Cannot comment or like on Facebook using older version of Firefox.
Whenever I try to Like something on facebook, nothing happens, and when I try to comment, if I write further than the small existing chatbar, it will not scroll to allow me to see what I'm typing. When I hit Enter to make the comment, nothing happens.
I'm concerned that Facebook simply won't work properly for me because of my old version of firefox (3.6.28), however I cannot upgrade to a newer version because of the age of my computer (running OSX 10.4.11), and I'm not in a position to get a new computer right now, so I'd like to see if I can find a fix.
I have already tried clearing my cookies and cache, I've checked my plugins for problematic ones, including "Effective Measure Community Plugin 3.1.0 (by Effective Measure Pty Ltd)" mentioned in another thread (it wasn't there) and disabled those it listed as being known to cause problems. I've checked to make sure my JavaScript is up to date and enabled. I've tried turning off all add-ons, and the possible combinations of some on, some off. I've tried adding a cookie permission for Facebook. So far, none of these fixes have been effective. I haven't been able to try troubleshooting in Safe Mode, because the option to run in Safe Mode is not listed under the Help dropdown menu.
Is there anything I haven't tried that anyone knows of for fixing the issue, or is my browser simply too outdated?
I don't know what versions of Firefox they test against at Facebook. It certainly is possible that some of the scripts have been updated so far that they have become incompatible. Might need to pose that question to Facebook.
First, though, you might test in a clean profile. This will bypass your accumulated customizations and extensions and give a truer answer to "is the problem version 3.6"? A new profile also will have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager as described in [https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles]. Any time you want to switch between profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Any difference in how FB works? If the issues are resolved in a clean profile, you might experiment with add-on settings and see whether that could be an issue.

Installed Firefox 4.0 after using Internet Explorer for many years. Everything works fine, except cannot scan on HP Photosmart C4480 printer/scanner/copier. Can copy and use printer, just cannot scan pictures in any more. HP help center will not open.
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

As of 2 months ago, I cannot fully access Facebook using either Safari or Firefox browsers. I have a Mac G5 running OSX 10.5.8, Safari 5.0.6 and Firefox 3.6.28. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can resolve this?
Aha, a PPC Mac!
The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a later version installed.

You appear to have an iPhone 5. Snipsnap 2.4.2, the current version, says it works on iPhone 5, iOS 5.0 or later. Why do you want an out of date version of the app?

Try to include the IDM cc version which works with firefox 4 tooo, like the all other older versions...
You might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side. -
I teach with a CMS program called ANGEL which is produced by BlackBoard. When I try to email students using ANGEL email I get an error message about script
Warning Unresponsive script:
A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
Script: https://angel.msu.edu/jscript/yahoo/utilities/utilities.js:9. Then if I click continue, it just does nothing, just goes into holding pattern. If I click stop script, it says the message was sent, but it doesn't actually send. I use a mac.
I desparately need to use this program. Can I please go back to the older version of Firefox. I believe the problem is with ANGEL, but I have no choice in that as the university sponsors it. Please Help!You can install the portable Firefox 3.6.x version to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.

Criteria or check when we see the error "You are using an older version of firefox"
Criteria or check when we see the error "You are using an older version of firefox that is no longer supported and may be insecure" on sites like facebook. Currently firefox 8.0 does not give this error but 3.5.4 does. What is the check performed by sites for this error?

I am currently using Firefox version 18.0 yet when I open Firefox, I always get this pop up message:
“This version of Firefox is not supported by Norton Confidential. You will not be protected while browsing the Web.
Norton Confidential cannot protect you while you use this version of Firefox. Phishing Protection requires Firefox 1.5 or later.”
Do you know what is causing this? This started when I updated to Firefox 16.0.2. Am I at risk?You may find information on Norton's own forums about this.
I am not sure that any protection against phishing provided by Norton is going to be better than the protection that Firefox offers by default.
* see http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/
I can not recommend that you downgrade to an earlier unsupported and insecure version of Firefox,because that WILL increase the security risks.

I used to be able to watch video clips off a streaming website, but it's been getting more difficult and now it no longer works. I suspect that my older Power PC G5 Mac is not compatible with the newer Firefox version of 3.6.24. I suspect that if I used an older version of Firefox with my system, I could get back to watching video clips. Would this work, and if so, where can I download an earler version of Firefox that would be compatible with my Mac and MacOs 10.5.8?
You might want to consider extending the lifespan of your G5 by using a different operating system. I put [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubuntu Lubuntu] on a G5 recently and it runs the newest Firefox just fine. Lubuntu (pronounced Loo-boon-two) is sort of an Ubuntu lite - a user-friendly version of Linux. There are many applications to choose from, and it's all free.
The PowerPC I did this on was one of the old Bondi Blue ones. Firefox had no problem running on it at all and has all plug-ins needed for video, audio, etc.. I gave it to a church and it's running fine for them.
You can download old versions of Firefox, but you'll just open yourself up to security problems if you do.
FYI: The Mac operating system is built on Linux. -
The recent version of Firefox apparently does not support/permit me to see/use the Yahoo toolbar. Therefore, I have to manually page back thru all of the yahoo pages I've visited to get back to the main page.
Also the recent version of Firefox apparently is not compatible with Kodak Gallery's functions; therefore use of my many photo albums stored online is no longer available.
Apparently I need to go back to an older version of Firefox or use another browser.Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

Specifically, I am trying to open brokerage statements with Charles Schwab. I go to the link using Firefox and click and all I get is a blank box with ABOUT: BLANK in the header at the top. Yet, I had no trouble viewing the statements with the older version of Firefox and I also have no problem viewing the document using Internet Explorer. Any help you can offer is appreciated. I would rather continue to use Firefox as my browser and not have to use IE.

Also I am not able to open a new dialogue window or tab by clicking on an online contact of mine.Known issue, See:

How do I get rid of the "using an older version of Firefox" start page when I am not?
When I start my browser (Firefox 8.0.1) it tells me I have not upgraded, but I have (10) times.
Thank you!! I know i explained it wrong. I meant that my Firefox start page always says, right under google search, in the middle of the page where firefox puts there little wording. "You are using an older version of firefox, update now". I already have the newest version of firefox but even if i download it again, to 8.0.1, it still says i am using an older version on the start page!!
Thanks again!! -
