Why does Firefox 20 stop my appearance add-on from working, even if it is private browsing, so what?

Read the question.

Personas should work just fine in the normal browsing mode, where Private Browsing mode does disable Personas - ''for now''. A Bug has been filed about that issue, and it looks like it will be rectified in Firefox 23 ''(or sooner)''.

  • Why does my content seem to appear 1 inch from original position?!

    Hey guys,
    I've done a little web design before, but it's not my forte!
    Here's my problem...
    The main creation of the website was done on Photoshop, where I then used the Slice Tool to create the main html page.
    I'm now dropping the content of the website - images/text etc - by drawing a layer for each piece and inserting them inside.  The problem I get when I do this is when I view it in any browser these layers with the content seem to appear approx 1inch from their original position in Design View.
    Any ideas why this happens?
    Cheers,
    James

  • Why does Firefox not open my windows and tabs from last time until I have tried starting 3 or 4 times?

    I have this problem with opening Firefox:
    My Startup options are set to "When Firefox starts: Show my windows and tabs from last time"
    However, each time I start Firefox, by clicking the icon in the Taskbar, it opens with a single blank tab.
    I repeat this using "Open New Window" and when I have up to 3 windows, all with single blank tabs open, I close them all. Once more I use "Open New Window" which only then opens with my windows and tabs from last time.
    Naturally, this induces initial panic each time, because I dread the thought of losing all my current tabs.
    What is going on here?
    How can I fix it?
    < Firefox 27.0.1 with Windows 7 Home Premium.>

    This started happening to me with the upgrade to v30. Previously, new windows did the proper thing of showing previous tabs/windows.
    I have history on, not in private mode, and have cleared cache.

  • Why does firefox download stop at 61%

    I am running windows 7 ultimate. Why I try to download firefox the files start to extract but stop at 61%.
    Tried turning off windows firewall but did not help.

    Oh, oh, oh! That's my fault. I thought you were talking about downloads in Firefox weren't working. Sorry!
    I'm assuming you downloaded from www.getfirefox.com. You can try the full setup file and not the Stub exe offered on the Mozilla site

  • Why does Firefox Mobile stop loading when using VPN?

    When I'm connected to Private Internet Access VPN on my phone (using their app in the play store) occasionally Firefox gets into a state in which no webpages can be loaded. I can fix the problem in one of two ways: (1) use Google Chrome for Android or any other app that uses the internet or (2) disconnect from VPN and use Firefox without that protection. Sometimes when I reconnect to VPN, Firefox pages will load again but sometimes not.
    The loading bar in Firefox Mobile always gets stuck in the same spot, which I am thinking could be diagnosed to determine which part of the http protocol it might be stuck at. I am hoping I can attach a screenshot.
    I really believe in what you guys are doing. Keep fighting the good fight.

    It could possibly be that the dns is failing, but to be sure there would need to be a log and need to be tested on lte and wireless to see if its consistent.

  • Why does Firefox want a reboot done to complete an update even though no update has been done?

    Every time I try to start Firefox, it gives a message that a reboot is necessary to complete a previous update (I've rebooted 3 times). I decided I would uninstall Firefox and then reinstall it. When I try to uninstall Firefox, I get the same message about rebooting, so I am unable to uninstall.

    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in Safe Mode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    If Firefox opens under Safe Mode, then reset Firefox. The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Why does Firefox not respond to any commands (it wouldn't even want to close) when I try to watch a stremline video from a webpage although all video-plugins are updated? The problem occured spontaneously, no changes were made to the system/settings.

    Firefox does not crash but it 'freezes'. I cannot do anything with it then (it may be closed only from the task manager). Upon each subsequent opening the problem reappears (the fourth day in a row).

    Haroon mentions two solutions. I used the easier one, which is to start the Apache webserver already in Mountain Lion and to enable the php already in Mountain Lion. It worked. I see the file correctly displayed with html, css, and php. I see the page by using Firefox. I enter an address in the address bar. For example, the address might be "localhost/example/example.php". I cannot see the page by using Firefox's "Open File ..." menu option or by dragging the file's icon onto Firefox's icon. I tried using your solution also but was unable to find the specific preference to modify. I found the page of preferences which may be modified but I could not find the one I need. I found a list of descriptions of the preferences at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries
    but I could not find the specific preference which I need.
    By the way, to enable loading the php module, one uncomments a line of code by deleting the initial "#" character, and one does that by pressing control key and "P" key while the cursor is over the "#" character.
    Also by the way, when I use Firefox or Safari to look at the Apache web directory in which my files are, the files are listed case sensitively. For example, the files are listed: Ace, Zygote, bar. This is because lower case follows upper case. THis annoys me. I prefer case insensitive listing. When I llok directly athe directory without using a browser, the files are listed case insensitively. For example, they are listed: Ace, bar, Zygote. I guess taht Apache is doing this.

  • Why does my slideshow stop on my live site, but works fine in test?

    I have an auto-play slideshow of 7 images that stops after 4 on our live
    website. If you click the arrow to advance, the next three images never
    load.
    http://www.baidesign.com/our-process.html
    However, when I test it—preview page and business catalyst— it plays through
    to 7, then replays (what I want)
    http://baitestsite.businesscatalyst.com/our-process.html
    I have tried rebuilding it, but that didn't help. Can't think of anything.
    The whole site is full of slideshows. Other than the horizontal transition,
    this one is not much different. I have checked the file names of the images
    and updated the assets.
    Please help! We would like to announce the new website to our clients.

    Hello
    If the slideshow is working fine in Business Catalyst and not on another (external) host, the issue may be with the upload not being completely successful, or the host itself. Please make sure it's not an upload issue, by reuploading the site again with "all files" selected in the upload option. If that doesn't resolve the issue, then have your host "reset the FTP permissions" for you and then reupload the site to see if that fixes the issue.
    Cheers

  • Why does my recording stop when I navigate away from AA3?

    I noticed recently that when I navigate away from AA3, my recording stops. This is extremely inconvenient. How do I fix it?

    Well, the first thing to do is go to Edit/Audio Hardware Setup and make sure the box beside "Release ASIO Driver in Background" is NOT ticked.
    However, when using ASIO drivers remember that you can't have mutliple pieces of software trying to use the driver at the same time.  This is a restriction of ASIO itself and not an Audition restriction.

  • Why does Firefox take so long to load beta images on some sites?

    I upgraded to one of the latest versions of Firefox, and it's better in some ways. It loads much faster than previous versions, but when I try to look at certain websites - the Globe and Mail is one of them - I get messages like "waiting for beta images" and Firefox just sits there and I can't look at the site. Why does Firefox take so long to upload beta images? I don't have that problem with Internet Explorer.

  • Why does Firefox have to make it so difficult to get answers--I am not going to be able to check the website to see what anyone might reply to my question on crashing?

    I have no way of checking to see if anyone answers this. Why does Firefox have to make it so difficult?
    What does this means: DLL C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\MOZCRT19.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.
    Suddenly all my tabs closed. Then Windows told me I had a gazillion infections. Then a tiny strip appeared saying it was Firefox and these little blocks started to fill up the little strip as if it were downloading something--there was no way to cancel this so I cut the power. Now when I try to use the Firefox icon, I get the message above.
    Am I supposed to remove the old Firefox stuff and start from scratch? I am stuck using Internet Explorer.
    I went to the Firefox website and tried to download it again, but McAffee jumped in and said there is something wrong with Firefox and I should register with them that I am downloading Firefox (I do not have McAffee). Then I got a security warning saying Firefox is not safe.
    I am completely at a loss as to what to do next, since I don't understand any of this mumbojumbo.

    Here's the story on one of your infections, namely JS:Redirector-EH[Trj]: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Trojan%3aJS%2fRedirector.H
    The main problem with malware is that it uses the installation to proliferate by contacting hostile servers to download more of the same rogue code.
    Firefox doesn't have the option to "Run" a file. You can only "Save File" or "Cancel". If you downloaded it with IE8, then yes, you can run it, but that's not what I wanted you to do.
    What you should do now is to disable System Restore. You can open System Properties by hitting the Windows logo key and Pause/Break key together. Then click the "System Restore" tab. Then checkmark the box which says "''Turn off System Restore on all drives''". Reboot to clear its contents. System Restore unfortunately makes a backup of all executables which includes viruses so that when you reboot without deleting them first, System Restore reinstates them again.
    After you complete that step, run Avast and Malwarebytes again to make sure the system is clean.
    Then go to the Windows Update site (link on your start menu) and install the missing patches which enabled your machine to become infected in the first place.
    Once the system is clean, repeat step one to download Firefox again, but please do not run the file. If you don't see the option to "Save File", cancel the download, but it should be there. You can use this direct download link to download FF4.0.1 [http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-4.0.1&os=win&lang=en-US Download Firefox 4.0.1]

  • Why does firefox time out so often? slows down my working

    Why does firefox time out so often. I can be in the middle of something and it just stops. did it as I am trying to write this note. very frustrating! It either times out or freezes. the former happens more often. I can be on the web or on yahoo mail.

    The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
    Try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 255 to a setting like 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

  • Want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through a long procedure each time

    I want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through the long tedious procedure each time I install firefox. It is something that should be in the options tab , and I want to know why it isn't. I am totally frustrated with firefox and getting ready to switch.

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
