Before my upgrade, a right click on the mouse over a highlighted misspelled word gave me a list of alternative spelling.
Now, it pastes the last thing I copied.
I'd like to get back to spell checking, any ideas.
For speed: FireDownload, and Tweak Network
Others: BetterPrivacy, Clear Private Data, Ghostery, Trackerwatcher, Clear Private Data, Cooliris....Add Block Plus, I have to turn it off sometimes, I can't open multiple windows.
If your mouse operations are not working as they should, then I would check your mouse setups. I have not seen anything in preferences (tools - options for you winders users) that would indicate a setting for it.
I upgraded to 3.5.4 a couple weeks ago and it lost 2/3 of my former firefox bookmarks. Any easy remedies for this, or any chance of getting them back?
Go to tools, options and clear all cache. That should help and defrag your disk.
Their is a profile directory with all this in it. I am not sure how I did it. My machine died but slaved the old drive. I may have imprted it to exlorer then to the new Firefox. I can’t remember the details, but I am pretty sure you can do it. It will take some research.
An upgrade should not affect your bookmarks at all. They’re an HTML file in your personal app data directory. And Firefox does keep, at least on Linux, a bookmark backup directory.
I would like to know how to disable all that Google-analytics crap.
Don’t need it.
Don’t want it!!
Use the Firefox extension "NoScript". It allows you to selectively allow or disallow JavaScripts in a granular way. You can allow the primary site to run their script to get the content you want, but disallow Google, or any other third party, off site scripting.
