How do I get to the Firefox equivalent of IE's "check for newer versions of stored pages" under tools, IE options

I need the firefox equivalent of Internet Explorer's (v8) "check for newer versions of stored pages under Tools, Internet Options, Browsing history. I cannot find where this would be in firefox and have an application that depends on seeing a "fresh" copy of a page each time it's served up by the web. Please advise.

You can find the tools under the Comments menu.

In Internet Explorer, in the internet options, you can change the temporary internet files to check for newer versions of stored pages. Can this be done in Firefox? And How?

I just want to know how I can change the settings to check for newer versions of stored pages in Firefox.

There is a hidden preference that controls when Firefox checks for a newer version. # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.cache.check_doc_frequency''', double-click on it to change its value
For details on the possible values of his preference see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.check_doc_frequency

How do I set the options to check for newer versions of stored pages so I get a new refreshed version every time I visit a web page?

I can do this in IE easily but can't find any place in Firefox for this setting. Every time Firefox starts and/or I visit previously viewed pages I want Firefox to refresh the page. It used to do this before I downloaded a new version of Firefox within the past couple months. (I wish I had not installed the new version, I really don't like it as well and I lost features I used.)

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.cache.check_doc_frequency
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 or changed via the right-click context menu.

Is it possible to keep an email account on the iPhone but stop if from checking for new mail?

I have an email account that has been deleted from the provider (Gmail), but I want to keep the old mails on my phone, while stopping it from checking for new mail. Is this possible?
If I disable the account to stop if from checking for new mail (and producing a bunch of annoying pop-ups every time the mail app is opened), the account becomes invisible and the old mails disappear. I want to keep them visible to I can read and refer to them, but want to stop the phone from trying to download new ones or check the account.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks for the thought. In this case, that doesn't really help much, as it requires a bunch of button pushing just to check emails. Plus, if I'm not mistaken, in addition to switching modes every time I check email, it also prevents the other accounts from downloading the most recent mails as well. Since it's possible to keep an account on a Mac computer, but take it offline, it's very disappointing if there isn't a way to do the equivalent on an iPhone so that it passively holds the mails but doesn't send constant pop-ups every time the app is accessed.

How do I get back the firefox page that has the connection to gmail, not just the search engine?

When I open fire fox I get a page that says it is 'my web search'. There is no way to connect to g mail on that page. Previously, the page did searching and had a connection to g mail. I miss it. How do I get it back?

Do you have the Test Pilot Addon? Test pilot was expirimenting with new tab pages recently, to determine which new tab page should make it into a later version of firefox (probably 9 or 10). I believe the study is over now, so they have removed the new tab page.
To get a similar feature search http://addons.mozilla.org for '''new tab page''' or '''Speed dial''' extensions.

Try to update to Firefox 29 via Help > About or download and save the full Firefox installer to the desktop and start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon.
You can find the full version of the current Firefox 29.0 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

When you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop to an "Old Firefox Data" folder.
Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you have made are lost and need to be redone.
It is possible to recover more data from the old profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

You can create a new profile to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

How do you get to the firefox safe mode?

The example show what to do when you get to safe mode but it does not show the step of how to get to safe mode. In order to get to the safe mode how do you get there? The steps are not clear, I guess what I am asking is what are the step by step instructions starting from where to do go to get the safe mode choice?
My main problem is my enter button does not work in firefox google search. It will work for a short time and all of a sudden it will stop. How can I fix this problem as well?

You can also try to clear the cache and the cookies from sites (e.g. google.com) that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

How do I get to the firefox start page (that says Google)?

When I click on the Firefox icon on my XP desktop, I just get a blank page. Sometimes it just goes to Yahoo.
I just want the Firefox start page that has Google (blank). Because that is where my bookmarks are.

Look at the top of the Firefox where it says '''File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help''' and click on the Tools ->Options ->General
If you have the Menu bar hidden and have a orange Firefox button then click on the an look to righe side of that menu where it says "Options"
If you want the Firefox start page as home page then set it as
http://www.google.com/firefox/

How do you get to the ichat menu? I am a brand new mac user

So I accidently put the wrong user name when I was setting up ichat and I want to go back and change it with an AIM account, but I can't seem to figure out how to get into the menu of iChat. Just got the computer last night

Hi,
This first (From Defcom)
Click on iChat in the dock at the bottom of your desktop first.
This will either bring iChat to the Front or launch iChat is it is not open.
Then you should be able to do irvine91's stuff
Open iChat > In the Menu bar along the top of the screen click on iChat and then Preferences > Select the accounts tab and then you can use the plus and minus icons to add and remove new accounts.
Removing the incorrect one and adding a new Account with the correct info is probably easier than trying to edit the existing one that is set up at the moment.
IF the Existing one has Buddies added set up the new one then Select all the Buddies in the Current Buddy List and drag them to the new Buddy list.
Then you can delete the first one you set up (that is incorrect).
Presumably if you put in incorrect details it is not even able to Log-in and have not been able to add Buddies.

How do I prevent Firefox from installing a new version when I click on the "Check for New Version" button? And why does it even do this?

I check for updates manually and this is frustrating because I can't stop it once it starts. There is no "Cancel" button or anything that will stop the update.
"Check for updates" does not mean "Install updates"

OK, I guess that's what I'll do. Thanks.
I do have to say it is kind of ridiculous for them to remove the "There is an update. Do you want to install it?" that every other application uses. Even FF plug-ins use one. Checking for an update should not automatically install it.
That is bad enough, but removing the "Cancel" button during the update download is one for the ages. Whatever happened to "user-friendly"? I guess they know what we need better than we do.

How can I get my favorites files and folders after upgrading to a new version?

Hi.
I recently rebooted my computer back to factory condition an upgraded to the newest version of fire fox.
I lost all my favorites, bookmarks and important folders. Is there a way I can restore that information back to fire fox?

Not if you didn't backup your personal data in the Firefox program folder or were using Firefox Sync.
You should always backup your personal data before reformatting the computer.
