Each time log on to firefox search engine it tells me I'm not on latest version, I've downloaded latest 3 times today and it's still telling me i'm not on latest. It's driving me nuts! and I see others have the same problem. My computer is telling me i've downloaded latest, what is going on

I am unable to update gmail, nor use HULU and other similar sites because I am unable to update my firefox. When I try, i get as far as opening the applications folder after downloading firefox, and i get a message that says: unable to use this app firefox on this version of MAC OS X op system. PLease help me get hooked up!

i would like to find a tool bar program that will let me add a radio like the brother ft radio. i have that one but it is not constant playing. it drops out all the time. does anyone here know of a good tool bar radio outside of the one that is full of the Ukrainian music. thanks

Hello guys,

changing the src attribute for the script tag dynamically by the use of JavaScript was working in Firefox 3.. and ist still working in IE, but it is not working in the new versions of Firefox anymore.

Following example shows the problem:

test.html

html

  head

    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
 <script type="text/javascript" src="fcts.js"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript" id="myscriptObject"></script>

  /head
  body
     <script> change_src() </script>

     <script> test() </script>
  /body
/html

fcts.js

function change_src(){

document.getElementById("myscriptObject").src = "fcts2.js";

}

fcts2.js

function test(){

alert("Hello");

}

The error console says: 'ReferenceError: test is not defined'

I have also tried to create the script element dynamically:

function change_src(){

 var script = document.createElement("script");
 script.type = "text/javascript";
 script.src = "fcts2.js";
 document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(script);

}

The result has been the same.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi

I am currently running Firefox 3.6.23 (hate the latest version reason I am have not updated to latest version) and I just reinstalled my system few months back. I went to play a game today and it said I was missing the Java applet for the game so I clicked find applet and firefox did a look for it and it failed to install so it gave me a manual install button.

I then clicked that and it took me out to the official Java website with the file that FF had failed to download and I went ahead and manually downloaded and installed the java applet program.

I then went back to the game site and when I ran the game it crashed firefox.

I know I have a chat site I use to frequent and same thing when I tried this few weeks back when I went it said it was missing and tried to install it and it would crash the browser even though in the past it worked fine.

What might be causing firefox to crash when running a java applet even though the program fire fox suggested is installed properly.

Thanks Dave

How can i get firefox to stop asking me to update my plug ins. Its annoying, plus i really dont care. I only visit a handful of sites and im not worried about having any security issues.

I have been offline for a long time, so nearly every time I load Firefox I get an invite to update. The last was Firefox setup 11.0 exe (http://mirror metrocast.net). I've tried several times to load and at 99% it freezes up. Then I repeat this cycle over and over. I'd like to either skip this update and move on or find a shortcut to load all available updates at one time with no more problems.

For instance, my toolbar for my buttons looked like this:

Hubby's                                        bookmarks

making each button very WIDE.

And my bookmark lists looked sort of like this:

Fox                                                 News     
The                                                 Right                                Scoop

IT'S A MESS!

This only happens running firefox on OSX, snow leopard. If I go to the verizon secure texting site to send a text message (vtext.com), After filling in form, when I click the submit button, a error message appears that URL www35.vzw.com SSL certificate has expired. If I look at the source HTML this URL is used an event callback. For what I do not know. If I check the URL certificate at Verisign and SSLshopper it indeed is reported as being expired. However, the problem is this. The expired SSL certificate is only reported in firefox on OSX. It is not reported by Chrome, Safari, or Internet explorer on OSX. On SUSE firefox does not report the expired certificate. Nor does chrome. The certificate is not reported as expired by firefox, chrome, or internet explorer on Windows. Why? Here is the code snippet

 var _hbEC=0, _hbE=new Array; function _hbEvent(a,b){b=_hbE[_hbEC++]=new Object();
 b._N=a;b._C=0;return b;}
 var hbx=_hbEvent("pv");hbx.vpc="HBX0200u";hbx.gn="www35.vzw.com";
 
   
  		hbx.acct="DM5701180EEZ;DM570203L6VD";
  	
  	hbx.mlc="/messaging/text+messaging";
  	 
  	hbx.pn="Send+a+Text+Message+Non-Registered";
  	hbx.pndef="title";

I am running Firefox version 3.6.23 and I keep getting a message saying that I should upgrade, but I am working on an older MacBook laptop computer with 640 MB of memory and an 800 MHz Power PC G4 with Mac OS X version 10.4.11 and when I tried to upgrade, your message said that it couldn't happen. Please let me keep running the older version of Firefox because it works fine on my old laptop.

When I open my 3.6 Firefox, it asks if I would like to upgrade. I say yes, and click the upgrade button. Everything appears to load ok. Then I get a screen to clear items shown. I clear, and there is no indication that it did not load. I can reboot the computer, and nothing has changed. Still have the old version. I have Windows XP Professional.

Hi I am trying to put a swf file on my website. Flash player comes on and says i need to update flash player. I have done this twice and when i go to my website it still says i need to update the flash player. what do i do?

Guys, before my last Windows crash down, I used FF with a pluging called "Image Host Grabber", which allowed to save ALL the images from a certain webpage (if those images were hosted on "imagevenue.com"). Now I have reinstalled this plugin, but it doesn't work at all. And when I try to get into its "settings", my FF jams up like an asshole, so I need to restart it... Is there a cure or maybe there's another picture grabber with similar capabilities?

I have read and tried the solutions posted under these links, but it is not solving the issue. http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/make-firefox-remember-usernames-and-passwords?s=how+to+save+password&r=1&as=s#w_make-firefox-remember-usernames-and-passwords
