Why does firefox repeatedly send message stating reset link has been sent to email when it never is sent

I'm trying to log in to my account. Firefox says my password is invalid. Firefox also says it has sent a reset link to my email. That reset link never arrives although I repeatedly ask to sent the link, and Firefox repeatedly indicates that link has been successfully sent.

    Why does my ipod keep saying 'your apple ID has been disabled when i try to get a free app???

    If you rest it on your computer's iTunes then try logging out of your account on the iPod by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.

  • Why does Firefox repeatedly open new tabs when I open a .php file?

    Hey guys!
    I do web development and design. I've just set up my PC (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) and installed my choice of software.
    On the .php files I set Firefox as the default software to open with but now it opens about 50 odd tabs in the space of 3 seconds. How do I fix this?
    Kind regards,
    -Trey

    You've hit a bug that happens when you set Firefox as the external "helper" application used to open a type of file (the "Warning!" paragraph [http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Setting_an_automatic_action here] links to the related bug reports, if you're interested).
    See [[Firefox repeatedly opens empty tabs or windows after you click on a link]] for how to fix this.

  • Why does Firefox tell me the page I am on page contains unencrypted info when on https address

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [[/questions/849608]]</blockquote>
    When I used a Safari "https", I was never warned that I had requested a page containing unencrypted information. Why does Foxfire warn me when I am on a supposedly secure link with Bank of America? Why does it say that info I enter can easily be read by 3rd parties? Thank you, David Verch

    That is usually by doing a request for images or other files via an insecure HTTP link.
    You can test that with the Live HTTP Headers extension if you want to verify that.
    *Live Http Headers: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/live-http-headers/
    Open the Live HTTP Headers extension via the Tools menu and open the Generator pane.<br />
    Tick all the boxes in the Show panel at the right and do a hard reload via "Command + Shift + R"

  • Why does Firefox need to see what websites i have been to and turn on the camera without my knowing?It seems the permissions are getting too intrusive.

    I have always liked Firefox the best of all browsers, but will not be installing it on any mobile devices if it really can do whatever it wants to do like it seems from the permissions screen.

    hello, these permissions are used to allow the import of the history from other browsers & for the [https://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/04/taking-pictures-with-the-camera-api-part-of-webapi/ camera api] - please also refer to the following article which explains all the permissions: [[How does Firefox for Android use the permissions it requests?]]

  • WHY does Firefox repeatedly open multiple copies of tabs that are already open??? Yesterday I cleared the history, removed the program & reinstalled. Didn't help. Some tabs are ones I had months ago but don't need now. They keep appearing. HELP, please!

    The problem started several months ago, after I downloaded a new version of the program. Two updates ago, I think. The repeat tabs open multiple times during the day. Sometimes they appear hours after I've closed them--sometimes just minutes later.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • Why does FireFox truncate part of an E-mail of more than one page when I try to print it out? How can I sent an E-mail blaet to several but only show one name o

    When I try to print out an E-mail that is longer than one page, part of the 2nd page is truncated. I then have to go to Safari to print out the entire E-mail without part of it being truncated.
    When I have multiple E-mail addresses on a single E-mail, how can I send the E-mail so that each recipient only sees his/her name and E-mail address rather than everyone else that the E-mail is addressed to?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.
    Bill Leete

    Some style rules that Firefox handles well on the screen can cause this problem. Many email sites have a print button which simplifies the message format and removes navigation elements, etc., and Firefox generally handles print-formatted pages better. If your email site doesn't have print-formatted pages or those do not print, a "hack" is to select the text you want to print and then choose the Selection option in the print dialog.
    To hide email addresses from recipients, you need to place them in the BCC field. What do you put in the TO field in that case? You can use your own address.

  • Why does Firefox re-download a web page that has already appeared in my browser? VERY time-consuming! Chrome just saves from the cache!

    Every time I go to save a web page or image, Firefox insists on re-downloading the page/image, which consumes a great deal of time. Chrome (and my other browsers) seem to save the item directly from the cache or memory, which is MUCH FASTER! Is there an option to make Firefox save more rapidly, ie directly from cache or memory, so I don't have to sit (and swear and fume) while the file is being RE-downloaded??

    600+ MB does sound like a lot, but that depends on what you are using as your homepage, and how much of that 600 is being used by the plugin container - Flash and other plugins. Also, using that amount might have to do with how much RAM you have installed - the more RAM installed and the more Firefox allows itself to use. If you have AVG 2012 installed and the AVG Advsior is giving you that message, see this: <br />

  • Why does Firefox 22 work so poorly with the latest version of Yahoo Email??

    I cannot open some folders, I cannot open some emails, so under Firefox 22 I find the newest version
    of Yahoo Email is crippled. Under Firefox 21, the same email functions quite a bit better.

    Please update to the current Firefox 22.0 release.

    The Firefox 21 version that you currently run is no longer supported with security updates.
    *It is important to update Firefox and add-ons to the latest version to get all security fixes.
    You can try basic steps like these in case of issues with web pages:
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

    As it would with any App once you have purchased it.  Once you buy something in the App store it is linked to your AppleID - you can redownload as many times as you wish or need to, install it on other machines without paying again, restore a machine as needed without paying again, and so on.  The "buy" changes to "download" since you will not pay to re-download anything once you have boutht the license for it.
