Firefox problems

I installed Firefox 2 weeks ago. By and large OK, but 2 nagging problems:

1) While signing into Hotmail, even if I check the box that says 'Do not remember my e-mail address...", the next time my email address appears in the field.

2) When accessing my company intranet with Firefox, none of the 'buttons' or their secondary buttons work (Sorry, I don't know the correct terminology, but basically the site has buttons like Phone Directory. When you click on it, three additional buttons should slide out, saying UK directory, US directory, HK directory.) It works fine in Internet Exploder, but the buttons/links just don't show up or work with Firefox.

Can anyone help please? Thanks

Avin
 
1: you have remembering form contents turned on in FireFox. Turn it off.
2: The designers of the intranet page have very limited brain capacity and have made the page usable only in IE.

None of these is Firefox's fault.
 
Nodsu, thanks for the post. I had already turned 'remember forms' off (under Tools, Options, Privacy, Saved Form Information) - but this didn't help. Any other ideas?
 
I have been using FireFox for about 2 months now. Im really glad that I did. When I was using IE I just kept getting pop-ups and spyware. Whenever I would run Spybot or Adwear It would find like 36 things everyday.

2 weeks into running Firefox I ran Ad-wear. It found NOTHING! And im glad. I recommended Firefox to many people, and they are happy. Im glad I did my part. :bounce:
 
Wow that's strange I have always thought it was much quicker because it isn't a bloated as IE. Maybe try defragging and clearing out some temp files.
 
i use a different browser

it is not as popular as fire fox but it is just as good its called slimbrowser its flippin awesome
 
I don't understand..... I've never had a problem with IE on MY MACHINE. What are these holes you people talk about? Update your windows/IE, read Microsoft.com's security bulletins, quit going to porn sites, quit clicking on random links and stop following spam email links. I've used both browsers and could personally care less about firefox. It's like all you guys are on a band wagon or something, raging against some machine that quite honestly is as functional as firefox. It is true that IE has holes in it's security but so does Firefox. This reminds me of those guys who sit around and talk about how good Unix is and how they hacked the girls locker room with it. Just my 2 quarters, let the flameing begin.

Ugh - UNIX ..... we have it at work and it must be one of the most user unfriendly operating sysems ever invented..... I absolutely hate it.
 
I am a Lenovo/IBM lead technician. I often install Firefox for users that seem to be advanced browswers and hang out in all the wrong places.

The new V.2 of Firefox was designed by open source people to accomodate both XP ( NTFS Platform ) and Apple OSX and Linux ( Mandrake or Red Hat ) Users.

This browser has caused serious conflicts with certain antivirus GUI's
namely " PC-Cillin " and " PandaVirus Platinum " yet, by a source of Linux based writers. (Hmmm)

When you install the newer service packs IE7, and ect ect, you will create conflicts that make your PC run like you have spywarez or .exe Trojans. Mouse lockup. slow everything......... stick with you old stuff for now or revert to what you had.

MS-VISTA is a ripoff media edition of OSX ( and I hate apple pc's )

stick with your current working O/S..... and browsers.

if you have any questions by all means PM me ..... i am happy top share the news that we get 6 week in advance of the public on new releases of GUI's

Another stay away is Nero 7 . has a bunch of really cool tools. Too bad it crashes/freezes every other time.

Also be careful with updating your Ofiice XP Pro with the 2007 Student/Teacher edition cause you think your getting newer .... your gettin a new skin with about 20 new fonts, new skins, a newer 'looking' GUI and HALF the functionality.

I fix on average 10-20 IBM laptops per day and about the same in Desktops with all major brands on the desktops. At Lenovo we specialize in Lappyz

ask me anything and I'll give you the latest hardcore TRUTH.

I get popups in firefox. Don't know how to get rid of them. They read at the top of the page "Advertisement NSIS Media". I have checked my allowed popup pages and it is not on there. It isnt a page, just a random popup ad. Any help? MAybe some AdBlock help?
 
Firefox blues.

Despite numerous posting across the web, Mozilla/Firefox (or something) has disabled my ability to select and delete Download History, Saved Forms or Saved Passwords. Everything else seems to get deleted but when I go to "Tools" and "Clear Private Data" it's impossible to highlight these three items for deletion. Oddly, if I go to "Tools" then "Options" then "Settings," it appears that all of the items are checked and ready for deletion. Not the case when I actually go to delete them. This happens whether I check "Ask me before clearing private data" or not.

Got help?
 
Firefox is great. so is Thunderbird. go to Firefox Addons through the firefox browser and put in some excellent addons. :) Firefox Is Great.

If you get ads on FF get AdBlock Plus from the addon site, it's free and you can add specific ads etc :) oh and hit ctrl + Shift + del to clear private data: cookies saved forms etc. or set it upo to be removed when you close FF
