Have you noticed the newest version 3.6.23 crashes frequently? Mine does it a few times a day on web pages that used to work fine before the upgrade.

Since the last Firefox update was installed on my system, Firefox crashes several times a day on websites that used to be no problem. I have five crash report id's from the last two days (I usually don't send the report). Do you want all of them?
I'm running Firefox 3.6.23
I'm running MacOS X version 10.5.8, on 1.5ghz powerPC G4
with 2gb memory and over 100gig still available on my 150gig hard drive.
I checked for updates - there are no new updates.
I tried sending feedback, but the feedback page said I had to be running the latest version of firefox. So I clicked on "latest version of Firefox", and got "Unfortunately the latest version of Firefox isn't compatible with your computer's operating system"
The "learn more" link took me to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/ which says that OS 10.5 is supported.
So - how do I get back to my previous version of Firefox so it doesn't keep crashing
AND/OR
Is there a fix coming to stop all the crashing
AND/OR
What do I do about Firefox versions on my computer?
Thanks

That can be a problem with a plugin, possibly Java.

Downloaded Firefox yesterday. Every time I open the Firefox browser, it starts in Safe Mode even though I have shut down and restarted my computer several times

I have Windows OS. I downloaded Firefox yesterday. Every time I open the Firefox browser, it starts in safe mode. I have restarted my machine several times -- Firefox still starts in Safe Mode. My favorites from IE copied to Firefox fine, and Firefox is now my default browser...it just keeps opening in Safe Mode.

I downloaded the toolbar. When I was done using the computer, I put it to "sleep." The next time I "woke" the computer and went to Firefox, the toolbar was gone. When I downloaded the toolbar again, I got a box in the upper left hand corner of the screen stating Firefox BLOCKED the toolbar, and did I want to allow it. There was NO option to allow always-it's just a one time deal. When I shut down for the day, I expected it to remain, but no-next time I fired up firefox, NO TOOLBAR. I pulled up Inbox dollars again, clicked on download toolbar, got the box stating it's blocking the toolbar, etc, etc, etc. Unless Firefox upgrades daily, or in some cases, several times in one day, I'm going to stick with my description that the toolbar magically disappears EVERY TIME I OPEN
FIREFOX!!!
I don't profess to be any type of computer whiz, I'm totally self-taught, and it's not beyond the realm of possibility that I'm doing something wrong. I've been using Firefox for about a week, so I'd welcome any help!

It's not working here as well with Java 6 U25 on Linux.

For some strange reason the songs in my library are multiplying. For example, I really only have 4,000 songs but every time I open itunes I have 6,8,10,000 songs! Any one else have this problem. How do I stop that from happening?

For some strange reason the songs in my library are multiplying. For example, I really only have 4,000 songs but every time I open itunes I have 6,8,10,000 songs! Any one else have this problem. How do I stop that from happening? I keep having to delete my library!

This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

HT1338 for the last 6 months my mac is crashing all the time. I think it is safari because firefox works fine. Any suggestions?

for the last 6 months my mac is crashing all the time. I think it is safari because firefox works fine. Any suggestions?

What is crashing, is it just Safari or is the entire computer freezing (if that's what you mean by crashing)? If the latter, are you saying it only happens when Safari is open?
You need to explain with more detail just what is happening and when.
Do you get a message to restart?

I just updated to 4.0.1 on my mac and now it says "Firefox is currently in offline mode and can't browse the web". It is not my internet since I am using Safari just fine. Any suggestions? I sure wish I wouldn't have updated!

Firefox crashed after trying to clear browser cache & cookies and now it hangs every time I open.

'''Update''': I used the wrong term in the question. It '''FREEZES''' rather than crashed. I have to force-quit. Hope this clear things up.
I followed instruction from a Yahoo Mail agent (in a yahoo-related issue with their mail) to clear cache & cookies on "Everything" (time range). That crashed Firefox. Now every time I reopen, it gives the error message and an option to restore or start new session, but as soon as I click on ANYTHING, it hangs.

Apparently, my user profile was corrupted. Deleted the '''Profiles''' folder, dumped FF, did a clean install and it works like a charm. I backed up the Profiles, but am afraid to add it back because I don't know what corrupted. It seems my attempt to clear cache and cookies triggered something...

Firefox is crashing every time I open it.

every time i open Firefox it crashes. Opens to home page ok but when I click on a site from book marks or from toolbar it crashes.
This is happening to other browsers too.
I am using a iMac

Firefox is crashing every time I open it. A box pops up with options to load several add-ons, then it crashes. You should have several reports on this already.

As per the above, every time I open Firefox, a box appears on the left, offering me the option to update certain add-ons. It then crashes. end of story!

Why does firefox transfer data every time I open up applications such as facebook games. it takes the games longer to load because of this.

Connecting to my home page is quick...I transfered all my bookmarks (favorites) and settings as suggesetd from internet explorer. I figured this would only happen the first time I opened up games on facebook using Firefox...but it happens every time.

I'm sorry you are having this trouble. I can assure you that we want you to be using the homepage of your choice, and w are not even partnered with google anymore, for this isn't something Mozilla is doing on purpose (we will always respect your user choice)
I'd try the following:
* Sometimes this can be caused by a corrupted Firefox profile. Try the steps at [[How to fix preferences that won't save]] and let me know if that works.
* If that fails, try a Firefox Refresh, [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]]
* Finally this can be caused by malware. Try scanning for malware with the scanners at [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]

I've downloaded quicktime but every time I try to play a video on the apple website using internet explorer it asks me to download quicktime. If I use safari it works fine. Any suggestions

I've downloaded quicktime but every time I try to play a video on the apple website using internet explorer it asks me to download quicktime again yet if I'm safari it plays fine. Any suggestions?

That sounds like IE wants you to install the QuickTime ActiveX control.
Go back to the page you're getting the message on. At the bottom of the screen, can you see a long rectangular box asking you to allow/install something? (Sorry, it's been a while since I've seen the box in question, so I can't recall the precise wording.)
If so, allow/OK in that box. After the ActiveX control has gone in, can you see the videos in IE?

Firefox 8.0.1 hangs every time it opens. Where can I download previous versions of Firefox, please? (Have searched site for an hour)

Have already tried the various solutions suggested in support pages for this problem. Have also re-installed from full installation file instead of automatic update. Nothing helps.

Thank you, James. I will certainly use the url you provided to download v8.0 which is what I wanted. (BTW. I wasn't stupid enough to install Aurora when I saw it wasn't the file it was supposed to be.)
I agree that I should not have had to go to an unofficial download site. I'm well aware of the risks of using such sites. But I searched the Mozilla and Firefox sites repeatedly for several days seeking different version nos of Firefox (including 8.0) and my searches have returned no matches. If Mozilla allowed this url to be found, it would make things much easier.
I understand the concerns about security vulnerabilities but a version of Firefox that hangs (permanently) as soon as it opens is of no use and does not allow us to search for solutions. In this case, the only option is to downgrade and use that older version to get online and then search for possible solutions to the upgrade problems. It isn't about using the older version indefinitely, just for problem solving so we can upgrade to the latest secure version.

Firefox is hanging every time I open a Google Map; it used to work fine before. Any suggestion ?
