Firefox Support Forum

I will not use Firefox 29 or newer until the crappy interface introduced in v29 it made user friendly, and bring back certain missing thing from v28 (they may be profile holdovers from a much older version), no the classic theme restorer does not bring them back. The above is here simply to try and stop suggestions about using v29

I have tried going into options menu Firefox>Options>Advanced>Never Check for Updates, but that does not prevent updates. I have had to uninstall Firefox 29 5 times today every time after telling it to "Never check for updates."

I've noticed recently that Firefox stopped playing YouTube videos and showing only black screen where supposed to be a video. So after a lot of research, many people claimed that this is flash player problem. I tried to install earlier version but that didn't change anything. So I uninstalled Firefox and downloaded older, but stable version (34.0.5). And voila! YouTube shows videos again. After a week I noticed that YouTube again shows black screen box. Unintentionally, I opened Revo Uninstall and saw that there's TWO Firefoxes installed - one is that I personally installed and another is newest Firefox 37.0.2. So I uninstalled latest Firefox, but unfortunately it also uninstalled my older version Firefox. So this time I again installed older Firefox (34.0.5) and made that it never look for updates and won't install them. YouTube started to play well. After a few days, again Youtube doesn't show videos, only sound plays, and you can see actual video frames by pointing cursor on video time line. So I checked installed applications and AGAIN found mysteriously installed latest Firefox with the old one. So can anybody help me to stop latest Firefox automatic installation and only leave the old one? Any solution would be very appreciated.

I can not remove extensions or plugins from 36.0.1 version. I do not have a "remove" button as is described in the page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/di

Mozilla at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-on-signing-in-firefox?as=u says that I "can still install [an] unverified add-on at [my] own risk"--but it doesn't say how. How may I use an add-on that in version 40.0.2 Mozilla has disabled for being "unverified"?

Hi,

I had an automatic update install to firefox around 2 weeks ago. Since then it has gone from being the best and fastest browser on my computer to the slowest.

Even just typing this message there is a massive lag between me typing and it appearing on screen. Prior to the update it used to run perfectly. If I try and clear the search bar to type in a new address it can take 5 - 10 seconds or won't do it at all so I end up typing into what's already there! Basically every action I take with keyboard or mouse has a delay attached to it.

I have so far tried to reset Firefox option which has made no difference.

Am running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 with 4 GB of RAM. Over half of hard drive space remaining.Chrome which I also have on my PC is running perfectly normal. If possibly I'd like to carry on using firefox! :-)

Thanks for any help.

So, every time I open up firefox my home page opens up like it should, but also an options tab always comes along with it. This does not happen, however, when I open up a private browsing window.

Everytime i open firefox which defaulted to google.com, it prompted http://www.hao123.com/?tn=98005892_hao_pg instead, I've use malware tools and other solution provided on internet but none of that work, please assist

tools---DOWNLOADS = PUT A "RESTORE" LOST DOWNLOAD LIST = A "COPY" DOWNLOAD LIST TO A SECOND SECURE SAVE A COPY OF IT FILE = A CANNOT DELETE ENTIRE DOWNLOAD LIST WITHOUT AGREEING TO DELETE DOWNLOAD LIST ON A SECOND POPUP WARNING BOX !!!!

i have lost my download lists over and over----you should not have "clear downloads anywhere --it is too easy to remove clear lose entire download history list-----=you should remove it from top of page next to organize----you should remove it from the right click drop down menu.....you should make it so manually remove one by one....if want to remove clear entire download history list you should make it hard to do accidentally .....

you should also make it find and highlight like it did before each download when you right click on item to ?"find in folder"

the "go to download page" no longer works at all...PLEASE RESTORE THIS FUNCTION....

what is email for mozilla itself...or phone number or email of anyone who can put the above changes in firefox....how do you leave a message on their Facebook or twitter..Mozilla impossible to contact.....

locking this old thread

Last night after updating my Bitdefender security and a reboot, I've been encountering a "Your connection is insecure" message on every page I visit, including Firefox (Mozilla.org). It seems a waste of time to add exceptions to 100s of sites. Any suggestions or fixes? I've been a Firefox user for many years and have never seen anything like this.

I also recently updated Firefox to the most recent version.

Once Firefox 31 is installed it sees all PDF files as Firefox HTML files and changes all of the PDF icons to Firefox HTML icons. This change can not seem to be reversed without uninstalling Firefox. Only the icon is changed, not the .PDF extension.

I did update to FF 29 and to my horror it just looks awful and makes no sense at all anymore :( Seems somehow FF thinks it's wise to make it look like other browsers :( I did try the "old look"-add on, did try the add-ons to get buttons back on the bottom (which is the most logical place for them), and so on. But the overall look just stays awful :( Until there is an option where I can get the real and logical version 28 layout back, where is a complete version of FF 28 so I can use a logical layout FF browser?

Quantum sucks rocks. I can't use my Hootlet app and the menu bar is terribly designed. It's hard to find anything I want and visually it's jarring.

I'd like to go back to regular Firefox. Where can I go to download an older version and use it?

I have used FireFox for Years and I have ALWAYS been able to have the Kaspersky Add on in it. Now, I need some kind of Signed statement?? This browser has never had that problem before. I cannot (read: will not) use FireFox without Kaspersky incorporated into in.

How do I get this statement (or whatever it is I need) to reinstall the Kaspersky Addon. Am I supposed to contact them for it and have them send it to you or what. This used to be automatic and I am sure there are a lot of other people not happy about this. Your beginning to behave like Chrome. They did the same thing a few years ago, cut out a lot of addons and such and wouldn't do anything to help people get them back. But at least they support Kaspersky. Why not you guys, all of a sudden??

Yes, I am VERY upset. I had to set up another account because I could not log into my Original account. I asked it to send my password, NO RESPONSE, I asked to send my user name, NO RESPONSE; in total three emails not received to try access my account.

FireFox updated to version 43.0.1 a little while ago and its all gone kaflewy (I'm trying very hard to stay polite). So what happens now??

I just noticed below that Kaspersky is not even in my installed plugins list.

as my home page shows mysearch123.com i tried to fix it through options bar and i refresh firefox but it didn't go away. what can i do?

I just upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7. I reinstalled firefox, added the speeddial that I liked so much, and then tried to use firefox. I can't type the web address into the address bar when I start firefox. I always have to open a new tab before it'll let me do it. Also, I can't highlight and copy what's typed there - AND I can't "paste and go" anymore. Is that open gone?
