Firefox Browser showing on all desktops

My Firefox Browser shows up in all my desktops when scrolling. Is there an update to keep this from happening?

Chrome displays that website faster, but takes almost 8 minutes to complete loading it as well.
I did some research, and the issue is to do with some advertisements on the page which take a long time to load. Using an advertisement blocking extension, like uBlock, allows this page to load in 8 seconds instead of 8 minutes (in my tests). You can get uBlock here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock/

Can't clear drop down in second bar of firefox browser (history) tried all the usual procedures

On the left side in the second bar of firefox browser is a small box that when you click on the arrow drop down occurs with past history. I cannot clear this no matter what I do using all the conventional procedures any suggestions? This is a mac os x

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions 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.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Activity monitor does not show on all desktops/spaces

Hi,
I like to see what my processor load is and so I keep activity monitor running all the time, and I like to be able to see what's happening regardless of which Desktop/Space I'm working in at the time. So I right clicked the activity monitor in the dock and selected Options->All desktops. But although that works in the other apps I've tried, Activity monitor refuses to exist in more than one desktop. Anyone know what to do about it? It used to work in Snow Leopard, but isn't in Lion for me.
thanks!

It works for me with one quirk. If I go to empty Desktop 2 it appears, if I return to Desktop 1 it's hidden behind other windows.
Regards,
Captfred

A div in a site am developing is not showing in firefox but shows on all the other browsers (chrome, safari, opera and explorer), can anyone help?

i am developing a site and i used divs in making the arrangements.
all other divs on the page shows but on particular one does not show.
i gave all the divs a border with a red color, all the other browsers(explorer, opera, chrome and safari ) shows the divs with the colors but firefox does not even show the red color

Can you post a test case demonstrating the problem? It doesn't need to contain confidential content or active links. (This forum doesn't handle raw HTML very well, so I don't recommend pasting code here unless you convert your angle brackets to HTML entities.)

My Firefox browser, shows "It is strongly recommended that you apply this update to Firefox as soon as possible". When I click "View more information about this update" nothing happens. Nor does anything happen when I click "Next". Is this a virus??

On opening Firefox I keep getting the above msg. Sometime ago, there was a virus posing to be a Windows XP Security Update, which was removed. According to CA who provides virus protection, this is a matter for Firefox.
Hence my concern that this may be a virus.
Would appreciate your advice. Thanks

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Why does the firefox browser show information that is not normal

when i first use ff in the am, all appears okay; however in the early afternoon the screen doesn't show the information in the same format, it appears strange with out info as it is suppose to be. It is a little hard to explain exactly what is happening but it happens every day. Even if I close & reopen the browser.

Why do calendars show on all desktops

When i open the calendar on my Mac Mini it shows up on all open desktops. How do i change it to show only on the desktop it was opened in?

Jem24,
I start out in the "Artists" list. When I touch on an artist, that takes me to a list of albums. Unfortunately, since I upgraded to 7.0.4, the albums also show a list of tracks for each album with trach #, title, and time. For only one or two albums this isn't a problem. For 20 albums, it really slows things down. These are the same actions that prior to 7.0.4 took me to a list of albums without tracks. I never saw tracks until I touched on an album. The album list was concise and manageable. Now the album list is a mess.
What iOS version are you using?

How can I paste an MS Word document directly into gmail using Firefox browser, without losing all formatting?

I'm trying to paste a simple MS Word doc directly into the body of a Gmail email, but all formatting goes out the window. I've tried downloading a couple different HTML editors, including CoffeeCup (which doesn't work with Firefox) and Firefox's own Firebug, which, quite frankly, no one on this end can figure out (doesn't seem to be as user friendly as CoffeeCup). Please advise, as this will be an ongoing operation which we'll need to be able to perform. Thanks.

First, thanks for your reply. It's greatly appreciated. However, the level of your response fails to address the scope of the original question. Your first supposition is incorrect, that most MS Word docs copy uneventfully into the body of Gmail emails. This only applies to the most basic of MS Word docs (i.e., those utilizing minimal formatting, such as basic letters, etc.) and otherwise runs contrary to dozens of online complaints posted by users such as myself (though not on the Firefox website). Second, everyone knows you can add an attachment to Gmail emails. In this case, the recipient will not accept attachments of any kind, and has therefore asked that the content be copied directly into the email body. This is not uncommon in these cases. Third, the very nature of Notepad makes it unable to translate/interpret any documents beyond the most basic, hence its name: Notepad. Fourth, apparently this problem is rare or virtually non existent with other browsers, as all the complaints online appear to be Firefox related. Again, however, I appreciate you taking a stab at this.

Why does Firefox not show me all pictures on a website

Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings and that you allow pages to choose their colors in Firefox.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Website_colors_are_wrong

"All Desktops" not staying after reboot

I have a few applications which I've set to show on all my desktops (iCal, 1Password, Communicator).
What I have noticed is that after reboot (with restore windows checked) that sometimes those applications do not show up anymore on all my desktops. If I check the setting I can see the option is still checked however. To "resolve" it I need to switch it to say "This Desktop" and then back to "All Desktops".
I'm working with 3 displays: external display (VGA through Thunderbolt) which is the primary, my laptop screen is a secondary monitor and I also have a USB display through DisplayLink as a third monitor. I always put these applications on my secondary monitor (laptop screen).
Anyone else seen this issue? It might be an issue with this in combination with multiple displays.
Thanks.

I can confirm that this behavior is not caused by multiple displays; as I have the same problem using only one monitor.
I consistenly set my Terminal.app settings to show on all desktops, but once the system is rebooted it reverts to displaying on Desktop 1. One has to change it from ‘‘This Desktop’’ to ‘‘All Desktops’’ to get the functionality back.
This is a bug that should be easy for Apple to fix. It would also be nice to have all open applications in a session remember which desktop it was associated with previously, as I have a number of things open which I arrange into different desktops (‘‘spaces’’)--as I'm sure many other users of OS X do as well.

Assign To "All Desktops" doesn't work after restart

Is anyone else having this problem?
I have several apps that I have assigned to show on "All Desktops"; however, after I do a restart, and these apps are magically restored, though they still claim to be assigned to "All Desktops" they only appear on the first desktop.
I have to then assign them to "This Desktop" and back again to "All Desktops" before they will actually display on all desktops.
Though I seldom restart, it is annoying to have to go through the apps and re-set their display settings each time.
I don't know if it is possibly part of the problem, but all the apps I have set to "All Desktops" I display on my second monitor (I do this so I can have things like Safari on my second monitor, and always available, no matter what I am working in on my main display).

This thread offers a solution, but it's vague and too broad: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16190593#16190593
I don't want to delete all my preferences and have to set them up again. So I did some research and I think I figured out a more targeted solution. The preferences file for Spaces in Lion is located here: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.spaces.plist
For some reason, ~/Library is hidden by default in Lion, so to get there you'll have to unhide it. Enter this command in Terminal: chflags nohidden ~/Library
Then, to open and edit that file, you'll need to download the XCode tools, here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id448457090?mt=12
Finally, you'll want to open spaces.plist, find the line that refers to the application you're having trouble with, e.g.:
"com.apple.finder" = "3C65046B-FA18-4983-9219-8140A2B81A41";
Change that long string of letters to "AllSpaces". Save the file and restart and (I hope) that should do it. Will report back when I've tried this. Still waiting for the rather large XCode application to download from the App Store.

Since the most recent Firefox update 3.6.8 my banking institution no longer shows as having a secure encrypted connection, however, my bank assures me all is well with their certificates and that is a problem with the new Firefox browser update, can you give me some idea why it is doing this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Right after the new Firefox update

Hello Anne.
Can you please try it in a new (temporary) Firefox profile and see if the issue is still present? See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles this article] to know how to create a new Firefox profile. Please report back the results.

When I have my Firefox browser running, if I bring up a document from my computer, it appears briefly, then disappears behind the browser. It shows in the taskbar, but won't stay on top until I minimize all other windows.

Hi NicoMan,
According to your description ,we seem to suffer a performance issue here.
Have you tried to open the task manager to check the system performance ? Is there any specific process occupied many system resources ?Will the issue occur only with the specific applications ?
We can try to restart the Windows Explorer process to have a check.
If it only occurred with the spefcific two applications ,we can try to end the other application processes manually from the task manager to have a check .
If this is caused by the specific application ,we may need to look for help from the third party support considering they are all the third party applications .
Best regards

When I try to open Firefox by clicking on the desktop icon, all I get is a Bing search page and no Firefox.

When I click on the Firefox desktop icon, I get a Bing search page. Nothing relating to Firefox is evident and the only way I can get out of the Bing search page is using Control/Alt/Delete. I can't access anything in Firefox at all.

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.
See:

Can you start Firefox in Offline mode via the Profile Manager
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager
If there is a problem with searching via the default about:home page then try to reset the search engine used on the about:home page.
Reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
#Open the about:config page via the location bar
#Type in the Filter bar: mstone
#Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
#Close and restart Firefox
If this didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.
You can reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
