Firefox will not "auto fill" email addresses in Yahoo mail. How do I get this to work?

This used to work. I have a new laptop and am not sure if this is a laptop issue, a Yahoo issue, or a Firefox issue. It is very annoying to have to go to my address book every time I want to send an email because names are not recognized. This was not a problem on my previous lap top. I also think that this was not a problem with the previous version of Firefox.

Odd that grant_cm reported this a year ago, and it only started happening to me in the last week or so. What's more, email autofill with Yahoo still works for me in Safari on my Mac. I prefer the Firefox browser, but this issue is a real pain, and what's more your CAN'T insert a list from you address book. Sure would like to know what happened and how to fix this.

    Two weeks ago I posted this, but no one replied telling me how to correct the problem.
    I think Firefox engineers need to improve Firefox between now and the next up-date to make it adequate to handle all major websites. There aren't many websites used by as many people as yahoo. So why have Firefox engineers ignored this deficiency in Firefox?

    You have to look at the email protocol being used.  the Apple email system uses IMAP, does Tinyworld use IMAP or POP?
    Does the email system permit delivery receipts to be requested?
    Just some of the things one needs to determine from the information provided by the email service provider.

  • Firefox will not accept my email address.

    Whenever I am prompted to enter my email address Frefox will not accept it.

    Did you try Firefox's Safe Mode? If it goes away with add-ons disabled, then one of your add-ons is the problem.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox
    [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
    Does that fix it?

  • When starting FireFox, a message is displayed "script error" message related to Chrome - FireFox will not start regardless of the answer I select - how can I get FireFox to display so I can turn off all plug-ins? Safe Mode does the same thing.

    This problem isn't on this system - but a system I support at our church.
    When FireFox is started the first display is the message "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete. Script: chrome://tavgp/content/libs/include.js:1101". There are two option buttons - Continue and Stop Script. Selecting either button closes that window - BUT the FireFox window is never displayed.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *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.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • Firefox will not open pages I want to see. How do I fix this?

    On many occasions when I click on a link, all I get is a blank page. Sometimes when Firefox does this, there is a button for "Allow"; however, on many occasions there is no "Allow" button, and I cannot see the content. This is particularly troubling when I'm at my banking site, and I can't see important information. I have to go to Windows Explorer to see what I want to see.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Firefox will not allow me to open a new tab, how do I fix this?

    I really hate having to use two windows instead of being able to use tabs.

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • Why does aol not auto enter email addresses when I compose an email?

    why does aol not auto enter email addresses when I compose an email?

    what a ridiculous decision to change from "starts with" to "contains".
    I have a further problem - having selected the address I want from the umpteen options pulled from my address book, I then press enter to add another line for another address.....and the first address I selected changes to a completely different address!
    And also addresses from the address book which previously appeared only in black now randomly appear in red.
    help please!

  • After updating to Firefox 5 my Realplayer Recorder is not working due to that add on not being compatible. How do I get this to work again?

    After updating to Firefox 5 my Realplayer Recorder is not working due to that add on not being compatible. How do I get this to work again?

    It sounds like you restored from an old back-up.  Did you back-up just before your software update?  It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
    In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
    Sorry for your losses.
