like to have the text on them also - and I don't see an option for configuring that. Along with not being able to have the address bar on top, and the tabs underneath that (so the...

    Firefox has recently become unbelievably slow and laggy

    Since a few months back, Firefox has become incredibly slow and laggy. To open a website (any website really, even Wikipedia) seems to be such a burden for it. If I play a Youtube clip it will frequently stop it when loading a new site. How to fix this? I tried SpeedyFox, but it only fixes the...

    Firefox Add-on

    I'm using Firefox 13.0.1 and I want to install an add-on that prevents site tracking as I wander about the web. Searching Firefox's add-on page for "track" yields five products. Which do you use? Why? Does it stop tracking completely or only partially? TIA

    Latest Firefox

    So, I've been using Firefox for many years now, and despite the issues others may have encountered, I've never, ever experienced poor performance. I run it on four different machines, and have run it on both Windows 7 and Windows XP. Until now. The latest version of Firefox seems to run like...

    Aargghh! Firefox

    So I've upgraded to the latest version of firefox, and I'm running Windoze 7 home premium. Whenever I type into say, a google search box, or even the box I'm typing this message into right now, it's blue. When typing in google or yahoo I can't even see what I'm typing. This also happens on...

    Some websites (including wikipedia) don't load.

    Over this weekend, a number of websites including wikipedia and thatguywiththeglasses.com are refusing to load. I can open almost all websites I can think of, including here, youtube, ebay and a number of other websites without any delay or issues, but some websites won't work. I get a generic...

    Firefox 5.0 released

    Well, that was quick. From 4.0.1 to 5.0. Mozilla releases stable version of Firefox 5 I was just prompted to download and install it. It looks pretty much the same as version 4 so far.

    Hey, any Linux pros here?

    Having a bit of an annoying issue in Ubuntu here. Firefox 4 isn't available via Synaptic yet, so I just downloaded it and ran it via command line. No problem there. But, there's this whole deal with "Preferred applications" and outside hyperlinks. I figured there's got to be some way to get the...

    Playing AVIs in Firefox, Chrome, and Opera, etc.

    I have a client that needs to play AVI video files, in a web browser, preferably though the QuickTime player. (If not QT, then some other player where the user can examine the videos frame-by-frame, that is readily available.) And, theoretically, they must be AVIs, since they are the primary...

    Who's on Firefox 4.0?

    I've been trying Firefox 4 for a couple of days. I like it. The initial appearance is Chrome-like, but it looks a little friendlier once the menus are shown. It's a good deal faster than 3.6, both on a Vista PC and a 6 year old XP laptop. I know we have plenty of FF fans here. Comments?

    Everone tells me IE sucks, so...

    What's the best substitute for IE and why? I have Firefox on my laptop but that's a memory hog (or did they fix it)? I've had Safari 4 which made sites look slightly different. Is Safari 5 better? I've had Opera way back when, and I liked the mouse gestures, but as far as I know Opera isn't...

    Can Firefox be made to ignore some source code?

    Specifically, my job requires me to use a web page that includes iframes which have had the "scrolling=no" attribute set, but I want these frames to scroll anyway when I'm viewing the page. Is there some way to get Firefox (v3.6, WinXP)--or any other browser--to ignore that attribute setting...

    Firefox and bookmarks overflow

    I am running into a problem with my (linux) firefox. My bookmarks have profilated far past the point where they fill more than a screenheight. I have managed to place some of them in a "subdirectory" which is unfortunately at the bottom of my screen and takes a lot of scrolling to get to. Is...

    Firefox

    So for the last month or so I've been using Firefox, since so many people say it's the shiznit. I'm not impressed. It does a terrible job of blocking popups, and it lets in all kinds of malware. My last anti-virus scan found 92 infections! Almost all tracking cookies, but still... I never had...

    Firefox tear-off Tab question

    Quick question: On the latest version of Firefox it's possible to tear off a tab and make it a separate window instead, by clicking and dragging it off the main window. Once you've done that, is it possible to put it back again? I've had a google round but can't seem to find the correct search...

    Can Someone Help Me Figure Out Firefox's Reload Behaviour?

    I've been using Firefox 2 for a while now, and have been always annoyed that I need to actually press the "reload" button all the time to refresh pages. I do not like any of the add-ons I've found, such as ReloadEvery because they work on a time-interval basis. What I want is for Firefox to...

    Firefox 3.0.6 update issue

    Just updated to Firefox 3.0.6 and then I couldn't get anything but Page Load Error! I ended up having to do a system restore to V3.0.5 and now it works again. Anyone else run into this?

    Firefox, Adblock and Youtube

    I'm just throwing this out here, but has anyone else using Firefox with an ad blocking program (Adblock Plus for example) found that when it is activated you get the message "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player."...

    Firefox - wtf happened to my bookmarks?

    I restart up my computer late this afternoon, and suddenly my chosen theme for Firefox was missing, and all my bookmarks are gone and my theme (Redshift) was missing also. This happened after watching the live NASA feed, although it may be unrelated. I don't allow any automated updates -- I'm...

    Mozilla FireFox Add-ons and Settings

    So, I just installed a fresh clean copy of Windows XP on a brand new hard drive for my home computer. The old copy was getting all broken down and I needed the extra space anyway. It took a while but I think I have everything running smoothly now with all the latest service packs and security...

    Firefox cache question - probably minor to most, but important to me.

    Firefox cache question How does one go about searching cache files in Firefox? I know how to do so in IE, but not in FF. The question arises because an email that I'd composed, saved in draft part way through, then completed and sent later, got lost in cyberspace. I wanted to search the...

    Firefox v IE7 fonts different?
