Firefox Support Forum

THIS IS A MACBOOK related question. I'M NOT ON WINDOWS.

When navigating to an image after an image search (of Marcia Cross) with Google. Search page suddenly shrinks to dialogue box with a black exclamation point in a yellow diamond followed by the message: "The page at http://sanprotectionxp.com says: Windows Security has found critical process activity on your system and willl perform fast scan of system files." There's an OK button to click. I do not. I can do nothing but force quit to avoid problems but when I open Firefox 3.6.16 again same thing sometimes happens again, this time without search, but as soon as the Firefox window opens again.

hmm, i am not good at english

please understand.

I have just upgraded Firefox from 3.6.16 to Firefox 4 (OS Win XP) I had Fire FTP as an add on, but after upgrading it disappeared from the Tools Menu (along with all my accounts details) I then re installed the Fire FTP Add On but it does not appear in the Tools Menu, where has it gone? Firefox 4 appears to have reinstalled previously removed Extensions/Add ons The Tools Menu doesnt have anything in it. How can I roll back from Firefox 4

i uninstalled and re installed and same thing even used a different install file it installed fine on laptop had to go back to firefox 3.something till someone can tell me whats wrong

I've just had to roll-back to Firefox 3.6.16. For those with a similar problem, here's the link: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Firefox 4 became unusable. Firefox 3.6.16 is using about 110,00k of memory - but Firefox 4 was using, typically 160,000k but anything up to 200,000k causing my machine to hang as it struggled to find the memory.

The weird thing about the memory use was that it just kept on climbing - just a couple of tabs open, nothing special, but you watch the memory usage keep stepping on in about 200k increments.

There appears to be a major memory leak in Firefox 4, and until it is rectified it really is, for me, completely unusable. I had to use explorer to download 3.6.16 it was that bad.

SOS!!! Yesterday I opened firefox through a link in my email. The window opened with two tabs: one is the new link I opened and the other one is for restoring my previous sessions from earlier time. Since firefox was working a bit strangely so I tried to open the new link several times. Now problem happened. When I try to restore sessions, it only restores to the last one I had with just two tabs. Even though I kept clicking on "restore session" within the restore session window, it won't show all my previous tabs information but stuck with the two tabs lastly seen. And it continue to repeat these two tabs no matter how I choose (even by deactivating the new tab window, it still doesn't restore to original status). I thought by shutting down my computer completely, maybe firefox will go back to my previous settings, but this morning when I turned it back on, it still stick with the last two tabs opened yesterday. Where can I find all the old tabs I used to saved? SOS!!!

I was on the Apple Support community forum and followed a link . WOT add on said safe, but all of a sudden a pop-up? said Mozilla was running a scan and found a virus and a trojan. However, it was scanning windows files which I don't have (I have an iMac). I closed the tab immediately and went to Safari to pose this question there. Then went back to Firefox, the same link and clicked it and it happened again. I am sure it was bogus (now that I am calm) but wondered if this has happened to anyone else. I haven't done a google search on it yet. The fact that it mentioned Mozilla was very disconcerting since I believe this is very trustworthy.

There are a lot of changes in Firefox functionality that made some loyal users angry enough to drop FireFox: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/ask/discuss?page=1

Those are not confused users but rather people that consider some of the last changes not only controversial but rather completely unacceptable since they affect their productivity.

Please note, that those are not just questions asking for help but rather a frustrated state of mind telling that you have broken real useful functionality that you shouldn't have touched, as in the principle "if it isn't broken, don't change it".

Those affected features are: 1) Save All Tabs / Save Group Tabs - now removed from FF4 2) Move Tabs / Bookmarks Around - now removed from FF3.6.16 3) Reload button etc

I have a mac os x ver 10.6.6 and firefox version 3.6.16. I installed an HP Photosmart D110a printer (had a HP printer before that died) this morning. This evening, all of a sudden, I started getting the "host does not exist" message when I would enter a partial url address in the location bar of my home igoogle page on firefox. Usually, firefox automatically completes the url, I hit return and my website comes up. Now I just get the does not exist screen. I also had to update Adobe a couple of days ago.

I use Firefox exclusively. Right now - when I open it up - the top row - is arrows, the refresh curved arrow, the X the House and the URL link. I no longer have access to commands - on a separate row - that show - Print, Copy, et al. Or Bold, underline, et al. So when I'm on a website - trying to create a blog - I can't format it. I have to use CTRL P or CTRL C to print or copy. Please advise. I'm using the most up to date version - 3.6.16 not 4.

An unsolicited add on called General Crawler 2.0 has suddenly appeared. Standard Firefox advice has not worked, nor has uninstalling Firefox and re-installing. When you uninstall it justs keeps coming back. If you disable it it stays there but you can't tell if the disable is genuine.

v 3.6.16 . this happens on http://att.my.yahoo.com/?_bc=1. featured top stories. does not do this from ie.

FireFox 3.6.16 want sto update to 3.6.18 (45 minutes), but when I tried to download it at the library (under 1 minute) I got 3.6.19 - is that compatible with Win2000 and 56k? What other differences are there?

I use Lotus Notes web based email (iNotes) for work. I normally use Firefox as my browser. All versions so far have worked fine. I upgraded to Firefox 4 last night and got a big shock when I went to my iNotes email. Although I could log in just fine, none of my folders (inbox, sent mail, etc.) would show any of my emails. Could this be a different default setting that needs to be changed or is it a "bug?"

I downloaded FireFox 4 on Friday 25 March 2011. It would run ok with my saved Bookmarks and is faster BUT when i do a Google Search, Firefox 4 ALWAYS freezes/crashes. Windows Task Manager displays the message "Not Responding".

Today, I have re-installed FireFox 3.6.16 because of the Freeze/Crash problem that i'm encountering with FireFox 4.

When downloading Firefox 4.0, DigitalPersona Personal 4.11.3805 with DigitalPersona Extension 5.0.0.3790 (from Mozilla Firefox Add-Ons) is incompatible. Fingerprint swipes only open the DPP application's Home Page. I had to uninstall FF 4 and re-install FF 3.6.16 in order to utilize fingerprint logon recognition.

DigitalPersona will no longer support DigitalPersona Personal as is evidenced by the following email I received from PersonalSupport@digitalpersona.com:

"Thank you for contacting DigitalPersona. We are extremely sorry to inform you there will be no update releases for DigitalPersona Personal in the future. We are also sorry to inform you there will be no updates for Firefox 4 nor Internet Explorer 9. You certainly can try to use either one, if they work for you great!. If they do not work, you will have to decide to either keep DPPersonal and forgo Firefox 4 or IE 9, or vice versa. DigitalPersona, regretfully, is leaving the consumer market and is focusing on numerous business and legal applications. In fact, again sorry to inform you, DigitalPersona Personal will not be supported after Mid-April of this year."

Hardware/Software:

Computer: HP DigitalPersonal Personal: 4.11.3805 OS: Windows 7 64bit Browser: Firefox 4 Fingerprint Reader Sensor: Validity Driver: 2.0.0.1

Will there be an update to this extension, or are there other software options to make the Validity Sensors, Inc. fingerprint reader compatible with FF4?

I tried FF 4 twice and the result was the same in my two experiments. FF 4 resets my PC.

I am a veteran Mozilla product user since Netscape days and I don't know why this happens now. I uninstalled 3.6 before installing 4.0.

No, nothing changed.

All of a sudden, the PC resets itself and this happens only when FF 4 is installed and being used.

FF 4 doesn't crash. No error message.

This a 3 year old XP machine, clean, carefully maintained and used only by me, a 40 year old experienced PC user.

So, what should I do?
