Hello,
Updated to firefox 36.0 on 2-24-15 Now getting a Windows Security Alert Windows firewall has blocked some features of this program. Name: Firefox Publisher: Mozilla Corporation Path: C:\program files (x86)\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe Private networks box is checked and grayed out. Public networks box is unchecked and is asking to allow access.
When I look at allowed programs through firewall it shows 2 Firefox programs. Firefox --------(box is unchecked ) Firefox C:\program files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox) ----------(box checked off)
Also on 2-24-15 There were Windows 7 updates and a MSE Definition update.
When I booted up computer 2-25-15 the Windows Security Alert appeared.
I have not allowed access from Windows Security Alert window.
Why did this Windows Security Alert appear?

I have found a work around for all the people having server not found problems with FF36.
If you manually set your network adapter DNS to an external DNS server (as opposed to your local ISP) then the problem goes away. I set mine to use the two google DNS servers:
Preferred: 8.8.8.8 Alternate: 8.8.4.4
Not a clue why this works but it is 100% successful on my desktop PC, whereas before I could hardly connect to a webpage with FF36 without multiple page refreshes and much frustration, even though FF35 was fine and rolling back to FF35 was also fine.
Something has changed in FF36 and either the way it handles DNS or the way it works with some network adapters.
It is nothing to do with add-ons, profiles or firewall software as I have tried all of these things and only the DNS change made a difference. I even copied over a full working profile and the program files directory for Mozilla from my portable which was having no problems and the problem still existed on the desktop, which is why I started looking at the network adapater since everything else between the working PC and the non working one was identical.
Hopefully this will help the developers to pin down the real cause of the problem and fix it in the next release.

Hello
I have spent 3 days trouble shooting this and can't resolve it. Firefox won't load pages, just get a grey spinning circle forever. No other message. I close firefox and restart, it won't start as it is still running in background. Task manager will not close it. I have to reboot the PC. I have tried deleting profiles, which helps for a few minutes then it locks again. I tried re-installing firefox and again it works for a few minutes then nothing. I have completely deleted all 'appdata' and still no luck. New profile doesn't help. I checked all security settings, firewall, etc. and nothing helped. I tried safe mode and the problem still exists. I have used firefox for years and now may have to walk away. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

When I click a link on a site to send an email it diverts me to another page that says: "The website from which you got to this page is protected by CloudFlare. Email addresses on that page have been hidden in order to keep them from being accessed by malicious bots. You must enable Javascript in your browser in order to decode the e-mail address." I restarted with add-ons disabled to make sure they were not interfering. I followed this link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-allow-java-trusted-sites to see if I could enable Javascript but there is no "plugin icon in the address bar". Do anyone know what the problem is? Thank you!

I recently started seeing a lower quality font display in my web based email program and can't pinpoint it to anything that changed on my pc, unless it was an update to Firefox. Also noticed that the headers of Google search results have tiny dots on top of all the letters.
The two images show my web mail in Firefox and also in IE which is how the fonts used to display in Firefox. I also noticed that this is happening on seemingly random emails as some actually display the font correctly. I am running ver. 36.0 and it is up to date.
Well, I've been trying to upload the images for a while now, but I can't see if there is any progress being made. I can email the .png files if anyone is interested. Thanks.

I have recently set up TB on a new laptop and every time I open the machine and go to get my emails it's sooooo sloooow and seems to be always downloading 12 out of 18 emails to inbox or 21 out of 28 into inbox or something like that, and won't let me do much until it's finished - which can take ages. I can't make out (a) what these emails are and (b) why hasn't it downloaded them already. I uninstalled and reinstalled TB in case there was some glitch but the problem's still there. So frustrating. The setup on my other computer is fine.

Tired to re-download many times but it pops with same message. Is this a bug on Firefox side or is there any other solution to make it work?
Thanks

its old waterfox picture, i use it cause same thing is with firefox http://i.stack.imgur.com/7UV6C.jpg does it mean i half to mark it default 8 times before it becomes default? if so did waterfox mess up firefox for good, untill windows is reinstalled, that some stuff from watrfox remained in PC somewhere & make PC partly take firefox as waterfox, & i mean partly, some parts of firefox are identified as waterfox? its just in past there weren't stuff like in this picture, also despite that it behaves like default browser cause it does not ask set to default awry time i open fox, so it seems to be default

I find the Address bar too narrow. If it's adjustable, I hope someone can tell me how. Same for the Search bar.
Sync is working between desktop browsers (bookmarks+history) but only syncing history to android. Need bookmarks!!!

Sync is working perfectly between FF 36.0 and Dev Ed 37.0a2 on Windows 7 and 36.0 on Windows 8.1 for Bookmarks + History It's refusing to sync anything except History to FF 36.0 on Android 5.0.2 (Nexus7) and FF 36.0 on Android 4.4.4 (Moto G)
It's probably been quite a few weeks since it was successful with the bookmarks too. I've purged lots of bookmarks to reduce numbers (currently @ 4918 ish) and removed ALL bookmarks from both android browsers. Previously, I've disconnected the devices from Sync - even reinstalled FF on them but the problem persists. Since that's no longer making a difference, I'd like to find an *actual* solution :)
Previously, it worked without issue (mostly) but now does nothing - no stall, hang or delays when syncing - it would seem (judging by the speed of the UI when syncing) that the data simply isn't being sent (or requested) from the server.
The synced bookmarks (desktop) still show *old* data in the Mobile Bookmarks folder from when they used to sync. This isn't updated when anything is added on either Android device (one bookmark on each as a test).
I've enabled desktop sync logs as suggested in other similar posts, and managed to get remote debugging of the Moto G up and running, and managed to get it logging (adb logcat) to the console. Tapped for Sync and it looks like I've got something of use.
Is it possible to provide the logs via PM or e-mail?
Would "reading list" items be tipping the bookmarks over the 5000 limit? (They're also not syncing, but I assume they're a BM "category".) Or a combination of pending unsynced items (from the other device) added to existing items hit the same limit? When the limit is hit, is *all* bookmark syncing simply aborted? (Seems to be a current symptom... i.e. no attempt made - see below)
"Interesting" looking bits logcat: I/FxAccounts( XXXX ) : firefox :: BrowserRepoSession :: Unable to extract bookmark from cursor. Record GUID MVNVrWILD_-T, parent null/-3 I/FxAccounts( XXXX ) : firefox :: ServerSyncStage :: Stage bookmarks received 0 and sent 9 records in 1.72 seconds.
Thanks for your time - keep up the good work!
Cheers, Paul

I'm building an online language learning platform. Part of our functionality will be to have direct communication between teachers and students with the least amount of trouble. This Firefox video is awesome, because teachers and students can share a link within our chat system and start thier lessons right away, and it will take away an amazing amount of coding hours to have something similar.
Can we kind of customize this service? Maybe we can work together somehow and support each other? Oh, I didn't see a chat functionality in the video system, I think it will be a great addition if you can have it in place.
Thanks.
