Does FireFox work with Windows Vista?

Question is not about the machine I'm using right now - so I haven't opened the "troubleshooting" window. The question is regarding my wife's old Vaio laptop with Windows Vista OS. It browses very slowly. We may want to use FireFox and possibly speed browsing. Uses Chrome now and will want to migrate tabs and favorites (etc).
Is this possible and might it make the system a little faster?

Hi,
Seems like your slowness issues may caused by malware. Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br>
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br>
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

  • Better privecy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers?

    Question
    better privacy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers? edit
    Details

    As a temporary workaround, I believe this Adobe management page allows you to clear your "Flash cookies": [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel] (hosted on macromedia.com -- Macromedia was the original developer of Flash).
    Regarding the script error, if I'm reading the script correctly, it is related to accessing your Flash cookies directory. It seems the publisher's support forum is not currently available for searching, but that might be a good next step.
    In the meantime, could you check whether the script has the correct location for your Flash cookies directory? If you can't access Tool > BetterPrivacy, you could check here:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''bpr''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) There should be a bolded setting named '''extensions.bprivacy.DataDir''' which looks approximately like the following:
    C:\Users\''yourWindowsUsername''\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia
    Do you have a similar value? If you paste the path used by BetterPrivacy into a Windows Explorer window, does it open? Also, click a couple levels in the folder, can you see:
    Flash Player \ #SharedObjects
    If the value is wrong, right-click the wrong value and choose Reset. BetterPrivacy should update the value the next time you try to access it.
    If the value is blank, you could try inserting a sensible value and see whether that helps.
    Any luck?

  • ITunes does not work with Windows VISTA

    If you are planning on installing Windows VISTA than do not expect your iTunes to work. It will mark all our downloads as being unauthorized to play on the Windows VISTA computer. If you try to download some new songs you will get an error. I am working with version 7.0.2 - the newest version at this time. So, beware - do not expect iTunes to work with Windows VISTA.

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Fn keys does not work with Windows Vista

    Hello,
    I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a retail license for Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit (with SP1) installed on it.
    Before installing Vista, I upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version available on the Toshiba site ([http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT]).
    BIOS version is now 2.20-WIN32 contained in this file: [http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20080404121735.zip]
    After the successful installation of the operating system, I installed the "Value Added Package" ([http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/vap-20080109135106.zip]) which contains the "Flash Cards Utility". In my understanding, the installation of the "Value Added Package" should enable the Fn keys usage.
    This doesn't seem to be true or not completely true.
    Here is what happens.
    - Before the installation of the "Value Added Package" all the Fn keys didn't work.
    - After the installation of the "Value Added Package", if the TCrdMain.exe process is running, all the Fn keys don't work.
    - If I remove the TCrdMain.exe from the startup and I reboot the PC, only some Fn keys work (Fn+ESC, Fn+F1).
    There is no way (or I didn't find a way) to make all the Fn keys working.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
    Thanx in advance,
    mme000

    I do not know for sure but it can be because of SP1. I have installed Vista Ultimate on A200 and all listed stuff (drivers, tools and utilities) from Toshiba support page.
    Does your installations Vista DVD contains SP1 or you have installed it on your own? If you install Vista Ultimate (without SP1) and all stuff from Toshiba support site following Installations Instructions order.

  • Wow...Iphone does not work with Windows Vista 64 bit

    Preamble: Please spare me the bitchy comments about my being an idiot for using a PC. I give Steve plenty of money with 4 purchased Ipods, accesories, and a behemoth Itunes account. PC is fine for me and I like to spread the love.
    Sooo, here it is...
    Incredible, and I can't believe the media has not caught onto this yet as this problem must be the biggest complaint to date. Apple support has confirmed that they are now (after getting thousands of calls this weekend) realizing that even they were caught off guard in the iphone not being compatible with Vista 64bit. As the majority (from what I have seen - with the exception of cheaper line Dells)of PC's shipping over the past few months have the 64 bit version installed this may be a huge blunder on Apple's part. I purchased two phones and spent the weekend uninstalling and reinstalling itunes (per the error message and the instructions of support) before it was realized by Sunday that it doesn't work. Updates? The one person at apple support told me it could be weeks. Back to the store for a return and an argument over the 10% restocking fee.

    Actually OS X has a larger population of users (over
    Vista but not WinXP) if you look at
    licensed/registered accounts. Various browser sites
    that log OS type hits would also bare out this
    information. Not many folks have adopted Vista over
    WinXP, and even fewer have installed 64bit version of
    Vista due to lack of driver support and compatibility
    with existing Windows based applications/games.
    Having said that, get a Mac and install Boot Camp to
    run WinXP or Vista and also get fully integrated
    iPhone support with your Mac.
    Look up the actual sales numbers for Vista, think
    you'll be surprised -- your actually the minority not
    the majority.
    Vista sales are well below expectation -- Microsoft's
    stock is taking a beating while Apple's stock is
    taking off. But to solve your issues, I suggest you
    run the Windows version of iPhone software in 32bit
    compatibility mode -- this should solve it.
    Rob.
    To say that there are more OS X users than Vista is false. That's what you believe and want everyone else to believe.
    I agree it has problems but like the iPhone they will be addressed.

  • Does Lightroom 4 work with Windows Vista?

    Hi, I can't find Vista mentioned anywhere in association with Lightroom 4. Before I purchase this software, could someone please tell me if I will have compatability issues between LR4 and Vista. Thank you

    When LR4 was announced, they said it worked with Windows Vista with Service Pack 2. See: http://thelightroomlab.com/2012/03/adobe-photoshop-lightroom-4-now-available/
    Since then, Adobe has un-helpfully removed that from its website, and now the website says you need Windows 7. see: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom/tech-specs.html
    Nevertheless, I believe that there are many people in this forum using LR4 with Windows Vista. Perhaps one of them will speak up.

  • Will the Linksys WRT160N work with windows vista at all?

    Will the Linksys WRT160N work with windows vista at all? 
    Some one please clear this up for me, it could be answered in the simplestterms from the English Language of course.
    I've recently purchased the Linksys WRT160N however after purchase "of course"I manage to find reviews stating that the router will not work with the WindowsVista Premium, or windows Vista for that matter.
    E.g.(Comments like These 'which are not my own')----------
    "When I tried it with a new computer running Vista 64, it would install but the Linksys System Advisor would not. After 1 chat and 4 phone calls with support the system will still not run." 
     "It is a good product with XP, but if you use Vista 64 good luck. After several hours of working to get it running my patience and options have run out."
     "It has taken almost a week for us to figure out that the Linksys Router, WRT160N from Best Buy does not workwith Vista Premium. I looked on-line to Linksys Website and discovered that the router, WRT160N is notsupported for Vista users. .." 
    E.g. (CommentContradicting to what has been said above)------
    "Bought this to replace my outdated Linksys (new Vista laptop) and was blown away. Thisthing practically set itself up. It replaced the wired router and wireless routers I was using, asthe signal strength is awesome. I'm still pulling over 5meg ... "
    So I guess one could see why I am confused, based on the 2 sidedcontradictions pertaining to this router actually working with windows vista ornot.
    So can someone respond (preferable a Vista User) and tell me the truth as of towhat this router can an cannot do in terms of Vista? Thanks 

    It should work with vista without any issues if you are running any software on the computers (64 bit) from linksys it may not work but if you will connect that computer with an ethernet to the router it should work fine.
