How to make firefox automatically go to suggested URL

I'm not sure if this is a setting or something cause by firefox updating.
when I start filling the address bar with the name of a site or URL it gives me suggestions from my history or something. When I click one of the suggestions the URL just sits in my address bar. In order to actually go to the web page I have to press enter. This is annoying. It used to go to the web page as soon as I clicked the suggested page. How do I make it do that again?
[edit] It will go to to some web pages as soon as I click the suggestion but most of the time the URL will just sit in my address bar waiting for further instruction.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

In windows 7, how to make firefox start automatically when I turn on the computer

In Windows 7, how to make Firefox start automatically when I turn on the computer. Note, I am asking how to do this with Windows 7, not xp, not vista.

You need to place a shortcut to open Firefox in the Start > Programs > Startup folder. 
That is basically the same in all Windows versions.

How to make Firefox open automatically a new, empty tab in each start, but keep last sessions?

How to make Firefox open automatically a new, empty tab in each start? (keep last sessions as well) It will be good, because Firefox wont load the previous sessions last watched tab after start straight away, but keep my previous sessions tab as well in the browser.

Hello,
You can change your home page settings to open a blank tab:
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > General
* Beside "Startup", change to "Show a blank tab"
* See the article [[Startup, home page and download settings]] for more information
To retrieve your previous browsing session, first make sure that you are not running in [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit|Private Browsing mode]]. When you start Firefox, to recover your previous session, you can go to:
* History (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]] > History) > Restore Previous Session
* Please see [[Restore previous session - Configure when Firefox shows your most recent tabs and windows]] for more information

How to make Firefox to never update that slow custom look since FF 29?

How to make Firefox to never update that slow custom look since FF 29? How to change windows installation and ubuntu installation so they never update after FF 28 witch was last normal speed normal browser?
Hello. I can easy remove on Windows FF 29 or FF 30 and its slower on fast computer. But its affected by millions of users. With FF 28 it was allways fast.
Why fast? I dont know but its SLOW Now any version after FF 28.
Since FF 29 FF loads and hangs very very slow each time loading, starting, or changing tabs. It is making problem for everyone and now everyone calls with help- "why computer is slow.. oh its FF? Chrome? Chrome was slow but now its not the slowest one?"
Very colorfull Example- one comp is 10" and its very very very very low specs. So it wont run at all.
Now on small comp we can try linux and FF BUT no matter what OS just couldnt get back with any plugins back normal speed. Since FF 29 its very very very slow and that needs to have a solution. Today came update and still unneded custom menu button and its slowness hasnt been removed (unnoticed) so it needs a fix so it works for people who are not just for browsing internet buying new computer and cant get any faster speed then Chrome since now theres no FF anymore.
SO- How to do that on Windows and Linux- installing FF 28 and making it never upgrade
OR even better- Making a package that already has this update disbled setting ON?
p.s. Should you first ask people how they like slow browsers before making fast one to a slow one?
p.p.s. i dont get how menu could be added by thouse who need it as an add-on ass allways and not presuring everyone who never touches any button.
p.p.p.s. your business was beeing neutral ngo making browser for people and not for making cloged systems so new computers could be sold by some company advice or infiltrated mole who will suggest such unneded feature as any other addons, but sticking it in for everyone.

Hello,
You can download version 28 from here:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/28.0/
Also, you'll have to disable auto updates to remain with version 28 by following the steps described in this support article:

How to make Firefox 4 locale follow the one set in Windows

I want to use Firefox 4 in a multi tennant environment. On each workstation users of different origine can log on. Ideally of course I'd like to have everybody use the system using his own language. I already found out how to make Firefox available in multiple languages, but at the moment that can only be set manually. I am looking for a way to make FF's locale follow Windows' locale. Anybody that can give me some pointers?
In case FF can't do this by automated I was hoping to find out where about:config stores it's settings (file / registry).

How to make Firefox the default browser for Hotmail

I recently uninstalled Safari because I want to use Firefox as my default browser. Previously when I click the Mail button in Windows Live Messenger, the mac would automatically open my hotmail in Safari. Now that I have uninstalled it, when I click on the Mail button, it opens up with TextEdit. How do I make it open with Firefox?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

OK I'll post there also but I'm aware of the preferences section in Safari... thing is, when I choose to make Firefox the default browser, it resets back to Safari when I turn off the computer and turn it back on. Everytime. And it does my head in
I heard of a program called More Internet that I heard could help slove the problem but I can't understand how to use it, nor is there any forum or any way to contact anyone who knows. It's driving me up the wall.
So I'm hoping there's another way that someone in the world knows.

How to make firefox scroll SMOOTH like safari

Hi,
Using the touchpad on my MBP, is there anyway to make firefox 2 scroll like Safari. I"ve installed ScrollWheel and configured it as best I could to use with my trackpad but it can't do near as good a job as Safari. Can anyone suggest anything?
B

as i predicted, the problem is only at your end, but your computer seems fair enough for browsing, mine could be considered the same, it really old - 2005, but with brand new motherboard:
CPU: AMD Phenom 2 cores @ 3.1ghz
GPU: ATI Radeon 3300 HD 512mb
HDD: 80GB ... thats how old it is...
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
my CD rom cant even read DVDs... so if i have to reinstall Windows 7 i have to buy a new DVD rom first :D
now i suggest you, if you insist on having the newest version of Firefox, consider trying some of these:
here are the Nightly (v7.0) build of Firefox, both x32 and x64, try installing the one that corresponds your system build type and see if you are having trouble with speeds
if that doesnt work and you still want to use the latest Firefox (5.0), then reintalling Windows 7 would be a good start, but on the other hand its not worth doing it just for just a browser, but the choise is yours
these are the steps i'd take
wish you best of luck and im afraid i cant help you anymore

How to make firefox render fonts as google-chrome does? (screenshot)

How do I make firefox render fonts as google chrome does as shown in screenshot? (Chrome below and firefox above)
Notice for instance the dash "/", "Explore", "Features" etc and the text at the bottom "added git_fixes".
I'm no expert but is it antialiasing that makes the difference? Cause it seems the font is the same, right?
.Xresources
Xft.dpi: 120
Xft.antialias: true
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.hintstyle: hintmedium
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xft.lcdfilter: lcdlight
~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf

I have ttf-win7-fonts installed, and also recently I've installed Infinality (haven't configured it, necessary?).
Advice appreciated.

well in firefox you can chose your font and then unclick the let sites chose there own fonts.
ya looking at your picture I do see the diff. but I do not have that pixelation in my firefox.
.Xresources has nothing to do with gtk
I do want to let sites choose their own fonts though.
When I look closely on my screenshot I wonder if it's even the same font though (the "3" looks very different).
Perhaps that's where the problem lies.
If I force firefox to use Arial, it looks good. If I set it to Helvetica which seems to be the font used, it looks like in the screenshot - pixelated.
$ fc-match helvetica
helvR12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz: "Helvetica" "Regular"
Seems it doesn't use truetype (helvetica.ttf?) as default font for helvetica - shouldn't it?

How to make Finder automatically go to the foremost open window?

I hope I'm explaining this clearly.
Suddenly, when I click on the Finder from the Dock, it does not go to the last open window. I have to go to the Windows menu and select it, or click and wait on the Finder icon in the dock for it to open. I usually have a lot of apps open so when I go to Finder it's to do some file management - and the extra step of having to bring the last open window to the forefront is annoying me!
Does anyone know how to make the Finder automatically come to the forefront (with the windows) from click in the Dock? I swear my mac always did that before but now it's stopped!

can anyone help me here?
