Newly installed 4.0 Beta8,Babylon task bar installed and locked Firefox

A program "my Babylon homepage" suddenly showed up on my Firefox 4.0 Beta 8 preventing response to all keystrokes. I un-installed all Babylon labeled programs using both uninstall in "control-Panel" and "Vero uninstaller". Then un-installed Firefox and re-installed Firefox 4.0 Beta 8. The problem continues. I have been forced to use my Gooogle Chrome browser. I have also searched for "myBabylon" without success. What can I do to get rid of Babylon?

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that 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 from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

If the inoperable button or link is near the top of the page....
Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

Is it possible to install and use Firefox in a local disk drive D: ?

A desktop computer with Windows XP, Professional Version and Service Pack 3. The browser is Explorer 8 and the search engine is Google. There is very little free space left in local disk drive C: and the browser Google combination is painfully slow.
The computer also has a local disk drive D: which has only recently been formatted as NTFS with about 18 GB of free memory.
Can I use this drive D: to install and operate Firefox ? Drive C: is probably the default drive in the installation process and the question is can it be altered to drive D:, if so how is it done. How much memory does Firefox use after it is installed.
Any direction and advice would be appreciated to use as much of drive D: as possible with a Firefox Google combination.
Thank you for considering this post.

If you would install Firefox on the D:/ drive the vast majority of its files would end up in /Documents and Settings/ on the C:/ drive where the operating system resides.
Firefox Portable will keep all its files together, where you install it.

Is there any way that to install and use firefox remotely on centos 6?

Hello everyone
i rent a dedicated server that using centos 6...I'm going to browse through the internet with that.can anyone tell me, is there any way that to install and use firefox remotely on centos?
(just like utorrent server)
tnx

Install a proxy server on the centos machine and configure your local Firefox to connect through that proxy.
If you really want to run Firefox on the centos machine, install a VNC server instead.
(Obviously, use Google if you don't know what that means ;)

How do I stop firefox from sending a message or note that " do I want this program to change my computer?" It changes some of the settings in my computer; like the color of my task bar changed and other settings too.

Before nothing happened until just recently when box messages would appear and tell me to click "yes or no" if I want the program to change my laptop. I clicked "No", but sometimes it didn't work, and when it didn't work. When it failed, fire fox changed some of the settings in my laptop. For example, the task bar's color would be changed. Also, it seemed as if fire fox had changed some of the settings into an old version. Yesterday I restarted my laptop, and it just went back to normal like nothing happened. But, for a few minutes later, the box will appear and you have to click yes or no. I clicked the "x" button, and it just changed automatically.

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator. 
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties". 
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected. 
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.

I can no longer place links to websites in the FF icon on my Windows 7 task bar, as I could with Firefox 4. Is it still possible? task bar since upgrading to Firefox 4. Can it be made possible?

With FF v.3 I could place links to oft-used websites in the right-click expanded Firefox icon on the task bar. It appears that Firefox v. 4 no longer provides for that feature. Can it be done some other way? Otherwise I have to open my FF homepage and click on a toolbar bookmark for the website.

>> Did you check what happens if you set the Task bar to be always visible?
No, because I do not want my Task bar to always be visible. I want it to auto-hide.
Firefox *is* maximized when this occurs. However, "maximized" window does not mean "cover up task bar", which is what FF is doing. I can maximize any of my other applications and still access the task bar as expected. For those applications, I did not have to hunt for special configuration files or anything else, because they are following what appears to be at the very least a UX best practice for Windows 7.
I definitely appreciate your taking the time to share the information that you have shared, and I have no doubt that your suggestions work as you have outlined. However, I'm seeking a user experience with FF in which I do not have to treat it differently than other applications in order to view my Windows task bar when its window is maximized. And I can view the taskbar with FF maximized, *sometimes*. Other times, it stops appearing indefinitely, across multiple sessions/shutdowns/etc.
(FYI, right now, I have FF maximized, and am able to view the Task bar, so I'm not currently experiencing this issue. I do not recall doing anything special to make it work.)
Again, I appreciate your taking the time to answer, even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear. :)

ITunes 10.5.0.142 prevents 'auto-hide' task bar reappearing on scroll-over at page bottom when ITunes home page is up. Task bar appears and hides fine on other windows. OS: Win 7.

In Windows 7 my latest ITunes version won't let the 'autohide' feature work for my task bar. I have mine set at the bottom of all pages, and they all work when the Itunes page is up. But not the ITunes home page itself. The task bar is gone, and won't appear on scroll-over.
Look, I'm not going to kill myself over it. I just have to minimize the IT page to get to another task bar.
But I like my auto-hide and won't disable it, and I like what's been done with the new version of IT and - of course - won't get rid of that. I just want them to live together happily ever after.
Thank You in Advance for Your Time;
Curt

Using Firefox 7 in Windows 7, however, when hovering over task bar the icon reveals Firefox 4 beta 12. Is there a fix, please?

When hovering over the Firefox icon in the task bar on a blank desktop in Windows 7, the wrong version is revealed.

Hello jesterabk, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

How do install and run Firefox....

Hi all - any help is appreciated here to a brand new MBP user... windows PC convert, so noob to say the least...
I just downloaded the most recent version for Mac on my new MBP... but, can't figure out how to run or install the program...
I have completed this download, and now on my MBP desktop is a Firefox icon and a Firefox 2.0.0.1 dmg file... what is that?
...clicking on either, does nothing? How do I install or get this browser working on a Mac?
Any help is really appreciated...

All you have to do is the following:
1. double-click on the .dmg file and accept the license agreement.
2. Click and drag the firefox icon to the Applications folder.
3. Eject the .dmg file by clicking the eject symbol.
That's it. Hope this helped.

Sync does not transfer menu and toolbar customization to newly-installed copies of Firefox.

Sync's been working pretty well for me...except for, well, syncing most of the GUI. Every single time I reinstall Firefox - which is very frequently, sometimes - I have to click 'Customize', remove *every single icon* from the menu, display the bookmarks toolbar, drag the bookmarks toolbar items to where I always keep them. I have to close the bookmarks toolbar again, and then move all of the icons and the home button from the navigation bar to where I keep all of those. Then I have to remove the search bar from the navigation bar, because I never leave the search bar there.
This happens *every single time* I reinstall Firefox.
It is a lot of work, it is tedious, and I've done it at least four times this week alone. This really shouldn't be happening. I never had to deal with this kind of thing when using Chrome - their sync function works exactly as you'd expect it to.
I prefer Firefox for a few reasons, but if this isn't resolved, I might have to switch back. A sync function that only syncs half of what it should is not a useful sync function at all. I should be able to log in, wait a minute or two for it to download my data, and then I should be presented with the browser set up exactly as I left it.
I should not be presented with a horrendous mixture of my settings and the defaults that bleeds over into my other computers. Oh, did I not mention that part? Many times, when I log into my sync account on a new installation, the default bookmarks that get shoved in with the rest of my bookmarks GET SYNCED TO MY ACCOUNT AND TRANSFERRED TO MY OTHER COMPUTERS.
I'm then forced to delete all of them a few *more* times.
Please tell me there's a solution to this.
edit: Also, search settings are never transferred. That's another thing I'd like to be able to stop having to change every time.

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.
# Please add: services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.uiCustomization.state and make it a boolean and mark it as true.

Firefox will not open on desktop. It shows up on the task bar only and it does not allow me to restore or maximize. I reinstalled but the problem continues

My task bar top and bottom aren't showing?

I was watching movies through my itunes last night and now my screen saver and the bar on top and bottom of my screen saver page aren't showing, just a black screen. And, also when I try to reply to an email in my Mail, the response shows up behind my mail page, so I don't actually know it has responded until I clear my Mail screen away. Usually, when I do an email response it shows up on the original email?

Hello, TallSknyWhtGuy.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your are unable to view any of your past purchases after setting your device up as new, I would recommend checking to see if you purchased these items with a secondary Apple ID. Below, here is an article that will walk you through how to check which Apple ID was used to purchase this content.
The items you are trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you will need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

I tried a fresh install and get "Firefox is already running" error

Win XP SP3. Links in web pages opened in Firefox were not working. I tried reinstalling latest Firefox version over existing version. Didn't help. Uninstalled Firefox, reinstalled; didn't help. Did a total uninstall including manually removing all Firefox files and folders. Rebooted in-between. Now I keep getting the error message "Firefox is already running ..." Tried the steps in the article in your database but no longer have a profile. Bottom line: can no longer install a working version of Firefox.

You probably did delete the Firefox profile folder, but didn't remove the profiles.ini file, so Firefox isn't able to find the old profile and displays misleading and confusing error message.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+is+already+running+but+is+not+responding
You can delete profiles.ini to make Firefox create a new default profile or use the profile manager to create a new profile.

Installing and managing firefox in an enterprise environment using a third party desktop managment system (Novell ZEN)

We want to deploy Firefox in our enterprise environment and need to figure out a way to have the install run silently, no user interaction. We use Novell's ZEN to centrally manage our desktops and how we've done this with other installs is to create a response file, but I guess Firefox will not use response files. So, how would we accomplish this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ken

Novell's ZEN and response files
Fixed certs for Firefox 36 using Novell, not sure how they did this but was fixed for the next version. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1042889 1042889]
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1042889#c8 comment 8 specifically]
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1091778 1091778]
Try it in beta.
Otherwise an alternative to a silent install from the commandline is -ms and check out the recommendations for deploying in an enterprise environment in MDN: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Enterprise_deployment]
