Firefox 3.6.1 is reading at Firefox 2.0

I recently updated my browser from Firefox 2.0 to the latest version, Firefox 3.6.1. I had neglected to update for awhile, and since not everything was running correctly, I went ahead and installed the new browser.
However, my computer still thinks I'm running 2.0.
I've cleared my cache, deleted all my cookies, and removed from my computer anything that had anything to do with Firefox 2.0.
However, when open up a new tab and check (javascript:document.write(navigator.userAgent)), it still tells me I'm running 2.0, even though my "About Mozilla Firefox" info says 3.6.1.
As a result, I'm unable to access a few websites because my browser, supposedly, isn't updated.

Can no longer select text in email template or read only field with mouse using IE or Firefox?

Hi Guys,
I can no longer select text in email template or read only field using my mouse in IE or Firefox anymore. We are using CRM 2011 rollup 18 applied with IE 11 and the latest version of Firefox. We only applied roll up 18 in Feb when this issue began.
Thanks

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
These features rely on JavaScript, and it sounds as though you have scripting enabled if you get (the wrong) color changes. Some add-ons might alter the way scripts operate, so a standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
If those features work correctly, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
To also disable plugins, you can use this page:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Plugins category
Any change?

Since I updated firefox to version 24.0 today, I can no longer read my email messages on my Yahoo or Verizon email websites.

I can get to the email websites for Yahoo and Verizon. But when I click on an email to read it, I get the error message "There appears to be a problem loading the email". This only started today when I updated to Firefox version 24.0. I'm still running Firefox version 22.0 on my work computer and I do not have any problems reading my email on my Yahoo and Verizon email websites from that computer.

Thank you! I cleared the cache and only deleted the cookies from the yahoo and verizon sites. This fixed my issue and I can read my email again now. Thank you so much Waka_Flocka_Flame and cor-el!

In trying to update I received this message: Firefox 3.6.3(2).dmg.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.

In trying to download an update I first received: "There were problems checking for, downloading, or installing this update. Firefox could not be updated because: No data was received (please try again)" It also gave a link to download manually. When I tried from the Firefox website I got: /Users/(deleted for privacy)/Desktop/Firefox 3.6.3(2).dmg.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.
Try again later, or contact the server administrator. I tried this 3 times.

I have tried downloading the file several times and get the same message: "No data received." I have no other system problems, I navigate well to other sites, but I'm unable to download this upgrade. Any suggestions?

Establishment of a secure "sign" ID in Adobe Acrobat 9.5.3 prevents reading PDFs in Firefox 18.0.2 under windows XP, sp3.

Sign ID installed, could no longer read PDFs in Firefox. Deleted sign ID in Acrobat, can now read PDFs in Firefox. What gives?

I think, but I'm not sure because the forum database is a bit glitchy today, that your question was answered in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/950806 error message: this adobe acrobat/reader canot be used to view PDF files in a browser].

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Hello, recently I read in an article that the Skype plugin for Firefox was banned so I went to uninstall the plugin but it would not allow me; What do I do, how do I get rid of the plugin?

to try to uninstall it manually, I went to computer > Uninstall or change a program > "selected" the skype toolbar and then selected unistall but then it comes back with an error message saying "the folder path 'entire copy' contains an invalid character.'

Hi,
You can try to [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ download the latest full installer] and upgrade. Please make sure to right-click the file and '''Run as administrator''' to begin the upgrade installation.
You may also want to [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information?s=backup&r=1&e=sph&as=s backup] personal data/folder. Firefox stores the personal profile/data separate from its internal files. [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder & Files]

The latest update to Firefox 3.6.14 has twice closed and disabled the program so that it will not re-start. Instead I get a message reading "The application was unable to start correctly (0x0000056). Click OK to close the application"

The error console suggests that there is a missing semicolon in the code. It's unclear whether this is in the Firefox code or the Java script code, or for that matter whether it's the source of the problem. In any event the only way both times I have been able to get Firefox to work again is to download and reinstall it again. How can I stop this cycle and get Firefox to update correctly? My computer runs Windows 7, 64-bit.

I was almost driven crazy by this problem. My Premiere CS6 displays error 0xc000007b exactly like your situation. I tried every method on the internet but none of them worked.
Including copying the msvcr100.dll to the Premiere folder. Nothing happened.
But this one sounds reasonable, comparing to some guess like video card problem or something.
Since I don't use ilivid or something like this. So I thought maybe there was some file else which my computer lacked.
But I don't know what it is.
Then I got an idea.
Here is what I did:
Copy all the AE CS6 .dll file in "Support Files" folder.
Backup all the .dll files in Premiere CS6 folder.
Paste and replace them all!
Then I found that Premiere Pro was able to start up. But unfortuately, it stopped in half.
Well. Maybe I shouldn't click "replace".
So I went back to the backup folder. Copied the origin .dll files.
Paste and replace again!
That's equal to choose "Not replace" at the first time.
Now everything came back to normal.
I want to get a sleep.

How do I get firefox to open a pdf in adobe instead of the new pdf reader?

Before the recent update, 19.0, I would google something and see [PDF] next to a link. I click the middle mouse button to open it in a new tab. Firefox would download the file and open it with Adobe Reader. I like this.
With the new update 19.0, the pdf file would be opened in the new tab. I have to go and down load it and then open it in Adobe. I don't like this.
I go into preferences under applications. I look to see if I can change this. Next to Adobe Reader document, I choose Use Adobe Reader, but when I click on a [PDF] link, it still opens the file in Firefox and not Adobe.
I want it back to the way it was.

You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the about:config page to disable the build-in PDF viewer and use the Adobe Reader instead.

Full screen auto-hide feature does not work with Adobe Acrobat Reader add-on 11.0.0.379 in Firefox 17.01.

"Full screen" menu item and its keyboard short cut F11 stop working with Acrobat Reader. The Firefox top edge border does not hide once you have moved around in the Acrobat document. Therefore it is not possible to display PDF documents in a true full screen mode within Firefox. The auto-hide full screen mode works nicely with other Firefox windows, so apparently the Acrobat Reader add-on breaks the feature. Windows 7 64-bit.

From the JS API Reference of the print method:
Non-interactive printing can only be executed during batch, console, and menu
events.
Outside of batch, console, and menu events, the values of bUI and of interactive are ignored
and a print dialog box will always be presented.

I cannot get adobe to download most recent flash or reader for Firefox nor can I find a plug-in for either

After my laptop crashed the second day of class, I had to send it away for repair for 8-12 weeks. I have had to reset it up from scratch and have set-up Firefox. There is a online college math program that they recommend using Firefox with. In the past I have never had a problem with Adobe anything. The program also requires the newest Adobe Flash Player and Reader. I have repeatedly tried downloading, rebooting and restarting the the downloaded .exe files for both (making sure there is only one version running at a time in the file folder and in task manager background). I have used all possible settings for adobe products permissions to work across all firewall, antivirus, web protection, Mozilla and my computer systemin general, even Internet Explorer (Hate it).
The files download to my downloads file folder through Firefox, however, when I double-click to install them I get the "Do you want to run", "yes", then "Windows smartscreen is unavailable do you want to run anyway, "Yes", then absolutely nothing happens. No wizards, no installing, nothing or I get a "Only one single instance of this file must run." and again nothing. Tried it with nothing open, but the "install" and with the browser open. Neither works. It's usually listed in |Task Manager Background apps, but uses no memory, no CPU, nothing.
I've also tried contacting the school program's IT division (3 hours) nothing, the program itself's IT department (2 hours and they disconnected me) or the best anyone could offer was use another browser. Can't get the only other option, Chrome, to work on my computer at all! I've tried all Mozilla and Adobe support/knowledge bases/zines, etc... I'm just a Joe schmo not a developer or IT person and a 4 finger typist at best. What I am is 2 weeks behind in my online class and ready to pitch the f#$***g thing across the room. I was able to borrow a laptop from a friend until I got mine back, but that isn't an option anymore.
Also tried finding an older version - no luck, All support sites keep telling me to find the Firefox "Adobe Plug-in" and just update from there. I have searched all Mozilla Plug-ins, add-ons, etc... but nothing, just download(s) for non-adobe flash players that the math program won't use. No matter How much I try to get it to.
AUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Help.

For Flash, could you try downloading the "full" installers from this page:
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
In the first table, there are two rows for Windows: one for the ActiveX control for IE, and one for the plugin for Firefox. You might want to grab both. And try the .msi files instead of the .exe files to see whether those work better.
Will either of those install?
It's odd that on a newly rebuilt system your More System Details shows that you have a user.js file, which is an optional settings files used to override your previous session settings. This is not part of the standard Firefox installation, so if you did not create that file yourself, you may want to investigate or delete it. This article has more information on that: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].

how can i open my gmail at mozilla firefox? because i cant open it..

Why is it that everytime I try to download Firefox 4 my Adobe reader can't open it because it is a damaged file? Because of this I am not able to download it. Not sure I want to since I see so many other people having problems with it.

I will start the process of downloading Firefox 4 and then get the message that my Adobe Reader can't open the file because it is damaged or sent through an e mail. I was not in my e mail when I tried to download the update. This isn't the first time that this has happened. I gave up downloading updates in the past just because I would encounter this same problem.

When you start the download, are you chooseing Save or Run?

Google Reader's right frame (where all of the headlines and content goes) is not visible in Firefox (10.0.1) on my Mac (10.6.8). How do I fix this? (It works fine in Safari)

As the question says, I cannot read the content in the right frame in Google Reader. This was also a problem when I was using Firefox 9.0.1. It was definitely not a problem prior to the Christmas holidays, so I don't know if it has something to do with new updates either Firefox or Google has made (I posted on their forum as well).

Both your Conduit Engine, particularly, and Alexa Toolbar are known troublemakers. I would advise Googling both for advice and removal instructions.
I'm not sure it is a good idea to have both Foxit and Adobe Reader.

Firefox 3.6.1 is reading at Firefox 2.0
