I have to visit a website that requests mozilla firefox 1.5 or 2.0, I am running the latest from mozilla firefox, how will I revert to mozilla firefox 1.5 or 2.0 for this purpose and then back to current model to continue?

I need to visit the HSBC Careers Site website, to perform some sort of assessment for a job I'm applying for; the site asks me to use mozilla firefox 1.5 or 2.0 I, I may of course, be just stupid, but I don't see how I might achieve this trick? Any suggestions gratefully accepted

You can use the portable Firefox version for websites that only work with older Firefox versions.
You can find the portable Firefox 2.0.0.20 version under "Mozilla Firefox, P.E. Legacy > Mozilla Firefox":
Win: http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla%20Firefox,%20P.E.%20Legacy/
Are you sure that the HSBC bank site only supports such an old Firefox version?
A bank site should known better then to force visitors to use old and no longer supported browser versions.
Can you post a link to a page that you can access without authorization (log in) that gives such an error message ?
Do they have a help page that list supported browsers?

How do I add an web site icon on to my desktop directly from Mozilla Firefox as I did with Internet Explorer 8 by right click my mouse and send to desktop?

>If they could actually save the filled in document that would be just as good because they could attach it to an e-mail
In Acrobat Pro, open the form and go to the Advanced menu and choose enable usage rights for Reader users.
Now, they will be able to fill out the form and save it to send it back to you in an email.
Be aware that there is a 500 use per form limit so this isn't a good answer for high volume use forms.

There is s Scam going around through Email using Mozilla Firefox's name! Did you know that?

Unable to read email with mozilla firefox. The online graphics are missing and the links are unable to be accessed when I try to click on them

Having issues with being able to assess my email on Mozilla Firefox. When I sign in, the graphics are missing. Once I'm logged in, the inbox is not there. Some thing is wrong graphically. There are work links for inbox and contacts, but they are all flushed to the left of the screen. When I attempt to click on them, nothing happens. I have tried to remove Firefox and then reinstall it but the same thing happens. I also attempted to reset firefox to its default state and that did not work either. I check plug ins and most are up to date. However, not clear for window presentation foundation is and if it was necessary to have. The plug in state was unknown. Please advise on what to do? Thanks!

I can no longer send or respond to email from my Firefox browser. I closed and sent from Internet explorer and it works fine. What changed? The only thing different this morning, I downloaded Adobe uprade?

Question
I can no longer send or respond to email from my Firefox browser. I closed and sent from Internet explorer and it works fine. What changed? The only thing different this morning, I downloaded Adobe uprade?

I had this hotmail issue myself a while back. I Googled, scanned MS website, scanned MSN website, visited forums, couldn't figure it out. I tried Firefox and Opera and even changed the Opera mask setting from Opera to Internet Explorer. Nothing worked. My best guess was that I was signing on (with the new MSN Live as opposed to MSN Hotmail - the OLD interface) with the "Remember me on this computer?" box checked. I now make sure it is un-checked (which is not the default) and hotmail lets me in.
Not exactly sure if that is the real remedy, but thot I'd throw the story your way just in case...

I received a phishing email from what I thought was my bank. Do I need to do anything to my MAC for security?

I received a phishing email from what I thought was my bank. Do I need to do anything to my MAC for security? I have no anti-virus software.

Evelyn, there is nothing that can prevent you or anyone from falling victim to those attempts to defraud you – other than you.
"Phishing" scams are the most common way of getting people to voluntarily supply information that should be kept as secure as any other personal possession. "Anti-virus" solutions can't possibly prevent that sort of fraud, and if anything can only lull you into falsely believing you're being protected from threats, be they real or perceived.
Do you have any further advice so that I don't fear my Mac?
There is no reason to fear your Mac; it's a tool to be used for your sole benefit. Like any tool though, it can be misused. If there is any explanation for fear, it's a lack of education. Knowledge conquers fear and renders it inert. Learn what real threats actually exist, how to defend yourself from them, and how to distinguish them from those propagated by fear mongering psychopaths that justify their existence by keeping others misinformed. There are an abundance of the latter.
There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up", "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
"Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements
If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it. The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

I recieved a phishing email from amazon.

I recieved a phishing email from amazon. I opened it on my ipod and entered information (stupid, I know). I didn't realize it was a scam. Apparently it is some kind of trojan virus. Is my ipod safe? What should I do now?

Your iPod is fine. However, if you entered the requested information on the web site you were directed to, you have given that information to hackers. I don't know what information that was, but if you "logged in" to "Amazon" on that page, you need to immediately change your Amazon password. Make it a strong password that has no relation at all to your old password. Then check your Amazon purchase history to see if someone bought a bunch of stuff on your dime.

The words underneath the shortcut icon for Firefox having changed inexplicably from Mozilla Firefox to BOLB should I be concerned?

On my wife's computer the words below the Mozilla Firefox shortcut icon suddenly and without any action on her part that she is aware of changed from "mozilla Firefox" to "BOLB". Clicking the icon opened Firefox without problems.
Deleting the icon and re-creating it solved the problem in terms of the icon appearing as it used to and should but I'm concerned that there may be an underlying issue. Should we be worried? We use and religiously update AVAST antivirus software (the free version).

Sorry that should have been the Firefox shortcut on your desktop and not the desktop.
You can right-click the Firefox icon on your desktop and open the Properties and place a check mark in the Read-only check box. That will prevent other program from modifying the name or other properties of that shortcut.

Says invalid serial number-i got it via email from adobe. (CS6 design standard student edition).

says invalid serial number-i got it via email from adobe. (CS6 design standard student edition).

I think that you'll need to get in touch with support to sort this out.
But you could check your order to see if you ordered and upgrade or a new purchase. The serial numbers for upgrade are different, and require the earlier version on your computer ( or its serial number instead).
If you've oredered an upgrade, check that you're entering the correct serial number. You'll probably be prompted to enter both: once for qualifying product and once for the new upgrade.
Let us know if this was the issue. If not, I suggest that you get in touch with Adobe Support.

What do I do if I have received a phishing email from HMRC?

I have received a phishing email from HMRC which I opened. I then deleted it. Do I need to do anything to remove any potential threat?

No but if that happans again, "forward" the email to Apple at this address: [email protected]
Apple wlll never send you an email asking you to verify your Apple ID.

Subscribe to podcast feeds in iTunes from Mozilla Firefox

In Mozilla Firefox, how can I add iTunes as an application to subscribe to podcast feeds, so that it shows as an option in the drop-down menu of the preview page? I've selected the iTunes.exe file through the "Choose Application" option, iTunes shows as an option, I select it and when I click on "Subscribe Now" iTunes opens but it does not add the new subscription. I am running Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3, Mozilla Firefox 3.6.12, iTunes 10.1.0.54 Thank you!

You can add directories to podcast application to use for searching.
Or you can enter the RSS url to add new podcasts.

Go to Mail Preferences>Accounts, click the '+' button below the list of accounts and insert the settings, username and password as instructed. Some account types can be set up automatically as soon as Mail knows the emails address (because the server settings are built in), in other cases you will have to get them from your ISP.
