Since switching to Firefox, nobody can find me in facebook when they do a search to add me as a team mate for games. Any ideas??

I have just recently switched to firefox. Since then in facebook people search me to add as team mate but they can't find me. This has only happened since the switch..any ideas?

To prevent Firefox from displaying form autocomplete suggestions, you can turn off that feature using the about:config page.
In the address bar, type or paste '''about:config''' and tap the Enter/Return key.
I suggest bookmarking this for easier future access.
In the search box, type or paste '''formf''' and tap the Enter/Return key.
Scroll down to '''browser.formfill.enable''' and tap the Toggle button to switch it from true to false.
That's it. Does it work on Facebook?
''The about:config preferences editor in the mobile version is similar in principle to the desktop version but many of the preferences available on the desktop version have no effect in mobile. This one I only tested on one site, but it seems to work.''

Since switching to Firefox, links pasted into e-mail are no longer blue and clickable. How do I fix that?

Since switching to Firefox, links pasted into e-mail are no longer blue and clickable. What can I do to make them work again?

The text editor is the textarea that you use on the webmail (Yahoo, Hotmail) website to compose a new mail.
Compare that with the "Post a Reply" textarea that you use to write a new post on this forum.
Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.
This button bar can also include a button to turn a link into a clickable hyperlink.
Check the tooltip of each button by hovering with the mouse over each button.

Since switching to Firefox this week, when I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail in Outlook, I get this message, "General failure. An error occurred in sending the command to the application." It doesn't open a new window or do anything.

I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.

I have been getting emails but recently I switch on and just find blank screen but the app says I am getting mail this is now happened to me twice any ideas?

Quit mail like this.
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.

FIREFOX IS FREEZING MY BACKGROUND GIF IMAGES WHEN THEY USED TO RUN SMOOTHLY BEFORE.

WE CREATE WEBSITES USING THE WEEBLY CREATOR, AND ALL OF OUR BACKGROUND IMAGING WORKS FLAWLESSLY IN CHROME.
BUT WE DESIGN ALL OF OUR WEBSITES USING THE FIREFOX BROWSER, AND CERTAIN BACKGROUNDS ARE FREEZING WHEN THEY NEVER USED TO DO SO BEFORE.
1. WE DELETED FOXFIRE AND UPDATED IT AGAIN
2. WE DISABLED ALL OF OUR PLUGINS AND THAT DIDN'T WORK.
3 WE WENT TO THE CONFIF: SETTINGS AND MADE SURE BOTH VIDEO AND GRAPH SETTINGS WHERE SET TO TRUE AND WE ARE STILL HAVING A HUGE PROBLEM WITH FREEZING BAD.
4. WE DISABLED HARDWARE ACCELERATOR WITH STILL NO LUCK

Try this...... your gif animation may be off
Toggle animated GIFs :: Add-ons for Firefox
[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/toggle-animated-gifs/]
or
1) in a new tab type in the URL '''about:config'''
2) click the button saying '''I'll Be Careful'''
3) type into the search bar at top '''image.animation_mode'''
4) It should read '''Normal''' under mode
The Firefox preference image.animation_mode determines how the browser handles animated gifs. It has three values that it accepts:
* none - will prevent all animation and display a static image instead.
* once - will run through the animation once and then stop.
* normal (default) - will allow it to play repeatedly.
The new value takes effect right away, which you can test on any page that is displaying animated gifs. If a page is already open, you need to reload it before the change becomes available.

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Every time Firefox opened

If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
You can also delete active-update.xml and possibly updates.xml (stores the update history).

That second one sounds like malware.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />

Trying to use a new, larger external hard drive for my Time Machine backup. However, every time I start the backup, it gets started then fails. And, I can't delete the few files that did save on the external. Sort of a catch 22. Any ideas?

Trying to use a new, larger external hard drive for my Time Machine backup. However, every time I start the backup, it gets started then fails. And, I can't delete the few files that did save on the external. Sort of a catch 22. Any ideas?

Is it a USB hard drive? USB hard drives have the problem of not giving full speed if they are hooked up on the same bus as keyboards and mice. Double check your profiler to make sure that is not a problem. If it is Firewire, make sure there aren't other firewire devices in use at the same time. I recommend not only keeping a Time Machine backup, but also a clone, and if you do use Time Machine, to make sure the Time Machine drive or partition is at least twice the size of the original drive.

I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion.Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked on all open. why?

I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion. Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked previously on all open. Can anyone tell me why?

You have a choice as to whether or not applications in Lion like Word or Preview (or even Safari) save and re-open previous documents or windows... just hold down the option key while quitting a program and when you re-open it you won't get the previous documents or windows when you re-open the application. You can see this by selecting the open program in the menu bar and when holding down the option key the quit function will change to quit and discard open windows. This feature in Lion is referred to as "Resume" and is great if you want to restart an app and return to what you're doing (for example in Safari re-opening existing windows and tabs from your previous session). You still have the option to close individual windows within an app before quitting and they will not re-open when the app is launched again.
This Resume function is not related to saving your work (a word or text document for example). This is handled by Lion's "Auto-Save" and "Versions" functions. See http://www.apple.com/ca/macosx/whats-new/auto-save.html
Hopefully this is the complete answer you're looking for.
