Question: How can I enable in Firefox (currently 7 - beta) to run javascript in the url bar. I mean running: javascript:alert('iaurt'); in the url bar. I remember this worked on previous firefox versions... And this works in IE but on Firefox it doesn't :(

I accidentally downloaded and wrote over the Firefox version I had with the new 7.0 version of Firefox after I read that my Mac OSX 10.4.11 is not compatible. Is there a way to download an older version, a compatible version of Firefox?

Helly, my problem started with FF 6. It keeps freezing the whole browser after a few minutes. I think every 15 minutes it's freezing. Now I went to the helpforum and somebody gave the advice to deinstall FF. Run CC Cleaner. And then reinstall FF. I did that, and seems to work. It wasn't hanging anymore. BUT it came back!!! I don't have a clue why. I changed nothing to my pc. Now I have upgraded to 7.0.1 and the problem of freezing is still here. When it freezes, my whole pc freezes. I can do nothing else. please fix it!

Ok I noticed that the Firefox updates have been coming quite rapidly and that the latest version is Beat. I understand Beta versions will have bugs and kinks that need to be worked out. My Problem is websites load slow as crap or don't load all together. And getting on Facebook? Forget that! Facebook has enough issues without throwing a slow Browser in the mix. My question is this. Does Firefox 7 Beta have some issues with responsiveness and speed? I noticed alot of people having the same issue as far as browsing speed. And before anyone suggests clearing history and cache. I have already done that several times. I have even checked my computer for viruses and anything else that might cause a problem like that. Add-ons and any extra toolbars are either removed or disabled and certain sites will still not load properly. Any extra information or advice would be very much appreciated! Thank you!

Firefox is so slow that it is easier to load ie8 and use that. It runs fine. I uninstalled Firefox and rebooted. Did not fix. I ran Glary Utilities and it found 400+ fixes. and rebooted, and did not fix. This problem showed early this morning.

Mozilla has updated Firefox beyond the point where common third-party applications are supported. Javascript is no longer enabled with my browser.

Why does Mozilla now issue automatic software updates that render me incapable of viewing many sites simply because you haven't coordinated with your vendors prior to release? Can you slow down a little and wait until things are compatible?

the following message keeps popping up on Firefox

Browser settings change An unknown change was detected on your browser's search settings: Keep my current settings. I am aware of this change and approve it.

how can I get rid of it?

Drop in savings menu started coming up on web pages recently-shows up in upper right corner and usually about where the logout word is when you want to close a program upper right corner and shows coupons. not sure if they're usable as I did not ask to be shown anything by the program I did not add so I don't trust where it might take me. How can I eliminate it from the browser or block it from running in the browser? I just need some technical instructions on how to find it when it runs and stop it.

I don't know when it happend first, but when I open a video on youtube with Firefox 6.xx, I always get a window (title "Javascript Application") with the message "Error: Div is null".

I tried upgrading to FF 7.xx beta, and also 'downgrading' to FF 5.xx again, but the error still appears. When I disable Javascript, the error doesn't appear, but this workaround can't be the solution.

Everything is fine with Adobe flash player 10.3.183.10 , but once i updated it to 11.0.1.152. Every embedded flash content on every site i visited can not display properly.

This only started happening with Firefox 7, all previous version worked fine. When using "Save Image", Firefox will not remember the most recent location in which images were saved. It will instead randomly choose prior locations in which images were saved. When saving images, I save them in different folders to sort them properly, but firefox never remembers the most recent one used. This is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING because if I want to saving a group of images in a common folder, it constantly forces me to navigate to that folder instead of remembering the location of that folder from the last image saved there.

When my computer locks up and I am trying to access the internet through Firefox, one of the processes using over 6,000K is titled: Install Brain Service.

  Do you know what that might be?

I recently downloaded Firefox 7.0.1 and went to the addons page to check which extensions and plug-ins weren't compatible. I download all the newest versions, including Java, version 6.27, I restarted my browser but it said that this version wasn't compatible with the newest firefox.
