Firefox update to 25 screwed up everything

Your update to Firefox 25 from 24 F***** Up Everything. Shit canned all my addons?? Can't even open emails?? Your support sucks too! I have 6 years in college in Computer Science, currently work as a Network Administrator for one of the Countries largest leading firms in the IT industry and I had to completely remove Mozilla, remove all registry entries, and reinstall it from scratch! You idiots at Mozilla ever think of asking if we want our stuff updated? Especially since most people don't need to update from X to version X.1 just to go to X.2 tomorrow! Get your shit together! Test your stuff before you release it! I have been a long supporter of Firefox but lately you guys are way out of control!

Okay Phillip, Shockwave flash is NOT used on my email! Flash will also not affect the rest of the plugins, nor will it affect the fact that Firefox just would not start up. Funny IE 5 for christ sake worked fine, Google Chrome worked fine, just firefox failed after the update!!!! Can you prove 10 of millions of users udated fine because all I can find is a bunch of people with this problem, go ahead google it if you don't believe me! And by the way what to you do for a living? Work at a car wash! Like I said, don't babble just be posted and act like you know something! It's very annoying! The only reason I put up this post was to help others with the same problem and let them know that the automatic update does not always do its job, but I have a solution! It' s posted, so far all you have provided is negativity! Maybe some day when you get all grown up you will be able to provide something relative! Just because you don't like what is written doesn't mean you have to be childish. I know your one of those people who have an opinion on everything and doesn't know when to shut up!

Foofle Toolbar is not compatible with Firefox 5. Throughout all the Firefox updates, there has never been this problem. Did you screw up?

Google Toolbar is not compatible with Firefox 5. Throughout all the previous Firefox updates, there has never been this problem. Did you screw up?

I wish it were that but a long time ago when I had a problem with the gadgets with iGoogle back 6 months ago thereabouts I was asked to disable it then and I did and I just went to re-check and it is still not enabled, however, it will not let me un-install it though.. It only gives me an option to enable or disable.. Any advice ? So I'm wondering if it is something else still or is there a problem with the avast still ?
thanks again for your help. Mind you that this all started when blogger went down ..
take care

Firefox Updated and As Usual is Screwed up, Not restoring tabs.

My Firefox just updated and aside from breaking my themes, it now refuses to restore my tabs! I have gone through the options 10 times now and each time I tell it to start with my old tabs it resets to home page............Every time Firefox updates it breaks, I am writing this from Chrome, which at least maintains some continuity.
I was able to grab my sessionstore files so I still have them, but dammit test your code people! The feature to resume tabs etc after restart is a major and long running one in Firefox, make sure it works!!!!!!!
Anyway sorry but this has frustrated me to no end, any help appreciated.

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the "Browsing History"
*Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
There shouldn't be normally any problems with files in the Firefox Profile Folder, but some security software keeps a lock on files and that may cause erratic behavior in some cases like an update that requires a restart.

Ever since Firefox updated, I cannot view slideshows on websites. If I click the "Next" button to see the next slide in an article, nothing happens. Why is this? How can it be fixed? I've cleaered cache, done everything.

When I try to view any article with a slideshow, the next button on the slideshow doesn't work. It doesn't matter which website, it doesn't happen in other browsers (ie Chrome), and it didn't happen prior to the recent Firefox update. I've cleared cache, checked all of the settings, and nothing's fixing this. How do I fix it?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

The latest Firefox update, which I have installe on my macbook Os 10.68, seems full of bugs

I am so fed up with the latest version of firefox. It is incredibly slow, when I enter one url in the web bar it will send me bouncing off to a random address that is on my bookmards toolbar. Before the latest firefox update, I had already noticed it had become ridiculously slow. I read some support articles and it suggested uninstalling some add ons and reinstalling them. I did so, i even got rid of the ones I felt I no longer needed them. It fast slighter faster for maybe a day, then just as slow again. In the mean time, I installed google crome browser, b/c I have a blog with blogger, and there are just some things you can't do with blogger unless you're using Chrome. By accident, I discovered there were several things I could all of a sudden do online that I couldn't do with Firefox (reply to messages on a forum I post on, access a free menu planning feature on Canadian Living Magazine's website).
After their latest update, everything has gotten worse! That's when it got even slower, and started bouncing me around the web. I even cleared the cache, which was incredibly annoying since I had so many places all over the web that I had set to be automatically signed in to, and I spent an entire day having to recover all these passwords, and clearing the cache did nothing to fix the problem in any way. I will wait two days for a response from this forum. The only reason I haven't ditched Firefox completely is because of it's adblock feature. The adds on Chrome drive me nuts. If I have not received any suggestions that seem worth my time and energy, I'm uninstalling Firefox, and might consider returning to it when they come up with a new update.

Well, that's pretty made my decision final. I'm ditching firefox for good. The only reason I was willing to use it at all, was because of Ad block. I already tried uninstalling, disabling add ons, like I mentioned previously. The whole proceeding with Firefox safe mode thing sounds like way too much trouble than it's worth. Since I already have Safari Browser, that came with my Macbook, and I need Chrome Browser for using Blogger, I'm uninstalling Firefox and I'll just use those two. Chrome Browser annoys me enough of the time that I don't want to use it as my primary browser. Safari is fairly good though, especially if I only use it occasionally, that means if runs very quickly. Thanks for the advice. It's too bad. When I started using Firefox about 4 years ago, I loved it. Now it drives me absolutely crazy. I'll just start gathering all my passwords that are stored in Firefox and then uninstall it.

How can I turn off the the big orange window that keeps opening on top of Google since the last firefox update installed.

Since the last mozilla/firefox update whenever I go online, google and mozilla/firefox open at the same time and I can not see google since mozille/firefox (a big orange window) opens on top of google. I read everything in the window but there doesn't seem to be an "off" button for this big orange window.

Hi pamerritt,
Are you saying you always see the "Welcome to Firefox" message? If so, you should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!

My firefox updated this morning. Since the update I can no longer post to facebook. Any thoughts? Other browsers work. I am using Windows 7 and Firefox 10.0.1

My firefox updated this morning. Since the update I can no longer post to facebook. Any thoughts? Other browsers work. I am using Windows 7 and Firefox 10.0.1. All was working fine yesterday.

BTW, I can read everything just fine, but when enter information to post and press the post button, nothing happens. I have another computer running Win XP and firefox 8.x and all is fine.

How do I install Firefox updates? I have 13.0 and cannot install updates.

How do I install updates? I have tried everything on your website, and nothing works. I have a Mac 10.7.5 and have NEVER been able to install updates. The bar just keeps moving when I tell it to update, but nothing ever happens. It will do this for hours, but never updates. Telephone help would be very helpful. I would appreciate being able to talk to someone who could walk me through this process. Now my bank account site has a message that tells me I need to update Firefox.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 25.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Something called My Start has just appeared and it screws up everything. How can I get rid of it?

When I installed Firefox on my new computer, it came with a new thing called incredimail and My Start. It screwed up everything, making it impossible to restore my settings. I deleted Incredimail using the Control Panel but My Start continues to upload everytime I open Firefox. I can't find it in my list of programs or in my program file on my C drive. How do I get rid of the damn thing? Jim MacNeill

After uninstalling Incredimail (free) on my laptop, I also couldn't get rid of the MyStart search option. Waste many hours. Easy answer... Firefox home page... Firefox drop down menu on upper left... select help... select troubleshooting information... click on Reset Firefox! Voila! Problem gone!

Flash player not loading videos after firefox update to 32.0.1

Hi,
I use Firefox portable and use it for work. I do moderation of videos. I open a page with 5-20 videos that load with Flash Player and view them. Today there was a Firefox update to 32.0.1 version. After update when I open a page I only get 1 video loaded and the others are blank. When I right-click on area where a video should be I get "Movie not loaded..." greyed (can not click) and "About Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.152..."
I checked and I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player plugin. It was updated few days ago and worked fine until Firefox update. I also checked to open a page with SRWare Iron (also portable browser) and everything works.

I tried reinstalling Flash twice. Did it as on the link for Windows. The second time I erased also a Flash folder in SysWOW64. Tried installing Adobe Shockwave Player, didn't help and when I disabled Flash plugin and left only Adobe Shockwave Player plugin, didn't get any videos just a link to get Flash.
Tried this with ProtectedMode=0, also didn't help, everything was the same.
So still, what ever the number of videos I open on one page/tab, I only get to see one video, the others are blank.

I downloaded firefox update had nothing but troubles since comp crashing how do i send my bookmarks from firefox to ie on this system

i downloaded firefox update, had nothing but troubles since, computer crashing when i try to open, or cursor lag for a long time ie. i try to move to do something it has to think about for 30 seconds to having to pushing reset to get anthing hapening
but still freezes up i put my comp into a very good repair store cost me $119 to only to find no problem with computer, they had it running ,burning , doing everything properly, but they were using ie, as soon as i stoped that and went to firefox, back to lag etc. com bluescreen then crashing when i got home twice so far tried using previous version in system same problem, how do i send my bookmarks from firefox to ie on this system, so i can completely uninstall then reistall a fresh earlier version

I have to agree, fixing something that was working fine and replacing it with the new crap has led me to switch browsers.BIG FAIL MOZILLA
Why do people do this shit.
Turn off updating to keep your good working version or you will be forced to use the new version that is missing some well used features.

After updating to 15.0.1 Firefox opened from C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\updated\firefox.exe

After updating to 15.0.1 this afternoon on a Win 7 64-bit machine, I restarted Firefox. Immediately Comod started showing warnings that firefox.exe was not a recognized program and was asking to access plug-in container, SVC host, and other things. Weird. So I look in Comodo and Explorer and it says the process is running from this path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\updated\firefox.exe
Except there is no Updated folder. This happens even when clicking the firefox.exe file in the Mozilla Firefox folder.
Is this normal?? It seems not correct.

Nevermind. I restarted the computer and everything seems to be back to normal - firewall and paths are correct now. So.. anyone having this problem - try restarting the machine. Never had to do that after a Firefox update before so didn't think of it.

Since firefox update, my webpages and desktop is in large font. How can I get it back to normal size?

Since firefox updated my browser is really big, even my desktop, I can't get everything to fit on my monitor and I don't know how to get the font/size smaller. I tried going to the desktop and hitting smaller font but it says that it is at "normal?.

Double tap your screen with three fingers, then zoom out. Go to Settings/General /Accessability and disable the zoom feature.
