Made mistake and updated Firefox to 36.0.1 from 36.0

After updating Firefox to 36.0.1 from 36.0, the speeds of Firefox went from great to MODEM speeds. This happens for most websites. Tried going to "www.google.com" and it took 21 seconds to load page. www.mozilla.org took 31 seconds.
Tried the REFRESH option on the Mozilla site and lost all extensions and user settings for no reason as this did not help.
Any help would be appreciated as I do not like to used IE which I will have to use till this is fixed.
Thanks

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Every time i try and update firefox a window pops up ad says that I must reboot firefox from a previous install and when i do and i try to reinstall firefox the same pop up comes up and it won't let me update to the new version

when i try to update firefox to the new version and i go to install it it tells me to reboot the system from a previous install of firefox so i go and reboot the system and it keeps saying the same thing.

Try this: 
# Close Firefox.
# In Windows Explorer, go to the following location: '''%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates'''
# Delete everything in that folder.

Put it in a case or pay for an Out of Warranty replacement.
Warranty does not cover user damage.

After I updated Firefox, several emails were sent from my email addresses without my permission. What happened?

After being prompted to and finishing an upgrade with Firefox, several emails were sent from my email accounts without my permission. One was an email that I had sent to a business more than a year ago. This is very embarrassing. They were sent using the Firefox browser. What happened? Thank you for your response.

Firefox is not capable of sending emails. An extension, however, could. If you have any extensions that allow you to send emails, you should write a review on their [http://example.com page].

After a crash and update firefox will not connect to any webpages. Internet explorer is working fine. What's going on?

Firefox crashed. Closed all my windows - did the auto update thingy with accompanying message. Brought up the windows that had closed as usual - all said "problem loading page". Firefox will now not connect to internet. It's not a problem with my connection etc - internet explorer is working fine. Anyone else have this problem today?

So, it's been 13 hours now and no answers. From reading the Airport Discussion board "
Airport has a self assigned IP address, 169.254.175.198 and will not be able to connect to the internet"
is a very common problem and I find it hard to believe Apple has not responded with a fix. I may have to take it into a Genius Bar and see what they can do but I do not have high hopes.
You know, I was talking to someone last week and the name Apple came up. "Ah", he said, "the Evil Empire". Their success has made them much more brash than MS ever was.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.

I downloaded a Firefox security update and now Firefox won't open. From what I can understand my firewall is most likely blocking Firefox now as it doesn't trust it. I have NO idea what to do next, what firewall I am using or even how to find out. HELP!

I have a MAC. If you can help me please be detailed and patient... I don't know what I am doing!

Tina,
I would go crazy if this was me. You may find this interesting from the customer agreement (to see full agreement go here:Customer Agreement | Verizon Wireless):
"HOW AND WHEN CAN I DISPUTE CHARGES?
If you're a Postpay customer, you can dispute your bill within 180 days of receiving it, but unless otherwise provided by law or unless you're disputing charges because your wireless device was lost or stolen, you still have to pay all charges until the dispute is resolved. If you're a Prepaid customer, you can dispute a charge within 180 days of the date the disputed charge was incurred. YOU MAY CALL US TO DISPUTE CHARGES ON YOUR BILL OR ANY SERVICE(S) FOR WHICH YOU WERE BILLED, BUT IF YOU WISH TO PRESERVE YOUR RIGHT TO BRING AN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS CASE REGARDING SUCH DISPUTE, YOU MUST WRITE TO US AT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE ADDRESS ON YOUR BILL, OR SEND US A COMPLETED NOTICE OF DISPUTE FORM (AVAILABLE AT VERIZONWIRELESS.COM), WITHIN THE 180–DAY PERIOD MENTIONED ABOVE. IF YOU DO NOT NOTIFY US IN WRITING OF SUCH DISPUTE WITHIN THE 180-DAY PERIOD, YOU WILL HAVE WAIVED YOUR RIGHT TO DISPUTE THE BILL OR SUCH SERVICE(S) AND TO BRING AN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS CASE REGARDING ANY SUCH DISPUTE."
This may help you also: Arbitration and Mediation FAQs | Verizon Wireless
You can dispute any charges by doing an Arbitration or Mediation. I have never done it, so I can not help much there but this all may get you started.
Let me know if any of this works! Good Luck! Please keep me updated. I really hope they help you.

Tabs are not working. When I click to open a new tab, no new tab comes up. Tried restarting computer and updating Firefox, this didnt' help.

Tabs will not open when I click to open one. I've been shuffling back and forth between two separate Firefox windows - it really sucks. Please help!

Caused by the Ask Toolbar extension in Firefox 3.6.13 and above, disable that extension or un-install it.

Made mistake and restored rather than synched, but got restore error.

Help, my wife is going to kill me!
I purchased two 3G's this morning and while attempting to sync one of the phones and move info from an old iPhone to the new, ran into a problem.
My first operation went ok, (see my other post Transferring EVERYTHING from iPhone to 3G iPhone). I noticed items such as Notes and text messages did not transfer with the sync.
So....when I went to do the same for my wife's phone I tried something different. (I recalled that when I locked my old iPhone and couldn't recall the password I had to restore it. Upon doing so I found that all my old text messages came back.) I had synced the phone for contacts, music etc but before disconnecting the 3G decided to restore.
Bad Idea apparently. The restore stopped midstream and I received a message stating "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (2005)." Strangely the iPhone was labeled "Julie's iPhone" at the Apple Store this morning rather than simply "iPhone" as the error message showed.
All could do was click the OK button, at which point the display on the 3G showed an iTunes icon with a cable below it, apparently asking that I plug the phone into the computer to connect with iTunes. The phone already was connected. In addition the iPhone, called "Julie's iPhone" was no longer showing in iTunes.
I've tried powering off the phone, restarting the computer and now the summary on the phone as simply "iPhone" and all other information such as serial number, size of phone etc as "n/a". A subsequent attempt to restore yielded the same error message.

After talking to Apple Care it was determined the phone was stuck in recovery. A second attempt to restore worked.

When I updated Firefox, my forward & reverse arrows from my Navigation toolbar disappeared. Why, & how do I get them back?? I really do rely on them!

Firefox is really the only system I've ever used, && it has ALWAYS had the navigational arrows up in the upper left-hand corner of the toolbar area. I use the reverse arrow ALL THE TIME!! and am really frustrated by not having this tool to use. I'm NOT a strong computer-user, so these features that make using one easier are really important to me. Please, please, please, please, please HELP me with this!!!! I have tried all of the suggestions given so far, to no avail.... Thanks ever so much....
P.S. Yahoo Classic is my Homepage

Firefox 29 locks the Back button (and, if applicable, the Forward button) to the left end of the address bar. Can you find it there?
By the way, the keyboard shortcut for Back is Alt+left arrow. This works in a variety of contexts where you follow links (for example, within MS Word documents).

How can i update firefox but keep my drivers from the last version?

I have programs that will not work with the drivers in the new version. so i need to keep my old ones so the other application will work.

Update to which version?
The Firefox 4.0+ versions aren't compatible with PPC Macs, but updating to the latest Firefox 3.6.24 version shouldn't have an effect on "drivers".

I have an Epson R280 printer and after an update notice from Apple, and updating, now it won't print from Photoshop accurately. Any suggestions?

Epson tech support made me print from iPhoto and it came out "better". But when printing opened in Photoshop, the skin looks brassy and weird. I have "Photoshop mmanages colors" checked. The thing used to print perfectly... What's up with this? I'm on OS 10.6.8. Driver is set right.

Have you used the Epson Printer Utility to clean the inkjet nozzles on your printer and then printed a nozzle check?
I've had good luck with the printer managing colors with either Epson Standard or Epson Vivid.

Restored by mistake and lost all my photos just back from Disneyland and hadn't synced them!! please someone help

Just back from Disney land and had a message on Ipod to upgrade to IOS6 I done this without syncing my photos and now have lost all my precious photos from Disneyland, someone please help and tell me I can recover them please????

- Did something happen during the update? If the update via wifi or iTunes was successful then the photos should be on the iPod after the update unless they were synced photos and you updated via iTunes.
- The only way now is to get them from your PhotoStream if they were still in the steam.. See:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

Am I the only one getting calls from 253-802-0308 about malicious file downloads after updating FIREFOX?

After updating Firefox I start getting calls from 253-802-0308 (International Telcom in Auburn Washington, found using 411.com). The report that they are getting messages that my Windows PC is reporting the downloading of malicious files. I don't think that there is a connection with Mozilla but it only started after I ran the last 2 or 3 updates to Firefox. Searches on Google and other search engines don't show logical connections to the phone calls and the problem being reported to me. None of my anti-virus programs, Ccleaner, DEFENDER & AVG pickup and malicious files. I'm curious about who they may be because when I question them during the calls they end up hanging up on me. Just wondering if similar problems are being reported.

That is a reported scammer set-up. Read some of the following from actual phone customers. It is not related to your Firefox updates. I have gotten a few of these types of calls on my '''''unlisted '''''home phone number over the past several years. They use a dialer, usually automatic and sequential number dialing. Get a loud whistle to blow into the phone mouth piece or one of those loud air horns from the hardware/sporting good store; this kind of trash deserves broken ear drums.
