I have had this issue since version 43. I am now running version 46.01 on a Mac OS Yosemite and when I reinstall version 46.01 after a few days I get a message that a a newer version already exists. Firefox reports 46.01 and at the time of this comment June-3-2016 there is no newer version. If I reinstall say the next day I don't get the newer version message.

What is changing in Firefox that makes reinstalling the same version believe it is installing over a newer version?

Hello

yosemite latest.

I upgraded to 45.0 from 41 and firefox opened. The i did 1 think and it would not open again.

The 1 thing was : I went and looked at my search history and clicked the last month and clicked delete. Fx hung. So i rebooted and then Fx would not open. I rebooted again(I could not remember the keystrokes for safemode) and 3rd time I rebooted I got a popup that said it was having problems on startup refresh / safe mode. I tried both options. Neither worked.. crashed again.

So now I have I restored from backup (the backup was showing v41 in FEBE naming). I restored manually by unzipped the FEBE backup, and setting the profile name as it was before. Then thankfully Fx was intelligent enough to know i had reverted back to v41 and rechecked the addons for compatibility. Nice!

So now, back to original problem. Storage of search history - I suspect a corruption in this area.

Assuming (please correct me if I am wrong), where Fx saves my search history is in the sqlite database, places.sqlite.

Question 1 - In my profile directory i have 2 places.sqlite database. Is it correct I have both of these places.sqlite.corrupt (date of file is 24/4/15) places.sqlite (date of file is 24/4/15) fyi - last profile i created was when i did a clean install of yosemite. so new fx and then loaded elements from prior profile.

Question 2 - I really dont need my search history. I would like to start from a brand new sqlite for this aspect of Fx. Is that possible? how do I do that?

What is critical to me, is my bookmarks, and remember the sizing of the sites i have visited e.g. zoom size. I backed up my bookmarks before I attempted to upgrade. no diea where the zoom size of pages is stored.

Thankyou for your help in advance.

I want to know when I can enable the Adobe Flash plugin again. In other words, I don't want to have to repeatedly check back to find out if things have changed. Could you notify Firefox users?

I was trying to comment on an open thread but I keep getting an error. I've cleared cookies, etc.

This is the thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1048978?fpa=1#answer-preview

I keep getting this message:

"Oh, no! It looks like an unexpected error occurred. We've already notified the site administrators. Please try again now, or in a few minutes."

I also tried it using Safari w/the same results.

This has been going on for several hours.

Since Update to 42 it keeps crashing 5-10 times a day.

Seems like the same mentioned here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7269348

Firefox will not copy/paste within itself from pull-down menu. Will not accept/paste material copied from Mac email, from Word, from Safari. Without copy/paste, the browser is USELESS.

How do I fix this?

I received notice from Firefox about its latest update. After completing the update (47.0), the cache will not clear to '0' as it has done for years. I went to about:cache and saw a 'cache2' that will not clear 62kb. I know this is not much, but I do not like the fact that it will no longer completely zero. Then I noticed a folder called 'doomed'.

Can cache2 be disabled? Is there someway to completely clear cache2? Is 'doomed' malware?

Firefox keeps opening. I close it, open Chrome, click on Google Earth, and it opens in Firefox, which isn't very compatible with it. I read that Chrome works it better, but I can't get my computer to cooperate. I'm just afraid that, if I tell Chrome to be my default browser, when I'm done with Google Earth, I won't know how to restore Firefox to the default. Can someone please give me all the steps to go both ways?

I have read the other solutions to this and have implemented all of them. I disabled hardware acceleration, and updated all media drivers. This slowed down the crashes, but Firefox is still sluggish. I'm running Firefox 36.0.1 on a OSX 10.10.2 multiple addons.

my flash player IS up to date but firefox keeps crashing and i keep getting this error message firefox has prevented the unsafe plugin "adobe flash" from running (whatever webpage im on) please let me know how i can fix this? ASAP

I know all the risks and I've read https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-older-version-of-firefox

Unfortunately when I go to the link w/the older versions, it doesn't say how to install. I'm not a techie, so I have no idea what to do with the files.

I only want to go back to where I can still block 1st party cookies.

I've checked the add-ons. From what I've read, since ff took away this option, none of them have anything that works.

I Know that Firefox has Yahoo as default search engine. When I follow the instructions to change it to Google (choosing Google from the bar) there is no button to save the change or one that says OK. And so the change does not register. Because when I open up Firefox again, it still shows Yahoo. Some advice I got (one on Youtube) shows an OK button. Yet it does not show up anywhere on my site. So: How to make the search engine "stick?" Please advise. Thanks Frans

I've been troubleshooting for issues of Firefox hanging. It is primarily with one location, full of media content: http://www.theguardian.com/au

First, I closed some windows with many tabs, which didn't help. I followed instructions for increasing speed by changing settings for pipelining, which did not seem to help. I started to, but did not, change places settings. Also looked at suggestions re shockwave, but do not think I followed any.

Then I downloaded YesScript. This has solved the loading/hanging problem. But it has also made viewing comments in their normal presentation impossible. Even when I turn YS off, the comments do not load in a useful way.

Since it now appears that my primary problem is due to javascript, is there any other way I can rectify the problem? Thanks.

To save a link for any website to my desktop, I click on the circular (i) Icon on the far left side of the URL bar (to the left of the green security padlock icon, if there's one there).

I would then hold my mouse button down, and drag it to my desktop, and a new link would appear WITH THE NAME of the page itself.

NOW, it saves website's url address (without the http://).

How do I switch it back, so it saves the NAME of the page, instead?

hello

since upgrading to v37.0.2, the new tab with blank (nothing on it) is appearing.

i would like to stop the "new tab" being opened/apearing when i start fx, and it seems to randomly appear (not sure what triggers it). I would only like to have newTab feature, when i click the + mark.

Is this possible?

thankyou

I've just discovered an Add-on by Chris Pederick called "Web Developer", which adds an extra bar below the Bookmarks Toolbar that allows many additional features, including something like "Filesizer" called "Resize". I relied on Filesizer, and Resize woks for me.

I'm on Firefox 54.0.1 on Yosemite (Mac), and when I "Bookmark this page" I'm no longer given a dialog box that allows me to navigate to where I want if saved. Instead, it's saved in the Bookmarks Menu. [not Other Bookmarks, as advertised]. When was this change made?

No tabs will open except the support or the three lines. 45 tabs open and none accessible. DO I just have to change to Safari and erase everything made by mozilla? What is the other name for the three lines? Do we really need the three lines, @ is easier to refer to, or * or £ or a thousand other characters all unused on all our keyboards. How should I create the three lines symbol? Has this been chosen so that no one can even talk about the three lines in a similar way that androod has the wank symbol for non-gay access to the root directory?

Problems with Google taking over the browsing when I browse on Firefox's line

I have checked that the settings are as they should be as to your suggestion, and it doesn't solve the problem with Google taking over the browsing, I 'm afraid.

If I can I should like to remove Google permanently from my mac. I find it a bit difficult because I can't see the icon anywhere, which I find very strange. I have tried to seach in finder and elsewhere. I'll try to follow the instructions from a fellow on Youtube and see if I can manage. Can you help?
