I can't access my hotmail account among some other websites since upgrading to 3.6.8 on my macbook. I get the following message: "The proxy server is refusing connections. Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections. Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct. Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working." I can't even find the proxy settings anymore.

When I download Firefox using the 3 step guide for my Mac, the icon is shown as an external drive and not the usual Firefox icon. I drag it into the Apps folder as suggested, but when I try to follow the next steps to place in the dock it will not do it. I try clicking on the icon to open firefox but nothing works. Can you help? Operating system Mac 0S10 .4

I tried to download Firefox for the first time

User Agent

I'm using a MiniMac with O.S. 10.4.11. It's an old 1.42 Ghz. pre-Intel chip. I'm using Firefox 3.6.6, and when I attempt to go to Kijiji, for no reason whatsoever, Google analytics shows up at the bottom left of my screen, and the load bar shows about 3/4's of being done. And that's where it freezes COMPLETELY. The existing blue line on the load bar doesn't even have the auger turning, indicating that it's working. Please fix, but whatever you do, don't tell me I've got a worm, or something. I'm sure it's just Google's spyware screwing up.

Upgrading Firefox, i mistakenly moved my old profile to my desktop to save it in case something went wrong. When trying to put it back where i stole it from, i forgot which file it came from and went to where i thought it came from and found a new profile existed there. Error message says two browsers can not be open at the same time. Can't turn off the FFX browser because it won't display as open. i have trashed everything labled Firefox using apple command find and then attempted to install a new downloaded copy. Still gets same message as if the newly downloaded copy is already running.

upgraded to 3.6, lost bookmarks, lost bookmarks toolbar, lost bookmarks library, can't go to previous backup, get error message. Don't have Torbutton. Can't save new bookmarks. Autofill remembers. Remember history is on.

I have a Mac and I would like to remove the "Firefox prevented this site from automatically redirecting to another page" feature. You show how for Windows, but I have not found how for Mac

When I sort bookmarks in "Organize Bookmarks" they are not sorted under the pulldown menu on a regular page. Recently added bookmarks are not inegrated into to sorting.

Firefox (& Safari) redirect both Google searches and web addresses to an undesirable Chinese website (www.5542.com). They have both become very slow and often give a 'Server not found' message when accessing various sites. I believe it could be malware(?) or similar. I've tried to block the unwanted site but it keeps on appearing. I'm running two macs and it's happening on both of them. I'm not especially experienced with web jargon etc. so please speak slowly with any instructions! Thanks for your help. Andy

Using Firefox 3.6.3 for OS X, I have recently become unable to view streaming media at the website www.memritv.org. I receive an error message that says "TypeError: _cuPlayer is null." How can I circumvent this problem?

I had no Bookmarks or History system when I logged in this morning. I re-booted and tried the suggestion from the support page, nothing. There is a banner heading stating "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem."...What do I do?

My 12 year old daughter would like to remove a few websites from our navigation tool bar and we can't figure out how to delete. All the questions answered on this site so far require a PHD in IT. Can someone please provide us a step by step version on how to remove a few simple sites? Thanks!
