Firefox Support Forum

I wanted to download the newest firefox but computer has windows XP with a 32 bit system. After I downloaded firefox 3.o.5 because it is a 32 bit system not a 64 bit like the 5.o.o the first thing that came up on the screen was my fire fox was out of date and I needed to download the newer firefox. My question is will it needing 64 bit system and mine being a 32 bit system will it work correctly on my computer?

Firefox doesn't open when I click on it. I have to click on New Window under File to get my bookmarks and a search page

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== No way to know. Nothing new has been done to Firefox.

I know that onbeforeunload can be used for it. But onbeforeunload gets called when page is refreshed or navigated. I have to call a function only and only when firefox is closed using close button given at the top.

clientX , clientY not working in firefox.

I'm running version 3.0.5, but didn't notice it wasn't updating until websites started complaining recently. When I try to upload manually from the website, the program downloads but will not copy into my applications folder. It says there is already an existing file, but when I click "Replace", it says I "do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."

I've looked in to ways that Firefox should automatically update. Mine does not offer to update from the "About Firefox" screen. When I go to Preferences -> Advanced -> Update, under "Automatically check for updates to:" everything is checked, but the box for Firefox is grayed out so I can't touch it.

I don't want to uninstall and reinstall because I'm afraid to lose all my saved passwords and bookmarks.

want to download newer version of firefox (also Microsoft Security Essentials-having same problem), but the run (execute) command doesn't appear. Instead, "save" (file) appears. What's wrong? I can detect no yellow information bar.

Just reinstalled the computer and downloaded firefox 3.6 I can't figure out why I get this message (translated from swedish) although I have clicked the option Allow:

"Firefox can't install the file from

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/addons/1865/adblock_plus-1.3.1-fn+fx+sm+tb.xpi

because: signature could not be controled. -260"

I'm using swfobject to display alternate html content on a Flash site. In FireFox only it loads the site's swf twice. It does not happen with any other browser. You can view the site I'm testing at http://www.turntwomedia.com/index-altContent.html

Not sure how often

== I was testing the site in all browsers.

I tried to open 25 tabs in one window using firefox 3.0.5 with windows xp. It would only let me open 10. Tabs I added after 10 were added, but tabs at the begining were erased. What do I have to do to open all the tabs that I may need without changing the firefox or windows version? Do I need to open a new browser window for every 10 tabs?

Question I am using Firefox 8.0. I have been receiving notifications on many webpages that my version of Firefox is out of date (hotmail is one example) & to please update my browser. Also, I get way too many incidents of Firefox "(not responding)". Even after disabling ALL add-ons, even the ones I consider necessary to my enjoyment of the browser. For every hour I spend on the internet 15 mins of that time is spent staring @ a black screen & waiting for it to respond again. I am finding this very frustrating & would appreciate some assistance...or a better browser.

States that I am running a version of Firefox that I am not. It says below that I am running version 3.05 but according to the "about Firefox" tab I am running version 8.0 & when I check for updates it says that Firefox is up to date.

I have tried to re-download & re-install numerous times to no avail.

I have a Macbook- I'm running OSX version 10.5.8. Previous versions of firefox have always worked fine. I downloaded the newest version of firefox, and have had all sorts of problems with it. After about 6 weeks of struggling with it, I have gone back to version 3.0.5. I know it's an earlier version, but the performance is way better. Windows and tabs open quickly, there are no loading problems on any sites, and other browsers work fine now, too. I run safari and google chrome also. I was almost at the point where I was going to pass on firefox altogether. In my opinion, the newest version is NOT STABLE and unless you fix the problems, I will not use it. This was a terrible experience and I will not try a new version right now. I'm just happy that I have a stable version of firefox again. And by the way, the older version is way faster loading pages, too.

when I open Firefox I get a pop up "premium content area" Asking me to do a 30 sec test by clicking on "win with best buy" and /or "Take the fast food survey"

I click my back button and it goes away but then comes back later

I created a customized security symbol, as prompted by Yahoo. It is supposed to appear on the mail sign-in page when using my computer. It worked fine initially. Now, my symbol no longer displays; I can see a faint placeholder there. The program still "remembers" my username choices. When I use Internet Explorer, my customized symbol still appears on Yahoo's mail sign-in page, so it does not appear to be a Yahoo-based problem. Do you know how to fix this (or what my next step should be rule out possible causes, etc.)?

When I try to access a known good good (non-phishing) web site I get a message that opendns is blocking the site because it is a phishing site. I am using FF3.05 under Slamd64 Linux. How do I stop this @#%#!#$^$%@ behavior of FF?

For some reason, firefox has started displaying RAW HTML when I navigate to a web site instead of rendering it. IE and Chrome are both rendering normally. What would cause this to start happening? Sometimes, pressing F5 fixes the problem, sometimes not. Sometimes I'll go to the same page the next day and everything is OK.

This happened

A few times a week

== A few days ago

I am using FF with a dialup connection on a Mac which is turned off every day. When I restart the Mac, FF defaults to "offline mode." I want FF to automatically connect to the internet every time the Mac is turned on. Currently, FF defaults to "offline mode" and I must manually uncheck the offline mode every time.

I found this reply (https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/772672?s=default+online+mode&r=15&as=s) but it does not help me in any way.

When I use IE, Safari, or NS, I am always automatically connected when I turn the computers on. I want the same behavior in FF.

I used to be able to return to the home page from anywhere on the web simply by clicking on the icon"little picture of a house" at the top of the page.The icon disappeared

Hi,

When I need to back on previous page, I have to press ALT+LeftArrow. Sorry, but it does not suit to me. I want to change that or to add some other shortcut, but.... or I did not find a right way.

Thanks in advance :) Goran
