Just downloaded Firefox causes text of pages in all other programs to be exremely large and garish.

Firefox causes the text, icons, etc. of pages--including Firefox--to be very large and garish. The page is HUGE.

To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
*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)

    mac os lion/macbook pro
    firefox 7 won't start. tried renaming "places" , tried removing, downloading a new version, re-installing program.
    The program worked fine til yesterday. then froze.
    all my other programs seem to be working.

    I have the same problem getting into Mozilla. Occasionally it comes up when I click on it, but most times it does not. The hour glass stays on for a couple of seconds, then goes off.

  • When I download Firefox, it takes over my computer with a huge opening page, dominates all other programs, emails open in Firefox

    I used Firefox with Windows XP for a number of years. I have tried about 15 different things with an online expert; I don't remember all that we did. I did send a screen shot of the opening page to the expert.

    You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Just updated to 7 and now the scroll function on my touchpad on my laptop doesn't work in Firefox. It works fine on all other programs and the scroll works fine on my USB mouse. Is there any way to fix this?

    Using a relatively new Toshiba Satellite series laptop PC. Scrolling worked fine on whatever older version of Firefox I had (it's been a few months since the last time I updated before 7).

    I've followed the steps for Safe Mode and no success. I disabled all add-ons and still no change. The odd thing is, this started a few days after I downloaded the new version. It is quite aggravating!

  • I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

    Firefox 6.0 is the current version.
    Get what denoted in what properties link.
    You can get the version number in Help -> About Firefox,
    and in '''about:support''' typed into the Location bar, and you can use JavaScript to list the user agent -- javascript:navigator.userAgent
    I'm not aware of any version of Firefox from Fx 2 on up to Fx 6 where "AVG Safe" is not a problem. Crashes aren't the only failures caused.

  • Just downloaded Firefox 6.0 and have restarted 4 plus times, but it continues to hang while launching. I cannot open new windows, change any settings, or do anything but Force Quit. I'm on Mac OSX 10.5.8. How do I get past this hang?

    Long story short: Simply get CC for teams. At 500 bucks a year it's a steal and those 5 licenses in the base package (or was it 10 even?) cover all your computers, at least the 3 ones you mentioned. For system requirements refer to the individual product pages.

  • I just downloaded firefox onto my mac and it keeps asking me to add the same website.

    So i just downloaded firefox onto my computer and followed all the interactions to get it working. Well apparently i can't open any webiste because it keeps asking me to add the same website over and over again. it will even be the same "secure website", ill add it and nothing will happen expect it will keep asking me to add it. Ive tried fixing preferences but i don't understand why it's not working my other internet source is working just fine.

    What link, website? Firefox should not do that. Did you get FF from '''Mozilla.org?'''
    It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
    Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
    there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
    '''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''
    '''(Mac: Open the "Applications" folder)'''
    Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
    know what they are.

    i have just downloaded the latest update for Pages on my iPad and now it can no longer open up documents in iCloud and then just shuts down. What The.

    Before the reset quit Pages like this:
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.

  • I just downloaded firefox on my new computer. I cant find it.

    I have a new computer with 8.1. I am learning how to use it.
    I just downloaded Firefox and don't know where it is, or how to use it.
    Can you help?

    What program did you use? Start it, find and open the downloads
    window (on some programs; '''''Control J'''''. If the program is listed
    a right click may open a menu where you can find its location.
    Also, go back to the web site and select like you want to do a download,
    BUT at the window that tells you 'press to start', '''STOP!!''' Look at this window.
    does it say where the download is going? If so, open that folder and see
    if what you are looking for is there. Also, what is the file name of the
    download? Open Windows Explorer to C: (or where ever) and search
    for that file. This may take some time for large hard drives.

  • Just downloaded Firefox 4 on Windows Vista 32-bit and its not working at all.

    So I just downloaded Firefox 4 on Windows Vista 32-bit, and it's not working at all. I open up Firefox and there is not tab bar, and all the command buttons are repeated 3 times, and are on 3 different bars. This only happens with Firefox 4 and not Firefox 3.6.10. Also, when I go the menu bar and I try to click soething, nothing happens. I'm not sure why this is going on. Help anyone? Here is a link to a screenshot of my browser.
    http://img683.imageshack.us/i/firefox4y.jpg/

    I have this too, but doesn't even startup now? I downgraded to the previous version and all is OK. I also have a 64 bit version of Vista and it seems to work "a-OK" on that machine.
    Seems to me to be 32-bit issue.
    Editing this post:
    I just seen a possible answer...Do you have roboform installed (in the taskbar also)? If so, try disabling it or removing it and try to start again. I said above that I have 2 units and on the one (32-bit) I have Roboform installed and it crashes, but on the other one I don't...so go figure.
    According to the report I read, if you upgrade Roboform it should be OK, although I have not tested as of yet...I am still at work...
    Hope that helps...

  • I live in NZ and just downloaded firefox because this other program i need to download requires me to have firefox3 but when i click on the other program to download its not downloading so why is that.

    I live in NZ and just downloaded firefox which was successful because this other program i need to download requires firefox3 so when i clicked on this program to download now that i have firefox its not downloading so why is that.

    Yes, you need the latest version of Flash to work with Mavericks and Safari 7.x. I'm not sure why you can't view some of the videos on YouTube but not all and I don't know which, YouTube or Safari, is suggesting a 10.xxxx version.
    Can you copy and paste the specific URL of a video that you're having problems viewing? Then I could take a look on my end and see if I notice anything funny.

  • I just downloaded Firefox 5 and it said that my Yahoo toolbar will not work with it. Is this true? If so I will not use this new version and will switch to another browser if Firefox stops supporting the Yahoo toolbar. Thank you.

    I just downloaded Firefox 5 and it said that my Yahoo toolbar will not work with it. Is this true? If so I will not use this new version and will switch to another browser if Firefox stops supporting the Yahoo toolbar. Thank you.

    Add-ons contain a range of compatible Firefox versions, and Firefox honors the listed range by disabling the add-on if you are trying to run it on an unlisted version.
    I'm sure Yahoo! will update its toolbar eventually, but not every add-on maker supports beta versions of software.
