Removing firefox proxy settings does not work until a restart?

When I transfer from my work network (with a proxy server) to my home network (no server), I have to restart the browser before it realizes that there is no proxy server that it has to authenticate with. Until I do this, (re)loading pages gives me an error.
However, when going the other way, it smoothly recognises that there is a server, and no restart is required to continue browsing
I have automatic proxy settings enabled. I have tried selecting 'no proxy server', but I still need to restart firefox for this to work.

Please update to the current Firefox 22.0 release.

Bypassing proxy settings does not work

I can't manage to get my Mac to bypass the proxy settings. My bypass settings are:
*.local, 169.254.0.0/16, localhost, 193.230/16, 192.168.0.0/24, 172.16.6.0/24
With these settings if I try to access 172.16.6.120, the server does not respond.
However if my settings look like this:
*.local, 169.254.0.0/16, localhost, 193.230/16, 192.168.0.0/24, 172.16.6.0/24, 192.168.0.252, 172.16.6.120, 172.16.6.130
I can access that IP address with no problems.
I also tried: *.local, 169.254.0.0/16, localhost, 193.230.0.0/16, 192.168.0.0/24, 172.16.6.0/24 and *.local, 169.254.0.0/16, localhost, 193.230/16, 192.168.0.0/24, 172.16.6.* with no success.
Can you please help?

How do open files in the "downloads" directory of Firefox (right clicking does not work)?

In the toobar settings and I have it set to download files and programs on to my desktop-it does not. Instead all downloads go the "downloads" file and when I attempt to open these programs or files with a right-click or any other technique-it does not work.
If at all possible, please call me to resolve this issue at (714) 392-2280. Thanks.

Hi Milesb,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. The [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes] Knowledge base article will help.
You might also want to take a look at [[Preferences are not saved]].
Hopefully this helps!

Top/Left Back Button in Settings does not work

When opening the Settings, it will present "navigate up" enabled. That is the wedge on the top/left next to the Firefox Icon in the Action Bar. ("actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true)")
However, it does not work. Please implement the back-behavior as shown here:

Proxy Settings still not working with new 3.1

The new 3.1 of Safari for Windows still does not work properly with proxies (PAC files) with regards to using current logged on User Credentials when a Proxy requires authentication. Anyone have similar issues?

3.18.8 @ 3:58PM NOPE NOT FIXED...
MY browser is still crashing when trying to go to secure websites behind a corporate firewall (specific ISA 2006)
The problem is with the way Sfari Handles Secure website request
Firefox works because it uses its own module.
----"First of all I'm running Safari on my Leopard
This computer is on a corporate network behind ISA Server 2006
I'm able to Authenticate to go to the internet but when I try to go to a secure website (example https://www.bankofamerica.com )My browser Crashes.
I was expecting the new release of Safari to fix this but I'm still having the same issue.
Looks like the problem is the way this browser handles secure connection requests from behind a corporate firewall.
Any one has a clue how to fix this?
I havent been able to find any acceptable fixes for this problem (with exception of running a proxy server on this computer such as squid)
Thanks ..

JRE System-level settings does not work - JRE1.6.30

Good day,
I need to set deployment.security.mixcode parameter to "DISABLE" within of deployment.properties configuration file.
Also I wish to place the deployment.properties configuration file is not user-specific path. The default location is
<User Application Data Folder>\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties.
TO change the default location I read about possibility to use the deployment.config for specifying the System-Level

Unfortunatelly seems does not work. Someone have got experience about system level settings of deployment.properties?
This is the configuration I have used.

file\:C:/Program Files/Java/jre6/lib/deployment.propertiesI believe that the file is interpreted as a properties file, which means the colon and slashes need to be escaped. This would be it if you want to use a proper Windows path:

Command to set firefox as default does not work

After setting chrome as my default browser, I want to set Firefox as my default browser from the command line on windows.
According to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser I ran
firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser
But that does not work. Chrome stays as the default browser. Setting FF as the default from the FF dialog (asking to set as default) works but I want to do it from the commandline.

We have a support article on that: [[Make Firefox the default browser on Android]]. When trying to determine the current default browser app, I think Samsung's is called "Internet".

How do I set Firefox 10.0.2 to be default browser in Windows 7, using a script or setup switch. "Firefox.exe -setDefaultBrowser" does NOT work.

I want to set Firefox as default browser for all my users.
I can do this by opening Firefox and go to Tools --> Options --> Advanced and hit the "Check now" button. That works fine, but I need to accomplish this automatically.
Running setup with the -setDefaultBrowser switch does NOT work. Running "firefox.exe -silent -SetDefaultBrowser" after setup does NOT work.
Is this even possible? Or are we stuck with IE?

Thank you for your reply, however it really does not work for me.
I have Firefox installed, as well as Internet Explorer 9. If I check "Default Programs --> Set Default Programs" in Windows 7 it states that Internet Explorer is default.
If I create a shortcut on my desktop that points to "www.mozilla.org" for example, and double-click that shortcut, it will open in Internet Explorer.
I now run "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser" with administrative privileges.
I look again in "Default programs" and i still says IE is default browser. If I click on my shortcut it still opens in IE.
If I change the setting manually from within Firefox it works fine.
Please help, I really can't make this work.

"When Firefox starts" settings do not work?

In Firefox: "Tools" "Options" "General" "When Firefox starts" "Show my windows and tabs from last time" does not work. Every time I close Firefox and re-open (even after a re-boot) Firefox opens in the defined Homepage (http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/). I have tried altering the setting then re-setting it but always the same.
In Version 3.6.12 I never had a problem. Is there something I can do?

This problem occurs on the Juno webmail site?
I assume you are doing something different than just correcting the squiggly red underlined words. How are you spell-checking the email: using an add-on or using a feature of the Juno webmail site? If it's an add-on, which one is it?

My Time Capsule has stopped working. Restoring default settings does not work.

I have a 2TB Time Capsule (Model No. A1409). I think that it is approximately 20 months old. It has been working very well until around two months ago, when it began to display the flashing amber light. At that time I performed a hard reset, restoring the default settings. This worked and the capsule continued backing up perfectly for a further three weeks. However, about three weeks back the flashing amber light returned. As I have been busy elsewhere I was not able to attend to this untl recently. It does not seem to matter how many times I reset the device, I cannot return it to a working state.
The capsule has previously been set up to connect to the internet through my existing broadband service. As such, it was initially set up and subsequently restored wirelessly. I no longer seem to be able to achieve this. Has anybody else experienced similar difficulties and if so, were you able to remedy it.
Grateful for any advice. I feel another trip to the Genius Bar coming on.

Yeah absolutely - no problem.
I had the same thing happen where I did a restore on my personal TimeCapsule (TC),
and when I updated the device after installing it, it for some reason set the TC into bridged mode shutting off DHCP/NAT service.
Which means, that it doesn't reserve an IP for any client trying to attach. This is what it sounds like yours is doing.
So if you see that it says bridged, and that box with dhcp reservation is greyed out, change it from bridged to DHCP/NAT.
This will allow any client (computer/device) to attach and reserve an IP address for access to the internet.
Once that is set, and you update, hopefully the light should go green.
I would also recommend checking the "internet" tab, and making sure that your IP address is assigned using DHCP. (It probably is - but that part is essential for communication with your Internet Service Provider (ISP)...
SO - if the device goes green after the update:
If it does, then go back into the router and click on the wireless tab and confirm your wireless settings are correct, if any changes are made, update.
At that point, you should be able unplug your laptop to wirelessly connect to the router.

Search does not work until you open folder

I tried to search for a keyword on drive F (all pictures). I had the correct drive in the "look in" box, and had the boxes checked for "search indexed and non-indexed files". I got the dreaded "No Items to display" on the screen.
I then opened the folder where I knew the file was, closed it and went back to the original site and ran the scan without changing any settings. This time the files came up for just the folder I had opened. I knew there were other folders that contained the same keyword, but I had to open each folder I wanted the scan to work on. What a needless time consuming pain!
Can anyone tell me why it does not search the folders until I open them? I thought that "search non-indexed files" would take care of that problem and search all files in the directory specified.
One suspicion is that when it searches it does not show the progress box of files being indexed or searched. It is blank until the results, which takes less than 14 seconds. It may not be searching all non-indexed files. Any ideas?

Yes, I think you may have found your issue there – try deactivating, uninstall RH and reinstall.
