Firefox will not go back and forth one page / one site using Mac Lion one finger scroll back and forth - how do I do it? Thank you.

... just upgraded to Lion from Snow Leopard. Swiping a (one) finger (left) back and (right) forth should move the pages / sites back and forward.
It does not on Firefox but does on Safari.
Please tell me how to make Firefox work.
Thank you -
Wm. Pordy

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

Firefox will not load webpages and has trouble quiting

Recently, firefox has randomly stopped being able to load pages as if the wireless was not work (redirected to the cannot find server page). I would think this was a problem with the internet, but when I restart my wireless it is not fixed and my other browsers do not see the same issue. When I restart firefox it works again, but I usually have to do this several times a day. Another issue, firefox will not quit when I do command Q. The window will close but the application will not quit, and I have to go and force quit it. Background info, using Macbook, wireless internet, firefox is up to date. Thanks for your help.

Firefox will not open even after update or in safe mode using windows button + R

Tried solitions given on site using IE. Firefox will not start at all, did latest update and tried safe mode start.
Only get box stating it has encounterd a problem and crashed. I only use firefox and have so many bookmarks I really don't want to uninstall and start over.

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!

Ipad shut down. Will not come back on. How do I get it back on?

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

Firefox will NOT start, deleting and reinstalling will start as last step but once Firefox is closed it will NOT restart.

Both browsers (Firefox 21 & IE) installed on my 64-bit Widows XP desktop refuse to start either from clicking the desktop icon, the start bar menu, or the executables themselves. What does happen is that all icons disappear from the screen for some 15-30 seconds, then the icons are returned to the screen, and the last informative message displayed from the system tray at start up is repeated.
Deleting Firefox and reinstalling will start the browser as the last step, but when the new copy is closed it will not start. Also just rerunning the installation download without deleting Firefox will "Upgrade" and start as a last step but when the new copy is closed it can not be restarted. Running restore on the new copy has on apparent effect on the ultimate inability to restart after closing.
I only tried the IE browser after being unable to start Firefox (its ordinarily only used by the MS update procedure) and have not investigated either reinstalling or repairing it.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Firefox will not load https (and other websites)

Hello everyone.
I'm running Firefox 18.0 on Windows 7 (64bit). Out of the blue, it started not loading certain webistes. It just spits out blank pages, or does not react when clicking login buttons. The web console will display a GET-message [for facebook: http/1.1. 302 Found 174ms], but hard reloads (CTRL+F5) do not help either.
So far, I have encountered problems with :
- Facebook (blank page)
- Amazon (will not react upon "login")
- GMX (will not react upon "login")
- Mozilla.org (will not let me download Firefox anew OR create a support account)
- My university's library catalogue (will not react upon "login")
- Any of my university's https://-pages
- The Google search in the Firefox task bar.
- EDIT: The e-mail confirmation link this board has send me will not load either.
They will load in Internet Explorer, so here's what I did:
- EVERYTHING from the "Firefox can't load websites, but other browsers can" page, including
Removing and readding FF to my Firewall exceptions,
changing proxy settings,
Dis- and enabling IvP6 settings,
DNS Prefetching,
Clearing cookies, history, browser cache and network cache,
full system scan
- Deleting and Reinstalling Firefox
- Dis- and enabled SPDY in about:config
Please help. I'm at the end of my rope. Thanks.
EDIT: The websites work if I start FF in safe mode. Hope this leads to something.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Firefox will not 'save as pdf' for whole page, when the page is a large one. How can this be fixed?

My Mac Desktop PPC (2002) is running 10.4.11.
Firefox has no more updates beyond 3.6.24, which is what I'm running here.
I want to save a NY Daily News live update page (large and with photos..) ..which is not 'infinitely large': this one is page 3..
But the resulting pdf is two pages, with a NY Daily New beginning.. and an 'end' on page 2. Nothing in between.
can you help
'Troubleshooting information' is non-applicable here, since Firefox does not even acknowledge this as a category..!

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Printing+a+web+page
Try to adjust the print scale: File > Page Setup > "Format & Options": Scale (unselect: "Shrink to fit page width")

Sometimes after trying to load videos, Firefox will not finish loading and will not load any website afterwards. The ONLY way to fix it is by pulling the modem for a few minutes.

When I try to load videos, there is a good chance the video will randomly stop loading, and nothing is accessible until I turn off the modem. Restarting my computer, clearing my browser cache, cookies, etc. None of that works. I've had "slightly" better luck immediately pausing a video and letting it buffer entirely, but that still doesn't work all the time. Surfing has just become a gamble until I just get frustrated.

Is anyone here to help?

The website I use for my online college work is Moodle. Firefox will not let me upload my documents on this site.

I have been using Firefox as my default browser because in the past it has worked best with Moodle. Moodle is what my college (University of LA @ Monroe) uses for online classes. We are required to upload documents and assignments for our course. This has always worked fine in the past. Now, it will not let me upload using Firefox. I can only upload using Explorer. The process for uploading is to "browse" our computer for documents and then "upload." I get the message on the bottom left "sending request to ulm.edu" but then it gives me an error (id not found) or just gets hung up. I have been emailing the ULM help desk and they can't see a problem from the ULM/Moodle end of it.

I have this problem too. It appears to have occured with Firefox 12 and above. IE will allow me to upload so it's nothing to do with firewalls and anti virus etc. I am loathe to return to the Microsoft product but will do so if a satisfactory result cannot be found.

Firefox will not connect to my hotel start page

Firefox was working perfectly when I left one hotel, when I checked into the next hotel it would not open the hotel startpage. I've tried Explorer and Chrome and they aren't working either. I have also tried changing the proxy settings as well with no luck.

Firefox will not start, have repeatedly reloaded it form your site, on my XP (SP£) PC?

Desktop icon / exe file will not start Firefox. Have repeatedly downloaded it & works for a short time & then fails. Also experiencing screen freezing, having to restart PC - are these connected?

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Firefox will NOT sync since adding password integration add-on for my macs. Is there a plan to resolve this conflict? Once I uncheck password sync works.

I continue to obtain a sync error with unknown error. After spend a few hours online and troubleshooting, I determined by un-checking password sync, no errors were received. I added the add-on for Mac password integration and can only conclude that adding this feature has conflicted with my sync. Does anyone know of any issues or are there fixes already in place I am unaware. I am at that point to return to Safari for my macs due to this and other issues I have been having with Firefox. Thanks.

Hi KevMB,
Thank you for your question. I would recommend you try the new Firefox Sync, however currently it is available in beta starting Thursday.
If the device is already authenticated and is syncs automatically, then the password does not have to be added every time. I do not understand how the Mac password integration works as you describe it to.
If you are talking about choosing to sync stored passwords across devices please select any duplicates that may be stored in the profile under the preferences.
[[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]] and[[Firefox Sync troubleshooting and tips]] are good references for more help.

Firefox will not go back and forth one page / one site using Mac Lion one finger scroll back and forth - how do I do it? Thank you.
