I am a hold-out still running 3.6.26 Firefox is the only browser I use. I'll be here forever. You know I get messages about 10.0.1 and that I'm using an old version. I would like to be convinced through opinion that I should upgrade. I am totally happy with the way things are now with 3.6.26. I don't want Google Chrome or a browser that looks like it. I'm willing, but like opinions.

On the Yahoo Homepage the day, date, and time are in another time zone as to the time zone that I an in PST. It changes to the next day at 9 pm and it is not even midnight yet.

Example: Thursday, February 16, 2012, then at 9 pm it will change to Friday, February 17, 2012, before it hits midnight on Friday, February 16, 2012. Please fix, and hopefully it is not affecting my e-mail....Please fix this issue

My Ubuntu automatically updated Firefox to 10.1 just yesterday. After a few hours, I dropped the Ubuntu version and moved back to 3.6. I've tried to post this to 'Feedback' but the page just keeps telling me to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox..(..) So this isn't really a community 'question' so much as it is feedback to the design / development team.

The black tab bar is a bad design choice. It works insomuch as it makes the tab area insignificant to the eye, which is a good thing to highlight the page. It fails because perusing the tabs for icons has become much more difficult. Many of the pages I use have black shadowed backgrounds or the page icons have black components. The icons therefore become indistinct from the background when trying to locate a specific page. Secondarily, the tab and address bar have become indistinct from the menu bar, which is definitely a bad thing. The menu bar is something used rarely, however the tab bar is something used frequently. There should definitely be a clear visual distinction between these two on-screen elements. This allows the user to easily and quickly distinguish the tab bar from the menu bar (without pause for thought or distraction). Thirdly, the page font I most commonly see somehow got changed significantly to something moderately more difficult to read, and uncommon to my other applications. Perhaps this is just alterable in some fashion, but I didn't bother due to the tab issue.

Before anyone suggests it, I spent half an hour trolling through and testing the various themes, none of which reflected the (imo v.good) visual layout prior to the update (including the Firefox 3 theme), nor provided an improved experience. And no, I'm not going to waste time building my own 'theme' in order to use a piece of software.

I use Firefox all-day everyday for work, and the added difficulty of regularly & frequently navigating between my absolute minimum of four open tabs is an unnecessary burden which I'm not going to bother dealing with. I'll be sticking with Firefox 3.6 until it's no longer usable, at which point if the tab bar has changed to a more usable colour, I'll upgrade once again. If not, then I'll be migrating permanently to Chrome .. which would be an annoying necessity.

I've been using Firefox since 0.8 and this is the first time I've seriously considered having to switch to a different core browser. I don't want to use Google's browser, but the best browser to use is the browser that is most usable.

I am very nervous about upgrading because my URL history and tabs are very important to me. Anyone with experience with successful upgrade--or problems involved--would be helpful. Thank you.

The notifcation 'do you want Firefox to remember the password for ... on ... used to appear as a horizontal bar at the top of the page, below the tabs. It now covers part of the top left of the page as a type of 'call-out'. I want to remember passwords for certain sites and continue to see the reminder but I don't want it to hide part of the page. This is worse in my netbook as the screen is relatively small so the proportion of the page obscured is relatively high. In which version did it change? How can I get the password reminder to revert to a horizontal bar in Firefox v9?

My firefox page is now divided in 2 parts: on the top the standard page, on the bottom some (10-15) lines of text that begins: " the Custom SearchMenu Wizard make it easy...". That is to say that my page is always too little to contain all. The problem was born after last update. But I cannot eliminate it in any way. (I can submit an image - how?, were? to explain problem. Using Mac OS 10.5.8 on power mac and Firefox 3.6.26. Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot. pmaccarrone@gmail.com

When I open FF, the first page (my home page) opens.

However, the "+" prompt for a new tab no longer responds.

When I click an URL in an email, the new tab opens automatically, but the new (second) tab will not open manually.

How can I repair the above please?

I do not favor toolbars and try to eliminate them as much as possible. I got rid of one recently and the toolbar disappeared but the space where the toolbar was remains. It is a wasted space and I would like to get rid of the space. Any suggestions?

Thanks. Sincerely, Delora

I Have been using Digital Persona Personal Suite >Finger print verification logins uptil firefox 3.6(Firefox was permiting the addon Digital PersonaExtension)But after that version firefox is not supporting this application and So I am still using the old Firefox without an Update .Pls tell whether the latest Firefox permits Digital Persona Addon

I recently starting experiencing problems with sites not loading in Firefox with the error "Connection was interrupted". I've consistently seen this problem trying to load accounts.google.com. The problem exists in both versions 3.6.26 (OS X 10.4 latest available) and 10.0.1 (Windows XP/7/server2k3). In every single case, other browsers on the same system (Safari, various IE versions) can load the same URLs just fine.

I've already verified no proxy (FF and working browsers, all OSes), disabled ipv6 and preteching in network.dns, disabled all add-ons, deleted existing profiles, cleared cache, and cleared recent history. Existing articles suggest disabling DNS prefetch,

I am using Firefox 3.6.26>OS 10.4.11>G5 Mac I use to be able to watch as a website was loading along the bottom of the web page, ie transfering data:I miss this feature. Please tell me how to get it back.

I'm using firefox 3.6 for x86_64 -- the file it actually runs is /usr/lib64/firefox-3.6/firefox. I tried the upgrade, but the default load page only has the 32-bit version.

The trouble is, it does not run movies, claiming I have the wrong flash plugin; but the one it suggests is the older 32-bit version. So the bottom line is, where can I get a native 64-bit version of firefox-10, so I can keep using the existing plugins?

I use a web based curriculum to home school. The site only supports firefox 3.6.26 and Internet Explorer 7.0 and 8.0. All other versions do not allow the curriculum to work properly. Having trouble even trying to find where I can download firefox 3.6.36. Help?

After customizing the main toolbar (ie, adding/removing icons like New Tab, Print, Separator, etc.) it's only good until I close Firefox. Upon reopening all my customizations are gone and the toolbar is back to its default.
