Firefox 3.6.16 contained threat WS.Reputation.1 and lock up this version of the Browser. I had to use IE to download Firefox 4.0. Are you aware of this issue?

The auto update downloaded version 3.6.16, but it locked up my browser and I had to restart. Each time I tried to open my browser with this version, it locked up and I couldn't close it. I had to install FireFox 4.0 through Internet Explorer. My Norton's said I had picked up an infected file: C:\program files\Mozilla Firefox\plugin-container.exe. contained threat WS.Reputation.1.

I figured I'd comment on this because my family has been having this problem (I keep on saying "cancel" whenever it prompts me to download 3.6.16 because of it).
I did some research on the WS.Reputation.1 plugin-container.exe problem and found that it was happening last year with updates, too. To fix that problem, people took the quarantined file and restored it- I was hesitant to do this because I wasn't sure if it was a virus or not.
I took it out of quarantine on a family computer and right away firefox started working again. Again, I do NOT know if the file is a virus but by doing research I found that it is not, it is only recognized as such by Norton. This seems to be a recent problem and I don't want to take ownership for saying how I fixed the problem because, again, I do not know if WS.Reputation.1 is really a virus but all indications are that it is not. I hope this at least helps some of you. There have been no problems since I took it out of quarantine and restored it. Good luck everyone.

That essentially means that there's been no videos or slideshows added to the project as each of those items will create a button to play. What have you added to the project?

Have been using Firefox for years, but downloaded BearShare and now it has taken over the browser. Deleted it but still have it on start page. Tried downloading firefox again and again but its still there. Cannot access my bookmarks or anything else on

Cannot delete BearShare tool bar from top of Mozilla browser.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a day or two ago ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16

Hello Joe.
If BearShare is an extension, you can go into ''Tools > Add-ons > Extensions'' to disable or uninstall it.
If it's a plugin, go into ''Tools > Add-ons > Plugins'', where you can disable it. To uninstall it completely, you need to contact its author for support, as it's done outside the browser. In case it's a plugin.
I hope this helps.

I updated to Firefox 5, "about Firefox" shows the new version in the browser window, but my shortcut buttons still show "Firefox 4.0 Beta 10"

I updated to Firefox 5, under the help button in the browser "about Firefox" shows the new version, but my shortcut buttons on my monitor still show "Firefox 4.0 Beta 10". Most updates also update the shortcut buttons. Is there a way I can do this?

I just updated to Firefox 5. About Firefox shows me no version number at all. I had to look at Help > Troubleshooting Information to see the version number.
Update: I saw the version number after changing themes. I guess it depends on what theme you use.

For the last week I have had difficulty getting into the Familysearch website with Firefox. It comes up with connection reset. This problem does not occur with either internet explorer or Google chrome. Are you aware of this?

I was told this problem is likely because of an update in coding which IE can read, but Firefox has yet to implement. Is this correct, and if so will it be rectified soon. I much prefer using Firefox than going between to the two search engines as I am having to do at present. Sometimes the home page comes out and the connection times out when processing the request, other times I can't even load the home page

The website's link you provided isn't working here either. Contact the Website's Developers about this issue.

Are you experiencing Content Viewer issues on your computer ?

Hello
Since yesterday, the COntent Viewer has serious issues here, when a document is hcnage, if I click on preview, most of the times nothing happens, changes cannot be seen. CAn't find any logic, sometimes it works, but most of the times, it just doesn't.I have to close program and run it again in order to preview things correctccly and as you may guess, it takes lot of time and can't carry on this way.
So I was wondeing if someone had similar issues before I have to reinstall.
THanx !

I gotta ask....are you up-to-date with all the versions? > YES
How's it working today? > SAME THING AS POSTED
Are all articles experiencing problems? Or just one? > ALL
Is the stuff working out okay on your iPad? > YES
Is the update process in Folio Builder working out smoothly? > TAKES REALLY LONG ....
More info is always a good thing! I believe I might have seen a post from someone that was also having problems a day or two ago, but they went away. Could be server issues....? > MAY BE !!!!
THANX !

Firefox opens in a tiny window and won't resize. Only the upper right had corner displays.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program but I still get the same window that displays the minimize, restore and exit buttons. Exit and minimize work but restore is not available. Resize does not work. I can't get to any controls within the program to make any changes or run a troubleshooter.

Try to rename (or delete) the xulstore.json file in the Firefox profile folder.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
You can also try to delete the current Firefox desktop shortcut and create a new shortcut.

Is it possible to export my bookmarks from Firefox and import to another instance of the browser but without any type of cookie being imported?

For convenience I want to have my already created bookmarks imported into another Firefox user's browser. For security reasons I don't want any cookies or flash cookies to be imported when I do this and I don't want to Sync browsers. Is this possible? If so, how, or are cookies not part of the exporting of bookmark data anyway?

You can transfer bookmarks using two different formats:
* Backup format: if you want to preserve tags, this format can do that. However, the Restore process completely replaces all existing bookmarks with what is in the backup. If you want to merge different sets of bookmarks together, do not use this method. More info:
** [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
* Export format: with this option, Firefox creates an HTML file with an ancient format compatible with most browsers. It is not as complete as the newer Backup format. More info:
** [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
** [[Import Bookmarks from a HTML file]]
Neither of these files contains cookies or passwords.

After upgrading to iOS4 on your 3GS, are you having battery & signal issues

I was having big problems with my battery life (10% per hour at best) and also signal dropping issues from time to time.
Last night though I solved all these problems... HOW ??
Via iTunes, restore your iPhone and select the option "as new iPhone" NOT from a backup. This option totally resets your iPhone (no music, videos, data, applications or games saves) but my iPhone was fully charged at 7.30am and now 10 hours later I still have 60% battery.
This now means that my iPhone can last the whole working day before going DEAD !!
Don't get me wrong the RESTORE is a pain but in the long run it looks like the only thing that will sort out your battery problems.
Good luck ... it worked for me !!

The question I have is; "WHY does this work?"
How about it Apple "Gurus"
Well, it would seem that the issue here is that iOS4 is not properly reading the backup that was created before the update. Or the backup is not being created in a properly formatted manner. There are just too many cases of a post upgrade issue being solved by restoring as a new phone for it not to be bad data.
Pain in the hiney, I know. And this is nothing new. All the way back through the iPhone's iPod roots, there has alway been a point in the troubleshooting tree that comes down to "restore the iPod". Just a more awkward thing now that the iPod has evolved into a phone and is trying to keep any number of settings straight. Not to mention no one wants to take their phone down unless there is no other option.

McAfee have taken the decision to rewrite the Firefox SiteAdvisor plugin to make it easier to update. This should ensure that Mozilla's fast-release schedule does not cause lengthy delays after future version updates. What it means for Firefox now though is that until the rewrite is complete - and tested - SiteAdvisor is being prevented from loading in Firefox in order to avoid the possibility of software incompatibility.
The SA rewrite is projected to take a few weeks to complete and test; it should be ready by about the third week of July, although the exact date is not being given at this stage. It could be earlier.
In the meantime, users who are concerned about the safety of websites may wish to consider WOT as a temporary substitute. WOT ratings are set by user consensus rather than by automated site testing, so WOT is not a full replacement for SiteAdvisor. It is, however, a good rating tool in its own right (I use both it and SiteAdvisor in all my browsers) and is apparently unaffected by the upgrade to FF5.
There is a discussion about this on the McAfee forums [https://community.mcafee.com/thread/36733?tstart=0 HERE]
