Firefox 技術支援討論區

I have tried twice to upgrade my firefox to the most current (as of 7/18/10). When I did that I was unable to get anywhere on the internet. The message said the proxy settings from my server would not allow it and to make changes. I am using a home computer with Windows 2000. It hooks straight up to the DSL, there is no Server in my house. I am not too computer savvy but tried using the tools info but that just assumes I already know about proxies, servers, etc. I was able to delete the new version and load an older one stored on my computer and have no problems with getting on the net. What is the fix that I can do? What steps do I take. I am not going to hire a guy to do what should be a simple task.

There's an annoying pop-up that loads every time I start Firefox. It tells me to upgrade my operating system, as the latest version of Firefox doesn't support it. But it's the most advanced version of the OS my system will cope with, so that's not an option.

How do I turn the pop-up off?

This is not a specific question, as it is more of a general frustration with Firefox. I notice Firefox is much faster if I disable many add-ons I have installed over the years. It seems like Firefox gets a bad wrap because some add-ons slow down Firefox. Aren't there benchmarking tools available to show before and after results of using an add-on? I am using 5 out 19 add-ons at the moment and performance is a lot faster. All this time though, I just thought Firefox sucked when disabling add-ons leads me to believe that the culprit for the slow performance is due to an add-on.

Anyway, I think if Mozilla wants to protect their reputation more, the benchmarking tools should be a tool a browser user can interact with.

Windows 2000 SP4, 1g RAM, Firefox 9.0.1 We keep IE6 and Firefox open simultaneously for 2 different mail accounts. Firefox was always much faster even with 3 or 4 tabs open, but for the past couple of weeks when trying to update a screen the CPU suddenly goes to 100% usage and of course nothing will move until the particular process is finished. Closing one or more tabs does not help. If I close Firefox completely with Task Manager CPU usage goes back down to nil. After restarting Firefox CPU usage may or may not go back up depending upon whether it tries to continue the previous task that was locking it up. It did not do this with Firefox 3.6 but then again it didn't happen immediately after updating to 9.0.1 either.

Details: win2k Pro on a laptop. Stable for YEARS. Firefox 11 installed. Everything WORKS and works WELL.

Now, I get an annoying upgrade message about win2kpro NOT being supported and urging me to upgrade. So far, so good. I would expect this thing happening, but HOW do I turn it OFF when I can NOT change my computer configuration?

I do not have the financial resources to upgrade the OS. I will stick with the stable win2kpro that I have, thank you, AND I will stick with Firefox 11 since it seems to also be as stable as my 10 year old win2kpro on my laptop.

BUT! I have this message that pops up EVERY TIME I start Firefox, telling me what I have is NO LONGER supported, urging me to upgrade my OS and Firefox! OK! So I GET IT! But I can't upgrade because I simply do not have the MONEY!

I turned off the automatic updates option. I deleted the XML files as suggested by another as a fix. NOTHING HAS WORKED. I STILL get this damn message!

HOW DO I STOP THIS DAMN ANNOYING REMINDER TO UPGRADE THAT I CAN NOT AFFORD TO DO?

I received a message, purportedly from Firefox, that Win2K is no longer supported. Is this true? If it is true, can I continue to use FireFox under Win2K? What are the possible vulnerabilities? I access the internet through a wireless router which has a firewall. Thanks.

Sorry, on the left side of the browser there is a panel which I cannot seem to close or remove. It is titled "history" and it includes a search box and a list of visited sites. None of the typical fixes have been able to close the box.

I cannot install the lastest addition of firefox on Windows XP Professional SP3. I currently have version 12.0 and when I click check for Updates it says Firefox is up to date. However almost all websites display a notices that says "Looks like you're using an older version of firefox.

navigation buttons are grayed out - red x is missing from tabs........web pages will not show images..................the image cannot be displayed......contains errors.

Ni idea why this has suddenly happened.

Thank you

I'm using windows 7 on my hp laptop. When I try updating i get a message saying I need to have at least windows XP. Is there something else blocking my update? I've tried both updating an downloading the latest version. My current firefox is 13.0.1

I am FURIOUS with Flash, and Firefox! Some of us actually need to WORK! That is, use our frigging computers without updating all the time! This has been a WAR for me for years, and has become completely unmanageable! ... I spend 20 hours a week messing with my computers, and it's reached a point that I cannot even USE THEM - AND I AM AN EXPERT!!!! I want ALL YOU CRAPPY VIRUS-LADEN Software OUT OF MY MACHINES!!!!!! Make a browser that BROWSES without updating 8 million plugins every time I open it!! This is what is putting MICRO$OFT OUT OF BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!!! They refused to listen for years!!!

Have used Spyware Blaster for some 5-6 years to control malware manipulating MSIE, Firefox, and block selected sites w 100% success, now suddenly when I check the status I see the Firefox controls being disabled/reactivated to allow prohibited javascripts to run, popups to run, etc over time, going from 100% blocked down to 50% blocked over time.

This happened

A few times a week

== Firefox was upgraded to 3.63 and 3.64 versions

How can b/w wasting video streaming adds be blocked (running 3.5.9 on Win2K)?

Thanks

Gav

== General with sites that have video adds (not sure if it's all)
