How do I set Firefox 30 preferences so I will stay signed in to various websites?

In all versions from 24 back I could close out the browser and stay signed in to several websites I use on a daily basis. After upgrading from 24 to 30 it signs me out of every website, even tho I have the keep me signed in boxes checked and I have FF preferences set to not clear cookies & to show windows & tabs from last time.
I'm not happy about v 30 as I had to install even more add-ons in order to make it more convenient to use. IMHO sometimes it's not always worth fixing when it's not broken, especially when options are removed and new ones make it less user-friendly and more like 'other' browsers. One reason I liked FF so much was that it wasn't IE or the 'other' browser. :-((
How do I set preferences so I don't have to sign back in to every website each time I open the browser?
Thank you.
PS, Why does FF keep asking me if I want to allow silverlight when I go onto ebay? And is that something I should allow? I never needed it or was asked before v. 30.
PSS, just an observation when when clicking on the automatic troubleshooting info, FF window popped up saying it was blocking it's own site. I'm not very techie, so would like to know the purpose of FF blocking its own site. Thanks again!

  • How do I set Firefox preferences to automatically open links in a new tab (just like Firefox3) ?

    For example, when clicking on a link from a Google search, how can I have the link open automatically in a new tab as opposed to replacing the current page ?

    Hey, cor-el -- long time no see! Hey, I have a problem, & my brain isn't working well enough to suss it out at the moment. :(
    For some reason in the last week or so, links selected from either bookmarks or address bar no longer open automatically on selection, plus google search has disappeared from the nav toolbar . (Don't ask "what add-ons have you updated?" I don't know, & the add-on manager says I haven't done any recently.)
    I checked about:config for browser.search.openintab; value is still set true. I toggled it false, restarted FF, then re-toggled true & another restart -- no joy. :(
    I'm running 7.0.1 (release channel) on my work machine & the latest 8.x beta candidate at home; both exhibit the same behavior, so I'm assuming it's not a beta bug. What am I missing? I know it has to be something simple, but my brain refuses to compute. I know I could use safe mode & successively re-enable my add-ons, but I don't really have the time or mental clicks available.
    I'm hoping it's something simple since I really don't have time to plod through everybloodydangthing for the one bad value that I'm sure is causing it. :/
    Regards & Happy Monday!

    How do I set Firefox to be usable for all users on one computer?

    I would think the about:config entries discussed are ex-factory set to values each user has to change individually, after the installation has run its course. The solution could be to have patched files ready to install post factum:

    I just bought a new MacBook Air. In my old one, I could go from screen to screen by using three fingers to swipe over the key pad. This one just sits there. It is Yosemite. How do I set up preferences so I can use three fingers to move from screen to screen?

    Those choices are controlled via System Preferences, Trackpad.

  • How do I set Firefox 4 to automatically start in 16-bit mode?

    Certain web sites I use daily require Firefox 4 to be started in 16-bit mode. How do I set Firefox 4 to automatically start in 16-bit mode?

    Do you mean 32 bit mode as opposed to the default 64 bit mode?
    # Close Firefox
    # Open the Applications folder in Finder
    # Right click or control-click the Firefox.app icon
    # Select "Get Info"
    # Select or Deselect "Open in 32-bit mode"
    # Close the "Firefox Info" window
    # Restart Firefox

  • How can I set Firefox to print to PDF, the only otions I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

    A couple of weeks ago, from the file menu, in my print options was to print a web page to PDF, that facility is no longer there. does anyone know how can I set Firefox to print to PDF.
    The only options I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

    Firefox generally displays the printers in Windows' Printers folder (Start orb > Devices and Printers). If it is missing one of the printers listed there, could you indicate which one it is, for example, Adobe Distiller, PrimoPDF, CutePDF Writer, etc.?
    If you previously had an add-on which added print-to-PDF functionality just to Firefox, perhaps it got disabled. You could check here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
    Also, are you really running Firefox 8.0.1? That version from last November is no longer secure and has been superseded by Firefox 11. If you browse the web widely, you should update for your security.

  • Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is.  I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

    I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

  • How do I set Firefox to open new windows in a separate window (not in tabs)?

    How do I set Firefox to open new windows in a separate window (not in tabs)?

    Click the orange Firefox button, and click "Options". This will bring up a new window with a "Tabs" tab at the top. Click that. There will be several checked boxes, including one called "Open new windows in a new tab instead" up at the top of the list. Uncheck that box and you should be good to go.
    ETA: This should also work if you click "Tools" and "Options" within your version.

  • How do I set format preferences?

    Sorry to be stupid but how do I set the preferences in my FCP 10.0.3 to ensure it ingests, edits and exports in 1080i HD PAL 25fps ? I only get Import preferences when I go to Preferences.
    Thank you.

    PAL is standard definition. Normally FCP imports exactly what you shot as QuickTime. When you place a video clip in the timeline as the first item, it sets the project properties based on that clip. The current settings normally exports in ProRes.
    P.S. The bottom of your message says FCE. I assume that's not what you mean.

  • How do I set Firefox 5 to NEVER delete any history entry???

    How do I set Firefox 5 to NEVER delete any history entry???
    Like I could in firefox 3, in about:config, set firefox to store(and therefore never delete) history entries. up to 900k entries.
    I want the same in firefox 5. How?

    Yes, use Firefox Portable for that website. <br />

    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.

  • How do I set up calendar events that will be for another time zone? My events shift once I travel

    Basically, if your client does not have a Mac then don't use iWeb to create the site. iWeb is Mac only and if a client wishes to make alterations, then they need the domain file.
    If your client needs to update on a weekly basis, then why not consider using one of the online website creation packages where you can log in from any Mac or PC. This would be simpler and there are lots out there - Microsoft Office Live or Google or something like http://www.wix.com where you can create a site and use a domain name with it.
    Look at the alternatives before using iWeb.

    Then use a Layout template.
    I am a designer and I use Word Processing templates with layout breaks and all the other tools available because Layout templates are just WP templates with a lot of options removed.
    Pages is not Indesign, but then Indesign is not Pages, …and Pages 5 is not Pages '09.
    Unless your flyers are for the Web, why are you using Pages at all?
    I am curious, what does your post have to do with the O.P.'s question? …and why are you posting it here?

    Go into settings and reset all network connections. Then restart your device by holding the power and home button until the Apple logo appears. You will not lose any data. When the device restarts connect to your wireless network.
