Firefox 27.0.1 on a Mac OS 10.9.2 the button to enable javascript is missing
I am having a problem with the BBC iPlayer playing in a separate pop-out player. Their support people have asked me to check that javascript running is enabled.
In the Preferences content tab there is no button to enable Javascript, in fact the Preference screen looks nothing like the picture on the support sites.
I have found that other preference items have moved in Mavericks after I upgraded and I would be pleased if you could tell me how to get Firefox working properly again. FYI I have no problem with the pop-out issue with Chrome or Safari

If you use extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

I went to the website and it said it downloaded, but when I click on the button in my Toolbar, nothing happens. I seen on a search engine that they make "Print Friendly" for Firefox now. Can you tell me where to find it, how to put the button in my Toolbar? I must be doing something or not doing something for it not to be working for me. I am not real computer friendly but I'm not a beginner either. So if you dont mind Please explain to me how to fix this issue in relatively easy step by step instructions. Thank you for your time, Sheybiker

Last time (a few weeks ago) I had to uninstall firefox and reinstall it. Today I moved the last version to the trash and reinstalled the new version, but it still won't work. I obviously can't do this every time there is a new update. When I click on firefox, the icon bounces in the dock (like it's trying to open), and then nothing happens.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to 3.6.7 today ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_4; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16Same issue - however firefox will open but I can not click on only of my tool bar shortcuts - the writing on the google age is greyed out so I can not click on anything. Still no resolution? I have deleted the folders and re-installed - it will open and then locks and it will not work????

Why is Firefox 4 slowing down my whole Mac? I am not the only one.
My whole Mac Book Pro (five years old running Snow Leopard 10.6.7) has been slowed down. I know someone with a 3 month old Mac Book Pro that is having the same problem. Every aspect of my computer slows down so badly when Firefox is open. I saved a copy of Firefox 3.6.16 just in case thank goodness. I am using it now without a problem. I read you know about this at a Mac Chat Site, and are working on a fix. But I read nothing about it here.
I'm posting another screen shot. This browser is eating up memory like crazy. I have 5 tabs open when this happened. If I try to use another App, it is really slowed down too.

Firefox is not letting me open another tab when I click the button or the 'new tab' in file. I have restarted my computer, installed an update, and I still have the same problem browsing.
In past threads, this problem has been linked with the Ask toolbar.

The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
Another possibility is to use:

I'm currently trying to update a few programs on my good old (VERY old) Mac Powerbook, but I ran into an error when downloading Firefox version 3.6...I'm currently running Mac OS X 10.3.9, which isn't compatible with the most recent versions of Firefox (or anything, for that matter), but it should still allow an upgrade of version 3.6; however, once the file finished downloading, an error message popped up indicating there's a corrupt image file. Is there any way to work around/correct this problem, or am I stuck with my old version of Firefox until I bite the bullet and upgrade my OS??? Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Firefox 3.6 requires at least OS X 10.4, the last version of Firefox that runs on OS X 10.3.9 is Firefox 2.0.0.20 available from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/

My Mac assures me that I am connected to the internet, using Airport and also ethernet, but Safari never gives me a home page. Can I download Firefox onto a disk using my Windows PC and then take the disk to the Mac and upload Firefox to use on the Mac ?
You can grab a "full" installer (.dmg file) from this page (scroll down to your preferred language):

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.

I'm running an older Mac tower-running 10.4.11. Firefox will not support this OS after a while. Don't thing I can install newer Mac OS(10.5) on this machine. There's some talk about installing Linux OS but takes me to confusing Wikipedia page.
So, do I need to spend $$$ and purchase a new Mac computer?Hi Markho47,
You might want to look at the [http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ TenFourFox project]. It is a fork of Firefox that supports older versions of Mac OSX.
Hopefully this helps! -
Facebook (FB) recently restructured their website. After logging on to my FB homepage, some of the graphics are garbled and I am no longer able to post status updates, comment on friend's status updates or pictures, or post pictures using Firefox version 2.0.0.20. I would like to know if there is a newer version of Firefox that will function with a Mac G3 Blue and White desktop running OS 10.3.9 which will be compatible with the new FB? I would upgrade my computer, but have 22+ years of business and tax records that will not function with the newer Mac OS.

How do I see, sort and delete unsorted bookmarks in Firefox 3.6.6? Using Mac OS X 10.5.8. All bookmarks not in folders already seem to be in a lump called unsorted bookmarks in the Library but I can't open this to see them. I have deleted some from the bookmarks menu via the blue star it does not work with sites without an icon. pls help
I have this same problem. I want the ability to remove links from the unsorted bookmarks or the entire category altogether.
If there is no resolution, I could delete all Firefox files after saving my important bookmarks to Safari then come back and reload Firefox.
Why Mozilla does not take this concern whole heartily I do not know.
I have seen complaint about this dating back over two years. -
I cannot update my firefox. I am running on MAC OS X 10.6.8.
I cannot update my firefox. I am running on MAC OS X 10.6.8. I will begin the update process but it will never complete it - often crashes before it finishes the process. Any recommendations?
If there are 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 disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 17.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

How do I fix incorrect resolution for Firefox user interface on Retina display Mac?
I have a 15" retina display Mac (roughly a year old) running Mountain Lion. A couple weeks ago the user interface in Firefox seems have switched from using the normal zoom level of every other application to the native dpi of the retina display monitor. This means that the UI elements are all extremely tiny, etc. Is there anyway to reset this without simply reinstalling or reseting the rest of my configuration?
Currently running Firefox 27.0.You can try to modify the gfx.hidpi.enabled pref on the <b>about:config</b> page (<=0: disable; 1:all screens same res; >1:enable always).
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to 1.0 and if necessary adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx starting from 1.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) to make icons show correctly.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
See also:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/forum-response-Zoom-feature-on-Firefox-22
Use an extension to adjust the text size in the user interface and the page zoom in the browser window.
You can look at this extension to adjust the font size for the user interface.
*Theme Font & Size Changer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/
You can look at the Default FullZoom Level or NoScript extension if web pages need to be adjusted after changing layout.css.devPixelsPerPx.
*Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
