Do I need to uninstall Firefox 4 and start over?
Firefox 4 upgrade worked for one user on my laptop, but not the other. All the features of the upgrade work for only one user.
Have you went to Settings>Store and sign out and sign back in?

Had a USB hub failure which crashed my computer. Got everything back up and running fine except for one site. The home page displays fine but when I punch up the ad page, only the mast head shows. I reverted to IE and it worked fine.

Uninstalling Leopard to start over
Does anyone know how to safely remove Leopard? It's been giving me internet issues and I would like to uninstall it and start over...
Not sure how to restore to Tiger and reinstall Leopard.
ThanksAllan,
Great of you to offer some help...I posted some things in the Internet and Networking thread, but have not been able to resolve the problem.
So, i'm running an up to date G5, firmware is most recent, plenty of ram and plenty of memory. I put Tiger on the machine a few days ago and everything went smoothly. (thankfully)
After everything power cycled and I started exploring, I noticed the internet was extremely slow. (56k modem slow) So after a little bit of searching and a call to tech support...I was told that I needed to update the firmware in my Linksys WRT54GS and disable the speedbooster in it...So I updated the firmware and found that i'm unable to disable the speedbooster. That was suppose to correct the problem. However, i'm still getting very low data in and out. (activity monitor)
Looking through the posts, i've seen some discussions that were similar to my problem and people mentioned that network preferences sometimes don't carry over well to Leopard and a host of other "here's what to do" type stuff.
None of which has improved my internet speeds. So, I thought I would try to reinstalling Leopard using the "erase" method this time. But I just wanted to make sure I did it properly as to avoid any subsequent problems. -
Many web sites have links to multiple PDF files. I have no trouble reading the first PDF file, but if I try to open a different one, I always get the first one I opened. Firefox ignores the other links and goes back to the first one. The only remedy seems to be to close Firefox and start over again. This is a hassle for sites requiring a username and password to enter. What's wrong here?
Do you have Adobe Reader X or Adobe Reader 9.something?
I think this is a problem with the newest version of Adobe Reader which came out about 5-6 days ago. -

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

I have been using Firefox for almost a year now,and had upgraded to Version 7 recently.
My problem started with the downloads.
1) When a download is to be commenced,a box appears with two options,namely "SAVE" and "CANCEL".
Even when I click on "SAVE",the the box shows it as 'cancelled'.When I right click on the box,another dialogue box appears with a number of choices ,the top one reads 'RETRY'.
When I click this option the download starts and it is shown in the chosen location until 99% is completed,bu the moment the download is complete,the item i.e. the downloaded item just disappears from the chosen location and is not traceable thereafter.This has happened to me repeatedly over the past week or so and I am so disgusted that I have been compelled to uninstall Firefox,and have started using Chrome.
Please help,as I would like to get back to using Firefox again but without the above problems.Understood. However, the point that I'm trying to make is that it's not the WiFi access point's security that's in question, it's having your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode that's in question. It's simple: if your phone's WiFi is on, then it is both discoverable and hackable... even when it's not connected to a WiFi network or access point. Here's an article about a drone in London that was created to hack smartphone WiFi signals (and hackers have been doing what this drone does for years):
http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/20/technology/security/drone-phone/
The point is that it's not secure to have your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode. It would be better for privacy and security if Apple made WiFi location aware so that it is only enabled when you are at a trusted location (e.g. your home or office). Or, at least give us the option of location aware WiFi so that each user can determine the best mode for their phone:
(1) Always-On (current default - not secure and many privacy issues).
(2) Trusted mode (only on at trusted locations).
(3) Off. -
After I updated to 3.6.8 I started noticing on a game I play at UniversalCriminal.com that randomly when I click on a link, firefox will load the appropriate page and as soon as it finishes loading that page it will refresh or reload the same page. It doesn't happen on any particular link it just happens randomly, and not all the time but most of the time. I tried reverting back to an earlier version of firefox but it still happened. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled the latest version but it still happens. It doesn't do it with IE or Chrome or Opera. What gives? Any ideas anyone?
I see that you ave changed some network.http prefs.<br />
Doing that can cause all kinds of problems because not all servers like such changes, so you can try to reset those prefs on the about:config page.<br />

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

When i open my Firefox and start typing an address it disspears and when i press enywhere else it appears again. This happens all the time!! I have installed the uprgrade and also done a virus check everything seems ok! I need a solution cause mozilla is the browser that matches me best!
Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
'''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem. -

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps to install Firefox.
You may need to re-download a new Firefox copy.

Firefox is preventing me from going on line and receiving complete e-mails, including graphics. There is a continuing error message on allowing Firefox to update my computer, but then telling me that I must close the application before it can do that. To the best of my knowledge, the application isn't open. Short of shutting down my computer, how do I close this application? I was advised to uninstall Firefox and then re-install, but I cannot run that Wizard because the application is apparently open. Looking for help in closing the application.

I recently updated the add-on StumbleUpon which offered a tool bar. Since then I do not get the line which has the URL space as well as other functions. I am now forced to use IE. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled but get the same startup page. What else can I do short of using system restore to a prior date?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== when I last updated add-ons.This issue can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar extension

I attempted to open Firefox as usual and when I clicked on the icon nothing happened. I uninstalled Firefox and then reinstalled. It said that the download for Firefox was successful but it still does not open. When I click on Firefox it now just says to upgrade Firefox. What should I do to get Firefox up and running again. I have a Mac and my Safari is linking me just fine to the internet so Apple says it is not a Mac problem but a Firefox problem.
I notice you turned off the setting that diverts new windows to a new tab. Since the new window will open in front of your current tab, it may appear that the current tab was closed, when in fact it is behind the new window. This hard to explain in words.
Do you want to switch the setting?
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs
Check the box for "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
Does that help? -
