I have tried to upload the latest version of Firefox 5 times - it says it has uploaded but really hasn't. Fooey.
Whatever - it isn't really uploaded -- I have restarted the computer too. I keep getting that warning - this is not the latest version of firefox. It worked fine on my PC.
Ok, let's just do this, it should get you up and running quickly.
Go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com]. Download Firefox 12 from here. Install it over your current Firefox. It should upgrade it to Firefox 12 and keep all your personal data and settings.

Ever since I downloaded the latest version of firefox..is running slower, I am not really liking the new format, is there anyway to go back to the old one?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that 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 from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I keep trying to install the latest version of firefox and it's not working
I'm running firefox 3.something, I think, and I keep trying to install the latest version on my mac. I go through saving it, opening it, dragging the icon to my apps file...and when I drag it to my apps file it takes a few seconds to do *something*, pings at me and then...nothing after that. I try to open it and it tells me I have to close firefox first, so I do (restart even) and when it opens again it still opens the old version.
If there are 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 disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 8.0.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
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

I've tried multiple times to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox. I click download, then run, and shortly after, a little pop-up appears titled "7-Zip" and the message "Access is denied" is within the pop-up.
Try this:
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
*Start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon
It is possible that anti-virus software is causing the problem.
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.

Hi,
I have a problem with my anti virus add on Trend Micro as it has been disabled after I upgrade to FF 4. It said that Trend micro NSC Firefox extension 6.5.0.1234 (disabled).
How do I upload the older version as I need this urgently. Is there any link to download the older version (the version before FF4).
Thank you
Carolina#Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop.<br><br>
#Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).<br><br>
#Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox<br><br>

I am having trouble with some websites, i.e. amazon. It says that it works best with a newer version of safari, firefox, etc.
I had my hard drive crash so when I had the new one installed I tried to download the newest firefox and found it is not compatible with the mac tiger that I need a newer version leopard +
How do I download a version that will work?
ThanksJust repeating what it says above: "Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5".
I have OS X 10. 5 but I am sticking with Firefox 3.6.24. The last time I upgraded to Firefox 4, I had to wait 5 minutes for every mouse click to execute. -

I just updated Firefox today, I have Microsoft Windows XP home edition, version 2002, service pack 3
The FAFSA web site is designed to reject browsers it does not yet support. You could set Firefox to "lie" to the site and tell it you have an earlier version. However, considering the nature of the site, you could end up spending a lot of time working on forms and then not be able to complete them, which would be a major bummer.
So... I suggest using Internet Explorer for this site. If you deleted or hid your IE icon, you can start the program using
Start > Run > iexplore.exe -
Other than headings, all the type on each page in the new version of the browser is showing up as illegible dingbats. (Leaves, symbols, etc.)
You can do a check for corrupted fonts and other font issues:

OK, I'll take you through what happens. When I click download firefox 4 I get a pop up window that asks "what should Firefox do with this file?"
Below I have two choices:
_Open with (choose)
_Save File
So I go to choose and pick an application.
So I choose Acrobate Reader 5.0. Acrobate gives me a popup that says "Acrobat could not open firefox 4.0-4.dmg because it is either not a supported file type or because the fire has been corrupted....
So I try download again (I should point out that I am currently running Firefox 3.6.16) The popup that asks me to choose a file to open firefox 4.0.dmg pops up again.
So I choose Adobe Reader 9. Nothing happens. So I cancel.
So what application should I go to to open Firefox 4.0.dmgsee also these pages and threads about Fast Browser Search (FBSMTWB in the user agent).

My laptop is getting on a bit, does it have the capacity to handle these upgrades?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") -
Example. I searched for NYT.COM. In past the system remembers and when I start typing ny it immediately fills in nyt.com and other options related to nyt.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

Hi,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
If you would like to take a listing of the add-ons, important preferences/settings etc. to quickly replicate the previous profile, please open '''Troubleshooting Information''' via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H'''), '''Copy all to clipboard''' and paste it into MS Office Excel, or OpenOffice/LibreOffice Calc, or notepad. However, it would be a good idea to check for the existence of the issue immediately after the reset.
After the reset, you can then [https://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Toolbar-Norton-Identity/Firefox-17-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/853416 update Norton products]. Please also see the workaround.

Check the pref dom.storage.enabled on the about:config page and make sure that the pref is set to true.
