Firefox from one minute to the next crashed. Everytime I opened it up, it became unresponsive. Never an error message, just a pure freeze. The CPU does not go into overdrive. I did a complete uninstall. Created a new profile. As soon as i closed my session, the problem persisted. Even in safe mode, the application freezes completely within 1-3 seconds. Using the latest firefox windows 7 up to date

Hello,

   We have been using Outlook Web Access 2010 within our organization for a few months now, and have been using firefox to do so. With the latest Firefox 8 update, it seems that certain attachments download as "attachment.ashx". Yes, I said ASHX not ASPX. My research tells me that ashx files have to do with the .NET Framework. It seems that this is only occurring since we downloaded Firefox 8.

   Yes, changing the file extension allows us to open the files, and we can set a program to handle the file extension, but that would only apply when the ashx extension is only affecting one file type, but it seems to happen for more than 1 document type. I have experienced this issue with .pdf, .doc, .xls, .docx and .xlsx.

   Any ideas as to what would be causing this as of the latest update?

Same question which I've already posed. IF I can be supplied with a working email addy - I'd be happy to include some screen shots illustrating exactly what it is I'm asking here... Please send me an email addy to continue. Thanks.

I mechanically clear EVERYTHING often when browsing. What I'm getting live arrows on for a Clear are: Browing & Download History Form & Search History (this is the ONE NOT working, no hot arrow) Next is Cookies then Cache Then Active Logins Then finishes up with Site Preferences.

IT IS THE FORM 7 SEARCH HISTORY which won't clear using new Firefox 8.1 where in 8.0 it did. Thanks.

the browser is started home page loads up. but if I request to go to a web page it shows that the request is asking for my request in the new tab but it just sits there. If I go to the address HTTP bar and hit enter again I usually get the info right away

Since I have installed the new version of Firefox (version 8.0), every single file I download is downloaded as "attachment.ashx" and won't open. I have to change the name as well as the file type in order to open the document.

This happens regardless of if I'm downloading from email, from a website, etc.. All of the files I have downloaded also have already been named and had file types appended, but Firefox is changing them every single time. I have never had this problem before using the same sites and downloads.

My home PC running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Home Premium has been recently upgraded with Firefox 8.0. As noted, Java Console 7.0.01 is incompatible and is disabled by Firefox 8.0.

Since upgrading to 9 I find that visiting web sites invariably means a 10 second or more wait until they load.

Once the site eventually loads subsequent clicks to other pages are much faster.

This happens even with all add ons deactivated.

i have a problem.Flash Player upgrade required You must download and install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player to view this content. but my Flash player is updated. i use ubuntu10.4, firefox 8.0

After updating Firefox to 8.0, the attachments that come in my Outlook email will not download properly. The file attachment in the email is still correct, but when I go to open or download the file, the window that pops up to ask what to do with the file calls the file "attachment.ashx". I've never seen this before. If I rename the file after downloading, and put the correct format back on it (e.g. .jpg, .pdf), the file opens fine.

How can I get my attachments to download again with their proper file name and file extension?

I've been using Firefox for many months to access my work email using Outlook Web Access (OWA). Clicking on an attachment always resulted in the file being downloaded intact (mostly pdfs and Word docs). Suddenly yesterday all file types result in the download of "attachment.ashx". I had not changed anything in Firefox. I restarted Ff and then my computer without effect. I then deleted and reinstalled Ff -- no change. Now in the applications window pdfs and docs aren't listed, but I can't get them in there anyway because they don't download as such. I am using Ff 8.0 on MacOS 10.6.8.

Having two tabs open, memory rises slowlyall by itself, to where the main process is using almost 2.2GB and the plugin containers are taking up about another 1.2GB by themselves. CLosing Firefox didn't help. I had to go to task managed and End Process...I've got 4GB RAM and an intel Core 2 Duo CPU. Yes, everything is updated...

What's up with this? Please Mozilla, make FF awesome again!

Everything under the firefox menu is in spanish, such as "marcadores, historial and descargas" and I don't know how to change it back to english. I've tried to change the language under options, but I've chosen english for the language but it still is in spanish.

Babylon has added itself to my Firefox browser as a search engine. So if I type a search term in the URL window, Babylon comes up. I know it is a tracking device and it 'found' me when I used their site for translation. BIG mistake! I have uninstalled it, removed then reinstalled FF and it still is there. How do I get rid of it?

I got a virus Wed and had it fixed. But it is running slow and my display setting won't work. Tried to install MS Security Essentials but tells me can't validate that I might be a victim of software counterfeiting. I bought a refurbished PC last year. Windows told me to in the WgaPluginInstaller.exe pop up window, select Save File. Can't find Wga Plugin Installer.exe pop up window. I have Windows XP and use Mozilla.

I am running Firefox v8.0. I am seeing that there is an update to v8.0.1. When I check for updates I keep getting a response back that Firefox is already up-to-date; no v8.0.1. I am also seeing the availability of downloading v8.0.1 via other than Mozilla. So .... what is the status of Firefox? Thanks.

Running 8.0 on windows. Flash has totally stopped working. Updating flash does nothing, uninstalling and reinstalling flash does nothing. It also tells me that it has been "Disabled for my safety" because I'm using an "outdated version" even though I just updated it. How do I fix this?
