windows xp sp3. firefox crashes on web navigation using any version higher than 9.0.1. Past 2 weeks., firefox 9.0.1 reinstalls then updates on computer boot wiping out passwords, bookmarks and bookmark toolbar. Reinstall occurs once per week. any suggestions. Using Zone Alarm for firewall and configured to allow Firefox. Thanks

I don't think any of this is cute. I need to upgrade my firefox as Microsoft fixed my computer and installed an early version. I can read the instructions but I can't find the 3 or 4 lines for menu. I need simple obvious instructions. I hate all of these setups. Eileen

if i try to update my FF it tells me my security cert is out of date by 20 days and wont let me do anything with FF i can open any other website. do i need to drop Firefox?

I am trying to manually enter barcode numbers for our library books on our online school portal, i can use our scanner to enter them but i am not able to manually type them in. I spoke to the support for our school portal and they said it my be something our internet browser is blocking...

Apparently, the trouble i had earlier today on my laptop, using a wifi server at the place i get wifi in the rent, is also affecting here at this large modern public library server too. it's not the computer not the public library, it is Firefox, Firefox is down. no way to other than read an email on Yahoo, unable to send or send a reply in fact, no reply button shown.

I am trying to register with Firefox and I get the response that you will email me to sign in. I never get the email. My email address is (E-mail removed by mod)

I get place to enter a search on my home page, (Goofle.com,) but, the Google logo is missing.

Why is this. ?

Hi,

I'm trying to change the search engine tool on Firefox to ixquick. I go to the search engine manager and go to add a new search engine. I search for ixquick and click 'add to firefox' then it comes up with a pop up asking for confirmation, i tick the box saying 'start using right away.'

Not only does it not come up in the search bar, but even when i visit the search engine manager, ixquick is nowhere to be seen.

Also, in preferences I've been trying to change my homepage, but whenever i restart firefox, it changes back to a website called 'MyStart.' the search engine tool also changes back to 'MyStart'

This is very annoying any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK seems like FF only i have this huge problem now cannot get flash player to stay after downloading into Fire fox i have to downlod or is it upload it every time to be able to see videos on any website.

I see others complain about crashing n stuff but i get crashes when playing games online like yahho poker games casino games and other games

I really do not want to install Chrome because Google invades privacy every thing i do in chrome can be found by others even if i came acroos a gay porn site while going through others i want to see!

So what's up with fire fox ? ONLY have this issue now it worked fine before with old flash player now cant get it. maybe remove NEW FF install older version for vista hmmmmmmmm think i'll try that !

I've been reading through old threads to try to jog my memory about how to install Flash for Firefox. I seem to be having the same problems as in multiple closed threads - Flash claims to install, but Firefox continues merrily using the old version. None of the support answers have helped, but I do remember how I fixed it before - the Flash Installer puts its files in the wrong place and you have to manually copy them to Firefox's Plugins directory. Until the files are in the right place, the helpful suggestion to use about:addons will not work. Now if I could only remember how I figured out where Flash puts its files...

I've been using Firefox for countless years now & it's ran nearly flawlessly even with a heavy load on my computer with my collection of 100+ tabs that I utilize on a daily basis for my research within Firefox & as I've mentioned; I've never ran into any serious or even bizarre problems.

My problem is with the tabs that have begun to "flash" when I open a specific website. In my case it's amazon.com & a couple of other sites that slip my mind at the moment, I'm sure the entire list will pop-up as soon as I locate the culprit script. I've been looking at possible ways of achieving something like this & it's clearly Javascript that the "hacker" is utilizing. I've mainly use a leaned out version of XP until a barrage of breaks hit my computer practically all at once & essentially forced me to abandon my primary partition for Windows & lately I've been using Ubuntu & even this operating system is experiencing breaks on a regular basis.

I've had a few breaks on my optical drives in Windows as well as Linux. One of my newer Samsung DVD-RW drives was turned into a reader(DVD-ROM) without me even restarting the computer so I know that they have some type of low level tool that can interface & overwrite firmwares as well as the System Bios in real-time without being in a safe mode like environment.

I know stuff can be hidden in modules from within Firefox but, please tell me that there's only a few or even one specific location where this "Enlightened" script is located. I don't think it should be that difficult in locating once I know what to look for.

There has to be someone out there that's familiar with Javascript & it's capabilities. Hopefully they're still just having their breakfast like I should have done this morning.

I am trying to upgrade firefox but i keep getting Chinese language. I found an article that told what steps to use to clear cache and cookies. But that does not help because the firefox button has all extensions in Chinese! THis is VERY frustrating!

I'm working on solving some major performance issues with my Firefox browser. Particularly slowness, hanging, error messages, etc.

I know one Big thing is that I need to upgrade to a newer version but before I can do that, I need to resolve some other issues, which I'm currently working on.

But I'm also researching if there are any other, obscure possibilities (such as too many bookmarks) that could negatively affect a FF browser's performance.

Probably a silly question, but I appreciate your help in furthering my education.  ;-)

Is there a way to discover whether any of my current add-ons will be disabled/incompatible *Before* I upgrade to a newer version of Firefox?

Whenever I've updated Firefox, I haven't found out until After the new version is installed that my favorite 'must-have' add-on is incompatible and there is no viable/satisfactory alternative to it. The loss of Certain add-ons is, for me, a deal-breaker to upgrading. And it's a royal pain to downgrade to the previous version to retrieve my add-on.

I don't know if addiction to particular add-on(s) is common - I figure I can't be the only one . . . ? It would be So helpful if there were a database or list that shows which add-ons are/are not compatible with which versions of Firefox. Is there such a thing? If not, could one be created?

Thanks for your help!

i have emptied cache, restarted, re-installed, and tried typing att.net direct e-mail, but firefox reverts to att.yahoo and i get the list of topics.

I keep getting a message that "An important update is available for Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.400.43". I click on "Update Now" and I get taken to the Mozilla Plug-in check page. A brief message shows at the top of the page that tells me some plugins are out of date and then disappears. The plugin checks show all plugins are up to date. I have uninstalled/reinstalled Java more than once and run a registry cleaner, but once I install Java the same messages appear. I am on a Windows XP machine and I am running an older version of Firefox (9.0) because addons for some of my other software don't work with newer versions of firefox. Can I get rid of the message or do I have to live with it because I use an older version of firefox?

This started just today and was originally doing it on many pages. I turned off caret browsing and now it seems to only be happening on facebook. I looked into facebook's options and help section but that was fairly useless. I'm on firefox 9.0.1 and running windows 7 ultimate. One of my cats likes to climb on my computer while I'm using it and I don't know what he pressed but that's probably what changed it. I messed with the auto- and smooth scrolling options to try and fix it but that didn't help either.
