What is the best version of Firefox to be running at this time to get the best usage?

When I started using Firefox I updated as the updates came out and then I noticed that problems would come up saying this or that will only run with this or that version. So, to get the best usage of firefox, which is the most universal version that is being used at this time.

3.6.x is the last version for 10.5.8.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    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 and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • I have Firefox on pc and have installed the us version by mistake ob my android. How can I get the uk version installed

    I want to uninstall the US version of Firefox and install the UK version on my android device. How do I do this?

    Hi,
    Currently we don't have a UK version of Firefox for Android. If you swipe left and tap the gear button at the bottom, then tap the Language item in your Preferences, you'll see the available languages.
    Thanks,

  • I've just bought a second hand iMac G4 (w/OS 10.5) for my kids and would like to use Firefox, preferably in the Dutch language. Were can I find and download a (NL) version of Firefox that will run on this Mac? Best regards, Jan B. Bussemaker

    Bij voorbaat dank!

    For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4 / 5 / 6, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ <br />
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/downloads/list
    Or use Firefox 3.6.x, which is the last version from Mozilla. <br />

  • My game posts for facebook have stopped posting since i upgraded to the newest version of firefox, how do i fix this

    I have tried clearing my cache but this hasnt made any difference. I haven't made any changes to my settings. The posts simply dont appear on my timeline or in my activity log. A few of my friends had the same problem and have had to downgrade to an older version of firefox but I am reluctant to do this. Any suggestions as to how I can resolve this problem?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''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 [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the 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 other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • I understand the design change to the whole "save as app" tab, but I feel that Save and Quit feature from the previous version of Firefox is much better than this "app tab" feature. Is there anyway for me to have this back?

    Restore previous session button available on my Firefox homepage is great, but what I really want is the Save and Quit feature. I have always felt that its one of the best features of Firefox, second only to search address bar directly leading me to the actual page. I read some threads about this, and found the answers very unconvincing. One of the suggested ones was "Pin as app tab" . No, I don't want to pin every tab that I want to visit say, thrice as an app. Second suggestion was, click on the obvious button on the homepage to restore the tabs(this took me quite a while to actually see). Why this change in design? This is identical to Chrome's but its very inferior to what Firefox already had. Is there anyway, without downgrading of course, I can get that feature back?

    Okay, I found the answer myself. Going to about:config and setting browser.showQuitWarning to true, restored that option and brought it back. Thanks to anyone who is about to post. If this is false by default, it has got to change.

  • I am trying to upgrade to the layest version of firefox on my Mac laptop. When I drag the Icon to the App Folder , I get a message that says I do not have permissions for certain items and will not let me install. I am logged on as a administrator.

    * Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded.
    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 and other personal data.

  • Trying to install the latest version of iTunes and when it is being installed I get the message "There is a problem with this installer package. A program quired for this install could not be run. Contact your support personel or package vendor."

    I am trying to install the latest version of itunes and when the install begins I get the message "There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program required for this install could not be opened. contact your support personnel or product vendor". I ran a troubleshooting diagnostic on my computer and nothing flagged as a problem. I uninstalled iTunes and tried again and now I don't have any way to sync my ipod touch. Please help with any suggestions!!!

    Just in case, let's try a standalone AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi install.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi to do a standalone ASU install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If not, what error message do you get? (Precise text, please.)

  • I have iMovie 10.0.1.  I used to be able to adjust all fonts, color, even make nice transitions to the in/out of the fonts.  Now, with the latest version, I can't do any of this.  Also -for the audio, I used to be able to add tracks, adjust voume, etc.

    What happened the ice features of the previous iMovie  -  I have verson10.0.1 and have lost all the abilty to crete nice titles (most of the fonts are not even adjustable,- and when Ii have the title created, I ca't adust the fade in/out of the titles.  Same with the audio.  I used to be able to add audio on different tracks, and the adjustments of the volume was easy.  Now, it's practically impissible to adjust the volumes to a nice level.    I have never seen Apple create an upgrade which turns out to a serious down-grade from the existing version.    I wonder if versioin 11 fixes all these bugs.  Any one have any ideas.

    Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
    If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
    Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
    You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way.

  • I cannot get the Nov. version of a web site, which changes monthly.I keep getting the Oct. version.The Nov. version can be accessed thru Internet Explorer.I've had this problem in the past.Waiting long enough (days or weeks) has resolved it.Please advise.

    Nothing much to add.

    Thanks for the reply. By the time I received it, the web site had already reset itself, so I could get the November information. A couple of questions: By clearing recent history or cache, do I lose the ability to start other websites by just starting the information on the URL? I'm not sure how much I want to lose in this process. Thanks again. Larry

  • I downloaded the newest version of Firefox and now I can not use any of the clickable link tabs in yahoo mail, gmail, or hotmail. Do you know what is causing this.

    Go to msn.com for example: at the top of their page they have clickable link to hotmail. When I upgraded to Firefox 7 this link no longer works. Same thing happens with my yahoo mail, gmail and hotmail. If you open up yahoo mail for example; I can not click on the signout tab.... it doesn't function with firefox 7. I worked prior to uploading new version. I don't have that problem on my windows 7 platform.

    That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.

  • Since upgrading to the latest version of Firefox (15.0.1) any keystrokes I enter into the Google search box do not register.

    Hope someone can help with this! Since upgrading to Firefox 15.0.1 most, but not quite all, keystokes I enter do not register. I've checked that my keyboard is working and it's absolutely fine with any other applications, including Internet Explorer which I've had to resort to using in order to post this question, as I can't fill in the fields using Firefox.

    A standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
    If input boxes work correctly, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
    Note that Safe Mode also disables hardware graphics acceleration. Before sorting through all your extensions, if you have noticed performance problems or display artifacts, try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox (in normal mode).
    You usually need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    (WIN) orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced<br>
    (LINUX) Edit > Preferences > Advanced
    On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"

  • Why is the new version of Firefox so ugly and not as user friendly as the previous versions?

    I've been using Firefox for years now and always loved it because of the simplicity of use and the add-ons that made my life easier. Now the major add-on that I use is no longer compatible, the new setup is visually disorienting, and apparently users have to make all kinds of adjustments to be even decently happy with their browser. Why on earth would you ever consider releasing an update that requires the users to do half the work to be satisfied with the program, or to update their OS to a system with which they're not comfortable? I switched back to 3.6 immediately, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    Plan A: Simply "Enable" the menu bar again. Click on the Ugly orange button, Choose Options and then choose "Menu Bar".
    Plan B: Install this theme
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-3-theme-for-firefox/
    I'm sure changing the theme was a point of major debate to the developers. In the end, I think they only alienated their existing userbase. If we want something that looks like Google Chrome, we'll use Google Chrome.
    Google Chrome is difficult to use to the average user. Now Firefox is too. Too tech inclined. Completely out of touch with the vast majority of web users.
