I downloaded the new firefox but I am unable to use it

Every time I click on firefox, it will show me a alert and then it will open a blank page.

This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

  • I downloaded the new Firefox but it constantly freezes, doing absolutely nothing, and I can't even close it from my Mac dock bar, I have to turn off my laptop using the power button as Firefox won't let me shut down. What can I do?

    Hi
    I recently downloaded the new Firefox (Firefox 4, I think - you can tell I'm very tech savvy!) and it constantly freezes, I can't do anything with it at all - I can't even close it from the icon in my Mac dock bar.
    I have tried restarting my computer - though I have to turn it off by using the power button as as Firefox is open and totally unresponsive it won't let me shut down. About a minute after re-starting Firefox, restoring my tabs or starting afresh, it freezes again.
    This is obviously very annoying and I'm not sure what I can do about it. Firefox is my preferred browser, and I'd really like to be able to use it again!

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • I downloaded the new firefox but it says it is not compatible with my MAC. Can I just go back to the old version?

    I downloaded the 4.0 version of firefox but when it finished and I tried to open it it told me "You cannot use the Application Firefox with this version of Mac OS X" ...okay so I didnt know that- it just told me to download it. So is there a way to get the old version of firefox back? I don't want to continue using safari if I can avoid it.
    Help!

    You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try.

    Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try. The tab will show the website destination in the navigation bar, but will not automatically load it; I have to press the load button in the navigation bar instead of it instantly loading.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == The newest version, 3.6.6, of Firefox was downloaded

    It's not specific sites. I can middle-click on the same link 50 times and it will open it in a new tab 45 times and 5 of those times, it will randomly open it in an entirely new window. I don't know what's causing this.
    It happens so randomly that I don't know how to pin-point what it could be.

  • I downloaded the updated Firefox, but the ad-on for converting YouTube music videos to mps files is now unavailable. How do I get it back? Why was this feature disabled?

    I downloaded the updated Firefox, but the ad-on for converting YouTube music videos to mps files is now unavailable. How do I get it back? Why was this feature disabled?
    In the former Firefox version there was a box to click for converting YouTube music videos into HQ mp3 files. That box is no longer apparent in the new Firefox version. I went back to Ad-On s and re-downloaded the program YouTube to MP3 1.2. It says it's not compatible with Firefox 6.0. Can I reinstall the older version of Firefox?

    When I clicked on the second site mentioned, I got such EXPLICIT, step-by-step directions!!! Thank you so much. I'd been wondering what that window was that kept popping up with the Firefox icon and that other funny thing. The word *install* was never mentioned. Pictographs were never my thing.
    When I looked under the initial system requirements, it said that OS X 10.4.5 and higher were good for 5.0. I didn't check further. Under your advice, I'll go with the older version. Thank you for taking the time to help me.

  • Downloaded the new firefox 4, it disabled the ability to use my email client.

    I downloaded the new Firefox 4. It disabled my email client Outlook express. Tried all suggested fixes. Removed 4 and reinstalled 3.6 . Same problem is now carrying over to my older firefox. All settings to fix do not work. What do I do now?

    You are actually using a very old version of Firefox that was released in 2008 (Firefox 3). Go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com] and download the newest Version. Install it. [[Install Firefox on Mac]]. This will update your Firefox, but keep all your bookmarks, etc.
    Also, Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].

  • Im using window vista and i've downloaded the new update but cant find it anywhere on my laptop?

    im using window vista and i've downloaded the new update but cant find it anywhere on my laptop?

    I have already tried removing firefox from my firewall. Even when I do that, my firewall doesn't detect firefox and prompt me to add it. And when I manually add it, it still doesn't work anyways. I've already tried the link as well, but it has been unhelpful. :/
    I'm not sure if it matters, but a few weeks before this, I did download Microsoft Security Essentials.

  • Where can I download the new Firefox 4.0?

    Where on this page (http://www.mozilla.com/fi/firefox/?ref=logo) can I download the new Firefox 4.0? The downloads are redirected to this page but I can not find the downloadable document..

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    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
    * Firefox 3.6.x: 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.

  • When I downloaded the new Firefox about a week or two ago all my bookmarks, and add-ons disappeared and I want you to give them back to me asap?

    When I downloaded the new Firefox about a week or two ago all my bookmarks, and add-ons disappeared and I want you to give them back to me asap?

    You shouldn't wait that long to ask advice. Firefox only keeps a (rotating) backup of bookmarks for the last 5 days that you started Firefox. So you may be out of luck.
    You can check that you still use your old default profile that had your bookmarks.<br />

  • I just downloaded the new Firefox 4, rebooted, and viewed you videos re the new look and new features. Problem is, my toolbars look no different than before. The new icons you talk about do not appear on my screen. Please advise. Thank you.

    The Firefox icon is the default feature for Windows Vista and 7 only, it does not apply to Windows XP users.
    To have the Firefox icon instead of the Menu Bar:
    View > Toolbars and UNCHECK the Menu Bar.
    After that, click on the Firefox icon and you'll have the Menu Bar appear again.

  • I've paid $ 3,99 for Xcode for Snow Leopard. Now there is a new Xcode for Lion, so I downloaded the new one but the installed continued to be the old one. Now App Store says "Installed" and don't allow me to re-download Xcode. How can I proceed?

    I've paid $ 3,99 for Xcode for Snow Leopard 12 days ago. After installing Lion I saw there is a new FREE Xcode for it, so I downloaded the new one but after installing automatically Xcode for Lion the Developer folder contained the old one. I deleted the old Xcode but the App Store says "Installed" and don't allow me re-download Xcode.
    How can I proceed? I'm guessing whether this problem will occur each time I buy an application from App Store.

    Yes, that's righ, Xcode installer was in the Apps folder. I assumed it had been automatically installed and the installer deleted after installation (the same way as Lion is installed).
    I tried also the procedure for redownloding applications, and MAS showed both Xcodes (Lion and Snow Leopard) and OS X Lion. We see that buttons for Lion and Xcode for Snow Leopard say 'Install' but Xcode for Lion says 'installed' because there is an Install Scode in the Apps folder.
    Thank you.
