How can I change Firefox to use MY proxy again, instead of a random one from China?
A friend set up my Firefox proxy so that it was actually using a random proxy from China, instead my own.
I would like to change my Firefox settings so that I am no longer using someone else’s proxy. How can I change it back to my own?
Thank you in advance!
Michelle answers:
I would uninstall it and then reinstall. It’s free.
You can then set it up as you want.
To reinstall just goole mozilla or firefox and it’s done in minutes.
Make sure you uninstall first, internet explorer will temporarily take over and then mozilla will take it from there, Good luck

How do I switch the full screen mode on Firefox to regular mode?
My brother somehow by accident switched our Firefox internet to full screen and I don’t like it and I can’t find a way to get it off.Help?
Michelle answers:
Your brother must have pressed F11 key. This is what toggles Firefox between Full Screen and normal mode.

How to I get Firefox to keep my bookmarks?
Every time I upgrade Firefox from 3.0, it loses my bookmarks. If I try to put them back, they go away when I close. This is also true for anything I add to the quicklinks toolbar. I have to keep going back to the old version. I’ve tried the whole finding your bookmarks file, but it doesn’t help. It still won’t save the bookmarks when I close firefox. Any suggestions or am I forever going to use the old version?
Michelle answers:
This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history:
• http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
• http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_not_saved
You should be able to export your bookmarks from the Bookmarks Manager by going to Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks… From FireFox, and then going to File > Export from the Bookmark Manager.
You could then save the file and send to yourself as an attachment in an email, or save to disk. Later you can Import your bookmarks by going to Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks…, File > Import, and selecting the “From File” option and clicking on Next.
There’s also a good tutorial for FireFox at http://mozilla.gunnars.net/firefox_bookmarks_tutorial.html which has some screen shots, too.

How do I make Mozilla Firefox on my mac look like Windows?
I saw firefox on windows and it’s really big and colorful but on a mac it’s boring gray. How do I make it look like it does on Windows?
Michelle answers:
You can try installing different themes (look in your preferences -> appearence, or in add-ons).
Don’t use Firefox on a Mac though, it’s pretty slow. Safari has some nice features, Camino is a really good lightweight browser (based on the same engine as FF, but optimized for Mac) and Opera 10.6 is FAST and customizable.
