Hi. I have two computers .... an iMac and a MacBook, both fairly new and running the El Capitan OS. Firefox is always my preferred browser. Lately I've been receiving alerts to update to Firefox 49, and have now done that on my desktop. However, after asking a related question here in this forum, I have received responses telling me that there are problems with version 49 and therefore I should stick with 48. I am so confused! I am not a super techie person, and now I'm worried that I may be doing some kind of damage by running 49 on my iMac .... am I supposed to try and go back to the previous version (no idea how I would do that) .... should I not update to 49 on my MacBook? Sorry about all these questions at once but I'm really worried and have no idea what's going on. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much in advance.

Morning All,
I am having what appears to be an unusual problem with my Windows 10 system that I think Firefox is responsible for causing.
Firstly, we recently moved office about two weeks ago and as part of that process, we have switched from Australia's National Broadband Network (NBN hybrid fibre to node network) to a full fibre optic Internet connection which is supposed to be much faster. However, since the move, I have noticed that my connection speed seems to be much slower on Firefox particularly when launching, often having to wait upwards of a minute and a half for Firefox to launch and load my home page (Google) and also similarly slow when loading additional tabs or new pages. Not only is Firefox slow in this but it also causes the entire system to hang while it is loading pages.
Further to this, since about last Thursday, I have been having trouble with my Windows 10 operating system. I started the system to get the "mbr not found" black screen and after about two hours, I eventually go the system to boot. I had initially suspected an SSD failure so I booted into Ubuntu to see if I could mount the partition to test if it were working. Ubuntu could not log me in as it reported the Windows was still logged in on the SSD. Eventually I used the Command Line on the system recovery disk to force Windows to log out, fixed the mbr and got back into the system with Firefox still slow and oddly, the system clock was wrong.
The system worked fine all day Friday however, this morning, when I started the system it booted normally but when I opened Firefox, it did its usual system freeze and hanging problem and then I got the blue screen with the error message "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED". This time however, I when I did the restart, I got the "operating system not found" black screen as opposed to a missing mbr screen. I booted into Ubuntu and got the same Windows still logged in message as I did last Thursday and then moved on to repair the system using the Windows installation disk and oddly again, the system time was incorrect. I then opened Firefox to try and do some research as to what the underlying cause as I was suspecting that it was my SSD on its last when again, Firefox caused the system to hang followed by the "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED" blue screen. This happened twice more (once was after I installed a free disk imaging software to back up my SSD which launched Firefox after installation) before I decided to uninstall Firefox to see if that were the cause (I used Revu to rip it out fully). Thus far, it seems to have worked and I have been working off Chrome for the past few hours and it appears to be much faster and not causing the system to freeze or crash.
Has anyone else noticed this behaviour? It

Hello!
Since I downloaded Firefox the other day I am not able to connect to gmail from this specific browser, yet it works in Chrome and Edge. Twice I have deleted and reinstalled Firefox, and the same issue remains. I am running the most current version of Firefox, have no addons, and have attemped the troubleshooting for similar threads. Yet my Privacy settings are set on default and there is no blacklisted website at all.
Please help. Firefox is my favorite browser but if I can't acces my email in it then it's just junk to me.
Thank you for your help!

Hi. The computer I'm having trouble with at the moment is a fairly new MacBook Air with OS X 10.11.3 .... El Capitan. I downloaded Firefox (48) right away when I got it and have been using it as my preferred browser. Recently starting getting alerts that I could update to Version 49. After some glitches, managed today to get the update done and even checked several times by clicking on "Firefox", then "About Firefox", and every time the pop up box said "Firefox 49" and "Firefox is up to date". However, a few minutes ago, after being offline for awhile, I went on and once again received the "alert" to update. So now when I click on "About Firefox" I'm back to Version 48. No idea what's going on. Your help would be extremely appreciated .... thank you.

There are a few users of this computer. There are a few different users of the facebook account. I am using Mozilla Firefox as the browser. Each user has their own name and password. When a user is done using their fb, they right click in upper right box of fb and scroll to "log out" and click on it to "log out". It starts thinking and doesn't log out the user but just sits there moving or thinking. In order to close out window you have to X out the entire page and totally restart the computer. Sometimes that doesn't work and you need to shut off whole pc and sometimes that doesn't work. I am on a Microsoft Windows XP/ Home Edition/ Version 2002 /Service Pack 3
Question 2: When you try to write a comment on facebook, you get an error message with a yellow triangle with a red exclamation point in it and it says : Unable to post message. [Try Again] If you keep trying, it eventually posts 50,000 times in your feed when I check my feed on my IPhone.
Same computer. Thank you

When I load addons.mozilla.org Firefox says that the Public Key Pinning header for the page was ignored. Is this supposed to be this way?

When I load the addons.mozilla.org page in Firefox, I see the following warning in the console: "Public-Key-Pins: The certificate used by the site was not issued by a certificate in the default root certificate store. To prevent accidental breakage, the specified header was ignored." I happens both when I use Firefox normally (with a few addons installed) and when I use the "safe mode".
Does this really mean that the public key pinning doesn't work for addons.mozilla.org? If yes, what can I do against this?
Thanks already for your answer!

I've been using Firefox sync for some time now and lately I switched emails. I tried to move all my data to a new sync account with my new email by signing into both in succession. Then I deleted my old account (probably not the smartest idea, I know).
My new account has trouble staying signed in. I will sign into it by confirming the email and it will register as a success but it won't sync and when I got to look at my account it asks me to "sign in to reconnect". Why is this happening and is there anything I can do?

Can anyone make this work for the new FFs?
(The new FFs feel like "quick-20/80-Google/M$SFT" "update-rape" "philosophy"...options are one thing, forcing them is another. The idea of quick iterations was not guinea-pigging the user, but to learn quickly, for a better result, which then become options, not dogma. Admittedly, easier said than done. Still love FF, but please get back to real good, not wacko juggernaut, for total love!)

Hello. Not sure if I'm in the right place to ask this question. If not, I apologize and please point me in the right direction.
I started with downloadhelper and converter so long ago I've forgotten how I set everything up! I normally just download remixed song files from Soundcloud. I reinstalled Mozilla last week, so all my old settings are gone. I know there was a way to set the bitrate for mp3 downloads in the rules section, there was a phrase that I used but can't remember how. I'm interested in 2 things. 1) how to set the download bitrate in the rules section and 2) how to retain the original bitrate so that I'm not taking a 96br file and converting it to 128, makes no sense to do so. I know I had those settings before but can't seem to find anything on the web to remind me how.
thanks!

I was getting the error of "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window." And none of the solutions I found were working, including restarting my computer, closing background processes etc. So I decided that I would just uninstall firefox and reinstall it fresh. Only after the instillation when It started up for the first time I still got the same error message. How can there be firefox running when I've uninstalled the old fire fox / this is the first time I've opened the new install?
Please Advise.
