Firefox does not send a link to a web page when I click this option even though I have marked Gmail as the mail to option in the Options tab of the tools menu. links in the Firefox tab.

I have asked this question several times and have never gotten a response.

I did upgrade, but I still get nothing when I go to a website and click send a link.

Then open FF, tools, options, application settings, search "visio" and change the default to open with Visio. There might be cases where even though Visio is displayed, you'd have to browse to Visio.exe on your Office install path.
This is tested and worked on XP/Win7 with Office 07/10.

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I noticed the problem in early July 2010 after upgrading Shockwave.

HT4550 Why does my Safari open with American version and home page with Apple iPhone 5 advert even though I have changed them in preference

Why does my Safari open with American version, and home page with Apple iPhone 5 advert even though I have changed them in preferences, it happens every time no matter how many times I change them, when I open Safari its back to the USA and Apple home page.

Try this.
Hold the shift key down and launch Safari.
Best.

HT4157 my ipad 4 connects to LTE when I am at home, even though I have wifi. The LTE seems to connect first, bypassing my wifi, and it costs me money. i know i can turn it off on settings but then when i leave home and turn it back on i forget to turn it

my ipad 4 connects to LTE when I am at home, even though I have wifi. LTE is faster so it connects first, which costs me money. I know I can turn LTE off on settings but then when I turn it back on when I go out I forget to turn it back off at home.

My iPad will show a cellular connection even though it is using Wi-Fi as long as I have cellular turned on. Are you sure that your iPad is actually using the cellular instead of Wi-Fi?

Newest firefox does not display aspects of simple html web site correctly

Newest Firefox does not display certain web pages correctly whereas Safari does- previous versions of Firefox worked fine.
The web pages are simple html using bumpers to position photos. Several of these pages allow "see through" in these bumper areas of prior page. It appears that Firefox is not releasing its memory of the prior page. Each of these pages is a specific address and should be loaded as a separate solo page. Please look at html pages 10 and 14 of this site. It seems that the code for these bumpers is not being honored and the persistent memory of the prior page is being intermixed. I cleared the cache and reinstalled Firefox with no change in problem.
Please help.
My business is struggling...

Hello - thanks for your response!
I reinstalled Firefox 7.0.1 - still have the problem.
Cache was cleared.
I tried restarting in safe mode also with no change.
I reinstalled Firefox 6.0.1 - works fine.
I have attached a screen shot showing the problem on 1 of the pages.
These are simple html pages that use .gif bumpers to help position the photos in some cases but not on all of the site pages. The sample screen shot shows the compound problem - the code for the gif bumpers is not being honored and part of the image from the prior page is showing through - the prior page is not being fully released. Each page is a separate entity with a separate address, so when the new page loads there should be no evidence or visibility of the prior one.
This simple bit of website building should be working on this browser, on this Mac with this OS. Safari works. Firefox 6 works.
Sample problem pages are 10 and 14.
Site is http://www.robertbellphoto.com
Thank you so much!

First of all, update Firefox to 3.6.17 via Help | Check For Updates.
There was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.
To uninstall the Yahoo Toolbar, go to Tools | Add-ons | Extensions. You should find it in there.
To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following.
* In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter.
* In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''
* Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q=
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''.
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage.
* Go to '''Tools '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''

* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.

After installing or upgrading to Firefox 31, starting Firefox does not show homepage, customize shows a blank page and the option button does not work

I am the Windows admin for a university department and install PCs with Firefox all the time. This problem does not happen with every PC I maintain, only a select few (different model laptops with Windows 8.1 and update 1.) Until today, it only happened with new user accounts (with admin rights) that I setup on the laptops for our staff. Today this happened with The Administrator account while setting up a new laptop. In all cases so far, I install Windows from a saved image that was created using sysprep.
I have tried the many suggestions of resetting Firefox, deleting the users Firefox profile, deleting the users Windows profile, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox and the latest Java, but nothing helps. After uninstalling, I run an app to delete temp files and caches and will even manually remove registry keys HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Mozilla. Plus I reboot and make sure the install folder is deleted after uninstall.
Results are the same: after installing Firefox 31, the initial setup window for migrating IE and/or Chrome pops up and after clicking the Finish button, Firefox starts, but does not show the initial new user page, only a blank page. Clicking on the Options button (3 bars) does nothing. Right-clicking in the proper area, the popup menu appears so I can choose to Customize, but that only opens another tab with about:customize in the URL and the page is blank. From the right-click popup menu, I can enable the Menu Bar and get to Options from that.
My latest attempt has helped a little. I uninstalled Firefox 31, cleaned up, deleted user Firefox profile, rebooted and then installed Firefox 30. Inital startup runs, and tells me I'm not up to date, and the Options button works. But I still cannot customize.
I then upgraded to Firefox 31, but then it's back to no startup page, no options button and no customize. I can downgrade to 30 and get all but customize working again.
Only Addon is one for McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which just after installing is disabled.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

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?

The new version of Firefox does not seem to allow multi-touchscreen pinch/zoom feature. Is this a bug or is there something I can do to fix the problem? Thanks.

Since the new version of Firefox (which I love, esp the reduced menu bars at the top, leaving more web page viewable space), I am unable to use the multi-touch pinch/zoom function to resize pages. the scrolling still works, and all worked fine before.
Is this a bug or is there something I can do to fix it?
Thanks for your time.

Not a fix but if it's just a web site here and there that you find yourself using the pinch zoom feature you can use the IE Tab 2 addon to automatically use the ie engine and the zoom works.
You lose the other firefox features on those pages but as I said, if it's just a few sites it's worth a look.
I sure hope the Mozilla community fixes this in their desktop PC version soon. You can't gripe if it's free so I just keep waiting. :)
Their android and iOS version supports it so why not the PC version?

When I open Firefox, I get a page that says that Firefox did not direct properly and to try again. When I click the try again, the home page opens. What can I do to avoid this. It just started today. Rebooting does not help.

This happens only with the home page when I open the browser.

Firefox is my default browser, however i am not thinking of switching because it is having problems with button links on web pages, when i click a button it brings me to a white page on mozilla

this is a link to a job site however it is impossible to get to it because when you hit apply in foxfire it brings up a blank screen (i can't give you the address because it just brings up a box without an address screen)

Have you submitted the hint button issue to the site for comment?
It is hard to debug script problems without access to the page... If you want to research it yourself, start by opening the Error Console (Tools menu) and clicking the Clear button. Then reload the page and check the Console for any errors (red icon). These can indicate when scripts are not loading correctly. Then try to click the hint button and see whether that triggers any additional errors.
The error messages generally are most useful to the page's programmer, but sometimes can reveal enough information to create a user solution (e.g., running a script through the GreaseMonkey extension that repairs the problem).

This is the third time I have entered this question and answered with my PW, etc. I have updated my IPad with IOS 7, and updated Adobe Reader with ver. 11.3.1. I cannot get any files or folders to come up when I click on Adobe, even though my Usage indica

I Have updated IPad to IOS 7.1.1, and also updated Adobe Reader to ver. 11.3.1. When I click on the Adobe icon, I get no files or folders to come up, just a blank screen. I know from my usage indicator on the IPad that I have 36 GB of PDF files resident, which I expected, but how do I access them. I had updated from IOS 5 because Adobe was crashing so often that it made it difficult to work.

If restarting the app or your iPad/iPhone does not work, we are not aware of any other ways to fix this particular problem. Uninstalling & reinstalling Adobe Reader may be the only option left. It will clean up the "inconsistent" application data. But it is not even guaranteed to fix the problem.
If you uninstall Adobe Reader (or any other iOS apps), iOS will erase all of the application data including settings/preferences and PDF documents stored locally on your iPad/iPhone.
We'd highly recommend backing up your PDF documents regularly (not just this time) so that you do not lose them when something goes wrong.
How to backup and restore PDF documents on your iPad/iPhone using iTunes
Backup your PDF documents.
Uninstall Adobe Reader.
Download and reinstall Adobe Reader from the App Store.
Alternatively, you can store your PDF documents in cloud storage (e.g. Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive), which will eliminate the need to backup local files.
Please let us know if you need further assistance.

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I followed the steps given and ended up with just email addresses showing in my contacts even though I have phone numbers and snail mail in my Outlook Contacts. Using Windows 7

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.

You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events.

Firefox 4 does not start up to my selected home page, and 'work offline' is always checked. I have gone into general tab, start up and ensured that my home page is selected. It is, but problem hasn't changed. I can't do a complicated fix.

Since upgrading Firefox 4, at start up I receive a 'problem loading page' message, which states I have 'Working Offline' checked. (I didn't check it) I go to menu and uncheck it, there are 3 tabs loaded, all the Monzilla welcome pages (congrats you have upgraded etc etc), and NOT my home page. If I hit home icon it takes me to my home page, but this is a pain in the neck. I am not tech savvy so please do NOT suggest a complicated fix. I would prefer to go back to 3.6 if possible, unless there is a simple solution to this problem

I fixed it!!! Following advice from similar posts, I searched the hard drive for "sessionrestore.js" in my Firefox Profiles folder (you'll need to enable viewing of hidden files in Windows Explorer (Tools > Folder Options > View (then select Hidden files option) then Apply to all folders) to do this). I then shut down Firefox, deleted the file and restarted - my home page was correct and it didn't try to open my old session! Some other posts suggested deleting everything called "sessionrestore" in that folder, but I didn't need to.

Firefox does not recognize upper case characters on my keyboard, when i try to log in on a saved website with a case-sensitive user/password. repeated Capslock on, then off, or Shift on, then off, sometimes corrects. thx

this happens almost every time I get onto my computer. doesn't happen when using Explorer

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.
