FAQ
Why is my Firefox window bouncing?
This is a bug and it is caused by your 'Bookmark Toolbar' being empty. You can either add a bookmark to it by drop and dragging a link on the toolbar or you can hide this toolbar via 'View->Toolbars->Bookmark Toolbar'.

What happend to the pictures and page style?
Simply press two buttons 'Ctrl+F5', this clears the cache for that page.

My Firefox keep crashing, help!
Try starting Firefox in Safe Mode. (Start -> All Programs -> Mozilla Firefox -> Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode)). This will disable all the add-ons which is usually the cause of crashes.

I have a question about Firefox Bookmark Toolbar. Currently it is full. I have a lot of bookmarks over there. So the extra wan are kep behind the >>. Kinda hard to press the >> and the choose my bookmarks.

Is there any way i can expand the bookmarks toolbar to two line?

Or add another customize toolbar.

I tried Add a new toolbar. but it doesnt seems to work.

All helps appreciate

Why does my firefox returns to the previous pages in some of the websites?

okay..i liked firefox..see the past tense there..the newer version (i dun notice since when), the toolbar button, even clicked will just stay there and wont roll out, especially the bookmark! Then, it is very slow nowadays..eats ton of memory..i once made firefox to eat 3.5GB of memory (2.5GB of swap disk!!). Massive small flash site, on multiple tabs, see the lagginess.

Plus sum more, lots of javascript just dun werk..for example, lyn my assistant, sum other js i just cannot recall.

now using opera..i just dun like one thing..one massive thing..i like firefox opening tab in background, ctrl+click, opera is like ctrl+shift+click..

3.5GB of memory? How many RAM you got?

i have question here...

why suddenly my firefox closed and the error msg appear?

sometimes it hang for quite some times.

is it because of the memory?

i have 1GB total ram memory

i have a problem with firefox here...
when i used it sometimes a few hours (2-4 hours) sometimes more than 6 hours, an error window will pop up asking me to close it.
here's the error report i've copied from...

how to lose FF2 auto complete?
everytime i want to yahoo search, it'll drop down a list of words i used before

Go to options->Privacy->History

And untick "Remember what I enter in forms and search bar"

thx, i found it already.
It seem abit different for FF2

Tools -> Option -> Privacy tab

Untick Remember what i enter in forms and search bar

same problem here , i think it's because open tabs eat up a lot of memory .... this latest released problem even worst than previous one

Hmm, about:mozilla does nothing right?
It seems more like an easter egg to me... I stumbled upon an article today, and thought what settings are available there.

The layout seems scary tho' =\

Yes, it's an easter egg: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Mozilla

Seems like both Firefox and Opera eats lots of RAM if open too much tabs

I have never encountered such behaviour before. You could try running Firefox in safe mode to see if you have any addons which are misbehaving.

Type 'about:config' in the address bar, and change 'browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing' key to 'false'.
