How do I download to a specific folder on Firefox?
I have Vista and Firefox automatically seems to download files to my “Downloads” file, but for some of them I would prefer that they are directly downloaded into My Documents or other areas. Can anybody tell me how to fix this? Thanks in advance.
Michelle answers:
Open Firefox, click on tools at the top of the browser. Then click options. Click the Main tab at the top. Then under the downloads section, next to where it says, save files to Click browse, then go to the place that you would like to save your downloads too. Then click ok and your done.

Firefox is showing a strange font for most web pages on my mac?
Last night on May 4th, my firefox and safari is displaying a very strange font, I don’t know if this is going on for anyone else or not. Please Help!
Michelle answers:
If both applications have a language issue, maybe it is caused by your having enabled more than one input method at System Preferences > International. Do you have a flag icon in the top menu bar? That means you have more than one input method allowed. The system will switch input methods due to a key combo that you might have accidentally typed.
If it is only a Firefox issue and Safari is fine…
Firefox > Preferences > Content > Fonts and Colors. Change it there (Times size 16 works well for my 22″ screen). If that doesn’t help, go to:
/Users /yourhomefolder /Library /Application Support /Firefox /Profiles /blahblah.default
Delete /localstore.rdf
If that doesn’t help, download a fresh copy of Firefox (could be a setting at about:config, but a frssh copy is easier to handle than editing the about:config).

How do I add a Firefox quicklaunch icon to my taskbar?
Windows 7 Home Premium
There are a few websites that I visit regularly so instead of having to open up Firefox and navigate to the page I would like to add a shortcut to the site on to my taskbar. When I try to create a new shortcut and add it to the taskbar it automatically pins it to my Firefox shortcut. I would like the site shortcut to have its own icon on the taskbar. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Michelle answers:
You have to grab the little picture that’s right next to the link or you can grab the link, whichever you prefer, but the picture is easier. After you grab it you drag it to the area right underneath the task bar and there you go. Or you can just bookmark it by going to the Bookmark tab at the top left hand corner. However, Firefox does have a designated area where you just drag the little icon onto a part of the toolbar and you will have the links there so when you click on them it goes straight to the site.
Good Luck.
