Firefox android doesn't honour default actions. eg click and instagram link - other browsers will open instagram app, Firefox will go to the site

Hi,
Thanks for using Firefox for Android! We are working on a fix for this, so you can choose to have Firefox open the app or the web page, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769454

Why FireFox Doesn't have Paste and go like other Browsers?

Why FireFox Doesn't have Paste and go like other Browsers?
This Is The One Thing Missing From firfox Other Than That
It Is a Great Browser

You're welcome.
You can download the beta, but you should remember that it is still a beta version and that there are still bugs that need to be resolved. The beta versions are released as test versions to make it possible to get as many bugs fixed as possible before the final release.
Make sure that you create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile to avoid the beta version from corrupting the Firefox 3.6.x profile. 
The Firefox beta version install by default in their own program folder and do not replace the currently installed Firefox 3.6.x release.

CS6 stamp tool doesn't work with action / record ( tool record is enabled ) other tools works

CS6 stamp tool doesn't work with action / record ( tool record is enabled ) other tools works

At one time tool recording was not possible and if you install Adobe Scriptlistener Plug-in Adobe will disable tool recording its never an option.
I use and record actions all the time and was looking forward to tool recording when Adobe announced it. However I found what they delivered was of very limited value because of the restrictions. I do not care that Adobe disables tool recording on my machine.
The amount of data that gets reordered seems also vary between machines. I found that Action recorded on fast machine are not usable on slow machine. Fast machine recorder too much data.
Documents you use such action on must also have the same size and resolution as the document you recorded the action on. Quite a restriction.
You problem may also be foxed in CC 2014 sett here Photoshop CS6 - Recording the clone tool in an action gives incorrect results on replay.

I copied this from your 5.0 download information: "All of the App Tabs you have set when you close Firefox will open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again." When I opened my computer today all my apptabs from yesterday had disappeared. Why?

Your download page for 5.0 stated: All of the App Tabs you have set when you close Firefox will open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again.
I liked the convenience of using App Tabs and was disappointed to find that the ones I had set up yesterday were gone today. Am I doing something wrong?

Works fine for me, I can simulate your problem by improperly closing Firefox.
The correct way would be to close the windows you don't want and then to exit Firefox through the File ("'''Alt+F'''") menu then use '''Exit''' or '''Qui'''t depending on your system.
But '''I can simulate your problem''' by closing the good window with "X" in the upper right-corner first (the one with the app-tabs) and then close the other window by any means.
You restart Firefox and open a window, since you closed without app-tabs there are none so you just see a window with your home page.
Firefox has some things added to Firefox 4 and therefore in Firefox 5.
# "'''Alt+S'''" (Hi'''s'''tory menu)
# "'''Restore Previous Session'''" (that's the window without the app-tabs, but you have to this first)
# "'''Restore Recently Closed Windows'''" -- can choose which window to reopen based on name and the mouse-over tells how many tabs. or you just use "'''Restore All Windows'''" without the guessing.
''I know you are on a Mac, and this affects Windows user more than anybody else, but it does affect other systems besides Windows, occasionally, perhaps more often now with the plugins container.''
The following may not completely eliminate having to terminate Firefox through the Windows Control Panel but it will come very close.
'''Plug-in and tasks started by Firefox may continue after attempting
to close Firefox''' The "X" in the upper right-hand corner closes the
Window (same as Ctrl+Shift+W) but even if it is the last Firefox window,
it does not necessarily close Firefox .
The only '''proper way to exit Firefox''' is to use '''Exit''' through the
File menu, not the "X" in the upper right corner of last Firefox window.
In the Firefox 4 and 5 that would be Alt+F then X
* '''Firefox hangs''' | Troubleshooting | Firefox Support http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20hangs#w_hang-at-exit
Use the '''Windows Task Manger''' to remove all running firefox.exe in the "'''Processes'''" tab of the Windows Task Manager, then restart Firefox.
If Firefox will still not start, remove the parent.lock file from the profile which is created each time Firefox is started to prevent other Firefox tasks from running, see

'''Avoiding Problems with close/restart''' ''choose either extension''
:Use to close and restart Firefox after enabling or disabling an extension, switching to a new theme, or modifying configuration files, then you don't have to worry about delay or have to look in the Task Manager to see if Firefox is closed yet.
Both extensions use the same keyboard shortcut "'''Ctrl+Alt+R'''" or a file menu option.

If I try to log in to my Hotmail account in Firefox, Hotmail says my Hotmail account doesn't exist, while I can problemlessly log in in other browsers

When I open Hotmail in Firefox and try to log in, Hotmail says my account doesn't exist. But I can problemlessly log in in other browsers, so I'm sure there's no problem with my account. Further, I'm absolutely sure I didn't misspell anything. Before this problem occured, I've always been able to log in to my Hotmail account in Firefox. I've already tried clearing my cookies and history, but it still doesn't work.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?

Is there a way to change the default action for clicking a "Print" button on a website to open Print Preview instead of the default system printer?

When I am at a website that contains a button for printing (Gmail, for example), is there a way to change the way that functions, so that when I click "Print", Firefox will open Print Preview instead of taking me to the default system printer?

You can apply system-wise "negative" color effect under Settings > General > Accessibility, by toggling the White and Black switch - and, in iCab Mobile (and some other, better browsers / PDF readers), its own "night mode" negative color scheme.
Otherwise, no, you can't do anything else except for asking third party app authors to add selectable back/froeground (=text) colors to their apps.

Firefox doesn't show jpg files from a web page while other browsers do

I have created a page and uploaded www.nutechequipments.com/equipment.html page doesn't show the jpg files in only firefox everywhere including Dubai. But all the other browsers show the uploaded jpg pictures in perfect manner. In Firefox only the table is loaded with placeholders. It is not a problem with my computer. It is the problem all over the world.
the sample html code is given below:
<pre><nowiki><td><img src="equip\equip.jpg" size width="110" height="90"></td><td><img src="equip\equip1.jpg" size width="110" height="90"></td><td><img src="equip\equip (2).jpg" size width="110" height="90"></td><td><img src="equip\equip (3).jpg" size width="110" height="90"></td></nowiki></pre>

You have backslashes (\: escaped as %5C as seen in Tools > Page Info > Media) in the scr attribute of the images and that doesn't work in Firefox.
You need to change the backslashes to forward slashes

Skip by default 0000 (Actions) from PA40 and shows any other like 0185.

Hi Gurus.
As you know, in PA40, its run infotype 0000 bydefult before executing any other defined infotype. I would like to skip 0000 and want to run first 0185 then 0000 and after that any other infotype. This is because when by default pa40 call 0000 (action) its first create employee then execute other infotypes in a sequence. To display 0185 bydefault is to check first employee id either its exist in sap or not then proceed other infotypes.
Thanx and waiting for response.

Thanks, Jim!
So, here’s how I understand the steps I need to take:
Create 6 slides, one for each question. Create captions and other elements to frame the question. Create a Text Entry Box, one on each of the question slides, where the user will record their answer to each question.
Create a caption on the first question slide where the total score will be compiled. Display this object for the rest of the project. Type $$v_total$$ in the text of the caption.
Create one variable for each question.
Create an advanced action that adds all of the associated variables into the v_total variable.
Apply the advanced action to the appropriate quiz slides.
I was able to duplicate what you sent me, so I know that it works.
One follow-up question: If users want to retake the quiz, I need another action that will reset the v_total variable to zero, right? Where do I apply this advanced action?

Why does firefox keep making it my default browser when I keep changing it to IE it changes back to firefox

So every time I go to firefox it makes it my default broser but I dont want it to i changed it to IE but it changes back to firefox again. And I dont want firefox as default.

Every time Firefox opened

Hello Mandy.
I can't think of a scenario where Firefox would make itself the default browser against the user's consent. Still, go into Tools > Options > Advanced > General > System defaults and untick that small box at the bottom of the window that talks about Firefox asking you each time it starts.
Hopefully that will fix the issue.

When I start Firefox by clicking on a link in e-mail or another document, Firefox starts downloading an update, even though I already have 4.0.1 up to date.

When Firefox is not started and I click on a link in an e-mail document, as it starts up, Firefox acts like I need an update and starts downloading an update. After "updating" several times, I verified that I have 4.0.1 and it is up to date, but this continues to happen every time Firefox starts up as the default browser.

Extensions
Produtools Manuals 2.1 Community Toolbar 3.21.0.1 ({b2bf7b3f-bf0b-4c48-aec6-f92c51be63e1})

Pressing the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by; '''Tools > Add-ons.'''
Hot key; '''<Control> ''(Mac: <Command>)'' <Shift> A)'''
On the left side of the page, select Extensions.

Clicking on a link no longer starts/opens that site in Firefox since update to 6.0.2

For example, clicking on a link to a website in an email returns an Outlook error. This started immediately after updating Firefox to version 6.0.2. For the moment I can't repeat the error without making Firefox my default browser again. Until I find out what to do I intend to keep Internet Explorer as my default browser.
I have NOT tried Firefox with add-ons disabled.

I don't know what is going on but for whatever reason it is all working now! Have done nothing further to fix the problem.

Firefox does not start for very long after clicking!!If another browser is opened Firefox opens after that.

Firefox does not open after clicking on the Firefox icon on my desktop. Occasionally it opens after a very long time and that also a number of pages open at the same time equal to the number of times hat I clicked the icon trying to open. If I open another browser like Google Chrome after trying to open Firefox then Firefox follows it to open much quicker after Google chrome opens.

Recently when I click on a link from an email, Firefox started opening a new Firefox instead of a tab. I have checked and my option is set to open a new tab

This happens in e-mail and also from other browser windows

Firefox includes options of how to handle different content types, in your case the mailto links are probably set to "Use Firefox". For details of how to fix this see [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]], in particular the section "Change the action for a content type".

Firefox 21 is ruining my online experience, it pauses and gets stuck whenever I re-open my computer. It takes 20 minutes to stablize. I want to go back to 20.

Ever since I updated to 21, my laptop gets hung up and I did the dl start from mozilla firefox. I need to go back to 20.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Mouse works fine, great in other browsers but barely works in firefox

I'm about to permanently ditch Firefox as this is most annoying. Mouse performs perfectly in other browsers - I'd prefer to stay with Firefox but with this problem unless I can fix it I'm thru its just too annoying and time-consuming. Mouse doesn't scroll I have to get on top and drag it along in tiny increments take forever to move thru site.
