When I open firefox, it goes to what I closed it as.
I want it to open my home page and nothing else.
Not the stuff I closed it with.
How do I do that? thanks.
I'm using Firefox 8.0 and am enjoying the Group your tabs feature:
But I'm not always good at keeping it organized. I'm trying to find a way to automatically put certain domains in certain groups. Probably through a plug-in? All the tab related plug-ins just help cluster your tabs together and don't actually work with the "Group your tabs" feature (which is why I posted the picture, to avoid ambiguity, since grouping tabs can refer to a lot of things).
This may seem like a dumb question but how do I stop Firefox from opening up a Google search in a new tab?
I usually open a new tab first before searching and if I don't then I don't want it open in a new tab.
I have already turned 'smooth scrolling' on and have downloaded a plugin called 'smooth scrolling'.
Whenever I scroll down, the browser movement is very jerky and slow. It is pretty much unusable.
However, scrolling in a div with overflow: auto (like the related questions div above the question input textarea) scrolls fine.
I am using Windows XP freshly installed with Firefox3.5.1
Anyone have any solutions?
I'm assuming that most, if not all, the extensions and changes to the userchrome.css will work on Ubuntu Netbook, so I'm looking for a simple way to transfer them all from my primary Vista OS to my Ubuntu Netbook OS, on the same machine. It also has to be free. I am the most current stable build of Firefox3.6.5 on both systems.
My dual-boot computer is fubar but I can log into Linux and see the Windows filesystem.
One of the biggest losses is all of the passwords I had stored for sites in Firefox.
Is there any way to retrieve these by digging around in the Windows filesystem?
Normally firefox and other browsers allow users to set an exclusive list in which proxy won't apply to the specified domain names or ip addresses? My question is that how to do it other way around to specify only the domains to let the proxy to apply to?
Hi guys, I've hidden everything on my firefox browser (menu, Toolbar, etc) so that i only have the browser window. Unfortunately, I don't know how to get them back. I've done right click on the title bar, the Tab, nothing. Any idea on how to restore it? See screen shot.
Where can I find the key combinations for some actions, in Mozilla Firefox? For example, Ctrl+L moves the cursor to the address bar. I wanna move the cursor in the Google search box, from the right-top position. Which key is associated with this? And some other key combinations?
How do I reassign the keyboard shortcuts for firefox? I want to use ctrl+right/lift to switch tabs. Is there a plugin for this, if FF doesn't support this natively?
Since version 4.0b7pre, there is no more statusbar in Firefox, which has been replaced by the new add-ons bar.
The main problem is that a lot of users like me are missing some valuable information that was displayed in the statusbar on previous versions. For instance, when hovering a link the url is now displayed in the address bar and you can't see the entire address. Other information like which servers are being contacted when you load a page are no longer displayed.
XP3
Firefox3.6.9
The Superuser and other sites state that I don't have Javascript enabled. I also am unable to view certain videos on the web and they say that I must have Javascript enabled.
I have searched the net and followed instructions as to enable this, but still no joy.
Can anyone point me to a solution?
Thanks,
Regards,

My question is pretty self-explanatory. I prefer firefox, but my organization send out intranet links that simply work better in IE. Is there a way to do this?
I used to have this add-on but now I forgot what it's called. Basically it can track any website's load time, DNS seeking time, time from host to javascript execution and HTML rendering, things like that.
Got any suggestions for such an add-on for Firefox? Thanks.
I am wondering if there is a way in FireFox 10.0.7 to set the it so every time I click on a link it opens it in a new tab. I went to configuration mania and options and could not find it anywhere. I also checked on the about:config and found the browser.link.open_newwindow but was unsure what to change the value to to set it so new tabs are opened every time a link is clicked on. Thanks to whomever might help.
If you authenticate on a site using the popup dialog style of login in IE, even if you have the highest level of privacy set in IE, the passwords persist from one session to the next.
This does not seem to be true in Firefox.
Is there a way to delete those passwords in IE?
Hello,
I know that CTRL + PgUp/PgDn will switch to next or previous tab in Firefox. But I would much prefer to use F2/F3 for the same purpose (ala old Maxthon behaviour).
Is it possible ?
Thanks in advance ;)
Since Firefox 7 (or 6?) they silently removed "http" from the address bar. Previously, when you clicked it, "http" showed up again, allowing to easily just change http into https.
So far, I found two ways to get it back, but isn't there a setting I can use to have it permanently in vision again, or at least when I click it?
Way 1: copy selection and paste it again
Way 2: type the whole scheme again in front of the address

My ThinkPad notebook has "next page" and "previous page" buttons right next to the cursor keys.
While writing code (sometimes in textareas on pages such as StackOverflow) accidentally hitting one of these keys is very annoying - either you navigate away or you get the "do you really want to navigate way" prompt.
I never use those keys anyway so I wonder if there's an option in Firefox to ignore those keys.
An option to remap them globally or simply disable them would (OS: Windows 7) be fine, too.

Suppose I'm in the Firefox's "search box" at the bottom of the screen.
The searched string is an anchor in a page I'm using. This searched string is an anchor, that I have to take my hands off the keyboard and use the mouse to select this anchor.
Is possible to just press enter to acomplish this, or maybe a shortcut in this context? A plugin? Thanks!
There are methods for making a firefox window semi-transparent so that other windows will show up in the background, but is it possible to make a tab semi-transparent so that another tab could show in the background?
