I've loaded Firefox, I get led to everything other than how to use it. Why can't I just get a usable Web page?

I have uninstalled Firefox several times today. I attempted to reinstall and kept getting "update" pages that do not seem to lead to a Firefox browser. I've looked at the help pages and they lead to confusing but unhelpful sequences. I want to use Firefox to use bookmarks and to extend material that will be helpful to me as I pursue Web sites.
I'm not interested in complex and multilayered until I can get basic functions operating as I expect them to operate.
I started using Firefox 6 months ago and it worked fine. I liked it and it served me well. I recently updated to #37.0 and since then, I cannot get past the first page which instantly shifts to a page the give me options that are useless to me.
Shou0ld I drop some of the plug ins?

  • On the "old" Firefox I could copy a section of a web page and tranfer it elsewhere. The new Firefox has an edit option but it always greyed out and unusable. Why can't Icopy a part of a web page??

    I try to copy a UPS shipping tracking ID code so I can transfer it to the UPS tracking web site--but the edit option on the Firefox is always greyed out and will not respond when selected--doesn't work. Therefore I have to copy the code on a piece of paper and then go to the UPS web site and type in the code. It was a lot easier when I could copy the code and transfer it to the UPS page>

    That Edit menu in the Firefox menu button should have three icons (Cut, Copy, Paste) that are enabled if there is text selected or something is on the clipboard. The arrow at the right of the Edit item will open the Edit menu.
    Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.

  • I am unable to apply my downloaded update. When I try to apply it and restart firefox, it still says 'apply downloaded update now...'. Why can't I apply this update and what do I do about it?

    Checked out that link and everything seems to be in order on this machine at this time.
    I only have CC installed on this one machine, not even my secondary machine like is permitted. it seems odd that I'm asked to re-accept the Licence Agreement as often as I am. If I had to guess, it's almost every week, if not multiple times some weeks, that all the software will decide I should have to view the licence agreement.
    Edit: I've never had any noticeable "errors" activating or anything like that. I just get asked to do it quite frequently.
    This activation screen isn't too annoying (it involves clicking one single button), but like I stated earlier, if I'm trying to launch the software by double-clicking on a PSD, AI, PPROJ, AEP, etc... that file will fail to open.
    I feel like that's probably not really a bug, but it is frustrating, since I did launch the application with the intent to edit that specific file I tried to open.
    Again, something that you guys may consider working on.
    Another annoyance is that: agreeing to the licence agreement is a per-application task, so if I see that Licence Agreement dialogue window by opening Photoshop (for example), I know that every other piece of software I have in the suite (Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, Audition) will be showing me that screen on it's next launch. Probably deliberate for legal purposes that I can't just agree once for the whole suite, but heck, it would save me a lot of minor headaches if it was a unified agreement.

  • I was referred to this site because Internet Explorer would not allow me to navigate to web page. Therefore the tech-support staff sugested I try your site to get to the web page

    upon logging into this program open road x3 from the site realeflow.com. I get a msg "navigation to web page has been canceled" so I contacted the tech-support staff. They informed me that in the past this problem has occurred with internet explorer, so they referred your site to me, as a option to get into the web page from their site. I have never used your site to get into a web page before. So I do not exactly know how this works??????????

    In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".
    See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
    You can find the connection setting here: Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy
    Another possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that,.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
    See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls

  • I can't see the images on a web page, instead of them I get an interrogation.

    I can't see the images on a web page, instead of them I get an interrogation.This is only one page, and none of the browsers can view your images, and this happened after updating the operating system to Yosemite.

    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    "Develop" menu will appear in the Safari menu bar
    Enable Images.
    Make sure that"Disable Images" is not enabled.

    I don't know what else to say about this. It is a screen that comes up in its own window everytime I open Firefox

    How do I get rid of web pages I'm through viewing?

    Not sure exactly what you mean but while you are using Safari, just tap the X on the left side of the tab to close a it. Only the active tab shows the X. You have to tap on a tab to make it active or the foremost window.
    If you want to clear the history - Settings>Safari>Clear History.
    These are instructions for Safari in iOS 5. What version are you running?

  • When loading firefox i get an error message, "can't find ////jpsnotify.exe. now firefox loads but every time i go into anything else it appears. this started to happen when i downloaded a new verison of java.

    i downloaded a new version of Java and i then started getting "windows can't find c:\java\jre6\lib\deploy\jqs\ff\..\..\..\bin\jqsnotify.exe. now this only happens when loading firefox. it happens through out the use of firefox when loading other programs. any suggestions?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Try re-installing Java. See [[Using the Java plugin with Firefox]]
    A quick search for jqsnotify.exe on Google indicates that it is related to the Java quick start option.

  • Trying to load firefox and get warning that file can harm my pc

    I am having a problem loading firefox. I get a message that this type of file can harm my computer. I click save but still it does not download.

    To experiment more safely, could you create a new Firefox profile? The new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder. If we get your bookmarks into the new profile successfully, you can create a backup and restore it in your regular profile.
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
    firefox.exe -P
    Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
    Please do not delete anything in this dialog.
    Click the Create Profile button, choose a name like TESTING, and skip the option to choose a folder. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
    If you have backups in the JSON format (e.g., bookmarks-2014...json) try to restore one to this TESTING profile. This article has the steps (you will need to use Choose File... to get to the backup):
    [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    Does that work and give you complete results?
    If not, the next thing I would try is to drop in the places.sqlite file you have and see whether Firefox can read it properly.
    First, open up a Windows Explorer window to this new profile folder. You can do that using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button
    Got the list of files? Okay, leaving that window open, switch back over to Firefox and Exit the browser, using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * File menu > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup -- you will see the timestamps update in the profile folder, then rename '''places.sqlite''' to something like places.old and drop in the places.sqlite file you want to test.
    Start Firefox back up again. Bookmarks?
