FIREFOX 8.O KEEPS LOCKING UP, I AM RUNNING WINDOWS XP, WHAT IS LATEST COMPATIBLE VERSION

thanks for making this as painless as possible. Since i upgraded to 8.0, firefox has been locking up REGULARLY. I am wondering if there is a compatibility issue with Windows XP, and if so, what the latest version intended for use with XP is, and how to get it.

I'm running Windows 7 and I have the same problem. There is a solution: Just look for Version 5.01 and stick with it. No more lockups, no more sloooooow bootups. Looks to me like the Mozilla guys just want to crank out new versions and use us as testers.

    My ipod keeps locking and unlocking on its own! What should I do?

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod

  • Firefox 4.0 keeps locking up and is slow to load pages

    I just installed 4.0 this morning. Ever since, Hotmail is extremely slow to load, it keeps locking up or not responding.
    I thought this was supposed to be faster and more streamlined?
    Now, when I try to go back and install 3.6.13 it is no longer available. What gives? I want my old Firefox back.

  • My computer with Windows 7 Home updated to Firefox v34.0.5 but my two computers running Windows 7 Pro haven't yet updated beyond Firefox v34.0. Something wrong?

    See info above. I have re-run the update process at least 10 times on both machines running Windows 7 Pro (most recently this morning), and each time both machines running Windows 7 Pro (one is 64-bit, one is 32-bit) say that Firefox v34.0 is "up to date". I checked Mozilla.org, which states that Firefox v34.0.5 was released in mid-December, but it didn't say anything about whether that update was only for certain OSs. I have also run multiple anti-virus scans from different providers on both machines running Windows 7 Pro, and all scans indicate no issues.
    Please advise is there are different versions of Firefox for Windows 7 Home/Pro, or if I am having an issue. If I am having an issue, please advise how I can correct it.

    Hello StevenBeary, the 34.0.5 release it is for all users who download a fresh version of Firefox, or download it for the first time. This release will NOT be found via Firefox's update.
    Firefox 34, it is the latest release via update. You are OK.

    Firefox 3.6.24 is the last available from Mozilla for PPC Macs. <br />
    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

  • Firefox 1.5 keeps locking up

    I installed the latest release of Firefox 1.5. Now, when ever I go to a website that has a search entry, I start to type in the text area, the other previous searches that match my search text popup under it, then I get the multi color busy cursor. I have to force quit EVERYTIME. Any ideas on how I can get an older version of Firefox? I know I should have kept the old one, but who whoud have guessed?
    I've seen the problem on the Ebay site, when I try to search for an item. Also on the Apple discussions page when I try to seach for a topic. I haven't tried it everwhere, but these two sites should work.
    Anyone else have this problem?
    Thanks,

    Hi Alfredo,
    here is a link about the 1.0.4 7 its vulnerabilities

    It does not seem wise to use 1.0.4 version, but not sure , nor could i find it that v.specifically.I ended up removing it & sticking with Safari with debug
    set.
    good luck.

  • I hate Firefox 4! My favorite add on doesn't work, it is slow and locks up. I run Windows 7. Can I uninstall 4 and go back to the old version? If so, how?

    As a former programmer, I am dismayed that such a poor version would be released! It reminds me of dealing with Windows 98!

    I don't understand WHY they would pull support for the older version v3.6.16 when it is obvious that so many people want to go back to that version. The new version is TERRIBLE!! I am having problems with it and reading thru these posts so are a lot of people.
    I urge you NOT to pull support until you come up with a better version than this one. I plan to go back to the older version and if you pull support I will go back to internet explorer before I go to this new version of firefox. I have used firefox for years and recommended it to a lot of people but I am very disappointed in this version.

  • I set the prefferance to show tabs and windows from last session but every time i power down my firefox or my Mac all my app tabs and windows disapear. what's wrong with my settings.

    I set my preferences to '''show all tabs and windows from last session''' and un-checked the box for '''don't load tabs until selected''' but every time I turn off fire fox and power down my Mac all my app tabs disappear.

    Make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the <i>Browsing History</i> when you close Firefox.

  • I have Firefox 7.0.1 install on my laptop running Windows Vista. When visiting some website, the program automatically default to a mobile version of the website rather than the full website. How can I stop this from happening?

    No additional information is available

    Changing versions often does not cure problems, but it does increase risks.
    * ( Do Not ) [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
    The search options will not be changed by downgrading, but there is a method of changing that without downgrading.
    * See Ed's [/questions/1044599#answer-685295]
    I am not sure the changes in Firefox 35.0.1 would cause your audio issues
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/35.0.1/releasenotes/
    The first step in troubleshooting that may be to identify the tab or page involved, then try Firefox with only the newtab page and the problem page open.
    IIRC Firefox is intended to continue streaming audio even if a tab does not have focus. That enables users to stream audio in the background whilst browsing. What you hear may be intended behaviour.

  • New FireFox 29 upgrade keeps experiencing " Firefox is alreay running" errors.

    I'm running Windows 8.1 and was using Firefox seamlessly. Since the upgrade to Firefox 29, it keeps experiencing " Firefox is already running" errors. I then have to end it in task manager to launch it. I've deleted the parent.lock several times with no luck. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox several times with no luck. I'm using Windows firewall and Avast Antivirus. I even uninstalled Avast temporarily, in case it was causing problems, no change. I have Firefox on my daughter computer and it's been upgraded to Firefox 29 as well. Her computer is running Windows 7 and experiencing no problems. Please help, I've resorted to using IE11. I don't like chrome, opera, etc and want to return to Firefox.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
    Thank you.

  • My non intel Mac runs OS10.5.6 but won't run Firefox 4.0, will I be able to run it at a later date or is my G5 ready for the graveyard?

    Latest update says it won't run on my Mac (see question above) and current latest compatible version (3.6.17) will have full tech support for only a limited time now. Is there anything I can do to bring my Mac up to spec. Is it really a dinosaur already? Will I be able to run FF4.0 (or later) at a later dater date?
    Any answers appreciated, thanks... B

  • Firefox keeps locking/freezing up

    FireFox 4.0.1 keeps locking up on all web pages: CNN,BBC,NYT,Washington Post,LA Times C-Net, hulu plus many more to mention.
    I have tried disabling some or all of the add ons/plug ins
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled it no fix.
    Checked and updated all plug ins add ons adobe flash ect….
    No fix. After it locks up I have to force quit then I get this:
    Well, this is embarrassing.
    Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
    With listed web pages that were open at the time with
    Start new session / restore

    The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
    You can try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 255 to a more modest setting like 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.
