I have firefox 5 yet it doesn't have the do not track checkbox under options, advanced, general

Under browsing in the general tab, I have check spelling as I type but no do not track option. How come? I want this feature. And my about firefox says that I have 5.0. What's up with this? Thank for your assistance.

Do not expect too much from that setting. Is only makes Firefox send a DNT=1 response to the server via the HTTP headers.

  • I have firefox 4.0b12. I have no feedback tab on my taskbar.

    I have firefox 4.0b12. I have no feedback tab on my taskbar and no "organize booksmarks" on by bookmarks menu. I have to go to firefox 3.6 to organize my bookmarks.

    Do you still have the Feedback extension installed (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) ?
    If not then reinstall the "Test Pilot" extension:

  • Why can't you just fix firefox so it doesn't have all these pop up msgs like a script has stopped or my mouse just freezes up and geesh, I started using google

    So many times i get this in the title bar "not responding", avg pops up and say's there is a of memory being used like 270mb by facebook, i use pop up blockers, do not track me add ons anything to speed page loading, I repeatedly get different script msg pop ups, it's angering me so much just trying to surf facebook! If i click on a link, to go off of facecbook to read an article it takes for ever for all the crap to load banner adds or what have you that I don't know what to do, then I goto your help section and its like geesh I have to be a IT dude to figure all this out. I gave up IE many years ago because of security reasons, came to firefox and loved it, but anymore its a battle. Can someone there make a easy way to fix all this crap? Thank You

    Click the Firefox button on the top left and click Add-ons. ...
    Search for an ad-blocking add-on, such as Adblock Plus. It does a great job of removing the annoyances from your Web browsing, and it comes with absolutely no configuration needed to begin working.
    ok

  • I have Firefox 13.0. I have the homepage with the icons such as history, but I do not have the updated tabs.How do I get the updated tabs? Thanks.

    I have just updated to Firefox 13.0. I have the AVG Secure Search on my browser or whatever it is that is where the search engines and refresh, and bookmarks icons are located. Even though on my add ons page it says it is disabled. But obviously it isn't because it still works. I have removed AVG Secure Search from the list of search engines in the drop down list in the search bar, but this did not solve the problem with my tabs. The Firefox website says that my Firefox is up to date, but if it is up to date why do I still have the same old tab page when I open a new tab? When I click on the plus sign to get a new tab, it takes me to about:Tabs and says on the screen "You've opened a new tab." Then it has a search bar and a button next to it that says "Web Search!" Then it goes on to say "With Tabs You Can..." So, how do I change my current tabs to the updated Firefox tabs with icons of the my recent tabs and websites I regularly visit. Also can you please provide detailed step by step ways to solve this problem. Thanks.

    You only see items on the about:newtab page if the history is enabled and the browsing cache is working (stores thumbnails).
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Viewing_the_browsing_history_-_Firefox
    You can check the current cache usage on the about:cache page and in Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage.

  • Can you have Firefox and IE browsers both at the same time and if so, do you have the choice of choosing one for a default browser?

    I am using IE Explorer now presently. I want to be able to download and install the SEO Blogger tool from Wordtracker but it says that I have to have Firefox as the browser. Since I have everything else already set up under IE, I don't want to have to change all that just so I can download one program.
    Can you help?
    Thanks,
    David Craig

    You can have both browsers installed and running at the same time. You can also choose what one to have as the default browser.

  • My APPS application shows an update is available yet it doesn't show the APP. What's going on?

    My APPS application shows I have updates available yet when I view it, it doesn't show the APP. I have to download it from iTunes to my Phone. What is going on?

    If you have two apple IDs then try logging in with the other ID.  Apps are locked to the ID that was used to download then in the first place

  • How do I disable the Do-Not-Track header? Firefox preference is not working.

    The "Do not tell anything about my tracking preferences" option is not working. As it always sends the "DNT:1" header no matter what option. I am using Firefox 23. I am aware of Bugzilla 803898. I would like an immediate solution if possible until this is fixed.
    I am having issues with some private sites that just terminates the connection whenever the DNT header is passed. In the end, I am using IE for these sites, I preferably wish not to do so.
    I tried using extensions to filter out the DNT header but it seem to be applied at the end of everything. This is an amazingly stupid error I just cannot find a solution to.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Do both these prefs have their default value?
    *privacy.donottrackheader.enabled (false)
    *privacy.donottrackheader.value (1)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    The first being false should make Firefox not send the DNT header.

  • Yahoo is my homepage, when I downloaded Firefox 4 my email was on the right in place of page options and I liked it better, but now it has gone back to the old way on the left, why is this

    Yahoo is my homepage, I have been using Firefox for years but when I downloaded Firefox 4 my yahoo email was on the right in place of page options and I liked it better, it was there for a while but now it has gone back to the old way on the left, why is this

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • Firefox 4 doesn't allow me to scroll the page even though I have autoscrolling and smooth scrolling ticked in Tools Options Advanced:General. Can this be fixed?

    After updating Firefox to Firefox 4 I cannot use my page scrolling in the browser. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad and use my Trackerpoint for scrolling. All other applications work fine with the Trackerpoint. Can someone fix this or tell me what I need to do to enable scrolling?

  • My Firefox 5.0 doesn't have the new orange Firefox drop down menu (on the top left)

    I just upgraded to 5.0 and the new drop down menu that's supposed to be on the top left side isn't there. Do I have to enable it or is something else wrong?

    You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar via View > Toolbars, also accessible via Firefox > Options.<br />
    If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
    You can place the Tab Bar on top.
    * View > Toolbars : [ ] Menu Bar
    * View > Toolbars : [X] Tabs on Top

    , downloaded firefox and it will not allow me to watch video library which i need for training... it says install plug- ins......What did I do wrong? I did not have this problem with my other Mac.......

    Sorry, Flash for Android is not yet compatible with Firefox for Android. We hope to work with Adobe to fix this in a future release.
    You can play some YouTube videos by enabling YouTube's HTML5 beta. Only videos available in the WebM or Theora formats will play in Firefox for Android: http://youtube.com/html5

  • How can I find the serial number from CS4 for my mac? I remembered it being on the box, but now I can't find it, and they website I thought to have registered it to doesn't recognize the e-mail I would have used then I got it.

    I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but the website recommend I ask here. I bought the CS4 when I bought my macbook pro in when I was in college. I remember there being 2 serial numbers, so I could install to one other computer. That macbook pro finally died, and now I have a new mac which I am trying to re-install the creative suite on, only I can't find the serial number.  The two stickers on the back of the CS4 box (which i thought were the serial numbers) don't look like that they're asking for, and the website listed on the inside of the box for me to register to doesn't recognize my e-mail (which hasn't changed since buying CS4).  Any idea where I could find the serial number?

    To locate the serial number:

    Hello andytuveson, right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip and uncheck Menu Bar in the pop-up menu.

  • I have Firefox set to check for updates but do not install, just notify. WHen I start Yahoo email, F automatically downloads and updates anyway.

    I have FF set to check for but do not install updates. When I start yahoo email, FF automatically instals updates. I am only user/administartor. How do I make this stop? It is messing up other programs - destroyed my Norton security.

    Usually, the "notify" setting works fine. I don't know whether having Yahoo as the home page makes a difference. ??
    Updates are available for your Norton add-ons. Please see this article: [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Toolbar-Norton-Identity/Firefox-15-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/791174 Firefox 15 Support for Norton Toolbar - Norton Community].
    (Firefox probably can't find those automatically because the updates arrive through Norton LiveUpdate instead of the Mozilla add-ons site.)
