Firefox 5.0 on windows 7 freezes frequently. Please fix soon this problem because i don't want to migrate to internet explorer.
I have firefox on my desktop together with Internet Explorer and Chrome. My favourite browser is (of course) Firefox. Today i upgraded from firefox 4.0 to 5.0. Since then Firefox has frozen a lot. I think I'd better return to 4.0 unless you fix the problem soon.
I have the same problem. It freezes often and it takes something like 30 seconds or more to start working again (stops being frozen and in most cases works fine without a restart but it's extremely irritating!)

I'm trying to sync bookmarks from our laptop to our desktop computer. The laptop is running Firefox 16.0.2 and the desktop has version 3.6.8. On the desktop, under "Tools, Options" there is no selection for "Sync". The desktop is running Windows XP Media Center Edition.
I did try to download a patch from your site, but the download website is no longer working. Is there some other patch you can offer to solve this problem? Can I upgrade the desktop to a newer Firefox version?The old Firefox Sync extension for older Firefox versions was discontinued by Mozilla over a year ago. Update Firefox.
Firefox app button > Help > Check for Updates
Or download the current release version and install it after you uninstall that old 3.6.8 version.<br />

I can't access certain links from sites, especially with a lot of graphics. I get messages to the effect that I need to upgrade my browser. But then the update says I need a 10.3 Mac or higher. Also any site with a lot of graphics takes forever to download. Is there an intermediate update that I could use instead for my Mac?
For Mac 10.2.8 you need Firefox 2.0.0.20 as Firefox 3 will NOT RUN on your Operating System.
Download Firefox 2.0.0.20 from HERE.... http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Follow THESE Instructions to Install... http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox#Mac_OS_X
BUT This is scheduled to be the LAST release of Firefox 2, so you will need to upgrade youur computer to receive further updates. -
I uninstalled Norton 360 under windows xp and now I'm getting this problem that firefox will no longer load pages. IE and Outlook still work and I can access the internet with them, I can ping any website I like successfully but Firefox won't load any pages ... N

Sure enough that's not enough to release Norton's tentacles in your system, there's an uninstall tool on their website (a whole set of them actually) that managed to carve it out completely and after a restart everything was back to normal. My machines will definitely be Norton-free from now on ... N

I'm wondering if I should update to firefox 5 from firefox 3.6? I use Zotero for my dissertation research and I have lots of stored info in Firefox 3.6 like frequent flier numbers that load automatically that I don't want to lose. Suggestions?
My advice is to stick with Firefox 3.6.x for a while yet, it is still supported.
Otherwise, see the Zotero website for advice about their program and updating to Firefox 5.0 (or 6.0 when it is released in 3 weeks). -
I want to uninstall Firefox 3.6.8 because of a problem I am having and then once I do that I will reinstall it. My problem is I don't want to lose my Bookmarks. Can someone please tell me where they are filed so I can make a backup copy before I do any uninstalling. Thanks, John

What is the best way to 'clean up" a Mac that has been going for about 2 years. I reset safari frequently but need to be sure stuff I don't want is gone.
I'd gather by your "reset Safari" and "clean up" you mean by sites you rather not have your mom see.

I upgraded to windows 8 and didn't want to change to internet explorer 10... i needed to stay on IE8 for work purposes. what can I do about this? tried installing IE8 on windows 8 and it says IE8 is incompatible. Microsoft shouldn't
make decisions for the end user. I do computer repair for a living and need my computer to act a certain way but when upgrading to Windows 8, IE10 was automatically added.We had issues like that at my work and we used Gmail. When we used IE 8 a message would pop up saying your browser is old upgrade to a more modern browser. SO we switched our standard from IE to chrome but I still have a couple of apps that require IE.

I am unable to print to the Lightning PDF software (by Avanquest Software) after updating to 6.02. It worked with the previous version of Firefox. Is there a patch or fix for this problem?
This is the error that is received:
Cannot open file "C:\Users\Calandra\AppData\Local\Temp\Ask_a_Question__Firefox_Help.pdf". The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process
Any information that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.Sorry to say that, but the entire system seems ill-designed.
If I understand correctly, then to add a new Section to a site, you have to subclass SubSection and somewhow integrate that into the system?
I would be my expectation that you only need to subclass SubSection when you tried to introduce a new type of SubSection.
The title & all other natural language Strings should never be hardcoded in Java code, but rather taken from some external storage (Database, XML, flat files, ...). -
What gives? I uncheck "Reopen windows when logging out" and it still goes back to the prev. sessions windows. Is there a fix for this?

I have to enter the remember password login at least twice each time I open a new instance of Firefox. Is there a fix for this problem?
== This happened ==

Thanks for the advice. In my case, it is sufficient to '''uncheck''' " Saved passwords".
('''''Preferences -> Privacy -> Clear History when Firefox closes -> Settings -> Saved Passwords''''').
Great to have Sync. :) -
I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?
First-off, this seems to be a general problem with 10.4 (across all the operating systems of which I am aware). Unfortunately, I cannot provide a permanent solution but, if you need a quick fix, this will (hopefully) work for you.
For some inexplicable reason, iTunes no longer recognises standard Windows paths. For example:
Y:\Music\Buddy Holly\Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
The end result is that it will import a playlist with no content.
It will, however, recognise the equivalent Apple paths which look like this:
file://localhost/Y:/Buddy Holly/Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
It is possible to convert your existing playlists using a few basic replace commands in something like Notepad. In my case, I made some code changes in my music manager and now generate two sets of playslists (one standard and one to accommodate iTunes).
Forgive me foir stating the obvious but please remember to make sure that the disk / path containing your music is accessible when doing the import otherwise you will probably get a blank result. Note that you can do a bulk import by selecting all the (revised) playlists and dragging them onto the iTunes sidebar.
I am sorry that this is not a "clean" solution but it will work if you are in a bind. The only alternative of which I am aware is to wait for Apple to fix the problem. -
My iPhone 5 is not dectecting when i connect it to iTunes on windows; what should I do to resolve this problem? I have restored my device and also installed new itunes.

Why does Acrobat Pdf converter file slow down my 2003, Windows Word Program. I only experience this problem when i convert a pdf file to a doc file.
Hi Bill -- thanks for your reply!
When I check the Document Properties on Acrobat I can see that the fonts used in the document (Cambria, Times and Windings) are listed as "Embedded Subset" in the Fonts panel. The machine it was created on did use an earlier version of OS X and an old version of Word, but it seems to have the proper fonts...
