Where is privacy panel in firefox 5.0.1? I do not see it in firefox/options menu.

On my desktop PC, windows vista 64 bit OS, I updated to Firefox 5.0.1. I am not seeing the "privacy panel", when I goto the firefox/options menu. Where is this privacy panel in firefox 5.0.1, which in earlier versions, i used to see in tools menu.

If you want to temporarily see the menu bar toolbar press the '''Keyboard ALT key'''
Have a look at these articles, and any other links that they include that you feel may be relevant:
* [[Private Browsing]]
* [[Options window - Privacy panel]]
Some of these options are now available from within the Firefox Button, or as explained above hit the alt key.

Despite having the File Associations in both Windows Control Panel and Firefox Options set to Windows Media Player for *.mwv files Firefox tries to open them with Foxit pdf Reader, which bombs out - what now?

Making this entry from my Linux computer which handles the situation correctly.The real situation involves only a Toshiba laptop running Windows XP.

I used this link for tiff http://www.nrl.navy.mil/content.php?P=IMAGES
QT was opening the tiff files. When going into the QT control panel Browser>Mime settings>Images-Still image files I was able to uncheck tiff, which held. I was also able to uncheck all the file types under File Types tab(Images-Still image files) in the QT control panel. However the preference would not hold. Went into Start>Set Program Access and Defaults that also was of no help.
The only way I was able to get QT to release the tiff's from the website I posted was to go into the Folder Options control panel for File Types and change the tif & tiff from QT picture viewer to windows picture and fax viewer.
So not sure why the QT control panel will not respond, there are other file types in the Folder options control panel on this computer other than tiff's that are still associated to QT, but didn't try changing them, perhaps that needs to be done?
Good post I didn't realize this before reading your post, if I come across anything further I'll post back.

I'm not seeing system Defaults in Firefox options menu

When I go to Options, then Advanced, the System Defaults category isn't listed in order to make it my default browser.

You may not have the permission to make this change.
You can check the browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser pref on the <b>about:config</b> page.
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

I can not, "pick" in Options window - Privacy panel, to change "passwords" settings

Thank you

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Is there any way to quickly access the options menu without clicking "Firefox/Options"?

I want to be able to quickly jump to the Firefox Options menu without having to click the "Firefox" button and then "Options" after. The reason I want to do this is because I want to be able to quickly change fonts, and I also want to quickly allow/disallow websites from using their own font and background colors. The bright whites that websites often use hurt my eyes. Some websites don't work properly if they aren't allowed to use their own font and background settings, so I have to switch it back and forth, depending on the website. It is annoying to have to go through multiple Firefox menus every time I change my font and background settings. A quick keyboard shortcut or a button press to access options or allow/disallow font and background settings would be great. Any help?

One alternative solution would be to investigate some of the add-ons available. Some of these may need a bit of setting up but then modify how websites display.

Having a hard time reading on the web? Is that website with the ridiculously small font and hot-pink-on-slightly-darker-hot-pink text raising your blood pressure? NoSquint can:
Override the default text-only and full-page (both text and images) zoom levels for all websites
Enforce your own foreground and background colors
Remember your zoom levels and color settings per site, automatically applying them when you return.
Disagree with what NoSquint calls a site? A powerful exceptions mechanism lets you split up or group together sites with URL patterns.
A second alternative if you are good with the keyboard is to use keyboard existing shortcut sequences. I do not know them offhand for Windows, but they are not likely to be particularly convenient unless well learnt and used frequently.

Looked up DNT:1 and reference to "Firefox Preferences" .. "Advanced panel" and "Privacy panel" yet I can't find ANY OF THESE ... Where are they please?

I know some find this type of knowledge simple, but it's frustrating for an old non-geek like me. I tried to sign up for the mailing list about DNT:1 ... but when I clicked on "subscribe" a small window opened, telling me I had "no email program associated.." and to "create an association in the Default Programs control panel". I went to my Control Panels and Default Programs, but could not find ANYTHING in there to enable me to associate my email address TO ANYTHING. So much computer jargon ASSUMES the user knows the jargon. I'm not stupid... I have a degree and Post Grad qualifications, but I am not a mind reader even at close range - let alone online.
Why is something important as Advanced panel, Preferences or Privacy panel nowhere to be seen on my Firefox browser page?

Why can't I add text in the signature panel in firefox?

why can't I add text in the signature panel in firefox? I have adobe acrobat pro XI. I can open a pdf in acrobat pro and am able to add text to a pdf, but when I open a pdf in firefox, the "add text" option is not available.

When you install Acrobat XI you are also installing Reader for use in the browser. Reader is "sandboxed", or as it says in the Preferences, it is in "Protected Mode". Acrobat does not understand the concept of running in sandboxed memory (sandbox is a security feature to prevent the bad guy from exploiting a memory error and getting into a memory address where they can do damage to your computer) so to help protect Acrobat users the same way Reader users are protected we just install Reader along with Acrobat, but it is only used in the browser (part of this is because the bad guys use web sites as their primary method of distributing corrupted PDF files that can cause problems).
That said, because you are in Reader the file needs to be Reader Enabled prior to being posted to the web site (or opened in the browser). Once the file is Reader Enabled you should be able to add the text annotations.

When I navigate web with Firefox my Thinkpad trackpoint center button is not working. With other web browsers it works well. Where is the problem in firefox, how to enable TrackPoint center button?

I have exactly the same settings in Options (in both computers)
for history, these 2 add-ons and all other stuff in Options. The only difference is that on 1 pc sessions can be saved and closed tabs can be reopened, on other main pc they stopped to work. + no any other add-on that does similar things works on this pc.
It is also interesting that I can reopen closed visited sites from History Panel, but not by pressing the Button. For now I only manually bookmark links to a temporary folder.
Recently (some 2 month ago) I pressed x and Firefox closed all tabs without saving them without displaying save & quit pop up.
so I changed 4 settings in about.config
browser.tabs.warn on close true
browser.warn on quit true
browser.warn on restart true
browser.show.quit warning true
but the problem with sessions appeared only 1 week ago.
So I guess the problem is not with the History settings or other settings. Seems that something responsible for button or for storing info about tabs/sessions got corrupted. :(

The options under privacy panel allow no choices on cookies e.g. blocking 3rd party cookies. how can I block 3rd party cookies?

running firefox 4.0.1. windows vista
On another computer, I have a different layout on privacy panel with options to block 3rd party cookies. I run the same systems as indicated above.

At the top of the privacy panel, choose "Use custom settings for history", and you will then be able to set the cookie settings however you like them.

Where can I enter my Firefox sync recovery key?

Where can I enter my Firefox sync recovery key?

hello, you could try this "hack" to get a new firefox version to connect to an old sync account:
enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), right-click somewhere in that page & create a new string preference named '''services.sync.username'''with a value like '''fake'''.
afterwards you should be able to connect to the old account through the firefox options > sync panel. if this worked and you could import your data successfully, please migrate to the new sync afterwards: [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]

I'm having a problem where Firefox keeps asking for my Amazon password, even though I tell Firefox NOT to remember this password. In Firefox options, Amazon is clearly listed as a site for which not to save passwords.

Where is Editor Panel submenu?

I'm working my way through the Auditon CS6 Classroom In A Book and am stuck on page 46 where it says to "Click on the Editor panel drop-down submenu." This is supposed to show a list of recently loaded files into Audition. - I see the pull-down menu on the Editor panel tab that shows files that are currently loaded, but I do not see a 'submenu' or help files or clues when searching help or online help. I hope someone here can help me with this. Naturally, the book thinks I'm supposed to know where this is without telling me.
TIA,
Ken

A 'twirldown' would be a triangle that is, when closed, is pointing horizontally, and, when opened, points downward disclosing the contents under that heading, that is my understanding of it anyway. The triangle on the tab of the Editor panel is already pointing down and when clicked on, opens the pull-down menu disclosing which files are already open. It also offers the options to close one or all of those files. This 'submenu' is what they may be (most likely are) referring to, and I think it is actually the pull-down menu of files that are already opened. The error in the book is where it says to choose a file that is already opened that had not been opened in steps leading up to this point. I believe this is where there is an actual error, in the book, so, all I needed do to open the file they are referring to is to go into the Media Browser pane, select the file they wanted opened and open it from there.
Also, in the book, in one paragraph they call this menu a 'Pulldown' then they go on into the next paragraph and call it a 'submenu.'
Thanks for helping me stay out of the asylum for beginners trying to learn from an otherwise excellent book.
