Firefox 3.6.13 not changing themes, taking a forced color scheme.

I've got two issues that I have a hunch are tied together -
#1:
Firefox 3.6.13 won't accept a new theme - any theme. I've done a full uninstall/reinstall, launch in admin mode, uninstall the themes, uninstall the themes from safe mode, and done a complete nuke (deleting profile directories, all info under appdata/programdata, etc) and reload, and see the same problem. It's always on the default theme.
#2:
Color overrides aren't working. I use a modified high-contrast theme in Windows 7 (not using Aero Glass) with black window backgrounds. Even though I've turned on "Allow pages to choose their own colors" and turned off "Use system colors" (and tried every combination thereof), and tried specifying background colors within FF, I get no results. It still uses the system background and font colors.

cor-el -
Thanks for the suggestion. It's certainly saving most other preferences, just not activating themes or using assigned colors.
I closed FF, deleted prefs.js, and tried again but got the same results. I know it deleted the prefs as when I reopened firefox it took me to the default start page, which is not what was configured previously. I have no user.js file to test. I'm also not running any of the mentioned AV software.
Ultimately the problem remains. Look forward to any more suggestions -
Thanks.

    Hi
       -I have organized all my songs in iTunes ,deleted unwanted songs and updated the album artwork but it has not changed them in my iTunes media folder location in my C Drive.
       How do I update it there so it is the same as my iTunes now so i can back it all up?
    Thankyou.

    I solved my problem. Here's how:
    1. Right click iTunes and click properties from the "Windows 8 Desktop" (or if you want to call it the 7 desktop thats fine too)
    2. Select the compatibility tab.
    3. Set compatibility mode to Windows 7 and click apply.
    4. Open iTunes, sign into iTunes store, Turn on iTunes Match, Add your computer.
    5. Close Program
    6. Restart Computer

  • Can anything be done to change the white on grey color scheme in Bookmarks?

    I just upgraded my Mac Book Pro to OS X Version 10.9.1. I was horrified when I got a look at what Apple has done to Safari!  I have macular degeneration - which means that my eyesight is slowly fading away.  Bookmarks was especially difficult because all of the bookmrks are shown with a white on grey color scheme.  And when the "new" Apple color schemes are not white on grey - they are grey on white.  I simply can NOT see anything which is white on grey.  OR white on ANY light color.  In order to be able to see anything, I need to have contrast.  For example, as I type on this page, the scroll bar is grey on white.  It has become almost impossible for me to find the scroll bar on most pages.  Previously, my scroll bars where usually bright blue.  I can see bright blue on white - but NOT grey on white.  I can read white letters on BRIGHT or DARK Blue -but NOT light blue. 
    Apple has made SO many strides in makes computers accessable to those of us who have no other choice except to deal with disabilities!  Can ANYTHING be done to change the white on grey color scheme which Apple has adopted throughout its system? 
    Now, in order to use my Bookmarks, I have to go to my Edit Bookmarks page.  Even that solutation is not all that helplful, because the lettering on the Edit Bookmarks page is so small. 
    Also - I discovered that the "new" Mail pages had the same problem.  For the most part, the "innovations" in mail make all of the pages too busy for me to be able to sort my mail or keep track of it in any way.  I had to choose to return to the "classic" mail option to be able to get a reasonable facsimile of being able to handle my E mail accounts! 
    And, of course, once again, the scroll bar on my mail accounts is also grey on white - so it takes a lot of searching for me to just find the scroll bar when I need to scroll down in an E mail!
    ALSO - I was equally horrified when I discovered that the Upgrade to Version 10.9.1 made it impossible for me to visit some of my favorite music pages - most of which use MIDI files!  I can no longer hear any of my favorite MIDI music pages!  I TUNES, of course, is in love with people like Lady Gaga - the type of performers - and performances - which have no relevance to older Americans. 
    I do volunteer work at a local Assisted Living facility and one of the greatest advances we have been able to make with Alzheimers patients is the way in which Senior Citizens respond to music from their time period.  Unfortunately, most of the music which senior citizens prefer to listen to is music which has been preserved in MIDI pages.  A few weeks before I "upgraded" my Mac Book Pro - I could take my computer over to the local Assisted Living Facility and play music from Hymn Time's Cyberhymnal or the Angelwinks tunes - but I can NO longer do that with the current Apple "upgrade" in version 10.9.1 - because the music from those MIDI pages can no longer be heard by anyone!  The page comes up and you can see the writing - but no one can hear any of the music.  We understand that a group in Switzerland has been working on an APP for I Phones which DOES make MIDI files accessable - so surely it should be possible to provide a way for Version 10.9.1 users to listen to MIDI files, such as those provided by Hymn Time's Cyber Hymnal or by Angelwinks! 
    You will notice that I changed the font for this to Arial Black - primarily because I could NOT see what I was writing when I first began - because, once again, the color scheme was grey on white.

  • Firefox is set to NOT change to a newly opened tab yet it is doing so anyway

    Firefox is set in Options to NOT change to the newly opened tab. However, when I open a new tab or open a new window which opens as a tab instead it is automatically switching me to that newly opened tab.
    I am using the latest version of Firefox after having had to install a new motherboard on my system and reinstalling all my programs

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I switched to Verizon ISP. They configured my pc (Win7) to make their tabs appear in Firefox. I do not want them, and I don't want to manually close them when I open Firefox. How do I delete them permanently, or block them from appearing?

    They also appear in IE, and I don't want them there either, but that is not so important as I seldom use IE.

    The paper you cite has nothing to do with the question I posed. It deals with the page(s) Firefox opens when it starts. My question is about all the little tabs shown at the top of that page -- put there by Verizon -- which I do not want! Before Verizon mucked with my computer only 1 tab showed up there when I opened Firefox: my start page. Now all kinds of tabs to Verizon pages show up there automatically. I want them banished!

  • Can not change themes after upgrading to 6.0

    I installed my desktop software , connected my 9300 curve via usb and an update/upgrade of blackberry 6.0 was available. After fully installing I cannot change my themes. Themes are still available in my app world and no longer gives the run or activate option. Please help....

    This Apple doc is a good place to start -> iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
    Note: iOS 6 uses AVRCP 1.4, so you may need to update the reciever in the car to make it compatible with with all versions of ACRCP.

  • I made my Apple ID questions when I was in 5th grade, and I can not remember them, my emergency email was deleted, and my birth date wont work, I am freaking out! How do I get my ID questions?

    I wrote my apple ID questions in 5th grade, and am in 9th now, so I can notremember them. my emergency email with the info was deleted, so I can not change them, and for some reason, my birht date will not go through, so I must have put the wrong thing in 5th grade, and I am freaking out!

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • Calendar events keep changing back after I change them

  • Change Themes

    Hi everybody
    I've an issue creating my Web site. I've choosen a theme (the black one) but i'd like to upgrade it a little bit : I'd like to change the font and to increase the movies size on the podcast section.
    I can do that page by page and textfield by textfield ; I'd have been happy to find a tip to change the values within the theme itself (the reason of this question title) once for all.
    Do you know how to proceed ? (or a process to get the same result ?). Is it an upgrade of the '09 version ?
    Plesae let me know ?
    Olivier

    You are not changing themes in this case and theme changing in iWeb '08 will reset all your text to the default anyway.
    As far as I know, which isn't much, the upgrades in iWeb '09 are not practical in the way that you want.

  • I would like my google toolbar back and all my icons gmail and now with firefox 5 it is not compatiable why did you not ask me before taking them away with upgrade?????

    I would like to roll back to previous version of Firefox that I had, because the upgrade took away Google toolbar which I loved and the g mail icons and Google this and that I had and now your Firefox is not compatible with Google tool bar so I cannot re-install them. Can I have the prior version back of Firefox.

    Extensions for Firefox, such as the Google Toolbar, include a list of compatible Firefox versions. Currently, the Google Toolbar only goes up to Firefox 4. However, people have tested and it actually works on Firefox 5, so there are two workarounds:
    (1) Edit a file to revise the range of compatible versions
    (2) Install an add-on that lets you ignore the range of compatible versions
    This thread has info on both approaches: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/837142 google toolbar does not work with firefox 5.0. why not! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].
    Any luck?
    Oh, and due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended.

  • Firefox 4 proxy settings do not save after I change them.

    Every time I restart Firefox the proxy settings are changed to "manual" and it has a specific HTTP proxy address and port set. A few days ago I ran AVG's PC TuneUp and it optimized Firefox and my internet connection. I thought this might be the problem but after disabling it, Firefox 4 still doesnt work unless I change the settings myself every time. Help?

    Ok I fixed it.. It was my Wolfram-Alpha search engine add on
    If your proxy settings are going crazy, open the Add-on manager, disable one, restart firefox, continue until you figure out which one is messing up the settings.

  • All of a sudden, my settings have been changed, my homepage, and EVERYTHING. No matter how many times I go in and change them again, the SAME pages open up when I start FireFox and I am constantly being asked if I want Yahoo as my start page and default s

    I don't know what happened. All of a sudden, my settings have been changed, my homepage, and EVERYTHING. No matter how many times I go in and change them again, the SAME pages open up when I start FireFox and I am constantly being asked if I want Yahoo as my start page and default search engine. I click the box 'do not ask me again' and it comes up EVERY TIME. I change things like I don't want history remembered, and when I reload FireFox again, it's back to the way it was BEFORE. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I don't know why this is happening, or how to fix it. What do I do??

    I do not want to download another virus program.. I do not believe it is a virus. I am running the full version of Norton 360 and it is doing a daily scan. I have Windows 7, 64 bit OS.
    This is very irritating !! If I wanted Yahoo I would ask for it !

  • You changed the order of the menu for "Open in a new window" or "Open in new Tab", How can I change it back? Or how can I omit any reference to tabs? I do not use them at all.

  • Privacy settings have not changed, but Firefox 18 is keeping me logged into facebook

    I work for a FB game developer, and as a result I need to wipe cookies/cache in my browsers frequently. I have had Firefox set up to delete cookies when Firefox closes. This prevented me from staying logged into Facebook after closing Firefox. After upgrading to Firefox 18.0.2, I remain logged into my Facebook account even though I have not changed the cookie settings, nor have I selected the "keep me logged in" option on Facebook. Why has this behavior started and how do I make it stop if my settings haven't changed?

    I set them both to 2, and it didn't make a difference.
