Hello – I am very happy with the present version of Firefox - do I "HAVE" to Update or can I keep it as it is, which I prefer to do?? Kind regards – Dave Wyatt
I have heard that some people have lost information or are not happy with the new version - I am only a casual user and happy with the way it is now and would like to keep it the same - can I do that??
Firefox menu > Options. In Options, click Advanced tab. UNDER Advanced Tab, click the Update tab. Under "Automatically check for updates to", un-check Firefox. Under "When updates to Firefox are found", select Ask me what I want to do.
This will make sure neither Firefox updates automatically nor does it prompt to update.
But one thing Firefox 5 is unsupported. That means you would not get any security fixes for any vulnerabilities in Firefox 5.

I'm VERY happy with the results (fast!). However, the really strange thing is this - there is now a thin yellow line, way over on the right side of the screen, which goes from top to bottom, and stays there no matter where I go or what I do. I've never seen anything like this! It was not there before I did the upgrades. Anyone out there ever heard of such a preposterous thing ~ or have any ideas on how to get rid of it?
Hello Mark,
It's going to mean a lot of reading but you should study the 'More like this' legend to your post's immediate right. >>>>>>>> plus some of the links within each.
The problem is well explored with much guidance on what to do and where to go. -
The website 'Formspring.me' loads, but then when I click 'log in' I find the website to be completely unresponsive. Clicking 'Log in with Facebook' also fails, and this has worked up until now..
I am using the latest version of Firefox, all my plug-ins are up to date and all adblockers are turned off.
My computer runs Windows Vista Ulitmate with Service Pack 2.Hi, thanks for your reply :). I've actually just solved the problem - it was a AVG Safe Search!
I went to C:\Program Files\AVG then fould the 'FireFox' folder and deleted it. When I restarted firefox then add-on was gone and the problem solved.
Thanks for your time,

The "Organize Bookmarks" menu is not present with the new version of Firefox.
With the new version of Firefox, "organize bookmarks" is no longer present under the Bookmarks menu. Therefore, I am unable to export my bookmarks.
I found it. "Organize Bookmarks" is now "Show All Bookmarks".

I pin a tab - or many tabs. Close Firefox, then open it the tabs are never saved. This was never the issue with the older versions of Firefox - been using it for years. I bought a new computer, loaded Firefox (19.0) and now I cannot "save" the tabs.
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).

With the new version of Firefox, the Google toolbar and something with my Webroot protection had to be inactivated to install. I use many of the features on the Google toolbar daily, and miss not being able to use it. When I try to reinstall, the message is that it is incompatible with Firefox 5.0. And I am not sure which features of my Webroot protection had to be deactivated for Firefox to install and run, but I want to retain my firewall and virus protection. And I MUCH prefer to use Firefox! So - I know you are always developing and improving. When will these become compatible again with Firefox.
The Google Toolbar is from Google and support for it can only come from Google, and Google has eliminated it from Firefox, and it never was in Google. Even Google has indicated that the features are available in Firefox through other extensions. But the features are really available in Firefox even without extensions from what I've seen because Firefox has very powerful bookmarks and knowing how to use them with JavaScript, substitution, and keyword shortcuts is a key to using Firefox.
'''The Google Toolbar is no longer supported by Google in Firefox 5 and up''', you may be able to get what you want from it for a limited time, the directions to install the Google Toolbar were posted before Google actually announced dropping support.

In any case you can find several alternative solutions, and you can start working on them now, see

I am not sure if this is a plugin or extension. All I know is that it worked with the old version of Firefox. It is very important to me to be able to use this feature. Any help would be appreciated.
THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED FOR ME.
When I opened this pop-up to view the settings (File > Page Setup > "Format & Options": Scale ), the Scale value was 40%. Changing it to 100% corrected the issue I observed.
To my knowledge, I have not been inside this pop-up window before to set the Scale option. Could this value be affected by other actions within Firefox? I noticed this while using v12 which was installed 24Apr2012.I know it worked correctly since that installation, so why did the Scale value change?
UPDATE: I just realized that the Scale option in print preview sets the Scale value in the settings. NOTE TO ALL: This is a sticky setting, not just a setting for a specific output request. -
How do I fix the problems with the newest version of firefox
I a having a major problem with the newest version of firefox and I am not happy with it. I did everything that I am supposed to do with the reset, but it is still not working correctly. It has a lot of no responses and freezing up problems.
How do I fix this problem?You didn't provide any information about your Firefox setup. Can you do that and paste it in a new reply?
*Navigate to <code>about:support</code> via Address Bar
*Click the button that says <code>Copy text to clipboard</code>
*Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.
Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox opens and works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:
*'''Windows/Mac''': Hold the SHIFT/Option key while opening Firefox
*'''Linux''': Run ''firefox -safe-mode'' in the Terminal/Konsole
If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled. -
I have an email account at a university where I am teaching. My email address there is [email protected] . With the previous version of Firefox I was able to access my email account. After I installed Firefox 4, I no longer have access to this account. Instead I get a message telling me to reload from my browser, but I cannot see how to do this. I need to have access to this email account from my desktop computer, and so I was thinking of uninstalling Firefox 4. Also, on another website that I use as my home page, which is www.marketamerica.com/signewaller , I had it set up to automatically remember my username and password when going to my "back office" from that site, but now after installing Firefox 4 I have to retype my username and password.
Thanks for the help.

Specifically, I am trying to open brokerage statements with Charles Schwab. I go to the link using Firefox and click and all I get is a blank box with ABOUT: BLANK in the header at the top. Yet, I had no trouble viewing the statements with the older version of Firefox and I also have no problem viewing the document using Internet Explorer. Any help you can offer is appreciated. I would rather continue to use Firefox as my browser and not have to use IE.

Looks to me like the latest driver version for this printer is 10.2.1, not 10.3.02...

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.

How do I delete files on my iPod second gen? This is a NEW problem I have only had with the latest version of iTunes. I have not changed libraries. All files are grayed out. I have already read related posts in the iTunes community.
Thanks but I had already read this, and it was no help at all. Under the Summary tab, "Options", there is no check-box to manually manage my stuff. I suspect this is because it is a 2nd gen iPod, with ONLY manual management. The only way to delete my stuff seems to be to reset the entire device.
I like to listen to podcasts. What is particularly frustrating is that the 4th gen shuffle CANNOT play podcasts, but ONLY music, which I discovered after a lot of research and multiple visits to an Apple store. So I have to resort to an older version of the shuffle to play podcasts And now with the latest version of iTunes there seems to be no way to delete any podcasts on the older version. Apple just makes it harder and harder for us podcast-lovers, driving us away from Apple -- driving me away from the entire brand and from ALL Apple devices, not just iPod. -
