Have to keep refreshing the screen
When I start up various applications under Firefox, the username and password are not always completed for me despite being stored. If I refresh the screen, then it works. Also, when using the back button in google, it takes me to a completely blank page instead of the list of returned items - again, if I refresh the screen, the correct list is displayed. This has only been happening in the last 2 weeks and it's driving me nuts.
I've looked on this forum for answers but there aren't any that explain why this is only happening with Firefox. I left IE because of problems, don't tell me I have to now abandon Firefox too? Has anyone got a reliable platform out there for goodness sake?
Ok. I think safe mode should be the next step then.
I should have been more clear above. I didn't mean Windows Safe Mode. I was referring to Firefox's Safe Mode. See the article below:
[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
This basically starts Firefox up with all add-ons disabled and with a couple of changes to basic settings. If the problem doesn't occur in Safe Mode then it is a good bet that some setting or add-on is causing the problem. You can then follow the instructions in that article to enable them one by one to identify the culprit.
If the problem still occurs in Safe Mode then I suggest doing a Firefox Reset. See the article below. This will return Firefox to its defult settings. Your history, bookmarks etc will be saved but you will need to reinstall all your add-ons.
[[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
I hope that helps. Let me know if not.

Why do I have to keep refreshing the Yahoo bookmarks with my homepage in Yahoo
Every time I open Firefox I have to refresh the Yahoo toolbar bookmarks,sometimes several times before I can use my bookmarks.This was happening with the previous version as
well as 4.0.1I HAVE RESOLVED THIS!! The problem was that I was signed in to iCloud on my iphone with an old Apple ID and using a different Apple ID on my pc. I signed out of iCloud on my phone, then re-signed in with the same id as the iCloud on my pc. Presto chango. All is well.

I mean its always been there hell i click it 15-20 times then it switches to the page instead refreshes it. im just tired of it period dealing with it
Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

I keep getting the screen "An error occurred loading this content" on my Netflix now for two days. I have tried everything. Any suggestions?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
What exactly is everything, have you restarted your router. -
Ever since the last update, I'm having problem accessing my e-mail account. I keep getting an annoying bar at the top of the screen "Firebox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." I have to keep hitting the allow button, sometimes twice. And when I do get into the accounts the bar jumps in and out every time I open a new e-mail, or delete and old one.
How do I get rid of this. I've had this account for years, with a very reputable private e-mail provider. This is nuts.See:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

I cannot refresh the screen, no matter what I try. The "restore" is not the same thing. So I always get old versions of websites, including my own. I cannot see a new version of any website I have visited previously. I need to know how to REFRESH my screen, and there is no way to do it!!!!!
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (MAC)
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

Firefox 4.01 keeps dimming the screen after a few seconds
unless you keep moving the mouse. This is very annoying.
It doesn't do it on Explorer or while in Windows.
It is only happening since I upgraded to 4.01
It happens even on this page if I stop typing or moving the mouse.Symantec have released an update for Norton 360 to make it compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US

I can't get the zoom slider to come up, I keep tapping the screen but a box keeps appearing
I can't get the zoom slider to come up, I keep tapping the screen and the zoom button does not appear only a little square box and nothing seems to happen. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? It used to appear when I tapped the screen. Thanks
Meg St._Clair wrote: Don't tap; pinch.
I have tried 50 times to get the Zoom Slider to appear on my new iPhone 5.
It *never* does.
I pinch in, out, round and round. I pinch fast, slow, medium. I am gentle, I am rough, shout, I shake, I tap, I touch, I pull, I push, I squeeze, I rotate, I caress.
NOTHING WORKS
No Zoom Slider under any circumstances. Believe me, I have tried everything. -

10000541493262.gif 804 KBtry code number 2, make sure you back up all your data and stuff, read carefully if this does not work the only option for you is to take it to nokia care to have them have a look.
1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345
2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)
3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
hard reset - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. )
If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance.

How can I stop Firefox from automatically upgrading? My on-line college is not compatible with the upgraded version. I have to keep uninstalling the new one and reinstalling the old one.
It's not a good idea to allow websites to redirect to another site until you know for sure the original site is trustworthy.
But if you still want to do it (again not a good idea).
Tools>Options>Advanced>General - In Accessibility, uncheck "warn me when web sites try to redirect..." option. -

The corner of my screen is creased is not a big thing and it didn't affected the images, but is creased.
Do I have to change all the screen even if it doesn't affect the images on the mac?
Is it too much expensive?
Thank you!
