USAToday has been my homepage for years, suddenly FIrefox will no longer open as either my preferred homepage or entering it into the address line.

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8 lost every addon, bookmark and history. Chatted with Tech Suppor Online but solutions are very complicated for me. I guess I will just have to give up on what was a very fine browser but now is worthless.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I installed the new update.

Why can't I wipe my address bar clean, even after deleting all my history? I ticked everything but my address bar is still full of the website adresses I've visited and it still does the autocomplete when I type in as if my browsing history is still there. The e-mail address/profile name autocomplete however, still gets wiped clean after deleting the history and that's how I know that clearing my private data still works. At least, partly. Help!

== It didn't used to do this but over time it's started to develop.

I can't access my hotmail account among some other websites since upgrading to 3.6.8 on my macbook. I get the following message: "The proxy server is refusing connections. Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections. Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct. Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working." I can't even find the proxy settings anymore.

I found a post about this issue, which was marked 'solved', but it isn't! To use Firebug, I had to upgrade Firefox and since I did, I can't use the 'preview' function in Dreamweaver (It works only once, when Firefox is closed, but I don't like to close and re-open Firefox every time I want to preview a page). Downgrading is not an option, as I can't use Firebug and I really not think Adobe has to solve a problem caused by Firebox, as suggested in the previous post.

I use the clear private data with everything checked off. The history seems to clear - but the address bar still has all the sites I have visited. I would like to have the address bar clear. Working on a mac.

I cannot view my contract notes on this site and they suggest that I need to downgrade to 3.6.7. How do I do this?

Recently, IRS forms will not display on my screen. I have a Mac and it used to display these forms on the screen. Could the problem be caused by a recent version of Firefox Mozilla.

Right now, when I click to add a new rss feed (using the icon up in the search bar), it automatically launches yahoo, which drives me crazy. I want to CHANGE the setting so that it automatically launches google reader. Please advise!

Whenever I boot up my Mac in the morning Firefox automatically starts and displays my home page. I would only like to see the desk top with no applications running. I am running OSX 10.4.11 on my laptop.

== Started possibly a few weeks ago.

Google Maps will not load after print request. Running Firefox 3.6.8 on OS X 10.4.11. Just started a few days ago, after downloading new Firefox upgrade.

After Firefox updated yesterday, the YouTube home page takes forever to load. Once there, the videos can not be viewed and the video window is black. Embedded YT videos can not be seen on webpages and blogs (they appear as solid white boxes).

Meanwhile, Vimeo and Flash advertisements work fine. I cleared the cache and that didn't help. I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash, and rebooted and that didn't help.

I'm using a G5 Mac, and haven't had problems with YouTube before. A few other folks are reporting this problem in the YouTube forum. If the problem was with YouTube in general, thousands of people would be reporting it. I'm wondering if the problem is related to the Firefox for Mac that was updated yesterday?

When I download pdf files through Firefox, nothing appears - blank page. Sometimes a dialog box appears asking me what application I wish to select and I select Acrobat MS Word is not an option available). I've gone over my settings and preferences but can see nothing that would produce such a result. I am using a G5 iMac.
