Firefox keeps forgetting the Zoom setting per page...

Hi!
While surfing the archives of the Dilbert cartoons, I have to zoom in on the sunday cartoon otherwise it is too small. But Firefox 4 keeps forgetting the zoom setting.
Everytime I click the next cartoon or even refresh the page the setting is back to standard. This behavior is similar on all websites, e.g. google.
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance! wohlgetan

Make sure that you not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
* Deselect: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

How do I set the zoom at a particular level as the default to ensure pages are not too small and that i don't have to change the zoom for each page? in English

How do I set the zoom at a particular level as the default to ensure pages are not too small and that i don't have to change the zoom for each page? in English
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== From the beginning

Some add-ons:
Default FullZoom: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6965 (I use this one)
No Squint: http://urandom.ca/nosquint/

Firefox keeps closing the web site page I am typing on andkeeps going back to a new start page s back to start

While i am typing info on the keyboard e.g. on google maps or on my email page to send a message, firefox keeps jumping back to its start page and I have to start all over. What can I do to stop this from happening?

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 (probably Yahoo) 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. 
* Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.

Is it feasible to set the rows displayed per page dynamically?

Hi,
Is it feasible to set the rows displayed per page dynamically in the table view result as per the user wants eg : the user wishes to see only 25 records or all the records?
Also what is the maximum limit of rows that can be fetched as per the entry in instanceconfig.xml :
<ResultRowLimit>65000</ResultRowLimit>
Is there a limit for number of rows being displayed in table view?
thanks
Rishabh

When Firefox is open the zoom function (option/command/space bar) does not work in Adobe programs (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator)

Mac OS X 10.6.7
CS 5.5
When Firefox is open the zoom function (option/command/space bar) does not work in Adobe programs (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator). This happens only when Firefox is open and when I close it the zoom functions work fine again without having to restart the applications.
This is intermittent but happens quite frequently each day if Firefox is active.

MDN doesn't mention -chrome being used for ordinary web pages: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options#Chrome
When I use
firefox.exe -chrome about:permissions
I get a usable window, but zoom doesn't work as you noted.
How about using an intermediate page and window.open() for the target page? You can (mostly) restrict the chrome of windows opened that way, but it will leave behind the intermediate window...

Firefox keeps creating the folder "Downloads"

Using 3.6.10
Firefox keeps creating the "Downloads" folder in my documents even though the folder I specified for the downloads is different..
C:\MyDocs\Downloads\ < keeps getting created
C:\Downloads\ < is where I told FF to put downloads
It's driving me nuts! lol. Even tried installing a download manager to see if it did anything and it didn't fix the issue... :(

Try resetting all of the preferences relating to the download directory.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# In the filter box type '''browser.download''' to bring up a small number of preferences
# For any preference that has a value set to a folder, right-click on it and choose '''Reset'''
# Now set the download folder in the Options dialog again
If it still creates the folder, try clearing the list of downloaded files in the download manager. In the Tools menu select Downloads, then click on the Clear List button.

I downloaded Adobe Acrobat XI Pro - I signed in and now all I get is the Adobe Download Assistant with a prompt to keep downloading the program or help page.

Under the download or application file I only have the Assistant program

Moving this discussion to the Acrobat Installation & Update Issues forum.
Isabellasf have you ran the installation files which were downloaded? By default they are downloaded to the download folder within your User folder.

Out of the blue, Firefox keeps forgetting my Options settings, and I see the Welcome page each time. Profile manager IS being used.

For the past three days, Firefox opens as if for the first time - forgetting all the Options setting I save each time. This is a waste of my time and money. It operated for years correctly.

It is important to keep software updated to the latest versions to receive security updates. 
Using old versions and Firefox 3.5.8 is also 5 versions behind on the current 3.5.13 version makes you more vulnerable than necessary to security vulnerabilities.
See:
* http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox35.html
* http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox36.html
Many plugins have full system access and being behind on updates of those can have more serious implications.

When I try to log in to an online auction website, Firefox simply keeps reloading the "enter login information" page. I can log in just fine on IE.

I buy and sell sport clay sport shooting accessories on "GunBroker-dot-com". To get in, you have to enter a user name and a password. This worked fine on IE, and used to work on Firefox, but about four days ago, when I would try to log in to the site on Firefox, it would simply reload the page asking me for my user name and password. I tried using the pre-stored information, and I tried entering it directly; neither worked, it just keeps reloading the sign-in page. I continue to be able to access the site without problems on IE.

Try a different browser. Try OpenDNS servers.

When viewing my homepage, I have to zoom in twice for better viewing. However, everytime I change to a new tab, I lose the zoom in setting. How can I set the zoom setting and lock it in?

Details as noted above in my question. The reason I have to zoom in twice is that the page is shrunk and the pic's and words are hard to see. This improves when I zoom in twice.

The Firefox Page Zoom feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox.
Try the Default FullZoom Level extension: 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6965
Or the NoSquint extension: 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/

Firefox keeps opening the same tabs on startup instead of the ones from last session

OS is winxp and firefox 3.6.8. This has been fine for a number of months. When closing FF it asks to save tabs and settings and I ok it. But it keeps opeing the same tabs from a week ago.
Can you help?

A couple of things to check.
Check to see if Firefox is set to open to your home page, if so have the sites that open been set as the home page. Those settings are on the [[Options window - General panel]].
Another possible cause is the file that stores details of sessions may be corrupt. You can delete the files that have details of sessions to see if that helps. Firstly you need to access your profile folder, for details of how to do that see the [[profiles]] article. Once you are in your profile folder, close Firefox and delete ''sessionstore.js'' and ''sessionstore.bak'' (the second file may not exist)

Firefox 3 displays the php code when pages launched from dreamweaver 8

The problem seems to relate to files opening as —
file:///C:/localweb/ .... when sent from Dreamweaver 8.0 to Firefox
The first html/php page loads correctly from dreamweaver as
processed HTML, a second page linked from either an HTML or php
page also loads correctly, but selecting any link from that or
subsequent pages displays the full php code instead of processed
html layout - so this appears to be a third level or greater
problem.
If I manually substitute -
http://localhost/ — the problem
does not arise.
This is a problem with version 3 of firefox, all previous
versions I used worked fine with both — file:///C:/localweb/
and
http://localhost/
Both prefixes also appear with pure HTML sites, but they load
and function correctly.
Not every php site I have loads with file:///C:/localweb/, so
I am wondering if this relates to something in the php code or
Dreamweaver - I have conn.php set to:
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error());
I use winxp and have xampp installed - everything worked fine
until I installed Firefox 3

> but selecting any link from that or subsequent pages
You are being confused by a) not understanding root relative
vs document
relative links, and b) not understanding how DW previews
files.
If I have a document with a link to an image that looks like
this -
<img src="/images/foo.gif"...
That's what's called a root relative link.
If I preview that document in DW, then the browser gets the
document, sees
the leading "/" and reads that as the root of the hard drive,
since the
browser has no idea where the root of the site is. Thus, the
image is
broken in the preview.
If I have temp files enabled, then DW will secretly convert
the file being
previewed into a temporary file, and hand that to the
browser. This temp
file has had all root relative links converted to document
relative links
(as you will see by looking at the code in the browser), and
has had all
include files actually embedded in the page, and has had all
external CSS
and js markup embedded in the page. In other words, DW has
made the
document into a stand-alone page.
If you do not have temp files enabled, all of these links
would be broken on
preview.
Now - if you are using root relative links, AND you have temp
files enabled,
AND you click away from the previewed document, then all of
your links will
be broken, since DW has not made that linked file into a temp
file. This is
what you are seeing.
So - if you want to click away on preview, then you must use
document
relative links for the site -
<img src="../images/foo.gif"... (for example)
These will still work on preview since the browser knows how
to determine
the current file's location and how to follow that path.
Make sense?

Why does Firefox keep asking me to set up my Sync account when I've already done it TWICE?

Seems every time I restart my computer and open firefox, it forgets that I have already set up my sync account. Under Options/Sync is says "set up firefox sync." I have done it 2 times now and the browser still "forgets." Any idea what's wrong?
I'm using Firefox 4 and an iPhone 4 with the app. I successfully synced 2 times with my iphone and then firefox proceeds to act like I never did. Very buggy!

Hi Sigmo,
You can turn those messages off, no problem.
# In Firefox on your tablet, go to '''about:config'''
# Use the search box at the top right to find '''browser.snippets.syncPromo.enabled''' and change it to '''false'''
# Enjoy not being nagged about Sync any more. :)
Hope that does the trick!
