Looks like there is a key that isn't getting deleted when an account is deleted. I thought I had resolved the error message problem by removing my wife's account from my Thunderbird instance. Haven't seen it since the above post. Just got it again:
Bad key or directory name: "/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/GMT+01/command": `+' is an invalid character in key/directory names
Bad key or directory name: "/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/GMT+01/command": `+' is an invalid character in key/directory names
Weird.

I've installed 3.6.3 and am continually getting "Bad Request (Invalid Verb)" on web sites. I refresh and click again, and it usually works fine the second time - however, of course, this is getting quite annoying...

I keep getting this error message: Unable to add an item to the current keychain. An invalid value was detected

I'm trying to add a WHM log-in to my Keychain. I keep getting this error message. It's a nasty password and I go there frequently, so having Keychain auto-fill would be really nice.

Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever version of Firefox for Win98 / SE / ME.
You can get it from here, but you are better off using K-Meleon (derived from Firefox) or Opera instead an old version of Firefox:
[ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/win32/en-US/]
You can try KernelEx to get Firefox 3+ to work, but it would be very slow with an old PC of less than 750Mhz. 3.5 and later supposedly doesn't work.

I keep getting an "untrusted connection" warning for nearly every url including my banks and have to go through the "confirm exception" etc steps. How can I keep having to go through this?????

I keep getting the untrusted connection warning and have to go thru all these freaking steps to get access and it happens OVER and OVER again for the EXACT same sites. One example is below citibank.com. MY BANK. EVERY TIME.
== URL of affected sites ==

Hi there, I was getting the same type problems whenever connecting to a secure site. The problem was caused by my PC's clock. I had manually set the date back a few years to test an app that I was developing. As soon as I corrected the time, all connections were OK again.

I had a HD crash and rebuilt system. Trying to setup sync and keep getting wrong key on verify even though it is the one I have always used. I have an account but cannot verify or create new one. Why does this have to be so damn difficult?

Had a main system drive go out. Replaced and reloaded and now trying to get firefox sync to work and when I put in login info and my key it says wrong key but I do not have any other key and have used this key for years.
Can someone help me fix this without having to recreate a whole new account?

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

I keep getting this message "Could not load Desktop

Why do i keep getting a 2nd shortcut on my desktop for Mozilla-Firefox. I keep deleting the 2nd icon and it keeps coming back.

I started getting a 2nd shortcut icon on my desktop for Mozilla Firefox. Every time I delete this 2nd icon, it comes back and I don't know why.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

I'm trying to download and run Firefox but keep getting an "error creating directory" message. C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\res\dtd What do I need to do to fix this?

It shows under the message, the following:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\res\dtd
What do I need to do to fix this?

* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* 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 (not in the Firefox program 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.

My internet is on and I keep getting an alert window popping up saying the URL is not valid and can not be loaded?

I don't know what more details I can give you except for what I indicated. I am online and a window will pop up indicating the URL is not valid and can not be loaded. Make it stop! That's all! Furthermore you should not limit people on the length of their question. How can they explain it ?

Thats the annoying part! I have enough space and I'm putting things on a external hard drive and I keep deleting it off the computer.

Like someone else, I keep getting a pop-up message that says "api.del.icio.us:443 USPS uses an invalid security certificate"; However the pop up is so persistent I cannot use Firefox at all, I am posting this from Safari.

I have tried clicking on "cancel" or "details" and nothing will dismiss the message.

I'm having this problem too. Tried the above link and thinking that sounded pretty straight forward, unfortunately this message was displayed:

Any help, please?!

I keep getting wrong sync key..have triple chekced and it is right..running evo 4G 2.2 froyo

just installed firefox for my mobile ...installed on my pc, and tryd to set up but keep getting sync key wrong everytime i input it into my mobile device...i have triple checked and it is rite...help please

I got it to work finally - just use a new, system generated sync key/passphrase (same thing).
No matter how long or complex a sync key that I tried to come up with; it simply wouldn't work. Once I used the system generated one - bang, it worked on all four devices.
Goes without saying, that I'd back your stuff up first .....

I keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get it when I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon.

I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:
