How can I make Firefox display Bookmarks tab instead of Top Sites when I touch the address bar?

I am using Firefox on HTC One. When I touch the address bar, I want to be able to see the Bookmarks tab instead of Top Sites. By default, it always goes to Top Sites. Is there a setting that I can change, or change the order of the tabs? Thank you

Hi:
Unfortunately you cannot remove the top sites homepage but you can pin a site, remove a site by unpinning it and edit a pinned site's url.
Please read [[Pin Sites on the Firefox for Android start screen|this article]] for instructions.
Hope this helps!

How can I start firefox with new tab instead of blank page?

Today I update firefox to 13.0. I like the new "new type". I want to konw how can I start firefox with new tab instead of blank page?
I don't want to change the homepage to about:newtab.
Sorry for my bad English.

This is a very annoying thing. Every update from Firefox resets this config setting back to about:newtab. I changed '''''browser.newtab.url''''' in 12.x to '''''about:blank''''' and it resetted back in update 13.0 and now I have to do the same thing again in 13.0.1.
The drawback with about:newtab is Firefox opens up dataports for every URL that are linked and gets reopened for every lame 'newtab' you click on. Just use [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx Tcpview - data port viewer] and watch how many extra dataports that opens up from this crazy 'feature'.

How do i make Firefox STOP frequently logging me out of sites when I chose "remember me"?

I have FF 24.0 now but this has happened through multiple versions, and its getting more and more frequent. (Win 7x64, 8G ram, 1T drive)
I always check "remember me" and "save this password" yet sites like Facebook, Google+ and many others keep logging me out, at *least* every other day and sometimes multiple times a day, so I have to login all over again- today I had the frustration of being logged out of a forum with each refresh of a page! (I'm logged in, hit "reply" and suddenly, "sorry you must login to do that!" HUH?)
I dont care if cookies never expire, and no one else but my husband has access to my computer and we know each other's passwords anyway.
I am hoping I can fix this without either reinstalling firefox or deleting the profile, because I have a pretty large bookmark file and about 9 add ons to reinstall, plus various plug ins!
I am starting to suspect its related to running out of cache space- sites can't seem to remember me when the cache is full?! , since its frequently at max (it was saying 350 max, now it says 500), I clear the cache whenever I notice its full. I did not clear it today until after it logged me out multiple times.

Incidentally, even replying by using the email link, I was logged out of this site already too, but not sure if that's default behavior or not.
It could be coincidence on the cache size because I don't constantly check it, but the times I have, it has fit that "theory", so I had to suspect it. It does ''seem'' with a clear cache, it takes longer before I get "forgotten".
None of my addons are specifically designed to clear cookies, and I don't think my security software (Bitdefender) is doing it either, as this issue far predated that particular installation.
Have done the "remove relevant cookies" thing a couple times before (I have been dealing with this for a very long time!) but it doesn't change the behavior.
I believe my ISP uses a dynamic IP setting for our DSL connection, changing a bit each time the modem restarts, and obviously there's nothing I can do about that. :( However, I most certainly did not change IP addresses between clicks of that forum I mentioned earlier!
It happens at sites that are unrelated to Yahoo or AOL, in fact Yahoo is actually a lot better about leaving me logged in, I'm rarely logged out there when I don't ask to be.
My connection setting was default as you noted: "use system proxy settings" but I changed it to "no proxy" on your suggestion.
I do not use anything that intentionally messes with or disguises my IP as far as I am aware.
X notifier does check all my email providers for new mail- Yahoo & Hotmail as well as Gmail, although Gmail is the only one of those that usually makes me log back in frequently. I can turn it off, but it would impossible to know immediately if it helped, because I can't predict exactly when I'll get logged out or not. Sometimes I can stay logged into a site for 2-3 days, (through browser closes and windows restarts) and sometimes only until I leave the site or close the browser. Or sometimes when I refresh the page apparently! Its just annoyingly often.
The "remember passwords" addon is also just a recent addition, this problem far preceded it, in case that makes anyone wonder.
I will delete the cookies for the sites that have recently dumped me, and disable my mail checker :cry: and let you know how soon/if I am logged out against my will again.

How can I set up an App Tabs for an active site like one of the BBC's radio stations? They turn out to be static and soon out of date.

I have been using an App Tab for static pages within Ancestry. No problem.
But I would like to make an App Tab for one of the radio stations for the BBC network in the UK. (I live in the UK.)
Every time I do so the tab sticks at the time I installed it. No good for listening to current programs 2-3 days later.
Has the introduction of active tabs just arrived with Firefox 5 (which I only installed five minutes ago)?

I agree anti-relay can be using UBE feature. However, there is serious problem in reject the spam mail. My nms is using UBE feature to stop spam mail. According to the work flow of the UBE, the mail is received by nms completely and UBE is going to invesgate the mail address. Although UBE can stop the spam mail, the spam mail have a trouble in returning the mail to the sender. The reason is the sender address is usually not existed in the world. That will cause a lot of mail waiting in the mail queue.
In my experience, do not use UBE for anti-relay.

Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows. 
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
Another possibility is to use:

How can I make Firefox recognise that I have changed the DNS servers to use?

After I edit /etc/resolv.conf to make my computer use more reliable DNS servers, Firefox doesn't notice until I restart it. How can I make Firefox notice the change without restarting it?

I discovered that I can do this by ticking Work Offline in the File menu, and then immediately unticking it again.
(I believe this mimics what would happen if the operating system disconnected and reconnected from a wireless network, which would be a situation where Firefox would need to check for new DNS servers. So that explains why it works.)

How can I actually PLAY a game on my iPhone 6? When I GOTO the Game Center and click games, all I get is the screen with leaderboards, stats, etc

How can I actually PLAY a game on my iPhone 6? When I goto the Game Center and click on games, then click on a specific game (solitaire, for example), all I get is the leaderboards, achievements and player screen. All I want to do is launch the game.

Hi Jordanali!!!
Game Center is just simply used for what you are seeing, leaderboards and stats between your friends and yourself.
To launch an app, first download it from the app store, then just tap the icon on the home screen when it is done downloading!!!
I hope that answers all of your questions!

How can I do for ESA work with token RSA, I mean when I entry the login the authentication with RSA

Hi there,
How can I do for ESA work with token RSA, I mean when I entry the login, the authentication ask me the token with RSA, Is it possible???
Regards,

Hello Miguel,
RSA tokens are currently not supported for login, neither to the GUI/CLI or access to the spam quarantine. There is currently a feature request"Support SecurID via RADIUS" for the WSA, if you want you can open a ticket and have either add your company to that request, or have it extended for ESA as well.
Hope that helps,

Firefox Health Report Vital Stats shows bookmarks 14, but Raw Data shows bookmarks 7917. How can I make Firefox Health Report Vital Stats show bookmarks 7917?

All data in the about:healthreport Firefox Health Report page is accurate except for the persistently inaccurate bookmarks count in the Vital Stats section of the page, which counts only 14 bookmarks and fails to count the other 7903 bookmarks.
The about:healthreport Firefox Health Report Vital Stats section shows bookmarks 14.
The about:healthreport Firefox Health Report Raw Data page shows bookmarks 7917.
The Firefox/Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks/Library window shows 7910 items.
How can I make the about:healthreport Firefox Health Report Vital Stats section correctly and accurately show "bookmarks 7917" instead of incorrectly and erroneously showing "bookmarks 14"?
Platform: FF 36.0.4, Mac OS X 10.8.5
Platform: FF 31.5.2 ESR, Mac OS X 10.8.5
The following steps reveal the issue:
(1) In the Firefox Navigation Bar, type "about:healthreport" (without the quotation marks) to open the Firefox Health Report page.
(2) On the left side of the Firefox Health Report page, in the Vital Stats section, the following data appears: bookmarks 14. This is false data because the browser actually has 7917 bookmarks, not 14 bookmarks. All other data in the Firefox Health Report page is accurate.
(3) In the Firefox Health Report page, click the Raw Data link to reveal all Raw Data.
(4) Page Down approximately 10 pages to the following specific Raw Data:
"2015-03-22": {
"org.mozilla.addons.counts": {
"_v": 2,
"extension": 28,
"plugin": 6,
"theme": 1
"org.mozilla.healthreport.submissions": {
"_v": 2,
"continuationUploadAttempt": 1,
"firstDocumentUploadAttempt": 1,
"uploadSuccess": 1,
"uploadTransportFailure": 1
"org.mozilla.places.places": {
"_v": 1,
"bookmarks": 7917,
"pages": 4293
5) The preceding Raw Data correctly indicates the following data: "bookmarks": 7917,
6) Open the Firefox/Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks/Library window.
7) In the Library window sidebar, select the entry "All Bookmarks".
8) In the Library window Search Bookmarks search bar, type the colon punctuation mark " : " (without the quotation marks) to reveal the entire list of all items (bookmarks) in the Library window.
9) In the Library window, select any one of the items (bookmarks) in the list of items.
10) Press the <command> <A> keys to select and highlight automatically all items in the items (bookmarks) list, and Firefox automatically will begin the process of counting all items (bookmarks) in the items list.
11) After a counting interval of several seconds, the count of the total number of items (bookmarks) that are present in the items list appears near the bottom-center of the Library window: 7910 items.
12) I installed the "Places Maintenance" add-on, selected the "All" preference, and executed the add-on, but it did not correct the issue.
13) The about:healthreport Firefox Health Report Vital Stats section counts only 14 bookmarks and fails to count the remaining 7903 bookmarks.
Note --
On the support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions site, after selecting ASK A QUESTION and writing this question, I attempted to upload image files with the question, but I am unable to upload a JPG (97 KB) image file or a PNG (307 KB) image file because the "Add Images Browse" function appears to be broken.
Each time I click the "Add images: Browse" button, select one of the image files, and click "Open" to upload the image file, a spinning gear appears in a square beneath "Uploaded images:", and the spinning gear continues to spin without stopping. The image file does not upload.
While the gear is spinning, the message "Uploading <filename>.jpg" or "Uploading <filename>.png" remains constantly visible beneath the square that contains the spinning gear.
I think the gear would have continued to spin for eternity if I had not reloaded the page after the gear had been spinning for a full 7 minutes.
The image files would not upload.

It could be the work of one of your add-ons.
Type '''about:addons'''<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager.
Hot key; '''<Control>''(Mac:<Command>)''<Shift> A)'''
In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select '''Extensions.'''
Disable a few add-ons, then '''Restart Firefox.'''
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until
the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue.
Re-enable the last group '''ONE AT A TIME''' (restarting FF) until the problem returns.
Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the
others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is detective.

How can I recover Firefox information (bookmarks, open tabs, etc) after "Refresh" caused profile loss?

Firefox kept hanging up. I tried Refresh button; received "almost done" message, then nothing happened. I quit & restarted Firefox, & now get message that profile is missing or moved. Used Mozilla instructions to locate profile, it was not in folder I was directed to. I now have a "Old Firefox Data" folder on my desktop.

It sounds as though the Refresh did not complete normally. But you knew that.
Since I am a Windows user, I apologize in advance if this reply is not completely applicable to your system.
Check inside "Old Firefox Data" folder for a folder with a semi-randomized name. If there's only one, that probably has your old settings and add-ons. If there's more than one, you'll want to work with the one that was updated most recently.
Once you have identified the profile folder you want to restore, here is my suggested "old profile resurrection procedure":
'''Overview'''
These are the steps detailed below:
# Create a new Firefox profile
# Remove everything from that new profile folder
# Copy in everything from the old profile folder
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
Quit Firefox if it's running. Start up in the Profile Manager using the method in this article: [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]].
''Notes:''
* Do not delete anything here!
* Any time you want to switch profiles, quit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like OldSettings, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then select that new profile in the dialog and start Firefox.
'''Open the New Profile folder in Finder'''
Firefox in the new profile should look like a factory fresh installation. Open the Troubleshooting Information page using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter/Return
In the first table, click the "Show in Finder" button. Firefox will launch an Finder window showing the contents of your brand new profile folder.
Leaving that folder open, switch back to Firefox, and Quit/Exit. When Firefox closes, the new profile folder should be front and center, or you can activate it using the Task bar (?? or Mac equivalent).
'''Copy Old Data in Place of New'''
In that new profile folder, select all the contents and delete. Make sure you don't delete from your old folder.
Leaving that window open, open or switch over to your Old Firefox Data folder. Drill down into your old profile folder. At this level you should see a folder named bookmarkbackups among other things.
Select everything and Copy (either right-click > Copy or Command+c).
Switch to the empty new profile folder in other window and Paste (either right-click > Paste or Command+v). This may take a minute since some of the files are large.
'''Start Firefox'''
Firefox should start up in that new profile with the resurrected old profile data. Success?

When I have many tabs open, & I am viewing the 1st one in the row of tabs, how can I make ctrl+T open tab next to it instead of down at the end of all the tabs?

If, for example, I have 50 tabs open, and I happen to be working on the very first tab out of the long row of tabs (tab #1 out of 50 total tabs)....if I suddenly need a new tab next to the one I'm on so that I can do something else related to what I am doing on my current tab's website, pushing ctrl+t opens up the new tab clear down at the very end of the long row of tabs (i.e., the new tab would be tab #51). How can I make the new tab open up right beside the one I'm working on at the moment?

You would need an extension to achieve this
You can look at this extension:
