Firefox doesn't save the settings

As the question might say this version of Firefox (5.0.1) doesn't save the settings u do to it...For example my problem is with the toolbar and the buttons i add to it...i have tried to customize it as i previously had it in the earlier versions of firefox but it doesn't save them...i need to customize them from the beginning whenever i close and open firefox...even when it updates the add-on's and restarts it still needs to be customized...i have also checked many forums and apparently i am not the one having the same problem...some also can't save the bookmarks but that is not my case...i have recently downloaded a Premuimplay Codec-c add on and also a Facemoods and maybe ththose interfere with firefox even though i doubt it
The addon's that i definitely wanna keep on the toolbar are IMTranslator,WOT,Read It Later,Save-To-Read,ADBlock Plus and also the Home button never stays in the place i move him when i customize the toolbar
Regards
Albi
PS:(some add-ons don't work with firefox 5.0.1 but i guess thats the developers problems right?

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
Another possibility is to use:

Firefox doesn't save the web page's title as themselves!

I want to save web pages, for example a link like below:
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap080406.html
in other browsers like Avant or Opera the web title saves as itself (for example for this link the web title save as "APOD_ 2008 April 6 - Wisps Surrounding the Horsehead Nebula" ) , but in Firefox the web title save as "ap080406" .
I appreciate if somebody help me that ,if I can save the web title's as themselves.

Firefox now always stores the old session which you can access by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session".
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

All the phone settings are save in the backup which is automatically created when you sync the phone.

Please clarify what you mean by "resetting" the phone. When you reset the phone, no data is deleted. Do you actually mean Restore the phone? See the User Guide, Appendix B for the correct terminology,

Firefox doesn't delete the browsing history in the address bar

No matter what you do with Firefox in clearing the browsing history by going to History -> Clear Recent History and deleting everything or resetting FF by going to Troubleshooting information, Firefox doesn't delete the browsing history. The website you have browsed still appear in the address bar.
Several people already have complained about this issue (see thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/939028) and the answer from the Firefox staff is that there is got to be a malware. This is not true, I've seen versions of Firefox in clean computers both Windows and Mac with Firefox doing the same thing, or more like not doing what it's supposed to do: clean the browsing history.
How unsafe is that. Where is your privacy? Firefox has to find a way to fix this glitch. Something tells me they're doing it on purpose because it hasn't been fixed after the complains.

You can delete the places.sqlite file if you aren't able to clear all history.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file
Are that entries that appear if you click the arrow at the far right of the location bar?
Do these items have a star to indicate that they are bookmarks?

My firefox doesn't memorize the option of always saving in desktop. it always asks me where i want to save even if i chose the option to always save in the desktop.

in the firefox settings i chose the option of saving downloads in desktop instead of always asking me where to save. but, no matter what i do, i always get the save window when i want to download something, the default is always "open with" instead of "save file" and it doesn't allow me to chose the option to repeat the save for the same kind of file from now on. so, every time i download something i have to click in "save file" and "ok", but in the settings i have "save files in desktop", so i don't get it! why can't it be memorized?

You can try "Reset Download Actions": http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

Firefox doesn't remember the window size

I recently upgraded my monitor and got a larger one. Now when I open FF it opens at a maximized window that doesn't fill the entire screen. So I'm forced to "minimize" it and "re-maximize" it. But when I close it does not remember the true maximized screen size.
I already tried clearing localstore.rdf and by resetting menus under Safe Mode, but neither option worked.

If Firefox is maximized then unmaximize to make the window smaller and close Firefox to save that setting.
After restarting you can maximize again.
Window sizes and positions are stored in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder].
Delete ''localstore.rdf'' or rename to '''localstore.rdf.sav''' in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to test if the file is corrupted.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
(caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)
Note:
Deleting the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults.
You can rename ''localstore.rdf'' to '''localstore.rdf.sav''' to test if that solves it.
Then you can restore the customization by copying ''localstore.rdf.sav'' to ''localstore.rdf'' if it didn't work.

How do I open the browser to my homepage instead of all the previous tabs after telling firefox to automatically save the tabs that were open when I closed the browser?

After telling my browser to 'not ask this question again' when it asked my if I wanted to save all the tabs before closing firefox, I now just want firefox to open to my homepage when I open it. Can you tell me how to change the settings to undo my previous command?

Look here:

I am using Unix sites and they use links to files. If I use IE I can save target and it works. If I use save as in Firefox it only saves the link. I have res

http://code.google.com/p/mkgmap-style-sheets/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fstyles%2Fworld
Is the website. I am trying to download the files. Yes I can open and manually save them but the stock standard IE save target does not exist in Firefox and the Save Link only saves the link. The whole world has struck this problem so please do not say it works. It does not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ever thing works as it should in IE.

On code.google.com, when I compare Fx22 and IE8, the links on that page both want to save the HTML and not the actual code. In both cases, I need to go to the HTML view then right-click and save the "View Raw file" link on the right side to get the actual code file.
If you need to save a lot of files while browsing, perhaps a subversion client and/or subversion add-on would make it more efficient?

Firefox doesn't remember the last used download directory that I saved to when it restarts!

Even when I have firefox set to ask me where to save files, it's default location is still the folder selected under "download options", instead of the last location I saved to.
I suspect that this has something to do with the "download.lastdir" option in "about:config", which disappears everytime it's restarted and only appears when I have saved a file before checking on it.
Firefox used to remember the last location in which a file was saved. This was simpler and more convenient.
Is there a way to solve this problem?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed version 3.6.6

Deleting "browser.download.lastDir" makes firefox unusable.
It's very annoying. I'm sick of the update to 3.6. It's getting worse with each minor update.
Hour after hour researching about this odd behavior sucks!

Firefox doesn`t open the last visited page and tabs but the home page

How to save the settings (for Audigy 2

Hi,
Is it possible to save the setting for "EAX console", "Surround Mixer" and "Speaker Settings" and to load them fast with Audigy 2 ZS? I'm using different settings for movie watching (Bass redirection OFF, EAX effects off, CMMS surround OFF etc.) and for music listening (Bass redirection ON, EAX effects ON, CMMS surrounf ON, Graphic Equalizer ON etc.) and each time I want to change them, I have to start 3-4 applications. I remember for the good old SB Li've! 5. there were an application which allowed to remember specific settings for any started application... Is there any way to make my life easier with Audigy 2 ZS?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
for display of cost in maintenance order you have to customize in IMG>PM/CS>Maintenance and service processing>Basic setting>Settings for display for cost
Here you have to define the value categories and assign cost element to them ,and you have to define the default values value category in maintenance order
Also you have to assign the costing variant for plan and actual cost in T code OIOF

Synaptics touchpad doesn't save scroll settings after Windows 10 upgrade

Since the Windows 10 upgrade (upgraded from 7), the Synaptics Touchpad does not save scroll settings. Every time I shut down and restart the machine the next day, I have to go into settings to re-enable touchpad scrolling. It's always unchecked on restart. Please advise on how to fix this!

My solution, copied from one of many threads regarding this problem - You have Synaptics Port Touchpad driver installed via Windows Update. Here's is a work around until a fully Win10 compatible driver is issued. Win+X/ Device Manager/ Mice and other pointing devices/ Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad. R click/ Update Driver Software/ Browse my computer for driver software / Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer. Select the top or latest version of Synaptics PS/2 Port Compatible Touchpad Version 19.0.12.95 (7/15/2015) / Next and driver will install automatically. Reboot to finish install. Go to Settings/ Mouse Properties/ Synaptics Device Settings to access Touchpad settings, adjust to your liking/ Apply/ OK. Advise to tick 'Static tray icon in taskbar' for easy access to the settings tab until you're completely happy. This 19.0.12.95 is the latest one on the HP site for my model (your # may vary) and it installs 2 versions. The one Windows Update uses is the same date Port Touchpad version but the 'Compatible' one is installed at the same time. You can tell the difference immediately because it allows you to create a profile. The old 8.1 version did not and neither does the 'Compatible' one. The touchpad setting screens look the same as before (you'll notice the new one looks different and 3 finger press opens Cortana). Why do I consider this a workaround ? Because the 3-finger press app setting, one finger EdgeMotion and demo vids do not work. But at least you can set the scrolling, pinch zoom, speed and sensitivity to your liking and if you reboot, you'll see the system tray icon and your preferences have stuck. Hope this helps somebody !

Flash 9 and Firefox on 10.4.7; firefox doesn't detect the plugin.

Yea, Hi. Can anyone help me with finding out why Firefox will not display flash; firefox keeps syaing that the plugin needs to be downloaded, but I already updated to FLASH 9 a few weeks ago. And Safari plays FLASH fine.
Anyway, when i was on a page with flash Using Firefox, It allowed, me to download it (Flash), and even though I already have it, I though Id download it again, since Firefox wasnt detecting it. Anwway, Firefox wont even download the Flash, it tells me someting about "unlicensed" when I try to download the plugin.
no biggie , ill just use Safari in the meantime, but Im trying to find out whats wrong here.
Dave

I have Flash 9 and FireFox 1.5.0.4 recognizes it and works on the sites I tested (Adobe and my own). The error message about unlicensed stuff is something I have never seen. Try to reinstall FireFox.

Regarding Google Advanced Search, Firefox no longer saves my settings, such as 'number of results,' which I like to set to 100. The Google default is 10 and Firefox no longer saves my setting of 100.

In Google Advanced Search, when I click on Search Settings, I go to the drop down box labelled 'Number of Results' and select 100, then click Save Preferences. Until recently Firefox saved my changed settings, but it no longer does so.

This is caused by the new Google instant search feature. If you disable instant search and use the old style search Google should remember the preferences. The option to turn off instant search is to the right of the search box.

Firefox opens in offline mode and doesn't save my settings

When I start the internet, it always starts in "work offline" mode. So I have to un-check the work offline button and refresh the pages. Also, my customized toolbar settings are not saved. I add the tab group button and it isn't on the toolbar when I open firefox.

Try to create a new Boolean pref with the name network.manage-offline-status and set the value to false.
Right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean pref.
Name: network.manage-offline-status
Value: false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
