Speed dial was the main attraction of Firefox! Why can't I have it in the current version?

Running Windows XP, loved Firefox and Speed Dial. Downloading the new version of Firefox messed up everything.
I've sent in reports re crashing . No replies from you. Think I'm losing interest, and will stick with Internet Explorer.

Crash reports go into a pool of data used to find problems in Firefox, but they do not generate a personal response. If you have the crash ID number, some people here can look up your crash report and give you advice on it.
If you decide you haven't lost interest, have you tried this article? [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20crashes Firefox crashes | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help].
Also, there are several speed dial and fast dial add-ons. If yours isn't compatible with Firefox 5, you might be able to find a great alternative.

  • Firefox 4 sucks! Why can't I save my tabs when closing Firefox, & why can't I have a red X to stop a slow page from loading?

    NOT FASTER!! MUCH SLOWER!!
    When I close Firefox, I can no longer save my tabs. WHAT GIVES?
    When a new page isn't coming up, I can no longer stop it from loading & try again.
    WHY do my tabs need to be above the toolbars?
    I've loved using Firefox & have used it exclusively for about the last ten years, but if this is how it's always going to be now, I'm going to look for a new browser!
    ''moderator edited the title of this thread''

    The described fix seems to work fine, and I appreciate the fast response.
    Firefox developers, I've been a developer myself. Setting the default to not save tabs in Firefox 4 is going to make a lot of people VERY angry.
    I'm a fairly educated user. After upgrading, the first thing I did was to check Preferences and try to make sure all settings were good to maintain what I've been accustomed to doing. I didn't take the Firefox 4 tour, but shut down the application to make sure caches were emptied. There was no warning about my multiple tabs, but it was too late to stop the process. When I opened it again, all my tabs were gone, some of which related to material or local logins that I will have a hard time re-creating.
    If my wife had done this, you would have heard her swearing without benefit of phone or online chat window, no matter where your labs are. :-)
    For everyone's sanity, please don't turn off the Preserve Tabs on Logout function without warning.

  • Speed dialing in the digital voice system

    I am having  difficulty in setting up speed dialing in the digital voice system.  I have followed  Verizon directions, have spoken to numerous tech people, but  once I program the speed dial codes and phone numbers, the system does not retain them in memory. When I enter the two digit code associated with the phone, I just get a dial tone. Help!!

  • I have updated to Firefox 8.01, and confirmed that this is the current version. However, both Google and Firefox do not recognize my current verision -- these sites indicate my version is 3.5.7. Why?

    I have updated (more than once) to Firefox Version 8.01. When I check Firefox Help:About, it confirms the version number and indicates that this is the current version. On Google, however, when I try to use G-Mail or +Google, gives me a message that my version of Firefox is no longer supported (and provides a link to download the current version). Additionally, Firefox itself, when I tried to use the Help:Submit Feedback menu option, indicates that I cannot use that option until I have first upgraded to the current version. Apparently, although I have upgraded, there is some marker or indicator that has not been updated from a previous version to indicate to websites which version of this browser is running on my machine. I would like to get this resolved, as it is keeping me from doing a few things I would like to do. By the way, I just looked at the dialog box below, following the comment "we've made some educated guesses about your current browser ..." it, too, indicates that my current version is 3.5.7.

  • I had an older version of Firefox with a toolbar that allowed me to view multiple links at once. Is that toolbar avaiable for the current version of Firefox?

    When viewing an email with multiple links, I would click an icon in the toolbar which looked like a vertical multi-colored bar and all the links would open on the same page. I cannot find this (add-on) now that I have downloaded the current version of Firefox. Is there something which works similarly available?
    Some of the other icons on this tool bar were red arrows.

    Maybe I just don't know how to make it work but It doesn't open all the links in at once in the same tab. I will read more about to see if I can figure this out. It is a challenge to learn new programs. I should have saved the old Firefox program which downloaded along with Firefox as I remember.

  • If I have just upgraded to the current version, why do I get this message on my homepage? "URGENT! Your version of Firefox is no longer protected against online attacks. Get the upgrade - it's fast and free! "

    This message keeps appearing on my google home page no matter which upgrade is installed. this has occured for the last three upgrades. It also affects youtube and hotmail which keep telling me my browser is outdated even though I have just installed the current version. I am running xp pro on an old, slow Netvista.

  • I just bought an audiobook which said it was the 1938 version of the book Science of Mind, but it wasnt. It was the 1926 version which I already have. How do I get my money back as I never would have bought it if it had my accurately labelled.

    I just bought an audiobook which said it was the 1938 version of Science of Mind but it wasn't...it was the 1926 version...how do I get my money back from iTunes?

    Try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Pages app unexpectedly quit whilst I was in the middle of a document. I can now not open it AT ALL. I find it's not just that particular document that won't open, but any of my Pages docs will not open using the current version of Pages. Any help?

    Pages app unexpectedly quit whilst I was in the middle of a document. I can now not open it AT ALL. I find it's not just that particular document that won't open, but any of my Pages docs will not open using the current version of Pages. The reports of the app unexpectedly closing each time, automatically went to Apple, but I am not sure what happens with them then. Does anyone know how to help me with this? We live in a very isolated region so rely on internet help. Thanks

    I also managed to read a few other discussions about Pages and files not being able to open. I actually went to the last back-up and restored the computer from that and everything seemed to work ok again, which is great!...advice from another discussion I think you may have been involved in PeterB. Thanks for the advice...also this advice, as I will make a note of trying to open using the Shift key if it happens again and see what happens...might be an easier first option than restoring from a back-up. Thans heaps for the help!
    I was interested to read some of the other discussions where it was stated that Pages '09 seems to be a better option to use. I have both installed, so I will lkeep this in mind. Thanks heaps!

  • When was the latest version of itunes released?

  • Hello.  Since accepting the upgrade to the current version of I Tunes (11.4) I have been unable to get the application to boot.  I receive the message that I Tunes was not installed correctly and Error 7 (Windows Error 193).

    Hello.  Since accepting the upgrade to the current version of I Tunes (11.4) I have been unable to get the application to boot.  I receive the message that I Tunes was not installed correctly and Error 7 (Windows Error 193).  I have uninstalled/reinstalled I Tunes several times and this has not resolved the issue.  I also uninstalled/reinstalled Microsoft.net Framework 4 since this was suggested by Apple support.  This also has not resolved the issue.
    When I reinstall I Tunes, I get a message that the “Service ‘apple mobile device’ failed to start.”  Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services.  I attempted to manually start the Apple Mobile Device service but get a pop up stating, “Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.”Unsure what I should try next. 

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Mobile Device Support, won't install normally.
    In your case I suggest you start with a clean download of the setup file using the direct link. If reinstalling AMDS alone doesn't work try tearing everything down again.

  • I find the current version of Firefox extremely difficult to use. Can I use a lower level version of Firefox??

    I find it extremely difficult using the current version of Firefox. Navigating through open pages is cumbersome and at times, closing tabs is not possible. I have to close Firefox and restart. I would like to download an older version of Firefox. Is this possible?? If not, I will go elsewhere.
    Regards,
    Jerry

    How are you trying to close tabs when that happens?
    Does it work if you middle click a tab?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    If you want to restore the old appearance then you can right click the orange Firefox button to open the toolbar context menu or use (F10) View > Toolbars.
    * Click the Menu Bar entry and place a check-mark to make the Menu Bar visible all the time.
    * Click "Tabs on Top" to remove the check mark and place the Tab Bar at its original position just above the browser window.

    The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4.
    Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
