There are now no drop-down menus on browser, i.e., no file, edit, bookmarks, etc
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Last day or so.

Hit the '''Alt''' key to show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark.

Adobe Flash Player 10 often locks the page when ads are moving, only in the Firefox browser.

If I for example want to download from www.mediafire.com the page comes up, then the Adobe Flash Player 10 puts up a warning box (before the ads appear in the window) and tells about an Action-script Error:
SecurityError: Error #2060: Misuse of the security sandbox: ExternalInterface-caller http://cdn.mediafire.com/helper.swf has not entrance to http://www.mediafire.com/?vb3ky92o1vc8s58.
at flash.external::ExternalInterface$/_initJS()
at flash.external::ExternalInterface$/call()
at helper_fla::MainTimeline/getString()
at helper_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
If I answer "Continue" the ads come up and I can procede. If not, all will be locked and I have to start the Firefox from the beginning. If I click on some link before saying continue all will be locked as well.

Same thing here. I updated Flash to 10,2,153,1 installed and cannot load Flash apps like Facebook Scrabble using FF4.0
I reverted back to FF3.6.16 and it works fine.

Is there a way to install the Firefox browser on my iPad with the Zotero plug in?

Is there a way to install Firefox on my iPad with the Zotero plugin?

There is ongoing work on a basic Zotero iOS app - see here:
http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/20588/ipad-application/
I'd expect a first alpha to come out soon. If your question is about using Zotero with an ipad, that's your best bet.
For current workflow with tablets generally, also check out Zotfile reader.

Yesterday I had a "microphone" symbol on the top line you know where Safari/File/Edit ETC is located. Today it is gone. Where can I find it?

Try posting a screenshot of what you are seeing. Do not included an personal information.

When clicking a link normally - a new tab would open, but in this version a new window opens and there are 2 blue bars - the bar at the top of the browser and on the left hand side is a orange firefox button - Next time i start firefox it crashes!!!

This window looks weird: there are 2 blue bars(the upper blue bar - normally there is 1, with the current page name and - Mozilla Firefox written in white inside of the bar) plus in the 2nd bar there is an orange firefox button, on the left hand side.
I have already asked this question and was adviced to start in safe mode - this did not help either.
Please help me quickliy, it is really annoying.
Thanks
Richard

"The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again"

I'm using Firefox 4 Beta and I tryed install update but I dont got success. Now every time that I go start the browser is displayed the mensage: "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again"
My release is installed not in default drive C:\. I installed in the other Partition on my PC.
I don't have other release installed.

Try a clean re-install.
* Download the setup file from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/RC (this is for the Firefox 4 release candidate)
* Uninstall Firefox, do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data"
* Delete the Firefox installation directory - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
* Re-install Firefox
This process does not remove the Firefox user data such as bookmarks and passwords which are stored elsewhere in the profile folder.
You may also need to manually reset the Software Update feature by deleting the software update files as shown in the "Software Update not working properly" section here - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update

I imported bookmarks from Firefox 3.6 on a MacBook Pro to Firefox 3.6 on new Mac Air. The bookmark folders all show up, but there are no bookmarks in the folders.

Using Firefox 3.6.12 on both machines. Exported the bookmarks at html and imported them as html. The import seemed to go well -- followed the standard approach. I can see all the folders in my Bookmarks Menu and Bookmarks Toolbar, there are no bookmarks in the folders. I tried re-exporting and re-importing.

You can find the Import menu entry in the Bookmarks Manager (Library)
*Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Data from Another Browser
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks
Import & Backup is the third button on the toolbar in the Library that looks like a star.
You should be able to export the bookmarks via that button.

Thanks for the info about Trojan. It may be the problem. Meanwhile I went to Admin/Owner side and did some cleaning -- including trying to reload my Favorite/Bookmarks that have always carried forth from previous levels of Windows XP and earlier.
The new computer here did not grab the Bookmarks from the previous, and yesterday I thought I had them loaded, and today went to Worker-Bee side and they are not showing.
About those add-ons... I have no idea, but think I got everything up to date yesterday. I will look at your earlier reply tomorrow or this weekend when I have more time at home to learn from it.
Thank you for your time in helping.

An update tries to run, but an error message stating "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." I can't open Firefox

I click on Firefox and it says that Firefox is installing your updates and will start in a few minutes. Then I get "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." this cycle never ends. Do I need to deinstall Firefox and re-install? If I do that, do i lose all of my bookmarks, etc?

After upgrading to Firefox 8 there are no bookmarks in the sidebar when it is displayed. The bookmarks are there under the Bookmarks menu. History appears in the sidebar

There are no bookmarks in the bookmarks sidebar. The only way I can access my bookmarks is by clicking on the Bookmarks Menu. All booksmarks and folder then show up in the drop down menu - but when I go to organise them, there is nothing listed under Organise. My history will show up in the sidebar. I can't find a way to sort my bookmarks, and don't know if I can save a new bookmark.

Open or close History Sidebar --> CTRL+H 
Open or close Bookmarks Sidebar --> CTRL+B
Click the small "x" to the right of the word History or Bookmarks in the Sidebar will close that sidebar 
If the History Sidebar is open, CTRL+B will close it and open the Bookmarks Sidebar 
If the Bookmarks Sidebar is open, CTRL+H will close it and open the History Sidebar
