Does FireFox have a security icon like other internet browsers like Safari?

FireFox have a security icon like other internet browsers like Safari?

If you are referring to a "lock", it was removed with the Statusbar in Firefox 4. The S-I-B is used to indicate a secure connection.<br />

This extension will add a "lock" in the S-I-B display.<br />

  • Does Firefox have a security alert popup or is this a disguised ad for a vendor's security software?

    My McAfee software full scan shows no viruses, yet I got a popup in Firefox with the title "Firefox security alert." The popup said my computer has 97 infected objects. The list includes 5 viruses, including one Trojan. There is a Start Protection button. Is this popup from Firefox or is it a disguised ad for some security sw vendor? I did another full scan with McAfee which showed no viruses. Does Firefox scan the users files for viruses???? The popup indicates it was a "quick scan," not a full scan. Is McAfee (which updates on my computer daily) the problem? Or is my laptop affected by "numerous virus attacks" as the popup states. I did not want to press the Start Protection button, since no SW company other than Firefox is mentioned in the popup.

    That is not from Mozilla, Firefox does not scan for viruses or malware. This will be a scam that is trying to get you to install some form of malware/virus.

  • In Windows 7, I have two alternative languages available. however, Firefox does not recognize the alternat keyboards when I choose them. Does Firefox have the ability to add other language keyboards to be available when selected?

    Windows 7 and previous versions gives the ability to add additional keyas validboard selections to be available when selected. The command logo is located on the bottom right of the bottom command bar. I have tried several times to type emails in my Yahoo Mail program while in Firefox, and though the selection shows on the bottom bar, the keyboard is still in English. I do not wish to change the operating language. I just want to have the availability when needed.

    Easiest to switch the keyboard layout is to assign a specific shortcut key to each layout (e.g. Shift+Ctrl+9)

  • Does Firefox have a url autocomplete shortcut, like IE's shift+enter?

    Internet Explorer has a handy feature when typing in url's. When you begin typing and the autocomplete drop-down box pops up, you can press shift+enter to automatically finish typing the top entry and go to that site. Does Firefox have that kind of functionality? I haven't been able to find it in preferences or about:config.

    Yes, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Location+bar+search
    It doesn't work anymore in Firefox 7 if there are multiple domains like support.mozilla

  • How to place an icon of a website (say my bank) onto my desktop for quick, regular access. Also, does firefox have an auto-fill feature?

    How to place an icon of a website (say my bank) onto my desktop for quick, regular access.
    Also, does Firefox have an auto-fill feature?

    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Creating+a+desktop+shortcut+to+a+web+page
    Firefox doesn't have a true "autofill", but rather a form autocomplete. <br />
    [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Form+autocomplete] <br />
    '''The difference being that form autocomplete recalls form data you have completed previously, and sometimes has totally inappropriate suggestions. Whereas, autofill uses data that you set up ahead of time - not "form history", and has a lot better accuracy.'' <br />
    There are a number of extensions that add a true "autofill" to Firefox. <br />

  • Does Firefox have a sidbar with a clock, weather and more add ons like yahoo and Google?

    Does Firefox have a Sidebar like Yahoo and Google that displays a clock, weather, ebay and other add ons?

    Looks like my post ended up in the wrong thread as it doesn't seem to be related to your question (looks like one about multiple Master Password pop-ups), sorry about that.
    Firefox should save the download location as part of the data of each downloaded file in downloads.sqlite, but I do not think that there is a user interface to make that data visible.
    The SQLite Manager shows that data in the Target field.

  • Why does Firefox have to beg for money, like the winos on the street ?

    Why does firefox have to beg for money, like winos on the street ? If I had the money to donate, I gladly would, but I'm disabled on a fixed income and cannot afford to give money to anyone. I ran my own websites a few times, and never once begged for money to pay for my websites. Do you think everyone just sits back on their stack of cash, watching for any vultures that come around ? I've used firefox for 10 years, but if I'm no longer wanted, I will leave. Should I skip a few meals so I can send you 10 dollars, or cancel my doctor's visit for next week ? Maybe I could rake some yards in the neighborhood and make some extra money ? Wait, I can't walk but about 5 minutes, darn ! I had already dropped firefox for this very reason, and I thought the begging would be over, but it's still here ! Even microsoft and google recommend firefox ! It's a great browser, but I just can't afford to give money away. Maybe I could stop feeding my cat, I've heard they can survive without a human's help ? One of us would likely start eating the other ! Here kitty kitty !

    You don't have to donate - just ignore the request and move on with your day.

  • Does Firefox have a program for prteceting my computer form other sites from collecting my typed key strokes,Thanks

    Does Firefox have a program that stops online tracking of my movement to other websites and compiling information about me?
    Thank You.

  • Why does Firefox have to make it so difficult to get answers--I am not going to be able to check the website to see what anyone might reply to my question on crashing?

    I have no way of checking to see if anyone answers this. Why does Firefox have to make it so difficult?
    What does this means: DLL C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\MOZCRT19.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.
    Suddenly all my tabs closed. Then Windows told me I had a gazillion infections. Then a tiny strip appeared saying it was Firefox and these little blocks started to fill up the little strip as if it were downloading something--there was no way to cancel this so I cut the power. Now when I try to use the Firefox icon, I get the message above.
    Am I supposed to remove the old Firefox stuff and start from scratch? I am stuck using Internet Explorer.
    I went to the Firefox website and tried to download it again, but McAffee jumped in and said there is something wrong with Firefox and I should register with them that I am downloading Firefox (I do not have McAffee). Then I got a security warning saying Firefox is not safe.
    I am completely at a loss as to what to do next, since I don't understand any of this mumbojumbo.

    Here's the story on one of your infections, namely JS:Redirector-EH[Trj]: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Trojan%3aJS%2fRedirector.H
    The main problem with malware is that it uses the installation to proliferate by contacting hostile servers to download more of the same rogue code.
    Firefox doesn't have the option to "Run" a file. You can only "Save File" or "Cancel". If you downloaded it with IE8, then yes, you can run it, but that's not what I wanted you to do.
    What you should do now is to disable System Restore. You can open System Properties by hitting the Windows logo key and Pause/Break key together. Then click the "System Restore" tab. Then checkmark the box which says "''Turn off System Restore on all drives''". Reboot to clear its contents. System Restore unfortunately makes a backup of all executables which includes viruses so that when you reboot without deleting them first, System Restore reinstates them again.
    After you complete that step, run Avast and Malwarebytes again to make sure the system is clean.
    Then go to the Windows Update site (link on your start menu) and install the missing patches which enabled your machine to become infected in the first place.
    Once the system is clean, repeat step one to download Firefox again, but please do not run the file. If you don't see the option to "Save File", cancel the download, but it should be there. You can use this direct download link to download FF4.0.1 [http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-4.0.1&os=win&lang=en-US Download Firefox 4.0.1]
    Run the file after you download it to the desktop.

  • Does firefox have anything similar to MSN games? can't find it, and I miss the interaction from texas hold'em and hearts.

    Msn games allows for multiple online players to compete in a variety of games---it looks like firefox is not supported on this[disappointed], nor does firefox have anything close to this up and running.

    '''Edit: '''According to the additional information in your post, you already do have Flash and Java installed. Sorry I didn't notice that before.
    '''Edit #2: '''I took a look at Hearts and you're right: Microsoft prevents you from playing in any browser other than Internet Explorer. I think you will still have to use IE to play those games.

  • Fire fox shows a window which indicates that the yahoo tool bar does not have a security cert. Then runs using 99% processor

    a window pops up when i open Firefox which indicates that the Yahoo tool bar does not have a security cert. Seems to lock up when going to Comcast.net. Uses 99% processor and won't close.

    Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
    Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
    Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?

  • Does Firefox have Active X? If not, how do I get it?

    I am trying to download practice sessions from Microsoft for MS Excel. It said that it could not download the session because my browser did not have Active X. Does Firefox have active X and I have not turned it on? Or how do I get it? Please realize that I am not very computer literate.

    I have been trying to find printer color profiles that Photoshop gives you access to.  Normally they are in files of type .icc.  However, I did find that a lot of printer profiles are in files of type .profile.  Actually files of type .profile contain several different color profiles.  It turns out you can open up the contents of the .profile files by right clicking and selecting show package contents.  It is another finder window.  You can copy the contents to another directory.  That is what I needed because of a beta package I am testing that needed the actual printer profile .icc file.  It is all working now.  However, I am still disappointed that I cannot use Finder to find all of my .icc files on my Macintosh hard drive.
