What has happened to my Firefox? No matter which version I use, from 3.0.1 to current, it has become a nightmare to use. Is it me? Or does Firefox now suck as a browser?

I once thought that nothing compared to Firefox. I hated IE8 and still hate and curse Microsoft. But now, no matter which version I install of Firefox I found myself calling the same names I call IE8. I have currently uninstalled Firefox. And have gone back to Chrome. Firefox is performing that poorly, crash after crash, hang after hang. Just drives me nuts. Can't handle it anymore. If you know how to fix it, I will reinstall it. Otherwise, I may have uninstalled Firefox for the last time.

Firefox 6 should run well on Windows 7, but in some cases old settings become corrupted during an upgrade. Whether you choose version 6.0.2 or 3.6.22, try starting up to the Profile Manager and create a new blank profile. Then import your old bookmarks and see whether the browser works correctly. If so, you can rebuild your collection of add-ons and re-apply settings. If not, perhaps something else on your PC is interfering with Firefox (or the web sites you visit are unusually challenging).

    I print a PDF.  I want it to save, no matter which program I print from, to my hard drive.  How do I do this?

    Hi print to file default,
    Please forgive me, but I'm not sure I follow what you're trying to do. Are you trying to print a PDF to PostScript (that's typically what "print to file" refers to). Or, are you simply creating PDF files, and you want them to save to you hard disk? I'm not sure why you would want to print a PDF file "to file."
    Are you perhaps using the Create PDF Desktop printer, which automatically saves files to your Acrobat.com online account? (If so, please be aware that Create PDF Desktop printer will be retiring shortly. Please see Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer is no longer available.)
    Please help me understand what you're trying to achieve, and we'll get this sorted out.
    Best,
    Sara

  • How do I get a new phone from my warrenty because my current iPhone has a pixel issue?

    My current iphone has pixel that bothers me while im watching videos, playing games etc. I cant see the pixel when the whole screen is lit up but when majority of the screen is lit up and the top and bottom parts arnt I can see the pixel always going white all the time,

    If it is only one pixel you are unlikely to get a replacement. The industry norm is five or six  stuck pixels before a replacement will be considered.
    No harm in going to the Apple store and asking them nicely though... it sometimes works!

  • When I am using Facebook, all of a sudden with Firefox 4, everything is SO slow. This has happened before. I want the old version back.

    Ever since I switched to Firefox 4, everything is slowing down! I hate this version. I want the old version back. I went to Facebook, it took so long to be able to do anything that I just gave up. This NEVER happened with the old version. I just want to get the old version back. I DO NOT LIKE this new version. Same kinds of problems I had once before when I tried it.

    You may have a corrupted user agent that identifies you as Firefox/3.6.8

    If you set Firefox as the default browser then that is your main browser.<br />
    You can still start other browser just like you did before via their icons or otherwise.

  • What has happened to the green screen feature in version 9.4? Where did it go?

    I have a shiny new desktop Imac and tried to access the green screen feature in Imovie that works fine on ver 9.2 that I have installed on my laptop, only to find the option no longer exists. Did they remove it??

    It's part of the 'Advanced Tools' in iMovie. I think Advanced tools is turned off in a new iMovie install. To turn it on:
    Go to the iMovie Menu > Preferences > Show Advanced Tools (make sure the box is checked)
    When the advanced tools are turned on, you will see Green Screen appear as an option in the pop-up menu as you drag one video clip from your Events Library on top of any clip in your Project timeline.

  • What has happened to the URL window in "show all history" library? On my desktop and notebook this has disappeared since the 3.6.12 update.

    Only the "Date" window is shown, libraries window appears to be inaccessible since update to version 3.6.12, unless I'm missing something.

    YouTube is not now part of iOS 6.
    However, you can go to the App Store and do a search using YouTube. You can download several YouTube apps: YouTube (for the iPhone, a IPad app is in work), several users  like Jasmine and YouPlayer.

  • What will happen to my iPhone contacts if I choose to "Delete from my iPhone" the previously synced contacts from the iCloud?

    When I updated my iPhone 3GS to i06, my contacts were messed up.  Some of my contacts were lost, and one of my contacts which I had two numbers for, a new one and an old number, now only has one number and it is the old one.  So, will I get my original contacts back if I choose the "Delete from my iPhone" choice?

    Regarding the first question:
    - The contacts on my iPhone right now, due to the connection with iCloud, are numbers that came from the iCloud account (which, unfortunately is my husband's account - I didn't realize it).  Although we have some of the same people on our contacts, his, of course, contains his business contacts as well.  Before the connection, my contacts were my social contacts and my business contacts.  It looks like that not all my contacts from before the iCloud connection are there as some are missing and all of them have missing punctuation marks.  All my photos that were on the contacts of the people are missing as well. 
    -  I will have to check and see if my contacts are on the iCloud account also.  Haven't checked that yet. 
    By the way, this all happened when I loaded the i06 update.  That's when it asked me if I wanted to store it on iCloud. And when I clicked on it, everything changed on my contacts.

  • I'm running Windows 7 on an HP Pavillion p6727c - AMD Athlon II 640 processor. In Firefox, no matter which tab I'm in, if I hit the "home" icon I get every open tab duplicated. How can I disable this feature? Thanks.

    How do I get rid of duplicate tabs when I hit the home icon?

  • Every time I visit CNN I get a message saying that Firefox prevented the page from automatically reloading. I want to allow this. How can I do this? Why does Firefox make this so difficult? It's just a news site...

    I want to allow CNN.com and other news and weather pages as well as blogs to automatically reload. I cannot figure out how to do so. Every other browser I've ever used has a way of allowing certain "trusted" sites to reload. All I get is an icon that says "Allow" but when I click on it the message instantly reappears and the only way to get rid of it is to "X" out of it which defeats the purpose completely.

    That shouldn't block refreshes.<br />
    If that happens then check your extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)

    I get an error on my iPhone saying that iCloud photo library storage has run out of space and it will stop uploading photos from my phone. However, my iCloud has 1.5gb of free storage and my photo library only has about 22 photos. So, what's happening here?

    Are you using iCloud photo library beta.
    Are any of your photos actually video.

  • What has happened to the orange bookmark box in the top lh corner how do I find and make bookmarks?

    Seems an update has happened - why? Any how the bookmark orange box in the top lh corner of the toolbar has gone missing.
    So how do I now bookmark a website for future use?
    Second how do I display my list of bookmarks?
    Replies in language a 70 year old will understand please.

    Firefox 29 and later versions have the Australis interface that looks different than the user interface in Firefox 28 and older versions.
    *With the Australis interface the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar<br>A consequence of this new menu button is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
    *There is a star like button to the right end of the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.<br>You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
    *It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu on the toolbars to have menus like the Bookmarks menu
    * Click the bookmark star on the Navigation Toolbar once to bookmark the current site (this will highlight the star) to bookmark the current page in the Unsorted folder
    * Click the blue highlighted star to open the "Edit This Bookmark" pop-up dialog and move the bookmark to another folder
    In current Firefox releases the "Bookmark This Page" menu entry in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark" once you have bookmarked the page and the star on the Navigation Toolbar is highlighted blue.<br />
    So do not get confused by the missing "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu and seeing "Edit This Bookmark" instead if you try to bookmarks a page that is already bookmarked.<br />
    You can make a extra copy of a bookmark by dragging the link to a folder in the bookmarks sidebar or by doing a copy and paste in the Bookmarks Manager (Library).
    You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.
    *Classic Theme Restorer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
    *You can check the settings of the CTR extension via its Options/Preferences button on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" page.
    *You can find extra toolbar buttons in the Customize palette (3-bar Firefox menu button > Customize)
