    why does not the scroll on tbody in new versions of Firefox and how it can solve the problem?

    scrolling overflow on tbody is no longer supported because that is not allowed in CSS 2.1 specification.

  • I just downloaded the new version of Firefox and now every site I used to use such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube show "This Connection Is Untrusted"

    I just downloaded the new version of Firefox and now every site I used to use such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube show "This Connection Is Untrusted". Even when I do accept the risks the site no longer looks the way it's looked for years. Twitter doesn't even give me the option to accept the risks at all and shows this error (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer). I've tried resetting Firefox, I've checked the time and date, and I've removed and added Firefox to see if that would work. Nothing seems to be working so I can see the sites the way they normally would be instead of "coded". Can anybody help me please?!!! Thanks

    ok, unfortunately the fiddler2.com issuer in certificates might be a sign of unwanted software present on your pc that is intercepting secure network traffic. please go into the system control panel and uninstall programs like BrowserSafeguard, BrowserSafe, SafeGuard or other software that sounds suspicious and didn't get installed by you intentionally.

    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 7.0.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 loaded what I guess is the new version of Firefox and it completely changed my whole task bar. I don't have my Norton Logins with stored passwords, and it's hard to find my favorites. Help get it back to how it was.

    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data. See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • Can anyone make dreamweaver compatible with the new version of chrome and how much it would cost?

    Need to have someone update my site to make it visible online - it's not showing properly in the new version of chrome --- and how much it would cost.

    In addition to the numerous code errors mentioned by Jim, you're making a huge mistake with Flash navigation.  It's deadly for site visitors who don't have Flash supporting devices.  How will people navigate your site?  I would rebuild your 5-page site from the ground up with HTML5, CSS and ditch all those old school tables.

  • I got the new version of firefox and I have lost the tools at the top of my page such as the refresh butten. how can i get this back

    I downloaded the new version of firefox. I restarted my computer. I no longer have the tools at the top of my page such as the refresh button. I need help getting those buttons back.

    Firefox 4 uses a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end side of the location bar.<br />
    During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button.<br />
    If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button.<br />
    Middle-click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.<br />
    To move the Stop and Reload buttons to their position to the left of the location bar you can use these steps:
    * Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * Drag the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position to the left of the location bar.
    * Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
    * Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.

  • I have to new version of FireFox and it doesn't allow me to use my Go daddy Email account. Go daddy said this is a beta version, so its not reading Go daddy's java script

    This new version of FireFox is in beta. I cannot send email with my Go Daddy web based email service. Go daddy tech support says this FireFox in beta is not reading Go Daddy's java script. That why I cannot send email with FireFox. Can I install the older version back. If so how?

    Hmmm, Norton extensions are broken again in Firefox 4.0.1. It seems that Norton didn't allow for Firefox 4.0 security updates when they updated their Firefox extension for Firefox 4.0. Norton says they'll have a fix in two weeks. A Norton user posted a fix in this forum thread.

  • Downloaded new version of Firefox and now when I do a search I don't see any text of my results, just the heading.

    Downloaded new version of Firefox 3.6.12. When I do a search the results on the screen use to have a heading and then a small description for each result. Now all that comes up is the heading. How can I get it back to the way it was?

    I have the shortcuts on my browser to the sites that I go to frequently. It's when I press those buttons (which have always worked before and I checked their URLs) it takes me to the Yahoo Page not Found page. But then when I click the shortcut button again, it usually works.

  • I constantly get the message "uninstal set javascript application since downloading new version of Firefox today - how do I get rid of this

    I downloaded the new version of Firefox today and ended up with the error box or message -javascript application - uninstall set. I cannot get rid of it and it appears with every key stroke. It's on everything I use on Firefox.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How do I enable the scripts? I downloaded the new version of Firefox and now I need to manually allow scripts?

    I downloaded the new version of Firefox on my XP system. Now to get the scripts working I need to click to allow??

    Your list of add-ons includes '''''NoScript'''''. See their website for a description, use, and a link to their forum.

  • Both Firefox & IE crash even when I have disabeled plug-ins. I have installed new version of Firefox and problem continues. Seems to be related to Flash, but not sure. Firefox will stay open if I go to a page like Google. Also crashes in safe mode.

    Both browsers seem to crash when the web page wants plug ins to access pages. Simple ones like Google's home page, or these for example, work fine. I have run several scans with security software, including Malware (latest database), and they don't find anything.

    The problem began because my computer had to be sent in because it wouldnt turn on so i had to get it fixed they replaced the motherboard this was the second time the motherboard was replaced and once they did that my firefox hasnt worked the same. I can go on google chrome but thats not what i prefer to use.
    & when i right click on firefox it says troubleshoot so im assuming its built in to my computer. im not sure.
    I tried the profile manager to create a new profile and that has seemed to work so far. No crashing but it does freeze when i got to facebook and then i have to click ctr alt delete to open task manager to end firefox. It happened twice, the third time i went to google, then twitter and it didnt freeze. I then went to youtube and it froze. So Facebook and youtube make it freeze. Any idea why it does that?
    & thank you so much for helping and responding to me.

  • I use Firefox and Windows 7, when I'm using my main account on computer it starts old version of firefox and when I use the guest account it start the new version. Why and how to fix it?

    Guy that repairs my computer asked me if i saved new firefox just on guest account, but i didn't, i re-installed it again and again.

    Apparently it's related to the Firefox plug in.
    This isn't exactly a solution but more of a way to avoid opening PDFs with Firefox's plug in.
    1. Highlight "Tools" from the Menu Bar in the top left of the screen (or click "Options" if using the Firefox Compact Menu)
    2. Select to "Options
    3. Select "Applications"
    4. Look for "Adobe Acrobat Document" under Content Type and to the right under Action select "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the using Adobe Acrobat in Firefox
    5. Open a test PDF. It should open in it's own window now.
    Again, not a complete solution but something that'll at least let you scroll with PDFs open.
