Firefox Support Forum

When I use Internet Explorer and I right click when I am on any website, there is a Create Shortcut option for putting that website onto my desktop.

When I use Firefox and I right click when I am on any website, there is no such option.

I want to know how to insert that option into Firefox for right clicking for myself.

I click on a file within a website to open it, but the pop up box does not have the "open with.." option, only the save option. The file type is a text document with the extension ".prg" which is associated in my Windows Folder Options to open with Wordpad. Within Firefox Tools/Options/Applications, this file type does not show up, so I cannot change it. I read elsewhere where this is blamed on MIME type in the HTML header, but Microsoft Internet Explorer gets it right every time, only Firefox does not recognize the file type.

As an aside, the same site has files with the extension".chg" that I open with Notepad. Firefox gives the "open with" option for these files, with Notepad as the defauld, but the "Always open with" is greyed out. Not that I care, as the default is what I want, but....

On particular websites, such as 'Words with Friends' on Facebook and Pandora, I get an error saying that my browser is not supported and I need to upgrade. However, I am running the latest version (3.6.22) that can be run on my machine--I have OS X 10.4.11. In 'Words with Friends' I just click 'ok' and it loads, but I can't get Pandora to override the error. I've had this problem for quite awhile now, and I am pretty certain it is some setting on this machine, because the machine I use at work has the same version of OS X and Firefox and does not have the same problem. I have tried reinstalling Firefox to no avail.

When I open the browser window (with Google as the homepage) this message is there..."URGENT! Your version of Firefox is no longer protected against online attacks. Get the upgrade - it’s fast and free! "...I have upgraded several times using the link but the warning continues. When I am in sites like Paypal this warning is stated "Update your browser: It looks like you're using an older browser that may have security issues. Help protect your account. " When I follow the HELP prompts to assess my current version in 'About Firefox' in the help menu it states that Firefox is up to date and 8.

Said it all above. It tells me I have the latest version in the help tab under About Firefox. I have upgrade like 4 times now I even unistalled firefox and reinstaled the latest version But no change It still says i am out of date. like I said above on the addon pages I cant get what i want as it says I still have version 3.6 Help please I love firefox and hate IE but it works way better at the moment

Even in bookmarks it’s like this. This bug is after I installed firefox 4 I think. With 3 it was ok.

Installed Firefox 3.6.8, tried update first, then did complete uninstall and fresh install from scratch. Problems, problems...

Can not set Tools-Options, the page is blank with only CANCEL button active. Pages keep loading forever, tab page load indicator never stops. On first start, home is www.google.com, then it reverts to Firefox-Google home and search does not work at all. Will not let me connect to support.mozilla website either. Drives me crazy ! Thanks for help in advance.

WP 3.2 says Firefox is out of date, apps on facebook, I received an invite for Google + and it said my browser was not suppported, I had to go to safari to sign up. Yet When I click "About Firefox" it says I'm running 5.0 and it's up to date. What is wrong with this dang browser???

There are several websites and online services that are becoming an issue or are unusable for me because I don't have the most current version of Firefox. But I've tried to update it and cannot. I go to the "Help" pull-down menu, and the "Check For Updates" option is grayed out and un-selectable. Please help!
