Please do the following.
Click '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''. The option to update should appear and version 3.6.17 should download and install.
However, sometimes things go pear-shaped and you get version 3.5.19. If that happens, repeat the same steps to update to 3.6.17.
Once you have 3.6.17 installed, you'll get the opportunity to update to the current version which is 4.0.1 ''Please don't do that for the moment because you first of all have to update your plugins''. To do the latter, please do the following.
Go to http://www.java.com/en/ and install the latest version of Java.
Update Adobe Shockwave for Director via http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
Update Adobe Flash via http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Update Adobe Reader via http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=BUIGO
For security details regarding the Adobe updates, see: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-02.html
Once you've updated all those, go to '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates '''again to update to version 4.0.1

How do you download attachments and once downloaded, where do you open it? In the computer, it gets saved under Documents or Desktop, etc. I can't seem to find those in iPad.

How do you download attachments in iPad and once downloaded, where do you open it?

do you have the evernote app?
ok, well if you open a doc in mail app to preview it, it should say export to evernote, or another app that allows you to open files like good reader, ibooks, so it really just depends on the file type.
if it is a picture then hold down on the photo and it will ask if you want to save it.

When I download the 3.6.3 version I get a warning pop up saying 'the following disk images failed to mount'. What do I need to do to stop this from happening?

After downloading the a pop up box called Warning appears with saying 'The following disk images failed to mount' and below that there is a table that has Image with a Firefox 3.6.3 and another field called Reason saying Corrupt image. The current version of firefox I am using is 2.0.0.7
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Firefox 3.0 and 3.5/6 versions require at least Mac OS X 10.4

When I downloaded firefox, it also downloaded McAffee Security Scan Plus. Why? Is this going to interfere with my other anti-virus?

downloaded firefox and also downloaded McAffee Security Scan Plus.
Why? Will it interfere with my other anti-virus

Where did you download Firefox from? It does not come with McAfee Security Scan if you download it from http://www.mozilla.com/ - it has no extra applications included.
Are you sure it was not a plugin that included the McAfee Security Scan, for example the Adobe Flash plugin will by default include it.

There is a version of Firefox 4 available for PPC Macs:
TenFourFox 4.0.1 Firefox 4 For PowerPC Browser Released
Version 4.0.1 of TenFour Fox, FloodGap's port of Firefox 4 for Power PC
Macs that supports both Mac oS X 10.4 and 10.5. has been released.
Mozilla.org dropped support for OS 10.5 after Firefox 3.6 and for Power
PC with the fourth beta of Firefox 4.
TenFourFox uses almost all the same code as Firefox 4 and has nearly all
the same features, including faster JavaScript, WebM video, and HTML 5
and CSS 3 support, as well as new and emerging Web features, but with
the code needed to keep your Power Mac functional and fast. Out of beta
and it's ready for action, versiob 4.0.1 is a performance, security and
stability update incorporating Mozilla's Firefox 4.0.1 plus AltiVec acceler
-ation for WebM and browser graphics, and G5 JavaScript acceleration.
For more information, visit:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Source: from http://www.applelinks.com - posted April 25, 2011)
Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
With SilverLight, Microsoft attempted to create their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be - but not to universal acclaim. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac, but even this will not work with Safari 4. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs and does work with Safari 4/5. The solution is to download and install the latest version of Flip4Mac, which now includes a Silverlight component:
http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm
But the latest news is that Microsoft will probably abandon Silverlight in favour of HTML5:

Are you using the Firefox 33.0.1 version?
*Help > About
You can find the full version of the current Firefox 33.0.1 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
You can check if you can start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> by holding down the Shift/Options key.
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I updated to Yosemite on my Mac. Firefox then began to freeze. I uninstalled Firefox and then downloaded/installed it again. How do I recover bookmarks, etc?

I updated to Yosemite on my iMac. Firefox then began to freeze. I uninstalled Firefox and then downloaded/installed it again. It's possible I uninstalled everything Mozilla related. I'm not sure. How do I recover bookmarks, passwords, etc? I don't believe I previously had a username & password for Mozilla. I do have my Mac backed up in Time machine and also a Carbon Copy Clone.
Also, I was able to migrate setting from Safari. Perhaps I don't want some of that stuff? Looking at the list of installed plugins, I have no clue if they're standard Apple/Mozilla stuff, or if they were selected by me/my family earlier in Safari? Are any of them a threat to my online security?
Any detailed instruction would be most appreciated. I'm not much of a tech guy.
Thanks.

You will have to find your previously used profile folder in the Time machine or other backup and restore the wanted files to the current profile folder.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

HELP ME!!! Everytime i try to go to facebook. it redirects me and wont let me pull it up. I tried getting on it thru google and i even tried to download firefox, and it still wont work!!! help please

To where are you redirected? Could this be something your network administrator has done on purpose?

After clicking run to download firefox and its done loading the box just goes away and nothing else comes up

i need help downloading firefox. after clicking download and run from the box that appears the box just dissapears and nothing else comes up

SAVE the installer to your hard drive (do not use the "Run" option); save it to your Desktop so that you can find it. When the download is complete, close whatever browser you have open, click or double-click the file you downloaded and see if it installs without a problem.
The downloader is a self-extracting archive and should not need or use 7-zip. I have 7-zip installed on my system and it does not interfere with nor is it used in the Firefox install process. Hopefully, you have not set the downloading of .exe files to be associated with 7-zip.

I have just downloaded Firefox and browsed with it but in the box headed 'a little housekeeping' the green line is only approx 90% complete. Does this matter please?

Today I downloaded Firefox and successfully accessed my online bank account which IE wouldn't allow me to do so. However, whenever I logon, the box headed 'A Little Housekeeping' appears which has the green line indicating the progress of a little housekeeping frozen at 90% completion. Does this matter?

Download them to iTunes abd then sync the apps. Make an appointment with Apple and see what the problem is.

My Safari suddenly stopped loading Facebook, Google and YouTube. Why? I downloaded Firefox and it's working really well! What's going on?

Over the past two or three weeks, my Safari has bogged down. It will load most Web pages just fine, but YouTube, Google and Facebook just won't launch. I managed to use it to download Firefox and it's working great. Safari is still a no-go.

Hi Jake ...
Those three sites require the Flash plugin.
Quit Safari.
Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try one of those sites.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
If uninstalling and reinstalling Flash didn't help, it could be a cookies issue.
Back to the Safari menu bar again, click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
Click Show Cookies. Then click Remove All > Done
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
