I have Firefox 14.01 it works fine whereas when I upgraded to 20 I had nothing but error messages & it kept stopped working. Now the 14.01 version works fine.

But I need a email program & tried download Thurderbird it won't let me open it extracts from setup but then a window opens with Administrator & password. I don't know for sure if I set up a user name & password with Firefox but I tried using the one I set up for the help/support for Firefox & it doesn't work.

Can anyone help me with this problem? I am not an advanced user so I would appreciate any help I can get. My present email is: mich29******jabb.com

uninstalled Quick Time to reinstall new version and supposedly downloaded, cant find it. Can I reinstall Quick TIme? Also, Firefox is not opening any pages, says cant find server in mozilla. Also I do not have a tools tab to add plug in

This is the second time I'm filling in all of this information, I hope it works this time.

A while back I changed mailto to Firefox in Options>Applications>mailto After that, when I would click on an email address, Firefox would open new tabs VERY quickly and would not stop until I used Task Manager to close Firefox. I then went back and changed mailto back to Always Ask. But the same thing still happens when I click an email address, Firefox opens tabs very rapidly until I close it with task manager. I then checked the settings in about:config "network.protocol-handler.external.mailto" and it is set to default, boolean, true I don't want a default email program to be set, I want it to always ask. Please help with this. Thank you.

Hello Firefox Forum helpers

So Yesterday i opened Mozilla and everything was normal Till i got a weird message saying the Following : A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

Script: http://www.gstatic.com/bg/vCt3jT-yDKiibCfPvg7VU88K5y9oo1XwPZhbNBmPvNI.js:1 ..............

and when i hit Continue Firefox Freezes and start to Not Respond and then Shuts Down and I've tried to Stop Script too but it's not working . the Same problem

Some people Advised me to Change my browser but of Course No i won't Change Firefox

and this happens for Sites such As Facebook, blogs , any site with Ads on it

i've installed java Several times i've updated Mozilla Too .. i have no Add ons

Please any Solutions this problem is Bugging me

Before the last upgrade there was a space to manually enter an http site or modify one that was there. Where did it go or where is it now?

I'm a basic user and have been from Netscape days. Even have the T shirt!!!

The problem is I just changed my profile's location and moved all the stuff in my old profile to the new one, everything is ok except I found my histroy library was blank. There are no folder icons such as "Today," "Yesterday," "Last 7 Days", "This Month", "Last Month",...,"Show All History", which I should have previously. I searched for some frequently-viewed websites and they showed up with all different time up to yesterday, so places.sqlite is not corrupt. All of my browsing history are still there in places.sqlite but there are just no any folders to show them. So I wonder where is those folder info be saved and how to let firefox rebuild these folders?

Many many thanks, hope someone could help.

I made the mistake of clicking "check for updates" because it instead downloaded the update. I have my settings set to "check for updates but let me choose whether to install them" but the "Check for Updates" button does not allow me to choose... they're downloaded immediately.

This is a serious violation of my trust in Firefox and I will not allow these updates to be installed. If I can't stop them... I will uninstall Firefox and wash my hands of Mozilla permanently.

Firefox 14.0.1 Mac OS X 10.7.5

Ever since I upgraded from Firefox 3 (which I waited so long to do because I couldn't customize the newer Firefox the way I wanted to) to Firefox 14.0.1, I have had a problem.

I guess that one of the websites I visit is trying to imitate Windows, where the background becomes grayed out whenever it wants you to concentrate on a response box. So when I am on a third-party email site (Inbox.com), and delete a message, when the message box pops up to ask me if I really want to delete the message, the background becomes grayed out while the response box is displayed. This never happened on that site when I used Firefox 3, and I would like to prevent this from happening.

I have tried to manage this with an add-on (Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus), but it won't allow me to select the grayed out part of the screen the way it does with unsolicited "pop-ups".

Is there a Firefox setting or an add-on I can use to keep the background from becoming "grayed out"?

Thank you

I am having issues finding a work around to intall flash on my work laptop.

I did some searching and was able to find the work around below. However, there was no plugins folder and when I tried to create one, I was denied creating a new folder. So, I tried find another work around and some said I can go into Run: %APPDATA% and it will bring me to Firefiox extension, plugins, etc. There was no plugin folder, so I created one and saved it into the plugin folder. It looked like it too, but then when I went to restart Firefox, it kept crashing and running slow. I made sure that I was using the correct DLL. Is there another work around?

If you are a Firefox user and want to use Flash but do not have administrative privileges do the following:

   Download the latest version of the Firefox Flash plugin from the adobe website. Your best option is to right-click the download link and select Save As.
   Extract the contents of the downloaded file to a folder on the local system. You may need to change the file extension to zip if you have only access to the standard Windows unzipper.
   Move the two files NPSWF32.dll (NPSWF64.dll for 64 bit) and flashplayer.xpt into the Firefox plugin directory e.g.: C:\Program Files\Firefox\plugins. The plugin directory is located in the root directory if you are using a portable version of Firefox, if Firefox is installed is is located in the profile folder. Easiest option to find out where the folder is located is to enter about:support in the address bar. This works for Firefox 3.6 and up.
   If no Plugins folder exist create the folder and move the two Flash Player files into the folder.
   Restart Firefox to make this work and visit http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ to check your flash player version number.
   You can now enjoy Flash based contents. Be aware that the plugin is not auto-updating itself. You need to make sure to keep it up to date manually.

I start up the laptop. Once password entered, i get the desktop. I click on firefox to take me to google and instead of doing so, I get the last two tabs of the websites i last visited. then I have to click on the third unused tab and click on google and then ask my question. It didn't used to be like this (since July 2012). I could go to the desktop, click on firefox and go straight to google images (although I didn't like this option and I would have preferred it to go straight to google search, but it never did, seem to go straight to google images which meant I then had to click on google search. Now it doesn't do this at all and I have to cope with the last two tabs of webpages and click on the X to get rid of them every single time. Most frustating. I use windows 7, vista and firefox as my search engine. Microsoft security essentials is the protective anti virus set up that came with the laptop.

When I launch Mozilla from my home computer, I have AOL as my home page and I keep getting an error. I'm able to go to facebook, yahoo, AOL mail but not AOL.com. I have windows XP. Any suggestions?

Latest version of Firefox freezes solid on load. 14.01 fixes the problem. Reinstalled 19.02 and problem reappeared. Disabling Norton Firewall temporarily did not fix the problem. Reinstalled 14.01 a second time and problem went away again. Running Win 8 on a Toshiba Satellite laptop.
