After I downloaded Lion, I ran Firefox 5.0.1. Immediately, I noticed significant layout problems in CNN.com and MSNBC.com. And on Facebook, the friends, message, and notification icons at the upper left didn't work. Nor did entering comments to Facebook posts. Even the button that says "View X Comments" in friends' posts didn't work. For comparison, all of them work fine on Safari 5.1.

I rebooted Firefox 5.0.1 with plugins disabled, and still encountered the same problems.

I want to be able to get a google search-sans advertising, and the rest of that crap-when I put something in the main browser. This used to happen, but in the latest version, when I search something I get ask.com, complete with a full page of advertised sites at the top, and for the most part useless search suggestions beneath it. I then have to go to the little google bar at the top to search. I have no idea what prompted you to set these defaults and to make it so hard to change-I have looked on on-lines forums, taken suggestions and tried to disable the ask.com toolbar, but it still comes up...please, tell me how to get rid of it forever, and please make it easy to change this type of thing...otherwise I will use Chrome or Safari as my default browser, despite liking some other features of Firefox!

Let me explain, when I open a webpage with a lot of images like for example an official thread about a game in a forum, the connection in Firefox is stuck, I mean It loads the web but not the images and saying "connecting with... " and It doesnt load any image.

But the weird thing is the connection is out forever, I mean if I go another website is still "connecting with..." and the only fix is reboot Firefox 6.

Also Let me explain what things I tried.

-IE and Google Chrome works fine. -Firefox 3.6.20 and Firefox 5.0.1 works fine. -APB+ disabled in Firefox 6, the problem is still there.

So I dont know what kind of problem this thing has, also browsing with 5.0.1 its not safe right? because its not longer supported.

Question This Site "http://update.downloadhelper.net/index.html" Pops up every time I Open Firefox and I Can't Get It To Stop It Is Annoying Me I Tried Removing Cookies and all History and It Still Pops Up

There seems to be a problem with the updater in Firefox 5. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit.

I was running Firefox 5.0 and I noticed that Firefox 5.0.1 had been released so went to Help - About Firefox.

Running under my user account the Apply Update button appeared but when I clicked it Firefox restarted but didn't update. Running under my administrator account, Firefox said that it was up to date.

Therefore, I downloaded the 5.0.1 file and installed it manually. When I checked Help - About Firefox:

- in my user account, the Apply Update button still appears, even though the version shows as 5.0.1; and - in my administrator account, Firefox says it is up to date.

So there seems to be a bug in the up date process. Under Firefox 3 and 4 the updates worked okay.

whenever computer shuts down due to power break up or any other reason while you are working in Mozilla Firefox like using Facebook. when you turn computer on and open Firefox it stores last session, without asking for Passwords or username that seriously effects privacy.i was using Facebook on Mozilla and my computer shuts down while after few minutes some one else turned on the computer and he entered into my Facebook account due to the restore last session. Please do something for this. This is a biggest drawback of Firefox

Newly formatted PC, Windows Vista. I did a clean install of FF5, pulled down as the default download from the Mozilla website. Installed Forecast Fox, didn't show. Turned on the add-on toolbar, it now shows FireBug and AdBlocker icons, but no ForecastFox. I installed StatusBar-4-Eva, the icons changed alignment to the right side, but still no ForecastFox

I found an article on importing favourites from Explorer. It said press Alt, (which I did but couldn't see anything happening) and then from the File menut, click on Import. However, the Import selection is not available.

firefox search results will not open when clicked on.

i have removed and reloaded firewfox and the prob remains.

my faves and bookmarks open wind but new search results will not open when clicked on.

the image and video features open when clicked on but none of the sites listed in the results of a seach will open.

Hello helpful Mozilla experts,

When I click on a link to play a standard WMV video in Firefox 5, in the movie player window it says "Click here to download plugin".

When I click "Click here to download plugin" in Firefox 5, I get a Firefox panel that says I need Windows Media Player 11, but I already have Windows Media Player 12 and the Firefox WMP browser plugin installed on this computer... it worked fine in Firefox 3.6.

If I then click to install the Windows Media Player 11 plugin, it goes to another Firefox panel that says, "No plugins were installed, Windows Media Player 11 - Not Available". Then there is a "Manual Install" button, and when I click that, it takes me to a third party plugin site called "InteroperabilityBridges.com" that has a Firefox WMP plugin available that is dated April 2007.

Here's the link it gives... http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download

When I check my "Programs and Features" panel in Windows 7 on my control panel, I can see that I already have something installed named, "Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin" installed and it is dated 10/24/2010, and it is version 1.0.0.8.

In spite of already having the required plugin installed and showing in my Programs and Features panel, this WMP plugin is not showing up on my Firefox 5 plugins panel. So I tried re-installing it with the original installer and the installer that is available from the URL above (they appear to be the same except my original installer has a 2010 date).

I also tried the "repair" option in the plugin installer... it still doesn't show up in Firefox 5 nor will this browser play a WMV file in the embedded test player linked from the Mozilla WMP plugin troubleshooting page, nor from other pages that have WMV players embedded.

So the question is, why is Firefox 5 requiring I install an older Windows Media Player plugin, version 1.0.0.8 from 2007 when I already have it installed?... and why won't it work?

I've already gone through all the Mozilla troubleshooting info and accessed the page on this topic and nothing works... https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using%20the%20Windows%20Media%20Player%20plugin%20with%20Firefox

What is the solution? Upgrading again for the 3rd time in the last 2 months is not an option... I'm tired of going through all the troublesome steps of upgrading and figuring out what Mozilla has changed and left out of a another browser upgrade and re-installing the plugins, extensions, add-ons and customizations and troubleshooting everything that doesn't work, as I am still doing now with Firefox 5.

It seems that as soon as I get most things squared away in a new Mozilla browser, then they have come out with three new versions, so when I'm still struggling with version FF5 (as I am now) there will be version 9 that I'm getting constant annoying "reminders" to upgrade to.

Thanks,

All other browsers I've used for searches always change the color or hue of the visited link. I just downloaded the latest Firefox version, but it doesn't do that either.

I just upgraded to OS X Lion, and when I went to work, I noticed that Firefox 5.0.1 stopped connecting to the Internet.

It refused to connect me through the corporate proxy (MS ISA + NTLMv2 Auth). After repeated attempt, it would sporadically connect me to http sites but NEVER https sites.

If you need further information, please let me know.
