How do I configure Firefox to autmotically refresh webpages?

How can I configure Firefox to autmotically refresh webpages?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Day one using Firefox

This is not the answer to this problem, but to the inverse problem.
The guy wants to turn ON automatic refresh when the website's author didn't plan for that; "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page" is an option to turn OFF automatic refresh (or redirect) when the website's author *did* define automatic refresh (or redirect).

How do I configure Firefox to autofit webpages (i.e. so I don't have to scroll to the right to see everything) and display all webpage content?

I'm doing some maintenance on an old Dell Dimension 1100 (service tag: JGFN291, all drivers updated) for a friend, and I installed the new version of Firefox. Webpage graphics / backgrounds will not display, and the text on all webpages displays too large; I have to scroll to the left to see everything. How do I configure Firefox to automatically display all webpage content properly? It's probably due to the age of the PC and monitor (I think Noah took a pair of these on the ark with him back in the day), but I was hoping there was some other workaround for it. Any and all help is appreciated!

there is no replay for the problem ?? mozillas's stuff doesnt work as good as their web browser...

Thanks, Ronda! I haven't been able to try your suggestion because I fried my router! So I need to get a new wireless router before proceeding.
(I may start a new thread about getting a new router, but I will look for answers first to my questions and only start one if I cannot find answers.)
After I get a new router, I will try what you suggested and report back here.

I want my bookmarks file (places.sqlite) to reside on a network drive. How do I configure Firefox to do this?

You can use the profile manager to create a new profile and choose the location of that new profile to point to the profile folder on that network drive.<br />
Firefox will recognize that profile and use it.<br />
If you do need to create a new profile then make sure to point to a new empty folder and NOT a folder that already has other files in it.

In Firefox 3.6 on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
Press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide.

How do I configure Firefox 4.01 to save all tabs when closing the browser?

In the previous version 3.x.y of Firefox, when I closed the browser, it asked me if I wanted to save my open pages / tabs before closing. When I subsequently opened the browser again, it reloaded all the previously open tabs / pages. In version 4.01, before closing the browser warns me that I am closing multiple tabs but when I restart the browser again, it does not load the previously open tabs. How do I configure the browser to behave like the old 3.x.y version, i.e. neatly saving all the open tabs and loading these again when opening restarting the browser?

Hi TonyE, this was a very useful reply. The first part of your answer had already been posted by someone else. Your answer in particular shows the nitty gritty detail of how to automate it. I had searched in the options already but had not found step 3 above yet. But I have found it now and have changed it from "Home page" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time".
Thanks a lot for letting me know this solution and making me aware of the drop down list.

How can standarize the settings of Firefox, by ADM is not working as it only modifies the registry, how can I configure firefox for all my users ?

I used the adm from Frontmotion but it only works with the FirefixCE version, I need to force Firefox configuration in my domain with a standar version of Firefox, how can I do this, it could be by GPO or logon script

Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin. Sometimes it's necessary to uninstall then reinstall that plugin.
Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
Now launch Safari and try a video.
If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
You may also need to delete the cache associated with Safari .
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Click Go the move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a video.

How do I configure Firefox so that the down arrowhead in the location field actually causes the display of a drop down list of bookmarked websites?

At one time I had done the "right" actions so that the location drop down contained a list of around 20 of my most frequently accessed websites. Now I have a new computer and cannot figure out how to configure this new installation of Firefox so that this feature works as it did before. Frustrating!!!! When I click the down arrowhead (icon just left of reload page icon), no drop down menu appears; only the URL of the current page is highlighted.

See:
* Firefox (Tools) > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: Bookmarks
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Location+bar+autocomplete
*Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
*Use "Firefox > Options" instead of "Tools > Options" if the menu bar is hidden.

How can I configure FireFox security setting globally for all users on a PC? Is there something I can do in group policies or throught the registry to insure all users have the same settings?

Our Bank's core processor has rewritten their product to run in a web browser. Their browser of choice is Firefox 3.6. The specifications from our core processor specify specific security and settings parameters that must be adhered to by all users for their product to run properly. Is there a way to globally configure these settings via the registry or group policies to insure everyone who logs in to a given workstation opens Firefox with the same settings? Thank you for any assistance you can provide - Steve Gish, First Bank Kansas.

I have 2 lan connections, 1 connect to local network server and other to internet, how do i configure firefox to open website on my local network connection and internet also

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/812283''
I have 2 local area connections in my computer, one connects to local office network server and another to the internet. when i use firefox i want to configure it to use it to connect to my local office network server website which has address as http://199.123.9.1 and also internet web address simultaneously,

I found the solution, myself, you need to go to network settings and then select manual proxy setting and provide the ip address of the internet server . that's all

anyway thanks.

How do I configure Firefox to open multiple pages on startup and not set my homepage to open mutliple tabs?

So I know how to set my homepage to open multiple tabs, however it has the undesired effect of making it so those tabs are opened every time I hit the homepage button. Is there a way to set Firefox to open multiple pages on start-up, while not actually setting the homepage to open multiple tabs?

You can edit a copy of the Firefox desktop shortcut and add the links to the target field to make Firefox open those pages when you use this shortcut.
See:
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Command_Line_Options
If you run out of space (i.e. exceed the maximum length) then use a CMD file with the start command.
*start "" "<path_to_firefox\firefox.exe>" URL1 URL2

Where can I find details on how to globally configure FireFox 10 for networked users

I am trying to set configuration options in Windows7-32 and Firefox-10. I am having some troubles, and cannot seem to locate configuration details for the latest version of Firefox. Particularly in regards to where the configuration files are stored, and the options for modifying behavior for AllUsers.

The problem is that your Flash Player is not current. Check this to see what the current version is (vs what you have) and here to get the latest version. There is supposed to be a major security issue in the version you've got so Apple is blocking its use. In any case, don't get Flash Player from anywhere except Adobe.

How can you configure Firefox to apply updates as soon as they are available?

I have a mandate to update Firefox across every machine in my enterprise within 48 hours of a new release. I have been doing this with intranet distribution tools (SCCM, etc.) but because of the frequency of Firefox updates this has become laborious.
I've been looking at the about:config settings in the "app.update" category (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Category:Preferences) and some of those seem promising. As a test, I set "app.update.silent" to TRUE and "app.update.interval" to 60 (seconds) on a legacy version of Firefox. I restarted the browser, let it sit for a few minutes then restarted it again expecting the latest update to apply, but nothing happened.
How can I script or automate via Firefox's internal settings the same update process that is triggered when users manually go to Help > About?

The Nightly versions have these values for some of the prefs because they can be updated daily more than once because of a respin
*app.update.interval : 7200
*app.update.promptWaitTime : 43200
You may need to reset update timer prefs.
*app.update.lastUpdateTime.background-update-timer
You can have a look at the comments in the source code that handles the updating process to see if that gives some ideas.

How can i configure firefox single sign-on for urls on citrix environment to affect all users

Hello,
i tried to configure single sign-on on firefox, which is published on our citrix environment and i tried to setup it as per this article "http://support.citrix.com/article/ctx120598" this method and it only applies for a single user, is there any way of doing the config to apply for any user which is loged via citrix session...?
Thank you,
Manoj.

you can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values for all users and profile folders.
Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
