I upgraded Firefox to version 4 and lost up- and down- scroll functionality on my laptop.
Please advice how to restore scroll functionality

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.

I updated firefox to version 11 and lost all my bookmark folders and bookmarks, how do I restore them using timemachine?

I am using Mac OS X Lion. I use Firefox for my research and have numerous bookmarks organized in folders. All the bookmarks disappeared after I upgraded to version 11. I have tried looking for my profile as suggested in the forums and help documents but I cannot find it. I have Time Machine Backups of my entire system. Could someone please tell me which folders and/or files to restore to get my bookmarks back?

Which files (settings) do you want to restore?
Did you find the Firefox Profile Folder in the Time Machine?
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder and see the currently used location:

After I updated to the latest version, the scroll-function on my laptop-mousepad doesn't work in Firefox... Any tips?

The questions sais it all really... It just doesnt work - no matter what i do, the scroll function just doesnt work.
I remember this was the reason why i went back to the old version earlier - but now many sites require the latest version of FF...

Try to modify the pref ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled on the about:config page from the default value -1 to 0 or 1 to see if that makes the scroll pad work.
Close and restart Firefox after changing the pref.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

How do I utilize multiple instances of firefox utilizing different credentials, and retain full functionality.

Recently my company made some "in the name of security" changes. One of these was to give local IT two windows accounts, one for e-mail and day to day activities, and the other for when administrative privileged is required.
I have been using Firefox for years with out problems. I have made the tweaks for auto authentication to the domain as well as few others and everything has been working fine. Problem I am having is that now with my second credentials I have to have multiple browsers open so that the internal sites that require my privileged account authenticate properly. i have successfully gotten both Firefox (29.0.1) and Firefox portable (29.0.1) to run with my other credentials. (Love that -no-remote switch) My problem is any time something requires a plug-in YouTube(flash) The Firefox session started with my secondary (privileged) credentials starts displaying unresponsive script errors. This is a huge headache as several of my companies internal websites require both my secondary credentials, but they require flash as well?

The unresponsive script can be troubleshooted or prevented with this recommended add on mentioned in this knowledge base article [http://mzl.la/LOwPvg] However it is strange that when you access the youtube site the other windows that are authenticated seem to timeout? or do they just hang?
One way to narrow this down is to check what script is running in the web console tool found in the web developer menu. The warning will normally tell you what script is running and should give a hint. Other questions have mentioned it was this script: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/982169 questions/982169]
You can also try the new Firefox player being developed to play instead: [http://mozilla.github.io/shumway/] It would replace the default Flash player Youtube uses.
For further investigation if this still happens after trying shumway:
# What are the credentials being authenticated with? Both are windows accounts, however when visiting websites each authenticated windows account are logged in at the same time, how?
# Autoauthentication is implemented how?
#Multiple browsers? Does each browser only have one of the two authenticated accounts logged in?
Thank you for your posts!

After installing Lion, mouse up and down scrolling does not work

After installing Lion, scrolling with an Apple mouse up and down does not work. Horizontal scrolling does work.

Hi guys. First, check the scroll outside of Firefox. Is it working?
Second,
'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web link}
While you are in safe mode;
Type '''about:preferences'''<Enter> in the address bar
Select '''Advanced > General.'''
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
Then restart.

Viewing a folder as large icons with only up and down scrolling?

This is something that's been bothering me for a while and I just can't seem to find the answer.
If I open a folder, switch the view to "as Icons," and then make those icons larger, I'm forced to scroll through those icons by moving left/right and up/down. If there are a lot of files in this folder, it's quite a pain to do all that scrolling. Anyway I can change the view settings so I only have to scroll up and down?

Sort the Icons so that they fit the side to side dimension, any sort will work, by name is the obvious way.

Firefox updates - version 13 and up

Mozilla is pushing "silent updates" into future versions of Firefox. This can be disabled in the settings, but has anyone investigated how this might affect pacman's tracking of firefox if a user leaves it on?
Is this likely to be disabled on compile for the binaries in the repos?

Unless you're running firefox as root, 'silent updates' won't be able to, I believe.

Two add-ons update every time I open Firefox; same versions, over and over.

NoScript and Download Helper launch updates every time I open Firefox (latest ver). If I close browser, they launch again immediately.

Try this, remove both. Restart Firefox. Any problem? Now install '''one'''
add-on from its '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Mozilla Add-ons Web Page]'''.
Restart. Any problem? Now do the other add-on.
</blockquote>
Thanks, Fred. Tried that and tried it again, restarting between attempts. No dice. Firefox still wants to download both every time. I can even apply my license to Download Helper. It runs while Firefox is open, but tries to reinstall DLH next time I open Firefox.

My up and down arrows as well as page up and page down no longer work properly only when using firefox. Page up and down function more like the "home" and "end" keys as do the arrow keys.

Honestly I'm not sure if these began just after I updated FF to the current release, but it's been happening for at least 2 weeks. The arrow keys and page up and page down keys all work as if I'm pressing the 'home' and 'end' keys on my keyboard. This is only when using FF. Please contact me if you need more clarification. Thanks in advance!

Sounds that you have switched on caret browsing.

I have lost the up/down scroll bar on the side of the screen of iTunes

Suddenly the up/down bar on the right side of my iTunes screen is gone...I cannot scroll down through my music list. Any ideas?

You're welcome
Firefox 4 has two bookmark buttons with a star in the Customize window. 
One star button has a drop marker that open a Bookmark menu. 
The other star button without the drop marker opens the bookmarks in the sidebar. 
 
You can drag the Bookmarks menu button with the drop marker in the Customize window from the toolbar palette on a toolbar (e.g. Navigation Toolbar or Tab Bar or to the left side of the Bookmarks Menu Items). 
You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the menu bar is hidden. 
If the bookmarks toolbar is visible then the default bookmarks menu button will appear on the right hand side of the Bookmarks Toolbar as part of the Bookmarks Toolbar Items.

Mail Version 8.1 (1993) Page Up/Down Scrolling

Since upgrading to Yosemite I have had an "issue" with Mail when using the page up/down keys (or Fn up/down cursor keys) that causes the window to scroll a few lines beyond one screen. Am I alone? How do I fix this issue?

Hi John,
I recommend going through the following article and ensuring you have set up your email correctly within Mac Mail: http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/user-manual#!/site-settings/email-users/mac-mail-on-yosem ite. If you're still having issues, please refer to this article for instructions on how to troubleshoot: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/128/bc_1286.html

Everytime I close Firefox and then try to reopen it, it says that I am unable to do so as Firefox is already running (even though it's closed) and I have to restart my laptop all the time.

For about a week now when I have closed Firefox down then I try to reopen it the screen message states that Firefox is already running and I have to restart my laptop every time. This is becoming very frustrating and time-consuming.

I have the same problem on my notebook but I don't restart. Just do the control, alt, delete and bring up your task manager. Then scroll down to Firefox, end process and close. Now you should be able to restart FF. Not a fix but better than having to restart your laptop.

MY page up and down key does not what its suppose to do but now instead it goes forward or back a web page

Seems like since I installed the new Firefox my Page up and down key has stopped making my web pages go down or up but instead the page up key makes the web page go forward in history and the page down key makes it go back a webpage.

" Is there anyway the apple or my service provider can help me with this? "
No.
"What is the point of the app if it only works when the phone is on? "
The pont is to assist with locating a lost iphone.
"Then it is only usefull within those first couple of days."
Correct. How would any device be tracked if it had no power?
Very sorry for your situation, but there is nothing to do.
Report it to the police and change your passwords.

Scrolling the page using laptop trackpad not working in Firefox 4.

After I updated my firefox to version 4, I am not able to scroll from the laptop trackpad. Earlier it used to work fine.

Steve85 - you are correct. I found that too. But what an inconvenience. It never happened in 3.5. There must be some reason for this and a fix.

Scrolling up and down with ctrl + i and ctrl + k

I would like to set scrolling to ctrl + i and ctrl + j for up and down scroll respectively. Is there any way to customize these?

Ctrl+I (web console) and Ctrl+J (K?) are already used for different actions and it might not be possible to remap them in such a way that they will always work to scroll the page.
