Firefox v4 not compatible with IBM iSeries HMC 7.7.0 SP2
Being a glutton for punishment I tried to upgrade my FF. It sucks. I opened a pmr with IBM. Here are the results:
<snip>
What you have stumbled across is an issue that has recently appeared. Firefox 4 is not a supported (at this time) version of browser to work with the HMC remotely.
We have created a request to development to get this repaired. The same issues are also in IE8 which is also unsupported for now. In IE8 there is a compatibility mode that can be used to circumvent the problems.
Our hope is that Mozilla will also release such a circumvention for the short term fix.
For now, you will need to go back to V3 if possible, or you can use IE7, both of which are currently supported. I don't have a timeline for when this issue would be fixed in any HMC release as it is more an issue related to the browser.
Hope this helps, let me know if there is anything else we can assist you with, or if we should close out the call.
Thanks for using IBM Support.

Thanks for posting those comments. Firefox has a "quirks" mode for better compatibility with old sites, but it doesn't have a user-switchable rendering engine or, as far as I know, a Firefox 3.6 compatibility mode.
One workaround might be to use the IE Tab* add-on to open the HMC site in IE within a Firefox tab. (* There seem to be more than one of these now.)
But if "sucks" refers to a lot of other issues, maybe you'd prefer to use 3.6 for a while.
To roll back:
First, make a backup of your computer for safekeeping. To back up Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 4, and uninstall it. Do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Then finally you can reinstall Firefox 3.6. Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, it should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

How do I access websites that warn: "Firefox is NOT compatible with this application. For best performance, please use Internet Explorer 5.0 and above...."? When I try to download any alternate browser, all I get is another warning that the alternate is "not compatible with your operating system." Is Firefox preventing this? The site listed below is a job application site. I've had this same problem with other job application sites also.
== URL of affected sites ==
https://storefront.kenexa.com/lithia/cc/Home.ssThere should be a User Agent Switcher menu item under Tools, which gives you the browser names you can impersonate.
The menu item name changes to the browser UA you are presently using.
There is also a User Agent Switcher button, you can add it using View -> Toolbars -> Customize, and dragging the button to your toolbar.
See http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/features/ and http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/help/
You can just start trying IE versions (or the versions it says on the site) until it lets you in. -
When I downloaded Firefox and was checking my extensions, I was advised that Firefox is not compatible with the malware prevention part of my Webroot security package. I use it successfully with Windows and just renewed for another year. What do you suggest I do to protect myself? I am not a computer expert so if you could reply in plain language it would be appreciated. Also, we stream videos a lot and I noticed that DivX is also not compatible. What do I do about that? Thank you.
I was having this issue for Firefox version 7 and had to spend one hour trying to find a solution. Here is the solution. Go to webroot.com, tab to support and than 2011 product support. Type in Firefox Toolbar it will than say are you unable to use firefox toolbar hit yes. It will say under 1. click hear to download patch. Save the file and after the download run it. After installed close firefox and you should have the webroot toolbar running again.
ff7fix.exe is the file you need. -
I got a message to update windows. I updated. My computer said firefox was not compatible with update. I then tried to purchase Avast and it basically crashed my computer. I had help in restoring and when system was checked it showed two different firefox downloads that had not succeeded because they were incompatible with my system. I don't know enough about computers to understand what happened. I have a Dell Studio xps with Windows 7. Thank you.
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com -
Currently using version 3.6.27 as the updated versions are not compatible with my low vision software called Zoomtext. I constantly get Firefox asking me to upgrade. How can I get it to stop asking me to upgrade. (I have tried each upgrade and they are all incompatible with Zoomtext.
Go to '''Options''' window > '''Advanced''' panel > '''Update''' tab > '''Firefox updates '''> click '''Never check for updates (not recommended: security risk)''', click '''OK''' to save it, exit firefox and restart it.
see for more info: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel#w_update-tab Options window - Advanced panel - Update tab]
BUT you see the warning : Warning: If you select this option, you will not receive '''critical security updates that may keep you safe online''' unless you frequently do a '''manual check for updates'''.
thank you

Microsoft's site says firefox 3 is compatible with windows 7. however, i've upgraded to firefox 5 and now system crashes to the blue screen.
I have a laptop running Firefox 5.0 on Windows 7 and don't have problem with it.
What I suggest you do in the first instance is to start Windows 7 using the '''Last Known Good Configuration''' which will load the operating system the last time it worked properly, instructions here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Using-Last-Known-Good-Configuration
Then do the following.<br><br>
#Use Internet Explorer to download Firefox from here: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 5.0.1] and choose "'''Save'''" when you see the prompt and save it to your desktop. ''Do not choose "Run"''.<br><br>
#Next, uninstall the version you have at the moment via "Programs and Features" in Control Panel choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box'').<br><br>
#Next, reboot.<br><br>
#When the system boots to the desktop, delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\ <br><br>
#Run the installation file you downloaded earlier.<br>
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.<br><br>
I don't know if your bookmarks can be retrieved or not, but the following procedure can be used to make a backup should they still be available.<br><br>
#Press CTRL+SHIFT+B to open the Bookmarks manager.<br><br>
#Click the link to '''Import and Backup '''and then click '''Export HTML '''and save the file somewhere.
You can use the same Bookmarks Manager to import the file you saved by choosing "Import HTML" should that prove to be necessary. -

Firefox 4 is not secure; Firefox 5 is a security and stability update for Firefox 4. The only currently supported versions of Firefox are Firefox 5 and Firefox 3.6.19 (support to expire in a month or two).
As for the Google toolbar....
Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox beyond Firefox 4.

I am unable to upload documents.
Currently the only supported Firefox versions are 7.0.1 and 3.6.23
Other versions including 6.0.2 have security vulnerabilities and are not recommended.
You can install the portable Firefox 3.6.x version to access websites that do not work with Firefox 7.

Have used Firefox for a long time now and suddenly the new

Firefox 15 not compatible with Norton Tool bar, is there going to be a fix?
When will you fix this problem with Norton's Tool Bar compatability? I use this feature all the time.
I had Firefox 18 that crashed with Windows 8, and I also had my Norton toolbar. However, I removed 8 and installed back 7 (Windows), and Norton disappeared. Therefore,I went to Firefox 15 and my bar was back. It was back for the past 2 days, and now it is gone, out of the blue. I have the new Comcast Norton 360 and it has been updated - but my bar is gone. I want my bar and it is the only bar for privacy that I trust. I prefer Firefox 18, if I can have it with my Norton bar. Any ideas? I am not able to go to add on's and click onto "enable" because it states that it is incompatible with Firefox 15, therefore, there are no enable or disable buttons. What is going on?

Firefox is not compatible with windows 8.1, problemsall the time,why?
It is almost impossible to play any games on facebook when using windows 8.1. It is very slow and It is not working in games with other persons involved. When I used windows XP I never had a problem with firefox. So what can I do to fix this? I have talked to many persons who bought 8.1 and they all have the same problem
I assume these are Flash games?
One of the differences between Windows XP and later versions of Windows is that the Flash player plugin on Windows Vista-7-8 has an additional feature called Protected Mode. This feature helps protect your system from untrustworthy Flash media by splitting it up into multiple different processes in memory. This works fine on some systems but causes serious performance issues and even crashes on other systems.
I suggest disabling the Protected Mode feature of the Flash Player plugin to see whether that helps. This involves creating or editing a settings file. The following pages/posts provide different ways to do that:
* Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
* Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
* Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078
Flash needs to completely unload from memory (restarting Firefox might help) before this would take effect.
Any improvement? -
Our Kaspersky Anti-Virus is blocking Firefox 5.0 identifying it as malicious. Firefox message stated that Kaspersky URL Advisory & Kaspersky Virtual Keyboard, 11.0.2.579. If this is not resolved we will have to change to another browser quickly. Have used Firefox for many years and hate to change but will not give up any of our Kaspersky protections. Please email with any further information or suggestions. Thanks for you assistance.
So we can continue using our current Firefox version until Kaspersky's update? Or, do we need to switch to Chrome or something else. We are senior citizens and not really up to speed on all things technical. Usually get answers from, Kim Komando's site. But wanted to try working with the Firefox community first for this problem. Thanks for your advice. Just want to be sure we can continue to use our current version of Firefox and it will keep everything up and running. Also read something about a problem with gmail and want to be sure that has been completely resolved before switching to the 5.0 Firefox.
