Why does Firefox show euro for every currency even if I want to see info in dollars/yen, etc?

When I browse a site with prices - eg a travel site , the browser always shows the euro symbol rather than the dollar symbol or whatever currency it should be! Is there a fix for this?

hello,
can you advise me how i can use a euro symbol in a query? and is it possible to switch currency symbols back and forth?
i do not have a proxy extension installed.
using firefox 3.6.17, windows 7 pro
thanks!

Why does firefox show up as a plugin on volume mixer?

Why does firefox show up as a plugin on volume mixer? After updating a flash plugin into firefox (when it had requested me to update it), it no longer shows up as firefox in volume mixer. It now shows up as some plugin icon. I really don't understand this, and wish it to be the firefox icon again. What is going on and what happened? It names itself "Plugin Container For Firefox" What does that mean? It has been this way ever since, and nothing I have done has fixed this. Restarting, refreshing, reinstalling, clearing cache, etc. Can anyone think of something please? :(
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== This happened just a couple days ago (june 25, 2010 exactly)

I have this, but my volume on firefox doesnt work at all

Why does firefox drop support for a plugin with an update

Why the H*ll does Firefox drop support for a plugin when there is an update in Firefox.
FF4 has reported that 6 of my plugins that work fine in 3.6 are now not supported. !! This is a joke, and happens regularly.
As a user (a highly IT literate one) this is annoying and frustrating, and from a design standpoint, unprofessional.

Plugins as in Flash, Java, quicktime or such or do you mean Extensions ?
Plenty of Plugins seems to be detected and in use by Firefox 4.0 just fine according to your system details by your post.
If you meant Extensions then check for updates, look at addons.mozilla.org or the Extension homepage for to see if the author has provided a update.
Generally Extensions can need anywhere from a simple maxversion bump to a lot more for it to work properly on a new Major version of Firefox depending on what the Extension does.
It is professional actually as extensions that were not actually compatible may actually cause problems big or small if they were to still just ''work'' in a new Major version release so hence the need for them to be properly up to date on any changes and hopefully the extension author is quick about it.

Why does Firefox show my website as an untrusted connection?

I recently switched my website to https and now Firefox show my site at www.bizniznet.co.za as an untrusted connection. This can have an unwanted impact on my website and cost me clients. This does not happen every time I open my site as Firefox is my default connection to the internet.
I need this sorted out because this is a business website and it reflects badly. Could you please assist?

Why does Firefox show different information than IE on a website

I went to this link and it is not the same on Firefox as it is on IE (Firefox shows Pre-forclosure, IE shows Off Market). What am I doing wrong? http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2458-Hopewell-Rd-Wentzville-MO-63385/2574631_zpid/

I see off-market in Firefox. It's likely the steps at [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]] will help you.

Why does firefox keep asking for permission every time it starts, it never has before?

I'm using Windows 7 and recently used CCleaner to clean my registry and now Firefox asks for permission to make changes to my computer every time it starts. I have checked for viruses and malware, tried running Firefox as the administrator, removed all but one of my add-ons but nothing helps. Any suggestions?

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator. 
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties". 
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected. 
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory. 
If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

Why does Firefox now ask for my master password every time I check my gmail account? Sometimes, but not always, for my Yahoo mail account. Never did this before. Thank you.

Don't know how to add any more details.

Why does firefox corrupt my bookmarks every time I load it on a different computer?

I found that a number of people have asked how to recover their bookmarks, but my question is why do I have to do it every day? I work on three different computers, and I love Firefox and have it as my default browser on each one. However, I had to turn on syncing bookmarks because every time I logged onto a different computer than the last one I used, sync screwed up my bookmarks, mostly by duplicating folders, but sometimes by emptying them. Now, the entire file doesn't (usually) get corrupted, although today it did, but opening Firefox on a different computer always adds a couple of folders that weren't there before.
Now, I back up my bookmarks manually every day on each computer using the "backup" option with "show all bookmarks" and also with FEBE, which is terrific. (FEBE has helped me recover multiple crashed Firefox installations -- but frequent crashed Firefox installations is another problem). So, I don't need to know how to save/preserve my bookmarks.
I'm just wondering why Mozilla doesn't fix this persistent problem?

Sync unfortunately is known to sometimes corrupt or duplicate bookmarks. I had hoped it may have been fixed with the New Sync but apparently not.

Why does Firefox show up as a drive?

I'm still new to Mac so please explain this to me as easily as you can. So i just installed Firefox then i dragged the icon to the bar on the bottom of the screen. But when I want to use Firefox it appears as a drive on the desktop. It does this when i open Windows Messenger for Mac too but I don't know what to do to make it not appear as a drive. Please help.

Hi Roboman,
Open the .dmg file containing the Firefox installer (the .dmg is the file you downloaded from Mozilla's webpage) - the drive image will mount on your Desktop. Drag the Firefox icon here into your Macintosh HD > Applications folder.
Trash the Firefox icon currently sitting in your Dock (click and drag to the Trash) and open Firefox from your Applications folder.
It sounds like the shortcut currently sitting in your Dock is currently linked to the Firefox installer inside the downloaded disk image - this is why it could be appearing as a drive on the Desktop. The .dmg needs to mount the drive image in order to run Firefox the way you currently have it set.
Hope this helps,
Steve

Why does Firefox 29.x crashes every time I click a download file link?

Immediately after automatically updated to Firefox 29.0 every single time I click a link to download any file, Firefox crashes. It also crashes when using cPanel (cPanel sometimes opens windows in a frame, or at least that's how in appears). Please see the most recent crash report below:
bp-72a0abfb-2dfb-419d-85e8-c260c2140508
bp-116890c7-2849-4ffd-aa1c-629562140508
I tried the following, which did not help:
* Reset the profile
* Turn off hardware acceleration
* Remove and download list (downloads sqlite)
I sure would appreciate any help.
Thank you!

Why does Firefox show a red screen briefly on startup?

Whenever I start Firefox on my laptop, it briefly shows a red screen before heading to my home page. Is this normal for the browser now or should I be looking at my hardware rather than the software?

That may be related to Firefox switching to hardware acceleration. If the screen buffer that is used isn't empty then you may see older content of it displayed until that screen buffer is cleared.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

Why does Firefox show a little triangle in the form field ?

I setup a form and my client wants rounded corners and a background-image for the fields.
It looks well in IE, but with Firefox i get a little white triangle in the left bottom corner of the fields.
I looked at all the CSS for the field for conflicting settings, but could not find any.
Can you help me with this ?

It looks that there is some problem with the CSS code for the bottom of those fields and that the bottom right corner is shown in that position.
Maybe you can post a minimized code example that shows this issue.

Why does firefox change my homepage every time I open it?

I want hotsheet.com to be my permanent default every time I open firefox.

Hello howsue, in your system details it seems that you have in your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Windows profile folder] a [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file User.js] file. The user.js file does not exist by default. If you create the file, forget it, if you have not create the file then try to delete the User.js file, to see if the problem goes away (some programs create the file also).
thank you
