My Firefox wasn't updating. It would just hang there like it was downloading and updating but never finished no matter how long I waited. So, I want to delete it completely and try installing new.

I have made Safari my default browser, made sure that Safari is NOT running and have deleted the profile. I try to drag the icon from the app folder, but it doesn't go into the trash bin.

HELP me please!

What the hell happened? Today I noticed that the links provided by Google search no longer work. If I click a link offered by google search, nothing happens! The same screen is presented. I tested it with both Firefox 10 and Firefox 6. Same result. Only the google previews are available, but the links to the actual source are not clickable.

I also tried the exact same search with IE, and I'm sad to say that the problem is not with Google.

Deactivating Adblock did not change this anomaly.

See, for example, http://techdows.com/2011/09/removing-avg-secure-search-as-search-engine-in-firefox.html. Since it's hijacking a Mozilla product, Mozilla's apparent indifference is baffling.

Whenever I open my Firefox browser (7.0.1) and no matter which website I wish to visit, I see that during the open page process that (in the bottom left corner of my screen) a number of URL's start to load - before my desired website page opens. Depending on the number of such URL's, my desired website can take a long time to open. One of these URL's is "www.superfish.com" - I want to remove this permanently ... such that "www.superfish.com" never ever runs. When I look into my Firefox Add On's and my Firefox Plug In's, I find that "Superfish" does not list as installed on my computer. When I look into my Start/Programs, I also find that Superfish is not listed. When I go into Add/Remove Programs, I also find that Superfish is not listed.

HOW DO I REMOVE "SUPERFISH" ... PERMANENTLY?

(My computer is running on WINDOWS XP Professional ... fully Updated).

(NOTE: I originally posted my question some 2 weeks ago. To date, it would seem that no one in the Firefox Community has got the answer to my problem. Surely this cannot be so - when I Google on the subject, it would seem that many other Firefoxers have encountered this problem; but - NOBODY SEEMS TO HAVE THE SIMPLE SOLUTION!!! Who can help me (and all the others???)

Just suddenly 3 hours ago, letmewatchthis.ch stopped working for me "Unable to connect

         Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.letmewatchthis.ch.
       

 The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
   moments.
 If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
   connection.
 If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
   that Firefox is permitted to access the Web."

All other sites are fine and I have used letmewatchthis over 1,000 times. I ha it tested on a few on the test sites and apparently it is just me :/

After the upgrade to Firefox 6.0, a kind of malware has been included in the browser. When opening, i.e, a newspaper site, some words appear as double underlined, and a link to www.textsrv.com/xxxxxx is included as hyperlink. I wanted to extract this pluging, malware, or whatever it is called unsuccessfully. Looking into the internet, it seems that the Adobe Flash has the problem. ¿How do you recommend to solve this issue?

Running OS X Lion 10.7.1 Mac mini early 2009, 4GB RAM. No other problems except both Firefox and Chrome are incredibly slow opening web pages when compared to the same two browsers in Windows or to Safari in OS X.

This happens whether other applications are running or not. Internet speed has not changed (tested 6 Mbps), not using proxies, etc. Yes, I did test after Quitting all other apps. It makes no difference.

Hi, I'm using Firefox 6.0.2 and it's a while that I'm facing this problem. Anytime I click the little X to close the tab (sometimes I have to click it 2-3 times) it closes the tab but a new blank tab opens itself. For example when I start with 1 tab, open 3 tabs from that page so I have 4, I want to go to another site and close everything about my first site. Then Firefox gives me the new site + 4 blank tabs that can't be closed.

When I open Firefox it works well but after 10-15 minutes or I don't know maybe 1 hour or so this problem appears.

I did not install any new plugin or extension (maybe updated my existing plugins) .

It's not a virus,malware or anything. I'm using Avast home edition (Free) and it updates itself every day several times. I also scanned my system with tdsskiller (read on a forum that solves the problem, but it didn't). I'm using firefox for years, but this problem is happening only from a week ago.

While I was working on my Mac last night, I got a message that I needed to download an Adobe (I think an Acrobat X Pro) update. I did. That seems to be the time when I started having problems. Now I can't use the uninstaller for the program. I think that may be the problem, but my ability to fix it stops here.

I'm usually more discerning about updates, etc, but I was working on a project and the flashing updater was bothering me, so I hit yes, not really looking at the app I was updating. Ugh. My mistake.

Firefox keeps locking up. Downloaded latest version mid Sept. Since then get not responding many times. I reloaded older version of Firefox but that didn't seem to help. Almost everytime upon loading, then starting to enter a search name a box comes up with s04.cltrda.com/sc?p....... many more characters on the address totaling over 100. What is this? How do I get rid of this? Al

Hello! I have a little problem with some ads.... When I try to see them, I just see blank I have never downloaded any adblocking programs in the past....

Notice the blank space where the ad should be....

Please Help me by telling me who to fix this....

Thanks :D

I used to be able to execute this simple line of java code from the URL window inside google maps to get the lat / long of a point.

javascript:alert(window.gApplication.getMap().getCenter());

however since I upgraded firefox recently, I get no result typing this into the URL window, not even an error message. I've checked all the javascript settings under tools, options, they're all enabled.

why does this no longer generate an alert window with the lat/long coordinates like it used to? What setting do I need to change to restore this functionality?
