I downloaded FireFox 5 and now were are my favorites List at ?

I have windows 7 xp pro

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

  • I downloaded firefox 4 and now it will only go to work offline how do I get on the internet

  • Downloaded firefox 5 and now screen is black except for toolbar

    My laptop has windows XP. I downloaded Firefox 5 and my screen is black except for the toolbar. It doesn't matter which site I try to get to, the screen is still black. I had to go to my IGoogle homepage an access the help link because once I go back to Firefox, black screen again. I never had this problem until I upgraded to 5. Any help would be appreciated or I will have to go back to the older version of Firefox.

    Hi Aphthonius,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you only see the "connect to iTunes" screen on your iPhone, this means that the device is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. The information and steps in this article can help further:

  • I downloaded Firefox 5 and now it won't open at all.

    The other day, I was prompted to download Firefox 5. I did so, and now the program won't even open. I've tried restarting my computer as well as turning it off completely; no dice. I had clicked the "restart Firefox" option after it finished installing, but nothing happened.

    Are you getting any error messages?

  • Downloaded Firefox update and now will not open.

    For months I was prompted to download the update. I finally
    did so this morning. After the reboot, I went to Firefox
    with no problem, then closed the program. Later I clicked the
    Icon to go back in, and it would not reload. The activity bar
    and task manager icon showed the usual start-up activity, but
    stopped with no Firefox loaded. Many unsuccessful attempts
    since.

    Do a clean (re)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

  • I downloaded Firefox 4 and now Firefox doesn't offer to restore my session after I've rebooted. I really liked that feature of Firefox. How do I get it back?

    I was happy with Firefox as it was. I had the latest version and it worked perfectly. Then I was notified by Firefox that I should update to Firefox 4. If I'd known it would wipe out my cookies and would not include my "restore session" button that I liked so much, I would not have downloaded Firefox 4. It doesn't offer to restore my browsing session after I reboot and I can't find a way to tell it to do that. Please fix this ASAP and tell me how to make it work on my computer! Thanks.

  • Downloaded Firefox 4 and now I can't get rid of the disk image.

    I downloaded Firefox 4.0 on my Mac (Intel-based laptop) a week or so ago, followed the directions (moved the one image to the applications folder image), but now it won't let me get rid of the disk image. Trash won't let me empty it since Firefox is using it, and if I quit Firefox to do that , another one appears when I relaunch the program. Applications folder has Firefox 4.0 in it, but I can't make this annoying .dmg go away. What to do?

    Try to trash the current Firefox application and do a new installation.
    * Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • Ever since I downloaded Firefox 4 (and now Firefox 5), I get two error messages when the auto-update tries to run.

    The two messages are as follows: "Something is preventing Firefox from updating securely. Please make sure that you have the latest version of Firefox from: http://www.firefox.com " and the second message, "Something is trying to trick Firefox into accepting an insecure update. Please contact your network provider and seek help." I have made sure that I have the newest version of Firefox, downloaded from cnet.com. Can anyone explain this problem?

    Try to trash the current Firefox application and do a new installation.
    * Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

  • I downloaded Firefox 4 and now I have a Google Redirect Virus!

    My host files were cleaned out when I installed Firefox 4 and I now have a Google Redirect Virus!
    Please Help!
    Spybot & Avast can't fix the problem!

    I know you guys won't think this is a Firefox issue but my host file list blocked some of the bad websites and that host file that I had set up was cleared, unbeknownst to me, and let in a Google Redirect Virus.

  • I downloaded Firefox 4, and now it doesn't work at all. Tells me I have it set to 'work offline'. NOT How do I get back to the last Firefox 3?.

    I don't have any idea where to change 'work offline'. Have never set it for that. just get me back to the previous version of Firefox.
    It started as soon as I downloaded vers 4, and restarted computer. No Firefox.

    I'm sorry I forgot to mention using facetime.

  • I just downloaded firefox 7 and now my yahoo toolbar is gone--help

    Looks like yahoo toolbar is disabled as it is not compatible with Firefox 7.
    You can force enable yahoo toolbar by installing [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Addon Compability Reporter]
    If the addon does not work after force enabling, then i am afraid you will need to wait for Yahoo to fix it.

  • Just downloaded new itunes and now photos are gone and cant find photos on any menu

    anyone have problems with new update and finding the section for photos-I lost all when did backup

    *i still have EVERYTHING, including songs and videos in my other itunes library on my pc.*
    Connect you iPod back to your old computer. Your iPod is set to sync automatically which is why you got the Erase and Sync message. You'll get that same message again when you link to the original computer. Choose Erase and Sync again and it will reload your library. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library. Change to this setting when you have reloaded your original library and you'll be able to use the iPod safely on the laptop:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod
    Syncing Music to iPod
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • I downloaded Firefox 20 and now I can not see pictures on my Yahoo Email

    When I receive an email with an attachment and I click on the attachment all I get is a dark blank screen. The dark screen shows that it should be a slideshow even if it is only one picture. The picture cannot be seen. Is there something that should be turned on or downloaded to improve this situation? The previous version of firefox that I replaced did not have this problem as I could see all pictures that were sent to me.

  • I just downloaded firefox 5 and now I have no search bar in the top right. How do I get it back?

    After restarting the computer when firefox 5 had been downloaded the search bar in the top right is now missing.

    See if it is on the Customize Toolbar window. If so, while the Customize Toolbar window is open, drag it to the location you want it. To open the Customize Toolbar window, do one of the following:
    *click Firefox button > Options > Toolbar Layout
    *using the Menu Bar: View > Toolbars > Custonize
    *HOLD down the ALT key while pressing the keyboard letters VTC
    *right-click on a blank space on a toolbar or at the end of the Tab Bar and choose "Customize".
    If "Search" is not on the Customize Toolbar window, click "Restore Default Set" at the bottom of the Customize Toolbar window and look again.

  • Downloaded Firefox 5 and now each time I try to open, it asks me to restart computer.I did 4x, but I still get that error message. Tried downloading fromIE, but no help. Mark Anderson

    I tried to upgrade to Firefox 5 this morning. Now Firefox 5 won't open. Gives me error message, you have to reboot computer. I did 4 times, but there is no change. In a loop. I tried downloading ver 5 from IE, but still have the same problem.
    Mark Anderson

    It just pops up saying Itunes has stopped working and then says it is collecting info about the problem.
    Good, your Vista will have been collecting additional information about those errors. Fingers crossed, that will give us a heads up on the cause of the problem.
    Head into your Problem Reports and Solutions control panel and open your Problem History. Look for recent iTunes problem reports, open them up and have a look through.
    Are they pretty much saying the same sort of thing? If so, paste the contents of a typical report into a reply here so we can have a look.
