After updating to Firefox 8 Beta for Mac, no window opens on startup.

After updating to Firefox 8 beta on Mac, I tried to open a new session. Upon starting, a pop-up appeared in the upper left corner of the screen. ([[As seen here.|http://i51.tinypic.com/2z9i99s.png]])
I tried to close it by clicking Cancel or OK, neither of which was successful. Is there any way to fix this problem?

Firefox 16 versions still work with your OS X 10.5 operating system, but that is the last version that will work. 
Firefox 17 will require OS X 10.6 and later.
You can see the Firefox 17 (currently in beta) system requirements here:

After updating to Firefox 7, it takes a minute to open, with W7.

I updated to Firefox 7 recently from version 3, or something like that. Now, I have to wait a minute for Firefox to open. After it opens, seems to operate normally.

@repected sir.
we paid kaspersky pure alot of money....and a major portion was because it has inbuilt password manager.....
if we get the password manager v5..we still have to pay for it which is unacceptible.
firefox has ruined password manager.
i recommend people to switch over to chrome(the new version has password manager support) for the time being till firefox gets us a stable version one which has support for kaspersky password manager.

Hi ARCHER49,
You should try going to this page:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Find your version language version of Firefox 12 and try the download from there. You might also want to check your downloads folder just in case it has been downloaded already ;)
Hopefully this helps!

Can't pause flash with right mouse click on mac osx 10.6 after update from firefox 3 to 6

After updating my firefox 3... to firefox 6 I can no longer right click in a flash video and pause it

My camera is a 1Ds mk II..
and for that one it says
All versions tested. All versions tested. Supported only through Lightroom 4.1.
however, it also says
Windows XP, Vista, 7; Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6
which is plain wrong, because Canon never supported any drivers for Windows Vista or Win 7, not to speak of XP 64bit. (You cannot connect the camera via firewire, without the device drivers!)

After automated update from Firefox 4 beta to RC I lost my profile

After this morning automated update from Firefox 4 beta to the RC the browser created a new profile without importing the existing one .
So, please help me to recover my data.

''it looks like the new version creates the default profile in C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ I've copied the files from the older location (C:\Users\My _user\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\) and the problem is solved.''
''if this is the intended behaviour, it sucks!''
This is not normal behavior. The default Firefox profile folder should still be located here, on Windows Vista: 
C:\Users\< user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>.
 ref: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Windows
Restart the computer and make sure you are logged into Windows as the correct user, by entering '''%USERPROFILE%''' into the Windows Start Menu "Start Search" box. Once you are sure you are logged in as the correct user, try starting Firefox again and see if you are using the old Firefox profile folder (go to Firefox -> Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> Open Containing Folder")
You can also create a new Firefox profile with a unique name - see [[Managing profiles]] - then find the new profile folder and use the instructions here to copy over your data:
[[Recovering important data from an old profile]] (It's better to only copy selected data and reinstall your needed extensions).

After updating to Firefox 7.0.1, menu bar for Google,yahoo, Facebook (message,notification,profile,home) and others site are disabled. How can solve this problem?

after updating to Firefox 7.0.1, menu bar for Google(web ,image,video,map etc),yahoo, Facebook (message,notification,profile,home) and others site are disabled. even I cant log out from different sites cz the log out bar is completely disabled. I tried with Firefox 4;5 and 6, same problem exist . I tried by active all add ons for facebook, same problem exist. If I use internet explorer , I don't find such problem with it.
How can I solve this problem?

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

How do I remove the bookmark toolbar icons for websites? After updating to Firefox 22, add-ons don't help.

In the Bookmark Toolbar, the icons for websites take up too much space and are distracting. I used to use the Bookmarks - Deiconizer add-on but after updating to Firefox 22 it doesn't work anymore.
I tried adjusting the userChrome.css as in other posts but that does not work.
Please help!

Hi haweyext,
Did you see this thread from yesterday:
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/964732 How do I keep the icons out of my Bookmarks Toolbar (tried Bookmarks Deiconizer) even after downloading files?]
If userChrome.css isn't working (note: you need to exit and restart Firefox before it takes effect), you can apply that rule to Firefox using the Stylish extension instead.
Does any of that help?

Problem loading pages after update to Firefox 36

After updating from Firefox 35.0.1 to version 36, I am unable to load any pages in Firefox. (My internet connection is fine and I can use other browsers on the same computer.)
I've already tried many troubleshooting routines to fix the problem but none have worked. I've tried the instructions here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-problems-connecting-websites-after-updating
(including troubleshooting my Firewall and proxy settings)
and here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can
I've also tried the more general and extensive troubleshooting here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems
NONE of the suggestions in any of those pages solved the problem. Opening Firefox is Safe Mode did not help either. I was unable to load pages even in Safe Mode.
After following all of the steps in all of those troubleshooting guides and still failing, I uninstalled Firefox completely. (I followed all official directions on how to uninstall.) Then I re-installed Firefox VERSION 35.0.1. Firefox again worked fine with the older version.
Then I restored my profile from a backup using MozBackup. (My most recent backup was done when I had Ver. 35.0.1 installed.) Everything was still fine; Firefox worked fine and all of my settings were back to my preferences.
Finally, I again tried to update to version 36 - and the same thing happened! Unable to load any pages!
One other thing I've noticed: With version 36 installed, there is something wrong with my Options dialog. The first time I upgraded, I had only blank tabs for "General" and "Advanced"; with my second try, after updating to V 36 my Options dialog has blank tabs for "General" and "Search" (although Advanced is now showing.)
I am going to uninstall again, and again go back to V 35.0.1. But I would like to be able to update to the newest version. What can I do?
(I am a long-time Firefox user, and reasonably computer savvy. I have many extensions installed as I use Firefox as an important tool in my job as a website designer. I have Firefox extensively fine-tuned to my liking to optimize my work-flow.)
Any help appreciated!

Your message seems to have covered all the normal things we check.
When you tried using v36, did you have any add-ons? Have you tried;
'''https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles'''
'''Windows: 32-bit''' C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -p
'''64-bit''' C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -p
'''Mac:''' Navigate to '''/Applications/Utilities.''' Open the Terminal application.
In the Terminal application, enter the following:
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -p
'''Linux:''' In '''Terminal''' run: firefox –P
For users who have one or more builds from mozilla.org this will not work.
It would be best to have the full path so if you had placed the untared contents
in a folder in /home it would be /home/<username>/foldername/firefox/firefox –P
An easy way would be not to do it in a terminal but in say a launcher since
you have to point it to the firefox script in Firefox folder you can then add –P
on end. You can also have the exact "profilename" after the -P so Firefox
will start with that Profile.

It sounds like you restored from an old back-up. Did you back-up just before your software update? It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
Sorry for your losses.

I got that message with all of my libraries. Do see if the galleries are still on your iDisk mount your iDisk and go to the iDisk/Web/Sites folder and look for a folder titled "_gallery". Inside of it should be folders for each of your galleries. The folders are titled with 6 digit numbers which makes it difficult to know which folder is for which gallery.
Thanks. "_gallery" is empty
Have you tried re-syncing as Larry suggested?
I'm sure it will work, but I'm perplexed as to how this could happen.
Do you find that iPhoto now launches faster? Perhaps it's because my web galleries are gone?

Silverlight plug-in does not works in FireFox 4 - beta 7 ( Mac OS 10.6.6 ) !!!! What is the problem ? I don't have any installed add-on !!!

Hi every one
Silverlight plug-in does not works in FireFox 4 - beta 7 ( Mac OS 10.6.6 ) !!!!
I don't have any installed Extensions except "Better GReader" and "Video Helper" !!!
I have problem with Seesmic.com and installing applications that required Silverlight !
I installed latest version of Silverlight many times.
Please help me.
(I don't have any problem with Safari or other Web Browser.)
Thank You all.

Silverlight only supports non-64 bit versions of Firefox on OSX (and from Firefox 4 onwards we're shipping 64-bit Firefox to 64-bit OSX users) and unlike with other plugins, we can't just start a 32-bit process to run it because of issues with the silverlight plugin architecture. We're working with the Silverlight team at Microsoft to get those fixed but it's essentially waiting on them.
(Or you could try to pressure them into releasing a 64-bit Silverlight for Macs.)

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

After updating to mountain lion on my mac pro I am unable to connect my g-raid

After updating to mountain lion on my mac pro I am unable to connect my g-raid 1T external hard drive using the firewire connection? I have 4 places to plug the firewire into, none work. All ports used to work with Snow leopard?

Try this:
Boot into Safe Mode then restart normally.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
If this does not work to fix the problem, then:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.

Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Updating from firefox 29 beta to release version

I am currently on Firefox 29 Beta, with the browser updated to the latest RC version last week. But as of 29th April 2014, the release version of Firefox 29 has been introduced. I wanted to know if my browser will update to the release version using the automatic updater or if I need to update manually from beta version to release version.

hello joynul007, when you're on firefox 29 beta currently you will be updated to firefox 30 beta in a few days. in case you'd like to switch back to the regular release versions, just download firefox 29 for your system & language from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all.html and install it on top of your current beta version (this will keep all your bookmarks, passwords and settings).

My firefox, after update to 37.0.2 is closing everytime I open a new tab

Hello,
My firefox, after update to 37.0.2 is closing everytime I open a new tab.
I started with a new profile and have the same problem.
I formated my HD and instaled everything again, and I still have the same problem
Regards,

You can check for issues with the new tab page setting.
See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page and set that pref to your preferred new tab page.
* the default new tab page with the tiles is about:newtab
* the default home page is about:home
* for a blank page you can use about:blank
The browser.newtabpage.enabled pref should be set to true to use the page set via browser.newtab.url as the new tab page.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
