I can't update or Re install the new Firefox on my win 8.1 system. The setup up that downloaded is not working, why?

The setup up that downloaded is not working.

If the file has "stub" in the name, it needs to connect back to the server for additional files. Some firewalls block that. Try installing the full installer from the following page (scroll down for your preferred language):

Any luck?

Are you referring to Australis? <br/>
http://people.mozilla.org/~shorlander/files/australis-designSpecs/australis-designSpecs-windowsXP-lunaBlue-mainWindow.html
Firefox Nightly 29.0a1 has that new User Interface. But Australis won't be in a release version until Firefox 30 or 31, well into 2014.

Do you experience the same issue using other browsers, e.g. Safari?

I need to know if the new FireFox 8.0.1 supports Norton? The last time I tried to up date Norton would not work and I had to go back to 3.6 Please let me know. Thanks Ron

I need to know if the new Fire Fox 8.0.1 will support the Norton tool bar? The last time I updated to Fire Fox 5, Norton would not work and I had to go back to 3.6. Some one said they were working on it but I sure would like to know before I switch. Norton handles all of my pass words. I sure do not want to loose that feature. Regards Ron

Did you read these Norton support pages, as posted by SafeBrowser?

Can I use the new Firefox Beta for Win 8 on a non-touch screen computer?

I installed Win 8 on my somewhat old laptop (3 and 1/2 years old). I don't have a touchscreen on it, I don't want to use Internet Explorer, and I badly want to use the new tile Firefox and help it's development. I installed it and tried to enable tile mode but it is not offered in the settings at all. Is it possible to use it without a touchscreen?

Hi Marko,
Unfortunately work on the tile interface was discontinued due to low interest. You can find more information here: https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2014/03/14/metro/
The code lives on, so the project could well be restarted in the future. But for the time being you can only use Firefox in its traditional "desktop" interface.
Sorry for the bad news!

I installed the new firefox sync on my two computers, but the bookmarks are not synchronising. How do I solve it?

Hello,
I recently installed the new version of firefox sync on my computers (by unlinking the old version, and creating a new account), but the bookmarks are not synchronising. One of the computer turns with Windows 7 and the other with Ubuntu 14.
I created the account with the firefox on the Windows computer, and some things were well synchronized on the Linux computer (ie Addblock was installed), but the bookmarks on the Linux firefox are empty.
Could you please help me to solve this problem?
Thank you very much.

Type '''about:sync-log''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
Do you have any Error Reports?
If so, open the most recent report (check the date to make sure it is from the new version of Sync). Then copy and paste the contents of that report to http://pastebin.com/ and post the URL to "your New Paste" to this forum thread so that we can review that error log.
''Edit - whoops'', start with the Windows PC, then the Ubuntu box.

I cannot install the new version of firefox in mi mac os x system. It says that i do not have the permission to do that

i tried to install the newest version of firefox but i couldn't. when i drag the firefox item to the application folder it asks me if i want to replace the previous version, and i click on REPLACE. After doing that i says that operation cannot be completed because i do not have some permissions to do that.

* Download a new copy of the Firefox program
* Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

Since I changed to the new firefox I cannot grab pictures anymore with the pixil grabber. Any ideas?

I like Firefox, but I also enjoy grabbing pictures and since I got this new FF I cant grab any pics. I have tried to downgrade to an older version but I can't. I am not very good on the computer and I don't want to mess around and screw it up. Any help is appreciated.

Do you mean this add-on, Pixlr Grabber? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/pixlr-grabber/
It looks as though there is a long discussion thread on the Pixlr support forum. I didn't read through it but it sounds a little bit complicated: http://support.pixlr.com/pixlr/topics/pixlr_grabber_wont_save_with_firefox_18
I'm not sure whether you need the Pixlr editor to save most of the pictures you want. Have you tried using the right-click > Save Image As option?

I have downloaded the spellchecker & dictionary (U.S.)--it is showing in my add-ons--however it is NOT working--WHY??

I added United States English Spellchecker (U.S.) 5.0.1.-it is in my add-ons, spellcheck is checked in tools options-and I restarted firefox after it said 'successful'--however, it still does not work.
Is there anything else I need to do?
Please Help!
TY

Firefox has a spellchecker as standard feature, no need to install it. <br />
Plus, the '''''en-US''''' version of Firefox comes with a spellcheck dictionary.
See if this helps you - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+spell+checker
''BTW, if you installed the SpellBound add-on, did you read the instructions? It doesn't do in-line spell checking as the default spellchecker does.''

I just upgraded my Iphone 4S to the new IOS software. Now it has a passcode on it that i did not set. How do i bypass it?

How do I reset a passcode that I did not put in?

Hello 6underwood,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581
If you are experiencing difficulties with the connection between your stereo and device, disconnect the device, and then power cycle the stereo and your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect your device. If you cannot power cycle the stereo, turn the car off and then back on to allow the stereo to power off.
Best of luck,
Mario

In the new firefox 4, how do you know if the synching is happening? I understand it is automatic, but it was autmatic before. now I do not see the littel syncing icon anywhere on the page? where is that icon or another way to know if it is sycning?

in Firefox 4, is there an icon that shows that the browser is synching like there were in previous versions? i like to know that it is synching. Thanks!

hi guys. thanks.
also thanks for the reminder to boot to the drive to test it. i have not been doing this which is probably an error.
OK, so i have another post about creating a "folder with a name that is todays date". i would really like to see something inside the backup that i can verify very quickly with. i mean, i think i am realizing that all other methods are too indirect for me and that if i can get a visual on this with such a folder it would do me a lot of good.
i mean, one problem i am having with the alerts (as much as i like them) is that i am backing up multiple times on site and i also run some off site. so i get a lot of alerts and i like them. however, if i have a drive in hand and i plug it in it would be good to know quickly what the date of the backup is. say i take one of my externals from my desktop to the coffee shop with my laptop.
it sure would be nice to know what the current backup date is...
TIA

HT1386 I have the latest iTunes but when i click on Sync button or Back up button its not working , why ?

I have the latest iTunes but when i click on Sync button or Back up why ?

It should have noted that the backup was complete on the backup page. Try rebooting your computer and try it again.

How do I get rid of the blank space at the bottom of the new Firefox menu?

The new firefox 4 has a different menu system. IT has blank space at the bottom wiht just a plus sign that opens new tabs. I can get that from the + sign by the tabs and don't want it or the rest of the blank space on the bar. I need all the space in the main window I can get. How do I get rid of this?
Found my own answer, disable Conduit Engine toolbar, whatever the heck that is. Why it's enabled to start with is beyond me.

Hi stephanie,
These are unrelated questions/statements.
Space before and space after a paragraph are controled in the Text Inspector, as you've found out.
Pages will create a page break whenever there is no room for another line on the page. That break can come anywhere in a paragraph.
You may be thinking of Widow and Orphan prevention, and the other Pagination controls, found under the More button in the Text Inspector. (If that's what you found, then thanks for the refresher! I hadn't been to that pane for awhile, and had forgotten the variety of pagination controls available.
Regards,
Barry
