After upgrading to Firefox 8 for mac osx I am unable to close a browser window using command w, or command shift w?

Hi there,
After upgrading to Firefox 8 for mac osx I am unable to close a browser window using command w, or command shift w?
Is there any way I can correct this as it is very annoying?
Cheers

It only happens for me on pages where I've allowed some Flash element to play (I have Flashblocker) such as a YouTube video.

After upgrading to FF4 for Mac OSX.5.8 the Flash-based website builder WIX will not register any keyboard inputs; eg i cannot type in a title or use command+z to undo something, Why is this?

I am using a MacBook Pro with OSX.5.8 installed. I just upgraded to FF4. I have been previously using the online website builder WIX and now when i open up my website to edit it in a separate browser window it does not register my keystrokes. I can edit with the mouse and make changes but i cant type in any titles or names for save files or anything. Shortcut keystorkes like command+z also do not work.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

I just installed the new firefox for Mac OSX 10.6.8 and when I select an image on a site (right click and copy) and paste in Photoshop 5.5, the image lightens. It does not do this in Safari.

Firefox, Safari, and PhotoShop each handle embedded color profiles differently. For an add-on that makes it easier to experiment with Firefox's color management options, you might be interested in: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/color-management/ Color Management :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.

Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do NOT have; yours is a PPC Mac) '''''and''''' OSX 10.5 or higher
*System Requirements: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 4] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/5.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 5] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/6.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 6] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/7.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 7] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/8.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 8]
'''''The good news''''' is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with the PPC Mac architecture. '''''The bad news''''' is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

Need legacy Firefox for Mac OSX 10.3.9 Power PC G4

Can anyone send a link to a .dmg file for legacy Firefox for Mac OSX 10.3.9 Power PC G4. I'm trying to give my mom my old Mac Mini that doesn't have an intel processor, so current browsers aren't possible.

Grab it while you can do easily, Firefox 3.6 is still supported and may be used on a G3

Install older version of Firefox for Mac OSX 10.4.11

I accidentally downloaded and wrote over the Firefox version I had with the new 7.0 version of Firefox after I read that my Mac OSX 10.4.11 is not compatible. Is there a way to download an older version, a compatible version of Firefox?

None of links I tried for Mac on the page http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html are working. But I found a version on the FTP server: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.28/mac/

Empty Event Folders on OS Devices after upgrade to Photos for Mac

I recently upgraded to Photos for Mac and did the same on my iPhone and iPad. Even though some my iPhoto Events have synced, most have not. What is the reason for this error? Also, How can I add pictures from the Photos for Mac application to my OS Devices?

Events and Albums are not the same thing in iPhoto. Iphoto Events are converted to Albums when you migrate to the new app. Using iCloud library is probably the best way to access these on your iOS devices.

Photos Gone after Upgrade to Photos for Mac

I recently upgraded to Photos for Mac. I just opened it for the first time. Out of the hundreds of photos I used to be able to view, only four appear. What happened? What do I do to see all the photos Icould see previously?

Did you complete the migration process from iPhoto Library to the new Photos Library? Did you migrate your main iPhoto Library?
Where exactly are you looking that makes you think not all photos migrated? You might be looking at Albums, not individual images (they kind of look similar).
Double-click to open the Photos or All Photos albums to check the total number of photos you have. It's displayed either on the very bottom of the screen or in the tool bar. Compare that total to what iPhoto has in its library (iPphoto is still located in your Applications folder and remains fully functional).

When will you optimize Firefox for Mac OSX Lion?

Mac OSX Lion has hit the Mac App Store. It has several new features for Safari. The features are very cool, and I am hoping that Mozilla is planning on implementing similar features with Firefox. The main ones that I'm looking for is a better full screen mode and disappearing scroll bars.

No answers, but Mozilla is aware of the new release of Lion, and hopefully are working on solving some of the known issues. There are some rather formal technical discussions and reports, as mentioned in this contributors thread: [/forums/contributors/707160]

HELP! I've upgraded to Firefox 12 (Mac OSX 10.7.3) and everything has gone wrong.

My Fast Dial add-on has disabled and won't reinstall or function as it used to.
When I quit Firefox my tabs won't restore when I reopen Firefox.
The bookmarks toolbar has disappeared and wont' reappear however much I click View>Toolbars>Bookmarks Toolbar.
There's other issues as well. It's too depressing.

'''Fast Dial''' -> Try Uninstalling & Reinstalling the extension and Restarting Firefox (a few times). Also see this article -> [[Add-ons are disabled after updating Firefox]]

Accessing folders/events that were in iPhoto After Upgrade to Photos for Mac

I had 82 events/albums in iPhoto. What is the best process to access these folders on all my OS devices in Photos for Mac?

Events and Albums are not the same thing in iPhoto. Iphoto Events are converted to Albums when you migrate to the new app. Using iCloud library is probably the best way to access these on your iOS devices.

I have used firefox for Mac OSX 10.4.11 for about a year and i quit it and opened up again later and all of my bookmarks were gone and it seemed like it was a whole new firefox is there anyway to get my stuff back

Everything that was saved on my Firefox including bookmarks for work, important add on with things saved on them, and all of my previous downloads. One minute it was working i quit Firefox then opened it up again and all of my items had been deleted. Please help!

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

In Firefox 3.6.3 for Mac OSX JAVA-applets don't appear

In Firefox 3.6.3 for Mac OSX JAVA-applets don't appear, although JAVA is installed. How to solve this problem?
http://www.kleinhaneveld.nl/genealogie/index.html (under Dynamic Family Tree)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after upgrading to FF 3.6

You need to use the command line switch -safe-mode in the Terminal to start Firefox 3.6 versions in Safe Mode.

The last Firefox version that runs on Mac OS X 10.4 is Firefox 3.6.28.
For an unofficial Firefox 17.0.5 ESR compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:
