How do you stop lists of previous comments from popping up in Facebook when you try to enter a new comment?

I have the same problem as this person but the response to him didn't have anything to do with the mobile version (even though it's right there in the title):
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/961467?esab=a&as=aaq
I'm running mobile Firefox 22.0 on a Nexus 4 and recently (this week I think) Firefox has decided it would be great to list every single comment that I've made on Facebook when I go to enter text in a comment field. It's extremely annoying and aggravating since it blocks the rest of the page while you're trying to type. I've been using FF for almost 15 years now on my desktop and the last 2.5 years on my mobile phones. Never seen this kind of problem and I have scoured for a solution to no avail.
I tried clearing the cache but that didn't help. I'm hesitant to clear the data or I'll lose my bookmarks (I'm not good at backing them up and won't take the time regardless) and whatnot but oddly enough somehow FF is only around 20 Mb yet it's bloated up to almost 120 Mb for some reason. I can't even find a setting to tell it how much memory to use for temp/cache files. I don't recall it ever getting anywhere near that bloated on my Thunderbolt.
I don't recall installing any updates recently. I haven't changed any settings. Nada. It seems to only be on FB's site too as I entered some info in my bank's website to test and when I reloaded and went to enter text in to the same fields there was no "history". It just started doing it all of a sudden. If I can't figure it out soon I will have to uninstall it. Please help.
On a side note not being able to access your bookmarks without opening another tab is simply, well, stupid. Took me a little while to figure out where they were hiding. It used to be in the menu but I realize that ICS was a little while back.

To prevent Firefox from displaying form autocomplete suggestions, you can turn off that feature using the about:config page.
In the address bar, type or paste '''about:config''' and tap the Enter/Return key.
I suggest bookmarking this for easier future access.
In the search box, type or paste '''formf''' and tap the Enter/Return key.
Scroll down to '''browser.formfill.enable''' and tap the Toggle button to switch it from true to false.
That's it. Does it work on Facebook?
''The about:config preferences editor in the mobile version is similar in principle to the desktop version but many of the preferences available on the desktop version have no effect in mobile. This one I only tested on one site, but it seems to work.''

    How do I save and import my bookmarks from another hard drive? When I try to open the installed Firefox on the old drive, it (obviously) opens a browser from the new main drive, free of bookmarks. Is there a way I can save the bookmarks on the old drive without opening a browser?
    The guts of my computer were rearranged and I got a new main hard drive. My old one is still in there and I can get stuff from it, but when I go to the Mozilla folder on the old one, I can't figure out if there's anything I can do to get all my bookmarks from that drive to my new one, where Firefox is newly installed.

    If you open Firefox then Firefox will always use the default profile folder as found via profiles.ini on your system drive.
    You either need to import the file in your current default profile or copy the file to your current profile folder while Firefox is closed.
    Firefox 3 stores the bookmarks and the browser history in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/places.sqlite places.sqlite] and no longer creates an HTML backup by default.
    There are also (five) JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder.
    You can either copy the file places.sqlite to your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] or import the most recent JSON backup from the bookmarkbackups folder of that old profile.

    "Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders".
    You may want to un-check the box "Hide extensions for known file types" to see the file extensions of all files.

  • How can I stop the X509Anchors password box from popping up?

    I was messing around with some certificates trying to get Office Communicator to work on my Mac here at work.
    Ever since then the keychain dialog box continually pops up asking for my X509Anchors password. I know the password, my problem is that this dialog box continually pops up. CalendarAgent is the main app that keeps trying to access it, though others do occasionally as well.
    These are the steps I used to access the X509Anchors keychain and change certs:
    http://www.aikidokatech.com/?p=42
    How can I stop this dialog box from popping up asking for my password every 2 minutes?
    I'm currently on OS 10.8.2

    That entry in your keychain may be damaged. In the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, launch Keychain Access. At the left, the upper item selected should be login, and the lower on Passwords. At the right, locate (if it's obviously named), the item for X509Anchors and remove it. Close Keychain Access. Then next time you visit the site this is for, it will ask for your login information as if it were your first visit. Enter your info and a new keychain link will be created.

  • How do I stop the Google Search Box from opening and scrolling down when I use the PGDN key?

    On My Home Page (Earthlink) - when I use the PGDN (or the down arrow) key to navigate - the google search box opens and scrolls down through recent searches. I really want to just scroll down the home page as I did in the past.
    How do I fix?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
    Thank you.

  • HT4101 How do I import photos to my iPad from a Nikon s10.  When I try, I get the message not enough power

    How do I import photos to my iPad from a Nikon s10?

    Does the Nikon use a SD card? if so, have you tried to simply pull the photos from the card?
    If not, is your camera on when you try to transfer the files?
    There may also be some settings on the camera to tweak.

  • How do I stop a weird dialogue box from popping up whenever there is a youtube video embedded on a page?

    Since upgrading to 10.10.3, I keep getting a dialogue box that asks me to choose an application or search the app store for some purportedly missing app to open whatever video is embedded on that page.  I can just click "cancel" to skip through it, but it really slows me down and is annoyingly unnecessary since videos continue to play in a normal fashion when I click on them.  I've tried uninstalling and trashing the components of Flash, but the dialogue boxes continue.  And I've also tried downloading and installing the latest version of Flash to see if that was the problem, but no success.  Anybody else experiencing this?  Clearly this was introduced by the latest OS X software upgrade, because this did not occur before that.

    I don't understand why I (not a power user) should have to go through this whole rigamarole since Apple is apparently the culprit in introducing this problem to my system, due to the upgrade to 10.10.3, but here it is:
    Problem description:
    Since upgrading to 10.10.3, I’m getting pop-up dialogue boxes on pages with embedded videos telling me that the app I need to view the video is missing and that I should search the MacApp store to find what I need (which is actually nothing at all).  I have to click cancel to continue and the videos can be viewed as normally.  This only started with the latest Mac version of OS X, and I blame the problem on Apple, which has apparently introduced some error into my system.

    I finally got he ipad to sycn photos from computer to ipad- however when I try to download a new album- the old one is deleted and replaced on the ipad- how do I avoid this ?

    You can sync multiple folders to the iPad, as long as they are under the same parent folder on your computer so that you can then select and sync them to the iPad together in one go, as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - each folder will get it's own album on the iPad. Not including them in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad (as you've found out).

  • When I try to load ABC news I get the error message that says Firefox stopped this page from loading. Do you want to allow it? Of course I do, or I would not have gone there. It does not do this onother pages. How do I make it stop?

    It consistently does this when I try to read ABC news and when I try to go to my bank's web site. I am getting real tired of this. This message will pop up over and over even after clicking allow. How do I shut this off it is really annoying.
