Need help with the latest version of Firefox

I asked this question before, but the answer I got was way too complicated. I keep being asked to upgrade to Firefox 29, and when I do go to do this I get the message "You are on the latest version of Firefox", even though I am on Firefox 24. Please tell me in simple language how to fix this.

Hi Ruben,
I'm sorry my answer wasn't easy to understand. I'll try to simplify it.
There are two reasons why your Firefox is incorrectly reading the useragent (the Firefox version you're on)
1) <code>about:config</code> (hidden website in Firefox) still has the preferences for an old version. There's only one thing to do for this step, Visit the below website and tell me what it says under Browser "User Agent" string:. Here's the site:
*https://jeffersonscher.com/res/jstest.php (credit goes to [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/204 jscher2000])
Example: here's what mine looks like:
*Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0
If yours isn't 29 at the end you should do the below steps to reset your prefs to default
# Navigate to <code>about:config</code> via Address Bar
# Click the button that says, <code>"I'll be careful, I promse!"</code>
# At the top of this page, search for <code>general.useragent</code>
# Try to reset the following if they exist (If prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose Reset.):
* general.useragent.extra.firefox
*general.useragent.extra.productName - where productName can be the name of some third party software (e.g. microsoftdotnet),
*general.useragent.locale
*general.useragent.override
*general.useragent.security
The other thing was to see if you had any user.js file active to initalize prefs when you start Firefox
You can delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and delete the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value. You can get to the profile folder below:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Show Folder
or
*Go to '''about:support''' and click Show Folder next to Profile Directory.

When are you going to make GOOGLE TOOLBAR compatible with the latest version of firefox, i will not update to version 8 until its compatible

Question
When are you going to make GOOGLE TOOLBAR compatible with the latest version of firefox, i will not update to version 8 until its compatible

It's not going to happen. Google announced withdrawal of their Google Toolbar.
Using Google Toolbar features without toolbars - MozillaZine Knowledge Base
:http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_Google_Toolbar_features_without_toolbars
The Google Toolbar will not be updated for Firefox 5 or later Firefox versions. ([http://googletoolbarhelp.blogspot.com/2011/07/update-on-google-toolbar-for-firefox.html reference]) Google finally decided that their [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions problematic extension] is beyond repair for the little benefit added for Firefox users. Google as with other browsers is eliminating or making toolbars less accessible.
Consider the features that you are using and see if you can match up features from the list created by Google and by Firefox users.

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!

How can I get the usajobs.gov website to open with the latest version of firefox?

i just updated to the latest version of firefox, now it will not let me use the usajobs.gov website. it keeps saying that it is untrusted, and since it uses https, it can not have an exception so i can not continue to the page. It also says that the site is not presenting trusted identification. i need to check my job applications, and search for jobs. this needs to be fixed asap. it does allow my to go to the home page, but when i try to log in, the message pops up.

Please make sure that all of your plugins and extensions are up to date.
In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' to continue to the about:config page.
# Since the site only works for me if I allow Firefox to fallback to TLS 1.0 or otherwise force TLS 1.0 (i.e. set the maximum to 1.0) set security.tls.version.fallback-limit = 1

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.

Why am I unable to log in to 'Formspring' with the latest version of Firefox? I have turned off all ad blockers. Other browsers are fine.

The website 'Formspring.me' loads, but then when I click 'log in' I find the website to be completely unresponsive. Clicking 'Log in with Facebook' also fails, and this has worked up until now..
I am using the latest version of Firefox, all my plug-ins are up to date and all adblockers are turned off.
My computer runs Windows Vista Ulitmate with Service Pack 2.

Hi, thanks for your reply :). I've actually just solved the problem - it was a AVG Safe Search!
I went to C:\Program Files\AVG then fould the 'FireFox' folder and deleted it. When I restarted firefox then add-on was gone and the problem solved.
Thanks for your time,

I think there is a problem with the latest version of Firefox. When you minimize one window (doesn't matter how many tabs) on Mac, it automatically minimizes all of the other open windows. This never used to happen.

Whenever you have multiple windows open - say one is your Gmail account and the other is a bunch of pages you're using at work - and then you go to minimize the window with Gmail but intend to continue working on the other open windows. Using Command-M (the minimize shortcut for Macs) unfortunately now sends all open windows to the minimize bar in the lower right. Which means - every time I go to look at Gmail, then put it away, I have to reclick to open all of the other windows I was working in. Can this be fixed? It never used to happen.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox

Because OS X 10.4* does not have what is needed by Firefox 4.0 and newer.
Linux users are in a similar boat also as they need certain package versions within the last few years as LTS distros (with outdated packages from 4+ years ago) like CentOS is a bit screwed on newer applications like Firefox 4.0. By your logic Mozilla should also support Linux packages from 10 years ago also which would be a really ridiculous thing to do.
I think only the 64-bit Windows Vista and Windows 7 is really supported or will be rather when it comes to 64-bit builds (still not officially supported yet).
Mozilla is still supporting Firefox 3.6 with updates, in which 3.6.16 can be found at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

I need help with the upgraded version of Garage Band '11. Its totally different.

I am incredibly frustrated with the newest version of Garage Band. I am a choreographer and constantly need to edit music. The work I do is very simple. Just cutting sections of music to make the songs shorter. I have been using Garage Band for years with total ease. I used to be able to just highlight a section of music and click delete. Now all that does is either stretch out all the timing or delete the whole track. I need simple cut edits. PLEASE HELP!!! The help sections do not help at all!

Macafee is not working properly with the latest version of firefox, how can I get it to work the way it was working on the previous version?

when browsing on google, it doesn't show the macafee safety arrow or caution, nor does it name the macafee secure sites. What happened with the new version?

'''McAfee Site Advisor:''' https://support.mozilla.com/questions/837419
Look for an updated version in about the 3rd week of July; hopefully they'll fix their many other errors besides, I don't think I've been able to use it since about Firefox 3.6.0 or maybe 3.6.6
Be aware that if you currently choose to use McAfee Site Advisor it has some serious problems for Firefox users, check

Need help with the latest PS CC update

Ive had PS CC since its been released and had no problems, however with the latest update Im having a weird problem. I download and install the update, and it goes through, gives me the update was sucessfull message. However, the next time I start up my mac, I get the new update message. Which I download and install with sucessfull message. This has been going on daily for weeks now. Anyone know how to fix this?

My guess is it's a permissions problem.
Try creating a new Admin user, run Photoshop and the updater from the new user. Restart the mac and log into the new Admin user account and see if the updates alert is gone.

My mac has been updated with the latest version of Firefox but when I click on seacrh nothing happens. Please help?

I have a Macbook and as usual, I was notified of a Firefox update, which I accepted. Since uploading the new version, when I type a search into the usual box and click enter or on search button, nothing happens at all. This is very annoying! I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

I just went to the Help>Troubleshooting Information>Open Containing Folder>Organize>Select All then deleted everything. When I reopened Firefox my homepage asked for my password, the option for Firefox to remember, I clicked remember and now it is working.
By the way the previous post was me as well. Just a typo, should have been stlblues1226 as well.

My version of mac 10.4.11 is not compatible with the latest version of firefox so I am trying to find where I can download the previous version 3.6 in English

Everything was fine until firefox automatically installed the newest version and it wasn't compatible with my version of mac. Normally it just reverts to the version I was using but this time the download of the old version disappeared from my desktop

Firefox 3.6.24 can be found here:

I recently updated with the latest version of Firefox. Bookmark the icons to the left of the bookmark name are all gone. Can you provide a simple fix to this? Thanks!

Recently updated to 9.0.1 version of Firefox. Restarted. All my bookmark icons were not viewable. They are viewable if I go to my Bookmarks Menu - Show All Bookmarks. They are just not viewable in the Bookmarks tab from the top of Firefox (where it is the most useful).

''you must modify image.mem.decodeondraw''
type in the address bar '''about:config'''
then press the button '''i'll be careful i promise
then type in the bar '''image.mem.decodeondraw'''
then '''Double-click '''on it, to make it '''false'''
''exit firefox and restart-it''.

When using Lotus Notes with the latest version of firefox notes will not allow me to attach files?

Uner firefox version I was able to attach muliple doc within my Lotus notes, after upgrading I now get an error message. Program error. What else can I do to fix the problem other than going back to the old version?

If the website is okay, you can try goto options->advanced->network, and clear the web cache and try again.
