Fóram Tacaíochta Firefox

why did you start using plugin-container.exe. It is constantly causing crashes on my computer proven by when I install firefox 3.6.4 or .5 or .6. the program also frequently uses 3.5 gigs of memory. When I remove firefox and install an older version that doesn't use it I have lots of memory left and no crashes.

This happened

Not sure how often

== when I installed firefox 3.6.4

How do I stop Firefox from asking ("To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier.") when I try to go back to a previous page?

I have version 19.0, but when I try and open out gmail, it keeps sayting we do not have the lates browser and to please update it. I HAVE the latest firefox. The same thing happens when we try and open our msn mail as well

i upgraded my firefox to 3.6.4 but when i add some add-ons it tell me that i have 3.5.8 & i have to upgrade it ... i reinstall 3.6.4 several times but still the same problem ...

Below is the error message window that appears upon start up and (before) the browser tabs appear.

[JavaScript Application] CaptureMovieFox could not be initialized. Some files of the extension maybe missing or there is a problem wit the Firefox. You can try by restarting Firefox.

This problem started after I upgraded to Firefox 5.0.

If you want a divider line, such as I added during the edit, use 5 hyphen characters in a row.

i asked a question on the forum i think twice but cant find it anywhere to see responses and my question was why the search box in the center of my ff/mozilla home page doesnt work thanks

Every time I do a new search, Firefox opens another tab in which to do it. How do I keep it from opening the new tab? I just want to do the search in the same tab that is already open.

== I don't remember when it started, but it now happens every time I do a search for something.

For some reason when i try to print an international shipping label from ebay or paypal it hangs up for a good 5 minutes before java loads it and i can print the label. it does not do this for domestic shipping labels. Its been doing it for some time now even after the switch with ebay printing the shipping labels now not paypal. its really time consuming and would like to know if i can do anything about it

For the past three days, Firefox opens as if for the first time - forgetting all the Options setting I save each time. This is a waste of my time and money. It operated for years correctly.

I am getting the followinf when going into Gmail

Some important features may not work in this version of your browser, so you have been redirected to the Basic HTML version. Upgrade to a modern browser, such as Google Chrome.

When I go to upgrade to a modern browser it tells me:

If you're using a supported browser,''''(which I am) ''''but see a message in Gmail that your browser is unsupported, you may be using an extension that interferes with browser detection. Try disabling your browser extensions to resolve the problem.

All my extensions are disabled. and I want to use firefox gmail and see all my features. What gives?

Firefox automatically installed the "private browsing" option on my browser. I do not want it.

== past update

I have been using Firefox 5 for some months now, but since last week, Firefox addons website doesn't recognize it as Firefox 5. For example, every time I try to install recently updated theme, there is a message saying it is "Not available for Firefox 3.5.8". Even this page where I'm typing my question now, where you say "We've made some educated guesses about your current browser and operating system", Firefox version shows 3.5.8, and Operating system shows Vista, but I'm using Win7. Why is this happening? Can you, please, help me?

As the question says, I can't seem to install v.7 correctly. I can download it. Open the file. Start to install it... but then nothing happens. When I open Firefox again (after rebooting sometimes) I still get version 3.5. Is there something I'm not doing?

Now that I look at the trouble shooting info I'm not sure. Every website I go to that requires a recent version of Firefox says I need to update my browser because it's old. I can't even access Google+ which I would like to use because it thinks my version of Firefox is 3.5. Suggestions?

I understand the charter on this is to "check-in" once every time the program is turned on, and then once every 6 hours after that, or, once every 24 hours presumably. But the phone-home-effect is over-stepping these basic parameters. If a user turns their browser off and then on, Firefox is still obligated to "check-in" even if it just checked in 3 minutes prior. If the coding is not pre-designed to overstep, or act excessively in a redundant focus, the instance of once every six hours or once every 24 hours, is still overmuch if a user has been doing this (non-voluntarily-participating) for 9 months or longer.

== This started when Firefox took up the initiative of "improving service. to end users" or similar idea, making the web safer for novice users, etcetera.

Whenever I am using firefox ( daily) it seems to use up a huge amnount of memory. It uses so much that loading pages slows to a crawl, and so do any other applications I am using. This happens even if I have only 2, or even 1 tab open. I am pretty sure I don't have any viruses-- although I admit I suppose this is possible--

but why would firefox be using this much memory/ space?

== a while now..

bing comes up when, for instance, I enter "amazon" in the address bar instead of taking me directly to Amazon.com. i can't find "bing" in any folders, remove programs in control panel (windows xp), the registry or FireFox add-ons.

I comment on a certain blog everyday and firefox never remembers my account. I just minimize or close firefox and it will make me sign up again even though I commented earlier in the day.
