Firefox for Android won't remember menu setting for "load desktop version" ("Last ned desktop-sider"n norwegian)

Have tried this on both release, beta and nightly versions.
Also have problem with AdBlock Plus and AdBlock Edge settings.
Some settings are not saved, and there is no way to edit filter list or add an image/ad from right-click menu
(but I guess that question is better asked in the AdBlock groups :-)

But why doesn't Firefox remember this setting?
Most pads have similar resolution to desktop PCs.
And then one would want desktop-pages all the time.
A bit unnecessary to have to install a plug-in for that.

  • Is the Firefox for Mobile desktop emulator still available?

    I've followed the link in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/792964 but can't find any further information on downloading the Firefox for Mobile Emulator. Could just be a lack of caffeine on a Friday morning...
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi,
    I think Fennec 10.0b6 was the last release: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/10.0b6/
    For Firefox OS details please see [https://blog.mozilla.org/bhearsum/archives/320 this].

  • Firefox 20: why won't my add-on's load at startup?

    My add-on's install easily the first time, then load in the current browser session, but then, when I restart Firefox, they no longer load. they are viewable from my Add-on's Manager list, and as far as I know they are not on the unsafe blocked list. If I disable each one, and then re-enable them, then they show up in the main menu and function properly, but only for that current browser session.
    Does anyone know why the add-on's won't load permanently?
    here are the ones I have installed:
    about:addons-memory 6
    full screen 3.4
    ad block plus 2.2.3
    URL fixer 4.1
    auto pager 0.8.0.8
    self destructing cookies 0.3.6
    quick gestures 1.1.1
    thanks in advance!

    thank you Midhun and AaronMT for the responses. Midhun, as far as I can see, that only applies to desktop version Firefox. I guess I should mention, I'm using Firefox mobile 20 on Android 4.1.2.
    AaronMT, I do have developer options enabled, but the 'Don't keep activities' option was unchecked. that's not the problem.
    any other ideas?

  • Firefox for the old version is there?

    I want firefox old version remains in the show on the web, at least there is a list for firefox from the beginning to the latest version

    There are solutions for those interface issues, but to address your question about keeping the old version, make sure your auto-update is set to ask you before updating you.

    Are you searching via the about:home Home page?
    You can 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.
    * Open the <b>about:config</b> 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 that didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.

  • How do I know what my current is of Firefox for my Desktop? Can Firefox see what version I have?

    Had some difficulty updating to 4.0. In the process popped up on my desktop were multiple icons and update buttons. How do I confirm I have succeeded in installing 4.0? Firefox continues to remind me to update to 4.0? Can't Firefox "see" I have updated to 4.0 or is that reminder for someone else

    Go to '''Help '''| '''About Firefox'''. It will show in there which version your have installed which appears to be 4.0.1
    You can disable the reminders by clicking the Firefox button, go to Options | Options | Advanced and in the Update tab, uncheck Firefox at the top.
    This means you'll have to check manually from time to time whether any new releases have become available.
    Firefox 5.0 will be released on June 21.

  • Can not connect to the internet. This is a new problem since I have been using firefox for years.

    I can not connect to the internet. I called mediacom due to the problem and they connected me to internet explorer. They indicated I should contact you for help in connecting to the internet. It appears firefox has made some kind of change since last night since I was using firefox for my internet connection last night. Something has changed. Your help will be appreciated.

    The only way that file opens thru IE8 for me ''(but not actually in IE8)'' is by using the Zip Utility (then IE closes) that is in WinXP and then opening the two image files in the Windows Fax and Picture Viewer.
    I think Firefox is trying to display that file because the MIME-type is for '''''text/plain''''' instead of the appropriate MIME-type of '''application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml''' or '''application/vnd.google-earth.kmz'''
    That is something that needs to be configured in the server that is hosting that file type. Sorry, I don't know how that can be fixed. The one support person here that might know lives in Europe ''(I believe)'', so you might need to wait for an answer.

  • How do I set the "When an OCSP server connection fails, treat the certificate as invalid" in Firefox for Android?

    Due to the security concerns from Heartbleed and Steve Gibson's excellent coverage on certification revocation, I have set "When an OCSP server connection fails, treat the certificate as invalid" on my desktop Firefox and now want to do the same on Firefox for Android. I cannot find anything in the settings menu to allow this. Is it done through about:config and if so, what is the setting name there?

    hello mcvickerp, in about:config you can switch the setting "security.OCSP.require" to true.

  • How to set default search engine in Firefox for Android?

    Hi. I want to set a non-Google search engine as the default in Firefox on Android. I have installed the search engine as an add-on and it is working fine, but I would like to use it as the default search, rather than having to select it each time.
    Couldn't find the answer on here or anywhere else.
    Please note this only relates to Android.
    Thanks!

  • Hello, I'm trying to use Firefox for Android on Nook HD+. Can't find Home button to set up Home Screen.

    I want to be able to start with and return to the Home Screen but I don't have one because I can't set one up using the Home Screen Button. Please help, thanks, Tony.

    Hello,
    Could you please specify your problem? Are you trying to get to the "awesome screen" (firefox home on android) If so, you just close your current tab or open a new tab. To do this, tap the top left of your screen in Firefox. This is to the left of the back button. Now you either slide down a tab to close it, or tap the "+" sign at the top left while at your tab area. And also, there is no exact home button while in Firefox for android, only in desktop Firefox (at least there used to be). Hope this helps in some way!

  • How do I set a "normal" home-page in Firefox for Android? (instead of the "awesome screen")

    How do I set a "normal" home-page in Firefox for Android? I don't want the homepage to be the "awesome screen" (which I personally don't find to be very awesome - way too much going on in one page for a small smartphone screen).
    I just want a regular home page that I can set myself. For example, in Firefox for my personal laptop, I've set my homepage Google.com. In Firefox on my work computer, I've set my homepage to our company intranet login. I really prefer and need this flexibility in setting my home page.
    In Firefox for Android, if I go into Settings/Customize/Homepage , the only options I see for changing the home page is to de-select certain items on the "awesome screen". There's no option to set a URL address for a normal homepage. If I de-select/hide all the items on the awesome screen, I simply get a blank home page (no web page, just a prompt telling me to enter a URL address).
    The other major browsers for Android allow me to set a "normal" home page. Firefox is my favorite browser for my laptop. I wish I could get it to work normally for Android. :( :( :(

    hello betsy, at the moment such a feature is not implemented in firefox, but as a workaround you can add a bookmark to a site to the homescreen of your phone, which should have the same effect: [[Use bookmarks on Firefox for Android to keep track of your favorite websites]]

  • Firefox won't save my setting for 'Open new window in a new tab instead' when I close Firefox.

    When I am doing my internet banking I need to have the setting option for 'Open new window in a new Tab instead' Un-checked (disabled). Problem is this setting is not being saved the next time I open Firefox. That is every time I close Firefox (all open window and tabs), the next time I open it up again, this setting has re-enabled itself again. I just can't get Firefox to remember this setting for me.

  • Firefox won't remember my passwords, even though I have told it to. Is there a fix for this? I am running Windows7

    I have told Firefox to remember the password(s) I use on many different websites. It never remembers any of them. Is there a fix for this? I am using Firefox 4.0.1 and Windows 7.

    Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
    If Firefox doesn't offer to store passwords in the Password Manager then check that you aren't running Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
    * Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
    * In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
    * Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
    Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

  • Why won't Firefox for Android on my Kindle Fire HD play YouTube videos?

    The default browser (Silk) on the Kindle Fire HD plays YouTube videos. Both Firefox for Android and Silk obviously use the same operating system and hardware. What needs to be done to/with the Firefox for Android browser so that it will play YouTube videos. Firefox on my desktop machine plays YouTube videos.

    There is the old insecure Flash 11.1 Plugin that Adobe (and Google Play) has not supported since Android 4.0. As long as you have Android 4.3 or older then you can get the Flash plugin to work in manual install though Android 4.4 has made it so Flash will not work.
    However Mozilla has made a workaround for Flash can still work in Firefox on Android 4.4 in as early as Firefox 27.0 if I recall.
    There is this thread on getting Flash installed however the poster mentions Dolphin and not Firefox instead.
    http://www.amazon.com/forum/kindle?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx1D7SY3BVSESG&cdThread=TxTR71JR4GVXQM
    Not that some sites (News sites are among some I encountered) have since lately been requiring users using Flash 11.1 on Android, PlayBook and Flash 11.2.x on Linux to upgrade to more current (not possible) to view their Flash videos.

  • Firefox for Android won't install on HTC Explorer

    My HTC Explorer seems to have all the requirements for Firefox to be installed.
    The screen resolution is 320 x 480 - more than the minimum spec.
    The Android version is 2.3.5. - higher than the version quoted.
    HTC Sense version 3.5
    But when I try to install from Play Store, I get the message
    "Your device isn't compatible with this version".
    Why not? Is there a version that IS compatible? And if so, where can I find it,
    and what, precisely, is it called?

    hello CambridgeChris, even if it's not available through the google play store, you can download all versions of firefox for android dirctly from mozilla's FTP server. details are available at: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
    however, since you device is rather low-spec and firefox on android is a full-fledged browser with its own rendering engine, it will require quite a lot of system resources - so you might not get the best experience out of it at your current setup...
