Firefox playing up

[unwashed potato!]

I changed some settings today on firefox and didnt really know what i was dong and now it has screwed up firefox. I think i went to tools>options, then changed something there, remeber changing what it should delete, and keep etc, i told it not to keep history, and then like clear cache, cookies, saved form entries etc and now i get a problem wit most web pages.

It happens on pages such as ebay when i go to the website i dont get any images at all, and the page is like it goes to the defualt messege/name when an image cant be downloaded, and then if i try going to anotyher website it tries to get me to download a .dll file wihch i tried but then it wants to know what to open it with and i have no clue, select from web and get nothing and then i choose and it tried photoshop. It also happens on hotmail.com when trying to go to my inbox and it tries some differnt .dll file and if i click to cancel it comes up like 5/6 times.

anyone know what i have done and how to fix it.

Sounds like you disabled images and possibly java\flash as well.

well when i go to settings it says that java sciprt enabled and java enabled, and load images. they are all ticked so i miagine they are all enabled.

well it seems to have worked again for no apparent reason.

What id like to know now though is:
1. How do i get the tabs bar to be there always, even when the is only 1 tab open?
2. How do i get the ebay.co.uk site to keep my freaking signed in? i i sign in, tick the keep me signed in box yet it never keeps me for more then one or 2 pages. I have got firefox to remember my password but thats it. thanks everyone

Save form information?

The other option is in tools->options->tabs then untick "hide tab bar when only 1 tab is open"

This is assuming you're using 1.5 or later.

thanks, got the tabthing back and hope ebay now works. thanks again
