Advanced Tab in Options is Blank in FF7 & computer is way slower!
Two issues since the FF upgrade to 7.0.1 or whatever the most recent update was, my computer is running extremely slow, as I've seen many others with this issue as well, but don't know what the solution is, if there even is one?
But also I am unable to access the Advanced tab in options (it is blank) so I can't clear my cache. I read some options such as running in safe mode to see if add-ons were an issue and they aren't as far as I can tell.
I'd prefer to roll back to an earlier version but am wondering if I download FF 6, does it automatically replace FF 7? Or do I have to remove FF7 and if so I am not sure how to do that.
Need simple easy to follow instructions or resolutions. Thanks!
Yah, except with the new NSA revelations I want to set and/or verify my levels of encryption as I have in the past. Removing all encryption information leaves us all hanging. SSL 3.0 and TSL 1.0 should be on for everyone while SSL 2.0 needs to be off forever. Is this the case? How would I know?
So, no, calling users morons (after reading the blog on this topic) and making a feature available for a purportedly 'only 2%' of users who care is not a sufficient argument. If Mozilla is truly committed to not working with the NSA, then encryption should be identified for all users of Firefox instead of completely hidden from view.
Guess I'll be searching through older versions of Firefox....sigh

Upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 & Advanced tab in Options opens blank?

Padlock is no longer part of Firefox; it was removed beginning in Firefox 4. The padlock shows that there is a secure connection but does not supply additional information. You could have made a typographical error and still have been connected to a secure connection. The padlock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site Identity Button. Familiarize yourself with the Site Identity Button at the left end of the Location Bar:

When I click on Tools, then Option, the pages are all blank. The only one that works is the General Tab. At the same time, the two options on the bottom of the General tab do not have text, just empty buttons. I first realized this when I tried to clear history and Cookies after I have been un able to SIGN OUT of my hotmail account on Fire Fox. Everytime I sign out, it signs me back in when I hit Hotmail

I do not have the 'Advanced' tab on the menu bar. I am trying to change ringtone on my iphone 4s. Have done the following: Right cick on song, entered the start and stop times, but unable to proceed as need 'Advanced' tab in order to change to option.
You don't need to upgrade your software. But if you're struggling with Spry, IMO you should cut your losses and switch to something better for the longrun.
If you have a budget to work with, I highly recommend Project Seven's Pop-Menu Magic 3. It's easy to use in DW CS4, 5, 6 or CC. More importantly, it's bullet proof and works in all devices.

If you don't have a budget to work with, you can roll your own menus with jQuery plugins. A bit more effort on your part, but they perform better than Spry.

Up/Down Arrow keys do not perform their function on SOME websites or at SOME times, on other websites and at other times these keys work fine, updated firefox, restarted computer. turned off cursor key option in Advanced tab, using autoscrolling option.
You may have switched on [http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.browsewithcaret caret browsing].
You can press press F7 (on Mac: fn + F7) to toggle caret browsing on/off.

The Option Window in Firefox is incomplete. It only shows
General, Tabs, Content, Applications, Privacy, Security, Sync
The Advanced Tab is not showing and the Browse button to change download location is missing also.If you are using an add-on theme switch to the default theme. If that isn't the source of your problem ....
Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

The Tools , Options then the Advanced Tab, that the Allow 3rd Party to downlaod updates is missing.
I updated Firefox to 16.0.1 and then I checking to see that the download went okay and according to the download history everything went okay, however on the Tools, Options then Advanced Tab, that do you want to Allow 3rd Party to download is missing, I don't know what happened. On the last download the 15.0, this component downloaded, and I checked it so that I can download the updates.
Do I need to uninstall this Firefox and reinstall it? Did I get a corrupted version?
The update worked okay on my laptop & my husband computer but not mine.
Please contact me.
Thank you,

To see all history and cookie setting, you can use:
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

After uninstalling and installing several times, Java plug-in is still undetected. Support suggested I open up the control panel and click update but there isn't such an option. The advance tab, there aren't any options to enable or disable plug-ins.
If you're running Java 7, then in System Preferences > Java > Java Control Panel in the Security tab there is a check box to enable Java in your browser. To check for update go to the Update tab.

Firefox crashes whenever I click on the "Advanced" tab of the options menu.
My proxy settings were changed by a virus. I have removed the infection, but I cannot enter the advanced options menu to change them back. Every time I open the options menu and click on the advanced tab, Firefox immediately crashes. I have already tried un/reinstalling the program, and running firefox with addons disabled, but none of them keep it from crashing. The crash id's are different each time as well.
Try to clear the cache.
Clear the Cache":
* Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
You may need to clear the files in the cache location as seen on the about:cache page manually.

Can't find "options" or "advanced tab" under Tools
When I click on the Tools on tool bar,I can't find "options" so I can change some settings in the Advanced tab.

One important feature of Desktop options - "Security devices" under Advance tab had been removed in Firefox for Mobile, anyone knows why?
- ability to choose deletion of an email on handset only
- desktop software working with all older BB's allowing drag and drop type of transferring data, contacts etc. (BB link doesn't recognize my old Storm)
- auto power on/off
- contacts syncing with yahoo & Outlook (almost two weeks trying to work around it and no luck) -
Msg: Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page. When I click on "Allow", The 2nd tab closes with no error msg This was Home Depot redirecting to CitiGroup.
When I unchecked the Advance/General/Accessibility option to be notified of a "redirect" then things worked.
Why did clicking on "Allow" not work?
I posted step by step detail in the Trouble Shooting box below.Thank you for your answer. It does stop the redirection notices, but now I have no idea if potentially unsafe sites are redirecting me. I cannot figure out why it has only recently started to happen on my home page though, when nothing has changed on there and I've had it set to show redirections, ever since I set up Firefox.
I guess I'll just have to make the decision as to whether I want to risk redirections or put up with the semi permanent notice.
Thanks again mha007 -
I always have the time range in the Clear Recent History window set to "Everything", too.
While I didn't know about the about:cache page, it doesn't help me understand why Firefox is doing this, and how to fix it. Also, as I said in my question, I already knew about the cache information in the Advanced tab of the Options menu. I was trying to imply that I sometimes have to clear it using both the Clear Recent History feature and in the Advanced tab of the Options menu, because using Clear Recent History doesn't delete it all.
