Firefox 4 won't run on my pc. Had 3.6 no prob. How to get 3.6 back

I have upgraded to 4 but it just shows tool bar and blank page and will not open any bookmarks. I had no problem with 3.6 and want that version back.

Sorry to hear about your problem.
* Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.16] and download it to the desktop.
* Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to Mozilla Firefox and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
* Then reboot and delete the folder called Mozilla Firefox at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
* Finally run the installation file you downloaded.

  • Firefox won't run BBC iPlayer when using Netbook with XP and recommended Flash Player.

    On my Netbook running XP and a broadband connection, Firefox won't run BBC iPlayer even though it has had the Flash Player upgraded as recommended. The player stalls and won't stream or start a menu for streaming the "live" content from the Radio Station.
    The problem doesn't exist when using Google Chrome as an alternative to Firefox. So this is obviously a Firefox incompatibility problem with Flash Player

    That's what mine said too when I went direct to their checker.
    But I use the Speed Test app and that shows a different IP address, one which links to Orange in the UK.
    At the moment it's giving me 31.81.44.53, but that Ip2location site gives me 50.19.92.191. Google tells me I am on 50.16.198.92. 
    I am confused and frustrated.
    I did several full restores yesterday, several times when the phone restarted it gave US as the defualt locaiton at startup, but this morning when I just did a settings wipe, it gave me the UK, and I thought that had fixed it.  I didn't.     
    Very odd.
    Gosh I thought I solved it then, one of the sites told me my app Onavo was creating a proxy. Deleting the app didn't help - may have to delete the profile which may be buried elsewhere on the phone. Oh, it's in the General tab under profiles - if you have a profile at all.
    Cannot confirm if this works yet as I only have 2G at home but if you have Onavo, I think it's creating a proxy server connection (directing you to the USA). Delete the app, delete the profile and please let me know if it works for you!
    Can't be more than 99% certain, but removing my Onavo profile has now given me a UK IP. Should work!

  • Firefox won't run why not?

    Today is 9/8/10 this morning I used Firefox and it worked fine but later this evening no matter what I try Firefox won't run. I have yet to try deleting Firefox and re-installing it I would like to avoid this so I dont loose my history or my favorites

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

  • Just bought new PC running Windows 8.1. I have Install discs for Photoshop 4 and an upgrade to Photoshop 7. Unfortunately the Photoshop 4 Install disc won't run as it's incompatible with 64 bit. How do I install Photoshop 7 on my new PC? Is there a place

    Pagemaker is ancient, obsolete and unsupported. It was discontinued over 10 years ago. (Though why it is still sold is a mystery.)
    If you want to run PageMaker, your best bet is to use a Win2K or WinXP PC.
    Otherwise move to Indesign or look at Serif's PagePlus or Scribus.

    Help!! working on a movie on Imovie. I had to delete a music file from a clip section and now there are some clips that have no audio!!! don't know how to get the audio back to my clips!!!! Help!!!

    You can use some third party software to copy the music from your old iPod back to computer first, and then import the music into iTunes and re-sync them to yournew iPod. Here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • I just installed ios7 on my iPhone 4s.  It seems to be working fine but all of the apps I had previously installed are gone.  They show up in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts are gone.  Does anyone know how to get the shortcuts back?  Thanks!

    I updated via my iPhone 4s.  The apps were on my iPhone 4s.  That's all the information that I have.  The update to ios7 seems to have gone smoothly - everything else is working, phone texting, email, internet, etc.  But all of the apps I had installed over the past year are no longer showing up as shortcuts.  No facebook, no twitter, no espn, etc.  They are all still listed in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts and my folders are gone.  Thanks.

  • Firefox 4 won't run, no solution helps, had to remove and revert to 3.6 which works fine. When will bugs be out of firefox 4. I give up on it. Safe mode, reinstall, etc all never open

    on a vista computer running system suite11 for antispyware nothing I could do would get firefox 4 to run. I downloaded it severeal times after uninstalling, closed the previous attempt at firefox.exe to try again and even tried safe mode though none was successful. I used chrome to do most of this that i don't like as well but it works. In desparation i reverted to Firefox 3.6 which installed and works fine now. I cannot figure out what it is that prevents Firefox 4 from running and am done wasting time. I will use the older version and when no longer supported go to IE or Chrome exclusively

    I'm having this problem. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I updated to Firefox 4 from 3.6. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but got the same "Firefox has crashed" error. I sent in the report.

  • Firefox won't run, but says it is when I try to unistall it - Win 7 task manager says it isn't..how can I get around this to uninstall it?

    I have been trying to open a browser window with Mozilla Firefox 6.0.2 (x86 en-US). It won't run, however, when I try to uninstall the program, it says I have to close firefox first. Win 7 task manager does not show the program as running.
    I tried again, and still get the same message from Firefox. I checked the task manager again, not running. Tried running it - won't run. Tried uninstall, got the same message, close firefox before trying to uninstall - firefox isn't running!
    I would appreciate any help that you could give me. I want to use firefox, especially since it is the browser that opens Webkinz correctly for my grandkids.

    In the task manager, are you looking at Processes? That is where you find Firefox listed when you see no interface, not in Applications.
    This page might have some useful information about that problem.

  • Old Flash in new Firefox won't run, no warnings.

    Opened my laptop using a current version of FF but with Flash 11.9. Viewed one of my pages with Flash content and.... nothing, just an empty div. No warnings that Flash was out of date, etc. So if I have this right FF won't run out of date Flash for security reasons. Fine. I've always seen warnings in these cases. But apparently if Flash is old enough FF just doesn't bother. Visitors have no idea what is happening. It just looks bad.
    Is this correct? What is the recommended way of dealing with this from a developer's viewpoint?

    We strongly recommend that users always run the latest version of Flash Player.  Running an old version puts users at risk for malware infection.  The vast majority of users are opted in to background update and are kept updated automatically, but there are users that for whatever reason have chosen to stick with an old, vulnerable version of Flash Player.  While this is a bad idea, people are certainly free to do it.  The upside is that the affected population that you're describing is pretty small.
    The upgrade story will actually get better over time.  The latest versions of both Google Chrome and Internet Explorer include Flash Player as a built-in component, distributed with the browser.  Users are always updated with the latest version of Flash, and new updates are delivered inline via the Chrome updater or Windows Update respectively.  Mozilla has spent a few years talking about how Flash needs to go away, while the other browser vendors have been investing in modernized plug-in interfaces and improvements in plug-in security, and unfortunately the prioritization is showing in the user experience.  We're hopeful that Windows 10 will pick up the majority of the WinXP and Vista stragglers as well as many of the Win7 - Win8.1 users, which means that the whole Flash update problem for a very large population of people will be solved in IE once people upgrade.
    It's hard to say what's at the root of the specific issue you're describing.  With the major browsers on 4 or 6 week major update cycles (we publish monthly to ensure we can catch and address any new injections in the browsers that might come up in nightly/beta versions before they hit the general population, and to align with Microsoft patch tuesday), so you're talking something like 18 months worth of changes between the Firefox version you're running and the version of Flash that you're running.  Everything at Mozilla gets done with bugs, and we'd definitely encourage you to file a bug on the user experience that you're seeing.  They've been operating from a reactive place lately, and some of the changes that impact Flash definitely appear to be a little slapdash.  It's ultimately good for them to hear from the developer community and not just me all the time, but feel free to add me to the CC: list in the bug.
    We ultimately have no control over the longevity of a particular build of Flash -- there are way too many external variables -- and we're also investing a huge amount of effort in proactive security work (and it's been our top engineering priority for years).  So each build usually includes large numbers of changes designed to either harden the player or address responsibly disclosed issues from researchers, the larger security and computer science communities and whatever the latest auditing and testing tools we can get our hands on are.  The continuous stream of innovation and ingenuity in the offense space is impressive, but keeps us pretty busy.  Browser-side changes can easily break older versions of the plug-in, and running an old version is just a bad idea.
    So we've really streamlined the installation process to keep people on current versions, and Windows 10 will hopefully be a massive shift away from older, more vulnerable versions of Windows.  The landscape is so different than it was even 4-5 years ago.. the days of running anything for years (or months) in your browser are long gone.  The pace isn't going to slow down anytime soon, either.

  • When I update from 3.0 up, firefox won't run.

    I am running on 3.0 because anything higher than that won't run. Every time I try to run I get the chrome registration error even though all the extensions are disabled. Use to run good until I upgraded to the latest version of firefox.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Runing windows 8 and Firefox won't run java script.

    I have a new Dell running windows 8. it seems Firefox won't operate with Java script. what suggestions do you have?

    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 or otherwise make changes.
