How do I get Firefox not to put my ctrl-v text into a picture box?

I'm entering data into a website via Ctrl-c Ctrl-v and it is entered as a picture with a sizing box around it instead of text. This does not happen when I edit the site with IE.

How can I get Firefox to execute html code in a text file?

I used Notepad to create a text file, markup.html, that contains html code. How can I get Firefox to execute this code?
Also, how can I use the <script> tag in the html code using the src attribute to execute code in a file written in Javascript?

First guess is that you did not use an .html extension on the file. The file may well be ''name.html.txt''

How can i get firefox not to open up when i click on a WMV?

i downloaded windows media player 11 and now when trying to watch a WMV saved in my documents instead of my media player opening up i go into firefox and multiple tabs open up very fast instead of my media player opening? i can watch other types of videos like MPEG and firefox doesn't open! but when tying to watch a WMV i just get firefox?

What I'd like to be able to do is:
Use "Show my windows and tabs from last time" ("Don't load tabs until selected" checked). If I close and open Firefox all my tabs are there. Once in a wile I know that I had, lets say, 20 tabs open when Firefox was closed BUT I want to open it without all those tabs... just home page or blank page. I was wandering if there a key I could press during start up to prevent Firefox from opening all saved tabs (like "shift" for Safe mode).

How do I get firefox to place photos from my e-mails into "iPhoto"??

I had safari before, now have firefox.....firefox will only let me put photos from e-mails into "downloads". I want them in iPhoto, but they will not go from firefox nor from downloads now....unless I switch back to safari and safari is extremely slow and sometimes does not work at all. ????????

You can change where Firefox saves '''ALL''' of your downloads by selecting a folder in the General pane of the Options menu. A step-by-step guide on how to accomplish this can be found [[Startup, home page and download settings|here.]]
If you want to save only certain files to a location, you can right-click on the image and choose "Save Image As...". You will then be able to choose where to save that specific file.

How do you get firefox not to report personal information

A federal Goverment Agency posted some of my personal information on the web and is doing so illigally in violation of the privacy act, and other reporting laws, can some one tell me how to get Fire Fox not to report this illegal information ?

Hi andy82997gmail.com, what kind of information are you talking about?
I noticed you included a link to a Department of Housing and Urban Development PDF. What was that for?
There are a number of aspects to being safe and protecting your privacy on the web.
When you visit a website using Firefox, the browser usually will allow the site to set and retrieve cookies. This allows the site to know your browser from all the other browsers visiting the site. Most cookies do not contain personal or confidential information, but depending on the site you visit, it's possible. Many (most?) sites also include content from other servers, and these servers can set and retrieve their own cookies, often called "third party" cookies. These tend to be for tracking your online activity to show you more persuasive advertising. Firefox lets you manage all kinds of cookies. For more information, see this article: [[Cookies - Information that websites store on your computer]].
Using Firefox, you also can store information about your browsing: bookmarks, history, information entered on forms, logins, and so on. Are you concerned about any of that information? You could try this feature: [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit]].
When you browse the web (in regular mode or private browsing mode), intermediate service providers generally capture information about the sites you visit in their web logs (e.g., date, time, URL). Some people who do not want their ISP to track their browsing will sign up with a VPN service. Of course, you need to trust the service: there is no way to request a URL and not have anyone see it at all.
Finally, Firefox allows you to install add-ons, either from the Firefox add-ons site or bundled with other software you install. You should keep an eye on add-ons and all other software you install to avoid spyware or malicious programs.

How can I get Firefox not to update?

I unchecked all update boxes in options>advance>update after uninstalling 5 and re-installing 4. Some time (days or weeks) later I saw a window saying Firefox was downloading updates. I found the update box had been rechecked--definitely not by me, and I'm the only user of this computer.
Today, again some time later, I again saw the downloading updates window. This time the boxes remained unchecked but, if the window was correct, updates are still downloading.
I am on dial-up and don't spend that much time online so I have not yet had 5 reimpose itself on my computer.

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

When forwarding an email, and highlighting my contact, how can I get Firefox to automatically put the contact in the "To" box? I have AOL.

You can set to open a blank page on opening Firefox and click the Home button if you want to see the Home page. You can also click ESC to stop loading the page before typing in the location bar.
Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show a blank page"

How do I get a PDF document put into an attachment form that I can drag to an e-mail. Usually I get an icon showing an spiral note book which then becomes an attachment when I drag it to the e-mail, but occasionally it stays in PDF and prints out on the e-mail. What have I done differently?

Thanks again for the detailed instructions Srini!

This reads backwards, It is the other way as "Norton update is compatible with Firefox 9".

I'm on Firefox 3.6.8 running on a 2008 IMAC with OS 10.5.8 yet every click to move pages, from start-up, to return to Home Page takes minutes, not seconds! If I use Safari that's greatly faster on this same set-up. How do I get Firefox to be as fast ?

== Some time back, beggining with Firefox updates, at least three, or more updates ago.

Thanks for the tip. I took the following steps:
1) Backed up the existing profile (presumably corrupted somewhere);
2) Deleted the existing profile;
3) Moved the existing Firefox to the Trash and downloaded a fresh copy;
4) Started Firefox (thus allowing it to create its default profile)
5) Copied the following files from the backup copy of the previous profile: places.sqlite, key3.db, signons.sqlite, permissions.sqlite, persdict.dat, cert8.db ---

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).

'''IT'S A EASY AS IT SHOULD BE.'''
This is essentially paulbruster's answer, but I've added the steps some might assume, but which aren't so obvious to those of us who are new at this, like me.
This solution might ''appear'' to be long and complicated, but after you follow the directions once, you'll find it's quick, clean, and simple. Almost like they designed it this way.
# If you haven't already, open a bunch of tabs on a few different subjects.
# Click the List All Tabs button on the right side of the tab strip.
# Select Tab Groups.
# Create a few groups as described [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-are-tab-groups#w_how-do-i-create-a-tab-group here] , i.e. just drag them out of the main thumbnail group into the new groups they create.
# Now click on any thumbnail in any new group, but not the original big default group you may have left some tabs in.
#A regular Firefox window will open, but'' only the tabs in that group will be visible.'' You also now have the Tab Groups button in the tab strip.
# Right click on any tab, and there it is: Bookmark All Tabs. Click on it in the list of options. Or you can hit Ctrl+Shift+D instead and go straight to the dialogue box from the tab without any clicks. But don't go looking for this familiar option anywhere else, 'cause it's not there.
# Now pick an existing folder or create a new one just like you would have before and '''shlpam!''' there they are. New folders are supposed to end up in the Unsorted category all the way at the very bottom, but for some reason mine show up at the bottom of my last sorted category.
# DO NOT CLICK THE UPPER-RIGHTMOST X to close this group of tabs. This will close ALL of your tabs in all groups, currently visible or not. At least it asks if you're sure first. Instead, click your new Tab Groups button to return to the Boxes 'O Thumbnails window, and click the X in the group box you just bookmarked.
# Click on another thumbnail to repeat the process with another group, or click on a thumbnail in the big default box to return to the original FF window. You can also click the Tab Groups button at the upper right, or Ctrl+Shift+E, which will also get you ''into'' the Boxes 'O Nails window ''from'' FF.
# So now when you reopen FF after shutdown, simply select your folder from your Bookmarks and Open All in Tabs. '''Just like paulbruster said. '''

How can I get Firefox to NOT use DDE? If I uncheck it in Windows XP "Folder options" it keeps getting re-checked. When checked, it takes minutes to get Firefox to open on a page linked from Outlook.
