Trouble with Firefox installation

I can't seem to be able to get Firefox to install.
I download version 2.0.0.3dmg or indeed any version, and when I open the folder and click on the Friefox icon, it opens up the program and gives me a Firefox menu bar - it even seem to import the bookmarks from my previous Firefox version, but it refuses to go to the page I select.
I've run Diskwarrior and Disc Utility. Maybe there is a way of deleting the Friefox Prefs that I should be doing.
Any ideas?
Best
Harry

Hi Harry,
I think you may have bollixed something in your initial install.
Now that you know how to do it, try again:
Delete Firefox from Applications. Then navigate to ~(Home)/Library/Application support and delete the Firefox folder there. Then navigate to ~(Home)/Library/Preferences and delete org.mozilla.firefox.plist
Now download Firefox fresh and try again.

Any trouble with Mavericks installation?

Any trouble with Mavericks installation?

I too have upgraded four of my Macs to Mavericks and had no problems at all with any of them. One of the flaws of discussion groups is that one gets a skewed idea of the number of problems that users have because it is human nature to complain about something, whilst the majority of users who don't have a problem seldom bother to remark on this fact!
I, like most of the successful upgraders here, always follow a simple routine that involves firstly backing up, then (if upgrading multiple Macs) creating a bootable drive with the updater on, using Disk Utility or similar to repair permissions before upgrading the OS. I never use the Mac when upgrading and close all the programs and disconnect all external drives, save for the one with the updater on.
Following this routine means that I have never had a problem with an update since OS 7.5 on any of my 16 odd Macs. Of course, smugness always comes before a fall...!

I was having troubles with Firefox, so I tried to re-download it and I can't find a place to download Firefox for MAC OS X 10.4.11

There really are no no more details. The only version of Firefox that I can find that is available for downloading is not compatible with MAX OS X 10.4.11
This means I am really in trouble. I sent the version I was using to the trash because I was having so many troubles with it not connecting to various sites.
Where can I find a Firefox version that I can download?

You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Since using cloudflare for my site I'm having troubles with Firefox cache

Hello,
Since I'm using CloudFlare for my Site I'm having a weird trouble occurring only with Firefox (version 16.0.2 / Mac OsX.6.8), but not with Chrome or Safari.
When I navigate from the main page of my Wordpress Site to a single post, then back to the main page, then to another single post and back again to the main page, the browser displays a binary file instead of the normal page. After emptying Firefox cache the page loads again properly.
When I pause CloudFlare the trouble disappears.
I just ask here because this does not happen with other browsers.
The config of the site is : Wordpress 3.4.2 with W3 Total Cache Plugin and the browser caching enabled.
If disabling the plugins the problem remains the same.
Thanks in advance to anyone who could help.

Hi,
This is not a solution but one way you could try to troubleshoot this is through the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Web_Console Web Console] opened via '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Web Developer'''. You need to have it open before loading/reloading etc. Clicking on GET, POST links provides detailed info including Content-Type, encoding etc. You can also right-click and select '''Log Request and Response Bodies''' to view the transferred data. Hopefully you would be able to find the cause and resolve it.

I am having trouble with firefox and adobe reader. Also when I have tried to update firefox, it will never finish. Very frustrated

I just can't do anything that needs adobe reader

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

Where can I find Firefox 3.6 to download since I am having trouble with Firefox 4.

I would like to install Firefox 3.6, but I am having trouble finding a place where I can download it. I previously upgraded to Firefox 4, but am having trouble with it and would like to go back to 3.6. Where can I find a site that will let me download 3.6?

What problems are you having with Firefox 4?
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.
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

Having trouble with firefox since the last upgrade

Since the last upgrade to firefox on the 17th jan it will open up an initial tab but wont open any subsequent tabs. if I click on a link or one of my favourites it just seems to sit there going round and round and not connecting. I have never had any sort of problem with firefox before and don't want to uninstall and reinstall in case I lose all of my favourites. Can any one help?

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
'''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit 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 others with the same problem.

Download trouble with Firefox

I implemented download in apex application with PL/SQL process (process point On Load - Before Header). Anonymous block:
declare
l_blob BLOB;
l_length number;
begin
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_blob, false);
dbms_lob.writeappend(l_blob, length('test'), utl_raw.cast_to_raw('test'));
l_length := DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(l_Blob);
owa_util.mime_header( 'text/plain', FALSE );
htp.p('Content-length: '||to_char(l_length));
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="test.txt";');
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(l_blob);
dbms_lob.freetemporary(l_blob);
end;
While this works great on IE8, IE9 and Google Chrome, there is problem with Firefox. Firefox downloads BLOB as "Firefox HTML Document" and not as TEXT. Download of static files from internet works OK. I assume Firefox has problems with MIME header produced by PL/SQL code.
Full example is here:

Feel free to experiment.

Feel free to experiment.This is just because of your browsers preferences and may be it is not defined in your browser how to open a text file(.txt extension) in firefox.
To do that > When you are prompted open with > just go to drop down and select other and select appropriate tool (example notepad)
So from now it should prompt you with open with notepad

Trouble with Firefox 3.1 Beta 1

My tech support people have insisted on my upgrading to
Firefox 3.1 Beta 1. I am having considerable difficulty with simple
functions, such as <ctrl> X (to delete rows in a table) and
<ctrl> V to drop new text copied from an existing document. I
suspect the difficulty is with Firefox, but they deny it.
If necessary, I will switch over to Internet Explorer for use
with Acrobat.com, but I would like to know when to expect Adobe to
catch up with Firefox's newest developments.
S. Malkah Cohen

Hi SMalkah,
I am not sure as to why it wouldn't work with the new
version, however we won't be able to garuntee we work with any beta
version of software.
Were you able to use Acrobat.com just fine with Firefox
3.0.3?
If so, could you go back to the non-beta version of Firefox?
Using Internet Explorer is an option, you also have the
option of using the AIR application for some non-browser function
within Acrobat.com
Visit this link for more info:
Adobe
AIR for Acrobat.com
You can also look at
The Acrobat.com Blog for
entries from the product team that contain interesting tips, tools,
and update information for acrobat.com.
Cheers,
Pete

Trouble with Flash Installation

I am having troubles downloading and installing the latest flash and reader versions. I get the download box after agreeing to the TOS and it goes through the bar and then I get the Initializing Install box and it sits there for a few moments and I get " Installation encountered errors. Actionlist not found." Then it takes me to the troubleshooting page. I have tried both downloaders as well here http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html with the same results. The machine is running XP Pro 32 bit along with IE8. I get the same results when using other browser including Firefox and Silverlight. I'm at wits end and have tried everything I can think of short of a reformat and install. Any suggestions?

I can expand somewhat as you are running a different OS than the computer I was working on. I had to do a repair with the Windows XP disk which got rid of the registry entries for Zeus but was still trying to run. Once I had all of the updates done from microsoft, I reinstalled Malwarebytes from http://www.malwarebytes.org and ran a full scan. That is what detected the Hotbar malware. Just for good measure after that I downloaded and installed CCleaner from http://www.piriform.com/ and checked the prefetch data option and ran both the Cleaner and the Registry options. Both of these programs have free and purchased options. After all of that it finally got both of those out of the system and I was able to download and install Adobe Flash and Reader again. I hope this helps. You might just start with the updates and 2 programs as the computer had other issues with a corrupted registry that caused me to do the repair in the first place.

Trouble with firefox

I have the brand new 5 days old x61 with intel pro/wl 3945abg. Right out of the box I was able to sign on to gmail/facebook fairly easy. After a couple days, my internet was having some problems so it was really slow. However, ever since I've fixed the internet problem, I am able to use the internet on my x61 but am unable to sign on to gmail or facebook using firefox. It can't be my wireless because I am able to go on other pages.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled firefox several times but still presented with the same problem, now, my window explorer is doing the same thing...
I'm not quite sure how to approach this. I am able to sign on gmail/facebook using my hp desktop as well as my dell inspiron laptop via firefox with no problems.

as i just wrote in your other thread, a clean installation is probably the next best thing to try.
