Just installed Firefox ... few questions

Hi all,

A bit of help with Firefox please which I've just installed.

I enter quite a few competitions and, for some of them, you can submit multiple entries. With IE7, when I'd filled out a form (using Roboform), I'd just click on the back button and the name/address info. would still be there, now it isn't. Still something of a chore, even with Roboform, as you also have to submit answers, click on accepting T&C's, etc., so any help here appreciated. BTW, I have entered "Remember what's on Forms and the Search Bar" in Options and it makes no difference.

Also, I've noticed that I can't seem to use the "smiley" icons anymore ... nothing seems to appear at all and when I look at my submitted post, I get text and not the picture.

Apart from this, I do like Firefox, so just trying to iron out these problems.

Thanks in ancipation.

    Firefox has load of addins that may solve your problem have a look under tools add ons extensions get extensions . Many many of them plus themes for the skin .
    If you right click a blank area of the main toolbar second strip down you can customise this by adding or removing items . You can add a print icon remove the little google search bar etc

    Thanks for the replies.

    I've already looked at the add ons and am confused as to which (if any) will solve these problems.

    I'll look again ...

    Thanks for the replies. As I already have Roboform, the form filling is not a problem ... it's just the fact that the form is no longer displayed when I press the back button. It used to still be there with IE7, so don't know if this is "getroundable" with Firefox.

    Loose Women, GMTV, Dual, etc. They all have the same format and you can enter all up to 30 times each.
