I downloaded this setup file and when I tried to run it from my downloads window, the extraction failed due to it being a corrupt file. Is there another source for this file as well as the other file in the Firefox 4.0 English US folder?

have updated to Mozilla Firefox 20 after restarting the computer I clicked on Tools and selected the options the moment i clicked on options Mozilla Firefox window get closed then i have to restart it and asked to restore the earlier windows.

I had Firefox 12 installed. I wake up in the morning to find that an update has taken place and I must reinstall Firefox 4 to get a browser which works. Otherwise my browser screen only shows the upper 1/2" of any web page.

I'm running AVG free and have the most updated versions of all plugins/extensions. Memory consumption goes as high as 160,000k resting, no video streaming, and as high as 300,000k+ when streaming. Video will interrupt and stop loading arbitrarily, also will force dropped connection. Only use multiple tabs rarely multiple windows.

Firefox crashes repeatedly. Most noticeably when I attempt to upload a file, but also when simply clicking in the locations bar to follow suggested troubleshooting options. I also cannot access various menu options such as Menus, Options without it crashing. This occurs whether or not I'm in safe mode.

I'm running FF 18.0.2.

I have run Malwarebytes andfound no malicious software.

I have attempted to submit crash reports by typing 'about:crashes' in the location bar, but instead of submitting the crash report I get a 'Throttling' screen with the following message:

You're seeing this page because the crash report you selected was held back from submission. For statistical purposes, we don't need every crash report and sometimes we decline the submission of a crash report as a form of throttling. If you'd like to see your crash report, type about:crashes into your location bar and your report will be automatically submitted to our server where we'll give it priority processing.

Thank you for reporting your crashes.

My webmail account works, though slowly, when I'm using NetScape 7.1. When I try to use the same program and service with FireFox 12.0, I can receive email, but sending email gets me an error message that's something like "Could not establish an SMTP commection with the server." The service tells me that my outgoing smtp port should be 465 if I'm using SSL, and 25 if I'm not using SSL. Also, if I'm asked about "authentication," it should be "the same as incoming." Where do I find these settings in FF12.0?

I'm asking this question on another computer, not the one I'm having trouble with. My problem child is an IBM Aptiva running Windows 2000 Version 5.0 (Build 2195; Service Pack 4) Copyright 1981-1999 Microsoft Corp. Physical memory available to Windows: 64,824 KB

Firefox V18 is installed on a laptop running Windows XP, & has suddenly stopped working, after working ok since being installed. It now displays a blank page when you click on the homepage icon, plus entering a url brings up the word connecting, in the tab, but then displays a blank page with the words new tab in the tab at the top of the page. IE works ok, as does a portableapps copy of firefox 3.5.17.

I have tried re-installing V18.0.1, with no success, I have even tried uninstalling firefox, deleting all remaining folders & running a registry cleaner to see if their was anything causing the install to fail. Firefox still fails to work after all this.

The laptop has been kept uptodate with regards to upgrades, & I have tried doing a system restore to earlier breakpoints, but with no success. Any ideas? TIA

On the Privacy tab in Options the check box for Accept cookies from sites is unchecked. I pressed the Exceptions button and added many websites to accept cookies from and clicked Allow for Session on each one. Sometimes I go to a website where I have to sign in with a username and password and the site states that my browser is refusing to accept cookies even though I had added the site to the exception list. When I check the exception list, the status of the exception has changed from Allow for Session to Blocked. I have found several exceptions change on their own from allow to blocked and some even have changed again after I changed them back. What could be causing the exceptions to change and is there some way to make the settings persistent?

At every new launch of FireFox version 12, a warning dialog pops up to advise that FireFox will no longer support this OS and the OS should be upgraded to mitigate security vulnerabilities. I am well aware of the risks and accept responsibility for not upgrading the OS or the browser to any higher version than what is presently installed.

Is there any way to continue using this version of FireFox and this OS, without this annoying message appearing at every launch and taking focus away from the browser? Selecting "never check for updates" within advanced options has not prevented the check and message at launch.

Dear Yahoo! do NOT rub salt in my wound.

firefox disabled my version of java, i went to the free download site to get the newest version, clicked on download then doubled click on it in the download list, this should have started the intallation but instead i got a message saying i needed an application to open the link and wanted me to choose an app. Install box did not come up as it has with other downloads. I do not want to open it i want to install it.

On my Windows 2000 SP3 my current Firefox version is 3.0.19. I cannot upgrade it any more! There are two phenomena: 1.) When using the 'search for updates' function it offers an upgrade to MAX. version 3.0.19. 2.) When I upgrade manually (to version 15) it unpacks the files properly but does NOT start the installer - without ANY error message.

And I cannot find any version archive here to try a stepwise upgrade to e.g. version 5 or 10, unfortunatelly. Isn't there any archive?... Or which problem to you think, I have?...

Thank you for answering.

Ok, so when I go to places like twitchy or chicks on the right, the graphics and text on the page bleed into where they should not be. Right now I am having a hard time typing because I see in the text box the text at the top of the page here. (Another kind of problem with firefox chang category.
