After reinstalling firefox 4.0.01 I cannot reinstall delicious tag button

4.0.1 was working great. Upgraded to firefox 5. when I tried to log on to many sites firefox would say loading site for an hour or so and never load site. After it stuck on one site no sites would load. Close firefox and try to reload and get message firefox was already running. Task manager could not shut it down so I would have to reboot. I unistalled firefox 5 and reinstalled firefox 4.0.1. Now firefox 4.0.1 is sometimes doing the same thing as 5. before upgrade 4.0.1 was working great. I need to reinstall delicious bookmark extenson for firefox for work. When I go to the website firefox just says loading but never completes. any help would be appreciated. I am limited to IE for most of my internet surfing now because I use my computer for work and cannot be rebooting my computer 10 times a day.

I had the same problem. I'm running 10.5 but on a Motorola chip. The Firefox download page is not clear on OS and machine requirements. To fix the problem, trash the newly installed Firefox 4. Download Firefox 3.6.16 and reinstall. All of your preferences and bookmarks will still be there as they are contained in a different place. Hope this helps.

  • After installing Firefox then closing it, I cannot open it, PC says it has been cancelled due to restrictions on my computer

    I have run Firefox for over a year now. However I ended up with various pop-ups recently though they were easy enough to remove and didn't effect Firefox in any obvious way. In the past few days every time I have attempted to open Firefox, even right-clicking on the .exe file a warning pops-up saying "the operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. please contact your system administrator".
    I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and it worked fine, only to return to that warning message after I closed and re-opened it. This has also effected Google Chrome in the exact same way even though I never owned Chrome until all this business began. Internet Explorer, which I'm on now has suffered no problems.

  • Cannot download gadgets. I have several but after installing Firefox 3.6.6 I cannot install more gadgets.

    Firefox 3.6.6 / Windows Vista. Gadgets will not download. Weather gadget quit functioning. I have tried save mode but no luck there either.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After upgrade to 3.6.6

    Hello,
    i think firefox does not have a native pdf reader.
    But some plugins allow you to view these documents. For instance, Adobe created one, you can find it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/browse/type:7
    (the first one..)

  • Using firefox with yahoo toolbar I cannot access my hotmail button, it locks up my email account, I cannot read/delete emails or log out of account.

    I use the yahoo-firefox toolbar that has buttons you can access from the toolbar, mail etc. I have a button for Hotmail it goes to the account but locks up, it will not let me read/delete emails nor log out of my account. I can access it from another laptop that is not running the same versions of firefox/yahoo toolbar.

    Last but not least, for the site that has the problem:
    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) Clear Firefox's Cache
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can open the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • Cannot use my old firefox sync account after reinstalling

    After reinstalling firefox I can no longer use my old Firefox Sync account. I am told that there is no such account here https://accounts.firefox.com and I created a new account, with the same e-mail as my old account.
    After some research I was able to find this https://account.services.mozilla.com/ in which I can login with my old account.
    My problem now is that I want to retrieve the information that I had in my old sync and I can't find any way to do it.
    Also, because I was experiencing severe performance problems using firefox, I deleted some folders in my machine related to Firefox (after uninstalling) including what seemed to be the profile location for firefox.
    What is really important for me is: How do I retrieve my old Firefox Sync account data or synchronize it with the new Mozilla account?
    Thanks,
    V

    hello, firefox 29 and upwards is using a different sync system which isn't compatible with accounts set-up in older versions.
    in this case you'd probably have to use a workaround and download the prior firefox 28 version, disable automatic updating for the moment (in options > advanced > update), link it to the old sync account (with username, password & recovery key) and upgrade after you have successfully restored your data this way...

  • After reinstalling Photoshop PS6 I cannot any longer save smart collections in Bridge

    I am using Windows 7. Before, I used a hrad disk for the system, now I have a SSD, plus seveal hard disks for data storage.
    Can anybody help me with advice what the problem is?
    That whould be great. Thanx,

  • After installing Firefox 3.6 I click on the icon to open it and get the error message "Windows cannot find 'C\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' " can anyone help?

    This has happened after uninstalling Firefox, twice and downloading it twice.

    Did you check if the Firefox file is in that location?
    If it isn't there then do a clean (re)install:
    * 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.
    If the file is there then do a malware check with some malware scan programs.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.<br />

  • After using CC cleaner, i am unable to use Firefox18, but still can use Firefox after reinstalling FX17. What do you think is causing this?

    As above. I think that the CC cleaner somehow corrupted the startup files/sequence of FFox when it cleared the internet cache. Tried solutions heretofore listed including retrieval of profile. The command is simply not executed in wnd expl.
    Just to be clear, clicking on all firefox icons for firefox 18---Nothing happens.

    If your clear the registry in ccleaner, it may be affected Firefox registry.
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
    #Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
    '''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
    After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
    * '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
    * '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
    #Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
    #In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
    #Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
    #* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
    #* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
    #Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
    Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    #Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    #Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
