I can see firefox 3.6.16 in Applications on my Mac but from the top bar the dropdown Firefox menu says I have 3.6.10. What do I do to run and use 3.16.3?

If I can see 3 6 16 it means I assume I have downloaded it but the fact that I am not running it means what? That I havent installed it? How do i now install it? Must be simple.

You appear to have Firefox 3.6.10 installed and in use, so therefore presumably on your hdd.
Without upgrading to the newest major version firefox 4, the latest version available is Firefox 3.6.16 , with Firefox 3.6.17 being the next one; scheduled I believe, for 26th April. So to be up-to-date with Firefox 3.6 you should be trying to upgrade to 3.6.16, which I understand you have already downloaded.
First of all try an automatic upgrade by using:
* Help -> Check for upgrades
* as explained here : [[Updating Firefox]]
* if you have problems the link I provided earlier may help [[software update failed]]
If you are unable to get the upgrade to work you can always just do an install of Firefox 3.6.16. BUT please do NOT use the option that says something along the lines of remove settings, if you do you are likely to loose important stored information, including passwords and bookmarks.

My old Firefox used to show web addresses at the top near the toolbars, how do I bring that feature back where I can type in a website address?

My old Firefox used to show the website being visited and one could type in a website to change to another website. The new Firefox does not have this feature. How do I change my new Firefox so that I can type in a web address. This used to be at the top of the page.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode with all toolbars hidden.
* Press F11 to toggle full screen mode (Firefox/File > Full Screen)
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

In Firefox 3.6.10 I was able to go forward and backwards between pages without the page defaulting to the top of the page. Is there any way to prevent the page from automatically moving to the top when using the forwards and back buttons in Firefox Four?

I like to be able to navigate backwards and forwards without having to scroll down and find where I was previously. In Firefox Four, when using the forwards and back buttons, the page will automatically return to the top of the page. Is there any way to change this setting in Firefox Four to prevent it from doing that?

Thanks for the response. No Time Machine, but I probably have a backup from a few months ago on an external hard drive. :/ I guess it'd have useful history, but not if it overwrote the last 3 months or so of Awesome Bar, that might not be so great.

The firefox button used to be on the left, with tabs lined up beside it reaching the top of the screen. Now the firefox button is on its own, with tabs on the row below it. This wastes a lot of space at the top of my screen, can I put it back how it was?

Previously, the firefox button was at the top left and tabs lined up beside it, so that the top of the tabs reached right to the top of the screen. Close/minimise etc. were at top right.
Two days ago, it switched so that the firefox button is at top left, close/minimise etc. are still at top left, but now the tabs are on a row below, leaving a gap at the top where I can see through to the desktop. There is also a larger border than before round the whole firefox browser window, more wasted space.
I have the windows 7 quick links bar at the top of my desktop, now that firefox has left a gap above the tabs it means it is easier to accidentally hover over the bar when changing tabs, this is annoying as it brings it to the front and disrupts the ability to change tabs quickly.

-> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select/unselect '''Taps on Top'''
Check and tell if its working.

Sometimes, when I click on a link, I see in the address bar the words: "Search bookmarks and history" (greyed out) just before I am taken to the link. Should I be worried? Is someone searching my personal data? Is this just a FireFox error msg?

Sometimes, when I click a link on a web page, I see in the address bar the words: "Search bookmarks and history" (greyed out) just before I am taken to the link I clicked. A moment later, when I'm at the link, its address appears in the address bar, and all is normal. It seems that this happens only from some particular sites. Is FireFox reporting that my bookmarks and history are being searched?
Should I be worried? Is someone searching my personal data? Is this just a FireFox error msg when it has trouble finding the website I requested?

That is OK. Firefox will only display the link in the location bar after the DNS look up has succeeded and a connection to the server has been established. Until that has been done you see the default setting for the location bar: Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest

HT1688 when you double tap the home button to go back to your other apps are those apps always running and using cellular data even if I am not currently using them? I thought it froze them and didn't use data other that a select few apps like Facebook,

when you double tap the home button to go back to your other apps are those apps always running and using cellular data even if I am not currently using them? I thought it froze them and didn't use data other that a select few apps like Facebook, email, etc. Also I always select no when I download an app and it wants me to have those push notifications. Because that would mean that I would have to delete my apps after everytime I just them from that bar and that would be very annoying and just stupid. Or maybe apps do use data and it's just a big scheme to make everyone go over on their data plans.

In Firefox 4, how do I change the order of plugins on the Add-ons Plugins manager page (I turn Shockwave Flash on only to see videos - having it off prevents screen freezing - and so I want it stay at the top of the list)?

In Firefox 4, how do I change the order of plugins on the Add-ons Plugins manager page? I turn Shockwave Flash on only when I want to watch a video and then turn it off to prevent screen freezing, and so I want it to PUT it and KEEP it at the top of the list.

Hit Ctrl+0 (That's a zero, by the way). I'm not sure if it will work, but hey, that's the first thing I would try.

I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 The firefox menu-bar is on the top of the screen - how can I get it into the firefox window?

Maybe I'm an idiot - this does seem a very simple issue. I can right click on the tab bar and check things like Navigation Bar, or Add-on bar and they all work fine - but the menu bar is stuck on the top of the screen and appears when I role over it. However, sometimes when firefox is automatically opened by some other application (LibreOffice) it comes up in a window with menu-bar onboard. I'm sorry if this is so obvious to everybody else - but it is irritating to me

Try hitting '''F11'''.

Firefox 8, Linux--firefox has no toolbar/menu/whatever at the top of the Print Preview page. NO back button. nothing. don't know how I lost it, how can I get it back? other machines I use with firefox 8 don't have this problem.

somewhere around the time of updating to firefox 8 (I can't be certgain exactly when it was, but I think it was a little while after the update) the print preview screen started showing up with no toolbar at the top, just the window contents and the frame. there's no way to choose "print", or "close print preview" or any other option because there are no options shown.

Why can't I use anything at the top of the screen since Mozilla Firefox 11 ?

I can't use the top of the screen and so I've had to return to using internet explorer instead.

Yes, that problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar or the Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.
