Firefox supportforum

I have a laptop that I upgraded: ubuntu8.10 -> ubuntu9.0.4 java stopped working in yahoo bridge. (firefox = 3.0.19) I followed Sun's instructions putting the link to the correct .so file to java6u20 plugin but that did not help. I tried clearing cache. still nothing. I have another PC with firefox3.0.19 and there is no java plugin but there are two flash plugins (1 free, the other non-free) it is at ubuntu8.10 and java is working just fine in that firefox. I have followed all of firefox's steps for enabling java in the preferences dropdown. I can provide more details if you need them.

I have a friend with an old computer on dial up. He only has Win 98, first edition, but wants firefox. I'd like to burn it on a CD for him, along with some extensions, but first I have to find the download. Would somebody please give me a pointer?

I need to get and put files from Firefox in an external program, so I need to be able to export/import JSON files programmatically (probably the command line). Is there a switch I can use, or some other way to do this?

Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 and I have installed F/f 3.5, 3.6, 3.65pre only 3.6.5pre does not appear in the synaptic list. I would like to revert to the recognised/updated version of 3.6 and completely remove all redundant packages. Mozilla only suggests removing the profile but I need that when the recognised version is allowed to run. Suggestions would be welcome.

I used GNU/Linux, and when I look the properties of desktop and panel shortcut to firefox the command are /usr/bin/firefox %U. What does %U means? When I typed it manually on my terminal it the firefox start and goes to http://www.%u.com/. But that not occured when I click on the shortcut. What is the reason for this different behaviour? Thanks in advance.

Why firefox abort all AJAX request when you press the ESC button?

I don't see any value in a feature like this. As a matter of facts no other browser do this.

I have Firefox 3.6.3 on my Macbook, but is only detected as 3.0.1on this form. When I link to the Google font website, it says, "We're sorry, but your browser is not supported by the Google Font API. To browse the fonts in the Google font directory please switch to a more modern browser." So I have to use Safari to get to the page.

I'm running Debian GNU/Linux, where Firefox is called Iceweasel due to licensing restrictions regarding redistribution. How do I ID as "Firefox/Windows XP service pack 2" instead?

I contribute to the wiki today by translating this page (http://support.mozilla.com/fr/kb/What+is+Firefox+Sync) to french. I see it's not translated and need translation when I'm not connected, but as soon as I'm connected, I can see the page in french

When I click in uninstall button, in add-on manager, Firefox does nothing: any message, pop-up,... nothing, the click in that button is totally ignored.

At first Firefox wouldn't work with flash videos. Now whenever I try to go to YouTube, it crashes. Whenever I try to view a video on break.com, it crashes. I have no idea how to get flash working in FF. It works in Opera, but not Firefox.

I am currently running the latest version of Ubuntu.

I discovered that http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ still reports Adobe flash 9 instead of the installed Debian package of flash 10 (from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ - Linux) "succesfully"

I accidentally clicked on a "this solved my problem" in this forum, and now I can't re-open it. I don't want to simply post a duplicate thread because:-

A) That would be annoying B) It would give the impression that the problem was solved.
