Earlier version of Firefox could restrict searches to Great Britain but my current version allows searches worldwide. Can you advise how I can restore this restriction.

I need to restrict the searches on the web to Gt Britain only and nt the rest of the world.

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
* Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.co.uk/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
* Google "Browse by Name": http://www.google.co.uk/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
On the results page of the www.google.co.uk site there is an item in the menu at the left side to restrict the results to UK: Pages from the UK
*http://www.google.co.uk/webhp?tbs=ctr:countryUK%7CcountryGB&cr=countryUK%7CcountryGB

Every time I open Firefox I get a new page with an ad for Walmart I can't seem to stop it from happening. It doesn't do this with any of my other browsers, however I prefer Firefox.. can you suggest how I can stop this from happening.

I have to close this "other page" before I can use Firefox
It's annoying and is preventing me from using Firefox as my regular browser which I would prefer to do.
Also any scans I've made with virus or hidden ads has come up negative.
I'm at a loss to fix this.
Can you help?

Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy. '''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)''''' These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.

Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0 I keep getting the error message "THERE WAS APROBLEM SENDING THE COMMAND TO THE PROGRAM", please can you advise how I get it to stop?

I have just upgraded to Firefox 4.0 and ever since then I get this message when I try to go to either Yahoo or Gmail
"THERE WAS A PROBLEM SENDING THE COMMAND TO THE PROGRAM",
I had this problem a month or so ago so downgraded to Firefox 3.6 and the problem went away but have now been advised to upgrade which indeed I have and hey presto the error message again, please how can I fix it??

OK, you seem to be running Zone Alarm as your firewall. It includes a utility which checks to see whether a site is safe or not and also adds a plugin to Firefox which is listed as '''npFFApi'''. Can you disable that and see if it makes any difference?
To get to the plugins manager, click the orange Firefox button, then click "Add-ons". In the page that opens, click the "Plugins" link on the left which will open the menu. Then find '''npFFApi '''and click the "''Disable''" button.

Liar Firefox: I have download and install Acrobat Reader 11.0.0 few minutes ago and Firefox still telling lies that Acrobat has in not current version.

Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
See here:
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
Let us know how that works for you.

Since installing the newest version of Firefox 4.0, I am unable to access my work e-mail which uses Lotus Domino Web Access. Can anyone please tell me how to correct this problem?

Sheesh. That looks hard. I think it will fall over at this point:
"Connect to my Exchange mailbox using HTTP" 'cos Thunderbird uses only the regular email protocols: POP, IMAP and SMTP.
Here (at work) we have in the past have had IMAP and SMTP enabled on our Exchange server so Thunderbird could then connect just like to any other regular internet-based service.
With the change here to outlook365/outlook 2010 I've had to switch to using DavMail which lets Thunderbird talk to the mail server using OWA.
I haven't (seriously) tried Exquilla. Whilst I have great respect for its author and some of his other add-ons, I saw no reason to use an add-on that required payment when DavMail works for free.

HI, I need to jre 1.6 update 26 on my mac system to make some aaplication work. However latest available is jre 1.6 update 29. Could you suggest how I can get jre 1.6 update 26? I tried downloading older version on java. COuldn't find it on your site.

What are you missing?
I inherited this app and signing the third party jars is how it was setup, I was wondering the same thing too, why was it necessary to sign the third party jars?
The applet runs in either JRE 1.6.0_13 or JRE 1.6.0_27 depending on the other Java apps the user uses. JRE 1.6.0_13 does not have the mixed code security (so it is like is disable), but JRE 1.6.0_27 does have the mixed code security and the applet will not launch with mixed code security enable, so we have to disable it. With all the hacking going on in the last two years, is important to improve security; so this is a must.
Yes, I always clear up the cache.
Any idea on how to resolve this problem?

I use the old version of firefox and have tried the new one BUT on the new one the down arrow next to the forward/back buttons is not there. I need to have this so I can return to several pages ago, please tell me if the new version has this feature

Old versions have a down arrow next to the front and back buttons to show all the pages you have visiteed and can return to but the new version does not have this feature

( Windows) right click the arrows and the listing will appear. The change may well be documented somewhere but if so I do not recall where. Presumably other OS such as Mac's will also have the feature using some other shortcut.
If this solves your problem please '''log in''' and then click the solved button, the question and answer will then display in search results and should help others.

My PowerBook-G4 operating system software - Mac OS X 10.5.8 - does not meet minimum requirements for downloading the latest version of FireFox ... is there an Update for a newer version of my op.sys. software, or, what is a better choice of an Upgrade?

Thanx!

The best maintained PowerPC browser at the moment is TenFourFox:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
It is a Mac port of a newer version of FF thatn any PowerPC Mac can support natively. It runs, looks and feel like FF.
I found some add-ons that helped TFF with speed issues. Pleae see my post in another PPC forum:
FYI: Speed-up for TenFourFox on PowerPC

The latest version of Firefox forces me to turn off my McAfee that I get with my AT&T DSL. How can it resolve this?

When I download the latest version of Firefox it forces me to turn off my McAfee that I get with AT&T DSL. How can I run firefox and McAfee at the same time

The McAfee Site Advisor add-on for Firefox is the only thing that would be disabled, everything else related to McAfee should work just fine. Plus, you don't really need that extension at all, as it duplicates features that have been a part of Firefox for over 3 years now. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/
That add-on is blocklisted by Mozilla due to that Site Advisor extension being the #2 cause of crashing the Firefox 5.0 betas. McAfee was notified of the problem long before that extension was added to the blocklist. Now it is up to them to fix it, and they better be close to a solution as Firefox 6.0 will be released in another 10 days - I wonder if they're gonna be ready for that version, too. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/ 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660111
My advice is to switch to a free AV application which doesn't install silly garbage like that Site Advisor to begin with and save your self the grief it brings with it.

JD3.* could connecting Oracle database 5.05 but not new version

Dear Sir,
JD3.* could connecting Oracle database 8.05 but not new version of Oracle_Database at all(8I and 9I in OTN version), but could run on Borland JBuilder.
Error message : IOException
Could you tell me, help me too.

(This week in Openworld and and email: [email protected])

Steve -- My guess would be that you need to upgrade your JDBC drivers for your client program. They are downloadable from OTN. I expect that JBuilder has its own JDBC drivers which are newer than what you have and that is why it does not have a problem.
Thanks -- Jeff

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

I have Firefox 5, but need to downgrade to 3.5 or 3.6, how do I do this? Can you help me please? It is important to finish something I am working on.

If you need that older version to access specific websites then you can install the portable Firefox 3.6.19 version to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.

Hi Johnfromglenver,
There are no Mac drivers for the HP Officejet K60 printer. Therefore it is not compatible with the Mac operating systems. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www.hp.com/cgi-bin/hpsupport/index.pl. There may be other solutions that could work for you.
I hope this information helps.

I've been advised by Firefox to download a software update, but upon downloading, the bar with green lines running across it with the message 'Connecting to the update server' is just going on indefinitely; can you advise on this?

I was advised by Firefox to download and install an important software update. But the bar with green lines running across and saying 'connecting to the update server is going on indefinitely (about an hour now). Can you advise?
With Thanks,
Martin

Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder. 
You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.
XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
(%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version. 
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Earlier version of Firefox could restrict searches to Great Britain but my current version allows searches worldwide. Can you advise how I can restore this restriction.
