Is Firefox 4 as secure as 3.6 or will I encounter bugs that compromise security when making online purchases, viewing bank account, etc.?
I would like to start using Firefox 4 beta, but I am concerned about whether it is secure enough for making online purchases, viewing bank accounts and making transfers, etc.
Sorry but this is NOT what the user asked for AT ALL.

I just intalled version 7 of firefox and afterwards it told me it had disabled a security module for access to my bank account. The account and my company are in Brazil and I am in the US. I must have access to perform transactions. Had the program warned me I would not have "upgraded". To reinstall the security module I must be physically in Brazil because a code is text messaged to my local cell phone as one of the securty precautions and I am in the US and Europe for t3 to 4 weeks. I need to make a wire transfer during that time and cannot do so now. How can I go back to the old version and recover the bank access? Thank you.
You can download last Firefox 6 version from [http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest-6.0/ Here]

I am being prompted to enter security questions when making a purchase on my new IPad. I don't believe I have ever setup security questions on my apple id. I have tried logging into my apple id and have chosen the security and priviacy settings to set up security questions. However I am prompted to enter answers to security questions and am told they don't match. How to I create new security questions or reset them?
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

This morning I had a popup on my Windows XP PC stating that the 4.0.1 update was available. I upgraded. now, i receive the following error: We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We will try to open your tabs/windows when Firefox restarts. You can submit crash report data, blah blah blah (which i have submitted several)
But, firefox DOES NOT ever open. It just pops back up with that same report window, over and over.It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

My server has looked at the problem and we uninstalled Firefox and installed latest version. no change, they think it may be caused by a Firefox add on. Can use internet explorer from the same computer with out this problem. Any ideas?

>_< Safe mode* (and a router reset Just In Case) didn't cure the problem, nor did changing from "use system proxy settings" to "auto-detect proxy settings". I have not, to my knowledge, ever set any proxy settings personally.
*IIRC, I run NoScript, flash, and probably a media plugin or two that came with FF or something (as in, I didn't specifically seek it out). Got an old PDF converter that's been obsolete and was safely Off in its obsolescence, not causing any problems. Nothing particularly Wacky, to the best of my knowledge.

Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

Unfortunately, I already found and implemented that tip. It failed to fix the problem, which prompted me to file this question. :-/ -
if firefox will not let me run avg2012 then I will have to change to a browser that will I have anther computer running on windows 7 and avg2012 but will not use it yet on the net permanently
This problem has been known since version 6 and even 4 it its now v14 please fix this well known problem.Hi I upgraded to 14.1, Avg safe search was disabled. Skype click to call as well but I do not use that function any way, a Video to mp program,again I do not use it..
When I installed it I rebooted my computer, then ran a AVG update,
however to Firefox I do not like running with out the SAFE search, I do have other save guards, but unless Firefox is made to run with the AVG safe search I would advise any one that has important documents on that computer to go to another browser.
that is what I am going to do once I have all my toolbar contacts saved.
I have been using Firefox for many years, it seems that is to come to an end.
My other computer with windows 7 is not connected to the internet, only to connect to steam or other branded secure sites for registered programs.
AVG SAFE SEARCH has protected me until now, so I am very worried. -
There are many web sites that I visit to download statements that are in PDF format. In Firefox 3.6, when I selected a statement to download, Firefox opened a new window that indicated that the PDF is being downloaded. When the download is complete Firefox either opens the document or the document is opened outside of Firefox by Adobe Reader. In both Firefox 4 and 5, the PDF file download never occurs. This functionality has always worked in Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. I currently use Adobe Reader X 10.1.0. I tried going back to Adobe Reader 9.4.5, but this did not make a difference. So I think the problem is in Firefox.

CRM Security: Add Case from associated view on Account
I am having some issues in CRM Online...
Scenario:
User is allowed to Read all Account records in CRM but cannot Write to them. User is allowed to create new Case records and link these to any Account record.
The User must be able to create a Case from within an Account (i.e. from the Case Associated View within an Account Record).
Current implementation:
User as the following security permissions assigned:
Account Entity: Read (ORG); Append (ORG); Append To (ORG)
Case Entity: Create (ORG); Read (ORG); Write (ORG); Append (ORG); Append To (ORG)
Problem:
The User can create a Case record and link this to an Account record
BUT the user does not see the 'Add New Case' button from within the Case Associated View within an Account Record.
The permissions are correct as the user can create cases and link to Accounts but for some reason they do not see the 'Add New Case' button in the associated view.
I have done some testing and if the User has Write permissions on the Account entity then the button appears, but without that it does not. Oddly, there is a similar set up for Contacts, but the user sees the 'Add New Contact' button in the Contacts Associated
view (note that permissions for Contacts is the same as for Cases).
Has anyone encountered this problem or is there something that I am missing here?
ThanksHi,
customise the ribbon for case and make sure Add New Case button is visible all the times. Here is the MSDN article for how to customise the ribbon:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg309639.aspx
Alternatively use ribbon workbench from link below and alter the display rules for the Add New Case button.

I see. Well, I just tried to make IE my default browser, but it did not solve the problem. I receive the same script error when I view the image. (I may not have explained this thoroughly enough at first - I do get to view the image after answering the error message, but the print button embedded in the window doesn't work. Before, I never had a problem with viewing or printing.)
I imagine that at this point I will either need to communicate this to the IE people, or possibly revert to an older version of IE. -
I get this error message: Something is preventing Firefox from updating securely. Please make sure that you have the latest version of Firefox. I have uninstalled and re-installed. It did not work. Support tells me to click on Firefox at the top. I have no word at the top which says Firefox. I have the Firefox icon.
This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder.

Firefox does not allow my on-line bank account security phrase to be retained - why?
Hello,
I have successfully used MS Internet Explorer to log into my on-line bank account in the past. Since changing to Firefox my login process has become incumbered. The bank requires a security phrase as a part of an initial personal PC to bank account security setup measure, which security phrase information is supposed to be retained on my PC for subsequent logins into my on-line account. I still need to enter the usual username and password, but for some reason Firefox does not allow the security phrase information to be retained on my PC and so I have to enter the security phrase each time I log in. I called my bank's IT department and together we tried changing some Firefox settings, but none of them fixed this problem. I also have AVG and Super Antispyware loaded on this PC.
Do you have a solution to this problem?The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4.
Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
* Right click on the Back or Forward button
* Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens

Update failed something is preventing firefox from updating securely how do I fix this ?
Please can someone help me I have been getting from time to time an update box pop up that reads "Update Failed Something is preventing Firefox from updating securely. Please make sure that you have the latest version of Firefox from http://www.firefox.com", however my Firefox is up to date (I think). I have uninstalled then reinstalled but I'm still getting this error. I have been having this issue on and off for a couple of months and although I have posted before about this I'm still without a solution. I have looked into my programs folder as it tells me to in the help information to look for the active-update.xml, updates.xml and the updates folder and it's contents so I can delete them but I can't seem to find them. I'm definately not a computer whizz so any help anyone wants to offer needs to be in step by step form. Thanks

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 20.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will lose all personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
*(64 bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.
