Since updating to Firefox 36.0, I can't drag images around (for a Google reverse image search) - is it working as intended?

Earlier today, before updating the browser, I could drag the images around, to a new tab, where I'd throw them in Google, an essential asset for my work - getting visually similar references. Since the last update, I can't.
Is this how it's going to work from now on? I abhor the idea of switching browsers, but if i can't do that in FF36.0, I can't work with it.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
'''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

"In-page analytics" data doesn't display in Google Analytics "Content" screen since updating to Firefox 4. How can I fix this?

This feature is supposed to show the number of times visitors to your website have clicked on the various pages. It requires some google code in each page (which I have). It worked in the previous version of Firefox and still works in the iExplore browser. It stopped working after the update to FF4.0. No error messages... it just does nothing.

Thank you very much.
I scanned my computer and see that it is not a virus problem. The problem lies with FoxNews.com not being compatible with the latest Flash Player or plug-in. I can view on-site videos from within Firefox on all sites except FoxNews. It is the only site that has a huge separating space in the middle of the front page. and that displays a large area of code words where it should have an ad: "clicksor_default_url = '';clicksor_banner_border = '#99CC33'; clicksor_banner_ad_bg = '#FFFFFF';clicksor_banner_link_color = "
I ran the super bug-killer "ComboFix" (thinking the code was from the "Clicksor" virus) and was relieved to discover that it wasn't a virus.
I can easily view videos on FoxNews from within Internet Explorer (and there is no "clicksor" code displayed in IE either). The problem lies somewhere within the Firefox version of Adobe's Flash Player /plug-in or FoxNews' incompatible code. Users are being kept up-to-date with the latest Adobe updates, but FoxNews must be using old software and needs to catch up. There must be a lot of people having this problem.

Ever since I updated to Firefox 4.0, I can no longer open links in a new tab by holding ctrl and clicking the link. Any help?

Ever since I updated to Firefox 4.0, I can no longer open links in a new tab by holding ctrl and clicking the link. The only way I can open a link in a new tab is if I right click a link and select "open in a new tab" in the dropdown menu, but ctrl + click is so much easier and faster. Any clue how to fix this?

Some other users have fingered the Ask toolbar as the cause of this problem. You can try disabling or removing it here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
Does that help?

Since updating to Firefox 5 I can't access my talktalk email account. I can access it via IE but don't want to use different browsers for different functions - help please!

I can't load godaddy hosted sites since updating to firefox 6.02, this happened with 5.0 as well

I'm running Windows 7 sp1 64-bit on a Core2 Duo E4500 processor with 2 GB ram. Since upgrading to Firefox 6.02, I can't open sites hosted by GoDaddy.
They don't give an error, or any information at all. All I get is a white, blank page. There is no code behind it when I 'view source'.
This happened when I upgraded previously to version 5.0 also.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Since updating to 3.6.11 I can't open multiple browser windows. Windows 7 Pro

Using Win 7 Pro I've always been able to open multiple Firefox browser windows. Since updating to Firefox 3.6.11 I can only open one window at a time. I can still have multiple windows open using Internet Explorer or Chrome.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Google fonts not displaying correctly since updating to Firefox 31.0

Since updating to Firefox 31.0, the vast majority of Google / web fonts are not displaying correctly, including icons that are being replaced with random characters. When I view the Google web fonts page, only a few display correctly, the rest just default to a sans-serif font.
- I've tried running in safe mode with no add-ons enabled.
- I've tried disabling all add-ons then re-enabling one by one.
- I've checked the tickbox in the font settings for 'Allow pages to use their own fonts' is ticked
Any help appreciated, it's got quite frustrating now.
Thanks, Greg

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).
*http://browserspy.dk/fonts-flash.php?detail=1
You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
*[ ] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can check for problems with preferences.
You can check the gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled pref on the about:config page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click the line to toggle its value).
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Also - It will not let me install any add ons. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. other apps such as Safari and Mail work as normal. I need Firefox - please help if you can.

You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

Since updating to Firefox 23.0.1, I am unable to connect to our company servers.

Since updating to Firefox 23.0.1, I am unable to connect to our company servers. The error message is "Certificate type not approved for application.", and it gives me no option to create an exception.
In previous versions, Firefox gave the option of creating a security exception, and then everything worked as expected. The new version does not give this option, and hence I cannot connect to our company servers.
I can connect using Explorer, Opera, Chrome, etc., without any problems. Only Firefox refuses to connect.
Please advice.

The issue is not with SSL or TLS. The issue is with Firefox.
Thanks for all the helpful suggestions, but this is clearly a bug in Firefox, where the ability to create a security exception has been disabled in this case.
Other browsers, as well earlier versions of Firefox, allow security exceptions to be created, which completely solves the issue.
How do I go about reporting this bug?

If images are missing then check that you do not block images from some domains.
*Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
*Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
*If an image in the list is grayed and "Block Images from..." has a checkmark then remove this checkmark to unblock images from this domain.
Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config page should be 1.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.
See also:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Website_colors_are_wrong
There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

Since updating to firefox 9 my scroll feature on my touch pad doesn't work - help, please and thank you!

since updating to firefox 09 my scroll feature on my touch pad doesn't work. How do I fix this, please? I have a Gateway laptop. This has never happened before with other updates.
Thanks so much!!

Thank you so much for your link - unfortunately it is totally beyond my skills to understand or correct the bug as posted. I can find the touchpad icon and right click to open the options and that's about my speed. If this is a bug should I uninstall Firefox 9? Thanks so much...

Fonts rendering incorrectly since update to Firefox 13.0.1

Since I updated to Firefox 13.0.1, any website using the Helvetica Neue font is rendering an outline font instead. I do have this font installed on my computer, and cannot uninstall it as I am a graphic designer and I use it all the time. Any change we can get a fix on this?
I just pasted one example, but even this page is doing it: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/desktop/d1/form?search=Fonts+rendering+incorrectly+since+update+to+Firefox+13.0.1. I also know Pinterest does it.

There may be a problem with the Helvetica Neue font if Firefox is using another font instead.
You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).
*http://browserspy.dk/fonts-flash.php?detail=1
You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for selected text.

Since updating to Firefox 4.0.1 I have a problem with the website shortcuts I have on on desktop.

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread. 
Please continue here: [/questions/821825]</blockquote> 
Since updating to Firefox 4.0.1 I have a problem with the website shortcuts I have on on desktop. I have a few of these shortcut to website I use a lot. When I click on the short I get the message "windows cannot find [then the web address] make sure you typed the name correctly, then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search." I tried deleting the shortcut and setting it up again but still get the message.

Try to redo the default browser and make another browser like IE the default browser and then let Firefox do it again.
