Is the latest Java 7 update 17 safe to enable now? I noticed after updating, it was still disabled, but no longer blocked in red by Firefox. My assumption is that it's safe, since not "in the red" currently. However, I'd like to be sure before I re-enable it. Thanks!

Everytime I start firefox on my Mac after I installed the latest update, each session starts with a problem-window stating: Excuses voor het ongemak. Firefox ondervindt problemen bij het herstellen van uw vensters en tabbladen. dit wordt meestal veroorzaakt door een onlangs geopende pagina.

The pages that I used are different pages everytime. I am using Firefox for about 6 years already, never had problems...

I have tried evertything: re-installing, check plugins, cool-start, close tabs, change opening preference website, erase cookies and history etc etc. Hours and hours...but the problem is repeating and it is annoying.

Will there be a new release with bugfixes?

Running auto updated Firefox 17.0.1 on Windows 7. I used to be able to stream Netflix just fine until late in the evening, 11/30/2012. I tried to stream a movie and Netflix showed a window saying it couldn't due to a problem using Silverlight, code 2103. Netflix suggested I remove and reload Silverlight. I did, twice. I also updated Firefox yesterday, just in case. Still, no joy. I can stream Netflix just fine with Internet Explorer. What gives?

Da ich der englischen Sprache nicht gerade sehr mächtig bin und bis Firefox 18.0.0 stets alle Tabs, Befehle, Dropdowns u.a. auf Deutsch vorhanden waren, ist dies sehr ärgerlich. Ich dachte zunächst, dass es sich nur um einen Fehler dieses speziellen Updates handeln würde, doch mit dem neuesten Update 19.0.0 hat sich an den englischsprachigen Einstellungen nichts geändert.

Wie also kann ich Firefox wieder auf Deutsch umstellen, ohne es komplett neu installieren zu müssen??

Hello,

I really dislike the "new" 20.bla-bla-bla version of FF because of the download window that appear in library window (wtfFF) and the colorful file system icons in it. SO I want to get back my "old" 19.0.2... Is this possible in therms of the structurаl differences mentioned above in the v.20?

I know about the site where I can find the exact version I need for downgrade with, but can I just run the setup without saving any data... just like when upgrading?

Please answer my question and let me know how to downgrade 20 to 19.0.2...

Thank you very much!!!

Firefox version 20 crashes on startup. I get a crash reporter saying it had a problem and crashed.Clicking the restart firefox a few times allows it to start in safe mode and it works in that.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, keeping only bookmarks, etc, but it still fails on startup.

I am using Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I had been using Firefox a few hours earlier and it was OK, the problems started after I shut the computer down and IE 10 was automatically installed - I was up to that time using IE 8. Firefox was my default browser.

I have since installed Google Chrome and that works OK. I have not tried reverting Internet Explorer back to version 8 in case I end up loosing my bookmarks etc, which are required for work.

Any advice on this ?

The troubleshooting information was obtained while in safe mode.

I have reset Firefox. I have reset to blank and to Mozilla as default. I don't understand your instructions about malware (but is it???) resetting and too nervous in messing up my laptop to try ! :(

I now detest Delta Search and want it totally removed forever.

Nothing gets rid of it.

<https://github.com/bower/bower>

pressing the down key no longer seems to scroll the page down. I've not tested it, but I'm fairly sure I used to be able to scroll with just the keyboard.

Not really a question, more of a plea...

Firefox 18.0 crawls on my machine. Not the browsing as such; that's only a little slower than 17.0.1 (still noticeable). I'm talking about opening and traversing menus and entering text in text fields on sites. I had to go back to 17.0.1 as it was just too annoying. This is on Linux Mint Debian Edition (Debian Testing), using the nl localized Firefox downloaded from the Mozilla site. Switching off extensions and/or using a new profile didn't help. If this doesn't get any better in following versions, I'll have to look for another browser when 17.0.1 becomes too old. Please don't make me do that. I've just tried Chrome and quite frankly, it's a bit of a joke...
