Upgrading difficulties. Parts skipped? No firefox on my Mac now.
Previous version 6.0 on MacBook Pro did not accept update to 8 without checking to see if it was unlocked but this want not the case. I no longer have this version available and would like to find out how to get this back.
Better download from here the latest stable version and install it:

Why can't I upgrade to the most recent Firefox with a Mac 10.5.8
I'm trying to update Firefox 3.0.10. I have a Mac 10.5.8 with 512 MB of SDRam. When I try to upgrade to the most recent Firefox it tells me my computer isn't compatible, but also tells me that Osx 10.5 with 512 MB of ram should work. Any suggestions? Is there a previous Firefox update which could work, and how would I go about finding that previous update.
Thanks, sorry I'm not so good at this stuff.Firefox 3.6.x is the last available from Mozilla for PPC Macs. <br />

Download Firefox 3.6.26 and install it - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
For older Macs that aren't supported in the Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

Fire fox has always been my preferred browser. I received a message that i needed to update Firefox. I did this and moved the icon to my application file as shown; noting only one of two steps was completed. there was no opportunity to do anything else. I opened it by clicking that i agreed it was an application from the internet. It worked that afternoon. I then turned off my computer, and now the old and the new mozilla firefox icons will not work. I have all my bookmarks on Firefox and need to use it constantly while I work; how do I get it back?!
You calendar info should also be mirrored on your computer. Use the option to replace all events on the iPod with the info on your computer during the next sync. You can find this option in the info pane, Advanced section.
You can also use the latest backup to restore from, it contains the calendar info as well: iTunes: About iOS backups -
After upgrading to Firefox 8.0.1, now on at least one website I use, it limits the number of characters that I can type in a text box to 275, is there a way to fix this?
That may be part of the coding that the web page is using.

The scroll bar (the one used to scroll up and down any kind of website), that is normally in the right part of the firefox browser, would be of much help to me if it could sometimes be moved to the left part of the browser. Is this possible? How can it be done? Can anybody tell me the exact steps to take in order to do this (if it is possible of course)? This would be helpfull to me, since I think that the firefox scroll bar is overlaping the scroll part of the facebook chat sidebar, since I just can see a few people on this facebook chat sidebar and I can´t scroll along it, as I could a while ago. So my guess is that the firefox scroll bar is covering the other. In order to solve it in a simpler way, I guessed that if the firefox scroll bar could be moved to the left side of the browser, this problem could be solved. So, can anybody help me?

Type '''about:config''' in Location (address) bar
filter for '''layout.scrollbar.side'''
Right-click the Preference and Modify it to '''3'''
You may need to reload any pages open to have scrollbar move to left after Preference change. -
I have a Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit, and when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 now it won't run, it keeps saying to restart the computer to complete the installation, but I've restarted theserver 4 times, and I still can't use it.
I ended up putting it in DFU mode. It's kinda hard to tell it was in DFU mode because nothing showed on the screen, it was just black, but the sounds from the computer helped to tell me it was connected.
Itunes still didn't recognize the device for whatever reason.
So I used redsn0w. I don't know if I can say that on these forums, but considering itunes was worthless at this point I am going to give credit where credit is due.
Now I am giving itunes a second chance to upgrade to 5.1, if it doesn't work, well, back to redsnow and maybe I will even jailbreak it this time rather than just using the fecovery fix found under extras. -
Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. My laptop is new and has plenty of RAM and HDD. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped working and does not work when I re-load Firefox 3.6. Also IE8 now works very slowly and does not locate major websites like Microsoft without a 'can't find the website message' and having to pressing Return a second time. When I do get to the Mozilla website and click on the button to try to download Firefox 3.6.6, I get this message "Oops! Internet Explorer could not find mozilla3.snt.utwente.nl". Can you help with what has gone wrong? As it stands, I can't use Firefox at all. Note: because Firefox did not work after the upgrade, I've downloaded the IE8 version of the Adobe Flash 10.1. What I really want is to be able to use both Firefox and IE8. But is this possible if they use different versions of Adobe Flash?

Every time Firefox opened

After upgrading to Ffx 3.6.6, the program asks you to upgrade to Flash Player Plugin 10.1. I download and installed 10.1 only to find videos weren't loading.
In my case, the problem is the previous installation of Flash Player (9.0.47) was somehow messing things up. To fix this, because I already had Flash plugin 10.1 installed I had to uninstall 10.1 using the uninstaller from adobe and then manually remove any files related the old flash player plugin 9.0.47
Here is a run-down of my process:
0. To check if you have a previous installation of the Flash Plugin lurking around, in Firefox go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins (tab). At this point you may seen both Flash plugins.
1. Proceed to uninstall Flash Plugin 10.1. Adobe provides an uninstaller here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
( you have to make sure you have nothing running when you execute the installer).
2. On my Mac (sorry I don't know what it is in Windows) I searched the hard drive for any files/folders with "Shockwave". I found a folder called "Shockwave 10". It wasn't removed by Adobe's uninstaller. For safety I deleted it and then emptied the trash.
3. I then went to My HD -> Library -> Internet Plugins.
Remove the file and folder named "Flash player.old"
4. Restarted; ran the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installer. Restarted again.
5. Opened up ffx and double checked the plugins list (see step 1). Version 10.1 is installed and available. Went to problem sites to test it out and Success!
Hope this helps. -
've just upgraded to latest version of Firefox 4 and my Mac is only OSX.10.4.11 and now it won't open. How do I downgrade and get old Firefox back. Don't want to lose all my bookmarks. Why was I able to install in the first place. Very frustrated!!
You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
You can trash Firefox 4.0 then re-install Firefox 3.6, it will use your existing bookmarks, passwords etc
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com -
I upgraded to Firefox 12.0. Now, when I attempt to reach my Gmail calendar, it only comes up in read-only mode. I temporarily went to Explorer. the calendar comes up in edit mode without issue. What should be my next steps to resolve this?
Glad it worked, Thanks for posting back. It is a simple solution but often overlooked. I have often myself wasted time on looking for more complex solutions.

I was upgrading to the latest version of itunes, and my new ipad mini was connected to my computer at the same time, try to sync for the first time. The upgrade crashed part way through, and now itunes won't load and I get an error message saying MSVCR80.dll is missing. How do I do about reinstalling this file?
Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

I upgraded to 9.01 of Firefox and now get an error 'MORZCRT19.dll" --
If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then disable Virtualization and reinstall Firefox.

I upgrade to Firefox 5.0 and now when I start Firefox it takes a While but I get a Pop-up window with the message [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE) [nsIJSCID.getService]" nsresult: "0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://fvd.single/content/fvd_single.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 1526" data: no] Once I press ok on the pop-up window, Firefox will then start okay. I have not noticed any other problems yet.
We suspect this issue is caused by [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flash-video-downloader-youtube/ Flash Video Downloader] , can anyone confirm this by disabling this addon and verifying if the issue still occurs?

Can I change the mustard colour of the top part of the firefox page?
I've just installed Firefox 34.0 on a new windos 8.1. netbook. The top part of the firefox page - the part the tabs titles and the menu bar sit in - is a rather ugly mustard yellow - does anyone know how to change this colour? Thanks.
Sorry about the sequence of this reply. Screenshot as requested - horrible isn't it!!
Meanwhile it's solved thanks to Alan and Cor -el. Alan the problem existed from installation but I'll remove the banner thing just in case.
Both of your various instructions did take me to 'themes' once I put my brain in gear and I've started to test different colour options..
Many thanks to all
I don't quite understand why Mozilla opted for mustard though!! Maybe this is only in windows 8.1, which I've been using for a few days now? -
I have a mac pro 1,1. I would like to know if its possible for me to upgrade the parts to where i can install osx mountain lion, or osx mavericks? I am currently adding more ram so it will have 32gb of ram, i have 2 250gb HDD but adding a 250gb SSD , and have a ATI Radeon HD 4870 512mb that i will most likely upgrade to an ATi Radeon HD 5570 1gb.
The SSD will boot fast, but the real change is launching 10 programs in 10 seconds and being able to use them. (20 seconds for a few big suites).
I would not add or upgrade to 32GB RAM. You can get 8 x 2GB for $100 on Amazon.
Those 250GB HDD are "old" and slow and overdue to be replaced, reformat and use t o backup the system.
Samsung 250GB SSD is down to $150 or so on Amazon also.
The 5770 is gone, hard to find, EOL and over charged for when you do find one.
you could look into how to use a PC 6870 or others.
Or, you could hold out and wait for a refresh of Mac-Mini which can be just as fast or faster and run Mavericks.
