(second time) Two questions - One is, Firefox will not sign me in completely and remember passweords., shown in details. Two- how to stop the loading animations

Since no one is replying, i have to try again
Deatails for number 1:
Firefox will not sign me in and remember my passwords at all. It first started on this site, New Jersey Online (NJ.com). I created an account there and Firefox will not log me in. That happened, January 3rd, 2012.
About NJ.com problem
I created an account there. Then I signed into my new account. I did get correct username and password. But the browser does not log me into the acount. I looked all around NJ.com for answer and my problem was not in the forums/blogs.
On Jan 4, 2012 - On the City Data forum I logged into my account there.
About the city data forum problem
I logged into my account there.
Firefox asked me if I want to remember this passwod, i said Yes. The box in city data forum has a remember be box I checked it.
The result means- I did not get signed in at all.
I tried multiple times, none worked.
I allowed firefox to do these things -
1. Remember browsing history for at lease one day
2. Remember download histroy.
3. Accept cookies from sites, including third party cookies, until their expiration
4. Clear the folowing when firefox closes: browsing history, download history, and form/search history.
I feel afraid this problem is gonna hsppen forever (and maybe even on this site!), and it will not sign me in to any site on the internet.
Number 2 Question
Any way to disable the loading animation in Firefox 3.6.15? it makes me forget what I was going to do. it's also shown in the addon update information. PLease help me disable the loading animation Everywhere in the Firefox browser.
For other sites with loading animations, I can use the Adblock plus element hiding helper . Just need to remove the animations by firefox
Please help me ASAP (as soon as possible), thank you!

See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Cannot+log+in+to+websites
Can't you sign in at all or aren't you signed in anymore if you revisit that website another time (next day)?

What do you mean with the ''loading animation''?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

Firefox will not open, try to reinstall and message states firefox must be closed before install can begin.

firefox will not open. when i try to reinstall firefox the process stops. the message tells me to close firefox before i can proceed. but firefox is not running.

Prez,
I too have had this problem a few times with several different versions of FF.
What you need to do is to open a window to Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) and on the 'Processes' tab look down the list for Firefox, highlight the entry, then click "End Process". Accept the warning that pops up. You should then be able to uninstall.

Firefox will not finish downloading because of a user pop up box comes up how do I finish downloading firefox

firefox will not finish downloading because of a pop up ask for a user name and password because it says some programs will be able to take with the new firefox download. How can I get around this to where I can finish the download for firefox?

You do not need the Yahoo Firefox version.
You can find all Firefox 5 versions here:

Firefox will not save my user name and password for one of my sites. How can I fix this problem. It is getting annoying having to reenter every time I check this site. Is there a solution.

I had my user name and password saved for my library site. My grandson hit something and now the saved user name and password are gone. It asks me every time to enter it and it is getting annoying. How do I fix this. I want Firefox to remember these codes.

You can create a bookmark with the JavaScript code via a right-click on the "Remember Password" link on the squarefree.com website and choose "Bookmark This Link" and select the "Bookmarks Toolbar" as the destination folder for easy access.
* https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password
You need to use the "Remember Password" bookmarklet before or after filling the name and password field on the website with the <u>login form</u>, but before submitting the login form by clicking a button on the web page.
If the site is using autocomplete="off" then you see a number not equal to 0 (i.e. attributes were removed) in the pop-up alert from the bookmarklet and Firefox should offer to remember the name and password via a drop down dialog of the key icon that will appear on the location bar (Firefox 4+) or via an info bar at the top (Firefox 3).

Two devices synced, but firefox will not show most tabs from other devices.

I have had my laptop and my PC synced forever. Up until a week ago when I clicked "tabs from other devices" it would show me all of my tabs from the other computer, and if I closed one or opened a new one it would show up in the list almost instantly. Now all of a sudden when I click show tabs from other devices it will only show one or two of the tabs I have open on the other computer and ignore all the rest. No matter what I do I can only get it to show like google and facebook. Everything is still synced properly, bookmarks and all that jazz work fine. It's just the show tabs from other devices that isn't working, and that's the only feature I care about. If your suggestion is to make a new sync profile, don't bother responding, as that is not the problem or the solution.

Hi tdkevin,
This is strange you were not asked to try the new sync. As the old sync has the tab sync feature, but the new one has a new place for them. In order to move to the new sync you have to remove all the devices from the old sync and then it will allow you to set up the new one.
In Firefox for Android
In the new one in a new tab, tap on History, then on the bottom there are two icons: a clock and one with 4 grey squares. Tap that one and look at the recently synced tabs.
In Firefox for Desktop
if you have not set up the new sync the Tabs will sync every interval of time set by default in the about:config page. (search for sync interval I think). In the new one the about:accounts page will have a manage button that will take you to the preferences of sync. There you can check the Tabs tick.
I hope this clears up the differences between the old and new. The original question though was why some tabs were syncing and others not. I do not know, we can look at about:sync-logs if you have any errors in those log files. This may help lead to some more info.

Firefox will not sync between home computer and laptop

I recently got a used laptop. after i cleaned it my first order of business was to install Firefox. I already use Firefox on my home computer and have been using the sync feature since it came out. I installed the newest version of Firefox onto both computers (33.1.1) and deleted my old sync account and made a brand new one. I then linked the new laptop using the new account. I log in, and a pop up appears saying "your sync will start shortly" yet NOTHING happens. Both computers are running the newest versions of Firefox and both are logged into the NEW sync account I made today (11/23/14) Why isn't it syncing. Ive scoured the internet all day to try to figure this out but all I've been pointed to his the Firefox FAQ page, which doesn't help me at all

Hi ThatOneColt,
Thank you for your question, I understand that after setting up the new sync account that nothing from the two computers are syncing. When you did a new clean reinstall on the old laptop, was the old profile preserved?
If not, it is possible to further investigate any error messages if you turn on the logs: * How do I turn on sync logs:
# Open about:config and turn on: services.sync.log.appender.file.logOnSuccess and services.sync.log.logger.engine.bookmarks
# Restart Firefox and look at: about:sync-log
# Logs and error messages will be located here
Please also use pastebin.mozilla.org for sharring any errors that relate to this issue.
Thank you.

Firefox will not recognize web pages with .aspx suffix, keeps asking for a program selection to open the file.

Searched for "st davids austin" on Google. In results clicked on listing for St David's Hospital North Austin. Apparently the site is written in ASPX and FF will not open it. It keeps asking for me to make a program selection to open the page. When I select FF as the program it just loops back and asks the same question again.

1. That is caused by a few different Bugs in Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions. It looks like it was fixed for Firefox 4.0.
2. Firefox doesn't go by the "system default printer". Firefox goes by the last used printer in Firefox as being the "default" in Firefox. It will remember the "last used in Firefox" and will use that printer until you switch to another printer and then remember that one.

Firefox will not connect to Tumblr, Facebook, and Google sites.

I had an issue where my computer completely froze up and I had to force restart. When I logged back on, Firefox no longer trusted Google or Facebook. Youtube seems ok, it's just sites with "google.com" in the URL... and Facebook.
Here's the error message I am getting:
This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to maps.google.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely,
sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to
this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is
trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
maps.google.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided.
(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)
I accepted that I would take the risks, but these sites won't load images. What good is Facebook without faces? Any ideas?
(A user on another site suggested uninstalling Firefox, cleaning the registry, and then re-installing. Doing this made Tumblr stop working)

*deep breath* Ok. All is well. Thank you all for your help. I wouldn't have realised what the issue was otherwise. I'm good now

Firefox will not update. Have uninstalled and re-downloaded. However firefox appears to not be able to connect for updats.

Firefox works well, except will not connect for updates

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 30.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Firefox will not start. Have error message "Failed (unknown reason)". Now I cannot get to the Internet

I was browsing and was asked if I wanted to update Firefox. I clicked yes. Thought it loaded, but now I cannot get to the internet at all. Now when I attempt to open Firefox and click on HELP, it gives me a Downloading Firefox 3.6.7 - but it will not connect.

Firefox will not open unless i reboot and the "send Link" option no longer works

after firefox is opened it works fine for awhile and then when i close the browser the desktop icon is unresponsive to o pen again unless i reboot. also, the "send Link" option, that always worked before, now does not.

I had tried this before, but went ahead and tried this again.
I clicked on "reset Firefox". Firefox closed, but did not come back up. When I tried to open it again, I did receive a message that said Firefox is running but is not responding, that I couldn't open another window without stopping the processes on the other page.
I never got a window that showed me the information that was imported, or a place to click finish.
Since I don't believe this completed, I don't believe my problem will be solved.
Debra

Firefox will not open when I click on it. It won't even let me open the profile manager. Uninstalling it and re-installing it does nothing. And it is driving me insane. I need firefox.

It will not open. No matter what I do.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Firefox will not import my old bookmarks, and does not make new ones.

I have recently installed windows 7 and then offcourse Firefox. I have been using Mozilla for more than 16 years. But now I am thinking of switching.
I cannot import my old bookmarks, there is not troubleshooting information, nothing happenes.
When I am making a new bookmark, it does only appear in the recently box, but not in the new sections I try to make.

Are you trying to import your bookmarks from a JSON file or an HTML file? Try opening this file with Notepad and make sure it actually contains bookmarks.
If the file is valid and is not importing, the problem may be that your bookmarks file is locked or corrupted. To fix this problem, follow the steps at [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#Places_database_file]

Firefox will not open - I have reinstalled and used the profile manager solution. It was fine earlier today. IE working fine.

I tried the suggested solutions including the 'clean install', any help would be most appreciated. I've used the Profile Manager, which is not much use when the browser won't even open to test it. I've also reinstalled twice, installed updates and restarted numerous times.
Firefox does do this on occasion, but usually sorts itself out - not this time.
Help!

You should check for malware or go back into regular mode and see if temorarily disabling your antivirus helps.

Firefox will not go to any website and i have done all the suggestions

I can get internet explorer to work but not firefox. It stopped working before i updated it. I get this messageUnable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.google.com.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

you have definitely tried the correct steps, all you would need to do now is a back up & restore to factory settings. If after that the issue remains then you would most likely need a replacement unit.
