Is firefox 16.0.2 compatible with windows 8?

I just ordered a sony vaio e series laptop and I want to know if I'll be able to use firefox on windows 8?
I'm told there may be stability issues?

I've discovered thanks to some helpful folks over on the eightforums web forum that turning off hardware acelleration fixes most if not all of the compatibility issues with firefox as it relates to windows 8.

  • Latest version of firefox program is not compatible with windows 7

    After I updated the latest version of mozilla firefox in my laptop which is a windows 7 program,it doesn't work anymore. Every time I open the firefox, the screen goes black and I can't see anything on the screen but black. And when I troubleshoot and fix the problem, it says that "COLOR SCHEMES IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 7". Program compatibility is the 1.5 version or 1.0. How to fix this one? I uninstalled and already installed a new one but still to no avail the problem is still the same. Should I install the older version? Where to download the older version? It seems that in mozilla firefox website, only the latest version or the 3.0 version is available.

    hello Gracerilla, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
    in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

  • May you tell me: why firefox 7 isn't compatible with Windows 7??

    I'd liked me the last Version of Firefox7; my PC has been worked very well. After I make the respective actualization my PC presented several problems!.. Always told: without the plug ins!..
    I discharged the Above Flash Player & charged it again, several times... however, always repeat the same: not found pulg ins!..
    I need my PC OPTIMIZED!... because I like me see & listen my music in you tube...as well as, to see my pag Web of Soccer!..
    At the present time, I must to put Firefox 5 because I get it in my Yahoo, and my PC is working very good!... but, if it's possible if you give me any help to put firefox 7 for my Windows 7.... Tk u in advance for your information. best rgds. Mary

    I had a similar problem - I assume it is becuase I created a link in the Photo Library to a folder elsewhere on the C: Drive.  Bridge only shows the actual files that reside in that folder and via not any shortcuts.

  • I recently purchased an older model computer with Microsoft Me from 2000. It doesn't have a web browser and I would like to download Firefox. Where do I find the download compatible with Windows Me and how do I download it?

    I have looked in your web site product downloads and I am unable to find a web browser download that is compatible with Windows Me from 2000. What am I missing? Is there a web browser download that is even compatible? It is just a second computer for my grandsons to use and do homework on, but I am unable to get up the internet.

  • Firefox 5 not compatible with windows 7 apparently!! Need to downgrade to previous version. Computer crashes using ff but nothing else.

    Microsoft's site says firefox 3 is compatible with windows 7. however, i've upgraded to firefox 5 and now system crashes to the blue screen.

    I have a laptop running Firefox 5.0 on Windows 7 and don't have problem with it.
    What I suggest you do in the first instance is to start Windows 7 using the '''Last Known Good Configuration''' which will load the operating system the last time it worked properly, instructions here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Using-Last-Known-Good-Configuration
    Then do the following.<br><br>
    #Use Internet Explorer to download Firefox from here: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 5.0.1] and choose "'''Save'''" when you see the prompt and save it to your desktop. ''Do not choose "Run"''.<br><br>
    #Next, uninstall the version you have at the moment via "Programs and Features" in Control Panel choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box'').<br><br>
    #Next, reboot.<br><br>
    #When the system boots to the desktop, delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\ <br><br>
    #Run the installation file you downloaded earlier.<br>
    Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.<br><br>
    I don't know if your bookmarks can be retrieved or not, but the following procedure can be used to make a backup should they still be available.<br><br>
    #Press CTRL+SHIFT+B to open the Bookmarks manager.<br><br>
    #Click the link to '''Import and Backup '''and then click '''Export HTML '''and save the file somewhere.
    You can use the same Bookmarks Manager to import the file you saved by choosing "Import HTML" should that prove to be necessary.

  • Is Firefox 15 compatible with Windows 7- my computer god says"Firefox won't work in Windows 7" so no windows 7 unless I'm willing to switch to IE?

    Looking for information I can (possibly) understand and she (person selling me my next computer with Windows 7), might be willing to look into & re-think. I prefer (most of the time) FF to IE. Although I'm willing, if necessary, to switch from Eudora (my choice) to Outlook (she says both are not compatible with Windows 7), I'm less willing to do so with FF. (Although, more & more with so increasingly many FF 'upgrades', I have become less enamored with FF.)
    Thanks for any help, info and, please, if you do respond, pretend that for a used to be smart person, I'm ... a computer illiterate, moron, OK, OK, not that bright! Thanks Phyllis

    Hi Phyllis! Just to set things clear, Firefox IS compatible with Windows 7.
    Firefox supports Windows 7
    * http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/15.0/system-requirements/
    I don't use Eudora so I can't say anything about it. But just by searching around, the reason why Eudora has difficulty running in Windows 7 is that it saves files to a location that is protected in Windows 7. That means no programs may automatically save files there. There are probably some workarounds but I don't know enough about them to comment about here.
    The main point is that the Firefox browser runs perfectly fine in Windows 7. I'm typing this on Firefox 15.0.1 in Windows 7 64-bit right now too.
    Hope this helps!

    Is Firefox 4.0 now compatible with ZoneAlarm Browser 1.5.260.0 and Windows Vista Home Premium, 64Bit System, Service Pack 2? Earlier when checking for updates there were compatibility issues. Were these issues resolved to allow me secure operation with Firefox 4.0?

  • Is Fios compatible with Windows 7 64-Bit?

    I would like to know if Verizon FIOS is compatible with windows 7 64-bit because I've seen some topics on the internet where there are problems with it. If you need more info about the computer, please let me know, but keep in mind that my computer has pretty decent specs. (corei7 processor, Gigs of ram, ATI Radeon 5770, etc )
    Thanks for any help you can give me.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    To expand on the first reply, I do have FiOS TV and internet, and there is absolutely no need to install any Verizon software on your computer to use the service. I do not currently have any installed on my Windows 7 64-bit system that I am typing this on right now, have been using this laptop since Oct 22, 2009 with Windows 7 on FiOS, works fine.
    And if you do decide you want to install some Verizon software, my experience is that some probably will work, some probably will not. For example, the Verizon Call Assistant (VCA) client didn't work worth a *&^%#@, at least for me, but I don't need it as I have a very reliable Caller ID on TV setup and if I really need to access VCA I can use the website anyway. (and FWIW, that client didn't work correctly on Windows XP either!). I tried the PC-based In-Home Agent client, sort of seemed to work, but since I didn't have any problems or issues that needed to be fixed I deleted it.
    Unless you really need a specific Verizon program, don't worry about it.
    And just for completeness, I have not yet found any sofware, fee or free, from anybody, that won't work with FiOS, be it email (Windows Live Mail), browser (IE, Firefox, Safari, or Chrome), Avast anti-virus, etc, etc, etc. Of course I am sure that there is at least one program out there that won't work, but so far I have not found it 
    Edit: just saw your reply. I pay for 25 mbs down, 15 mbs up service, and I typically get 24+ down and 23+ up, wired or wireless, from multiple speed test sites, no tuning of Windows 7 on my part. It just works for me; some people do seem to have performance and/or connectivity issues, l don't and I don't know why they do. But one thing I will warn you about is that if you have a cordless phone (2.4 GHz) and you decide to use wireless, you may experience some connectivity problems when using the wireless connection, if you do try changing the channel number in the router to 1, 6, or 11.
    Hope this helps.
