Hi Robby,

On Mac it is : 'Firefox => Preferences' to access the 'Options/Preferences'

Does that help  ?

Mate, I've tried that fix, but still don't have options > advanced settings??

The about:config fix when tried didn't list the "browser" option to change from false to true.

After 3 hours scouring Google - i'm lost on this....

See : http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac

The 'Advanced' panel is no longer in Firefox Options ....

in that case I think I need some screen shots as I am just seeing "options" or ability to get to advanced settings going through Preferences.....?

I don't have a Mac (am a 'Windows person') - I'll take a screenshot after I've clicked on 'Options' in Firefox's menu.

May I ask : where do you see this 'ability to get to advanced settings going through Preferences'  ?

And what exactly are you looking for  ?

I appreciate the help.

I don't see any ability to get to advanced settings or options going through preferences.

I need to obtain a digital certificate from WIPO for an invention being worked upon, and I was going through their video on how to get the cert was downloaded and it involved using the Tools tab > options > advanced settings....


thanks Robby

Like I said earlier : the 'Advanced' tab is no longer in Firefox's Options/Preferences.

When you take a look at my screenshot :

Click on 'Privacy & Security' and scroll down to 'Certificates'.

'Sure hope this helps, otherwise you'll need to wait till somebody else will come to your rescue .....
