Firefox says click here to update Shockwave, but that says Shockwave is disabled so you can't click that link. Please provide fix.

On the Add-ons Manager page/Plugins entry for Shockwave Flash appears the line "Shockwave Flash is known to be vulnerable and should be updated." This is followed by a link reading "Update Now". When I click this link, Firefox thinks for a while and then brings up a page that says (it's quite long, so this is a summary) Shockwave Flash versions have been disabled, so this page appears when you click on any of its links.
Since "Update Now" doesn't work, please send me an executable file that will fix this. Firefox says it is version 30.0.

I too have been having persistent, on going, problems with FP crashing or just stop working. I've done everything everybody has suggested with the exception of disabling the protected mode. What is strange, perhaps not strange, is that when FP crashes if I reinstall FP everything works until I shut down the computer and restart and then it crashes again. Also, in YouTube, if FP is working all the videos will default to FP and not HTML, even though, HTML is enabled and working. If I disable FP, then all the videos play in HTML. As of right now I've disabled FP and use Chrome to view FP required displays. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks

When finished writing an email and sending it to the addressee the file normally loads into the sent folder of the email folder. It does not load in and the folder remains blank.

Had some issues with Firefox 35.0.1 trying to post on this forum. Fox would not accept my login, so I requested to reset my password. Password reset O.K. still a no go, thought my login was bad and requested them send my "User name" (same email) User name never arrives. I had to create a new account on the forum to post this question as I can't get my old login to work.
Anyone else having this problem or has Firefox been hacked and my "User Name" sent to someone else?
Firefox version 33.0.0.5397 appears in windows/erdnt/cache how do I remove it

The first scan I ran with Secunia PSI 2 flagged up an old version of Firefox 33.0.0.5397 as out of date and no longer supported and recommended updating or uninstalling. I was unaware I had any old versions of Firefox installed as I am using the latest version 36.0.4 which actually appears further down the list of programmes on the PSI scan. This old version's location is also a bit strange, it appears in a cache within a folder called erdnt in windows. The file path is .... windows\erdnt\cache\firefox.exe. I have looked online for info about this erdnt folder and it seems to be part of a backup programme called ERUNT which I do not seem to have. Very strange. The current version of Firefox 36.0.4 is located in the program files where I would expect to find it.
Can anyone shed some light on this and explain why there appears to be an old version of Firefox in this odd location and if it is OK to remove it and how I go about doing so. Do I just delete or do I need to uninstall it ? What affect any action might have on the current version of Firefox that I am using ?

I had one our websites showing the javascript on the page. After some searching I found out that the script tag inherits "display:block" and shows it's content. IMO that's a bit weird, but other Browser show the same behavior. My question is not to avoid this as I can easily avoid it but if this should be considered a bug in Firefox?

I am a medical insurance biller. I downloaded Windows 8, and Mozilla Firefox so that I could use United Healthcare Authorizations because they stopped allowing use on Google Chrome. I tried to get on the site, and the message I received was:
"An error occurred during a connection to saml2.radiologynotifications.com. SSL received a weak ephemeral Diffie-Hellman key in Server Key Exchange handshake message. (Error code: ssl_error_weak_server_ephemeral_dh_key)
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem."
When I looked this up, it said that your site said this was a malicious site and blocked it. This is a secure site. And I need this site for my work. I have been doing this for 15 years, and If I cannot use this I will be forced to use another browser.
Can you please help me?

Hello, I cam home from work, the computer was logged off from prior evening, however, it was up and running with a PC Cleanup type site I had never seen before running scans! I always default to Mozilla Firefox, but now it defaults to Palikan.com for a search engine and not firefox. What happened? and how can I remove Palikan.com? I went to the Control Panel to see about removing the new program and it is not listed in programs. They say virus sites dont detect because it attaches to a already trusted program...but it knocked Firefox out. Your Logo is still avail to click on, but Palikan starts up. I pasted the link below. Please advise and assist. Thank you in advance. Lillie G. C.

In Firefox i set an SOCKS5 proxy. But for the past months it is numerous case that i accidentally accessed webpages being not proxiffied / not using proxy and i was unaware about this and realised the fact too late..
For example after proxy managing plugin installation or i temporarilly disabled proxy.
My aim is to prevent me accessing webpages without proxy. I mean somehow locking the firefox proxy configuration so even plugins cant modiffy my firefox proxy setting.
Just want to be sure i will never access internet without proxy.
Having latest Firefox and WIndows Vista.
PS: i sitll need unproxiffied access to certain websites. I have the whitelist in my Firefox proxy configuration now.

Every day around 9:30 PM, browsing the web becomes impossible. nearly every site I visit brings up a This Connection Is Untrusted page. I have tried using different browsers and Different Devices. Even my 3DS doesn't work. This has lead me to believe that the problem is either with the modem or my service provider. I checked the certificate of Google via chrome://pippki/content/exceptionDialog.xul, and it read ISSUED TO Common Name (CN) security.frontier.com Organization (O) security.frontier.com and when I checked it now, it reads ISSUED TO Common Name (CN) www.google.com Organization (O) Google Inc I don't know what fixes this problem since the problem stops at different times. It started around when I installed AVG, so I tried uninstalling it, but the problem didn't stop. While I'm fairly certain the problem isn't related to Firefox, this is one of the sites that I am able to visit when this problem occurs. I have tried manually adding the exception so I could bypass the Untrusted Connection page, but the page never loads and the next time it happens, the page is there again anyway.

This is a fresh install (I uninstalled and removed all folders and registry entries before reinstalling). Ive run scans for infections.
Firefox is very slow to bring up pages (30 seconds minimum) while IE and Chrome are normal.
When I close FF, the firefox.exe process doesnt' close for 3 to 5 minutes ad then I get a "Firefox crashed" message.
I'm seeing this on a ton of machines (7 and Vista).
Please help!

Mozilla support does not receive these questions and calls for help?...this goes to community? How customer facing is this? Not very.
I just set up Firefox this morning. I used it years ago but became disenchanted with it dropping my sessions and telling me that Firefox cannot find this site.
Today, in the short time I have been using Firefox again I am repeatedly asked to log in on Facebook & Yahoo mail. Those are the only two sites I have been on today. I could not sign in fast enough on Yahoo Mail to keep up with the sign in messages so I got out of it.
I just set up Firefox this morning and Just being on Firefox such a short time it has so annoyed me by asking me to log in again, again and again. 20-30x and I have not been online much today. This is absolutely ridiculous.
Having people choose to be kept logged in and to save their passwords to try to get around this failure of Firefox is incredible. It is unsafe to their sessions on those sites and it also makes them more exposed to break ins by crooks.
I am not sure what to do to avoid this short of not using Firefox. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks, jaaess

I received a message stating that " Total Browser Security could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled." Total Browser Security is made by Mozilla which makes Firefox!!! So Why in the heck could it NOT BE VERIFIED for use in FIREFOX?
So I would like to Delete it/Remove it from my list of "Extensions". however I have tried to remove it following all of the suggested methods, but have been unsuccessful. Is there a way to actually remove it?
Also, would the Total Browser Security disabled keep causing the Adobe Flash Plug-in to crash, and cause all of my web browsers to freeze and crash and then cause my computer to freeze? Or could that just be due to my computer being 9 years old?
I plan on building a new computer either later this year or early next year, whenever I get the money. I am trying to make this computer last.
