Firefox from one minute to the next crashed. Everytime I opened it up, it became unresponsive. Never an error message, just a pure freeze. The CPU does not go into overdrive. I did a complete uninstall. Created a new profile. As soon as i closed my session, the problem persisted. Even in safe mode, the application freezes completely within 1-3 seconds. Using the latest firefox windows 7 up to date

Plain and simple. An app for my university (student) which requires Java Desktop 6.0.2.9 no longer works. It's only since the install of FFox 8 and since it uses Java I can only assume the incompatibility with Java Desktop 6.0.29 is the problem.

Where can I download a copy of FFox 7 until this issue is resolved.

I had many sites bookmarked in Firefox 7. All these bookmarks were associated to icons linked to the sites. Almost all my bookmarks lost their icons (now replaced by an empty square) after updating to Firefox 8. Que pasa ??

Hello,

   We have been using Outlook Web Access 2010 within our organization for a few months now, and have been using firefox to do so. With the latest Firefox 8 update, it seems that certain attachments download as "attachment.ashx". Yes, I said ASHX not ASPX. My research tells me that ashx files have to do with the .NET Framework. It seems that this is only occurring since we downloaded Firefox 8.

   Yes, changing the file extension allows us to open the files, and we can set a program to handle the file extension, but that would only apply when the ashx extension is only affecting one file type, but it seems to happen for more than 1 document type. I have experienced this issue with .pdf, .doc, .xls, .docx and .xlsx.

   Any ideas as to what would be causing this as of the latest update?

Same question which I've already posed. IF I can be supplied with a working email addy - I'd be happy to include some screen shots illustrating exactly what it is I'm asking here... Please send me an email addy to continue. Thanks.

I mechanically clear EVERYTHING often when browsing. What I'm getting live arrows on for a Clear are: Browing & Download History Form & Search History (this is the ONE NOT working, no hot arrow) Next is Cookies then Cache Then Active Logins Then finishes up with Site Preferences.

IT IS THE FORM 7 SEARCH HISTORY which won't clear using new Firefox 8.1 where in 8.0 it did. Thanks.

After a Google search, when I click on any URL Firefox opens a random url and an "opening search" box pops up with the following message

You have chosen to open

search

which is a: application/json(-1 bytes) from: http://www.google.co.in

What should Firefox do with this file ?

Open with

DownloadThemAll

Save File

What is causing this ? How do I restore normal behaviour ?

the browser is started home page loads up. but if I request to go to a web page it shows that the request is asking for my request in the new tab but it just sits there. If I go to the address HTTP bar and hit enter again I usually get the info right away

Since I have installed the new version of Firefox (version 8.0), every single file I download is downloaded as "attachment.ashx" and won't open. I have to change the name as well as the file type in order to open the document.

This happens regardless of if I'm downloading from email, from a website, etc.. All of the files I have downloaded also have already been named and had file types appended, but Firefox is changing them every single time. I have never had this problem before using the same sites and downloads.

My home PC running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Home Premium has been recently upgraded with Firefox 8.0. As noted, Java Console 7.0.01 is incompatible and is disabled by Firefox 8.0.

Since upgrading to 9 I find that visiting web sites invariably means a 10 second or more wait until they load.

Once the site eventually loads subsequent clicks to other pages are much faster.

This happens even with all add ons deactivated.

when i tried to open certain porn website like xhamster, xvideos, pornhub and other porn sites. fire fox opens the main page but when i click on any video to open, it opens a page on top of which it is written OBJECT MOVED TO HERE. where this HERE is underlined and when i click on HERE it opens the youtube website. i restarted fire fox and also re started my computer many times but problem remains the same. i have been using and watching all these site since long but never such thing occur. this is the first time i am having this problem. please let me know how i can solve this problem???

I recently upgraded my firefox to firefox 8.0 & after the conversion, i realised that some of my add-ons were disabled. i had to manually enable some of them, however, i found that the add-on "java console 6.0.27" was permanently disabled as the version was not compatible with firefox 8.0. Since java console 6.0.27 was permanently disabled, i cannot view PDF documents on-line as the words are blurred and faded. I need to have this problem rectified as soon as possible. If it cannot be resolved, how can i revert to the previous version of firefox i had before conversion?

i have a problem.Flash Player upgrade required You must download and install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player to view this content. but my Flash player is updated. i use ubuntu10.4, firefox 8.0

I just update to Firefox 8 and a whole bunch of favicons in the address bar and the toolbar that worked fine in FF 7 now display with a dotted line square. Force refreshing or using an extension like Places does not fix the issue.

Approximately 20% of my sites that have working favicons in every other browser no longer work in Firefox 8

After updating Firefox to 8.0, the attachments that come in my Outlook email will not download properly. The file attachment in the email is still correct, but when I go to open or download the file, the window that pops up to ask what to do with the file calls the file "attachment.ashx". I've never seen this before. If I rename the file after downloading, and put the correct format back on it (e.g. .jpg, .pdf), the file opens fine.

How can I get my attachments to download again with their proper file name and file extension?

I've been using Firefox for many months to access my work email using Outlook Web Access (OWA). Clicking on an attachment always resulted in the file being downloaded intact (mostly pdfs and Word docs). Suddenly yesterday all file types result in the download of "attachment.ashx". I had not changed anything in Firefox. I restarted Ff and then my computer without effect. I then deleted and reinstalled Ff -- no change. Now in the applications window pdfs and docs aren't listed, but I can't get them in there anyway because they don't download as such. I am using Ff 8.0 on MacOS 10.6.8.

Is it only me or etc people are having trouble installing flash player in IE 9 and firefox 8

Once clicked on download button for flash player website in IE9 it says this "the webpage cannot be found". In firefox 8.0 it says this "The requested URL /bin/install_flashplayer11x64_mssd_aih.exe was not found on this server."

This morning i tried downloading it in firefox and installing worked but i accidentally uninstalled it. In IE9 after i downloaded the file in my computer and it was in the process of downloading it b4 it could install it, but it stopped automatically.

Since then till now it won't download it in my computer! Is there a problem with adobe servers and their website or there's a problem in my IE9 and firefox

My laptop is Windows 7 SP1 with all the latest updates and patches and with up-to-date MSE.
