I have updated Firefox to 8.0.1 but the main screen still says " You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!" What is the problem?
I downloaded Firefox Setup 8.0.1.exe from the website to my desktop and opened it as an administrator. The available choice (once opened) was to upgrade. When the process was complete my version of Firefox was identified as 8.0.1 but the main screen still said - "You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!"
This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained.
Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.

I have spotty signal at my home, so some functions don't work until I leave the house. I noticed on the main screen, it says I have 54 emails, but when I open the app, I only have 4. I powered down and back up. No fix. What gives?
Im having this same problem an my phone is about 3 weeks old. I am not sure about the voice over part though...I have not yet figured out how to work the voice recognition part of the phone...I am such a newbie with this phone. I did the power off/on suggestion, several times. I tried leaving it off for 10 minutes. Tried to reset with the power on/off and home button pressed at the same time. Charged battery. Still makes no difference. You cannot scroll any direction. Have to double click to open apps. Have to double click letters when texting or emailing in order to get the letter in the text box. Can scroll through app choices, have to click on the line with the dots in it and move from page to page. Can't access the settings - > general - > accessibility - because it won't allow me to scroll down to "general".
Anyone help you with your fix yet? -

Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
You can force Firefox to create a new default profile if you remove the profiles.ini file.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file
You can find that file here:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\
The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.

I tried to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox but on the Firefox start page it still says "you are not on the latest version of Firefox, upgrade now". The start page looks different so maybe it did upgrade but why does the reminder still show?
You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. It appears that page is no longer being maintained by Google. You appear to have the latest Firefox version.
'''If you want the Google search page as your home page,''' change your home page to '''''about:home''''' (a new, updated version of the old Google/Firefox home page is now built-in to Firefox).

How about extensions? Perhaps you have an adblock extension installed.

I have updated and installed Firefox, but it still says I am not on most recent version
Hi
Am experiencing slight issue on firefox. I downloaded and installed Firefox 8
When i open fireox it says i am not running most recent version. this happenend last upgrade too.
Any ideas?
Cheers1 - do not put your iPhoto library on the same volume as the time machine backup - TM continues to grow its backup until it fills that volume at which point you will not be able to use the iPhoto library (which may be your problem now) - and you have no backup since TM can not back up anyting that is on its backup volume - and it if cound when the drive fails which it will someday you would lose everything anyway - you must have a second external hard drive right away

The SiriusXM player does not work under latest version of Firefox. Is Mozilla aware of this?
When I installed the latest version of Firefox my SiriusXM player stopped working. SiriusXM Tech support says that their player will not work with the latest version of FireFox. Is Mozilla aware of this and will it be fixed in the future. I am also having the same problem with certain radio stations that stream their broadcasts.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles -
BBC Radio iPlayerwill not work with latest version of Firefox.
I have updated all necessary software (Flashplayer, etc.) and am forced to use Internet Explorer to listen to BBC Radio. Earlier versions of Firefox do not have this problem. I am not a computer programer, just a user. I have used Firefox for years and been able to listened to BBC Radio for years. I've read all the advice on various Firefox fora and not found anything useful in solving this problem. It seems to be a problem intrinsic to the latest version of Firefox itself. Will this problem be fixed in the near future? It seems to have been going on for the better part of a year in both the US and UK. If not, why not?
My expertise is in chemistry, not computers. I need a browser that works. I'd like that browser to be Firefox, but I don't have any more time to spend on trying to fix this problem. Using two different browsers is not working for me. Please fix this.Before I suggest you to revert back to Firefox 28.

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you. -
Why is Hotmail Calendar not working with latest version of Firefox
I was prompted to load the 'latest' version of Firefox this morning, which I duly did. Since then my Hotmail account has worked fine for send and receive but I cannot access my calendar. Screen simply says "loading...." and never actually loads.
I have shut my lap top down fully and rebooted but the situation remains the same.
I have 2 Hotmail accounts and this problem is the same for both. Please could you advise.erin238 wrote: ... Skype ... iSight will not recognize the camera...
iSight is the camera. I expect you mean that Skype will not recognize the camera.
(1) Did you restart Mac and try again?
(2) Did you use Disk Utility to repair permissions before and after installing Skype?
(3) Because Skype is your only problem app, have you checked Skype support such as
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10931/ and
https://support.skype.com/en-us/category/VIDEO/
There are Skype-specific tips there that may help you.
Do NOT add any drivers. All needed iSight driver software is included in your OS X 10.6.8
You can also search Skype's dedicated forum for Mac http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/bd-p/Mac
(4) Your first download or install may have been faulty. If you have not already done so, try downloading the latest Skype version again and reinstalling? Remember to repair permissions before and after the reinstall.

I Updated my wife's iPhone the other to the new operating system. It asked me first to use iCloud backup so I did. After the update was complete my wife can use wifi but when we try the 3G it says you are not connected to a cellular data service.
IT shows Bell as the provider but we seem to have lost something during this update.
can someone help me please.Check Settings>General>Cellular and make sure Cellular Data is set to On. If it is, try putting it in Airplane mode for 15 seconds, then turn Airplane mode off again. If it persists, give you carrier a call to confirm that it's properly activated with them and that your data plan is properly provisioned.
