When I'm in Yahoo news comments, WaterFox keeps interrupting me with a survey about FireFox. Then I can't get back to where I was. Help?
Actually, I'm using WaterFox 28.0, but that wasn't an option.
I try to access my comments to Yahoo news stories. I may be in the middle of posting a comment, or just running through them to see how people have responded. WaterFox suddenly interrupts me with a survey about FireFox. It interrupts what I'm doing, and afterward the only way back to the place where I was is to start at the top of the comments again and search for it. If I was posting, either my post is lost entirely, or it posted in incomplete form.
I've tried answering the survey in the hopes that it will go away, but it keeps showing up. It's exceedingly annoying, and, much as I love WaterFox I'm considering going with Chrome or Torch instead.
I have WaterFox set to block pop-ups, but apparently WaterFox doesn't think that applies to itself.
Does ANYONE know how to make this go away?

You have a bad extension loaded into Firefox.
*MediaPlayerplus
Remove this by going to [[Image:new fx menu]] > Add-ons > Extensions
Uninstall anything you don't recognize from your control panel. (Start > Control Panel > Uninstall a Program
You will also want to run ADW Cleaner to remove any remnants of the extension

I just upgraded to Firefox 3.6.13 this morning and now, when I click on a link in an email or webpage, it won't open Firefox. How can I get this option restored in Firefox so I don't have to copy and paste the link?
See this lnk for a fix, it worked for me!

Just updated to 7.0 and now to 7.01 and have performance issues on my fire breathing Win 7 64 system. I am constantly getting the refresh blue circle and screen dimming...this will go on for a couple of minutes and I have to go to the Task Manger to end process to get out of firefox.
I had the same issue on my Win 7 64 bit system. The browser became incredibly slow. I found these performance tweaks which have made and amazing difference in 7.01.

I did not make the ram tweak and the tweak for content.notify.backoffcount actually made things worse. Other tweaks I did not do are the browser blink, mouse to paste, and source editor since these really don't seem performance related. -
I hate the tabs on top. Where did all my toolbar bookmarks go? And where are the rest of my bookmarks. I had at least 50 sites I love bookmarked and only about 5 are there now. Oh... but I do have some bookmarks that you put there. I don't want your bookmarks.... I WANT MY BOOKMARKS. See the thing about bookmarks is they mark your place for things you are personally interested in.... Therefore, I see no reason for you to give me stuff already bookmarked. But take away all my own. I never would have updated if I had known it would be so different. We've updated many times and never did I lose everything. I want you to email me and tell me a simple way to go back and retrieve my marks. My pc will let me reset everything to Oct. 2010, but I still lose about 6 months work finding good sites for my hobbies, business and coupons.

If I am browsing on site such as Ebay or any shopping site and click on an item, when I return to the search page I am once again at the top of the page and have to search down for where I was in the list of items. This is not only on Ebay it is everywhere I search. Firefox goes back to the top of the page . It is annoying to have to figure out exactly where I was if I left the page and then returned. This is a hinderance when using Firefox. I have considered uninstalling it because of the inconvenience of 're-searching' after already doing a search. Firefox used to take me right back to where I was if I left a page, but that feature is not working now. I am not sure how to change this in the settings.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test. -
when I go to fox news or yahoo news for example, I notice my mouse icon is jittery. I also don't get good sound. When I play Pandora through mozilla bookmark I don't get anything. When I use google chrome all is well.
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 turns off some settings, disables most 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.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow 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. -

Why is that when I am composing a new message do I end up with multiple versions of my message I am composing up in my Google Trash mailbox? How can I stop this from happening?
It was very hard to see what the box says because the message displays for less than one second. However, I was able to record it with my iphone and pause it until I got a shot of the message. The box says the following:
"Do you want the application “java” to accept incoming network connections?
Clicking deny may limit the application’s behavior. This setting can be changed in the Firewall pane of Security preferences."
I did make some changes. I will see if it works.
Thank you!!! -
I am trying to set up my new iphone 4s, but when i try to log into itunes it keeps coming up with server error. What do i do?
<Edited by host>Some free advice. If your son is 8 years old, put him on your account, and set parental controls so that he cannot accidentally run up giant charges within the games.
If your son is 25 years old, get him his own AppleID and make him responsible for his own bills.
In between ... use your judgement. -
My iPad is stuck--when I tried to install new IO7 (auto-invite) it stuck at the Agree/Disagree page. How do I get it going, get unstuck, or dump the new OS?
Reset iPad and continue with update.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected. -

History window opens by default when i open a new window or restart firefox. How can i get rid of that ? its annoying
If the History sidebar is closed when you close Firefox and doesn't stay closed on the next start then that can be problem with the file localstore.rdf in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete localstore.rdf or rename the file to localstore.rdf.sav in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to test if the file is corrupted.<br />
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf<br />
(caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)
Note:<br />
Deleting the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults.<br />
You can rename "localstore.rdf" to "localstore.rdf.sav" to test if that solves it.<br />
Then you can restore the customization by copying "localstore.rdf.sav" to "localstore.rdf" if it didn't work.<br />
