I am trying to get Firefox running on a large network where I have multiple users that log on with the same user name and password. The problem is that when another user logs on to another computer the message comes up that their is already an instance of firefox running on that computer even though there really isn't. Only one instance can be run on the network at one time. I believe it is because firefox stores a shared profile as it thinks it is actually the same user even though it is being run on another computer. I repeat that each user that logs on uses the same user name and password but on different computers.

How can I get Firefox to boot before windows?
My hard drive will not boot or read. I'm using Windows 7 and apparently it's a virus infected nothing works except for the blue screen of death. Can't I use Firefox to boot my computer instead of windows? How do I get to boot during the start up?
Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode with networking.
'''[http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Linux+Safe+Mode Starting The Computer In Safe Mode;<br>Free Online Encyclopedia]'''
If the menu has a '''Repair''' option, try using it.
If you can't fix this yourself, you will need a tech. Good luck. -
Firefox 3.6.8, Windows XP Pro
Frequently when I try to do a print of a web page, I end up printing only whatever fits on the first printed page. Instead of continuing to later pages as needed, the rest of the displayed web page is simply ignored.See Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page"

Windows Vista can't find the Firefox.exe program on my machine but it is right there in program files. Windows won't run it. After clicking on the short cut icon and after a delay I get an error message saying that windows can't find it. What can I do to fix this problem?
Hey merodi,
I dont fully understand your problem here,
1. Did your computer shut down or 'die' or did you save and then you cant find it?
2. Have you tried looking in spotlight (little magnifying glass up the corner)
3. Have you tried opening the program again? In word and pages, if the program exited forcefully, opening it again will restore the document. -
whenever I now go to mozilla firefox, it opens the whats new, or how to syn ? I don't have anything to sync, just want to go to the Home page I selected
Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''about:config'''''.
If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
and press enter. '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
If you want, right click and select '''''Modify'''''. You can change the
setting to;<BR><BR>about:home (Firefox default home page),<BR>
about:newtab (shows the sites most visited),<BR>
about:blank (a blank page),<BR>
or you can enter any web page you want.<BR><BR>
The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
'''''browser.startup.homepage'''''. -
yahoo states that I cannot utilize email chat or messenger unless I have Firefox 8. How can I get Firefox 8? I downloaded 9 and now can't chat with friends and family in Yahoo...**sigh**
Hi Tgordineer,
This sounds like a known issue reported here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
There was a workaround posted, but I've not tested it myself. Here are the steps.
# Go into Yahoo Messenger Options - Change the Window in the dropdown to Tab and press OK.
# Then go back and switch it to small window and press OK.
Once the bug is officially resolved, you could try running a Nightly or Aurora build to use the fix early.
Hopefully this helps! -
How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox openedFirefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

How can I get Firefox to automatically rename images when clicking "Save image as" on the menu, when an image with the same file name already exists in the folder??
Hello,
That is not a feature that is supported natively within Firefox but there are various add-ons which I think will do the job you need.
The one I have used is [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-slide-show/?src=search Web Slide Show]. This is primarily an add-on for viewing a slideshow of images when they are presented as thumbnails on a web page. However once you are in the slideshow there is a download button which will download all the images in the slideshow. It will automatically rename the images if an image with the same name already exists in the folder.
If you don't like that add-on then here are some others that may do the same job:
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/image-download-%E2%85%B1/?src=search Image Download II]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/image-picker/ Image Picker]
I hope that helps. Let me know if not.
Also I notice that you are using Firefox v23. That is now an outdated version. To get the latest security updates I suggest updating to version 24. See the support article here: [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]. -

How can I get Firefox to search my computer for plugins that are already there?
How can I get Firefox to search my computer for plugins that are already there?
Adobe's Flash player is already on my computer from IE 8. How can I get Firefox to see that it is already on my PC and use it so I don't have to download it again and possibly create other problems. Also, in my efforts to download Flash, Firefox activated IE which made me concerned that proceeding WOULD cause problems our just leave me where I am now where IE can use Flask but Firefox cannot.Internet Explorer uses a ActiveX version of the Flash player plugin as it does not work with other browsers.
Download the Plugin-based browsers version from https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html and make sure Firefox is closed when you install it. -

For searches from the Search Bar, when you use the Enter key.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />

Pref = '''browser.search.openintab''' = double-click to toggle to '''true''' -
In my emails, how can I get Firefox to open links that begin with the word "click."? Instead of giving the me the message that says, for example, "Firefox can't find the server at click.americas.links.hp.com." This also happens when I try to open the links using Explorer.
This link was not valid when I clicked it. Please contact the person sending these links they do not seem to work. The page takes me to a page that says it will load after 5 seconds, however there is not valid link.
