I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I am trying to get to a specific port and Firefox blocks the access, https://x.x.x.x:xxxxx. This is the message:

This address uses a network port which is normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. Firefox has canceled the request for your protection.

How can I allow a specific port?

Mozilla at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-on-signing-in-firefox?as=u says that I "can still install [an] unverified add-on at [my] own risk"--but it doesn't say how. How may I use an add-on that in version 40.0.2 Mozilla has disabled for being "unverified"?

Shockwave Flash was causing my browser 40.0.3 to start videos I did not want to play, I added an add-on to block Shockwave Flash; however, this became very cumbersome to enable and disable when i go to sites that required Flash like a greeting card site. I found another add-on called "Video without Flash", it told me to remove "shockwave Flash" I did, now I can not get any video on the greeting card site. Is the problem that I removed Shockwave Flash or something else, I have the latest Flash Player from Adobe.

I need some help.

I would like to install 32-bit Firefox on my machine 64. This is necessary to meet requirements of a given application by the government here in Brazil How can I download a 32-bit version?

Every time I try to view an MSN or Amazon video, I get the sound but a GREEN screen and no video. I always have to go to another browser to view content. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING????

Hello,

Everything was running completely fine in Firefox and then all of a sudden it simply stopped displaying .swf files. Where they should be is simply blank. On websites with a background I can see the background through where the .swf file should be. This includes opening locally saved files as well as every website with a .swf file that's supposed to play.

I do mean suddenly quite literally, as it was right in the middle of a browsing session. I changed nothing, just...one minute they were working fine, the next they completely halted. It's clear the program is recognizing that something's supposed to be there, as Adblock pops up a little "Block" tab over where the file should be, but again, that space is completely blank. It's not black, it's transparent.

I've completely uninstalled Shockwave and reinstalled it from scratch, and "updated" it three times now, all to no effect.

I am currently using the newest version of firefox (just updated, but the problem was there before) and I use Windows 8. I'm using these addons: Adblock, Evernote, Self destruckting cookies, Youtube unblocker. Only the adblock icon shows in my toolbar. I've tried disabling/enabling all the addons, nothing changed. The cookie app works, although the icon doesn't show, but the YT unblocker doesn't work at all (I should probably need to enable it via the icon setting) I use the same combination of add ons on my other laptop, but the problem doesnt occur there! (but it is using windows 7) I've tried using the costumization but my add ons aren't listed.

Found existing message that Firefox 53.2.0 is available for XP, but the download link on the page only offers v. 57. I'm trying to download on a Linux machine that is running v.40 which I will update, but still need the version for XP. The XP machine is airgapped so can't download directly.

A Firefox pop-up came on to a web page (weedcutters.co.uk) and told me that my installed version of firefox was out of date,then a red pop-up warning me saying get me out of here. This's the first it has happen.

Ever since I upgraded to Windows 10, my Firefox browser keeps crashing with the message Adobe Flash Player Plug In has crashed. I have and have reinstalled the latest versions of Firefox and Adobe Flash Player. The crashes are constant and are making it extremely difficult to use Firefox as my browser. Neither Adobe Flash Player nor Firefox seem to have a solution.

For the past several months, Firefox has been eating memory like crazy. Once I get more than 5 tabs open or have Firefox running for more than an hour or so, memory usage hits around one GB. If I keep letting it go beyond that, it'll hit 1.5-2 GB and it makes my whole desktop freeze up. I've taken to keeping Task Manager and every hour or so just kill Firefox and restart. That keeps it from crashing my whole desktop. It's definitely worse when I open Google products, especially Maps and Docs. GMail usually is OK.

I have tried disabling literally every Add-On and Extension (including Flash and Adblock).

I'm on Windows 7, I have 4 GB of RAM installed. I am on version 40.0 of Firefox, but this has been going on through a couple of updates now (I think the problem started around March or April). I also tried to back-rev Firefox and go to the last version I had before the problems started, but that didn't do anything either.

Chrome works fine on this machine without any similar problems -- but I prefer Firefox!

Hi,

I know you have all seen this question before but none of the answers I have found work for me. My site loads perfectly fine in other browser, just not Firefox.

I have a local website with a style sheet that is saved in the same folder:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />

I have defined the character sets in the HTML and CSS documents:

HTML = CSS = @charset "UTF-8";

I have both the latest updates for Chrome, IE and Firefox as of today.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I'm starting to frequently get "Secure Connection Failed" messages when attempting to access web sites. I even got it when trying to access goggle.com. Hard to imagine their security certification is out of date. I did a search in Support but did not see a clear, non-techie answer on how to fix this problem other than reverting to an earlier version of Firefox but do not understand how to do that. I would like to continue using Firefox but if this cannot be remedied I will be switching out of Firefox.

i turned on Firefox today and found out that it's showing a new session instead of my previous session. which happened right after the update. then after i finished using my PC for the day i chose the option to restore previous sessions instead of showing homepage(i don't have one) then i closed and re-opened Firefox. still showed me a new session.

and i also need to mention got one of those hijacker junkwares which seems like i caught before or after the update (i followed online instructions to remove it) but removing it did not solve this problem.

i'm not sure which one is the reason for the problem. so i would be grateful for any kind of help :)

I got a new computer with Windows 10 and installed Firefox 40.0.2. Even with this fresh install, I've been experiencing a very frustrating number of crashes.

I can consistently trigger a crash by trying to inspect an element or by trying to install Firebug.

To resolve the issue I have tried:

- making sure that Adobe Flash/Shockwave is disabled - disabling the NoScript add-on - opening Firefox with a new, fresh profile (even though I did not import a profile from my old Windows 7 machine so the profile should have already been pretty "fresh")

Here are my crash reports for the last 1/2 hour: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-cc02b456-7a7a-4386-b30f-014422150823 https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-c25dbcb8-489a-4870-9a85-626c22150823 https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-ce261672-72f5-484b-a3e4-0380c2150823 https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-085e4118-2160-4f8e-9f2d-43e402150823 https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-8cbef911-fb77-4c4f-b3a8-316d92150823

Firefox has long been my default browser but I'm worried I'll need to abandon it! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Firefox has just recently updated to 40.0.2. I came back from a week off of work to find out it has been printing incorrectly. On the printer is says to add 8X6.75 size paper to print. The settings in Firefox are set to 11X8.5 and all other browsers are printing fine.

How do I make Firefox launch automatically when I turn on my computer? At the moment it takes ages to start and I'd like to get going as soon as I turn on the machine. I am using Windows 10. Thanks in advance.

I don't know when this happened, but today I noticed that I cannot paste text into youtube comments on firefox. It still works just fine on Chrome. I tried to use an addon to copy plain text only, but that didn't help, nor have I ever needed it before.

Is this google's latest monopoly trick or something, or what is going on?
