Firefox supportforum

Firefox notifies me that I'm not running the latest version (I have 3.6.24 GTB7.1) and to download the version compatible with my older system (Mac Tiger 10.4.11). I click on that link and can find nothing that states what systems the version(s) there are compatible with. I have in the past downloaded and installed an incompatible version, a situation to avoid for obvious reasons.

I was looking at the new version of Firefox and really don't like how it looks. If I update to it is there a way to make Firefox look like the old one? 3.6.24 is the version I'm using now, and I really like how it looks.

I have been a happy Firefox user for years and have regularly installed the recommended upgrades on all 3 computers I use daily. My home desktop is a Power Mac G5, model 11,2, with a PowerPC G5 (1.1) processor with 2.3GHz speed. While this computer is old, gosh the screen is beautiful and there are no issues with the tasks I use it for. I'd like to continue using Firefox as my default browser. Is there an updated version I can use?

The website is for an art supply store. I'm trying to access the site via messages sent to my gmail account. The whole message reads: Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.jerrysartarama.com/?" on this server.

My HP Pavilion DV7 notebook has Simplepass Identity Protection software that runs the fingerprint scanner. This worked with Firefox 3.6.x, but will not work with Firefox 8.x. Help!

Since two or three days I am getting an annoying blue bar across the top of the screen ( toolbar ) that says " click here to share " on it. I never asked for this toolbar to be included on my screen. What have I got to do to get rid of it ? Also, there is an annoying BLACK bar with some headings in it as well. I don't mind this so much. I just wish it was not BLACK !! Can I change the colour ? Thanks for all help received.

So basically the up and down key are acting as "home" and "end".

If I click on the page I can get them to work somewhat normally, although there is a cursor (like for imputing text) and it goes line by line when I press up and down (instead of scrolling) very annoying and I'll be switching to Chrome for good unless this is resolved for me.

Running firefox 3.6.24 under Fedora core 14 64 bit. Cannot load certain pages from schoolfusion website with firefox or google chrome. I get server not found error. On the same machine a XP virtual with IE or chrome can access the website.I've checked wireshark output and the DNS query is there along with a good response to the query i.e. the dns returns the correct ip address. So I don't understand why the server error. On the same web site a link that does work starts with 2 identical DNS queries both get identical responses. It must be some network setting under linux only? I have a direct internet connect no proxy. I've tried all of the suggestions under server error already.

Thanks

I have been using Firefox for several years with no problems. I have had my current laptop for 1 and a half years and have had no problems until about 2 months ago. Now Firefox crashes after only a few seconds several times (maybe 15-20 times) and then the interval between crashes tends to increase. I googled for help, and nothing has worked. I am still using Firefox 3.6.24 because when I upgrade to the latest version Firefox freezes while it is loading and it locks up my PC. At least with Firefox 3.6.24, I can get around to using it, although it is very frustrating wiwth all the crashes.

This is the link to the latest crash report submitted:

While I have your attention, is there any way I can get Firefox to stop asking me if I want to update my version. I am getting sick and tired of having to say 'NO' (for the reasons above).

The pictures on websites I visit (facebook,twitter,blog etc) just doesn't load! I tried the suggestions given by others in similar threads but it didn't work. Example: http://twitpic.com/7po96j/full

                http://twitpic.com/7po95c/full

Somehow,the links under 'Tools > Page Info > Media" is grayed but the box "Block images from...." isn't marked. ---> http://twitpic.com/7poai0/full

Help?

I avoided upgrading as long as possibly in anticipation of problems, but I use you tube and it's threatening me now. Sure enough your upgrade was so bad it almost disabled my entire computer. Slowed to 'glacier' pace in speed and was impossible to use my Word office program, even with Firefox closed, and after restarts. I had to go back 24 hours and reset so I could continue my work. I'm using Windows 7. I liked Firefox just the way it was. This is as bad as the new health care law... no options but to upgrade, lose out and suffer. I guess I will have to give your program up.

I have a Mac Power PC G5 (i.e. pre Intel) and I am using OSX 10.5.8. My current Firefox is 3.6.24 and they tell I should upgrade, I guess to FF 4, but tech. spec. recommends Mac Intel. Is a Power PC compatible with FF4? Thanks

Since my computer is a 64-bit system, I want to replace as much 32-bit software with 64-bit compilations and, as much as I can, abandon executables that can't be replaced.

Assuming that Mozilla has released a 64-bit compilation of Firefox, how do I identify it and obtain it?

"Firefox Setup 8.0.1.exe" doesn't tell me whether it installs 32-bit or 64-bit instead. The automagic Firefox Update sometimes wants to replace the 32-bit version 3.6 with a 32-bit "current version" that is not an actual update to 3.6.

One reason that I have continued running version 3.6 is that there is no compelling reason to replace an installed 32-bit application with some "upgrade" of the same 32-bit application on this computer. In fact, if Mozilla doesn't get off the dime and release a 64-bit compilation which it is willing to maintain, I will make the move the Chrome.
