Downloaded firefox version 10.0 and it does nt open well on my mac book 10.5.8. I want to revert to how things were before firefox invited em to upgrade

As I the question says, things were fine before I recently upgraded firefox as instructed. Now I want to return to a firefox that works better on my older macbook that is running mac os 10.5.8
Please can you help, it crashes eveytime I activate firefox, saying something like, there is a problem with the provider. it really goes slow and does not like it. I usually force quit and start again and it works, but this is unsatisfactory.
Thanks jamie

The problem is likely [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711564 bug 711564] which is related to the Flip4Mac WMV Plugin (to be fixed in Firefox 11). You can disable the Flip4Mac plugin in your Firefox Add-ons Manager, to see if that resolves the problem. Otherwise, you can remove Firefox 10 and revert back to Firefox 3.6.xxx until Firefox 11 is released, which should be in around 6 weeks.
* Firefox 3.6.xx: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
If you are adventurous, you could try Firefox 11 Beta now:

  • ICal icon on my Mac Book Air displays a circled number at the upper right corner as does Mail for new emails - how do I find out what item(s) that number is referring to? And why does it show up on the Mac Book Air and not my 4S iPhone?

    A circled number appears in the upper right corner of the iCal icon on my Mac Book Air. What does it mean? How do I resolve it? Why doesn't it appear on my 4S iPhone via the iCloud?

    Glenn,
    That number means that you have an event invitation. Use iCal>View>Show Notifications to choose what to do with the notification. Since OS X 10.7.2 is required for iCloud integration, I am not surprised that there are anomalies between the iPhone and the MacBook Pro.

  • Scared to download new version "Yosemite" I heard it does not work well on older versions like 10.7.5

    I am worried about downloading the latest version of yosemite on my macbook pro "10.7.5" for the reason that downloading the latest version for iphones actually killed my phone.
    IT would not turn off anymore and the battery died in about 3 hrs even without use.
    My friend did it and said he is unable to use iphoto anymore from his computer and other things are not functioning as well.
    Any help on this.?
    Would it make a difference if i took my computer to an Apple store to have them do that for me.?
    Since the new downloads on my phone ""which is useless now"" i am sooo upset at them for not caring about the amount of money it cost me for their wrongful versions.
    I can't afford to lose my computer as well as the phone just for new versions?.

    As long as you don't have any carpware on your Mac such a so called "cleanup" software, AV software, memory cleanup apps or the like, you should not have any problems at all.
    If you are that concerned with Yosemite then I would suggest that you create a partition and install and test Yosemite on the partition.
    Once you have tested in its own partition when you find that are no problems then you can move it to your production partition.
    Since I am a member of the beta test team, I always run the beta code in its own partition. When I am going to do some testing I reboot to the partition with the beta code and test over there.

  • Downloaded latest version of Itunes and now it wont open

    I was running Itunes this morning when I was prompted to update to the new version, I went along with it and now when I try to open Itunes the computer loads for a moment, and then the program fails to launch.
    w.t.f.? help!

    I tried all day long and here is my solution:
    Remove itunes and quicktime from your comp.
    Delete all itunes entries, files and folders which means:
    Delete all entries in the registry: open regedit and search for itunes and delete the entries. I did the same for quicktime (but only programm entries, NOT extentions etc.)
    Search for itunes folders and files in windows explorer and delete them.
    Finally restart computer, install itunes again.
    I did it and finally my itunes works again!
    Best regards,

  • Itunes says locked disk and I can not open? I have mac book pro... what is up?

    when I click on the itunes icon on my sidebar--- says itunes is on a locked disk or I do not have write permissions for this folder.... what is up with this? 

    Try doing a click-and-hold on the Time Machine icon in the Dock, then select "Browse Other Time Machine Disks".

  • My Firefox version is up to date, I restored Firefox to default settings, restarted, I downloaded latest version of Flash and it will not run, it crashes..

    Mac, OSX 10.6.8 (up to date), Firefox 28.0 (up to date). Adobe Flash was downloaded and no videos will run on any web pages using Firefox. I reset Firefox to default settings and restarted. I get the message that Adobe Flash has crashed. Shut computer down, rebooted. Same thing. Uninstalled Flash and the videos run but very choppy, jumping in 5 second increments after freezing. Firefox freezes and has to be force quit. Installed an older version of Flash and it will run, but I get a warning that it is vulnerable. I have gone through this several times and checked all my updates and they are the latest available. Videos do not run on the latest version of Safari either.

    Downgrade to FlashPlayer 12.
    I will add a link to a related post later. Flash 13 causes problems, and is a known issue with some older MAC s.

  • I am running a TRIAL VERSION of Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended and Bridge does not open.  Help?

    I am running a TRIAL VERSION of Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended on MAC and Bridge does not open.  It did open when I first downloaded it - but now a black question mark is over the BR icon and it does not open up.  Any ideas from anyone? 

    Hi Steve -
    I just thought it was interesting and helpful to me to learn that the icon for Bridge does not appear anywhere.  Not in Application Folder.  Not in the Finders Directory Files.  I see your point - if I could locate that icon - I'd be set by dragging it onto my DOCK and launching it from there. 
    So - I'm assuming I need to uninstall CS6.   Please list all the steps for me to uninstall so that I don't miss any CS6 files. 
    When I search in FINDER for CS6 uninstall- I see two icons -  red adobe "UNINSTALL ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS6" (both files are identical)  Under KIND they both say Alias - with two different dates they were last opened (in November - few minutes apart).  Is that what I use to uninstall completely all the files related to PS CS6 Extended as well as Bridge? 
    Do I need to DEACTIVATE ANYTHING ANYWHERE? 
    DOES ANYTHING NEED TO GO INTO TRASH. 
    I just want to make sure 'everything' related to CS6 Extended is off my computer and out of all the files.  In the event i want to re-install - naturally I don't want to run into any conflicting 'issues'.
    Do you think if I reinstall I will run into this same problem again (BR not launching)?  Is there anything I can do to prevent it?  I note on the forums - going a few years back - that there have been a lot of issues related to this same problem - even in other versions of the Creative Suite.  Is Adobe doing anything to rectify this problem for us Photoshop CS Suite lovers or is all their focus just going into CC? 
    Thank you so much for trying to help me resolve this issue.  It is very frustrating to have an Adobe product that is not completely functional.  Especially when the Creative Suites are so expensive.  I appreciate all the time you've put into this issue.

  • We are using SAP SRM to punch out external catalogs. Firefox version 3.5 and below works fine and the items from the catalogs are brought back to SRM .But when we use version 3.6.12 the items are not getting transferred back to SRM from the Catalogs.

    SRM is a procurement system from SAP which we use to purchase goods and service. We have external catalogs like officemax, cdw etc which we punchout the items and bring it to SRM for ordering.
    When we use firefox version 3.5 and below the items which we add from the Catalogs are correctly brought back to SRM for us to order. But when we use versions 3.6.12 the items are not brought back to SRM.
    Internet Explorer 7 and 8 works fine. Is there anyway you can help us.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Firstly I would suggest you to upgrade your database from Oracle Release 11.2.0.1.0 to Oracle Release 11.2.0.2 . This is the recommended Oracle 11g database version  for SAP solutions. Many of your problem will get resolved with it.
    Question 1:
    So my first question would be is there any other suggestions besides adjusting the mentioned parameter above in order to ensure that no work processors going into hang state due to RFCs' occupying it as this issue always happens at the end of the month only when there are massive users accessing it.
    For immediate resolution the approach you have followed is correct viz limiting number of dialog processes for RFC. Secondly you need to analyze why RFC processing takes so much time. You need check which programs are getting executed by those RFC.
    Generate EarlyWatch report for more detailed view
    Question 2:
    My second question is what went wrong with the libttsh11.so file. How could it be 0 size in PRD when no signs of changes had happen to the PRD system. Is this a proven Oracle Bug or something else since I have never encountered anything like this before.
    The libttsh11.so library cannot be found in the related directory.
    Cause
    The file system is mounted using CIO option, but per Note 257338.1 Direct I/O (DIO) and Concurrent I/O (CIO) on AIX 5L, an ORACLE_HOME on a filesystem mounted with "cio" option is not supported.
    Such a configuration will cause, installation, relinking and other unexpected problems.
    Solution
    Disable the CIO option on the filesystem.
    References
    NOTE:257338.1 - Direct I/O (DIO) and Concurrent I/O (CIO) on AIX 5L
    Hope this helps.
