Hi,
I'm currently running Fedora v.7 and have Firefox v.2. I'm trying to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox and having problems doing so. I tried the cmd: yum update firefox and got the results listed below:

fedora 100% |=========================| 2.1 kB 00:00
updates 100% |=========================| 2.3 kB 00:00
Setting up Update Process
Could not find update match for firefox
No Packages marked for Update
I then downloaded the latest version of Firefox from the website, but there is no .rpm file or .bz2 file which I can use to do the install. Could you please provide me with instructions on how I can do the upgrade?

Using MAC OS 10.2.8 and FireFox 2.0.0.20. Never any issues until 3 days ago. Went to my files hosting site and I wasn't automatically logged in. Went to log in and I am unable to type in my name and password in the fields. Mouse stays the arrow. Have cleared all cookies and emptied the cache per trouble shooting advice. Other than this it is working fine.

When I check the version of Firefox I have on my computer, it says FF3. However, when I go to various sites, I keep getting the prompt that my browser is not up to date and I may not be able to view it all. when I sign in, I also get the message to update and I have done this several times with no deletion of the prompt. Should I remove FF and then reinstall it? Can you give me steps I need to take to make these prompts disappear? Thanks.

I have firefox on a Linux pc and have downloaded updates but then. How shall I get them installed? It is an Acer aspire one with Linux installed by Acer at factory. In the firefox "about" field it says: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; sv-SE; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080612 Fedora/2.0.0.14-20080612.fc8.acer Firefox/2.0.0.14

Where to click? Best regards Gunnar Norén Sweden

I'm trying to log into a hotmail.co.uk account via mail.live.com and keep getting the above error. I have cleared recent history and disabled Adblock but no success. I'm using Windows 7 SP1 and Firefox 5.0:

The page isn't redirecting properly

 Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
       
 This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
   cookies.

The error page then received is as follows:

Server Error in '/' Application. Runtime Error Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<configuration>

   <system.web>
       <customErrors mode="Off"/>
   </system.web>

</configuration>

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

<configuration>

   <system.web>
       <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
   </system.web>

</configuration>

Would appreciate any help you can give. Many thanks, Ben

I have had Firefox 2.0 installed on my Mac Book 10.4 Tiger for a long time. Now I have to do an online course that requires Firefox 3.0 or newer. I cannot download 3.6 because it's not compatible. I get an error message. How do I find an older version than 3.6 to install?

Mac G4 PPC Mac OSX 10.4.11 with Firefox 2.0.0.7 having problems showing certain lines of text, Click and Drag option not working. Is there a specific version of Firefox that works best for this configuration?

Several sites, specifically gmail and all of myspace, recommend I upgrade to the newest version of my browser in order to enjoy a betetr experience. Seems these sites do not recognize that I am running firefox 10.0.2, these sites work fine in chrome but not firefox.

Message on gmail site: Some important features may not work in this version of your browser, so you have been redirected to the Basic HTML version.

Message on myspace: Upgrade your browser for a better Myspace experience.

Hi. I am currently using an old Firefox browser on Windows XP. I have attempted to update to the latest version but it keeps failing - download extractions fail. The file shows as corrupt and will not download or install.

I am using Windows 98 on an old computer. I have been using Firefox 2.0.0.20. I get frequent "Unresponsive Script" error messages. In the past I extended the time but I am back to getting numerous of these errors. What can I do to fix this? If I should go to a later version, which should it be and where do I get the download? If I do go to a later version, do I need to delete the oldversion first? Also, will my Bookmarks be saved?

I'm using a netbook with linux and firefox 2. I tried to download the newest version of Firefox, but it will not open. It says to change the helper application in preferences, but I don't know what that is. I need to upgrade my system because of security issues. Please Help!!!!

I just got a Macbook and am having trouble scrolling through my bookmarks in Firefox 9.0.1. Whenever I scroll down the bookmark list, the cursor opens the first nestled category folder it comes to, causing that folder to open all the bookmarks inside it and stay inside that nestled folder. This makes it almost impossible to scroll down the rest of the bookmark list to open the one I want.
