The proxy settings supplied by my work's IT dept. don't work with Firefox on my Nexus. I have entered them in the about:config settings list but to no avail.
I have tried to change the config settings in line with a lsited posting, and these are:
network.proxy.type =1
network.proxy.http = setting from IT dept.
network.proxy.http_port = 8080
Is there anything else I should do?
Are you experiencing this issue with another browser?

When closing Firefox windows, I would like a warning before the last window closes. The about:config settings do nothing. There is a warning for multiple tabs... why not for the last window? I do not use tabs... just windows... I have a mouse button programmed for that. It is really irritating to have to restart Firefox all the time and then open the history window because no warning was issued!
This is ridiculous. I've had this problems for years now and I'm finally walking away from Firefox. I use my keyboards more than my mouse, and how many times does your finger slip and hit Command Q instead of W. How come FF can't reset something as trivial as this? So many people are having problems with this?
Feels like FF has become too big, too slow and just not cooperative anymore. What a shame, I've been using Netscape/Firefox for 13 years. This is silly. -
When I have finished working on an image in Photoshop and I hit the "save" button, it goes instead to the "save as" screen. This never happened in previous Photoshop versions. When I get to Lightroom, I have a grey screen the says "File could not be found." I then have to go to "locate" to get the image. When I select the correct image, I get a message that it is not the same file name but I am eventually able to access the image. Needless to say this is having a negative impact on workflow!
The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help

how can i download old settings with firefox sync ? i formatted my computer thinking that the data will be restore on login , but it's only letting my sync firefox with mobile device , can someonr please help my ?
'''Did you backup whatever bookmarks you did have on the computer ? '''
Remember any restoring of bookmarks overwrites whatever he current set is, and you may not want to loose them.
Even if up until now you have not made any backups of Desktop bookmarks Firefox will have backed up some of them into sets of daily bookmark backups. Once you have backed up your current set you could look at what it has by restoring those bookmarks, you may find one of those sets is fairly complete.
By the way if you look at the profile files and folders that you should now have on the desktop you should see it contains a bookmarks backup folder, the size of the files within should indicate whether they contain anything.
You need to go into the bookmarks library and try the restore option. Backup each set that you look at if it has anything of use in it, before trying the next set. With look one of those will be a fairly complete set of bookmarks.
* USE '''Show All Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Restore '''
** see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer#w_restoring-from-backups]]_restoring-from-backups
I do not use Firefox on mobiles, but before you try anything further you do need to backup the desktop bookmarks and learn what existing backups you have. Unless you master that you are in continual danger of overwriting and loosing bookmarks.
Presumably you have already found this listing of help articles for mobiles

hd show i have downloaded them in the past and they work fine but now i cant buy any new ones it grayed out and wont let me click on them
If you Go to the app store on your phone, then go to updates you should have a purchased icon at the top.
Click on that and it will show the apps you have downloaded before as they are stored on the icloud.
Then you should be able to click on the app and redownload it, not sure if it will charge but its worth a try. -
My HP (USB connected) and Epson (wireless) printers keep losing their connection with my Mac mini. I have to physically disconnect the HP and then reconnect for the Mac to find it. Turning off the wireless Epson doesn't resolve anything. All software/drivers have been updated.

Migrate about:config settings from 3.6 to 4.0
Over time, I have incorporated many changes and enhancements to Firefox 3.6, in the about:config settings. Many of these are timing changes or speedups of basic settings recommended by users and others intent on making things faster.
Will it be at all possible to move this over to 4.0, or is that pretty much a "start over" kind of project?Put those prefs into a '''user.js''' file, to make them more "portable". That makes it a lot easier when you need to ''(or want to)'' create a new Profile with all your special Firefox about:config change.
To get started creating a new user.js file you can open your '''prefs.js''' file in a simple text editor program ''(one that won't change the line formatting appearance)'' and copy the prefs that you changed in about:config into another text window line-by-line. <br />''(Yep, you need to find them line-by-line, they're going to be intermixed with prefs set by extension that you have installed.)'' <br />When you have all those prefs in the 2nd window, you can add the code needed by the user.js that differs from what prefs.js uses - '''user_pref(" ''' & ''' ")''' before and after the actual pref - type it once and copy&paste each of those two line-by-line for each pref line.''<br />
http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file <br />
It's a lot of work the first time to get started with a user.js file, but it the long run it's a real time and frustration saver. I have been using the same basic user.js file since 2005, and all I need to do is change the few prefs that might get changed in a new version and also add whatever new prefs that I want to set for the new version, for new added features.
''Additional information about using a '''user.js''' file in Firefox:'' <br />
Firefox looks at the user.js file every time it starts for additions or changes to preferences, and then writes those to the prefs.js file.
'''user.js''' doesn't exist by default, it has to be created. This extension will create that file automatically upon installation and it provides an editing window for the three "user" files from within Firefox. ''You don't have to dig thru your file system every time you want to do a minor edit.''

How can I retain about:config settings when updating firefox?
Really appreciate all the hard work creating updates but every time I update I lose my about:config settings, especially the browser.tab ones that I rely on. Specifically I use non-default settings on InsertRelatedAfterCurrent and all the warning ones. (I never want to be warned). I also use the Tabs on Bottom plugin which also has to be reinstalled after major updates. I run Firefox on at least 4 separate machines so it is a rather huge headache to have to reconfigure after each update. Is there a way to tell Firefox to update but don't change my settings back to defaults?
Thanks for a great browser.Those settings should not get lost...
Is it possible you used the Refresh feature? Sometimes after an update installs Firefox displays a message that it is running sluggishly and you can improve performance by restoring some default settings. That runs the Refresh feature, which will default your settings and remove all of your extensions (the ones you installed into Firefox yourself, not ones that were added by other software on your system). The telltale sign is that an Old Firefox Data folder appears on your desktop with your "old" settings folder inside. If you have experienced this repeatedly, there may be several old folders inside. Could that be the explanation?
You might want to create a backup of your prefs.js file, which stores your modified Firefox preferences, before your next update. You can find that file in your currently active Firefox settings (profile) folder as follows (either):
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders in Windows Explorer.
Scroll down and make a copy of prefs.js (or it may shows prefs and a file type of JScript) in a safe location such as your documents folder. -
I'm new to iPad mini and uv I'm trying to get a movie I purchased to where I can watch it offline but when I click the option to download and watch offline it keeps giving me and error with download try again later I have a good wifi connection ??
You have a "good WiFi connection". What does that mean exactly? Can you send and receive email and are other internet related activities working OK for you? Have you tried restarting or rebooting your iPad? Sometimes that helps. If nothing else, it's a good place to start.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
How could I sync About:Config settings?
(I'm not very good at English, if you don't understand something of my problem description please tell me).
I have 2 OS on my PC: Windows 7 and Windows 8 RP (for the time of this question) - I keep Firefox synced between the two with Firefox Sync. Some days ago (at the time of this question) I changed some settings on about:config in 7 and denoted at the next day that these changes were missing on 8. I already know how to move "prefs.js", but I wanted to know if there was any possible way to sync my about:config settings between these 2 and continuosly and keep them synced on the cloud so whenever I make some change it applies for both systems.
If possibly by Firefox Sync.
(In other words: Sync "prefs.js" between my 2 OS).Only prefs that are white-listed as services.sync.prefs.sync.* prefs with a true value will be synced.

sign in to itunes store will not disappear and the whole IPad will not let me go into other screens till this pop up goes away. I have entered the password several times and still will not disappear. Turned the IPad on and off but the pop up remain
FIrst try a soft reset by holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears then let go & let the iPad boot up normally.
If that doesn't help then to make sure you have a strong internet connection.
Try resetting Network Settings
Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings,
You won't lose any data but will have to log back into your wifi networks.
Once logged back in and when the pop-up appears, try entering your password again. -
My online college course-room has a "Computer System Check"application that tells you when you are using the best version for working with the classes as their application development is written. They say that they have troubles with Firefox 3.6. (I have seen a couple of minor issues, but nothing too far off the mark.)
The site is through Capella University and maybe you could work with their "Learner Support" to help them bring their software up to work with the latest Firefox version/revision.Reference site:-

I have modified the original Fedora firefox script from /usr/bin/firefox to be /usr/bin/firefox-old.
Then I modified the script firefox-old to change the LAUNCHER from "/usr/bin/firefox" , which now points to my FF7.0.1 to the $MOZ_PROGRAM which has been setup earlier to the correct binary /usr/lib64/firefox-3.6/firefox<br />

## Set MOZ_APP_LAUNCHER for gnome-session
export MOZ_APP_LAUNCHER="$MOZ_PROGRAM -no-remote -P Firefox-3.6"

How do I delete movies from iTunes library? I have moved them to the iCloud and now only seem to have the option to hide the icon in iCloud. I am sure I chose poorly at the 'keep file' window. Please help. My Brain hurts… 18 plus movies need to go…. Thank you.
Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:

How can I connect my Ipad Air to my PC to see the Ipad screen on the PC?
I have connected them via the Ipad to a LIGHTNING DIGITAL AV ADAPTER-ZML connected to a APPLE HDMI TO HDMI CABLE (1.8 M)-ZML, and to the HDMI port on the PC. But now I don't know how to show the Ipad screen on the PC, as if it was a monitor / screen, so that I can then use Lync and share my PC screen with people virtually.
Thanks for any help! RegardsHi Rob - thanks so much for your help! Could you tell me what "air sever or reflector apps." are? and where can I look for information about them?
Do you use them on the Ipad or on the PC?
Do I need a cable too and which one?
Sorry... I am not very technical as you can see, thanks for your help.
