I just downloaded Firefox and want to cancel it.
I got on a site & wanted to download music but it said I had to have one of three downloads. One was Firefox so I downloaded it. I don`t want Firefox (it did not help me anyway). I want to go back to Internet via Explorer on my Start menu. You may gather I am NOT good at this computor stuff!
Go to Add/Remove Programs in Windows Control Panel and then scroll down to '''Mozilla Firefox''' and click '''Remove'''. Make sure you checkmark the box which enables you to remove your bookmarks, customizations etc.
Then reboot and go to C:\Program Files and delete the folder called "'''Mozilla Firefox'''".
Sorry to see you go.

I just downloaded firefox and want to know how to setup my favorites
On my old google account home page, I had saved my regular webpages under my favorites. When I wanted to find them I just brought down that menu and clicked on it without having to search. Does firefox have this functionality, if so, how do I go about setting up my favorite places????

* If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
* Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click on it to make that permanent. See [[Menu bar is missing]]).
* Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
* If you see a missing item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window onto one of the toolbars.
* If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

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?

I've just downloaded and istalled Firefox. IT WILL NOT WORK. No matter what site I try open up (included Firefox's OWN support site) I get the following:
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to support.mozilla.org. Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s). (Error code: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap)
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.
The only reason I installed this is because an academic site I need to use requires Firefox ( my IE 10 is not compatible apparently). This is the MOST useless browser I have ever tried! I mean common SERIOUSLY? I haven't even changed settings, installed add ons, or anything! So whats the point of this browser if you need to be a computer WHIZZ in order to fix it before you can use it? OMW!
I have already reinstalled the damn thing but still useless....Application Basics

Hope this is useful, though I still think it's silly something so "good" should be SUCH an effort to get to work... I'm almost over the effort already> As I said, if it wasn't for the fact that my academic website can only USE Firefox I would have deleted it and not even bothered trying to resolve.... -
nuff said. Why does firefox not recognize the app? why is it asking me to save download (zip file?) instead of just downloading file when prompted? I'm tempted to just give up and let google chrome keep spying on me. At least that service didn't literally start giving me headaches the minute I downloaded
There's two versions of Flash. The ActiveX version for IE and the Plugin version for most other browsers. Firefox needs the Plugin version.

I upgraded from the old Mozilla browser to Firefox and all my bookmarks disappeared. Now what do I do? Also does Firefox have an email system? I'm using Mozilla but don't want to lose all my emails.....thanks
Do you mean you were using Mozilla Seamonkey - or something even older - sometimes called 'The Mozilla Suite'?
If it was SeaMonkey (or the old Suite) then the bookmarks may still be in your SeaMonkey profile:

Firefox does not include an email client. You could use Mozilla Thunderbird

I am unable to use firefox at all. It takes so long to do anything after the first web page loads. Once the first page laods, it freezes and takes several minutes to do anything
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
*https://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/09/hardware-acceleration/
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) 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 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 internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I just downloaded Firefox but want the Thunderbird email app but cannot find it to download
Am new to Firefox, downloaded it a few minutes ago but also need to add the email app Thunderbird, but I cannot locate it on the Mozilla menu to download.
Uninstall the Inbox Toolbar, following steps here:
http://toolbar.inbox.com/faq.aspx?faqid=2876&faqmod=WST_Install#1
Then retry opening Firefox.
You can also try opening Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] (use Continue in Safe Mode first).
If that works, reopen Firefox Safe Mode, but use the dialog option to '''Restore default search engines''' as shown at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode#Safe_Mode_window and press the '''Make changes and restart''' button. -
