How can i get Firefox to change all the printable info on a web page print to black, so i can see the printout?

Firefox correctly changes the print background to white, but leaves the colored info as it was on the web page. My monochrome printer uses Grey Scale to interpret the colors, but most colors are interpreted with so dimly that they cannot be seen on the printout.
I am running Firefox 3.6.10 with Ubuntu Firefox Modifications 0.9rc2 and the OS is Ubuntu 10.04. I have disabled the Ubuntu Firefox Modifications Extension, but the results are the same.
Thank You for your help!

Does Firefox offer to store a new password if you remove the old password?

Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* 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
* Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

How do I get firefox to stay zoomed in, each time I load a page I have to rezoom 3 times

I have to re zoom every page to get the right size

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

How do i set firefox to open a new tab with a specified web page..?

Ive just installed firefox 5, and when i open a new tab, it open with a blank page. My previous version of firefox opened with my most visited pages as thumbnails. Can i revert to this setup, or can i set firefox 5 to open a new tab with a specified web page e.g google news...?

No this isnt the problem. I want it to open a new tab with Google Search page and not with the big showcase of all my other pages.

I want firefox to remember my ID and password on certain web pages. There is no "Option" tab in the Help section (like on my PC) where I could go to Security and checkmark the Remember Password box.

I would like a window to appear when I log in on a web page to ask me if I want to save my password.
Also, why is there no "Option" tab on the Help menu in the Mac like it is on my PC?

After first closing the site's browser window, I cleared the cookies with no problem.
Next, I opened up the page that is causing my problem. The Microsoft Security window opened up as it should and it was blank.
The option of whether I was using a public or a private
computer was blinking on 'public' as it should and I changed that to 'private'.
The lines for 'Domain/Username' and 'Password" were blank, as they should be at this time.
I entered whatever I had to on these two lines, then clicked on "log In". At no time, however, did the Firefox toolbar at top of screen (picture file attached) appear and ask whether to remember that password. Yes, the page now opened - and we are back to Square One.
I am aware that when entering the URL in the address box, a dropdown box opens and contains quite a few URLs identical to the one I am entering just now, or at least connected to pages of the same site.
I am wondering whether that is what's messing me up? But how can I clear these entries of "websites visited in the past from Firefox's memory?

How can I get Firefox to show ALL the pictures of people's profiles once I log onto myspace?

Every time I log onto MySpace, on every profile I go onto to look at, there are at least some if not most of their pictures blank, it won't show me their pictures, even when I look at my profile pictures it won't show most of them, it'll be a blank space when at the top it say picture 34 out of 70 or something. It isn't my computer doing this because google chrome and the other internet program I have show all pictures on myspace.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.myspace.com

Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions - See [[Options window - Content panel]]
A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (Site Identification icon) on the left side of the location bar.
A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
Open the Media tab of the "Page Info" window.
Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

How do i get firefox to play all webm sounds? it worked before

for instance there is a link i found in that webm audio wont work. "https://volafile.io/get/FI2GPql8VEVyiQ/Pigeon.webm" this issue seems on and off i have yet to find more videos but this has been going on with other online webm and possibly mp4... i don't recall right now. just webm comes first. most videos that contain audio will play in the embedded player with no problems. however some others will not play audio at all. it doesn't stop there. you know that new facebook voice message that came out? it doesn't work either. it wont play at all. it will however play on opera 12.17 but not firefox 36 or waterfox 36.0 or even chrome. it seems firefox and chrome are the only browsers who share this issue. firefox will also not play this "http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/orange" i mean the pronunciation of the word orange. i also tried some other online dictionaries with the pronunciation audio thing and they too will not play. for both this firefox and chrome. i do realize this is not chrome support but i am just trying to give as much detailed information so i can fix this. it has been quite annoying. the only other way to play the audio in the webm is to download it. i think this is a html5 issue? since facebook and those dictionaries use html5 for that audio? i don't know... it's just a guess.
i've tried rebooting, checking the audio properties but it can't be the audio properties? or else the sound wouldn't play in opera. the sounds for that webm i linked and the dictionaries and facebook play fine for the same firefox version on my other computer. this windows is 7 and the other is vista. this started a few months back. around janurary. i uninstalled some programs to try that as a fix. this did not help and nor did these programs have to do with audio or browsers.
i don't know what else to try. there has to be something that is making firefox and chrome not play these types of sounds. some sort of common factor that they both rely on but not opera. can someone please help me? thank you for anyone's time with this matter :)

i just tried disabling adblock and checking if i had any no script or noscript sort of addon. i do not have a script killer. disabling adblock did not solve the issue.

How do I get Firefox to import ALL my bookmarks from Internet Explorer?

I've recently installed Firefox on my WXP computer, to replace IE. During installation, Firefox automatically put up a dialog offering to import all my bookmarks (i.e. Favourites) from IE, and I accepted. The resulting page confirmed that my bookmarks had been imported. However, on looking at the actual list of bookmarks "Imported from IE", I saw that the main Favourite headings had been imported in alphabetical order - which is fine - but that the import had stopped at the letter S. That meant that some important main Favourite headings (e.g. "Travel") hadn't been imported.
I then went to your tutorial pages and followed the instructions for "Importing Personal Data from Other Browsers", asking for just bookmarks to be imported from IE. What happened was that once again, FF imported only the Favourite titles up to initial S. (And now, furthermore, all the imported ones were duplicates of the ones already imported at set-up). Would you tell me, please, what I need to do to get the complete list of Favourites imported from IE?
Thanks a lot.

How do I get firefox to let me access my email and favorite web sites?

Firefox freezes up every other time I log into my gmail account. I also can't see my home page (wall) on facebook. There several games I an unable to keep access to as well, one of which is on facebook. I have tried reloading firefox 3 times. After the last reload every time I open firefox I get the welcome page and it sets firefox as my home page (which it won't let me change to google).

How long were you running Firefox before it started misbehaving?
Usually reinstalling or uninstalling/installing Firefox will only cure a small number of issues, primarily issues with corrupted program files. The reason is that most Firefox issues are caused by stuff in your personal settings folder.
But don't delete all your personal settings. Instead, try the Reset feature. This duplicates certain key data from your active settings folder into a new one, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings. Your old settings folder will be relocated to your desktop as Old Firefox Settings, in case you need to rescue anything from it after the reset.
More information in this article: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
Does it make any difference?

How do I get Firefox to stop opening a new tab every time I hit "print preview" of an email?

The tab and various favorite sites open right on top of the print screen window, blocking the print screen window so that I have to x out the tab to print my email.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

The last few weeks everything I print off a web page prints so small that I can barely read it. It used to print pages fine until 2 - 3 weeks ago when I upgraded Firefox. The same page prints fine in Internet Explorer.

This started after I upgraded Firefox to the last version before 8.0.

This has happened for me as well. When I checked the settings (File > Page Setup > "Format & Options": Scale ), the Scale value was 40%. I changed it to 100%.
Today, I realized that the Scale option in Print Preview also sets the Scale value in the Page Setup. My expectation was that it was a temporary setting for a specific print request, however, it is a sticky setting.

How do I get a 'insert - hyperlink - file' to display in a new web page?

When I insert the link to a downloadable file, that's fine.
But I'm losing my eyeballs because iWeb uses the same webpage to open my downloadable file.
The option to check, 'open in new web page' is not appearing.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You need to first upload the file to your server and use the URL to the file at that location as the link to external page option of the Inspector/Link/Hyperlink pane. If the browser supports displaying the file type it will open in a new window.

The font size on a web page is now so small I can't read it.Ok with IE

Without warning I am unable to read articles on Gary Bagnall's blog. I do not have any problem though when using Internet Explorer. I have gone to Tools, Options, Content and the font shows as Times New Roman size 16

How can I get firefox to show everything from left to right, without a curser that I have to move, in win-xp?

It used to be ok. I had a firexox teeshirt from way far back, firefox 1.0. Then i had a hemorrhagic stroke, about 3 years ago. Now i'm back, in a new place, for two months now.
(I use my left hand now...) and once again, i have a desktop, with win-xp (and five internal harddrives, and a 600w ps.) Anyway, for the first time with my new desktop, there is a cursor in the bottom of firefox, and it doesn't show everything, left to right unless i move it.
I've been out of commission, with only a laptop, with win-7-64bit edition, that i got just 7 months before my stroke. My sister threw away all of my desktops...many of which i built. The doctor said i may die...so my sister didn't even wait, but threw away my CLOTHES AND BOOKS AND COMPUTERS (except for the laptop), but she saved most of my harddrives...i guess i taught her how to save harddrives.
Anyway, it's been three years, since i've had no 32bit computer with win-xp, and i can't figure out how to make things go back to the way i'm used to. HELP! I was in your forums, when my e-mail was [email protected], which it will be again , soon. But for how, how do i get firefox to show all, left to right, without a bottom cursor? i know it's possible. (And while i'm asking questions, how can i, tony mendola, get another firefox 1.0 tee shirt? i would even pay for it, even though i'm on social security-disability, with only one hand working..and no work. I used to wear it, proudly when fixing computers for others.)

Hi manni394, what version of Firefox are you running now?
Firefox 22 has a new way of setting the default zoom level: it is based on your Windows font size setting. So, if you set Windows fonts to 125% (enlarged 25%), your Firefox pages also will be enlarged 25%. On pages that do not adjust their layout, you may get a horizontal scroll bar.
To reduce the zoom on a page, hold Ctrl and tap the - key (the one on the numeric keypad or the one on the number row of the keyboard). The zoom should be reduced for each tap.
If you want to globally adjust your zoom level to be lower, you can use either of these add-ons:
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/ Default FullZoom Level]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/ NoSquint]
If you already have one of those add-ons, check the default/global zoom level in case it needs to be adjusted.

== This happened ==

If you have a separate FTP client, you could use that (link: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.3/win32/en-US/ )
If you have email on the machine, have a friend email you the installer file.
Else you'd have to use an external storage device (USB drive, external hard disk or some such).
