As of Firefox 21,pressing Ctrl+F slides in the find bar into view.What should I change in about:config to revert it back and make it popup instantaneously?

The question pretty much sums up what I want to ask. Thank you very much for any and all help.
I know this is not the place to rant but I think this needs to be said - Why do you(firefox devs) guys keep on changing things that were perfectly fine in the first place? For example, making the find bar slide in and out of view may "look cool" but it consumes more system resources(albeit very very little) than making it appear instantaneously(the way it was previously).

This is done via CSS transitions: chrome://global/skin/findBar.css
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Using_CSS_transitions
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

  • I was no longer able to click on my Firefox icon and open . I uninstalled firefox and then reinstalled and I still cannot get Firefox to open. It says that the download was successful. What should I do?

    I attempted to open Firefox as usual and when I clicked on the icon nothing happened. I uninstalled Firefox and then reinstalled. It said that the download for Firefox was successful but it still does not open. When I click on Firefox it now just says to upgrade Firefox. What should I do to get Firefox up and running again. I have a Mac and my Safari is linking me just fine to the internet so Apple says it is not a Mac problem but a Firefox problem.

    I notice you turned off the setting that diverts new windows to a new tab. Since the new window will open in front of your current tab, it may appear that the current tab was closed, when in fact it is behind the new window. This hard to explain in words.
    Do you want to switch the setting?
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs
    Check the box for "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
    Does that help?

  • When I try to setup the updated Firefox download, I get a message that the file is corrupt. What should I do?

    The download for firefox setup 6.0.2 exe was successful, but when I tried to open it, I received a message that the file is corrupt.

    If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions to update then easiest is to trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.

  • How can I get CTRL-F to open the find dialog?

    I am using Firefox V36.0.4 and when I am on the catalog site of mydoitbest.com and I press the CTRL+F to open the find dialog and it doesn't work. I contacted the authors of the site and they said:
    "This is a quirk in Firefox actually, not our site. You need to either click at the top of the browser (in some blank area, like below the address bar) before pressing Ctrl+F or press Ctrl+F twice for the search bar to come up in the lower left corner. We updated our Firefox to your recent version and had the same result. If you click the top of the browser first or press Ctrl+F twice that will bring the search bar up."
    I'm not sure I believe them... This is the only site that has the problem. I have tried Firefox in Safe Mode, it still doesn't work. I believe they are doing something to capture the <CTRL> key because when I press CTRL+Left Mouse Click on a link it should open a the link on a new <TAB>, but instead just opens the link in the same <TAB>.
    Has anybody else reported a problem with Firefox? Any other ideas or any way for me to check the source for the page to see if they are doing something wrong?
    Thanks, Keith

    Hi, thanks for the reply.
    No, that doesn't fix the problem.
    I've done some programming and have been checking out their site. They are trapping the keys so the first time I press <CTRL-F> it puts a lower case "f" in their search box. If I press <CTRL-F> again the search dialog box does open. If I click on their search box first with the mouse, then press <CTRL-F> it works as it should.
    I guess I'll have to live with it, because they don't seem interested in correcting their problem.
    Thanks, Keith

  • How to put the find bar (Ctrl+F) at the top of Firefox instead of the bottom

    My search function or find function bar or whatever it's called (Ctrl+F) to find words in a document has always been at the top of the page of Firefox, always. But ever since I let them update me to the most recent one, FIrefox 25 or something, it is now at the bottom and I am really saddened by this.
    I don't mind that they changed the design, but for heaven sakes all I'm asking is you move it back to the top or tell me how. I'm not looking for added nifty doodads or add-ons or large segments of code to try to fix this, I just want you to move it to the top instead of bottom.

    I know it's at the top are you sure when you say "always" at the bottom? Are you talking in terms of 2009? 2008? Previous years? I know it's always been at the top and I'm not one for addons, I have stylish and imagezoom for the past 4 years, and have recently added adblock plus and 'grab and drab' to the mix this year. Of course find bar was still at the top then.
    It was at the top and the actual place where you type the word was to the top right, god I wish I'd screencapped it because now it's been 3 weeks since this has happened and I'm doubting myself what it originally looked like...
    EDIT: Never mind there was a user styles type formula to put the find bar to the top
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/975514
    I'll try it out for a few days and if it's working fine I'll consider the problem a-ok.

  • I cannot open new tabs in Firefox, either with CTRL+T or with the mouse right click or click on the tab icon.

    I cannot open new tabs in Firefox, either with CTRL+T or with the mouse right click or click on the tab icon.

    I have this problem as well. I could not see the ask toolbar in firefox, yet in the add or remove programs it was installed. As soon as I uninstalled it, I could open tabs again!
    Thanks guys!

  • Whenever i open Firefox i cant type anything because the "find" bar at the bottom alwayse pops up. How can i remove that or fix this issue?

    So like I said, Everytime I open firefox as soon as I open a tab the "find" bar automatically pops up and I cant type. It wont let me close it at all. Ive searched everywhere to see if I can disable it from automatically coming up but came up empty. Ive reset everything back to is "original" settings but that didn't work either.

    Have you had this problem for some time or did it just start recently?
    This occurs with an empty new tab (Ctrl+t) or with any new tab (e.g., including clicking a link)?
    Is the bar labeled Find or Quick Find?
    Find: This bar can be opened using Ctrl+f, but obviously you are not typing Ctrl+f.
    Quick Find: The shortcut to open this bar is a / character. Firefox also has an option to open the Quick Find bar as soon as you type ''any'' character. (See: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/advanced-settings-browsing-network-updates-encryption#w_accessibility Accessibility options]) But this is turned off by default, and it doesn't sound as though you are typing a character when this happens.
    Hmmm... by default, if the cursor is in either bar, it can be closed by pressing the Esc key. But I suppose that isn't working either (or it reopens very quickly).
    If you view the Add-ons page, do you have any extensions?
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

  • How can I get around the find bar no longer being shared between tabs in the latest version of Firefox?

    Previously, one could open a new tab and the find bar would remain at the bottom of the page from the previously opened tab. So, for example, I could search for something in a tab I open, open a new tab and the same find bar would be at the bottom so I could search the new website for the same thing. Any way around this?

    Hi,
    This function is no longer officially in Firefox, however this addon replaces it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/find-in-tabs
    Hope this helps!

  • Since upgrading Firefox, it no longer accepts URLs in the URL bar - it works if I have a bookmark, a link or from History, but not if I enter or paste a URL.

    Firefox 33.0.2 on Windows 8.1 64 bit. Since upgrading Firefox, it no longer accepts URLs in the URL bar - it works if I have a bookmark, a link or from History, but not if I enter or paste a URL and hit <enter>, in which case nothing happens at all.
    I have found that issue reported for Ubuntu (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1011935?esab=a&as=aaq) but not for Windows. The solution there to change the keyboard is not feasible since it's a laptop with a built-in keyboard.
    I did not have this issue with FF 28 (I finally upgraded because I was getting BSODs) and I don't have this issue with any other Browser on same platform.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • Cap. 5.0: returning to an earlier slide loses the control bar

    My 10-slide course uses the control bar at the bottom. The last slide has a button that returns the user to slide #1.  When one uses the button to return to slide #1, the control bar has disappeared from all of the slides.  I'm baffled.

    Check your project for any Advanced Actions that might be setting the variable for cpCmndShowPlaybar to 0.
    These actions might be attached to that final button, or On Slide Enter somewhere.
    What happens if you use the TOC to navigate back to the first slide instead of clicking the button?  Does the playbar still disappear?
    What happens if you remove the current Playbar, and set to a different playbar?  Does it still disappear?

  • I wrote HTML code and everything worked till I uploaded firefox. And now the image I put there doesn't load. It shows like a damaged one. What should I change?

    I think that the browser just doen't allow big pictures to load for faster work or something, but I can't find anywhere where to change such settings.

    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    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.

  • Firefox has spontaneously decided not to show the task bar at the bottom of the screen, and some menu bars have been messed up. How can I fix this?

    My Firefox has spontaneously (apparently) decided not to show the task bar at the bottom of the screen (the margin is there, but it is blank), and some menu bars have been messed up. Perhaps the most annoying aspect of these changes is the fact that I have to use alt-tab to move from a Firefox session to another session.
    I can find no way to fix these problems. Can you help? Am I going to have to uninstall and re-install Firefox in order to get back to the default settings? If so, is there any way to preserve my bookmarks?

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
    You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

  • After resetting firefox, I can no longer search from the address bar

    Like the title says I can't search from the address bar "awesome bar" anymore. I just get a 404 error when I try. Searching just lists tons of people getting the "just update keyword.url" answer that's no longer valid. And hasn't been for several years.
    I got a browser hijack somewhere. Not sure where, and nothing was installed on my computer so I reset firefox and lost all my search engines. IE was fixed with an uninstall/reinstall. Chrome hates my face and no longer runs. (And google's help is... well if I wanted to be insulted...) I've reinstalled several times. No dice. I've now reset firefox three times. It's just not working. I've ran several virus scanners, ran several malware programs, and even asked my IT department. (They don't care cause IE works and their stupid "virus scan" was clean. I mean it took 30 seconds. What the hell did it actually scan?)
    Surely there's a keyword or something that I'm missing that needs to be reset so I can get my address bar searching again.

    Current Firefox versions use the default search engine that is set in the search bar as well for searching via the location bar and on the about:home page.
    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extension (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extension+and+themes
    You can check the connection settings.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > Network : Connection > Settings
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Options+window+-+Advanced+panel
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.
