I recently downloaded Firefox 9, and "successfully" installed it. However, I'm getting a prompt on start-up saying I'm not on the latest version. If I click on "upgrade", I'm informed that I'm "up to date". What gives? Do I just ignore the prompt?

No other details.

You should change your Homepage. 
See - [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page How to set the homepage]
This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox. I think that Google assumes that you are using an older version of Firefox, as they hard-coded that "upgrade" message into that page - all versions of Firefox see that message.
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 recently downloaded Firefox 4 and now everything I send to my printer comes out jumbled. What can I do to fix this? Was able to print fine with 3.6.

Print is scattered all over the page(s). There is no real pattern to the jumble. Didn't have this problem with the older version. I use a Canon printer on my wireless network.

There is a bug involving printing in beta 12, this is fixed in Firefox 4 release candidate which is due out soon.

When I downloaded v6.0 again and tried to re-install it I keep getting an error messsage that said that I had to reboot to fully remove the previous copyof v6.0. However when I did reboot I get the same error message. I'm sort of stuck in a loop and can't figure out how I can re-install v6.0. I am running Windows XP on a Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop.

Please do the following.
Click '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''. The option to update should appear and version 3.6.17 should download and install.
However, sometimes things go pear-shaped and you get version 3.5.19. If that happens, repeat the same steps to update to 3.6.17.
Once you have 3.6.17 installed, you'll get the opportunity to update to the current version which is 4.0.1 ''Please don't do that for the moment because you first of all have to update your plugins''. To do the latter, please do the following.
Go to http://www.java.com/en/ and install the latest version of Java.

I have firefox 10.0.2 installed but everytime I open up firefox I get a message that says I am not currently using this version and I need to update to the latest version and why won't firefox support printing mac coupons

my firefox info shows that I am using 10.0.2 but I keep getting a repeated message when I open it saying I'm not using the most recent version.
Even tho the mac coupon printer says firefox supports this install it doesn't allow me to print it.

Hi cleopt,
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 downloaded firefox 4 and now it will only go to work offline how do I get on the internet

I cannot get on the interet. I downloaded firefox 4 and it says it will only work offline. where do I change this

'''rweeks''':
One of the changes in Firefox 4: '''''by default''''' Firefox 4 does not display the "Save Tabs and Exit" warning message when closing multiple tabs, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
*Saving tabs was not removed from Firefox 4, but it works a bit differently.
**By default, Firefox 4 will not ask to save tabs, but instead it will always save your tabs on exit. You can restore them next time by choosing "Restore Previous Session" from the History menu, or pressing the restore button on Firefox's default home page.
**''Note: This was a decision by the developers. On this forum, we are all '''uncompensated volunteers''' here to help other users. The developes/employees of Mozilla/Firefox rarely, if ever visit here.''
Also make sure you do not clear "Browsing History" when using Clear Recent History:
*https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History
To display the "Save Tabs and Exit" message when closing multiple tabs, you can do the following:
#Type '''''about:config''''' in the URL/Location/Address bar and press the Enter key
#Accept the warning message (promise to be careful)
#The preferences page/list will open
#Filter = '''''browser.tabs.warnOnClose'''''
#If its value is set to false, double-click on it (in the lower panel) to toggle its value to true
#Repeat steps 4 and 5 for these following 3 preferences also:
#*'''''browser.warnOnQuit'''''
#*'''''browser.warnOnRestart'''''
#*'''''browser.showQuitWarning'''''
#**Note: last pref is new in Firefox 4b12, may need to add (boolean)

Could I download firefox 20 and 21 and use one for personal and one for professional purposes.

I am currently using Firefox for my work at home job but I am also taking online classes and my school recommends Firefox as their supported browser. My Job recommends using a separate browsers for personal needs. My question is could I download lets say Firefox 22 and use that for professional purpose and download Firefox 21 and use that for completing my school work.

You can only open the Profile Manager if all Firefox instances are closed.
You can install multiple Firefox versions via a custom install in different installation folders and only use the older Firefox version when you really need it. 
Do a custom install and install each version in its own program folder to use multiple Firefox versions.

I downloaded Firefox 5 and discovered it disabled my McAfee SiteAdvisor becauce of incompatability. How do I delete the Firefox 5 and reload my old Firefox 4 so I can reactivate the SiteAdvisor.

I downloaded Firefox 5 and discovered it disabled my McAfee SiteAdvisor because of incompatibility. No compatible version of the SiteAdvisor was found. How do I delete the Firefox-5 and reload my old Firefox-4 so I may reactivate the SiteAdvisor?
Thank you

McAfee have taken the decision to rewrite the Firefox SiteAdvisor plugin to make it easier to update. This should ensure that Mozilla's fast-release schedule does not cause lengthy delays after future version updates. What it means for Firefox now though is that until the rewrite is complete - and tested - SiteAdvisor is being prevented from loading in Firefox in order to avoid the possibility of software incompatibility.
The SA rewrite is projected to take a few weeks to complete and test; it should be ready by about the third week of July, although the exact date is not being given at this stage. It could be earlier.
In the meantime, users who are concerned about the safety of websites may wish to consider WOT as a temporary substitute. WOT ratings are set by user consensus rather than by automated site testing, so WOT is not a full replacement for SiteAdvisor. It is, however, a good rating tool in its own right (I use both it and SiteAdvisor in all my browsers) and is apparently unaffected by the upgrade to FF5.
There is a discussion about this on the McAfee forums [https://community.mcafee.com/thread/36733?tstart=0 HERE]

Hello,
There are no files like that in that folder (com.apple.safari). They all have long numbers with .jpeg or .png at the end. That's what I meant by I cannot find any files like those mentioned in all the helps I read today. BTW-it's still crashing - no particular pattern to it at all.
The only two things I have downloaded recently is a new version of Flash and a Mac-driven update to Office.
Thank you very much for your attempt to help us.

I downloaded Firefox 4 and tried to launch it. The message said that Firefox will not work with this version of Mac OX. Please advise.

I downloaded Firefox 4 and installed it. When I tried to launch it, a message came up saying that Firefox will not work with this version of Mac OSX. Now I have no Firefox. How can I get Firefox 3.6 back on my Mac? How can I make Firefox 4.0 work? Please advise.

Thanks for the reply so quickly! Is the tenfourfox going to be be just as safe and as high of quality as the Firefox 4? Also since Mozilla's website says, "Firefox 3.6.x will be maintained with security and stability updates for a short amount of time. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 4" does that mean if I go back to 3.6 there will be security and stability issues after a "short amount of time"?

I downloaded Firefox 4 and it won't open unless I open Thunderbird first.

Thank you. I noticed that the file on my computer was not as large as it was supposed to be, so I downloaded it first thing this morning and was able to open and install it. Thanks for the help to all.

I recently downloaded firefox 4.0 but i get a message saying it is off line. How can I select to put it on line

I downloaded Firefox 4 and installed it. When I tried to open it I got a message saying uncheck the "work offline" item then try again.

Exactly what is the message you get and when. Presumably you are using IE9 to download the Firefox Installer file.
Try the site http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html to download the latest Firefox version in the correct language.

I downloaded firefox 6, and restarted computer, but the message under the search window says I don't have the latest firefox. I tried twice. thank you

I downloaded Firefox 6 and restarted computer, but the message under the search window says I don't have the latest Firefox. I tried twice. Thank you.

I have a similar problem; but I think the cause of the "already running" message is that my computer crashed.
I rebooted before I learned to look for the parent lock file, but even when I knew to look for it, I found my original profile folder to be empty.
So I created another profile folder, and FF works, but I cannot access my old profile folder. When I open the location where it should be, nothing's there. But if I go to profile manager, I see my original profile is still there (and it has a location, it's where it should be - and where it's invisible, but even if I type in this location, nothing comes up).
I tried making all folders visible (I run Windows 7), but this did not make my old profile visible.
I want to find it because of the bookmarks I bookmarked recently.

I recently downloaded Firefox 9, and "successfully" installed it. However, I'm getting a prompt on start-up saying I'm not on the latest version. If I click on "upgrade", I'm informed that I'm "up to date". What gives? Do I just ignore the prompt?
