Firefox Support Forum

Please can someone tell me why it's so hard to find an offline installer? I googled it and searched the forums and most of the links either don't work or send me to get online installers.

Also why don't they put 2 download links on the main page? 1 for download online installer and 1 for offline installer?

After about half an hour of searching i found a proper link to an offline installer that works. I wanted to thank brookspd who posted a question 2 years ago and one of the moderators responded. His hope was that his post would help and it helped immensly.

I understand that the forum is huge and there are many posts, is there any way of deleting all the posts of offline installers that don't actually help and put this one up? https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ , it's the only one that i've personally found that actually works. I'm sure i'm not the only fustrated one here.

I want to uninstall FF 64-bit and install FF 32-bit (because I want to use addons, like ADBlocker Plus, and they won't install - or worse install but not show up - in FF 64-bit).

1) I go to https://www.mozilla.org, which becomes https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/ . I click "Firefox" and I am at https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/new/ .

2) I click "Firefox for Other Platforms and Languages" and I get a dialog where I click "Windows 32-bit". I get "Firefox Installer.exe".

3) I close and uninstall FF 64-bit from Control Panel.

4) I run that exe and after the install process I do have FF again, but it's still the 64-bit version. It has even remembered my session and bookmarks and I am even still logged in to sites I was logged in to before uninstalling (those for which I had asked to be kept logged in of course).

I tried that same process many times, by downloading FF with FF itself and with other browsers. I have even unistalled a "Mozilla Maintenance Service" I found installed in Control Panel, in case it was it that was forcing the wrong version to be installed, but no.

I also tried to click "Available languages" in the dialog at point 2, clicked on "Download" at row "English (British)" and column "Windows" (NOT the "Windows 64-bit" at its right), that gave me "Firefox Setup 55.0.2.exe", but this installer too produces the same result (I end up with the 64-bit version again).

No error messages ever appear at any point.

I simply can't seem to be able to replace FF 64-bit with FF 32-bit. I really don't understand what I am doing wrong. Any ideas ?

I have Windows XP Professional English SP3 installed in an Oracle Virtual Machine. For some reason or another, Internet Explorer stopped browsing to pages having SSL (https). I went to several web pages on the internet. They said this and that, but I managed to narrow it down to the SSL part. I recently received an update to Oracle Virtual Box, so that can also be the culprit. I also have another XP Professional English SP3 virtual machine with no additional software installed besides antivirus software, and in that machine, I had installed a pretty fresh version of Mozilla Firefox, so I tested it, and there was no problem at all surfing, but Internet Explorer refused to display the web page. This is why I would like to have a link to the above mentioned version of Firefox, as you stated in another thread that that particular version was the last one to be supported by Windows XP.

Thanks in advance! Thomas J. Ekman SWEDEN

I need the install file for the developer edition, rather then an install stub. One of my developers would like to use this edition of firefox, but because of our download restrictions against users we are unable to install it through the stub, can you help?

Babylon search downloaded with Firefox Download. I have removed the toolbar and altered the search and set Google as my browser but Babylon search comes up first each time I open my browser. I have reset all defaults but Babylon still comes up. I have run Malware and Super anti-spyware programs. Nothing shows.

The Babylon "program" is hiding somewhere. I also get underlines in my browser and links that I do not want. Ideas please.

My home connection is dial-up and to download a 40MB "upgrade" solution would take about 2 hours. I use a public computer with a high-speed connection to download install packages of all the software I use. I can save these packages to a flash drive to bring home to run on my computer. The Mozilla "upgade" solution tries to upgrade the public computer. I do not get a transportable install package. Of course this does me no good.

Also, if I have a standalone installation package, I can keep it incase I need to re-install, or if I want to share Firefox with someone else.

Please send me a link to a standalone, transportable installation package that I can download.

Thank you in advance.

I have seen this question already posed in the forums about updating the latest version of Firefox, however I am not trying to update the version, I am trying to download the latest version of Firefox to Windows through Chrome. I click the download button on the Mozilla website and I extract the file. At this point the computer asks me if I want to save the file or run the file. I have tried to just run the file and the computer shoots out this message "You may not have the necessary permissions to use all the features of the program you are about to run. You may run this program as a different user or continue to run the program as the currant user". The window gives me two options, "Run as currant user" (which closes everything when I choose it), and "Run as administrator" (which leaves me with a user name and password which are always wrong). I can't download Firefox and have tried alot of stuff. I feel like it is a security setting in my computer that needs to be adjusted but I don't know enough to start randomly tinkering around.

As in all Forums... PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

Whenever I go to download a file, the 'do this automatically for files like this from now on' box is greyed out. I have scoured the internet looking for a solution and just about every one of them is either severely outdated or does not fix my problem. I have reset my Firefox more than I can count and yet it does not seem to fix my problem. It used to work just fine, but it no longer does and it is very annoying and frustrating. I have even tried to completely uninstall it and reinstall it to my computer and that doesn't fix anything.

Is there any sort of way to fix this problem? Firefox is my browser of choice and I'd prefer not to have to start using another one. I know it may seem trivial because it's just one extra step, but when you're doing it a bunch of times in a row like I do, it can get quite bothersome.

Thank you.

No, I'm not talking about having to first tediously click on every single tab, bookmarking them, following the instruction to transfer your bookmark file, and them clicking on every bookmark to open your tabs again. I'm asking about a one-click way to save all my tabs and them upload them on a different computer, just as Firefox does on closing/opening. Thank you

I keep getting a screen change popping up on my browser, asking me to install a very important update. I know the patch is a scam, as I've check the internet and see others have experienced the same problem. Is there any way I can stop receiving the firefox-patch.js patch request? It comes up very often when I open chicagotribune.com.

After updating to Firefox 46.0 in RHEL 6.6, when I launch I get the following error: XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/local/firefox/libmozgtk.so: libgtk-3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Couldn't load XPCOM. I tried to install any package gtk3 or similar, but only find gtk2 and gtk+ are available in Red Hat, and I have already installed. I downgraded to 45.0.2 that works fine. Thanks.

It does it everytime, I say yes. Then a window opens telling me to restart computer to update to lastest version. I am running ver 30 already, when I check this is says I'm up to date.

I got a new computer with Windows 10 and installed Firefox 40.0.2. Even with this fresh install, I've been experiencing a very frustrating number of crashes.

I can consistently trigger a crash by trying to inspect an element or by trying to install Firebug.

To resolve the issue I have tried:

- making sure that Adobe Flash/Shockwave is disabled - disabling the NoScript add-on - opening Firefox with a new, fresh profile (even though I did not import a profile from my old Windows 7 machine so the profile should have already been pretty "fresh")

Here are my crash reports for the last 1/2 hour: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-cc02b456-7a7a-4386-b30f-014422150823 https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-c25dbcb8-489a-4870-9a85-626c22150823 https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-ce261672-72f5-484b-a3e4-0380c2150823 https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-085e4118-2160-4f8e-9f2d-43e402150823 https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-8cbef911-fb77-4c4f-b3a8-316d92150823

Firefox has long been my default browser but I'm worried I'll need to abandon it! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I attempted to do a silent install of Firefox v22 (on a machine that doesn't have any other version installed) via the switch -ms but the wizard still appeared. The same thing happened when I tried to use a config.ini file via the /INI switch. How do I do a silent install now?

Suddenly I'm getting ConnectDLC toolbar as the default toolbar and can't get rid of it and also CONNECT is the the default web page and won't go away. How do I get rid of these?

When I download a file, I used to get an option to "save as", instead of just save. If I download a file I like to immediately download it into the appropriate folder on my desktop (not just one folder.) Instead I have to download it, go into the downloads folder and move it. I do a lot of downloading for work and this is just an extra step that I find so annoying. Is there a way to change this, or and "add on" feature to get "save as" as an option? I get this option on Internet Explorer, but I do not like using IE :(

Normally profiles and browsing history stores in %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox

Now i want to change the location some where ("like in Desktop") even while installing or after installation of Firefox.

Can anyone help me out..................

Thanks in advance.............
