How do I get Firefox to allow me to go to the Facebook site, it blocks all attempts.

Every time I google facebook or try to go to the site from an email link, Firefox blocks it and gives a message it is an untrusted site.

By the way, another user discovered their Facebook issue was caused by their ESET security software needing to be updated: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1057306 Why is mozilla not accepting facebooks certificate on my pc ?] Not sure if that is relevant to you.

How do I get firefox to stop telling me it stopped the web site I am on from opening a new window even though it has gone to the next page I have clicked on?

This happens even on my banking sites and bill pay sites. The little bar comes down at the top of the page. Gives me the option of allow, when I right click it does not do anything. I have to click the x or allow to make it go away.

See:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

Why wont google toolbar work with fire fox 5????? also how can i get firefox 4 back so i can use the toolbar???

Hello,my question is why wont google toolbar work with firefox 5?????
Also how can i get firefox 4 back so i can use the toolbar???

This page is an easier way to download Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-4.0&os=win&lang=en-US , as this links starts the download process asap.
I needed to upgrade to Firefox 4.0+ for an add-on that I really needed. However, I can't use Firefox 5.0, as I randomly checked 3 add-on's I had: "Firefox PDF", "Delicious Bookmarks" and "After the Deadline", and none of them worked with Firefox 5.0. In fact, I will have to download alpha versions, etc., to get these add-ons to work with Firefox 4.0.

How do I get FireFox to allow a plugin that I have told it to allow??

I am having a problem getting FireFox to allow the RealDownloader plugin.
I have used Add-on Manager to set the RealDownloader plugin to Always Activate
BUT on certain websites, FireFox give me a bar asking if I want to allow it to run RealDownloader or continue blocking it. I select Allow and Remember
BUT the next day when I go to the same site it again gives me the same bar asking if I want to allow RealDownloader or continue blocking it. And, AGAIN, I select Allow and Remember -- but the next day it does the same thing.

How do I get Firefox 5 to work with FAFSA data entry web site @ed.gov which only allows Firefox 3.6 or earlier?

Site blocks usage of Firefox 4 and Firefox 5. Is there a way to get Firefox 5 to tell the site I'm using Firefox 3.6? Can I use a portable version of Firefox 3.6 without scrambling Firefox 5 (I don't like this option because there isn't an official portable version, but it's probably better than IE.)?
BTW, this is a fundamental customer (as opposed to enterprise) support issue being created by the new release schedule. It doesn't matter how good Firefox is if I can't use it.

Yes, use Firefox Portable for that website. 
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36
I doubt is this is an issue with the Fast Release schedule, more like an issue with a website that is incorrectly screening the user agent of the browsers being used, or with a website that hasn't been updated for a browser that was released over three months ago.

Website requires Silverlight 4 (4.0.60831.0). How do I get Firefox to allow access to the now outdated but required plugin? Thanks

I used to have Firefox 18.0.1. Now have Firefox 19.0.2. I use a website where Silverlight 4 is required. Silverlight 5 is incompatible with the website. Firefox 18 allowed use of Silverlight 4. Firefox 19 has disabled the plugin as outdated. How can I force acceptance of Silverlight 4?

Have you tried uninstalling the current version of Silverlight and installing version 4? What happens when you try to install version 4? What is the error message you are receiving?

How can I get Firefox to connect to websites that are not Google sites?

This evening Firefox would not connect to my homepage (BBC) or anything in my bookmarks I tried. However, It would connect to anything Google (eg maps, mail etc), and run searches, but would not connect to any sites listed as the results of these searches.
I contacted my internet supplier, who ran various tests, including emptying history, cache/cookies and resetting to default values of Firefox. But nothing solved my problem. It was fine this morning and showed no problems of this type before. I have the latest version of Firefox. My machine is Windows XP, I have the latest IE that can still be loaded - that won't even connect to Google to search, (but perhaps it is unable to because it is too old?)
A couple of months back I had the computer cleaned/tuned, they replaced mcafee with Avast, but I had no problems accessing different websites. I still only run the free version of this. I cannot work out how to access its firewall settings.
So the problem seems to be that the only sites I can access at all Google sites via Firefox...and Mozilla. I know Google is kind of ubiquitous but how I can't imagine how settings could suddenly become altered to be so specific!

Strange problem.
Did you try to start your computer in "safe mode", to see if the problem is still there ?
Who replaced your antivirus and cleaned your computer ? Can they help you ?
For the moment, I see 3 hypothesis :
- a problem of DNS : do you know what it is and where to check them ?
- a problem of Firewall : do you know how to manage the settings of your's one ?
- a problem of security : do you know how to check if there are malwares installed on your computer ? You should do this before any other solutions anyway.
If it doesnt' work, try to install Google Chrome, to see if this browser can go on other websites. If yes, it is time to uninstall/reinstall Firefox.

I want to add Adobe Flash Player, How can I get Firefox to allow it?

I just made Mozilla Firefox my browser ...now I want to view a video...but it says I need to download Adobe Flashplayer...but since I have Firefox it says I need to somehow enable the add on. How do I do that? Where on the Firefox toolbar can I do that?

How can I get Firefox to allow ads on websites?

When I load websites I don't see adds. This is most apparent on these sorts of sites (e.g. http://smashboards.com/ ) where I see a banner saying I have an ad-block enabled instead of seeing an advert. I do not have ad-block extensions. I have tried disabling all my extensions but this cause no change. I tried enabling tracking and allowing pop-ups but this also had no effect. I want ads to appear because I want to support the sites I visit.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

I can't get Firefox to allow pop ups - changed setting in options but still blocking pop ups

I have tried to allow pop ups by changing preferences in options but Firefox is not allowing the pop up windows. It used to work before but I can't understand why it won't work now.

Under "Content" in Options, you have UNchecked "Block pop-up windows", yet you still don't see any popups? Can you give us an example of a site that is not showing pop-ups despite you turning the feature off?
A good site to test the pop-up blocker feature is http://www.popuptest.com/ where you can see if it's running or not. More info here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Pop-up%20blocker?s=pop-up&r=0&e=sph&as=s

How can I get Firefox 8 to open new tabs at the end?

Hi,
I know there's a way to make Firefox open new tabs at the end instead of this really annoying forced 'open new tabs next to open tab behaviour'. Can anyone help me find it?
Thanks!
Evan

You can set the pref browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to false on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)
