Your Questions About Firefox

Donna asks…

How can I change Firefox’s default resolution without changing my desktops?

I just installed Windows 7 and, of course, Firefox. I decided to use a higher resolution, but this is kind of a pain in Firefox – just about every web page has blank bars on the side and the text is fairly small. I know I can change font size, but is there any way I can stop Firefox from using my resolution?

Michelle answers:

Look for the magnifying glass below right? Click that several times until you get the resolution you want, or click the small arrow and select 100%.

Mandy asks…

How do I start get rid of the “existing Firefox process” without restarting my computer?

I do not have the password of the current account I am on and therefore do not want to restart the computer. However, whenever I click the firefox icon, it does not allow me onto firefox and just displays a message about closing the existing session. Is there a way to navigate on the computer to Firefox or its settings…I particularly would like to access it’s history. Help, please!

Michelle answers:

Simple. You open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete
Then you click the processes tab and find the one that says firefox.exe.
Press End Process.

Richard asks…

What causes Firefox to slow down or not respond sometimes?

I don’t get it. My computer is not using excess disk space, I’ve cleaned up all unnecessary files, and I don’t have too many applications running at once. So why is it that sometimes when I browse the internet, Firefox sometimes doesn’t respond or runs too slow- EVEN when I have absolutely no other applications running? I used to see this problem with the Explorer in the past, which is why I switched to Firefox. And, after a period of time once again it’s the same problem.

Michelle answers:

Yeah
I’m having that too.
There’s a bug in the last few versions. Keep updating and report that to the firefox team so they’ll fix it in the next edition.

William asks…

will old firefox bookmarks work with newer version?

I have a backup of bookmarks from firefox version 3.6 and older, if i install the latest Firefox will i still be able to import the old bookmarks?

Michelle answers:

Yeah you can import bookmarks from every browser to other browser.
[You can save (export) your bookmark somewhere in your hard drive and afterwards you can import on your new browser.]
