Mozilla Firefox Technical Support

[quote=RockSteadyVybes;21932]I'm not sure if I asked this already but I'm still having the problem. My brother and his fiance use my computer all the time and Firefox 3.0 autotypes my personal bookmarks in when you are entering a URL. How can I make it STOP doing that?? It only does it for things I have saved, but I just don't want them to see where I go or what I type where. Any ideas of how to make it not be annoying? lol[/quote] [B]Completely disable the autocomplete list so roommates do not pull up your **** bookmarks. [/B] If you would rather not have Firefox display autocomplete results at all: [LIST=1] [*] In the Location bar, type [B]about:config[/B], and press EnterReturn. [LIST] [*] The about:config [I]"This might void your warranty!"[/I] warning page may appear. Click [LEFT]I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.[/LEFT] [/LIST] [*] Search for the preference browser.urlbar.maxRichResults. [*] Double-click the browser.urlbar.maxRichResults preference and enter a value of -1. [*] From the menu at the top of the Firefox windowbar, select FileFirefox and then select the ExitQuit FirefoxQuit menu item. [*] Restart Firefox again. [/LIST] Now when you type in the Location bar, no list of results will be shown.

I just upgraded to Firefox tonight:blush: And well, I'm a believer :D

I have never tried forefox because my Hubbie put it on his computer once and it really slowed it down and made it all whacked out.

yea i think firefox is def. one of the best browser, it has the best add-ons and it speeds up webpage loading to the fullest.

So do I delete the IE or leave it?? After I download Firefox??

[quote=stacee_danielle;24082]So do I delete the IE or leave it?? After I download Firefox??[/quote] I just asked V1 the same thing last night. He said IE won't do any harm just sitting there doing nothing. I just threw it in the recycle bin.

Yeah having both won't hurt anything. It just depends on how much memory your computer has before it starts running a little slower. I kept my I.E. though, because it has things firefox doesn't and firefox has things I.E. doesn't. However, it's your choice.

I am so scared of change when it somes to my computer...But I think I might try it eventually.

BUT...be ready for the questions if I get confused

[quote=goldenwarrior63;18832]Awesome I tend to use FF over most of my other browsers and on a side note on a re-run of the Colbert Report the mentioned FF3. Another reason to switch, it now has the Colbert bump behind it![/quote] I am up on FF3 right now...woohooo!! It is so much faster! Gw I love the Colbert Report...he is awesome :)

[QUOTE=LilysMom;24623]I am up on FF3 right now...woohooo!! It is so much faster! Gw I love the Colbert Report...he is awesome :)[/QUOTE] I KNOW!!! I got with the program yesterday while I was at home sick...Bacchus helped me. I really like it and all, but I can't seem to install the flash player...that is a job for tonight when I get off work. I like that it has spell check on it automatically though, LOL

When i went on to the first page of SYTYCD thread a pop up on the top of the screen said install missing plugins and it was the flash player, so maybe it will do the same for you!:)

One of my favorite add ons is the back to top, it puts little arrows on the bottom bar that lets you go straight to the top or bottom and I use them so much on Vevmo.

I decided to post here about my problem since my last plea for help fell on deaf ears :P Anyway as much as I love Firefox it has been annoying me as of late. Many of the stuff I bookmark disappears whenever I restart it and when I try to get to the history it freezes...then again it freezes alot now. Can anyone hellpppppp?

The reason I ask is because the more extensions you use, the slower firefox will run and the more likely it will be to crash (as these are third party applications that are not bug tested by mozilla.) [URL="http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions"]Problematic extensions[/URL]

Yeah I have been having problems as well...the only reason I really open it is for vevmo...other than that, I still use IE. I can't see any videos on FF and I have downloaded every possible plug in you can imagine...I think the only videos I can see are youtube videos. I can't watch TMZ or Perez Hilton videos.

Which I can handle but then the bookmarks erase after every restart.
