The mozilla firefox browser vertical slide bar is moving up and down automatically?

The mozilla firefox browser vertical slide bar is moving up and down automatically. This is happening when i am browsing internet?

Hello,
You said you have disabled all add-ons and plug-ins. This may be a repeat exercise but can you please test for the problem when Firefox is in safe mode. This disables plug-ins as well but also applies various other changes. See here for details:
[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If the problem still appears in Safe Mode then it may be that there is still some part of Hola that is causing the problem. You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
If none of that works then I suggest resetting Firefox. This will return Firefox to its default state but will keep your personal data, bookmarks etc. See here for instructions:
[[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
I hope that helps.

I can't get to the Mozilla Firefox browser so I've gone back to Google. Help?

I was happily using a previous version of Mozilla firefox with all my settings and then decided to upgrade to the latest version. It's all installed ok but where is the browser? You guys have made it so confusing I've had to go back to google. I have the screen with the bear wearing hat and cane, next to a spin wheel, but how do I get to the browser? Very frustrated - Please advise.

Are you saying that you don't have the Menus at the top of the Firefox window (File, Edit, View, etc.)? If that is the case:
#Press Alt on the keyboard to bring up the menus
#Click on the View menu, go down to Toolbars and select Menu Bar to make menu stay.
For more info see, [[Menu bar is missing]].

How can I remove livesearch from the Mozilla Firefox browser window?

Somehow I got the live-search malware embedded into the Firefox browser window. I have tried to remove it using SuperAntiSpyware, Spybot-S7D, and Malwarebyte. Plus ran AVG. Did all four of these several times. But I still have livesearch.
How do I get rid of it? Will uninstalling Firefox and the reinstalling it work. If I uninstall Firefox and reinstalling it, will I loos all my bookmarks?
Please Help!
Thanks,
Naturewoman

Generally speaking, uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox doesn't solve most problems unless you remove all your personal settings, which I definitely do NOT recommend.
These kinds of infiltrations can take some effort to remove. To make it easier, Firefox now had a "reset" feature which preserves your bookmarks but strips away custom settings and extensions, which are the source of most problems.
You could try manually removing the "Printing Helper" extension and resetting your search settings first. If these don't help, then try the reset.
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Then run the Search Reset extension from here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/searchreset/

Any luck?

Can I change the Google search bar on the Mozilla Firefox Start Page to direct searches to google.co.uk, as it currently directs me to google.fr and I do not speak French (even though I live here!).

I like the Mozilla Firefox Start Page and I do find Google fairly useful (albeit that I have dumped Chrome for Firefox due to Google's constant badgering to sign-up to their social network "circles" etc) - but my gripe is that I am redirected to google.fr NOT google.co.uk (my 1st preference) or google.com (2nd preference). Yes, I am located in France. No, I am not French and most of the information I am looking for is contained on UK or US web pages. I found the same problem with the provided Google search engine in the top right bar, so removed it in favour of Yahoo (which I am not a fan of either!). Any advice would be gratefully received. Thx.

Many thanks for the prompt reply, ideato.
One of the reasons I abandoned Chrome in favour of Firefox was due to the "black band of doom" that appears on the top of the Google page - so setting up my homepage to google.co.uk just puts that back in the ugly spotlight.
I was, though, pleasantly surprised to see a Google search bar on the Mozilla Firefox Start Page (without the black band and Google options that I am just not interested in) but bitterly disappointed that it is Google.fr (due to my ISP being French).
I shall learn to live with Yahoo (or worse case scenario, Bing!)

after mozilla firefox crashed and a restart, the Firefox Developer Edition opend - how to open the normal firefox browser ?

See if this works for you.
Open up Tools > Options -> General and toggle the first preference - '''Allow Firefox Developer Edition and Firefox to run at the same time''' - to get back to your previous Aurora Profile. It will tell you to restart Firefox.
If there's a check-mark in the box for that pref it shows the Aurora Profile, if you remove that check-mark it shows the Developer Edition Profile.

Did you perform a Firefox Reset either by clicking the button on the Help > Troubleshooting Information page or via the Safe mode start window?
You may have gotten the Safe Mode start window as the result of not being able to start Firefox more than once after crashes.

"Reset" creates a new default profile with a time stamp appended to identify it and tries to recover settings like bookmarks and history and passwords and cookies and auto-fill data from the old profile, but you lose data like extensions and other customizations.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Firefox 15+ versions will move the old profile folder to an "Old Firefox Data-##" folder on the Desktop that gets a number appended if you use reset more than once, so you can no longer use the profile manager to revert to the old profile.

Firefox browser keeps going into not responding mode and the firefox experts continue to "not respond" to the problem. Firefox 11.0 and W7. When will you respond??

Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works find in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. you can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.
Now when Firefox hangs, is this randomly, on specific websites, etc.? You can also read [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox-hangs https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox-hangs]

Mozilla Firefox browser stopped working altogether about 6-8 weeks ago!

We love Mozilla Firefox...and, as genuine early adopters and "pioneers," have been using it since day one! That is until our service was disrupted about a month or two ago and we were forced to use IE as default Browser.
Wha happened?
At first we thought something was wrong with the settings in our PC (DELL desktop, 32 bit, Vista), they they had somehow gone 'out of whack' and were making it impossible to open MF any longer. What a disaster! The first and second level Support team at AT&T tried everything, including removing and reloading our Mozilla Firefox browser app, but to no avail...even after running through this process as well as other basic protocols a number of times.
Interestingly, a friend called me yesterday complaining that a virus (Trojan) had invaded his computer and was wreaking havoc in a number of ways. When I asked what the symptoms were, he said, "well, the main one is I can no longer use my Mozilla Firefox browser!"
I couldn't believe my ears. What do you guys know about this symptom and what can I do to fix it? Is it some kind of MS IE conspiracy we are up against?
Thank you!

Got that mha007, and many thanks for jumping into the fray with us. However, once I am confronted by the Safe Mode window I do not know what to do next, e.g.,
"You can elect to make the following changes:
•Disable all add-ons
•Reset toolbars and controls
•Reset bookmarks to Firefox defaults
•Restore default search engines
•Disable all add-ons
•Reset toolbars and controls"
Which, if any, do I check... and, importantly, why?
Please reference my note to Weather15 (about 3 notes above)...
"However---and this may be significant based on your advice earlier,
when I went back to START and right clicked on the Mozilla Firefox
icon, I was able to initiate a'Safe Mode' execution, which then presented
me with the 'Safe Mod window' mentioned at the site.
If I simply "Continue in Safe Mode," without selecting any of the
options offered in the window, e.g., "Disable all add-ons," I am still
unable to open or run Mozilla Firefox...so nothing has been fixed or
changed.
What, if any, boxes in the Safe /Mode window should I try checking?
And, having run both SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes several
times now, why has the malware or virus not at least been recognized if
not removed the ''perp''?"

How do I install Adobe Flash Player on Mozilla Firefox browser

How do I install Adobe Flash Player on Mozilla Firefox Browser?

Download and run the installer from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

All of a sudded, my firefox browser isnt allowing my to click links and open pages, or open anything on the top area of the screen. For example i go to my email and i cant click on inbox, send, create, folders, mark as unread. It is like this on every website?? Its really annoying i cant do anything becasue most sites have login at the top of the screen and i cant login to anything.

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.

Installing flash player 10.1. with existing Mozilla Firefox browser

I am using Mozilla Firefox browser and would like to install FLASH PLAYER 10.1 -Operating System Windows XP, 32 bits
I have difficulty following the installation instructions. When clicking on " tools" on my browser I am uncertain to go to " Options"
or "Add-ons". If I select add-ons I am taken to a window that prompts me to make selections among " recommendations".
- If I select "options" I am unable to locate the tab where I can install add-ons , specifically where I type in the Adobe address. I am also uncertain whether I would use www.adobe.com or a more specific address.
- When I install the flash player without the add-ons the program becomes corrupted within a short time. Any solution? Please

Sorry, I don't understand this. To install FP for Firefox, just download the installer http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe, save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.
P.S. what is your Firefox version?

How can I download the Mozilla Firefox version 1.5 or 2?

I need the older versions I mention above for a program I want to use on my mac book pro. Those are currently the only versions supported by the website. How can I obtain them through your site? All I see are the newer 5.0 versions

After boot-up the following message appears with the Mozilla Firefox symbol:

A script on this page maybe busy, or it may have stopped responding.
You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete."
There is a "Continue" and a "Stop Script" button selection.
I'm not sure this is something to worry about.
I assume you have some web pages coming up when you start. One or more of these pages has a javascript program running when the page loads. This program is runnin' out of time for some reason.
Does your browser come up with some pages loaded? Try getting rid of these pages. The message should go away.
We have version 1.5.0.2 of Firefox installed. Firefox appears to run without issue.
You may want to try a newer webrowser.
