Multifox fix for future versions of FireFox?

After a FF upgrade (from maybe version 17 or 19 to version 22 I think, I'm a little late in complaining about this), the Multifox functionality stopped working. Now, when one tries to open a new identity profile (enabling multiple Yahoo or Gmail accounts to be open at the same time), there's an error message:
"Multifox is not available from private windows. Please try again from a regular window."
I was previously able to "privately browse" by turning off the history, etc., and this had no bearing on my ability to open a new identity profile window. Are there plans to restore this? I don't ever store history, but I'd like to see multiple e-mail accounts simultaneously. It's really a shame that this got "fixed".

Aha! I never thought to turn off history through the "Use custom settings" options rather than simply using "Never remember history".
Going that route allows Multifox to function again.
I agree that add-ons are the responsibility of the developers, but sometimes asking firefox experts is the key to resolving certain problems. Thanks for your help.

Where can I post requests for future versions of Acrobat?

I have a number of things that I think should be improved for future versions of all adobe products (the overprint button in Acrobat for example) and am sure I have seen an area for this. Can anyone help me out here?

Number for voicemail is locked/unchangeable -- please fix in future version

The speeddial button in the lower right corner of the Phone App (not sure if it's call an app ...) that's suppose to call the number of the carriers voicemail (not visual!) can not be changed ...!
That's a problem as I've switch to a new carrier (with new SIM). Pressing the button dials the previous carriers voicemail. Have the problem with both iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 running iOS 4.3.1.
I've tried the storing the number with the 5005*86[number for voicemail]# - and sure it's stored as seen with the #500586# but the button still dials the old carriers voicemail!
The carrier says it's locked by Apple, that it's unchangeable. That *****
Apple, if this is true please fix this in future version of iOS Or please tell me how I can store the new, correct number for voicemail (no, not in addressbook - on the speeddial button).

IGoogle (and perhaps others) broken after updating to 6.0.2 -- broken for ALL versions of Firefox now.

Hi folks,
Note: I've found a way to post images... here they are...
[http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/_Melk_/iGoogle_Firefox_broken2.png iGoogle Firefox Broken (same in version 5.x, 6.x & 7.x)]
[http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/_Melk_/iGoogle_IE9_Working.png iGoogle Firefox IE9 Working (was like this on FF too before last update)]
This is a good one so bear with me, I'll try to be as precise as I can.
I updated FF to 6.0.2 yesterday and since then iGoogle (and perhaps other pages.. not sure on this) does not display correctly anymore.
Most evident is the fact that the links "Advanced Search" and "Language Tools" shown (usually) on the right side of the search edit box, don't show up anymore.
Other changes are the graphics which are used by the gadgets. In IE9 & FF before the update, each gadget showed round corners, not anymore in FF after update. Also, if I try to change the theme, the buttons "Add This" don't show up in FF now.
Now, here's the kicker! I completely removed Firefox from my system, meaning uninstalled it using the remove settings as well. I also deleted my profile folder & the Mozilla Firefox folder after the uninstall. Then I reinstalled version FIVE (5.0) to see if I could revert to the why things were back then, and behold, same problem!! So now, I can't repair my firefox to work properly even if I return to older versions!? wow
Tried system restore to a few days ago, that didn't fix it.
Tried version 5.x, 6.x and even the beta 7.x (all from scratch after uninstalling and deleting the profile folder + program files(x86) Mozilla folder) --- still NO FIX! ack! ;)
Frankly, I'm at my wits end on this one. I usually can repair pretty much anything computer/OS related, but this one has me stumped.
Thanks in advance for ANY help provided.. much appreciated :)
/cheers
P.S. I also tried safe mode (took the broken FF picture in Safe Mode), but it has the same issues. In other words, I'm now officially unable to have ANY version of Firefox display iGoogle correctly anymore (5.x, 6.x, even beta 7.x). Be it bare bone, with or without addons, etc etc. All this caused by updating to 6.0.2 from 6.0.1.
Note that I've done tons of updates before without any issues. Also been using FF for the last 6+ years I think (been a while ;) )

Turns out that it's iGoogle Styling that has changed! Not a Firefox bug (although there are bugs in the new iGoogle).
The changes to my homepage (iGoogle) happened just as I was updating 6.0.2. So this led me to believe it was a Firefox bug, and since IE9 still shows the OLD style on iGoogle, it reinforced this belief.
After reading up on it on the Google forums, and chatting with a great tech support on Mozilla tech, I realized it wasn't Firefox. So you can dismiss this as a human error ;)

Hi, I'm an eBay seller and save old eBay auction files to my hard drive for future refence. Firefox no longer opens these files correctly (see below).

Hi, I'm an eBay seller and save old eBay auction files to my hard drive for future refence. These files which all use the same name but are saved in a different folder for each eBay auction no longer open correctly -- much of the eBay auction text information shows up for a split second and then disappears -- the area at the top of the saved eBay auction file then collapses -- the original eBay auction photo of the product shows up as well during that split second but disappears when the other auction text disappears. These eBay auction files open correctly when opened using Internet Explorer. In Firefox, Firefox adds some strange information at the end of the file name when it is opened which is not a part of the actual file name itself (i.e. here is the original file name which is the same for whatever ended eBay auction I open: eBayISAPI.dll.htm -- here is the altered file name after Firefox opens it: eBayISAPI.dll_files/eBayISAPI_data/eBayISAPI_002.htm#ht_658wt_1349 -- yes, it is that long -- the last part is slightly different for each separate auction file that I open). None of this happened until recently. The files open this way whether using Firefox 4.0, Firefox 3.6.16, Firefox Safe Mode 3.6.16, and Firefox Safe Mode 4.0.

Here is what I did:
1) In Firefox 4.0, I opened the Bookmarks on the Menu Bar at the top of the screen. I clicked on the Import and Backup menu. I then exported all my bookmarks to the PC's desktop using the default file name BOOKMARKS.HTML.
2) In Firefox, I opened the Add-ons menu under Tools on the Menu Bar. I clicked on the Prnt Scrn key on the top right of the PC's keyboard in order to obtain a screen shot of all the Firefox add-ons. I then opened Microsoft Word and pasted the screen shot using the Control V command (Ctrl V). I then saved the Microsoft Word file on the PC's desktop for future reference.
3) I then opened the Control Panel in the Start menu (accessed from the little Windows world globe on the bottom left of the screen -- the operating system is Windows 7).
4) In the Control Panel, I opened Uninstall A Program in the Programs section.
5) I uninstalled Firefox 4.0 clicking on the box "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" in order to remove whatever bug in my Firefox customizations was causing the two errors above (this is the MOST IMPORTANT PART of this whole process which is why I saved all my bookmarks as an HTML file and saved a screen shot of all the Firefox add-ons).
6) I then reinstalled my old Firefox 3.6.16 version obtained from the following link: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html (I am not yet in favor of using Firefox 4.0 -- you suppose you can reinstall Firefox 4.0 on your system if you want).
7) After Firefox 3.6.16 was reinstalled, I had to import all my old bookmarks. Under Bookmarks on the Firefox Menu Bar at the top of the screen, I clicked on Organize Bookmarks. I then clicked on the Import and Backup menu and then the Import HTML command in order the BOOKMARKS.HTML file saved on the PC's desktop.
8) I then re-added all my favorite Firefox add-ons by clicking on Add-ons under the Firefox Tools menu and then clicking on the Get Add-ons command. I then searched for all the old add-ons I wanted to re-add to Firefox using the Microsoft Word document on the PC's desktop saved with the screen shot of all the old Firefox add-ons on my system by I uninstalled Firefox 4.0.
9) I then opened one of the old eBay auction page files saved on my hard drive under the eBay default file name "eBayISAPI.dll.htm". The file opened perfectly with NO missing sections and no missing original eBay auction listing photo! the file looked exactly like it did as if I was logged into eBay and looking at the original ended auction.
10) I then opened Hotmail in Firefox and received NO "update your browser" message! I was able to open all my old emails and write and send new emails (with all my Contacts being automatically detected when I went to type in the email address of the person I was sending the new email to)!
In summary, you need to uninstall Firefox 4.0 being sure to click on the "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" box during the uninstall process. Be sure to save/export all your old bookmarks before the uninstall process and make a note of all your old add-ons. Then reinstall whatever version of Firefox you are comfortable with. Apparently, my Firefox customizations had become corrupted at some point; removing the Firefox customizations during the uninstall process allowed any future Firefox version installed on my PC to start over with a clean slate (these corrupted settings would show up in whatever version of Firefox I had installed on my PC so removing them during the uninstall process was the key to solving all my Firefox bugs). I hope my suggestions help to solve your problem and good luck!

It would be appreciated if you could support AVG Safe Search in Firefox 4.0, just as you did for previous versions of Firefox. Are you planning to add support for AVG Safe Search (version 9.x)?

AVG Safe Search provides icons after the names of websites to indicate their security status. All of your previous versions of Firefox supported this feature. Could you please make it available again in Firefox 4.0?

It is down to AVG to make their add-ons work in Firefox 4, not Mozilla .You need to contact AVG about their plans for supporting Firefox 4. It is quite common for companies to only support a new version of a browser after it has been officially released, and not support it during the beta/release candidate phase.

Where is the official download page for full version of Firefox? Old one has only stubs now.

The old page now has stubs only, there is no full version on it:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
Separate but valid question: Searching Mozilla Support on this very forum yields no answers as to where to download the full version of the program itself, around which this entire forum has been set up with all the numerous questions in it about the program... yet there is no answer on how and where to actually *GET* the full version of the program... this strongly suggests that the forum administrators went out of their way, to make it difficult to impossible for users to get the FULL VERSION of the program...
There are many valid reasons for needing the full version of the program, don't you think it's pretty incredible that it has always been difficult to download the full version of Firefox? The old page had it buried in between the Acholi and Xhosa languages, even though English (US) is probably needed by millions of users vs. relatively few for Acholi and Xhosa... Millions of users had to go though gymnastics of finding it buried in between all the worlds languages with every consecutive version, and now they completely removed it even from that page...
What is the the reason, and you have to agree there is a reason, for Mozilla preventing us from having the full installation file? And what is the reason, even when the full installation file existed on that page, for this forum to make it almost impossible to find that page when searching the forum, or the entire internet for the official full version download page?

Last time I checked, that page did link to full installers. The format of the links for Windows was:
https://download.mozilla''.''org/?product=firefox-'''36.0.4-SSL'''&os=win&lang=en-US
I have bolded the part that currently says '''stub'''. Hand-crafted links in that form still work (but I have broken the link in this post with my formatting).
I don't have personal knowledge of what's going on with the "all" download page and hope it changes back.
As for blaming this forum for anything having to do with the "all" download page, you must be kidding. That page was always available from the main page using a link that said Systems & Languages and as the link says, it lists all the available systems and languages.

The quicklink row on the overall window for this version of firefox continually skips two icons/links, why?

I didn't have this issue on any previous version of my favorite browser, but now when I remove the 'Name' that would show up next to the icon, to only show the logo of my bookmarks, two icons that are adjacent to each other do not allow me to select it. However I try to arrange them, or even duplicate the link on that row of icons some other two adjacent links will repeat the issue I'm writing about here.
Thank you in advance for your help with this.
Long live Mozilla Firefox.

Thanks but you're only telling me stuff I already know, that dosen't explain how I get the new version of Firefox to look neat and tidy like it always used to. I can no longer have all my icons that I use, I can no longer access things as easily as I could and the whole thing looks very bare and basic now! A bigger mess than even Google Chrome.
I've spent most of this evening trying to get stuff back that is now lost because of this 'upgrade' and I'm now giving up with it. Well done! You've totally ruined what was the best browser for years.

When will you let users add the missing e for this version of firefox? I don't want to use firefox anymore now.

The missing e has been "incompatible" with this version of firefox for at least a year. This is annoying. Which browser should I use?

I don't think it's being developed anymore since the last blog post was a year ago about the time you said it stopped being incompatible
*http://blog.missing-e.com/
There's another extension another user recommended which was XKit
*http://xkit.info/seven/download/
My browser is unsupported since I'm running Nightly 34.0a1 (very early build of Firefox) but the latest Firefox 31.0 should be working.

Fix for Mac version

Hi,
I saw a fix for a problem I'm having but it is only for PC and I'm on a Mac.
This is the post - http://forums.adobe.com/message/4007591
Can someone point me in the direction of the fix for Mac please?

Sounds like it's a problem with the Acrobat settings. Did you set them to the same resolution?

I get "The connection was reset" at times. I want this fixed for a future version of Firefox.

I am getting "The connection was reset" on certain sites, like totaljerkface.com at times. I really hope Mozilla employees get rid of this message and every website loads properly. I have never gotten this error on major websites like YouTube and Google. Can someone on this forum report this to Mozilla staff? Thanks.

Can someone help me with this report? I hate getting this error.

Download link for Android version of Firefox Mobile Beta seems to be dead

Didn't know where else to to write this: The download link on http://firefox.com/m/beta seems to be dead. I have tried both the /da and the /en-US version.
I'm on Android 2.1-update1 on a Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro . All other downloads and apps work fine, so I think this might be a simple 404 (Btw.: I tried a couple of days ago as well with the same result).)
Let me know if I can help troubleshoot it further.

Sorry, Firefox is not available for the Xperia X10 Mini Pro. For more information, see:

Fix for "The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported."

Like many of you, I experienced the following problem with Lion:
"The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem."
I googled and found a workaround for that. It worked for me, maybe worth a try:

Same problem here, and the above fixes do not work. I'm running 10.7.5, and the defaults write commands do not appear to work: the plist reverts to its default state after each connection attempt.
I can confirm that the correct values are entered in the plist immediately after performing the defauts write commands (while logged in as root) described in those links, by opening the plist file in xcode. But regardless of rebooting or not, the file immediately reverts to its default values as soon as an afp connection is made. Extremely frustrating. The "defaults write" simply doesn't stick.
I desperately need to pull some data off of a Mac IIci that is running Shareway IP under System 7.5.5. This always worked seamlessly in 10.4 though 10.6: I really need a working solution for 10.7. Thanks for any help...

Looking for a version of firefox that supports html4/javascript (framesets) and ONLY runs offline.

I have about 10,000 HTML4 files that use framesets. These are not public content and I only use them offline. Converting to HTML5 is not an option. I would like to find a simple way to run/use this old content and still have a newer Firefox to use online.

Yes, I do want to limit it to the file:// protocol
I was not aware of SeaMonkey. I will look at it and see if it will support my old code. I like the concept of an offline startup switch. Firefox should have that. Thank you.
I am on version 32 because it works with Windows XP.
Old = Obsolete - and I am feeling it.
I have to get off-line now. Thank-you for your help.
