Webmaster Forum / Browsers / Mozilla Firefox / July 2008

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this.
I'm using Firefox in a Ubuntu distro.  I have added the sql database add-
on, where I keep important information.
I need to transfer all my settings from one computer to another.  Does

A query.  I use a private library and, via its website, I have access to a
range of internet sources to which they subscribe.  To use these services
they supply some software called "multiresource client".  It worked fine
till I upgraded to F'fox 2.0.0.16 - won't work at all now.

Gave Firefox a try yesterday.  The most annoying thing was the long
accesses to the hard drive that were going on all the time in the
background.  When I exit Firefox, it stops.  What up with that ?
I can see why some people's hard drives fail if they use programs

so I downloaded Firefox 3.0, and now hotmail/live mail only works in the
crippled classic version. The advanced version won't load.
I've already tried cleaning my cache and cookies, but to no avail, I
keep getting an error during login, and only classic version.

When I open FF3, I get a message saying firefox is already running and that
I have to close the existing window. I have looked at the Mozilla help for
this and it tells me to delete the lock file. When I try that it, it says
the file is unreadable or corrupted. I've checked the ...

I have been having trouble with FF3 on my laptop, no problem on the
desktop.  My laptop is running Vista Home Premium and the desktop is
running w2k Pro.  I have been having trouble sending passwords on
Craigslist.com and my zip code at Staples.com.  I have been having similar

Well its offical, I have renounced FF3 for its predicessor FF2
Best choice I ever made

Does everybody using Fx have problems with IMDb (I think any of the
servers), or is it just me? (Tried safe-mode already, same thing.)
It looks as if they've deleted the CSS, and all I get is standard HTML.
Looks ugly as hell. Noteworthy is that IMDb isn't exactly known for

I do not want to keep a bunch of cookies, cluttering up my HD.  I do,
however, want to keep critical cookies.  I have one in particular I want
saved from a specific web site and have the site in my exceptions to accept
them, but it deletes them when I shut down.  Is there a way to ...

Have been  using Thunderbird for many months with no problems.Recently when
messages are being downloaded from the mail server, the mails start being
received(the green progress bar starts moving)and then hangs up completely.
Have to shut it down and restart the computer. No problem ...

In Firefox, (both versions 2.x and 3.x) I often print shipping labels
(from PayPal). The International labels use a Java applet to do the
printing and this applet hangs with Firefox. The only way out is to
just kill FF from taskmanager.

For some reason, my Mozilla Thunderbird is sending to my "Send"
subdirectory, emails that are NOT what I send out.  The receiver gets
the right email and if I send myself a copy of the same email I get the
right email, but when I look in my "Send" subdirectory, the same email

Have several address books in Thunderbird, would like to delete those that
are not used. When I highlight the address book to delete, the 'delete'
function is greyed out.
How do I delete these books ?
