I lose half my saved usernames everytime Firefox closes and they are always the same ones!

The saved usernames that disappear are all of the "https" type.
Firefox is not even asking me if I want to save the username and password.

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox? 
If the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"

When I close firefox, there are two annoying window underneath that I always have to close and they are always there again next time; how do I get rid of them for good?

When I close Firefox, there are two underlying windows that I have to close every time. How do I get rid of them for good and prevent this from continuing to happen. Both windows were opened by me during viewing at some point, so they did originate from me.
Thanks for any help you can give me!

I would like to get rid of firefox 4 and go back to the older one, how do I do this

I would like to get rid of firefox 4 its a nuisance and go back to the old one how do I do this

It's helpful to give more specific feedback if you can.
Here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information] (copy your whole profile folder).
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 4, and uninstall it. Do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Then finally you can reinstall Firefox 3.6. Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, it should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

Can I copy my bookmarks from Safari to Firefox if they are on the same computer?

I would like to use Firefox and I want to '''copy''' the bookmarks I have in Safari. I have a Mac with OS10.6 and both Safari and Firefox are on the same computer. I want to know if Firefox is more friendly since I do a lot of writing.

You should update to Firefox 6.0.1 through Help > About > Check for updates
before testing rather than be disappointed with a Firefox update after testing.
All browsers can use the Netscape bookmarks formatted HTML file to copy bookmarks. But according to documentation you can import directly from Safari. Hopefully that applies to your Mac, because it is not shown as an option for me on Windows 7.
'''Import bookmarks''' - MozillaZine Knowledge Base
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks#From_Safari
"'''Firefox imports Safari settings automatically'''. Just go to File > Import... and select Safari. In the next window, check the boxes of what you want to import. For example, your Safari Bookmarks will appear in Firefox's Bookmarks menu as "From Safari." Whatever other bookmarks you had on your Safari Bookmarks Bar will automatically appear on your Firefox Bookmarks Bar, too. "
If that does not work:
:'''Exporting Bookmarks from Safari:''' (from Safari Help)
# Choose File > Export Bookmarks.
# Specify a location for the exported file. The file's name will be "Safari bookmarks.html." Most browsers are able to import this type of file.
'''Importing Bookmarks into Firefox:'''
#"Command+Shift+B" to bring up Bookmarks Library List, can be done from Bookmarks menu > "Show all bookmarks"
# "Import and Backup" menu > Import HTML > From an HTML file
#: (unless you see From Safari)
Firefox uses the same keyboard shortcut to display menus as used on Safari (on a PC it is the "Alt" key).
Firefox is highly customizable, so you can change the appearance, and a lot of what would be done in other browsers must be done using extensions in Firefox, but the extensions for the "same" feature probably give you a lot more functionality and control. In the following making Firefox look more like 3.6 would be of interest if you are used to other older browsers -- Safari grew up independently so other browsers are more alike.
You can make '''Firefox 6.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional. (later on)
'''Keyboard Shortcuts:'''
* Firefox Support Home Page | Firefox Help Adapts to your system, but a very limited number of shortcuts are shown https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts
* Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table) Long list of shortcuts but Windows oriented, most other systems use similar http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm

Firefox crashes everytime I close a tab; the internet said it was a Norton Antivirus issue, but I contacted Norton and they are not the issue.

Every time I close a tab, Firefox crashes. These forums hinted that it was a Norton issue (and that it had been solved) so I contacted Norton. Spent 2 hrs on support with them, including them remotely controlling my computer. Norton is 100% updated, and the crashes happened EVEN WHEN WE DISABLED NORTON. So, it is NOT a Norton issue. What can I do? This is very frustrating and makes it impossible to continue to use Firefox.

hello, these crashes are the same norton issue that was written about in the forums during the last few weeks (the norton component coffplgn.dll is causing the crashes) - according to symantec the cause fro the crashes wasn't fixed in its 2012 product line: https://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Toolbar-Norton-Identity/Firefox-18-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/m-p/900991/highlight/true#M8266
so you might want to disable all norton addons in firefox > addons > extensions or upgrade to norton 2013...

Saving a recording in memory and in disk at the same time.

Hi, I record audio and a I want to save it in memory,then when the user presses a stop button I have to save the audio that is in buffer to a directory file. So far I to the first part that is save in memory. Here is some code I use:
{color:#0000ff}
class {color:#000000}recording{color} extends {color:#000000}Thread{color}*{*
* boolean {color:#339966}suspended{color};*
* public void* {color:#000000}run{color}*(){*
* try{*
* while*{color:#000000}(!{color}{color:#339966}*suspended*{color}{color}{color:#000000})
{color} File *{color:#339966}file{color}*={color:#0000ff}*new*{color} File*{color:#ff9900}("C:/prueba.wav"{color}*);
ByteArrayOutputStream {color:#339966}*dataCapturada*{color}={color:#0000ff}*new*{color} ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte *{color:#339966}bufferTemporal{color}*[]={color:#0000ff}*new* {color}byte[10000];
{color:#0000ff} int {color}numbytesleidos=*{color:#339966}targetDataLine{color}*.read(*{color:#339966}bufferTemporal,{color}*0,{color:#339966}*bufferTemporal.length*{color});
datacapturada.write*{color:#339966}(bufferTemporal{color}*,0,{color:#339966}*numbytesleidos*{color});
}{color:#0000ff}*catch*{color}(Exception e){e.printStackTrace()}
So far,this works perfectly, but i put this line of code to save in directory file after the line:datacapturada.write....
AudioSyste.write(*{color:#0000ff}new{color}* AudioInputStream({color:#339966}*targetDataLine),*{color}AudioFileFormat.Type.*{color:#339966}WAVE{color}*,*{color:#339966}file{color}*);
It saves file in the directory file,but doesnt save in memory. Why could this be??

Ok sorry, as you had seem in other forums, meaning JMF,I decided to record from microphone in WAVE format. This is done, but I also have to show the volume in a progress bar. So I take and example and it works, but this method that calculate volume needs an array of bytes, that is the array that I use for record in memory.So record in memory and show a progress bar volume works, but I also have to save in directory file. My idea is to save in memory and save in file directory at the same time, or save in memory and then when I press a stop button transfer the data saved in memory to the directory file.Here is all the code,assume that all declarations have been done:
public void capturarAudio() {
       try {
            formatoAudio = obtenerFormatoAudio();
            DataLine.Info lineaDataInfo = new DataLine.Info(TargetDataLine.class,formatoAudio);
            linea = (TargetDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(lineaDataInfo);
            linea.open(formatoAudio);
            linea.start();
            Thread hiloGrabacion=new Thread(new hiloGrabacion());
            hiloGrabacion.start();
       } catch (LineUnavailableException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(InformDetail.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
class hiloGrabacion extends Thread{
        byte bufferTemporal[] = new byte[10000];
        File archivo=new File("C:/Documents and Settings/java/multimedia/audio.wav");
        @Override
        public void run(){
            dataCapturada     = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            detenerGrabacion = false;
            try{
                while(!detenerGrabacion){
                    int numBytesLeidos=linea.read(bufferTemporal,0 , bufferTemporal.length);
                    if(numBytesLeidos>0){
                        dataCapturada.write(bufferTemporal, 0, numBytesLeidos);
                        mostrarVolumen(bufferTemporal,0,numBytesLeidos);
                        lblCronometro.setText(linea.getMicrosecondPosition()/1000000+"");
                AudioSystem.write(new AudioInputStream(linea), AudioFileFormat.Type.WAVE, archivo);
                dataCapturada.close();
            }catch(Exception e){
                e.printStackTrace();
    }

Firefox 4 does not load the modules in the Netvibes website. I've checked it on 5 pc's and all are encounting the same issue.

We utilize Netvibes at work and the modules which are like snipets of webpages do not load with Firefox 4, so we are stuck with Firefox 3.6.8, dues to after this verstion, Netvibes does not work on any further updated versions or Firefox 4.

Hi Josh,
Thanks for taking the time to contact us here a Novation for technical support. Lets continue to correspond via email so we can get your issue resolved.
Thanks.

Switched from IE8 today and can no longer print Fed Ex shipping labels. Fed Ex help desk says its a Firefox problem and they are unaware of a fix.

We used IE 8 at work, with a Vista 32bit O/S. We switched to Firefox today, and can no longer print using our Fed Ex shipping printer, through FedEx.com. If we switch back to IE8, we can print labels.

Does the label appear in File > Print Preview, and it just won't print? 
Do you have the correct size "paper" selected thru Properties for that printer when viewed thru Firefox? 
See if anything here helps: 
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages
If that doesn't help you, I don't know what else to recommend. Without being able to login to FedEx and without access to their printer, there isn't anything I can do to see what the problem with Firefox and their printer might be.
IMO, FedEX should either tell you that their printer software is made to work to IE only or not. Considering that they are a worldwide company and that Firefox has like a 30% worldwide market share, they might be disappointing like 30% of their customers with vague help responses like that. Plus, IE is for Windows OS's, what are their customers running Mac OSX or Linux supposed to do if it doesn't work in Firefox?

Firefox is failing to display many (but not all) images on websites that I visit, some images are shown and some are not even if they are in the same format.

I recently changed my ISP because I was having connectivity issues. In particular my router would shut down sporadically. As part of my attempt to clear issues I ran some spyware software which I've been told I could trust. Since then I have a problem viewing many websites as many (but not all) of the images are missing, even on websites that I know very well, including my own. What is very strange is that on one site every page has a jpg image under the navigation bar and all of these jpg's appear except one which doesn't appear even when I reload images. This problem also makes security sensitive sites like my bank site look very amateur which frightens me. The problem does not occur on other web browsers.

Which ''spyware software'' software did you run?
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Windows Accessibility settings.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Website_colors_are_wrong
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Websites_look_wrong
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

Since updating to v17, I'm getting syntax errors on every site I go to. 2 windows everytime. ok twice and they are gone.

This is the 1st small window that comes up "evalInSandbox:SyntaxError: syntax error"
I click "OK" then the next window comes up "syntax error". I click "ok" and it goes away until I go to another web page.

Sorry I didn't get back in here. "Social Fixer" was the problem. I ungraded it and the problem went away. Thanks for responding Kiraela.

Everytime I close and reopen firefox, my themes and add-ons are gone and I need to re-install them.

To be more specific, my chosen custom theme will be deleted, buttons for add-ons such as "white on black" will have to be added again, and settings such as the preference to save downloads on my desktop instead of a "Downloads" folder will be reset to the latter.
Also, when I reopen the browser, I get the Firefox Start Page, as I have specified, but I also get other tabs such as the homepages for greasemonkey and userstyles.org.
Please do help me if you can, I need a solution. I choose a theme that changes the entire skin to black because I work on the PC for long hours, and I need dark colours to help my eyes cope with the stress. It's going to be a massive strain if I have to re-install the theme everytime I close and reopen the browser.

I've tried that, but the problem persists.

I d/l your mozilla firefox today and now I get the error 0x80070002 all the time...how do I fix that?

I downloaded mozilla firefox today and now I get the error 0x80070002 all the time, and I cannot use system restore because of it. How do I fix that so that my computer works right again. I was restoring because after I d/l your mozilla today, I lost all of my contacts in my msn email...just been tearing my hair out over this and it is soo darn frustrating. Tell me how to fix this. Marilyn

Hi,
The error is totally unrelated to Firefox. Please see [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336 this]. The [http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us Windows OS forum] will also be helpful.
Please also check the downloaded file by right-clicking > Properties > Digital Signatures, which should say '''Mozilla Corporation''' and '''This digital signature is ok''' in '''Details'''. You can download Firefox from a known site like e.g. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
You can try to Reset Firefox which would hopefully display the missing features, all (contacts, emails, settings etc.) of which are actually stored at the MSN site and are temporarily displayed by Firefox every time the site is accessed.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

I have been editing my films and spent hours fixing the audio levels. Everytime I close and re-open final cut audio levels go back down.

I have been busy editing my film and for the third time now, i have been correcting my audio levels with each clip - this takes me hours - and everytime I go back to the project, the audio levels fall back down. So everything i did previously was a waste of time.
Does anyone have the same issue? Is there anything I am doing wrong here?

Gosh, that sounds aweful close to the same problem people are experiencing with the undo bug. They don't know their having a problme until they hit Command+Z to undo their last change, and they can't, the undo command is actually grayed out in the menu. I understand if this happens, X is not auto saving your changes either. So, the next time you make all of your changes, check to see if your undo command is grayed out from the menu. If it is, duplicate your project to force a manual save. Then Quit X and reopen it and insure you project is intact.

I don't know what happened. All of a sudden, my settings have been changed, my homepage, and EVERYTHING. No matter how many times I go in and change them again, the SAME pages open up when I start FireFox and I am constantly being asked if I want Yahoo as my start page and default search engine. I click the box 'do not ask me again' and it comes up EVERY TIME. I change things like I don't want history remembered, and when I reload FireFox again, it's back to the way it was BEFORE. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I don't know why this is happening, or how to fix it. What do I do??

I do not want to download another virus program.. I do not believe it is a virus. I am running the full version of Norton 360 and it is doing a daily scan. I have Windows 7, 64 bit OS.
This is very irritating !! If I wanted Yahoo I would ask for it !

I lose half my saved usernames everytime Firefox closes and they are always the same ones!
