    [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/make-firefox-default-browser-android How to make Firefox for Android your default browser]
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. <br>
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
    #Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
    #Tap '''Settings'''.
    #After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
    #You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
    #*Cookies & active logins
    #*Cache
    #After those have been selected, tap the '''Clear data''' button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

    How can I make address labels, preferably matching Avery sizes, in Pages please?  Please don't tell me there is no labels facility!!

    If you have your addresses set up in Address Book, the logical place for them, that is also the logical place to print them from.
    Pages will only use one data set per page, although there are ways around this. But then that wasn't your question.

  • 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.)

    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.<br />
    Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows.<br />
    You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
    Another possibility is to use:

  • How do I make Firefox the default browser in a non-administrative Windows XP account, where clicking to do so has no effect?

    I have two accounts for myself on my PC running Windows XP. In the administrative account, Firefox is already the default browser that opens when I double-click an HTML file, etc. Firefox knows it's the default browser there.
    In my other account, every time I start Firefox, it tells me it's not the default browser. Clicking there to make it the default, or in the options, does nothing.
    When I go to Set Program Access and Defaults in the administrative account, "Use my current Web browser" is selected. Mozilla Firefox is not listed as an option. In my non-administrative account, the Add or Remove Programs control panel can't be used. It says I don't have permission.

    To check that in the other account you would have to give it temporarily administrator permissions.

  • 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.

  • Can't Make Firefox My Default Browser

    I like Safari just fine but I want to make Firefox my default browser, OK? OK. Good.
    Now then, how do I tell Safari to STOP being my default browser?
    I have Firefox installed on the Mac and in its preferences, it thinks it's the default browser.
    So I went to Safari's preferences to make sure it doesn't still think IT's the default browser, but it does. So I went to the "general" tab under preferences. I see "Safari" as the default browser. I click the drop-box to choose a different application. Only "Firefox" is not listed anywhere among the applications.
    I installed Firefox from one of those "hard drive" like icons on my desktop. It runs fine from an icon in the dock. But near as I can tell, it's not listed among the applications on "Macintosh HD/Applications" directory. I suspect getting it listed there is going to be the first step in solving my default browser problem.
    So, what do I have to do to get "Firefox" listed among my applications, and then what else do I have to do to get it to be the default browser?
    Thanks,
    --PS

    No problemo, sorry about that.
    There is also a "Firefox.dmg" file on my desktop... I can tell that's not a .app, but... what is it exactly?
    The .dmg file is a disk image file. That is the format a lot of programs you download will be in. Some open by themselves to reveal the .app file some you have to double click.
    Double click on the firefox.dmg file. That should bring up a window that has a file called firefox.app. Right click with your mouse if you have one and drag it to the applications folder in your finder window.
    If you do not use a mouse put your cursor over thefirefox.app file. Now hold down the trackpad button and the ctrl key. Now you can use the trackpad to drag the file to the applications folder and drop it there.
    I prefer to not have any programs on the desktop. I like to use the dock to hold my favorites. Then the ones I don't use very often I just open from the applications folder.
