I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Firefox downloads the update, "Installs", and after that it says that I need to restart the firefox. I restart firefox, but it says that the partial update was not applied, and will download the complete file in order to update. After that, it restarts, and says there were problems to perform the update.

When I try to perform a fresh install it says extracting and then the program disappears and does nothing.

Please help.

Hello,

I have been having constant problems with Firefox and Windows 8. What will happen is that Firefox will lock up my entire computer piece by piece until I am unable to interact with anything, after 1 - 2 minutes, the system will work again. Checking event logs shows nothing. The system does not crash but simply slows everything down until no movement is possible then it works. I honestly do not know how to fix this and any advice from anyone will be helpful. Below is a list of everything that I have done. It will happen with one tab or multiple tabs. It will happen on ANY site.

Specs: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit AMD FX 8120 CPU 16GB DDR3 1066 120GB SSD Boot Drive 6870 2GB Video Card

Completely reinstalled Windows. - One of the first applications (after drivers of course) was FF. Started happening almost immediately. Upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1 - No Change Disabled HW acceleration - No change Enabled HW acceleration - No Change Changed Flash to click to enable - No change Updated BIOS - No Change Updated video card drivers - No Change Set FF to run as admin - No Change Disabled C State in my CPU - No Change Ran FF in comparability mode - No Change Updated sequentially to other FF versions - No Change

This is pretty infuriating when I am trying to work. I love FF and although I am OK using IE, and have no issues there.

Please help!

I have two Firefox profiles. I completely wiped history, cache and cookies on on and now I see that my flash cookies are gone from the other profile (for example my Flash games progress). I know that it's not a big issue to loose some flash game progress, but this can be potentially harmful for other flash content.

is it possible to adjust the way the orange firefox menu behaves when you click an option? currently hovering over an option opens the list underneath it(such as a list of bookmarks for the bookmarks option, or a list of visited pages for the history option) and clicking it opens the first item in the list. i'd like to change this so the list is opened when you click an option too, since it's not possible to hover using a touchscreen. it's rather annoying when the bookmarks management screen opens if all i want to do is bookmark the current page(which isn't possible from that screen)

I'm an online student and want to continue to use Microsoft Word and other word 365 products with Firefox. How do I get to use them and still have Firefox? Whenever I submit an assignment online, it gives me options to save my documents however none of my choices are with Microsoft Word. Please help, I really need to use Word for my documents but still need Firefox to access my classes online.

I would like to use Star Download as my default download manager. I have it installed and I have checked that FF is integrated, but when I download a file/program, it is not activated. Do I need to deactivate some other DL manager?

Hi all, when i close Firefox and reopen it all of the tabs open in a different order. I have them set in a specific order and it annoys me that i have rearrange them each time I open Firefox. This has only been happening for the past week or so.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Hi there.

Since we've had the update from FireFox 24 to version 25 we have found a lot of problems with WordPress websites that we run.

When you go into the back-end and go to make ANY changes in FireFox 25 one of two things happen. 1. FireFox says Not responding and takes a long time to stop "Not Responding" or 2. It crashes and we have to start all over again.

We did not have any of these problems with FireFox 24.

Now on the other hand it could be the new version of WordPress itself 3.71 as this has also just been updated just recently.

The front end of the WordPress websites works just fine, it is just moving around in the back-end that is causing the problem.

If we change and use Chrome or (dare I type it IE10) we done seem to have the problem, but I like FireFox.

Has anybody out there got any thoughts or Ideas.

Kind regards John

Using windows 8.1. Have deleted findwide.com., reset to default settings, and uninstalled and re installed firefox. Still there.

I am using a new Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro laptop with a 3200 x 1800 display. Though in general the high-DPI scaling works to keep text sharp for most webpages (something that cannot be said for Chrome or Opera), Flash does not scale with the rest of the website. For example, when I watch a Youtube video, the text, objects, etc. scale appropriately, but the buttons for the flash player are very small.

Windows 8.1 Pro (x64), Skype is the latest version for desktop 6.10.0.104, Firefox is the latest version (of writing this question) - 25 Stable. When I click on link in Skype nothing happens! Firefox is set as default browser for all the supported file types. If I change the default browser to IE 11 and click on Skype link, the link opens in IE without a problem. Setting back defaults for Firefox doesn't help. I tried reinstalling both Firefox and Skype without success. Any ideas? It's very unpractical to copy every link and paste it.

www.postgresql.com - I get 'connection was reset' www.stackexchange.com - Page doesn't load properly

In Internet Explorer I get the same results In Chrome both pages load properly

I have tried clearing history/cache/cookies

On 64bit Windows 8.1

Firefox has stopped inserting my password since version 23 (only on this computer). When i'm trying to sign in, it inserts my login only, without a password. "Remember passwords for sites" option is enabled. Also I can see all of my password in the "Saved Passwords" window. I have another computer with Firefox (Firefox Sync enabled, same extensions and plugins, same settings), and it works fine there.

I am a web developer, and I have a page that is a middle tier interface for my site. It is not used on a daily basis, but it requires about 10 Drop Down Lists, that have about 1200 List Items Each.

The page loads very quickly and displays in firefox, then it becomes unresponsive for about 5 seconds. After that time you can work normally, but if it posts back and needs to render again, the same thing happens. I replicated on multiple PC's in version 25.0

Is this a known issue?

I recently have had this search engine (DO searches) appear instead of the regular Firefox page. It started after I uninstalled the AVG search engine which also appeared by itself.

was downloading add ons after install. KeePass would not cancel out from long form fill. I restarted the browser. Ghostry web page and disconnect appeared. Went to search for blog, about 10 min had passed, I noticed my bookmark bar was empty.

Returned to the add on menu. Only six add ons were functioning. Add to this lost it's restart icon. Everthing behind that had to be re-opened. Did that. Restarted the browser. Same dead bunched behind

Add to this. I am setting up my wife's pc. Brand new. It is a LenovoThinkCenter 92z, Windows 8 os.

Not much else. I am loving the 64 bit it runs fine on my Sony w/ Windows 7. ANd that is the way it will stay til end of life.
