Today when I opened Firefox It wouldn't open on restore down mode but when I went to full page it was OK, restored down again it disappeared or crashed. Yours G.Swan

Today when I open Firefox the web page didn't appear in restore mode, but it appeared in task bar I then tried full screen which did come up as a full page, then when I restored down I lost it again and it was still in the task bar and would regain full page when asked. That's how I'm sending this request. Also when loading gmail the system crashed.

Each time I open Firefox on my Mac, I am told to upgrade, but when I press install it simply runs on and on without completing.

Lately when I open Firefox, a dialog box comes up informing me that I should upgrade. But when I press install what I get is a process that goes on and on and never ends. I have had this happen several times and each time I have ended up closing the box and ending the process. This concerns me because I fear that at some point my version of Firefox will be so old that it will cease functioning. What can I do to insure that the newest version is installed. I have a Mac Book with OS 10.6.8.

This seems to have solved the problem. In any case I now have v. 35 instead of v. 14. Thank you.

When I try to open firefox it says an update is ready to apply, but when I click ok it says it can not because firefox is already running.

When I double click Firefox it says an update is ready to be applied. Would you like to apply it now? I click yes and a green bar starts to fill, at about 3/4 it beeps twice it says it could not be completed because another instance of Firefox is already running, please close it and retry. However, the only program my task-manager shows is the update.

Did you check the Processes tab in the Task Manager? 
You may also have other (security) software that is having a file handle open on some of the files. 
In that case you may need to download the full version and delete the Firefox program folder before installing that downloaded update.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.

Sometimes when I close Firefox and try to open it in few moments it shows me message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." However, I haven't opened any additional Firefox related programs, and previous Firefox is closed. First I though it is because of my computer, but then I discovered that other people have the same problem as well

Hi Andis.
First of all, this is completely normal behavior, although it's a bit irritating, I know. What happens is that when you close Firefox, despite the window disappearing right there and then, Firefox keeps running for a little bit until the whole closing procedure is completed. This can take a fraction of a second on fast computers, or can take a few seconds on slow computers or when Firefox is storing a large session (if you save your tabs). All you have to do is wait a bit until Firefox closes, and then open it again.
To see if it's still running, you can press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and then, under the Processes tab, you can see if firefox.exe is still there. If it's taking an unusual amount of time to close (which happens very rarely, and only if the browser freezes on exit), you can force the application to terminate from this application (task manager).
Firefox 4.0 will reduce by 97% the time it takes firefox.exe to close, so this problem will be basically erased for Firefox's next version.
Until then, I can recommend you this extension, which helps you restart your browser more easily and without bothering about closing times:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3559/
Hopefully this will help.

Before, when i closed Firefox with multiple tabs open, it prompted me and asked if I wanted to return to these tabs the next time. When i downloaded the new Firefox, i can't do that anymore. Is there an add-on to make that happen?

I recently updated Firefox on my desktop and laptop. Before, when i closed Firefox, a window would open and ask me if i wanted to return to the same group of URL location tabs the next time i opened Firefox.
Now it doesn't ask that, so i have to remember which sites i was using each time. Is there a way to return to the same group of URL locations each time I re-open Firefox?

For a summary of what to do to get the old behaviour back see this post from [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/804339#answer-158823 Helper 7677]

When I restart Firefox, my pinned tabs open to the last webpage that I viewed rather than the page that I originally pinned. For example, if I pinned to a local newspaper's website, navigate to espn while on the pinned tab and then close Firefox, the next time I open Firefox, the pinned tab goes to espn rather than the local newspaper's site.
Additionally, the same thing happens if I am reading an article on the pinned tab. When reopening Firefox, the pinned tab goes to the last article viewed.

Hi don.w,
That is just the way that pinned tabs are designed. They are meant to be left on the page you want them left on e.g. a web mail account.
If you want to pin a newspaper then I would pin the front page and then open any article you want to read in a new tab.
Having said that there is an addon called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-utilities/ Tab-utilities] which contains an option to automatically revert a pinned tab to the original URL.
I hope that helps.

I was having issues with firefox so I upgraded to firefox 4. I am connected to the internet but when I open firefox or even internet explorer it says Unable to connect problem loading page. Nothing will pull up!!! No help link or anything!!?

I don't know if you are still having the issue but if you are have you contacted your ISP? It sounds to me like it's more of a connectivity issue than a browser problem. I've dealt with similar things several times and in both cases it was something with the modem or an ISP setting.
I'm also wondering if it could be a Wi-Fi issue. Can you log in to your router? (It varies by brand but you would go to a site such as http://192.168.10.1. That is for Trendnet. The information for yours should be in the documentation that came with it.)
You should be able to get the router log in page to come up even if you can't connect to any websites. (Provided the network is set up correctly.)
I also would double check your connection settings (if you're connecting over Wi-Fi) or your ethernet connection. (If you're connected directly to the modem and router.)
Hopefully one of these suggestions will be helpful.

Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles.

Firefox will not work in frontierville game,it loads but when you try to work your farm it crashes

Firefox will load the game of frontierville on facebook, But when you try to do anything on your homestead it pops up internet failure! I can use IE 8 just fine but firefox has stopped working. I would rather use firefox but I can't. I have made sure all plugins, flash, or whatever and all is updated and current. #rd party is set to accept on flash, I don't know what else to do. I am frustrated.! Please Help ! Thanks, Bob Lamberth

Did you submit crash reports?
If you have submitted Breakpad crash reports then post the IDs of one or more Breakpad crash reports (bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx). 
You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the about:crashes page. 
You can open the about:crashes page via the location bar, like you open a website.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad (Mozilla Crash Reporter)
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes
* [[Firefox crashes]]
There have been reports that the latest Flash 10.2 r152 version can cause problems and in that case you can try to downgrade to the previous 10.1 r102 version.

Hi,
I scoured the web looking everywhere for a solution to this.
Exit Code 15
OSX 8.5 with Work@Home DVD media for CS6
I followed instructions to run 3rd party cleaner software
I tried the adobe removal tool
removing all copies of adobe software manually
installing from a new account, safe mode, plist everything suggested that i found did not work.
A colleague suggested that removing the below folder would allow the installation:
/Library/Application Supports/Adobe
They turned out to be correct, so i am passing this on, because this took far too many hours of my time.
Cheers,

I cannot open iphoto from my external hard drive. its there but when i open it, it just opens my current iphoto library.

anyone have any clues about this? I backed up my iphoto library last november. Now i would like to open it up and use some of those images. but when i plug in my external HD and try to open the iphoto library, all that happens is it opens my current iphoto library. i know all of my images are on the HD bc i can control click the iphoto library in the HD and click 'show ackage contents' and all images are there. plus the amount of space is correct. I do not understand why i cannot pull up the images??? any help would be greatly appreciated there has to be an explination, as well as a better way to retrieve all those images other than dragging each file indivdually and resaving it back to the computer.

The way to switch default libraries in iPhoto is to depress the option key and launch iPhoto - use the select library command to switch to a new default library which will remain the library until you switch again
And note that if you make changes to your backup library it no longer a backup but a different library

Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee

You can disable autoupdate by following these steps:
Go to main menu > Tools > Options > click on Advanced tab > click on Update tab and then click on the round radio button that says ''Never check for updates (not recommended: security risk)''
