Using Firefox 3.6.13 on Mac OSX 104.11 all my history has suddenly disappeared! Why? I need it back!

I am using a wonderful, bu old, Mac OSX 10.4.11. I am using Firefox 3.6.13. Last night my history was there! This morning when I turned my computer on it has all disappeared! Why?
The bookmarks bar is still intact.
I have changed no setting...I would not want my history to ever clear - it's useful to have there!
Please can someone help me?

I totally agree, there have been many Mac users that have been effected by this.

Since I updated to Firefox 8 on Mac OSX 10.4.11, Firefox will not open anymore (not even previous versions downloaded via Safari). I get the error message 'You cannot use Firefox with this version of Mac OSX' (translated from Dutch).

I have tried creating a new profile, problem remains the same.
None of the 3 accounts on this desktop can use Firefox anymore. This has never been a problem. Today (14.11.11) I updated Firefox to 8, and nothing anymore. Via Safari I downloaded Firefox 7 to reinstall, same error message.

Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do have) '''''and''''' OSX 10.5 or higher (your version is OSX 10.4).

The good news is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with the PPC Mac architecture. The bad news is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

I cannot use my arrow keys to navigate in the text using firefox 4.0 beta fo mac OSX. Is this a setting I can change somewhere?

Also the tab key ti jump from one form window to the next to fill them in, does not work anymore.
It is especially annoying typing emails using webmail. I can only navigate trough the text using my mouse.
I am sorry to post in here but I was not able to give feedback on the blog. Maybe I need to be logged in??

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See:
* [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

How can I get flash player to show full video using Firefox (23.0.1) on MAC (OSX 10.8.4)

On Youtube and other sites, I only see the top left quadrant of the video. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the latest flash player and that did not solve the problem.

Actually, that was my fault - I saw "Tab" and thought of the full settings display and way I'd normally get to the proper place. Anyway, I tried taing the number fo time you mentioned but it did not work. Pressing the Tab key 6 tims and pressing enter did get me to the right place. Pressing Tab once highlights the full box (note yellow outline in 1st pic below:
From there, if I "press Enter again. Press Tab 5 (five) more times, press Enter and close the box." the box does not close and I get to:
If, on the other hand, when I get to the Display page a press tab twice, it highlights the item I need to uncheck as shown below:
If from there I Press enter, it does nto uncheck the box, which is what I think needs to be done. Neither does the space bar. And if I follow out the instructions from there I get to"
So, I'm guesing we may have different items on the setting pages. My version of flash is 11.8.800.94.

Mac osx 10.4.11 airport has 'none' security, do I need to set up a password?

I usually use an etherenet connection to access the internet but set up a wireless connection using a dlink router, so I can use my smartphone and kindle in wifi mode. I am quite new to wifi etc...
Can anyone access my airport?
Do I need to set a password?
When I am in system preferences > airport I notice my security says 'none' but others networks elsewhere (neighbours ?) say WEP or WPA personal.
How would I set a password?
I set a password ( I think ) through d link but this wouldn't allow me to use airport at all - even though it said airport was on it was greyed out and would not accept the password I had set for d link - error message kept appearing. Could not access this with phone or kindle. So I reset d link, now I can connect wirelessly but my security status is none.
Is there an easy way I can make my airport more secure?
Connected through ethernet at the moment, airport is turned off.
Thanks

What's the model of the D-Link?
Does the screen look anything like this:
http://support.dlink.com/emulators/wbr2310/wireless.htm
(This is just an emulator, so you do have to make the changes on YOUR router screen, of course )
If so, under Setup, go to Wireless Settings on the left, Enable WIreless and give the network a name, and the Wireless Security Mode should be set to WPA2 (not WPA2-Auto), leave as TKIP, Personal, then type a new password twice. This will be your network password.
Click Save Settings at the top.

Cannot read mails in hotmail with firefox 15.0.1 on mac osx 10.6.8

I'm using firefox 15.0.1 on mac osx 10.6.8. I can log in hotmail, but cannot open or read any mails.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 which works on OS X 10.4 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Firefox 3.6.28 on Mac OSX 10.4.11 crashes at every attempt to load Huffington Post

Firefox 3.6.28 on Mac OSX 10.4.11 crashes a few seconds into trying to load Huffington Post - no problems anywhere else on the net. Cannot afford new computer with current software. Can I make it work with what I have? Thanks for the info.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Cmd+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
If you open about:crashes, you should get links to online crash reports. You could post some of the crash IDs for review by volunteers here.
Given the timing, another issue might be some ads or media in the page. There are some add-ons to block such things...

After updating to Firefox 4.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.4 there is no longer an "Bookmarks Organize Bookmarks" option. Did it move?

I updated to Firefox 4.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.4. When I go to the "Bookmarks" drop down menu, there is no "Organize Bookmarks" command. How do I do the operations that were under that command such as add new folders, move bookmarks, export bookmarks, etc.?

"Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu.

It turns out that the problem had to do with network accounts, even though it was not clear at first. Redirecting the program to the local machine's cache with a network home redirector script fixed the issue. Thanks anyway.

Using a network-stored catalog with Mac OSX

Greetings all.
I am using Photoshop Elements 11 on Mac OSX Mountain Lion and want to store my catalog on a local network drive (FreeNAS). I have encountered many problems while attempting to do this. Then I noticed in the Elements Organizer help, under the section "Repair a catalog", the following: "Note: (Mac OS) You cannot access catalogs present on a network drive."
Is this true. or has someone found a workaround to the problem?
Thanks!
--John

Thanks, for that ( I assume we have to carry on in English due to forum policy even though we are both of German tongue I assume)
You mean the access problems are part of the "no network drive" thing? I suspected that. Took me a whole day in front of my computer to realign the mess. So should one better not use the network drives at all? Quite a pity in times where everybody seems to use network storage.
No, I did not use organizer to use the photos. So there is no way to reconnect them? Should I delete the catalogue and start with the photos from scratch?
Regards

Well, yes, these are part of the "no network drive" thing.
As for moving the photos, did you use organizer to move them? You will always have trouble if you move photos outside of organizer, even on the same drive--you have to let it manage your photos or it doesn't have a clue as to what happened.

Using Firefox 3.6.20 with Mac OS 10.4.11. It takes Firefox about 60 seconds to open window. Can you help?

I am using Firefox 3.6.20 on Mac with OS 10.4.11. It takes about 60 seconds for browser window to open. I did not have this problem with previous version of Firefox. Help!!!

This is so frustrating. I said in my original message that I do NOT want to supposedly "update" my OS to 10.5 or more. I have seen those versions and DON'T like them. They louse up iMovie & are more cumbersome. I am not interested in layers of networking, games, and being tangled up with an insecure "cloud." The iTunes set up is already obnoxious enough, when you try to manage, organize & back up your music.
I do not like how the computer/phone/etc. high tech world take away our choices, forcing us to up grade to stuff we don't want, frequently at a higher cost.
I am not the only one who wants to stick with the better Mac OS system. If this answer is actually from Firefox, then I am disappointed in FireFox. I really appreciated the security of using Firefox to connect to the internet.

A few times when i try to quit out of firefox, it causes my new mac osx (version 10.6.8) to freeze--turning the whole screen whitish blue, which is the same color before the mac is to shut down. Why??
