After updating Firefox to version 16.0.1, it no longer works in conjunction with "Proxifier"...

Hi,
I'm using Firefox on Windows XP professional x64 SP2.
I also use a program called "Proxifier" which directs all traffic from my computer to the Internet and vice versa through a proxy server and does the name resolution through proxy DNS not system DNS. Before updating my Firefox to v. 16.0.1, everything was working fine: Firefox connections were made through "Proxifier" and all the connections made by Firefox were shown in Proxifier's window.
But after updating Firefox, traffic from Firefox does not pass through Proxifier and in other words Firefox opens websites if I disable Proxifier. THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH Internet Explorer which works fine and its traffic is directed through Proxifier as usual.
I did an extensive search through Google for a solution, and most relevant results suggest that it may have something to do with messed up LSP_CATEGORIES:
link: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621320
and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636088
Anyway, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and Proxifier, resetting Firefox, resetting winsocks catalog (netsh int ip reset - netsh winsock reset) several times and tried the relevant suggestions in this link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-problems-connecting-websites-after-updating?esab=a&as=aaq
Also tried installing previous versions of Firefox such as v. 13 or 3.6.28 but the problem exists with these versions as well.
Unfortunately nothing has worked so far. I'm really puzzled since Internet Explorer is working fine with Proxifier and this problem with Firefox appeared only after updating it.
Can anyone suggest a solution?
Regards

hello, you probably have to set-up firefox to use a proxy to connect to the web: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/settings-network-updates-and-encryption#w_network-tab

After updating Firefox to version 12.0, I can no longer get my web-based help desk software to follow hyperlinks.

Our help-desk is internal, secure website. We have used Firefox for our help desk software browser since we purchased the software. But after updating to version 12, clicking on a hyperlink no longer works but only for the help desk software. Pre-version 12 works fine. External sites are fine. IE executes the help-desk software fine. There is no error, it just never executes the hyperlink. It's like they're text. Where can I start looking? We'd prefer not to go to IE, but we are using it now to get by.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

After updating to 5.0.1 my keyboard dock no longer works.

After updating, the keyboard is no longer recognized. It shows that it is plugged in (charging) but keys won't respond.

Are the songs that you are trying to play grayed out in your playlists?
I had this problem after upgrading to iOS 5, and I found that deleting all the songs from my device and re-syncing them fixed the problem.
To do this:
1. Attach your iOS device (either using the cable or to the same wi-fi network if using iTunes Wi-Fi Sync).
2. Open iTunes, and click on your iOS device.
3. Click on the Music tab.
4. Uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox at the top.
5. When asked, click "Don't Sync Music".
6. Sync the iOS device. Your songs will be removed from the device.
7. Check the "Sync Music" checkbox at the top once again.
8. Sync the iOS device again, and your songs will be re-added.
I don't know why the upgrade made some songs unreadable, but the resync fixed the problem for me (I had to do this for each of my iOS devices after upgrading them all to iOS 5). Fortunately, I only had 1,000 songs, so the resync didn't take forever.
Hope this helps!

After updating Firefox to version 10.01 i no longer have any addons listed under extensions tab. I do have addons installed and they are working.

Example addons that are currently working include no-script and downloadthemall. Both addons are working but do not show up under extensions. I can only see my plugins, such as java, realplayer, shockwave etc. It's very annoying when trying to acess my addons to constantly be taken to the "Get Addons" page.

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

After updating Firefox to version 26.0, when opening I cant access any webpages. I done resets and done the uninstall and upon reinstall I get the same problem

The webpages tell me to change the proxy which I did and then to check for the firewall which I also did. I thought maybe the add ons where the issue so I attempted to do a safe mode without them on as well but to no avail. I am at a loss. I have uninstalled and re installed firefox 3 times now and nothing has worked.

Search for prior edition online it should be there 26 is buggy

After update, firefox has replaced the website icons for shortcuts on my home screen with the firefox icon. is there a fix for that?

I have several shortcuts to websites on my homescreen. When I initially add the shortcuts to the homescreen they show up with the website' icon, I guess that fav.ico is used.
After the update of Firefox, all icons are replaced with the firefox icon.

Self-hosted add-ons have to be fixed for every new version of Firefox. Two to 6 months for updating an add-on is ridiculous for a program which has a new version release every '''6 weeks'''. If that extension was hosted at the official Add-ons website, Mozilla would take take care of "bumping" that extension, as long as it keeps working, for every new version of Firefox, as the new version is released.
See this thread from yesterday, I posted instructions about how to "bump" that extension for Firefox 7.<br />
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/884484
You can also use this extension to "bump" an already installed extension for compatibility with the currently installed version of Firefox. <br />

After updating Firefox Browser a week ago a "Note Taking" program I had installed with a launch in the Tools tab disappeared ... 6 tabs of notes are gone now?

I had a nifty note taking program with a launch line in the Tools Tab of the browser ... I offered six separate pages to take notes ... I cannot remember the name of the program and when I updated the Mozilla Firefox Browser to the latest version about a week ago the line to launch that Note program in the Tools Tab was gone ... I cannot find my notes on those six pages and they were voluminous ... any ideas where the program went?

You are using Firefox 23.0, which is an unstable version of Firefox not yet ready for release (the latest stable version of Firefox is Firefox 22.0)
Quite possibly, the application you were using is not compatible with such a high version of Firefox.
You might want to take a look here (http://mzl.la/MOvsag) to see if downgrading Firefox can be a solution for you. If you were last using Firefox 22.0, you can go over to the Mozilla website (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/) and get Firefox from there.
Also, please check out Session restore for more information (http://mzl.la/MCnd4M)

After updating ram and to SSD hard drive bluetooth no longer works

Updated my two sets of hynix 2GB ram to two sets of Crucial 4GB ram (8GB total), and then also installed a Samsung 1TB SSD hard drive.
Now my Bluetooth does not recognize any devices at all.
I'm using a Mid-2010 Macbook Pro 17" 2.53 ghtz on the most recent version of Mavericks.
(In order to update to the SSD drive, I inserted the blank drive, formatted it using my install discs, then did an internet OS install of Mavericks, and used Migration Assistant to import all my old data. Everything else is working perfectly fine.)

I do not know what happened, but try resetting the SMC (might help, cannot hurt).

After downloading FireFox upgrade preview to read pdf's no longer works

I downloaded the most recent upgrade to Fire Fox and when i did I was no longer able to open pdf files. The application that is installed on my MAC is Preview and now it doesn't work in Fire Fox but does in Safari. I would prefer to use Fire Fox and would like to resolve this issue.

HI,
Locate to a .pdf file you already have. Right or control click that file, then click Get Info from the pop up menu.
Where you see: Open with; click that pop up menu. If Safari isn't listed, click "Other" then navaigate to the Safari application in the Finder and click Add. The in the Get Info window click, "Change All". That wasy all PDF's will open in Safari for you.

Problem after updating to latest version 10.0.1

After updating Firefox 10, why do I need to reboot?

Updated Firefox to version 10 in Windows XP and after installation it asks me to reboot my computer.
How come a browser asks for a full system reboot? Makes no sense!

I understand that, my question is more specific: what file could possibly be in use since Firefox was not running and hence could be replaced.
If Firefox needs to change more files than the ones that it brings, then its cumbersome to the user and it usually brings more harm than good as it can break something else in the computer.
I'm updating the browser, not anything else.

Am I the only one getting calls from 253-802-0308 about malicious file downloads after updating FIREFOX?

After updating Firefox I start getting calls from 253-802-0308 (International Telcom in Auburn Washington, found using 411.com). The report that they are getting messages that my Windows PC is reporting the downloading of malicious files. I don't think that there is a connection with Mozilla but it only started after I ran the last 2 or 3 updates to Firefox. Searches on Google and other search engines don't show logical connections to the phone calls and the problem being reported to me. None of my anti-virus programs, Ccleaner, DEFENDER & AVG pickup and malicious files. I'm curious about who they may be because when I question them during the calls they end up hanging up on me. Just wondering if similar problems are being reported.

That is a reported scammer set-up. Read some of the following from actual phone customers. It is not related to your Firefox updates. I have gotten a few of these types of calls on my '''''unlisted '''''home phone number over the past several years. They use a dialer, usually automatic and sequential number dialing. Get a loud whistle to blow into the phone mouth piece or one of those loud air horns from the hardware/sporting good store; this kind of trash deserves broken ear drums.
