Firefox 6 search asks for proxy login for EVERY SINGLE KEYSTROKE! argh
Start FF6 behind a proxy that requires authentication. Start typing into the search box... FF pops up the proxy user/password box after about three chars - the rest of your search trashes the remembered details in the dialogue. Backspace all that out, hit escape (or enter your password)... back in the search box re-enter the chars that were lost from the search... three chars later the same happens. Basically, the proxy-authenticate dialogues don't interact well at all with the keystroke search box.
Let me show you. Did the attachment, edited for my privacy, show you what happens when I try to open a new URL?

When setting up a Firefox Sync account I was never asked a secret phrase. When I try to use Firefox Home it asks for the secret phrase. What do I do? (using Firefox 3.6.10, iphone 4 and macbook OS X
On the MacBook, open up the Preferences dialog and go to the Sync panel. Click the Manage Account button so it shows more options, then click on the My Sync Key link to show you the Sync Key.
The sync key is the same as the secret phrase, it was renamed in recent versions of Firefox Sync. -
We have used the Dragon Dictate add on for the past 4 months with no problem (the last 2 versions of Firefox I believe). Now since the new version launched this morning, there is pop-up warning for every single website visited - "Allow www.xxxx.com to run Dragon Dictate Internet" along with a 'Continue Blocking' or 'Allow' button. Why is this here since it was not present before? Surely there must be a global setting where I can switch this off rather than have to click a button and choose 'Allow' for every single website we go to?? Or is this something that Dragon has to fix in how it deals with the new version of Firefox?
You are a genius.
Why didn't I see that Tab?? Lack of sleep certainly does make one blind..
many thanks -

Firefox 12 installer asks for Administrator account
I am trying to do a fresh install of Firefox 12 on my Windows Ultimate x64. When I try to run the installer, it asks for Administrator rights.
Regardless of what I choose (use my current account, which is an administrator account OR type in the password for the main Administrator account), the installer does nothing. Just stops, without any errors, etc.
1. Why does this version of Firefox need to use the main Administrator account? For the previous versions (and for any other browser) a regular administrator account is enough. What exactly is Firefox 12 doing to the system that requires more access rights?
2. How (in case I decide to go through with this install) can I convince it to actually install?Hi,
I did, if I select run as Administrator or if I tick the "run as administrator" in the properties, then it runs.
But I still want to know *why* Firefox 12 wants administrator rights to install? No other browser requires that and even Firefox 11 installs ok without administrator rights. -
whenever I try to download firefox beta on my laptop it asks for an adminstrator password but when i put it in it says wrong user " name or password" so I try to by pass that by trying to download as user but then nothing happens the dialog box disappears and I have to start the download all over again. I'm trying to sync firefox with my android phone but I can't get the desktop/laptop version going.
Since installing Windows 7 there have been some weird goings on with my laptop.
I kept muddling around with this and ran a few diagnostics only to find that everything was fine. There was an incompatibility problem with Windows 7 and Firefox (safe mode) which I cared for by simply agreeing with everything Windows 7 wanted to do. It made an adjustment and apparently between the two programs they worked it out.
I tried downloading Firefox 4 beta one more time...using a fresh download in my Firefox browser and from the Firefox webpage. Oddly, this time the program downloaded saved itself to my laptop. I was able to open and install it without incident.
Now, I am all sync'd up!
Thank you very much for your assistance -
Can't get Firefox to stop asking for a profile on startup?
Hello,
I am currently running Firefox version 3.5.4 on a server that works somewhat like a kiosk. I downloaded the "Full Screen 3.4" Add-On which does what it is supposed to do just fine. I also created a symbolic link to /usr/lib/firefox/firefox executeable in /etc/init.d so when the computer boots up Firefox will startup automatically. But the problem is that after boot-up and firefox opens, it asks me to select a profile, even though I selected "Don't ask at Startup".
Why can't I get it to open without needing me to tell it a profile?
Thanks,
MattIt is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

What is the password it asks for every time I try to download something?
Everytime i try to download something it asks for a password. I dont know what this password is supposed to be????

I did not create a password when i logged in, i was told i would be able to do that later. How do I create a password with my user?
That is fine.
Here is how to create a password with your user :
System Preferences, System, Users & Groups, Change Password (to the left of you display picture).
If you cannot find this then please insert a screen shot of your Users & Groups page in System in System Preferences.
I hope this helps. -
Dots (events) for every single day in calendar (NEW issue)
Ever since I upgraded to FW 2.0 I have had "dots" appear in every single day of the calendar (symbolizing events) even though I have no events for those days.
Now - I KNOW about the issue with the recurring/repeating events as well as events that "begin" after they "end." That said, I have checked EVERY single event I have in the phone and in the calendar in Outlook and NONE of the events are repeating/recurring and all of them are set up properly with correct start/end times.
From my searching, the above seems to be what's commonly known to cause this problem. Those don't fit MY problem.
The odd thing here is, if I go backward in the month view on the calendar on the phone to February, there are no dots. There are also no events. However, if I go to March on the month view in the calendar, every single day has dots (and continues). The really weird thing here is if you look at the calendar in the month view while it's on March, you can see the last week of February at the top. And in that last week, while in the "March" view, the last week of February ALL has dots. But again, if you move back to "February," all those dots that were there disappear.
So...I'm at a loss now. I've wiped the events off the phone. Edited/pruned/etc. events in the Outlook calendar, and then re-synced with the order to overwrite that which is on the phone. Still no luck. Is this a glitch that needs to be corrected with new FW? Would a restore help? I just don't really know anymore..
Thanks,
JohnI am having the same issue. However, I am syncing my calendar to my work computer and the issue presented itself when I upgraded to Office 2007 from 2003. I have since removed Office '07 and did a restore to my iphone which cleared the issue. Then did a sync again to Office 2003 and the issue re-appeared. Not sure if '07 added something to my calendar that is hidden but it is very frustrating.

Finder 'Requires Password' for every single file deletion...
Had to make a quick fix today with an Archive & Install...
One remaining annoyance is that Finder prompts for password for almost every single file (using the ommand + Delete method).
Any thoughts?Hello v:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
If the keychain is the problem (I do not know from your post), the article below will amplify what to do to fix it.

After upgrade firefox does not ask for restart
On Linux Mint when Firefox is opened and meanwhile operating system package manager upgrades Firefox, then FF does not notify me that it needs restart.
I notice it since some extension stops working. Later I have checked package manager logs and see, that FF had been updated. Wasn't in older versions so that FF notified me that restart is needed for firefox?
Is it a bug or I have some setting missing. I need notification window be visible as long as user closes it or firefox is restarted...Looks like that yea. I found out that for Ubuntu there is xul-ext-ubufox package which should do almost needed thing. I will install it into mint.
Integrates the browser with Ubuntu to:
* Enable searching for missing plugins from Ubuntu software catalog
* Add the following options to the Help menu - Get help on-line - Help
translating Firefox - Ubuntu Release Notes
* Set homepage to Ubuntu Start Page
* Display a restart notification after upgrading Firefox
* Add ask.com to the search engines. -
Firefox makes Yahoo ask for my password always to get mail
'''bold text'''I got firefox to work perfectly with Windows XP on my main computer, but not on the laptop.
The problem is simple - I have to uninstall Microsoft IE, to make things work perfectly. In the uninstal program of my laptop running on Windows 7 the Internet Explorer name is not visible. I know all about defaults, and Using windows to turn off the program. I HAVE TO UNINSTALL.
All my passwords are stored to RoboForm. NO PROBLEM.
But everytime I want to use Yahoo Mail it is asking me for my password. EVERY DARN TIME. On Windows EP I had this problem until I got rid of IE.
I like fire fox, I want it. It is fast. But this problem stops me from using it.Websites remembering you and automatically log you on is stored in a cookie.

I've downloaded Firefox on several computers and have never had a problem in the past. You click the most recent version and the download process is just as described. However, this time around (maybe b/c I'm using Windows7?) I would click download, Run, and then it would ask if I would give Firefox permission to make changes to my computer. This sounds really weird, and I don't think I was asked that before. If I say no, the download remains incomplete. Why does this happen? And every time I click on the download link, the file name for where it's "From" differs. Why is that?

Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory. -
Msn has become our default browser instead of firefox when we ask for Firefox
We have not designated MSN as our default browser and it keeps coming up as default. We find it irritating since it just makes more steps.
http://msn.com might be your home page it is not a browser. Microsoft's browser is Internet Explorer. If you start in Firefox you stay in Firefox.
Having msn.com as your home page, if that is the problem, still doesn't really explain how that makes more steps for you. So we have to assume what you want to do, or expect.
Type '''about:home''' into the location bar, and if that is what you want for a home page then
# Tools ("Alt + T") > Options > General
# When Firefox starts: Show my home Page
# Click on "Restore to default"
