How do I get Firefox for Android to recognize the built in camera on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7plus running 4.0.4?

The new Firefox works great on my Galaxy Pad, but does not recognize the built in camera allowing me to upload videos to the web. I do not have that problem with Dolphin.
When I go to a website that allows me to upload videos and click on record, Firefox states that I do not have a webcam connected. The Galaxy Tab 7Plus has two cameras, one facing each direction. I do not have this problem with other browsers.
Everything else is exemplary.
thanks...............biff

The native Android Youtube player does a much better job of handing video playback than embeded flash in a browser.

How do I get Firefox for Android to download and install?

I had Firefox installed on my Android tablet, an Asus TF300T. I was notified there was an update so I clicked to let in install. I avoid auto updates as I need to use a website that is always a couple of versions behind in compatibility. Well, the update would not download and I tried several times. It just seems to time out (error 495 is reported). I tried uninstalling Firefox to attempt a fresh install. This has worked with other apps that were being difficult when installing updates. Now I still can't get Firefox for Android to complete a download in order to get it installed. What's the deal with this latest version? I'd like to get Firefox back on my tablet but the options are extremely limited and frankly the amount of help on the website is also extremely limited. Any help would be appreciated.

How do I get Firefox for Android to OPEN a document instead of Download it?

I have an android tablet and am using a web application that has links to Word documents. I need this to be very simple for the end user. By default Firefox downloads the file (which is on a share on our server). The user then has to find it and open it - too many steps.
I cannot find Tools/Options/Application as there is on the Windows version.

How can I stop firefox for android from increasing font sizes on some pages?

I try to get my browser to show websites exactly as they would look in my Firefox for desktop pcs. Checking "show desktop version" helps, but still, on many sites the font size is almost doubled compared to my laptop's browser. a good example would be the amazon site. Not only the font size but the whole layout seems bigger, although both my laptop any my tablet have the same screen resolution. Changing the text size setting to tiny didn't have an impact on any site at all.
Also, is there a way to manually zoom in/out of a website like strg+ -/+ in the normal firefox does?

This is an interesting one. I'm not a web developer so others will be able to give a more thorough answer but I think the thing is that the navigator.userAgent is not the only source of information about your device available to the site.
Recently user agent sniffing has become less popular because browsers tend to catch each other up and, for example, you don't want to force IE10 users to view a web page designed to get around lacking features in IE6. See the following links for more info on this:
* http://jibbering.com/faq/notes/detect-browser/
* http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8970800/is-server-side-useragent-detection-bad
* https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Browser_detection_using_the_user_agent
I expect what is happening is that the site is instead using feature detection of some kind and is varying the images served based on the features it can detect rather than the useragent string of the browser you are using.
As far as I can tell there is no setting in Firefox for Android that is default-zooming in on desktop websites. It just displays what the site provides.

How do I stop Firefox for Android from popping up the on-screen keyboard when loading a page with a search box on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2?

When I go to certain sites on the web which have search boxes, Firefox will pop up the onscreen keyboard as the page load completes, without me doing anything to focus the search box. It's annoying to have to tell the keyboard to go away each time before I can navigate in the page.
I specified the device I am using (Galaxy Tab 2 7 inch) because it uses a nonstandard keyboard applet, called simply the Samsung Keyboard, which could be doing something different than the regular Android one. I don't have the option of switching to the stock Android keyboard.

That won't help iamjayakumars. That pref blocks popup windows on load. The keyboard is not a popup window.
This behavior happens because the website sets focus to a text box on the page. Firefox is following the standard behavior for desktop browsers.

How do I customize firefox for multiple users on the same device?

Sometimes my wife uses my computer to surf the web. I'd like to have it set up so she can have her bookmarks, etc. when she's using it and I can have mine when I'm using it. Is this possible? If so how do I do it?

hello arack, the easiest way would be to create different user accounts for you both on the mac on the level of the operating system: [[How do I share Firefox between people on a computer?]]
or you could use the firefox profile manager to create separate profiles: [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]

Why Firefox for Android is causing The Linux kernel to send data packets to random sites?

I've recently installed CyanogenMod on my Nexus 5. Shorty after installing CyanogenMod I decided to install Firefox on my device from here:
https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.mozilla.firefox
Afrer installing it I decided to install a frontend application for IPtabels from here:
https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=dev.ukanth.ufirewall
After installing it I blocked some applications from accessing my data networks, including The
Linux kernel. After some hours passed I took a look at the firewall log and I noticed that the firewall
has blocked several data packets from accessing the internet. The log also showed the IP addresses where
the data packets were being sent. I decided to find out to whom these IP adresses belonged. The results were
rather strange. One particular IP belonged to a French ISP, one on the other hand belonged to a Finnish ISP.
Finally I found one IP that made some sense. That IP belonged to Mozilla. However, at this point I couldn't be sure
that Firefox was causing this behaviour. So I did a little test. I re-installed CyanogenMod on my Nexus 7.
I connected my Nexus 7 to my WiFi-network at my home and I installed the same frontend application for IPtables
on my device. I configured the firewall the same way I did for my phone, so The Linux kernel was also blocked
from accessing any data networks. I surfed the web with my device and did some other things with it. I also checked the
firewall log from time to time, and no applications showed up in the log. So I installed Firefox on my device. And immediately
after installing it The Linux kernel was trying to send data packets to the same IP addresses. Now I was almost completely sure
that Firefox was indeed causing this strange behaviour.
Here are some addresses where The Linux Kernel was trying to send data packets:
69.50.225.155
63.245.217.219
72.167.239.239
23.43.139.27
74.125.232.107
193.229.109.41
63.245.217.160
94.23.204.140
Conclusion:
*I downloaded CyanogenMod from the projects official site and I checked the md5sums of the files
I downloaded before I flashed anything onto my device
*I installed all the applications on my devices (including Firefox) from here: https://f-droid.org
*I didn't do anything stupid with my devices so I dont' think that they were infected with malware
*I changed Firefox settings so that it didn't share any data with Mozilla
So I'd like to have some answers to the following questions:
1)Why Firefox is causing the Linux kernel to send data to these IP addresses and is there any way
to turn this "feature" off?
2)Do the other versions of Firefox and other Mozilla software (Thunderbird etc.) also include this form of snooping?

How can I get iTunes 10.7 to recognize the already existing library .itl fle?

I had to downgrade from iTunes 11 to 10.7 because v 11 could no longer sync my iPod Classic. I uninstalled iTunes 11, reinstalled iTunes 10.7 and used the lastest .itl file from the Previous iTunes Libraries directory that was used in v10.7. After that, I just had to update the library with new music purchases since that .itl was last updated and I was up and running in relatively no time.
It worked fine for a few days but lately when I launch iTunes, it brings up the iTunes home screen and doesn't load the .itl fil, which is in the 'C:\Users\Robert\Music\iTunes' directory where it's always been. Previous to launching iTunes, I made a copy of this .itl file and stored it in a temp directory for safe keeping, adding the date to the end of the file. I deleted the .itl file in the iTune directory and copied the .itl file from my temp directory into it, renamed the file so it was just iTunes Library.itl, relaunched iTunes and everything was fine.
The problem is, I keep having to do this, sometimes more than once a day. Sure it's a viable workaround but it's getting annoying.
Anyone else run into this and come up with a good permanent solution?
I'm running this on an Hewlett Packard HPE-390t running Windows 7 Professional.
Thanks.

They are all mostly the same size at around 6MB but there are a couple that are very large 55MB (including the 30 tmp file I mentioned above. There is also one around 7KB). I tried renaming the most recent (as of 8:30PM last night) tmp file as iTunes Library.itl but when I launch iTunes, I get the "The file 'iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes" popup.
But when I go into a directory I created to get the most recent itl file I've been saving as a backup and copy it into the iTunes directory to replace the one that I tried to make with the tmp file, and launch iTunes, my whole library loads with no problem.
However, if history repeats itself, this will work for at most a couple of days before I have to copy the saved itl file back into the iTunes directory.

How do I get my Macbook Pro to recognize the esata connected drive?

I have connected and the system seems to recognize the ExpressCard esata controller adapter card, but the system doesn't seem to see the drive. I have restarted the system with no change. The drive is formated for Mac. Not sure what else I can do?

mfairless wrote:
The card seems to be recognized by the system. The drive is recognized when I have it connected via USB. I may try to replace the card and see if that is the issue. Thanks.
Again, I think you're on the right track, but before replacing it, give the following advice from AussieDJ a try (boot into 32 bit mode), whether it's the same card or not (there are definitely things "out there" that do not yet work on 64 bit systems):
The firmware I had previously would only work in 32-bit, but I now have the updated 64-bit compatible firmware. I would suggest the OP try booting into 32-bit mode to see if it works. (Hold the numbers 3 + 2 while booting)
Does the box come up top right when you plug the card in btw?

Can anybody tell me how do I change the download location on the firefox for android browser. The download are filling my tablets memory? Every browser should

Every browser should have a download directory. And no I do not want to use dolphin or any other browser.

I tried this and it didn't work. There was no setting in \about:config for "browser.download.dir" so I added it as a string and set it to my phone's extSdCard, restarted firefox, tried another download, but it still went to the old location. Any ideas?

How do I stop Firefox for Android from saving EVERYTHING I TYPE.

I want AUTOCOMPLETE AUTOFILL and AUTOTEXT turned off but there's no option. Will uninstall and leave one star review if this issue isn't addressed.

hello, try this: enter '''about:config''' into the address bar, search for the preference named '''browser.formfill.enable''' & change its value to '''false'''.

How can you get firefox to work locally with the windows subst command?

I want to test my website locally using the windows subst command to emulate the root of my website. It works perfectly with IE8 (except IE8 displays the layout different to firefox) but will not work with Firefox. All of the images, styles sheets and anything with a root path does not work. If I use a relative path (../../ for example) to the objects they works fine.
How can I view web pages locally using a website root path?

Now I understand why Firefox does not load local pages and and IE does. I followed the link and tried all the various solutions. The noscript version did not work (but at least I have better security now) and the \\\\\ UNC path trick did nothing. Eventually I downloaded the IEtab plugin and that worked perfectly. All I wanted to do was to check webpages locally before submitting to my website and the IEtab plugin worked perfectly.
Thanks

Website requires Silverlight 4 (4.0.60831.0). How do I get Firefox to allow access to the now outdated but required plugin? Thanks

I used to have Firefox 18.0.1. Now have Firefox 19.0.2. I use a website where Silverlight 4 is required. Silverlight 5 is incompatible with the website. Firefox 18 allowed use of Silverlight 4. Firefox 19 has disabled the plugin as outdated. How can I force acceptance of Silverlight 4?

Have you tried uninstalling the current version of Silverlight and installing version 4? What happens when you try to install version 4? What is the error message you are receiving?
