After Firefox updated itself to 3.6.12 I lost sound regarding all facebook applications
after Firefox updated itself to 3.6.12 I lost sound regarding all facebook applications and videos. I have installed the latest flash and that doesn't solve the problem
After Firefox updated to 3.6.12, my homepage stated that I did not have the Flash Player installed. The latest player was installed, but I uninstalled and attempted to re-install. The installation process worked, but the Adobe Flash banner on their page does not Flash like when a proper install occurs. The Adobe DLM add on will not allow me to change options on Firefox Addon page. Now Flash content on homepage will not play, and I am forced to use IE to view content.

I have lost all my bookmarks passwords profile etc after Firefox updated to the newest version today without asking me first. I liked what I had & several times a day it would say there are updates but I closed those popups or messages. Im now using the latest version just so I can have some use while I try to sort this out & get help.
I'm adding that I tried system restore several times .... & my last full backup.... but each time something was corrupted or would not launch or there was no '''.exe '''file in the program folder...Ive never seen this before, & the Mozilla backup I had was useless... it was unable to launch either

Therefore i ask the question and hope somebody can give an answer an describe this behaviour.ala '''''Jeopardy'''''

After firefox update last night to 36.0.4, it is not starting?
After firefox update last night to 36.0.4. I cannot open Firefox. It says Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open.
I try to close it under task manager, it is not listed under process but under details - Cannot end task, as it says access is denied.
I try to look for help on the net. It says to delete the file PARENT.LOCK, It says action cannot be complete as the file is open in Firefox.
I try to shut down my computer, even log out on my current user but cannot delete the file Parent.lock.
I am using a win 8.0
The easiest way is to uninstall and to install a fresh application, but will this wipe out all my bookmarks etc....
Thanks,
CocoHi Coco,
Thank you for your question, since the parent.lock file cannot be removed it is possible to create a new profile:

Fire Fox updates itself even after I tell it not to. The new version it updates to crashes, adobe flash player doesn't work on it and it takes forever to load when it does work. I have used fire fox for years now but if this keeps up I will find something else to use.
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== When you came out with fire fox 6.6 or whateverI also have this problem of Firefox updating by itself even when I turn off auto-update.
For whatever reason, there are situations where you do not want to update or download a large file, because you're working offline, have a slow connection, or have a very low download allowance etc. Usually the update doesn't work and cause Firefox to crash. After that it cannot be started again. This is with Firefox Portable but I think I've had this problem the normal Firefox. With the portable version I can just back up a single folder but it is still time wasting and annoying.
I've noticed that when I start Firefox with auto-update turned off, it changes the options to auto-update, it also does this periodically. So every time I start Firefox I have to turn off auto-update, and I have to do this from to time because Firefox will by itself turn back on the auto-update. -
When I click on the Firefox icon, nothing shows up but it apparently is running in the background. I used Firefox yesterday and have not changed anything on my desktop, running XP, since then. This all happened with the automatic update
It is not always necessary to create a new profile.<br />
Easiest is to use: Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Open Containing folder
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it happens after an update then a possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, 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.
See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls -
Please send some advice if you have any ideas of how to solve this issue.
The info that is shown about my computer is not accurate. The machine with the problems below is running 64 bit Vista but I cannot access a site like this one due to the constraints listed below.
I fell for what I thought was a Firefox update but since installing it, when entering a URL, I am redirected back to original computer log in / password entry box. If I use my browser window drop down list I can get into something like Facebook and move around but as soon as I try to type any letter into a 'comment' box, I am redirected to both a Windows Explorer type page showing my various drives and another Window from my Start/Run with the dialog box open with cmd entered in it already. Certain typed letters don't show up at all when trying to enter a 'comment' on Facebook while various letters get various different responses. It is impossible to enter any URL or use my browser other than the items in my drop down. Once there, say to my bank account, I cannot enter any password as I am immediately redirected to someplace else upon trying to type a letter or character. I don't know how to get my browser working. I have tried IE as well and the same thing happens. All started after the supposed upgrade of Firefox. Your help would be appreciated.

Trying to upload pictures to a website, but it doesn't work. After going thru the whole process, I get a message saying; the server attempted to redirect you. Server redirection is not supported. This only happened after I updated Firefox. Never had this problem before.

E-Quake add-on not working properly after Firefox update
Question E-Quake no longer shows the mag and location at the bottom right corner of my page...Firefox just updated itself a week ago to 9.0.1.... ...I think it still shakes the page though, but is not showing the info...
Why not go straight to Control Panel>Windows Update? There is no need to use either Firefox or Internet Explorer.
If I were you I would update to at least IE9.
I'm using IE View 1.5.6 with IE 10 without problems. -
Starting last night, after an update, I am no longer able to use Firefox.
"Problem loading page"
"Unable to connect"
Unable to connect"
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at.....
I have tried various things, even uninstalled and re-installed, took it out of the firewall, and added it back in. But nothing is working.
Please help!
Thank You
MaraHello Mara, see if the next is helpful : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]
also, try to boot the computer in [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows Safe mode with network support] (press F8 on the boot screen) and check firefox again.
(If works in Windows Safe mode then probably you have problem with other software, like security software or maybe a system driver, that is running on your computer).
thank you -
Flash player not loading videos after firefox update to 32.0.1
Hi,
I use Firefox portable and use it for work. I do moderation of videos. I open a page with 5-20 videos that load with Flash Player and view them. Today there was a Firefox update to 32.0.1 version. After update when I open a page I only get 1 video loaded and the others are blank. When I right-click on area where a video should be I get "Movie not loaded..." greyed (can not click) and "About Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.152..."
I checked and I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player plugin. It was updated few days ago and worked fine until Firefox update. I also checked to open a page with SRWare Iron (also portable browser) and everything works.I tried reinstalling Flash twice. Did it as on the link for Windows. The second time I erased also a Flash folder in SysWOW64. Tried installing Adobe Shockwave Player, didn't help and when I disabled Flash plugin and left only Adobe Shockwave Player plugin, didn't get any videos just a link to get Flash.
Tried this with ProtectedMode=0, also didn't help, everything was the same.
So still, what ever the number of videos I open on one page/tab, I only get to see one video, the others are blank. -
Ever since firefox automatically updated itself, I am not able to open websites in new windows - meaning that if I am on a website and you click a link on it that opens in a new window, that new window is blank. It used to work perfectly. I even checked my foxit reader and that it working well
Hello Angelika.
I should bring your attention to the fact that your user agent says you're using Firefox 3.6, not 3.0. I will remind you that Firefox 3.0 has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems.
As for your problem, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author. -
I am running firefox on a MacBook pro. Mac OS X version 10.7.5. There was a firefox update about a day or 2 ago. Ever since it was done, I was getting "syntax error" 5 times, every time a page was loaded. A little research suggested that an application or plug in called "social fixer" might be the problem but I couldn't figure out how to get rid of it so decided to try to reset Firefox. Minutes went by and a message was on the screen saying the old firefox files were being "cleaned up" or something but it seemed to be "stuck" as the progress bar was kind of jerky. Not looking like it usually does. So I clicked on "cancel." After that, I couldn't even get firefox to start. It would say my profile is unavailable or inaccessible. Following instructions found on the support site, I created a new profile and I thought I copied the files from the previous firefox over to the new profile but when I start firefox, it's a blank slate. None of my book marks or passwords are there. It has to be here somewhere but I can't seem to figure it out.
Sounds like there was a problem with updating the profiles.ini file.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file
You can try to delete the current profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile in case Firefox hasn't done this.
You can check if there is a profile folder with a time stamp number appended and in that case you can set the location of a newly created profile to that folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_a_missing_profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you need to recover data from an older profile, either still in the default location or as an Old Firefox Data folder on the desktop then see:

I am running Firefox on Windows XP. After Firefox was updated to version 30.0, the attachment popup in Gmail and Yahoo mail are not showing up. Clicking on the attach icon does not show any response. Its working fine perfectly in Chrome. I removed extensions and tried again, but the issue persists.
Start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Safe Mode to Troubleshoot the issue] and to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

After an automatic Firefox update, my gmails started to open up in separate instances of minimized Firefox windows. The former way was that any email I clicked on would open full screen in the same instance of Firefox and in the same maximized window. Any suggestions on how to get back to the former way?
First, try to update to the recently released Firefox 15, see if that resolves your issue. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]].
If it doesn't, try to Reset Firefox.
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.
