Is there a version 7 of Firefox and when did it come out?
I am receiving email messages from other than Mozilla, which indicate a version 7 of Foxfire is available. However, after reading some of the comments on the Mozilla site, I am wondering about the reliability of the new version, or if the information is correct. Since Foxfire is my preferred browser (after being forced to begin using Windows 7), I would hate to screw up what works with an untested version of the program. I do not want a Beta version - I only want those versions that have the deadly bugs all worked out so I don't have major interruptions in using my computer and the internet.

Will there be an iTouch 5th gen and when will it come out?
Will there be an iTouch 5th gen and when will it come out? If you know please post something!
Since we are all only end users like you, we would know of no such information, and it's again the Terms of Use of these forums to speculate about future Apple products.

@sjpierce - I don't believe that this is a Firefox-specific issue, but it does sound like you have some sort of malware on your machine. What was this innocuous link that you clicked on? A lot of viruses and malware make their rounds on Facebook.
Regardless, what I would do is this ( I assume you're running Windows):
* Download the Free and awesome Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) via [http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/]
* Next update MSE and do a full system scan to ensure you don't have any existing malware on your machine. If so, clean it off and reboot. Keep doing this until you come up clean.
* Refer to this article on SUMO [[Profiles|Profiles]]
* Delete your old Firefox profile, create a new one and launch Firefox 4 again using the new profile
You should be back to normal at this point.
If you are running an OS like Mac OS X or Linux, it's unlikely that you have malware and you should probably clean your Firefox profile and start over again. -
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.

Does any one know when they'll come out with a bigger capacity ipod touch?
I really like the iPod touch, but 16GB just doesn't cut it for me. Does anyone know if and when they'll come out with a bigger capacity iPod Touch?
I'm with you. I don't need the iPhone, but I'd love the iPod touch -- if it had a larger capacity drive. My current iPod has at least 20 gb of songs, iPhoto libraries, calendar, email, home movie videos.....same with my laptop, which, in turn, I sync to my Apple TV.......if iPhone and iPod are going to interface with our other Mac products, both will need much larger drives.
ALSO: Does the iPod Touch Contacts/Address Book resolve the "birthday" problem on the earlier iPods. When you important contact information from other databases (like filemaker pro, etc), Address Book imports/receives just about any type of data field -- except birthdays. I use AddressBook importer to convert my FilemakerPro files into a format that Address Book can important. All the fields map -- when the importing is done, Address Book simply skips birthday fields. Doesn't make sense. A birthday field is just a date field.....Is that the problem? -- david c in KC -
As I said, the other day I had downloaded the latest version of Firefox and after doing so none of the icons for the different websites that normally go to are no longer there. Websites such as MSNBC, MSN, Most visited, that entire strip is no longer visible. I tired resetting Firefox and still nothing. Can anyone tell me how to get them to appear again? It's a hassle every time that I want to go to one of those sites I have to type it in the search bar, instead of just clicking on it as I did before. Please keep in mind if you answer, that I'm still learning about these things called computers and not very well versed in some of the things that you experts know:) Thanks
On Windows XP Firefox shows the menu bar by default and not the orange Firefox menu button that is shown when the menu bar is hidden.<br />
The menu bar is the toolbar at the top that shows menu items like File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help.<br />
You can press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily in case this bar is hidden (View > Toolbars or Firefox > Options).
The Navigation Toolbar shows the Back and forward button and the input field where you type the address of a site that you want to visit (aka location bar) and also has a search bar where you can type items that you want to look up with a search engine (Google).

I am trying to install the latest version of itunes and when the install begins I get the message "There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program required for this install could not be opened. contact your support personnel or product vendor". I ran a troubleshooting diagnostic on my computer and nothing flagged as a problem. I uninstalled iTunes and tried again and now I don't have any way to sync my ipod touch. Please help with any suggestions!!!
Just in case, let's try a standalone AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi install.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi to do a standalone ASU install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If not, what error message do you get? (Precise text, please.) -
My computer is a Powerbook G4 is there a version of Firefox Software that will work?
Assuming the battery is not working, I know of no other way to access the data without ripping open the PowerBook. Third-party adaptors are still available and the price is much less than Apple used to charge:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/APLPBI65W/
The other option is, as I hinted above, to open up the PowerBook and extract the hard drive. Once out of the powerbook you use a device like this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/U3NVSPATA/
It allows you to attach the bare drive from the PB to a USB port on teh MacBook Pro. The drive will appear on the MBPs desktop just as if it were and external drive in an enclosure. -
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.

*Ask Toolbar Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows
Unfortunately, it is becoming more and more common for these kinds of "extras" (toolbars, security scanners, etc.) to be added to your browser/system/desktop when adding or updating other software, some from very well-know software vendors. You must carefully read information before downloading any "free" software and be very alert during the install process for any opportunity to opt-out of "extras" being installed.
'''<u>If you have the Ask Toolbar</u>'''<br />
* First try to disable or uninstall the Ask Toolbar in Firefox via "Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions". See: [[Uninstalling add-ons]]<br />
*In some cases, you may need to uninstall the Ask Toolbar using Windows Control Panel .

'''<u>You '''MAY''' need to reset your homepage</u>''' if an Ask search page opens when first starting Firefox. Firefox can open multiple home pages. Home pages are separated by the "|" symbol.
*See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
'''<u>You ''MAY'' need to reset a preference</u>''' if searches from the URL/location bar take you to an Ask search page.<br />
To reset the preference related to Ask search from the URL/location bar via about:config, specifically the keyword.URL preference -<br />
*Open a new tab or window.
*Type '''''about:config''''' in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key
*If you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
*Filter = keyword.url

Guys, my browser is going crazy and every website that I am on changes in about 10 seconds to 2 minutes to another webpage. I even downloaded a newer 5.0 version of firefox and I am having the same problem.
Your System Details are showing Fun Web Products. Suggest you look in Add-ons - Extensions and Plug-ins, and Control Panel>Add/Remove programs or >(newer version) Programs and Features. You could also do a search of your computer.
Fun Web Products(associated with MyWebSearch) always seems to cause problems, Alexa does, too, but less often - there may be conflicts.
I'm not an expert on these two products. I'm afraid I can only alert you to the problems. Google will show you plenty of evidence of problems. You might also try the Search Firefox Help box above - a gold mine but it usually requires a lot of digging.
You can start Firefox in Safe Mode - Hold Shift Key down as you double click on the Firefox icon>ignore the page that opens>Continue. If that improves things you could do a little troubleshooting(Safe Mode, Problematic extensions etc), use default theme, -

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.
