How firefox detects that a user right clicked on a link or right clicked on a page?
We know that firefox has two kinds of right click menu. One for anywhere on the webpage and another is for right clicking on a html link. How they decides which to show when? I mean, how they detect that the user has actually clicked on a link?

How to close firefox without deleting all the pages and tabs?
I need to close out firefox so that i can install a program. I have 6 firefox pages open with about 15-25 tabs each. I do NOT want to lose any of that stuff. What’s the known way of closing firefox without causing it to delete everything?
@Jack I have no idea… .__.
Nagesh answers:
In Firefox window, press “Alt” keys to show File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help, select Help then select ‘Restart with Add-ons Disabled….”
“Restart with Add-ons Disabled” mini-window will appear, select “Restart”
then “Firefox Safe Mode” mini-window will appear, do not make any mark, just choose “Exit”
then install the program you want, after finished, just open your Mozilla Firefox. Also you can Shutdown or Restart your computer. I always use it. It worked for me…
~hope it helps~

How can you tell which firefox window is hogging up the cpu?
Firefox browser often starts consuming 100% of the processor time slowing down the computer. Closing windows until you find the right window helps. Is there any way to tell which window it is that is using up the cpu?
Nagesh answers:
Maybe you should try reinstalling Firefox
Alternatively you could download and run the free ‘Process Lasso’ which throttles back any process which is trying to hog all the CPU resource. It also keeps a log of its actions so you should be able to see which process was the culprit.

How do you move Firefox bookmarks and site passwords from one computer to another?
I am running Firefox on a windows machine, and will be using them on a windows machine also. It would be nice if I could save the passwords and bookmarks to a flash-drive for the transfer.
Nagesh answers:
I don’t think you can move stored passwords, as they are stored in the browser security settings and temporary files.
For Firefox Bookmarks it’s very easy. And you can even move them cross platform also (like from Windows to a Mac, or from Windows to Linux or Mac to Linux or the other way around).
Go to Bookmarks -> Show All Bookmarks and click on Import and Backup, select Export Bookmarks to HTML, save the resulting HTML file.
Copy the Bookmarks HTML file to external media (USB or CD/DVD) and copy to the other computer. You can even e-mail the Bookmarks HTML file to yourself and save it in the new computer.
In the other computer, go to Bookmarks -> Show All Bookmarks and click on Import and Backup, select Import Bookmarks to HTML, search for the Bookmarks HTML file copied from the first computer and open it, it will load all your old Bookmarks into the other computer’s Firefox Bookmarks.

How would one export a folder within Firefox bookmarks to send as email?
Firefox allows bookmarks to be organized into folders. Does an extension, add-on, plug-in or other software exist that would allow me to export a folder within the Bookmark Toolbar parent folder so that I’m not divulging my entire bookmark library?
Nagesh answers:
You need to search Firefox. New ones are added almost every day.
