Well i just tried to upgrade from 3.6 to 4.0 only to immediately discover this lost my ability to listen to eve radio.com. (streaming internet radio) Both FF versions had the same plugins and such enabled and up to date in particular the WMP addon, checked volume/mixer on the computer and site etc etc but gave up and uninstalled 4 and reinstalled 3.6. Not sure if its the windows media player not working with the new 4.0 or what, but i will be sticking to 3.6 until this works with the new version.

Using FireFox ver 3.6.16 in Win7 64 bit. When I open my Livemail email and highlight a portion of that email, it will not print.

I choose 'print' from 'file', select 'selection' then 'print' and nothing happens. I can copy and paste the selection to Microsoft Word and it will print.

I can also open Livemail.com in Internet Explorer, highlight the portion of the email text, choose print under file, choose 'selection' and it will print with no problem.

There may be other web based stuff that will not print but we have not had this combination (Win7 and FireFox) long enough to know.

When trying to log into my bank accounts (2), I always get a security Challenge Page even though I have repeatedly checked the box to register my computer as a private computer. When I attempt to get into these same two accounts using Internet Explorer, I skip the Challenge Page and go directly to the Log In page. What settings do I need to change in Firefox so that I don't get the Challenge Page every time?

I am using windows 7 Home Premium, on an HP. I use and enjoy the Firefox browser. The only major extension that could cause clicking issues is possibly NoScript. But until recently I have had no problems with uploading attachments in Gmail through Firefox.

The issue: I start Gmail. Logging in is fine. When I compose a new message (still no problem) I can't upload any attachment via the attachment link. I click the attach link and it is unresponsive. I use internet explorer and I get no issues. I've noticed this issue only since yesterday. Please help.

Thanks R/S Kenneth

When I forward an email with embedded pictures the recipients only get boxes with the picture file name in it. How can I include the pictures with the forwarded text and boxes?

This is why I hate even free software updates. The Walgreens web site includes a page for uploading prints. They have a zillion stores around the country, and surely thousands of .online users. It's always worked for me in the past, but when I went to a new version of Firefox (short of v. 4) it stopped working. Downloading v. 4 now to see if you fixed the problem. If not, and if I can't get my old version of Firefox back, you've ruined my computer.

In Firefox 3.6.16 (and presumably other earlier versions) one could force FF to offer to remember user ids and passwords for many sites by editing the file ...\Mozilla Firefox\components \nsLoginManager.js to ignore site- requested autocomplete disabling (_isAutocompleteDisabled returns false).

FireFox 4 does not use that file or any similar that I was able to find.

Can the result (FF ignores site attemps to turn off autocomplete) be achieved in some other way or by editing some other file?

I've been using Firefox for years now and always loved it because of the simplicity of use and the add-ons that made my life easier. Now the major add-on that I use is no longer compatible, the new setup is visually disorienting, and apparently users have to make all kinds of adjustments to be even decently happy with their browser. Why on earth would you ever consider releasing an update that requires the users to do half the work to be satisfied with the program, or to update their OS to a system with which they're not comfortable? I switched back to 3.6 immediately, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

no sound online...sound fine off of internet but will not play on...updated Java & Flash & Quicktime are up-to-date, but still no sound. Upgraded to Firefox 5...still nothing.

I am using 3.6.16 on my pc laptop running win 7 and my Mac desktop...on both I am having frequent crashes and "not responding" when on multiple sites. What in the world is happening with firefox? I have used it for years without problems but past several months have been extreme disappointment. I cannot decipher the problem and it is happening on both pc and Mac. Your help page with "crashes' is not helpful and I am about ready to make Safari my default browser as firefox has become dysfunctional. The complaints about 4.0 discourages me from changing to the upgrade..Where do we go from here????

When I try send gifts in Playdoms, Gardens of Time on facebook, I get the following security msg ' Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party. Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?'

If I say continue I get sent to a new tab and I have to reboot the game because the page just keeps creating new tabs even if I try to close the gift window. The new tab windows URL is: http://hog-web-active-vip.playdom.com/gift/send_gift?ref_id=100000105665122&send_timestamp=1327303986&track=newsfeed-bonus_tcRequest_lowOnCrystal_en_US-0&bapiTicketId=078ebfc1-a5ad-4499-89ce-a93f40ca462f&ref=nf&signed_request=MMTKUwzqCOSpvwsrXUuG6XyKigyA3Y7IAcK5XoKdWsQ.eyJhbGdvcml0aG0iOiJITUFDLVNIQTI1NiIsImV4cGlyZXMiOjEzMjczMTI4MDAsImlzc3VlZF9hdCI6MTMyNzMwNzE4MCwib2F1dGhfdG9rZW4iOiJBQUFDZlpBQUkwTUU4QkFQamhiWkJBNlhCdG15QzZqSGVObkNuVXJ0YzBveFI1NUJ3VEdORlBzRFRnQXJZRE1aQ3hXV2RldEdURXVpNFpDaXFuYkZKTkZaQUFERW1BMENBNkw4S3NkTkFjV0JpNUY4UjViU1pBSCIsInVzZXIiOnsiY291bnRyeSI6InphIiwibG9jYWxlIjoiZW5fVVMiLCJhZ2UiOnsibWluIjoyMX19LCJ1c2VyX2lkIjoiMTAwMDAwMDI2MzYxMDQ4In0&is_bi_logged=1&askey=11688823|100000026361048|1|0|484fb6c1ca05235bd9f81000596ce5620e042d7b&_=1327307306469
