You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing".
See [[Private Browsing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing

Fire Fox wont work with UTorrent

Since installing Fire Fox I am not able to use UTorrent for download - Fire Fox wont accept Torch as well whats srong?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

When I open fire fox and open uther lings I'm geting masage that fire fox is not resonding and some time loads after a while and some time not.

When I open fire fox and start opening tabs it tell me that fire fox is not responding and after a while some time will open and some time not. What can I do to correct this. If I need to reload the fire fox let me know how I don't wont to loose all my book marks. Thank you for your help.

Try to update to Firefox 24 (just been released).
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Fire fox loads some websites and not others. Clearing cache and history doesn't help.

Fire fox loads some websites and not others. Pages that don't load in Firefox do load in other browsers. Clearing cache and history doesn't help.
One of the websites that doesn't load is google.com! It loads some of the page, just some menu items at the top of the page. Then, it hangs and remains in the Loading state (with the spinning wheel and "Loading" in the tab) indefinitely.
The problem started after 3.6.11 was installed. I'm on Mac OS 10.6.4.
I would be happy if you just showed me where I can download 3.6.10. Also, is there anything special I have to do if installing an older version?

I ended up going into the clear history settings and setting it to clear history when Firefox closes and chosing it to clear history and cooking and browsing history when Firefox closes. Now the links work fine and the last page I was looking at before I closed Firefox is no longer there when it opens again. Problem solved!

FIRE FOX IS GETTING SLOWER AND SLOWER LOADING PAGES I GO TO ONLINE. IT LOAD CIRCLE STOP SPINNING AND WILL START BACK BUT IT TAKES IT'S TIME TO DO SO. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON THROUGH THE LAST SEVERAL UPGRADES.

FIRE FOX USED TO BE A FAST BROWSER BUT IT IS GETTING SLOWER AND SLOWER. THE BLUE-E IS ABOUT TO THE POINT OF BEING FASTER THEM THE FOX. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKE THE FOX, JUST WANT TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM WITH IT AND THE LONGER I HAVE THE WINDOW OPEN ARE UP THE WORSE IT GETS. I DO A LOT OF GAMING ON FACEBOOK PLAYING MAFIA WARS BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT LIMITED TO JUST THERE IT IS ALL THE TIME AND EVERY WHERE. I HAVE TRIED ADD-ON'S THINKING THEY MAY HELP BUT NOTHING HAS DONE ANY GOOD. CHROME IS TWICE IF NOT THREE
TIMES AS FAST AS THE FOX LATELY ON LOADING PAGES.

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

When will fire fox bu back up and running i am at a loss without it

why is fire fox down and how long until it is back up and running

OK, thank for the update. The next step is to setup the AirPort Express to extend the signal from the AirPort Extreme using Ethernet
If the Express is powered up, power it off for a full minute
Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously power up the Express. This is tricky...you almost need 3 hands to do this.
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
I assume that you have already tested the Ethernet cable to verify that it is working correctly
Connect the Ethernet cable to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Express
Open AirPort Utility on your Mac
Select the AirPort Express and click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab below the row of icons
Type in a name that you want to call the AirPort Express
Type in a device password for the Express
Verify the password
Set time automatically and choose your Time Zone
No other boxes need to be adjusted
Click the Wireless tab
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Exact same name as the AirPort Extreme network
Radio Mode = Automatic
Radio Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = WPA2 or the same setting as the AirPort Extreme
Wireless Password = Same password as the AirPort Extreme network
Verify Password
Click the Internet icon
Click the Internet Connection tab
Change the setting for Connection Sharing to Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update at the lower right of the window
Wait a full minute for the Express to restart
You are done

I updated Fire Fox to 5.0 and now my get mail button is gone. How do I get it back?

I updated fire fox to 5.0 now my get mail button is gone.
how do i get it back?
the extension that gave it to me is not compatible with FF 5.o.
where do i go to find a get mail extension that is?

Install the new version of GetMail. <br />
http://webdesigns.ms11.net/getmail.html
That extension isn't hosted an AMO, which makes it a lot harder (and more expensive) for the developer of that extension to provide automatic updates for that extension.
''"beer" fund donations probably wouldn't cover the costs for secure HTTPS web host costs, which would make automatic updates possible, IMO''

How do I download fire fox ver 5.0 and NOT 6.0

My bank on line system requires fire fox 5.o. That is the version I need to down load and NOT 6.0

Install the new version of GetMail. <br />
http://webdesigns.ms11.net/getmail.html
That extension isn't hosted an AMO, which makes it a lot harder (and more expensive) for the developer of that extension to provide automatic updates for that extension.

I can't download fire fox at all, any and all help appericated

i can't seem to download fire fox at all, i was having trouble with it, so i removed it, and figured that i would re download it, now i can't get it to download , it down loads but doesn't install

From my end, I can see that you used Firefox to post that question, can I please confirm this.

When Imopen Fire Fox, I get google and Fire Fox's page. I have tried all fixes, no luck

When I open Fire fox I get 2 tabs. One is Google my Homepage and the other is Fire fox's page. I have tried all fixes under help and suggestions with no luck?
Also I want a new page to open in a Tab. I set it to and it defaults back to new window. Also tried all fixes? I have been using Fire fox since day1, I know it pretty well, never had a problem.
Thank You
Doug

Suspect it has "dozed" off. Can we get your event viewer logs
Please provide us with your Event Viewer administrative logs by following these steps:
Click Start Menu
Type eventvwr into Search programs and files (do not hit enter)
Right click eventvwr.exe and click Run as administrator
Expand Custom Views
Click Administrative Events
Right click Administrative Events
Save all Events in Custom View As...
Save them in a folder where you will remember which folder and save as Errors.evtx
Go to where you saved Errors.evtx
Right click Errors.evtx -> send to -> compressed (zipped) folder
Upload the .zip file to Onedrive or a file sharing service and put a link to it in your next post
If you have updated to win 8.1 and you get the error message "the system cannot find the file specified" it is a known problem.
The work around is to edit the registry. If you are not comfortable doing this DONT. If you are, backup the key before you do
Press Win+"R" and input regedit
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels. Delete "Microsoft-Windows-DxpTaskRingtone/Analytic"

Fire fox wont start, when I go to upgrade firefox asks to shut down firefox but is no opened and visible, the task manager says it is in the system but not in the applications running.

Firefox wont open, When i go to upgrade through explorer it starts to upgrade but says firefox is running and must be shut down.
it is nowhere to be seen, Task manager says it is not in the applications but it can be seen on the processes column.

HAVE SAME PROBLEM WITH FIREFOX, ALSO WITH IE-8. HAVE TALKED TO TECH AT IE-8 SAYS MY SIDE FINE. HAVE FOR 2 WEEKS TO DOWNLOAD FROM MOVIEPRO.NET. AND MY TIME RAN OUT TO DOWNLOAD MOVIES.

I HAVE WROTE TO MOVIEPRO.NET 12 PLUS TIMES AND THEY WILL NOT WRITE BACK.
SO IS IT MOVIEPRO.NET OR FIREFOX. OR IE-8
HAY IF YOU PAY US $140.00 WE WILL TELL YOU HOW TO UNCHECK 2 BOXES AND HAVE A NICE DAY..
AND WHEN YOUR COMPUTER REBOOTS, ALL THAT IS HISTORY

This report also contains technical information about the state of the application when it crashed.</nowiki></pre>

Did you try the steps John99 gave you above?
These are a few basic things you want to make sure you do.
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. you can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.
And, it does look like this crash is known and is being investigated by the Firefox development team. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591513 Bug 591513]. There has been new information posted on that bug in the past few days.
I do see alot of McAfee stuff in there, if you try uninstalling McAfee, or at least removing McAfee extensions, does it still crash? Try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]].
Basically, as much information as you can give and the more troubleshooting steps you can try, the more we can help, espicially as this looks like it might be a bug in Firefox. We can then pass that information on to the developers to get a fix released. Right now it looks like they have limited information or even what causes the crash :(

Fire fox wont open?

I was on Firefox and I had to swtich a privacy setting to remember history instead of don't remember. In order to do that the site had to restart Firefox. Every since it restarted I am unable to open firefox. Ill click and the wheel will spin like its loading for a few seconds and then nothing will happen, as if I didn't even push the icon. I tires to safe mode and all of that but nothing seems to work so far.

Do you recall what site you were on? Normally websites don't make such specific settings recommendations or have the ability to restart your browser.
What OS are you running (Windows, Mac, Linux)?
