Upgraded to Firefox 4 browser from 3.7 ..and had problems. Removed it and went back to 3.7. I have Windows XP!

I upgraded to Mozilla Firefox 4 from 3.7. I have Windows XP on my computer, and I had all kinds of problems. I had to remove 4.0 and reinstall 3.7. Will there be improvements made so I can eventually upgrade? Geo Grodesky

Xircal beat me to it. What is wrong? What have you tried.?
Have you used the Help page and the Search Firefox Help box above? If you work your way through the questions and answers you'll see so many common themes - memory usage, buttons combined and moved, Menu Bar gone or no Firefox Button, problematic extensions, Status Bar gone, Incompatible third party toolbars etc.
Sounds a lot but there are so many easy fixes. With some simple customization and a new theme, I've got Firefox working beautifully and looking good, too.
Do you know about Firefox Safe Mode and New profile as tests for more difficult problems with your setup, rather than Firefox.
I'm just a an occasional passer-by but there are expert volunteers here eager to help. You need to make the effort now or before long Fx3 will not be supported and you'll need to make the jump to Fx5 or 6. I can't see Mozilla reversing many changes.
I hope I've caught the attention of other users, too.

Do you have a phone support number?
Firefox often disappears from my computer and I have to redownload. I do it from your site hoping it's safe, but my Internet Explorer always blocks it at first and I have to tell it it's ok. Then my virus checker pops up and says "potential problem", and then I search all the other options for downloading and the same thing happens with all of them.
How can I be sure I'm safe when downloading Firefox and why does this happen so often? I have XP, but my husband has it also on two computers, and he never has this problem.
I have also searched to see if I can contribute to Firefox, because I think it is a GREAT browser. I just don't know where to go for information like this, and you don't seem to have a phone number.
Thank you.

Hi Standupmom, I might be considered a random person, actually.
Maybe this is the other page you remember? [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/contribute/ Get Involved: Volunteer Opportunities at Mozilla].

I just upgraded to Firefox 3.6.13 this morning and now, when I click on a link in an email or webpage, it won't open Firefox. How can I get this option restored in Firefox so I don't have to copy and paste the link?

Tried to upgrade to osx 10.9 from 10.7 and I didn't notice that it downloads in the launcher. I turned my mac off and ever since then it has glitched out and will not download no matter what I do. I have had it for 3 years which is out of warranty.

I have had it for 3 years which is out of warranty. It now has a blank bar under the launch pad and no matter how many times I try re-downloading it or restarting my computer it does not work. I use too play starcraft and other games on this computer although new patched/updates have made it that I can no longer do that now. Really frustrating having to deal with this especially after buying this computer upfront and now out of warranty.

Go to your Applications folder and find a file called "Install OS X Mavericks". Send it to the trash and delete it. Then try the download again.

Upgrade of firefox 9 did not keep bookmarks and settings.

just as stated in question. upgrade to firefox 9 has lost all settings and bookmarks. Is there any way to retrieve them?
thanks,
Curiousdumpling

Possibly Firefox created a new profile with the update. If so, you should be able to find the old one.

Sync from iPhone to iCal on MacBook has failed since the latest iPhone upgrade, yesterday. It's worked in reverse, and all other sync operations appear to have worked. Any solutions, that I may not have already tried (over and over)

(Sorry, first time user of these forums, and it's confusing in it's own right)

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

I have Imac (OSX10.6.8) and 6 days of emails that were in my inbox have disappeared. They've also gone from gmail server and my back up hard drive. But if I look at "All Mail" on my Iphone the emails are there!! Have I got settings wrong somewhere?

"One of the benefits of Match, right? Saving hard drive space."
I would not use iTunes Match as a backup. There are too many bugs and I don't think that's what they intended it to be anyway. The main advantage of using it is to make your music available on OTHER devices, not to replace the music on your original computer.

HT4859 How do I retrieve my photos from the cloud after a reset. My photos are gone from my phone, and I backed them up on iCloud?

How do I retrieve my photos from the cloud after a reset. My photos are gone from my phone, and I backed them up on iCloud? when I restored it, no camera roll pictures?

Try restoring the backup again. Sometimes it's successful the second time. You could also try restoring an older backup. iCloud will have your last 3 backups is you have sufficient storage space in your account.

We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail. ???

We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail, either in the inbox or in the spam folder. Is it possible to bypass the gmail account and send directly to the Apple mail server, spoofing the gmail address?

Maybe some info here for you about spoofing. (and much additional info)

I just reformatted my Windows XP computer and need help transfering everthing from my iPad and iPhone back into iTunes

I recently had to format my Windows XP Pro computer and need to transfer all the iTunes information from my iPad1 and iPhone4 back to my PC. I could use some help, everytime I try it it says it will delete everything on my iPhone/Pad and reload everything from the new iTunes (now only 54 songs instead of the 342 that I have on my iPhone right now.)

You have a backup of your computer, or at the very least of your iTunes media, correct?
Simply copy your backup of your iTunes media into the iTunes library on your new computer.
Connecting and syncing your device to the new computer without first recovering your iTunes media is a really, really, really bad idea. iDevices are designed to ONLY sync with one computer. When you plug your device into a new computer, it will wipe all media on the device when it syncs. The only media you may be able to salvage and transfer to the new computer would be anything bought directly on the device.
If you do not have a backup of your iTunes media, then you will want to look at a way (using software from a third party company) to extract the media from you iDevice.

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
If this does not help, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
If still no luck, you'll have to contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

Upgraded to Firefox my browser not visible

A few months ago when I upgraded to the new Firefox, my browser vanished with new version. I have trashed all Firefox versions and re-installed (as previously asked) and it did NOT resolve problem. Please give me more solutions...nothing has worked. I need Firefox urgently. Thanks Jack Luceno

Ever since upgrading to Firefox 4, my webpages load much much slower. How can I go back to the previous version of Firefox and keep my bookmarks, etc.?

I don't have any details. The Question explains it all. We just upgraded from 1.5 Mbps to 18 Mbps download speed and webpages opened really quick until I downloaded and installed Firefox 4. I have Internet Explorer 9, but I do not use it. I would just like to go back to the most current previous version of Firefox and keep my settings and bookmarks to see if webpages still load as slow as they are loading now. If so, then it's not the browser and I'll have to troubleshoot.

You can download Firefox 3.6 from this page:
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
However, I'm not sure of the best procedure for removing Firefox 4. You might want to search these forums a bit for advice so you don't lose Bookmarks and other settings.

Upgraded to Firefox 4 browser from 3.7 ..and had problems. Removed it and went back to 3.7. I have Windows XP!
