I have three issues that i came across in the latest version of firefox (16) n firefox beta?
I am using a samsung galaxy s3 international which i just updated to latest jelly bean. For Flash Player to work on it i downloaded the .apk online n installed the latest one. My problems are now when i use firefox for android i have the following problems.
1.) Flash videos in full screen have stopped showing the video controls (this is play, pause, etc.). i.e. they just disapear as soon as i switch to full screen, n are there when i press back to minimize.
2.) Another issue is when watching flash player in full screen mode the phone auto-locks while i am watching the video which is an issue because when i unlock the phone the video automatically minimize and crash. Please introduce a feature which stops the phone from auto locking when the browser is in use and when i stop using the browser it automatically turns on.
3) Even when 1 tab is only open the browser after some time of use at times it just freezes completely and to make it work again i need to go to home screen, and completely remove it by swiping it off from the multitasking bar and then open the app again for it to work fine.
Now i know most of you would say that my main issue here is with using flash player and therefore i should use another browser which runs it more stably, but the main reason i want firefox to address this issue is because the browser has adblock plus which in my opinion is the only best feature that makes browsing flash content on a mobile browser more user friendly. This is because when watching flash videos in other browsers one accidental tap in the video player ad or webpage ad which can easily happen due to the smaller screen n huge fingers would open up new or several new unwanted tabs of ad bloatware which starts to make browsing experience really bad in every other browser.
So Please firefox or anybody fix this issues or teach me how to fix them myself.
Thankyou.
Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended. Version 3.6.18 would be a safer choice.
Here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 5.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: If you don't have Firefox ask you before updating, you may need to set that to prevent an automatic update back to Firefox 5. Tools > Options > Advanced, Update mini-tab

When I click the firefox icon it tells me that I have firefox 8.0.1.Under is written Firefox-is-up-to-date (shadow line) It also mentions that I use the release-update channel.
When i start firefox there is a warning that I do not use the latest versionThis - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained by Google.
Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same. -
I have an IBM Think Pad and since installing the latest version of Firfox, the trackpoint scrolling on my mouse no longer works
Try to modify the pref ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled on the about:config page from the default value -1 to 0 or 1 to see if that makes the scroll pad work.<br />
Close and restart Firefox after changing the pref.
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -
I updated the latest version of iOS software on my Macbook Pro and now when I try to open up iPhoto it says that I need to update the latest version. But when I go to update on iTunes, it says the latest version is unavailable to the U.S. I wouldn't mind leaving it be but I can't access any of my photos. What do I do?

The latest version of Firefox tends to not agree with my windows 7 starter netbook. I get a lot of hangups and crashes. I would like to download Firefox 4 again but can't seem to find it on your site in order to download it. Do you have any other suggestions that would be a good fit for windows 7 starter?
Also, I keep getting messages saying that Firefox is causing high CPU and memory usage on my netbook.Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended. Version 3.6.18 would be a safer choice.

Backstory: There are two possible events that could be causing this
1: At some point I may have followed a ''Tinyurl' link that consquently lead me to a youtube video, to which youtube worked perfectly fine before hand, and this is where i witnessed the first crash. Theories into whether this link, previously stated, may have done something to my system have been thought about, but the fact that youtube still works on the latest Microsoft Internet Explorer seems to present the idea of a virus or an error redundant. I own the latest Macfee antivirus software and Ccleaner(running the registry check) and have run them complete with disc defragment and scan disc error recovery along with an additional malware scanner. Nothing seems to have come up on anything. After doing all this, my last resort was System restore and this seemed to solve the problem, mainly because i had an earlier version of firefox. therefore i resisted updating for aslong as possible whenever it told me to update. but the otherday i thought i'd risk it again thinking it may have been a problem alot of people have been having and it would of been fixed, but sadly it hasn't. this lead me to google the problem and was advised to start firefox on 'safe mode' as there may have been a confliction between add ons or plugins with youtube or some thing like that, but sadly that hasn't worked either. The plugins i had installed with it were the ones firefox has told me to get, or recommended and the only two addons i had on firefox was Adblock plus (fanboy subscrip) and Noscript.
Details of what actually happens: go to a youtube link, video loads for about 2 seconds(both video and audio), screen freezes, and flashes maybe once with some small lines across the bottom half of the screen horizontally towards the right corner, then the screen goes blank and makes my laptop dorment, but still running, thus I restart my system.
Sadly now when I system restore there isn't a point far back enough before this problem. So its either i downgrade(which seems to be the only option) or simply stop using firefox, as internet explorer works perfectly fine. however running firefox with no scrip and adblock plus is the ideal browser customisation, which is why this is rather annoying.
so number 1 was the tinyurl theory and i must admit i was abit foolish to follow such a random link, but whats happened has happened.
2: basically there is a major disfunction with the latest firefox that has to with the addons i have included onto firefox and this seems to be causing a terrible effect on my system.
in a nutshell: firefox worked perfectly before upgrading to the new firefox and before i followed this link, the rest of my system is completely normal and virus and error free or so it says, Other browsers seem to work also. safe mode does not cure the problem.
Running on a customised Dell laptop, which is pretty midrange-toprange and hasn't been active long, so it has the general HD video card thats included in all Studio 15 Dell laptops.
any help appreciated.

I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6. -
Why is it we have to go to the trouble of paying for and upgrading the OS version, i currently have 10.4.11, just to download the latest I-Tunes onto my Mac. We have a P.C running I-Tunes and we can download the latest version without the "upgrade". Our I-phones/I-Touches work on the P.C without a problem.
Surprisingly enough... I think this is the first time I've seen that question asked. Apple regularly makes significant changes to the underlying code in their OS when they release new versions. This sometimes breaks compatibility with earlier versions of software/applications. This helps to keep the operating system lean and avoids the performance issues which can build up over time with attempting to maintain compatibility with older versions of software. Microsoft cannot make significant changes to thier underlying code as they need to maintain backwards compatability for quite a few years (mostly to support the vast majority of businesses that run on the Windows platform). Apple needs to regularly update iTunes in order to address new features/hardware, but it also updates it to be compatible with newer versions of the OS (nearly every update to OS X comes with an update to iTunes). Unfortunately, sometimes the latest version may no longer be compatible with older versions of the OS.

I plan to upgrade from CS5 to the latest version but I have several older versions (software/booklets,etc) that I want to sell. In order to upgrade will I need serial #'s and/or license #'s from past versions (besides CS5)?
There is a benefit to upgrade to Creative Cloud for you get all the new features in ACR and Photoshop. However you also get the new bugs Adobe introduces. And you also need to have several versions of Photoshop installed For Adobe is removing features and changing API so the newer versions of Photoshop have different features and capabilities. Currently there are three versions of Photoshop included in the cloud.
You will not see Old Photoshop Version CS6 getting bug fixes or the latest features of ACR. In fact the Perpetual CS6 versions are different then the Cloud version of CS6.
CS 6 perpetual are version 13.0.6 Mac and version 13.0.1.3 PC these install in two flavors Standard or Extended where extended has features like 3D that are not in the Standard flavor. Cloud CS6 is the full CS6 Extended version 13.1.2 Mac and PC. There some fixes in the cloud version not in the perpetual versions and some Plug-in support has been removed in the cloud version of CS6 but still exists in the perpetual CS6 version. -
I downloaded the latest version of iTunes on my MacBook Pro and now when I open iTunes I can not access the iTunes store; however, I can access the Apps store. I have tried reinstalling iTunes. I have tried changing the pop up/cookie settings in Firefox and Safari. I have logged out and also shut down my MacBook. I have tried changing the Firewall settings on my MacBook. I have googled possible ways to get the iTunes store to work and nothing has helped so far. Please help.
It will never automatically update. You always will ahev to tell it to update. it will never update unless you tell it to.
The pics and music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. The ipod is not a backup device.
Cop everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one. -
On my firefox start up screen, I get the message that I am not running the latest. It asks that I upgrade now. However, under "about firefox," I am running 9.01, the latest version. I'd like to know why I'm getting this message and how I can get rid of it.
Thank you.Hi jerzyguitar,
You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. That page is no longer being maintained by Google.
You should try changing your home page to:
about:home
If you don't know how to change the home page, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
Hopefully this helps -
I have checked the version and found it is the latest. The message appears below the FireFox Start box.
I am seeing the same thing as you are. Its probably because that earlier Google homepage was used in earlier Firefox versions. So the page thinks that you are still using a previous version of Firefox.
Change the homepage to the following address:
* http://www.google.com/webhp?rls=ig
Check and tell if its working. -

Your carrier controls when you will receive the update, if ever. Only for those devices purchased directly via ShopBB does BB control the release.
You can move beyond it if you choose. But there are many problems via some of the methods. Therefore, I am down to just one recommended method to install this OS version.
I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader method:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
Good luck and let us know!
