MORE THAN 160 MILLION PEOPLE'S NATIONAL LANGUAGE AND 130 MILLION PEOPLE OF INDIA SPEAK URDU, BUT THIS THERE ISN'T ANY URDU VERSION.?

Operating system

Windows Xp 64-bit Professional Edition

Every once in awhile after closing Firefox 3.6.13 the process continues to run. The way I discover this is my CPU temperature monitor is increasing from 36C to 50C, so I open the Task Manger and see that it is using 50% of the CPU, slowing down the computer. I am running XP Professional 64 bit SP2 with all the latest updates on an Intel E8400 3.0GHz overclocked to 3.6GHz and 4GB dual channel DDR2-1066 at 800MHz. This happens only occasionally, maybe once or twice a month. I just end the task and the temperature of the CPU drops and everything is normal again.

I just built a new system, loaded all files and installed all need software, but one...Firefox. Came to the site, clicked to download the 3.6 version and I got a message saying "File Corrupt." I cannot install Firefox or even start the download of the installer for some reason. Then tried to disable my firewall, and still continued. I love firefox and would like to be able to continue use with this program...

There is a registry key that can be edited to have IE do this. Is there a way to have Firefox pop up a dialog box asking what I want to do with the PDF file? Here is the IE registry key: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.7]

  "EditFlags"=hex:00,00,00,00

I am using Firefox 4.0.1. I have checked the settings on my browser under Tools / Options / Tabs and "open new windows in tabs" is set. However, whenever I click on a link on a website, Firefox opens the link in a new window. This occurs even if I right click on the link and choose the option to open the link in a new tab instead of a new window.

This behavior began just recently. To the best of my knowledge, none of the add-ons have updated recently.

When Firefox 4 (final) was released I tried it on Windows 7 and it worked fine. I decided to downgrade back to Windows XP 64 on the same machine and found Firefox would usually unexpectedly close roughly 5 to 10 seconds after launch, with no error message or crash report. If I open it several times it works fine eventually, as if it does not close after about 15 seconds it doesn't prematurely close at all.

Firefox 4 installed on Win 2K3 R2 server OS fails to play radio streams that play just fine on the same machine using IE7. Server has just been rebuilt with fresh OS install and may need plugins? Popup player appears but produces no sound - animated buffering icon simply spins and spins and spins . . .

I think it's a bug, but I can't figure out where to post a bug report. I use tab groups (Firefox 5.0), and love them. But often, when I close a tab in one group, I get automatically switched to another tab group. More rarely, Firefox rearranges which tabs are in which groups when this happens. This usually seems to happen when I'm on a pinned "App Tab" (Gmail), and then choose to close one of the tabs via clicking its X with the mouse. I currently have 6 tab groups, all but one of which are named.

ClamAv finds Trojan.Bredolab in Firefox Setup 3.6.9. I'm downloading from this url:

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.6.9&os=win&lang=en-US

I don't wanna firefox14 add 'www' prefix for me there lots of domain just using root domain "xxx.com" but not this type of "www.xxx.com"

firefox14 try to add "www" there really anonying.

firefox 13 do not have this issue

xp64 is not supported and never has been, outside of that some versions of firefox work quite well with this OS, looking to find which version has proved to be most successful with minimal operational problems.

Error message: "Sorry, Minefield can't be installed. This version of Minefield requires Microsoft Windows Vista x64 or newer."

Why? I'm running a bloody 64-bit OS. Why is my OS locked out?

I downgraded to 3.x because when I browse I have many new open windows (I have been using FF for so long I automatically select the second option). Seems stupid to change the order of the context menu when it has been the other way forever.

Please change it back or at least have the order as an option.

I today had the problem that after trying to upgrade Java 7 U10 to Java 7 U11, that the Java Platform (TM) completely disappears from the Add-ons manager. I was also not able to use any websites anymore the require the Java add-on.

Tried everything ... tried to install the Java 7 U11 update three times, completely uninstalled all java versions and installed them again, also re-installed Firefox 18, but nothing solved the problem. It also had nothing to do that mozilla disabled the java these days because of a security risk, or because of things like NoScript that I run. It´s simply not been possible anymore to get the Java plugin running in Firefox. Also deleting the plugin.reg and rebuilding it doesnt help at all.

I have seen that there have been two threads in the forum before:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/924704 with 339 people having this problem, but the thread was closed 3 months ago with no solution

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/861922 with 203 people having this problem, but the thread was closed 11 months ago, also with no solution

It´s still the same problem, but also an extensive search on google did not show any solution to this problem. So, this is still an open problem, and unfortunately the two previous forum posts have been closed.

However, I found out the solution to the problem, so i post it here so it may help other people, too:

The JavaPlugin is not registered in the registry. And even uninstalling and installing Java will not add it to the registry again.

Solution:

In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MozillaPlugins, a new branch with the name @java.com/JavaPlugin,version=10.11.2 needs to be created,

with the following 7 keys:

(Default) REG_SZ (value not set)

Description REG_SZ Oracle® Next Generation Java™ Plug-In

GeckoVersion REG_SZ 1.9

Path REG_SZ C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\plugin2\npjp2.dll

ProductName REG_SZ Oracle® Java™ Plug-In

Vendor REG_SZ Oracle Corp.

Version REG_SZ 1.7.0_11

The entries are going to be different for each java version (this one is for Java 7 U11) and for your personal install path, but what you can do is to copy the registry keys from another machine that runs the same java version that you want to use (for example from your notebook or from a virtual machine) by exporting them from that machine, and importing them to the machine that has the problem.

It fixed the problem on my machine, java plug-in runs fine again.

I hope this is going to help some hundred people having the same problem, so I am glad to publish it in the forum. Not all users will be able to find a solution to this problem. It would be great if an admin could add a link to this post under the two previous posts that were closed, where no solutions has been posted, so people going there via google can find the solution in this thread.

Recently updated to Firefox 6 and Netflix instant watch won't work ... I re-installed silverlight but that didn't help. I can't find a way to rollback to Firefox 5.0, how can i fix this issue?
