I know how to added a site to the "Exceptions - Cookies" list an block the site. The problem I have is the site just changes the first part of its name/url and adds the cookie to the list. SInce the site is using a 8 digit number; it is impossible to block all the name/url it can create. Is there a way to block all the possible name/url by using a wild card symbol? Like the "*" symbol in UNIX. Example *.xxxx.xxx.com to the list of sites I wish to block?

Can a loaded up browser keep from downloading quick ? thanks Jeff

I am trying to update firefox and thunderbird and seamonkey on my IBM AIX 5.3/7.1 systems.

Trying to find the latest version that works on my system.

Environment:

  IBM pSeries hardware (Power 4 and Power 6) running AIX 5.3 and AIX 7.1.

IBM latest version is 3.6.26. Really need a newer version. Having problems at a number of web sites.

Anyone know where I can find a newer executable binary? Or the latest source with the instruction on how to build firefox on my system using gcc 4.7.2?

I use explorer mostly. When they updated their last time, I came across problems with company website not able to accept the update. so, I then use Firefox without any problem. Until it's trying to update. I don't want this company website to stop working with another update until some site won't work I don't want the update!!! explorer has always had these issues I don't want to have Firefox have the same issue!!! My argument has nothing to do with your Firefox it's explorer causing me to go else-ware and I can't afford to loose access!!

The report tab says my OS is Windows NT, but it's actually XP Home. (Yes, that's how old my computer is -- and that's why I'm looking for a solution other than just trying to see how updated a version of Firefox the computer can handle.)

The problem doesn't happen every time I try to search Google (or every time I succeed in getting to a page of search results and try accessing one of them). But it happens quite a lot, and often multiple times in succession. And when I try to use Crash Reporter to tell you, I get one of two responses:

(1) the standard autobot-reply suggesting an upgrade and this path; or, more often, (2) nothing.

I don't want to abandon you -- and it would be hard to replace the computer at the moment. So what (to coin a phrase) can Mozilla do for me?

[UPDATE: The troubleshooter program won't install -- says it's not compatible with my old version of Firefox (3.6.20, says the About option in the Help menu). And the "show details" link at the bottom of this page won't reveal your "educated guesses about [my] current browser and operating system", so I can't do more to correct them -- sorry.]

I have been using my 3.6.28 Firefox for more than 3 years and still want to use it in the future. Some functions are not working when I visit websites so I need to install the newest as to see them. I have Google Chrome as my second browser but would like to swap it for the latest Firefox. Read on some forum that its not possible to have two Firefox browsers on the same Win OS. Is it possible to have both my old Firefox 3 and Firefox 20 installed on the same Win XP OS as teo different programs?

No matter whether I am using FireFox on MAC or Windows my new posted home page is not showing up when I access the domain. The home page in question is only a jpeg image labeled index.html in the prime directory. The jpeg or "home page" is accessible and is coming up correctly in IE. I am checking it on a desktop MAC and a Windows 7 laptop. Again the home page is only one file.

hi everyone...

just as the title said, whenever i load the site lazada.co.id, as soon as it finishes loading, it quickly redirects to pxs.atomex.net within a second. it keeps loading that page and it stucks there. the description in the status bar says "transferring data from pxs.atomex.net..." and it never finishes. i'm using FF 3.6.28 by the way.

but, when i use the latest FF (i.e.: FF 20), this problem doesn't happen. the lazada.co.id site loads the way it should be. as soon as it finishes loading, and the status bar says "done", it stops there without redirecting to pxs.atomex.net. so you see that this is not some malware or virus related issues. and both FFs are set to default settings.

i like using FF 3.6.28 so much. is there a way to fix this without having me to upgrade my browser? is there anything i should change in the about:config to match the settings in the latest FF? please help. thank you.

I just upgraded an old MacBook from 10.4 to 10.6 + updates. I can finally upgrade my Firefox from version 3. But from within Firefox 3 itself I don't seem to have the usual options to check for updates and install them (maybe they weren't invented yet in 2004). So, I downloaded the installer for Firefox 20 "manually" and was about to drag Firefox.app into /Applications, when I had a moment of doubt about simply overwriting the old Firefox.app. I know updates applied from within the program don't clobber preferences and bookmarks, but when that's not possible, is the installer from scratch just as kind? If not, how do I save them to be reimported once I've upgraded Firefox?

I have a series of questions related to the OS dictionary and about looking up the definitions of words and spelling. With Safari I could use Command+: to turn on Spell checker and loved using it. I have spell checker turned on with FireFox via Preferences/Advanced/Check my spelling as I type and like the other method better. I suppose I could get used to the method FireFox uses, but don't understand why cmd: can't work too. I even went in through system preferences and added it as a keyboard shortcut for Firefox without success. I dont' see anything in the pulldown menu's using that key-combination so what's blocking it? Another important feature that doesn't work is I can't click on a word to look up the definition. That's an important feature and I use it often. Because of these I stopped using firefox and continue using Safari even though Safari doesn't work for a main site I visit. Safari is also generally slow and locks up constantly causing me a lot of grief. If the problems I wrote about worked I wouldn't use Safari again and would commit to using Firefox. I would appreciate knowing how to do what I'm trying to do. Thanks,

Chris

The download pop-up window save or cancel. At save the download begins with the download window monitoring the download. When the download is finished the right-click option is not accessible for "open". Double clicking the download does not open it. The file is not saving in the specified "Downloads" folder that I have selected in the options window. I just bought a DVD Decoder downloaded it and now I have to open it or I have to buy it again. Is there someway I can open the file? Mozilla 3.6.8 did not allow the Troubleshooter 1.1.a

I have been using Firefox since you guys started & never had a problem till now. I cannot save any images from any website no matter what the type & it is only happening on Firefox & it started when I upgrade to Ver. 20 which by the way I HATE....I prefer the older version so I loaded that back onto my computer BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. It is only happening on FIREFOX cause I downloaded these images using Internet Explorer which actually is easier now to use than your new Ver. 20.......

Anyway if I click on image & then "save as" & tell it where to download....it goes through the process & even shows up in the download window like it has downloaded....but if you click on the download window to see the image...nothing happens.....if you go to the file where you downloaded the image to, the file is NOT there??????? Now like I said this started after it updated to version 20...I now have Version 3.6.8 loaded....cause I do not want this new version 20....I am an old man, I have Windows Vista Ultimate on my desktop.....and I do not like the layout of 20 & it is very hard to do anything....anyway can you TELL ME PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS what is going on & why did this all happen & the big thing.....HOW THE HECK DO I FIX IT PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.......

thank you...William

Since downloading Firefox 3.6.28, each time I open Firefox I get a message window suggesting I download the latest version of Firefox. I must decline the suggestion before I can proceed. How do I stop the Firefox message window from popping up when I open Firefox? I use Mac OX 10.6.8

I have two Mac G4 desktop computers and have always had autoscrolling Firefox. Now the feature is no longer working. I don't recall updating Firefox recently, but can't go beyond my current version, 3.6.28 because the machines are not Intel.

The autoscroll is very useful. I have tried checking the Preferences..Autoscrolling is checked. I have tried restarting. No luck. I cannot start in Safe Mode as there is no option for it.

If there is some fix for this, it's not apparent on the Firefox Help Website. So any suggestion that would restore this feature will be very much appreciated. It doesn't seem to be a plug in, or and add on. My feeling is there may be some resetting procedure necessary...but I have no idea how to do that. Again, help to restore Autoscrolling very much appreciated. It worked for years...all I had to do was press the middle mouse button. It could go slow and faster. Now what happens when I press the middle button is that I get my dashboard apps. Hmm.

Thanks!

When the classmates.com website is called up the page appears as requested but as soon as the transfer of data is complete the page disappears and the Firefox browser, not the system shuts down.

There is a similar problem with the Fedex tracking website. The page appears for less than a second ant then the status indication at the bottom left of the page indicates that the page is stopped.

within a flash click the opposite mouse button and you may change some Adobe flash settings like allowing camera and microphone access.

but once you've done that Adobe dumps a kind of version checker on your system.

you'll see that after the next boot, when a big standalone window with 'An update to your Adobe Flash Player is available" mid screen occurs subject you player is not the latest.

where is this hecking cookie or whatever stored - can't find it in the registry nor within Docs & Settings or elsewhere.

in my opinion a good role model for all spywarer and really disgraceful for such a big company.

The link connects to my G drive and it should open up a folder for me to store things on my hard drive. This works on IE although I usually use firefox at home so I changed my browser at work. Can you tell me how to make these links work so that i can use a website online that will connect to my offline folders?

Would appreciate it very much.
