Ubuntu :: Home Page In Firefox Shows Private Files - Can't Change It
Jul 1, 2010I have xfce on my machine, running lucid lynx. For some weird reason, I can't change my firefox home page. I've changed it to the same one time and again in preferences, but every time I open firefox, it shows all the files in my home directory, including hidden ones. I uncheck the "show hidden files box", change it again in "preferences", but it still does this. And the home page in "preferences" is set to the right page I want; firefox just won't go there when I start it up. I really don't want my home directory in plain view like that; how do I make firefox recognize my settings?

View 5 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE :: FireFox Slow Loading And Browsing
Aug 27, 2010On my computer, I'm using 11.3, KDE 4.4.4 and Firefox 3.6.8. Firefox is so s...l...o...w..... It's slow loading and it's slow browsing. Konqueror takes 1, maybe 2 seconds to load, and another second to load the home page. Firefox takes a good 30 seconds to load. The only message I get when loading from a terminal is about not using a shared database. I don't hear the disk churning like it would with a fragmented disk.
I can't believe everyone is having this response, the hue and cry would be enormous! Anything to try? Should I try loading another browser? I tried Opera on 11.2 and didn't really like it, had problems with a lot of content. What about Sea Monkey (Gad, I HATE words with monkey in them!) Konqueror won't show a lot of videos and I have problems using the back and forward buttons. I'll wait for fixes but in the meantime.
CentOS 5 :: Firefox 3.0.5 (64bit) Very Slow Browsing?
Jul 19, 2009I'm not sure why, but over the last couple of days when I browse the web with my Centos 5.3 machine running firefox 3.0.5, it takes a very long time to load web pages. Loading the app itself is pretty quick, and I have not issues with system resources (it's an HP Proliant ML115 server, with dual opteron processors & 3Gb RAM). Looking at CPU & disk useage there's nothing out of the ordinary:
top - 18:59:19 up 1 day, 22:54, 2 users, load average: 0.28, 0.90, 1.20

OpenSUSE :: Use Konqueror For Normal Browsing And Switch To Firefox?
Jun 10, 2010Just this Konqueror issue bothers me really bad. So decide to share it here and see if anyone has a better solution.
Java support is really poor in konqueror.
For example,
1. on webex.com and just try to join a test meeting. It never opens the meeting window however there is no error or any kind prompt.
2. facebook.com, if you try to upload a picture, you have to choose simple uploading tool in konqueror in order to do the job.
Why java can not be made work properly like in firefox and chrome? Is there any critical hurdle that I did not know?
My solution: use konqueror for normal browsing and switch to firefox or chrome for java sites. This bothers, right?
Networking :: Wireless Network Connected But Firefox Not Browsing?
Feb 2, 2010I have installed the latest released version of openSUSE, 10.3 or so, and I am having an issue getting the internet to work. The system tells me that I am connected to my wireless network, but firefox does not browse, indicating that it cannot find the network. I'm totally stumped because if my wireless network is connected, why can't I browse?

Ubuntu :: Browsing The Filesystem (Nautilus) And Firefox Seems Realy Sluggish Compared To The Windows 7 Counterparts
Mar 22, 2011I can't quantify the behavior, but every time I run Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (32-bit), I get the impression that I'm using a much slower machine. All I have to compare it to is my Windows 7 64-bit install on the same machine (specs in signature), where almost everything is very snappy by comparison.
I don't have skipping audio or delayed video when watching DVDs in VLC Media Player, and Urban Terror (a 3D game) runs fine, but just general stuff like browsing the filesystem (Nautilus) and Firefox seems reaaaaallly sluggish compared to the Windows 7 counterparts.
What I'm doing at the time does not appear to affect the sluggishness. I have noticed the same impression of sloth both while copying large files, and while doing nothing in particular. That's not how it's supposed to work, is it? Does an Ubuntu install normally slow down over time? I have only been running 10.04 LTS since last October or so.
Ubuntu :: Force Firefox To Recognize A Certain Default Firefox Profile

I can browse some pages e.g. ..... with firefox very slowly but NEVER facebook. I can browse almost any page, even facebook, with OPERA but very very slowly. The same goes with konqueror... Wicd shows that i am always connected with my WPA wireless network

Ubuntu :: Can't Set Firefox As Default Browser?

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Get Firefox As The Default Browser
Dec 28, 2010I tried Chrome, but I still like Firefox better. I can't figure out how to get Firefox back as the default browser. When I go to Preferences --> Prefered Applications, web browser is set to Firefox.
I found this post...[url]
They said to run this command...
Code:
Tried that and it didn't help either. When clicking on link icons on my desktop, they open up in Chrome. Chrome says something to the extent "chrome is not your default browser to open links with. Do you want to make it?" I selected No and checked the box to not show it again. (That's why the above is not exactly what it said.) Kind of funny it said that yet it still opened up with Chrome and not Firefox.
Ubuntu :: Cannot Set Firefox To Be Default Browser In 10.10
Mar 27, 2011I cannot set Firefox to be my default browser in Ubuntu 10.10. It used to be the default until I installed Chromium last year. Since then, Ubuntu Software Center, LibreOffice, EverNote (through Wine) and probably other apps open links in Chromium instead of Firefox.
I tried several solutions to no avail :
- System > Preferences > Preferred Applications : Web Browser = Firefox I tried with the custom command too : "firefox %s" => still opens Chromium.
- Firefox internal preferences : firefox = default
- Chromium internal preferences : chromium is NOT the default
- stuff like "sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser" set to firefox => another fail
- uninstalling Chromium : that works, Firefox opens all the links. Obviously it is not the desired solution as I want to use Chromium too.
- in Gnome Configuration Editor, there are no mention of chromium and /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command = firefox %s

Ubuntu :: Default Window Position For Firefox
Mar 16, 2011For the last year I was using the version of Firefox that came with 32-bit Karmic Koala. Recently I installed 64-bit Maverick. Meerkat, so I'm now using Firefox 3.6.10. Previously, when first opening Firefox, the window aligned to the left edge of the screen. Now it is centered. The window dimensions are correctly retained between sessions, but not the position. Can I get it to open at the left again?
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Set (change) Default Pagestyle In Firefox?
May 19, 2011Does anyone know how to set (change) the default pagestyle in firefox?
I can select my desired pagestyle from the View > Page Style menu; however, this is reset every time I launch a new instance (i.e. new window) of firefox. I want my desired pagestyle to be implemented automatically whenever I launch firefox.
I suspect that there may be a setting in about:config, but I have no idea what it would be called. I've tried using the search feature in about:config for "page" and "style", but I get irrelevant results (judging by the names of the actual search results).
edit: Sorry, forgot to mention: Firefox version 3.6.8
OpenSUSE :: Get Rid Of Firefox As Default For RSS?
Jun 11, 2011I've switched to Chrome as my main browser (for now, at least, still keeping Firefox and Opera around) but I also use the "RSS Now" plasmoid for newsfeeds, and although Chrome is now officially the default browser, everytime I click on a news headline it insists on opening Firefox, which in turn complains that it is not the default browser. I remember that, in a previous KDE 4.x version, it insisted on Konqueror and I somehow got rid of that but can't remember how. how I can use the plasmoid to use Chrome?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Explain The Multiple Firefox Default Folders?
Mar 14, 2010Under /home/username/.mozilla I have a default folder which contains folders named "aqeif3n4.slt" and "cache". Under /home/username/.mozilla/Firefox I also have more default folders such as "6ajy4rl7.default", "ad2fpe1q.default" and "ivkrjhk8.default". I do not understand what the default folder under /home/username/.mozilla is for. I am sure that the .default folders under /home/username/.mozilla/Firefox are my Firefox files (duh!) but why are there more than one? Is a new one created every so often so you have copies from past time periods? Or what?

View 2 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Firefox 3.6 Default Mail Application?
Sep 16, 2010With Firefox 3.5 I have been using this in /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/preferences/myprefs.js to set a default mail client for all users.
Code:
pref('network.protocol-handler.app.mailto','some_application');
pref('network.protocol-handler.expose.mailto',true);
With Firefox 3.6 these settings are ignored.
Anyone know how to make this work in Firefox 3.6? I stress that I need a solution that allows me to set the default for all users. Per-user solutions such as going in to Preferences and selecting a mail client are of no use. Sadly that's the only solution I've been able to find. I need a setting that sets a default for all users and this needs to work even if they already have Firefox profiles. (So modifying the contents of /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/profile is not a solution.) I have some_application set as the default mail application for GNOME.
