Firefox Support Forum

web page created with iweb (3.0.1). worked great in firefox, then I added additional photos to an existing web page. All other browsers see these new pictures EXCEPT firefox. There seems to have been a previous issue with new pages, but fix appears only fro iweb2.x

On launch, the "install" window (drag FF to App folder) appears. Then, FF opens in my home page. I know this is not right, what to do?

== immediately after installing FF

How do I get the firefox addon to separate things like phone/social security number into their three boxes. Every time it just puts the entire number into each box. I've been trying to figure this out forever. I think I pretty much understand it well, just this one thing doesn't seem to have a solution on the net.

== It's a problem with the addon so it started when I added it on...

when I open a second tab while working in my legal research site, I cannot utilize and important feature, "copy with reference." the window for this feature opens, but it opens empty. this is not the case in the first firefox tab. for complicated reasons, this is a real pain.

I don't use the caret bousing and since I don't know what affect the F7 kay has on other programs I would like to remove that function from Firefox. Can that be done?

My wife has to switch between older and newer versions of Firefox. Her work IT department created web-based software that is incompatible with the newest version of Firefox. The annoyance is that every time she switches Firefox versions, the Firefox update page comes up in the first tab. Is there any way to disable that?

== This week.

Documents will not download. NEVER had this before. They download in Safari & all other programs- but FF - which I've gone through with a fine-tooth comb- doesn't pull them down to my computer anymore. I've never had this problem before. I need to revert to an earlier version of FF.

Fx 3.6.3. By default, all my history, cookies & cache are always cleared on close. I launched a new session and did nothing but sort my bookmarks. I did not visit any sites.

Yet my cache was full of entries to all of the sites whose bookmarks I had sorted.

Can someone explain to me why this happens? It seems like a privacy issue to me.

This happened

Not sure how often

== I just noticed it today very randomly

From what I've read, it's the widespread "Google redirect trojan". Except that there seems to be solutions for PC and not for MAC. Oh, the irony.

Not sure how or when, as I am not aware of having installed anything voluntarily. It is now affecting Firefox, as well as Safari.

== with the new version

Hi, I have downloaded new Firefox 3.6 for my OS 5.8 (previous version was running fine) and it doesn't work at all. Links do not work, address bar does not open sites, period. I deleted the previous version and now I am stuck-I can't find it anywhere, and I want to get rid of this "upgrade". Safari works fine with my system. It looks like the javascript problem...what to do?

Every time Firefox opened

I installed new Firefox

Seriously, does it really need to be a new version EVERYTIME I launch Firefox? Is it that buggy? It's super annoying.

== Asks me to update FIrefox.

3.6.3 & 3.6.3(2) files on desktop. Shud I drag down to orange world icon for firefox. When installing forgot the procedure. need to see again. Only a beginner and not game to proceed without advice

== yesterday when installing free update

Plugin Check page always comes up with "problem/Retry" despite months of trying to use it. Using MacOSX 10.5.8 with latest Firefox Browser update installed. Tried clearing History/Cache/Cookies. Tried Disabling all Extensions and all Plug-ins save for Quicktime Java (which does need to be updated.) Tried all of previous at the same time. Tried Refreshing multiple times. Any ideas how I can get this to work on a Mac?
