Why the flat firefox image on the start page with WASD when clicked?

When you select home, the normal firefox icon flashes on and is replaced with a slightly tilted image with another small character to the left of the foxes head and the words Click Me! If clicked, the same image now has the letters WASD and a key appears in the center of the world where the fox is wrapped around. I have not seen this until updating to the latest verson 33.

When I read on the page info, I found that the logo "redirect" and follows your internet activity. I think that Mozilla ought to be a bit more forthcoming here. I want to disable that 'promo' or spyware, whatever it is.

Why won't Firefox open an site in a new tab when clicked on in Google?

When I was in Google and would click on a site to open, it would open in the tab I was on rather than opening in a new tab. It used to do so.
So if I go to the site and it's not the one that answers my question, rather than clicking on the back button, I have to go back and click on my Google Bookmark.
It's annoying because everytime you open Google, you get a different set of sites to access.
Today, the word I was Googling was kfeeders.

Thanks but perhaps I didn't explain the problem well.
I was on the Google page, and put in the item I was searching for, clicked search and got a page or many pages of potential sites that would fit my query. But if I clicked on one of the sites, I couldn't click back to the Google page, the back arrow was gray. It doesn't happen all the time, only occasionally. Guess it's just a problem with some sites.

Just downloaded Firefox 4. Running Windows XP. Some of the new features are mising such as the new "Firefox Button" and the new location for the bookmarks button. The look is almost like Firefox 3. Why is this happening?

Hi. I just downloaded Firefox 4. Some of the new features are missing such as the new "Firefox Button" and the new location for the bookmarks button. It almost looks just like Firefox 3. I am using Windows XP on this desktop computer. On my laptop, running Windows Vista, Firefox 4 has all the updates advertised. Why is this happening? How do I fix?
Thanks
Jamie

Thanks so much!

I keep getting the Firefox start page with Google search. How do I get my homepage back?

When I click the Mozilla Firefox icon, instead of my homepage I get a starter page with Google search. How can I get rid of the starter page and get my homepage back?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Started about a week and a half ago.

Hello Linda.
I fear your problem may be deeper than your homepage gone missing, but you can change your homepage easily by going into Tools > Options > General and entering the address you want in the "Home Page" field.
I should warn you, however, that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment is outdated and is no longer supported. Please install the latest version for maximum speed, security and functionality. It's completely free, as always. You can get it through Firefox update service (Help > Check for updates...) or at www.getfirefox.com

I just installed the new firefox for Mac OSX 10.6.8 and when I select an image on a site (right click and copy) and paste in Photoshop 5.5, the image lightens. It does not do this in Safari.

Firefox, Safari, and PhotoShop each handle embedded color profiles differently. For an add-on that makes it easier to experiment with Firefox's color management options, you might be interested in: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/color-management/ Color Management :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.

Why won't Firefox bring up the SmartZone Communications center so I can access my E-mail? I just downloaded the latest version of Firefox.

I have been using Firefox for many months. I just downloaded the new version and now it won't pull up my E-mail from the SmartZone Communications center. It indicates that it is loading but just remains in limbo.

OK, I can get Firefox 8 downloaded but then what do I do? The instructions say to move the Firefox image to the applications folder and then drag the icon from the folder to the dock. I don't know how to do this.

Why is it that I downloaded Firefox 4.0 but I do not have the orange firefox box in the upper left hand corner of screen. My screen still looks like the old verison of firefox. My screen does not look like the one in the video. looks nothing like the one

My Firefox 4.0 does not look anything like the videos you show about the features of the new Firefox. My screen looks totally different than yours. It does not have the orange box in the upper left hand corner of the screen. My screen still looks like the old version. I have the logo on the top of my screen with Ask a Question a vertical line Firefox Help - Mozilla Firefox.
Under this line I have File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. Below this line is a tab with Ask a Question Firefox Help and a +. My husbands screen looks identical to the orange Firefox Box in the upper left of screen. I would like my screen to look identical to the ones shown in your videos. I only have one version of Firefox 4.0 my husband does have the Firefox 4.0 plus the Beta version. How do I add the Beta version? I have Windows Vista running systems. Please help. Thank you

You're welcome

Why does my Firefox look like the ollder versions? - your examples show a new look with the orange tab in the top left hand corner

The examples shown for Firefox 4 and above show a browser with the orange Firefox tab on the top left corner.
In my case, the browser continues to look - and operate like the older versions.

Go to View (or just right-click on any empty space of Firefox's panels - for example, near the tabs) and turn off the Main Menu Panel. You'll see what you're looking for.

How do I stop the "Your Firefox is up to Date" page from loading after upgrading to ver. 6.0?

I upgraded from Firefox 3 point something or other (if I could remember exactly, I'd tell you) about 2 weeks ago to version 6.0. Thereafter, Firefox always starts up with two pages; one is a page declaring "Your Firefox is up to Date" and, on another tab, the default home page for Firefox. (the Google one)
It has continued to do that ever since, and I cannot find a way to stop the "Your Firefox is up to Date" page from loading at start-up.
I'm running a pc with WinXP Professional w/Service pak 3.

A suggestion for stopping the "Your Firefox is up to Date" page from loading at startup.
Use MozBackup for this; get it at http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/.
A good user friendly tutorial on it's use can be found at http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/2418/backup-your-mozilla-based-software-with-mozbackup/.
Download MozBackup and read through the howtogeek tutorial.
Exit Firefox.
Open MozBackup and start the procedure.
Follow the procedure except for a part where you RESTORE the profile; in the Components selection window in MozBackup, UNCHECK the "General settings" box (you remember the General tab in the Tools/Options window in Firefox where your homepage info is kept?)
Continue with the procedure to the end.
When you re-open Firefox, you should be getting the Google homepage without the "Your Firefox is up to Date" page.
Go to Tools/Options/Privacy tab. If it looks different than what it used to, ie: you used to have the option to not accept cookies, etc and now you don't, open the drop-down menu in the Hisory portion there and click on "Use custom settings for history", which will provide options for more control.

I deleted sessionstore.js from the profile and restarted Firefox but that did not help

Sounds like this bug:

Look at the more like this on the right column of the web page.
This is the most common error here.. we answer it 5-10times every day.
Simple method.. pull out the TC power cord .. count to 10.. plug in the TC power cord.
Look at the other references for more info.

How to get rid of the overlapped Firefox symbols on the taskbar

The large Firefox symbol on the left end of the task bar shows all windows being visited--including "private browsing" windows. This renders "private browsing" nearly useless imo. How can I remove this symbol?

I noticed there is an extension which lets you clear the title of the current page or replace it with other text. This seems to work equally well in private and non-private windows, however, it doesn't appear to have an option to automatically do it in all private windows. Maybe someone can add that feature (the author isn't maintaining the add-on any more).

Why is Elements 12 asking me to start a trial period when I already registered my product last year?

Why is Elements 12 asking me to start a trial period when I already registered my product last year?

Thx John - but the page did not provide a solution. I too am having the same problem. Simply, we are being ripped off blindly by Adobe, moreso in Australia where, because of geopricing by Adobe, we are forced to pay more for our software ...

Having just installed Firefox, I have a start page but not a home page.

I've just installed Firefox. When I start it from the desktop icon, I get a start page but cannot get to then Firefox home page. I have no Firefox button at top left.
How do I get the home page?

The home button just tales me to the start page and I don't know how to get the actual home page.
On the illustrations in the info pack, an orange Firefox button is shown in the top left. I can't get that either.
