  • I would update to the new version of Firefox but I like my big Google Firefox start page. Don't think I'll have that with the new version and I don't want to give it up.

    I love my start page. It's nice and big with the Google search engine bar and Firefox earth symbol attached. I'm positive that the new version of Firefox will cause me to lose this particular start page so I refuse to do the update. If I download the new version and this happens I won't know how to get it back (tho' I did do it once and lost the start page so I went back into my Mac time machine and got the old version back. I was so relieved.) Thank you.

    If I recall correctly, you are talking about the default start page. To check if this is correct, type '''about:home''' in the awesome bar. If this is the same as your homepage, it will still be there when you update.

  • Yahoo is my home page. I updated to the new version of firefox per yahoo and now my tool bar has changed. I want the old tool bar back? The old one had an X when I wanted to stop something.

    yahoo is my home page. I updated to the new version of firefox per yahoo and now my tool bar has changed.
    I want the old tool bar back? The old one had an X when I wanted to stop something (I just clicked on the X). Also, the old toolbar has a "home" that I clicked on and it went staight back to yahoo main page

    Not sure whether for instance you initially had a Yahoo optimised version of Firefox, and have now overwritten it with an official Mozilla version. Although the Mozilla version should NOT add unwanted features, but the Yahoo version may well do.
    If you merely need to find the Yahoo emails page quickly just add it as a bookmark or as a bookmark on the Bookmarks toolbar and make sure that is visible.
    Clicking the star icon on the location bar whilst looking at your emails will bookmark the page.

    I do not use Yahoo myself,and am not sure what add-ons are available. You could search yourself using

  • I am having trouble with replacing my old Firefox version 3.6.3 with the new 9.0 version on my Macbook. I have it downloaded as a dmg file, but I keep getting a message that the opertion cannot be completed because the item Firefox is in use...HELP!

    After having the issue with my photos being blocked on Facebook, I was told I needed to upgrade to the newest version of Firefox and that the version I am currently using (3.6.3) is no longer supported with security updates. I have tried to follow the steps in the upgrade process through Firefox itself, but have been unable to do it...I would love step by step instructions to walk me through it as I don't know what I am doing wrong.'''bold text'''

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • I loaded what I guess is the new version of Firefox and it completely changed my whole task bar. I don't have my Norton Logins with stored passwords, and it's hard to find my favorites. Help get it back to how it was.

    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data. See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • Is there a way to scroll between footnotes in the new pages version and to actually copy an old text with footnotes into the new version without losing them or having them in the text?

    Since my update I am no longer able to scroll between the footnotes. I have to klick on each one to change something. That is unbearable since I have to write a lot of academic texts which usally have a ton of different footnotes. I also can not copy some of my old texts into the new version without losing the footnotes or having them in the middle of my text. Does anyone know a trick or if apple will change that for good? Thx for any support - it really drives me crazy

    Isn't that you asking how to get it (undefined) back?
    If you never had Pages '09, you can buy it from Amazon very cheaply:

  • I use the old version of firefox and have tried the new one BUT on the new one the down arrow next to the forward/back buttons is not there. I need to have this so I can return to several pages ago, please tell me if the new version has this feature

    Old versions have a down arrow next to the front and back buttons to show all the pages you have visiteed and can return to but the new version does not have this feature

    ( Windows) right click the arrows and the listing will appear. The change may well be documented somewhere but if so I do not recall where. Presumably other OS such as Mac's will also have the feature using some other shortcut.
    If this solves your problem please '''log in''' and then click the solved button, the question and answer will then display in search results and should help others.

  • After upgrading to the newer version of Firefox, a lose all my tabs every time I close. I've done what was suggested in the FAQx, but I still lose them all when I close. I want to fix this. How?

    I want to know how to have my tabs save when I close Firefox. I did what was suggested in the FAQs section, but all my tabs disappear every time I close Firefox, whether using the "exit" command, or the "X" button. This was the very reason I never updated to the new version previously, but had hoped that the problem had been addressed and upgraded, now I'm stuck with having to reopen every tab every time I open Firefox. Please tell me there is a way to correct this. And, I'm not fluent in technospeak, so I need simple, basic instructions. Thank you. Mark

  • I need to install Mozella Firefox 2.0 to fill out a form that is not supported with the newer version that is installed on my PC. Do I need to delete the new version before using the older version?

    I need to install Mozella Firefox 2.0 to fill out a form that is not supported to input info from the newer version that is installed on my PC. Do I need to delete the newer version before using the older version? If so, how do I delete the new version and install the older version?

    If you just need it for one site you can use the portable version of Firefox 2 instead. You can install the portable version on a USB key, or if one is not available choose the custom install and install it somewhere on your hard drive. The portable version will not interfere with your current version of Firefox. You can get the portable version from http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable - the link for Firefox 2.0.0.20 is near the bottom of that page.

  • Is Anyone Having Problems with the newer version of Firefox?

    I still have my older Mac OsXv10.4 Tiger software. I wasn't exactly happy with Safari browser as it would block many sites and were considered incompatible so I downloaded the free Firefox browser (the 2.0 version) of which I STILL have. I'm aware that there is a much newer version and would like to download that, but I've heard a lot of people saying they have been having severe problems with it, but then they have PCs and not Macs.
    So my question is for you Mac users that use Firefox, have you had major problems with the newer version? I'm real hesitant to download if I'm going to have the same problem PC users are having...like constantly crashing. Also would my old Tiger software be compatible? I don't want to upgrade to Leopard.

    Yes. I had problems with Firefox 3.5. The primary problem was very slow or never-ending loading of certain websites (particularly secure sites and sites with many features). I also have had similar, but not as bad, problems with Safari 4. I never had these problems with Safari 2 or Firefox 2. It just seems that with each update, the problems increased for me. I have read the Safari and Firefox forums and tried many fixes with little improvement. I have come to the conclusion that there is some kind of compatibility problem between the latest versions of Safari and Firefox and Shockwave Flash and/or Javascript and OS 10.4, particularly on PPC Macs. I expect there are many who will disagree and I cannot argue or prove the point. This is just my opinion. And I recognize that my problems could be caused by my setup and not by the browsers. By the way, I do not use any add-ons with any of my browsers. Anyway, I got tired of dealing with it and installed the latest version of Camino about 2 weeks ago. I also did a clean install of Firefox 3.0.13. Camino is working out great for me. It is simple and it works. No problems at all. So currently I am using Camino as my primary browser and Firefox 3.0.13 as my backup. I hope this helps.

  • Has anyone else noticed a RADICAL increase in popups under the new version of Firefox when clicking on links in Yahoo mail?

    The question says it all. The one advantage that Internet Explorer has always had is that it can block ALL popups, even the ones that might be advantageous to the user, while Firefox only blocks most popups. Since the upgrade to the new version, however, I've noticed that the rate of popups has JUMPED, especially when I go to different parts of my Yahoo mail account. Like with any other unwanted popup, I close the window immediately upon its appearance, so I see little purpose in them at all, but that, of course, is another topic for another time.

    hello luislast, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware/malware on your pc. please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and do a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and/or a different tool like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes].

  • Even when I download and install the new version of firefox, I get the messsage that I don't have the new version.

    how do I know if I have the new version installed?

    Hi janeginsburg,
    Looking at your system details, you are running the latest version. You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. That page is no longer being maintained by Google.
    You should try changing your home page to:
    about:home
    If you don't know how to change the home page, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
    Hopefully this helps

  • I continue to have problems with links in email, they don't  Work.

    I continue to have problems with links in email, they don't work. When I called apple support she said to hard boot by holding off and home keys and restart. However this is only since the new release of the operating system,  it happens ever day and it's getting OLD.. Any solutions?

    Yes, almost daily since the iOS update. Is there a permanent solution. And does the hard reboot hurt the iPad?

  • Why is Firefox getting WORSE with each new version? The new version eleven crashes my PC about every 15 minutes! Back to I.E.!

    The new version 11 crashes my entire PC causing a total restart about every 15 minutes and I have tried everything to fix this problem with no luck so I have now went back to I.E. aat least it doesnt crash and i can watch Youtube vids without hanging up every 30 seconds!
    Each new version of Firefox seems to be WORSE than the one before, crashing my entire system is my biggest issue at this point! Some of the older versions seemed stable so what and why has the developers tptally ruined this browser? I am not the only person with these problems I see forums full of users complaining so why isnt the developers putting out a stable browser?
    Firefox needs to GET ON THE BALL and get a stable browser out for all of its lowal users this is totally rediculous! I am VERY PISSED OFF!

    Whatever you do, don't get version 12 because it's just as bad as the rest. Not responding, not responding is what I see most of the time. I'm tired of looking at that blue circle spinning.
    I thought Firefox is suppose to be tops but I've had more problems with it than I had with IE. It literally takes minutes for some pages to load. Tabs and pages open by themselves from who knows where.
    The updates and new versions go from bad to worse. I scan my computer several times a week with MSE, Malwarebytes, Spybot and SuperAntispyware, thinking that it might help and it doesn't.
    This is pathetic. Firefox, please get someone in there who knows what the heck they are doing. It seems like instead of bug fixes, someone's putting in some bugs.
    No one should have to repeatedly do this:
    1. Restart your computer
    2. Clear your cookies and cache
    3. Update your plugins
    4. Restart Firefox in Safe Mode
    5. Troubleshoot your plugins
    6. Reset your Firefox settings
    7. Reinstall Firefox
    8. Make a new profile
    Other solutions
    Check for conflicts with your Internet security software
    Scan your system for viruses and spyware
    Check your hard drive for errors
