Clicking on a link opens google search but on second or third click it opens the link as it should
Whenever i click on a link it opens as google search page not the link it should, it usually works OK on the second or third attempt, noticed the problem primarily in facebook as that's what I use most but has happened with links in other pages.
hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

As I said above: I Have Firefox browser home page set for Google search, but each following tab (but suddenly now it) opens w/Yahoo search instead. How do I remove the Yahoo search off the added tabs and have Google home page/ blank tab (like it used to be) on every tab????
The new Firefox Start Page - '''about:home''' - isn't the same homepage that was used in earlier versions of Firefox - http://www.google.com/firefox There is no "setting" for the "Search Container" on the about:home "page" - in the Options UI or in about:config .
Set that old "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" as your "homepage". <br />
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
Or open your Profile folder and delete the '''webappsstore.sqlite''' file and hope the "Search Container" on the about:home "page" returns to Google. When it '''''is''''' Google, the Google logo appears to the left of the "Search Container"; when the search engine there has been changed to something else, there is no logo to the left of the "Search Container" - AFAIK. -
The green PHONE icon has dropped from the bottom of the home screen and isn't among the icons that I have installed. I can get to it by searching but how do I get it back on the bottom of the home screen?
Reset home screen layout.
This is covered in the manual:

i do not have credit card but in review your account always ask about the card information. what should i do?
Call the Apple Store and ask them what you should do if you want to purchase on line without a credit cart and without purchasing a gift card which seems to me would require a credit card.

Firefox 9.01; Windows 7 64 bit;
One of my set of home pages is the basic Google search page. When I open this, I can immediately start typing and the words appear in the Google search box.
If however I open a new tab (white cross far right of tab bar) and start typing, the words appear in the address bar, not in the Google search box. Of course once I click in the search box I can carry on: but I'd like to make it start there as it does with the homepage.If you want a specific webpage (like the Google page) to always open when you open a New Tab, you can use the following add-on to Open New Tabs with your Favorite Pages:
-> NewTabURL 2.2.3
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
* NewTabURL will not work until you set the page that you want to open in the Options for it.
* click Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to NewTabURL.
Check and tell if its working.
Not related to your problem but do the following:
-> Update Firefox to the latest version 10
* [[Installing Firefox on Windows]]
-> Update All your Firefox Plugins -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/

Before recently upgrading firefox I was able to just click on the arrow on the google toolbar. They still come up but will not let me click on them, I have to type it in everytime.
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

Smooth Scrolling has stopped in Google search but only Google search, how can I fix, thanks
There are scrolling 2 modes in Google search as far as I know one which I have always used which is smooth scrolling and the other where it jumps to the next site individually. Somehow after an update or something Google search on Firefox has stopped smooth scrolling. I also use safari and google search still smooth scrolls there.
Anyway in advanced smooth scrolling is checked.
If you are able to help please let me know.
ThanksHi 1ermintrude1,
Please try to forget the site by going to the page about:permissions and clicking "Forget this site" as well as please Reset Firefox.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Same as above. I'm concerned about using internet explorer at this time. I would appreciate your response.
What is the warning you are reading about ?
This is probably not really a Firefox support question if it relates to Search engines.
The Google Search used is an HTTPS version and so that helps with security. Firefox itself has some security features built in. You may find these articles of interest.

* [[How does built-in Phishing and Malware Protection work?]] -
My computer has a virus that makes Google searches in Firefox be redirected to other sites - mostly search engines. I've used McAfee, Malwarebytes and others, and I cannot find the solution. I suspect that the virus is hiding itself as a program, using Java to deploy. Any help will be more than helpful!
Well your Flixxy.com stuff isn't related to it. What exactly you are looking for is here.
"firefox" > options > options
Under the General Tab, specify your home page in this case google.com.
If you are facing trouble with the home page being reset every time, then try starting firefox in safe mode.

In the past couple of days, every time I close Firefox 8.0, it re-sets the internet configuration to "manual configuration" -- which generates a "proxy server refusing connections" error message. I have to re-set to "no proxy" every time I re-open the browser. This never happened before yesterday. What can I do to make the "no proxy" setting an automatic default on opening? ISP is Verizon high-speed.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

After a google (etc) search, instead of the colours I set (in tools\options\content\colours) do not show. If I set a visited website to show yellow (e.g.), it just shows the regular blue (no different from the "unvisited" sites.
There was a time when, regardless of my settings, the visited sites would show a slightly different colour blue - not so now.
I have Windows XP Pro SP2* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the Browsing History.
* Make sure that the History is set to at least 1 day: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember visited pages for at least"
* Make sure that you do not start Firefox in Private Browsing mode (Tools > Stop Private Browsing is grayed, see [[Private Browsing]])
* To see History and Cookie settings in Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history"

Iphone5 - safari is set touse google search, but redirects to a bogus site
When i use the web search in safari, it normally goes to google and displays my results. However, a few days ago it started sending me to a yahoo page that says 'this page cannot be found'. And when I try to enter the URL for google, it takes me to a google look-alike, but it isn't actually google. Nor does the page work.
Search works fine if I set the phone to Yahoo or Bing, but I much prefer Google. And frankly, I'm concerned I may have gotten some sort of iphone malware...Settings > Safari >

Firefox is simply unresponsive when I try to save a page as a bookmark, I have tried clicking the star in the URL bar, using ctrl-D, right clicking on the page, and saving from the bookmarks tab. None of these options do anything at all.
I have tried turning off different add ons but have not had any success. The only time I can get it to save a bookmark is if I bookmark my homepage, then it will save that, but nothing else.This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
