After updating to latest Firefox - when I click on google taskbar my CPU usage goes to 100% and stays there... and computer is really slow. No other search engine show the 100% usage like Google. There was NOT a problem with older versions of Firefox...?
My computer got really slow after updating to latest version of Firefox. I checked all processes and I was testing the system. THe CPU usage goes between 2 and 70 percent staying around 25% on average, when I check my e-mail. As soon as I click on Google taskbar (without even typing in anything) the CPU usage jumps to 100% and STAYS at 100 %, and computer extremely slow.

The latest two updates of Mozilla Firefox are not useful for me because of extremely slow printing of web pages. It was never a problem before. Same iMac and HP officejet printer. How can I either fix it, or revert to an earlier version of the browser (without losing all my bookmarks) which didn't cause this problem?
Try scanning from your Mac. Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom. Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Good, Mozilla you need to look at the problem. What made you think that 8.0.1 should be allowed to disable everything your users have?
You can't use system restore to go back to a previous Firefox version. SR only restores a few specific files and not all files. You will have to do a reinstall of your Firefox version.
You can find the latest Firefox release here:
*Firefox 8.0.1: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Firefox 7.0.1: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/7.0.1
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.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is a compatibility update available. -
I can't use Yahoo messenger (it doesn't open the dialogue window), but in other PCs with older versions of Firefox I don't have problems
As stated earlier even though when I have an incoming message I hear the "Beep" Firefox does not open the dialogue window as it used to do.
Also I am not able to open a new dialogue window or tab by clicking on an online contact of mine.Known issue, See:
* https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
this issue maybe fixed in beta/ nightly, you should try it

Unable to upload a music album to music library. i was able to upload with older version of iTunes.
unable to upload a music album to music library. i was able to upload with older version of iTunes. with the latest update this issue started happening
You're probably trying to purchase iTunes Plus songs - which, yes, will require an updated version of iTunes to purchase. To play them, however, you won't need to update iTunes. This, like you said, will force you to purchase them on another computer and then transfer.

I need help downloading firefox. I clicked on download, a message this message appeared at the bottom of my screen: "This type of file can harm your computer. Do you want to keep Firefox Setup 8.0.exe anyway?" Then I had the option to "keep" or "discard."
Download from official site:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
select "keep", and after downloading double-click to install it.
thank you

I chose the wrong category in support before I came to the forum (I chose service request and troubleshooting instead of using ipod with itunes, and they had me run an ios diagnostic quick test. What exactly does that do if I'm not having problems? Can that harm the files or hardware on the ipod if I'm not having any problem with my ipod and don't want to troubleshoot anything on it?
I have no idea what iOS test you are talking about,. Please provided details.
I can't imagine that the test would effect the iPod. -
Firefox not only disappears from my dock but also from my Applications folder. I tried to downl0ad it again today (5/19/2011), however, it says my system isn't compatible because I don't have an Intel processor. Any suggestions. I have problems with Safari and like to use Firefox but can't if it keeps disappearing and then Mozilla tells me that I can't install after I have already downloaded the application.
For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version that runs on Mac OS X 10.4.11 or Mac OS X 10.5.8 (PowerPC) you can look at:
* http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Firefox 3.6.x (Mac OS X 10.4 and later) can be found here:
* http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html -
After I turn on my browser, I can use the buttons and change the url for about 10 seconds. Then, the browser freezes for 10 seconds and I cannot cahnge the url or save bookmarks. It is periodic about every ten seconds.
If you are getting

ever since I updated to Firefox 3.6.8 I can no longer open/delete/etc e-mail on MS Hotmail's revamped version which I could with Firefox's older version. I cannot even highlite messages, no nothing
I use Windows Vista
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed new version 3.6.8 of FirefoxSimilar problem here although it's since Hotmail changed (I guess it's rolled out in stages) for me not since I installed FF 3.6.8. The same problem occurs in IE8. Seems a Hotmail problem rather than a FF one but I';d really appreciate any help I can get.

Problems with older version of fglrx and fglrx kernel version patch
Hi I'm having problems making a package of an older version of FGLRX with the new 2.6.20 kernel update. Reason why I want to use an older version is <a href = "http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=26888">here</a> (sadly, ATI hasn't fixed this issue). It appears the newest patch can't find the appropriate source files to patch, I tried switching the names of the files to the ones writting in the previous patch, but that simply fails.
I have the old binary driver, the newest install file and the newest patch file. Here's what I'm getting when I run makepkg:
[root@xenoarch fglrx]# makepkg
==> Making package: ati-fglrx 8.29.6-2 (Sat Feb 24 17:20:16 EST 2007)

Any ideas?this isn't a netbeans problem...
this rather seems to be a problem of packages that can be found or not found.
make sure you have all the correct jars/packages mounted..
try to recompile it first! -
The search engine in the middle of my start page does not work.
I presume this is the Mozilla search engine. It worked in earlier versions. Other engines, such as Google work fine, but not the main engine. It slows a blinking cursor and I can enter something, but it does not react to clicking SEARCH with with the mouse or to pressing ENTER.
Use this for the home page: http://www.google.co.uk/firefox

Using Firefox 3.6.17 on PPC 10.5.8. Try and install 4.01 Firefox and it tells me it is a older version and to replace 3.6.17 with it. Just different is all so please let me know what will happen if I install 4.01 over 3.6.17.
It is most likely caused by the timestamps of the files. Firefox 3.6.17 was probably build at a later time than Firefox 4.0.1 and that makes the OS think that 3.6.17 is a more recent version. You can ignore that warning.

Used to be that when I bookmarked a page or site, Firefox provided an option for renaming. Doesn't seem to do so anymore. Nor can I rename in the bookmark list when I'm "managing" or editing bookmarks.
In the Bookmarks Manager you can change the properties of a bookmark in the Details pane at the bottom right.<br />
That Info pane has a More/Less button to show or hide extra properties.
* You can change the Properties (including the name) of a Bookmark or Tag in the Details (Properties) pane at the bottom of the right pane in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks: Shift+Ctrl+B) after selecting an item. You can rename a tag by selecting the Tags folder in the left panel and change the name in the Info pane at the bottom right.
* You can make changes to a Bookmark in the Bookmarks menu drop down list or in the side bar (View > Sidebar > Bookmarks, Ctrl+B) via the Properties entry in the right-click context menu.
* You can open a bookmark in a tab and click the yellow (blue on Mac) star in the location bar to open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and see in which folder a bookmark is located.
