Running Firefox 8.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.7.2 & can't print preview of web pages.

I have a MAC desktop running OS 10.7.2 and Firefox 8.0.1. and can't print preview of web pages. On my PC, it's there just fine. (Firefox 8.0 on Windows XP). What can be done to get print preview of web pages for the Mac? Thanks. C Baher

Firefox 4 versions and later '''do not run on a PowerPC Mac''' and require at least OS X 10.5 and '''an Intel Mac'''.

The latest version for your ppc mac is 3.6.27 you can download from here:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/3.6/system-requirements/ Firefox 3.6 System Requirements]
1. Download a new copy of the Firefox program(3.6.27) from the above link
2. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install.
3. Install the new version that you have downloaded(3.6.27).
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

I have OSX 10.6.7 and Firefox 4 and I can't print from a web page to an HP Photosmart C5200

on a Macbook Pro

I found a thread about the HP Print & Scan Doctor software tool. I downloaded and ran it. It detected a conflict with the D2680 driver / software, so I uninstalled the driver / software. I then reran the software install, and now everything works fine.

Very weird day in Firefoxland
First on a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11 I respond to an invitation to upgrade to Firefox 4 (like a lot of others). Long story short, I wind up losing the browser altogether -- including all bookmarks. Why? Because neither the Firefox homepage (or CNET downloads) makes it clear that 4.0 is for OS 10.5 only! Amazing!
Then I try to register to post a reply in a thread that crits Firefox for not making this System Requirements info upfront clear. But the Register page I’m taken to (https://support.mozilla.com/bs/users/register) is in SERBO-CROATIAN!!
Then I try to log into Chat a couple of times and when it’s not CLOSED its a long line waiting and THEN it closes.
WOW!! Are the wheels off the wagon here or what!?!

You need to use the command line switch -safe-mode in the Terminal to start Firefox 3.6 versions in Safe Mode.

The last Firefox version that runs on Mac OS X 10.4 is Firefox 3.6.28.
For an unofficial Firefox 17.0.5 ESR compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

After updating to Firefox 4.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.4 there is no longer an "Bookmarks Organize Bookmarks" option. Did it move?

I updated to Firefox 4.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.4. When I go to the "Bookmarks" drop down menu, there is no "Organize Bookmarks" command. How do I do the operations that were under that command such as add new folders, move bookmarks, export bookmarks, etc.?

"Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu.

Firefox 3.6.28 on Mac OSX 10.4.11 crashes at every attempt to load Huffington Post

Firefox 3.6.28 on Mac OSX 10.4.11 crashes a few seconds into trying to load Huffington Post - no problems anywhere else on the net. Cannot afford new computer with current software. Can I make it work with what I have? Thanks for the info.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Cmd+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
If you open about:crashes, you should get links to online crash reports. You could post some of the crash IDs for review by volunteers here.
Given the timing, another issue might be some ads or media in the page. There are some add-ons to block such things...

Question: Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions! If so what would you recommend? Was looking at Sophos. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks

Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions!
You will continue to hear different opinions here, where thoughts range everywhere between "anti-virus software is the evil spawn of Satan" to "anyone not running anti-virus software is a fool."
Truth is, this is still a very personal decision on a Mac. Depending on circumstances, it is still very easily possible to stay safe without using anti-virus software, but circumstances and personal preferences vary widely. Besides which, anti-virus software cannot even remotely provide you a guarantee of protection!
To learn how to stay safe (with or without anti-virus software), and how to decide whether to use anti-virus software, see my Mac Malware Guide.

Cannot read mails in hotmail with firefox 15.0.1 on mac osx 10.6.8

I'm using firefox 15.0.1 on mac osx 10.6.8. I can log in hotmail, but cannot open or read any mails.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Elements 4 crashing immediately after install on mac OSX 10.4.11, can anyone help ?

I have an infuriating problem with Elements 4 crashing immediately after an install on mac OSX 10.4.11, can anyone help ?
I was given the computer, which still had Elements 4 on it although it always crashed on opening, i removed the program and bought a 2nd hand hard copy of Elements 4 from eBay.
When i install the new copy it opens up with the "credits" but at the bottom right it still shows the past owners name as licensee briefly, then crashes before fully opening.
Does anyone know what is going on? I know it's an old version but i find elements4 perfect for my needs
Thankyou for reading.
Simon

More information needed. Are you saying you're just running the computer from the PO's user account? I would very strongly recommend erasing the disk and starting over with a fresh install of OS X for a number of reasons.

I accidently uninstalled safari on my mac osx 10.6, how can i get it back reinstalled

i accidently uninstalled safari on my mac osx 10.6, how can i get it back reinstalled

you can download it here:
http://support.apple.com/de_DE/downloads/#safari%20for%20Snow%20Leopard
or any Apple support downloads page, look for Safari 5.1.5
NB: I suggest you also update SL with the Combo update to 10.6.8 (if you did not update it already).

I have apple macbok"core2duo" 2.4 13'black,08 mac osx 10.5.8
can i upgrade to mountainline software?

First you must upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Then you can download Mavericks, if your computer is compatible, or Lion if it is not. See below:
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

How do I get Firefox to print the entire web page instead of truncating when it gets to end of first print page?

Firefox 3.6.8, Windows XP Pro
Frequently when I try to do a print of a web page, I end up printing only whatever fits on the first printed page. Instead of continuing to later pages as needed, the rest of the displayed web page is simply ignored.

See Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page"
