On Wednesday, Apple release the new OS X Lion and there are now Multi Touch gestures using the trackpad. I am able to use those gestures in Safari, but I was wondering if there is a way I can use the multi-touch gestures in Firefox.

Get the following msg. when I try to open Firefox: " Close Firefox. A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time." No other copy is installed or running.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== After I reloaded a new copy of OS X. Previous system folder was archived.

Mac OSX Lion has hit the Mac App Store. It has several new features for Safari. The features are very cool, and I am hoping that Mozilla is planning on implementing similar features with Firefox. The main ones that I'm looking for is a better full screen mode and disappearing scroll bars.

I need to access a website that requires flash and an updated web browser. I have a Mac 10.3.9. My firefox browser is 2.0.0.17. Is there a later version that will work on a Mac 10.3 machine?

Firefox 9 bookmark icons have disappeared. this appears to have happened after updating to version 9 of Firefox for Mac. I only have a few add-ons, that should not conflict with the display of the icons. Menu bar bookmark icons still display, just not in the Bookmarks drop down menu.

Just upgraded to Mac OS X Lion which has changed some touch pad features. Scrolling left/right between web pages with two fingers does not work. I can scroll up & down but not left & right.

Also the up/down scroll within a window on a web page also does not work. The entire page scrolls up/down, but not the page within the window.

I am attempting to download "Firefox 3.5.10", each attempt the results state "The disk image failed to mount due to corrupt image". I really need this browser for my on-line learning. Please help! By the way 2.0 downloaded fine, but is not compatible with the University web site.

Running OS X Lion 10.7.1 Mac mini early 2009, 4GB RAM. No other problems except both Firefox and Chrome are incredibly slow opening web pages when compared to the same two browsers in Windows or to Safari in OS X.

This happens whether other applications are running or not. Internet speed has not changed (tested 6 Mbps), not using proxies, etc. Yes, I did test after Quitting all other apps. It makes no difference.

I have latest Firefox and now the latest OS X: Lion. But the pinch to zoom gesture (which works in Safari) will not work in Firefox web pages. I thought Firefox was upgraded to work with Lion. So why not the zoom or is there something I need to do to FF to get this feature to work?

I just upgraded to Lion OSX and when using Firefox 5 I can no longer use swipe commands on the trackpad to move backward and forward between web pages. I opened Safari and these features work fine. Prior to upgrading to Lion, all of these features worked in Firefox 5.

My Mac OS X 10.3.9 with Firefox cannot handle Hotmail basic function sending emails. I can't upgrade the browser. I can receive email.

Title says it all. I just upgraded to Mac OS X Lion, and can no longer use a finger swipe, whether one or 2 fingered, to move backwards an forwards between pages. I can still do so in Safari, but not in Firefox 5.01, my preferred browser, any longer. Doesn't matter if I try using one, two or more fingers

Is there a fix for this? Thank you.

I am getting the mentioned error every time I open and close Firefox. I ended up putting my computer clock back by two hours just so I could send this message to you all. This is a hassle, I need help. The certificate for xml.freecause.com gices the 443 error and there is no way out of the loop it enters when I press cancel. The certificate is expired and I have to set the time in my computer to a time that is before the expiration of the certificate to get firefox to work.

I ended up removing the Advantage toolbar and everything works fine now. Thank you all for your input.

I have a Mac G5 system 10.3.9 too old to accept latest Firefox upgrade. Tried it and get 'corrupt file' message. What do I do? My hotmail account will not now work!

Previously, I had no difficulty w/ downloading pdfs. Now all I get is a blank Firefox screen, with nothing else happening--no downloads window opening up like before, or anything else. I recently upgraded my Adobe Acrobat to 10.1.3, and I wonder whether this is related to that? Does FireFox not find the new Acrobat? I've gone through the things on the Firefox help page like changing download folder and renaming the whatever folder it was from what: rdp? to rdp.old. Does not effect problem.
