Is the latest version of firefox incompatible with some scripting applications?

Since upgrading, some popup and redirect pages won't load, at all. Nothing in the URL bar, nothing on the page. It does not appear to be a popup blocker issue, It still happens when ABP is disabled, and only started after I upgraded. Also, when I tried to log into my email account, nothing happened when I hit "sign in". I opened google chrome and used it to sign in.

Latest version of Firefox incompatible with programs used for online academic studies 1) Blackboard and 2) Turnitn. Why does Firefox not know about this given number of students studying online? What can be done about it?

To solve problem I had to downgrade the version of Firefox from latest to an earlier version.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

The latest version of Firefox loads with the Ask page and doesn't retain the selected home page. How do I change this?

I downloaded the latest Firefox version. Upon loading it it doesn't retain the previous Home Page setting and always reverts to the Ask page, which is always indicated as the Home Page. This is annoying. How do I overcome this problem?

Why does the latest version of firefox come with so much spam software? Spent an hour uninstalling most of it. really annoyed. Loyal firefox user.

just downloaded a new version of Firefox and it loaded a heap of background programs that produce stupid pop ups for PC cleanup tools and other nuisance pop-up crap? When did you make the decision to add this crap to your freeware??? Most annoying......

What is the latest version of Firefox compatible with a MacBook Pro with 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running OSX 10.5.8?

I keep getting told my browser needs updating and it doesn't work right on some websites. I have had unhappy experiences in the past trying to update Apple OS and Firefox due to compatibility issues. I suppose I could switch to Safari but I have been using Firefox for many years and would prefer to stick with what I know.

Firefox 16.0.2 was the last to work on the old Mac OSX 10.5.x as Firefox 17.0 to current has required OSX 10.6+

Firefox can't read any Bookmark that was imported from my PC with file extension .url. Safari reads them fine. Is there a fix, so I can use Firefox instead of Safari? Many thanks if so. I have the latest version of Firefox

Hello JF.
I don't think that extension is supported. I believe Firefox can only read .json and .html.

The latest version of Firefox does not seem to work with Google!

When you type something in the search box, you will get presented with a list of possible choices, but Google will not actually perform the search when you press "Enter" or click "Google Search". IE 6 still appears to work fine, as does Firefox 3.6. The problem just seems to be with the latest version of Firefox. It also seems to be intermittent. Sometimes it actually does work..

Although not related to your question you have outdated ShockWave Flash Player go ahead and update your flash player by going to www.get.adobe.com/flashplayer
As for your problem, One of your add-ons might be the culprit too. Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] with all add-ons disabled. If that solves the problem, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and possibly [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

My virus scanner warns it is not compatible with the latest version of firefox, so i deinstalled firefox, It is trendmicro. I would like to have an earlier firefox version back, but were can i find it

I upgraded FireFox. My virusscanner TrendMicro complained it was nog compatible with this version.
So I desinstalled FireFox.
Do you know a solution?
Otherwise I would like to have an earlier version of FireFox, but where can I download it? I don't see a link at your site
thanx Yrram

Hey yrram,
There are a lot of benefits to running the latest version of Firefox. You might want to consider running the older version on [http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36 a USB Stick with PortableApps]. That way you'll still be able to run the latest version for your day to day activities. You could also try the workaround in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/websites-incorrectly-report-firefox-outdated-or-in this article].
If you still want to roll back to a previous version of Firefox, just take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]].
Hopefully this helps!

Juno does not work with the latest version of firefox Why?

I would love to install the latest version of Firefox, but when I attempted to It indicated that It was not compatible with my Juno email service, why don't you guys ever include Juno when you do updates? Very frustrating as now my browser experience feels like my computer is dead. I finally gave up and installed Safari which is working at lightning speed. Don't suggest IE as I hate all Microsoft products,they are even worse at not testing things.

When I try to update firefox to the latest version, it comes up with a corrupt file error and won't install. Same for adobe flash player.

It seems that as of yesterday 05/10/13, anything that is downloaded will not install. Tried updating to the latest version of firefox, but that give the error of corrupt files.

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is otherwise interfering with downloading files.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files
*browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Why is the latest version of Firefox not compatable with the Google toolbar? Will it ever be or do I need to switch back to Internet Explorer?

My Google toolbar was deleted when I downloaded the latest version of Firefox. It will not re-load because it is not compatible. Is this problem with Google or with Firefox? Will it be fixed soon, or will I have to go back to Internet Explorer?
