What's going on? I upgraded to Firefox 4.0, but it still looks like I've go ver. 3.6.??? When I start the browser, it takes FOREVER to respond at all. I'm using IE 8 to send this. The previous version worked fine.

The browser responds very slowly if at all. All I did was upgrade, or so I thought.

Hi there - I'm having similar bold text issues with a customer's instance of Firefox 5.0.1 running on Windows 7, Home Premium, SP1 on a Lenovo laptop. There are two issues to be exact:
# text that is supposed to be normal weight appears bold
# some text has an incorrect amount of spacing (padding/margin) around it
These symptoms appear only on this one machine and appears to be fine in Firefox 5.0.1 across at least 3 other machines running Win 7 as well as all other browsers (IE, Chrome, Safari) we've tested in across a variety of platforms.
I've attached an image with a side-by-side comparison of the normal view next to the broken view as it appears on this specific machine.
I've tried unchecking the hardware acceleration option and restarting Firefox - did not work.
I've also tried running Firefox in Windows XP compatibility mode (as suggested here: http://www.groovypost.com/howto/how-to/repair-the-google-and-gmail-bold-font-issue/) - did not work.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

  • Just upgraded to firefox 4 and websites are now taking ages to load, there were no problems when I downloaded the upgrade. Is there a fault with the new version of firefox?

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

    I transferred itunes library from old PC to new PC. The content all shows when I launch iTunes on the new PC now. The previous content does not show in iTunes but folder still looks like it is on hard drive on new PC. Suggestions on how to properly merge?

    Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
    To get all your content off your connect your iPad to your new computer.
    Then use a 3rd party piece of software to transfer your content
    I have found Senuti useful but there are others listed in the article I linked to in a previous post.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    That will let you transfer your non purchased content
    For Purchased content log in to iTunes on the new computer
    In Itunes Store click on Purchased under the Quick Links section on the right.
    Download any music by clicking on the cloud button

    firefox 25.0 disabled kaspersky virtual keyboard and safe money ect how do i change back to the previous version as fire fox tells you to late in the update to back track

    Hello Bretus,
    Thank you for contacting Mozilla Support and I'm sorry this update isn't compatible with the extensions you're using.
    The Kaspersky support forums mention that those extensions will be updated soon, so that they are compatible with FF25. In the meantime, we do not recommend that you downgrade your version of Firefox, but you can find instructions and download locations for previous versions here:
    [[Install an older version of Firefox|Install an older version of Firefox]]
    Please let us know if this solves your issue.
    Cheers, Patrick

  • Firefox 4 refuses to load pages on my mac os 10.5.8 and brand new laptop as well- i gave to force quit over and over- can i revert to an earlier version? will the problem be fixed soon? - previous versions worked fine

    ever since i downloaded the 4.0 version of firefox, it has not worked on either computer[ macs] - earlier versions worked fine. It refuses to load pages and freezes [ on various sites , not just one]so i have to force quit it over and over.

    HI,
    Empty the Safari Cache from the Safari Menu Bar more often.
    Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

  • I have installed Firefox 4 Mobile on my N900 but I am not satisfied with it. How do I go back to the previous version?

    While Firefox 4 is a suburb application, it does not play Flash Videos and there is no add-on for that, and therefore it prohibits me from watching videos on the various news sites I visit.
    The previous version of Firefox Mobile supported a software version of Flash that was adequate for playing Flash videos, but I cannot find the previous version of Firefox anywhere on the web.
    My question is: how can I install the previous version of Firefox mobile on my N900?

    To enable Flash in Firefox 4.0 for N900:
    # Type about:config in the location bar and press return.
    # Find the preference "plugin.disable".
    # Tap on the toggle switch to set the value to "false".
    If you still want to download the previous release, you can find it here:
    http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/1.1/maemo/
    (Choose your language, for example "en-US" is U.S. English.)

  • FF4 installed, (3 times) but it still looks like 3.6. What happened?

    After upgrading to FF4, and viewing the tutorial, it appears that the only change is that my Yahoo Toolbar has gone away. I do not have the Orange Firefox button in the upper left hand corner, None of the features as described in the tutorials are there. I downloaded and re-installed FF4 3 times, and when I initially open the browser, it is blank, I have to hit the Home button to even get to the default FF homepage. I had problems trying to install the Beta version, and now that you've rolled out FF4, it seems to have way too many glitches, from reading the Q & A section. I am almost afraid that I will lose all my bookmarks, other things if I continue to try to use FF4. I think you rolled this our WAY too soon, without having the bugs fixed.

    Hi, Tony, thenks for your reply. Well, now I have no toolbar, no menu page, and I do not get the new interface. Pressing Alt or F10 does not show the menu bar, I have NO bookmarks, argh! I have tried re-starting Firefoz, rebooting the computer. I am reading all these great reviews of FF4, but I don't seem to be able to get it to work on my machine.

  • Firefox 5 not printing background (colors and images) despit it's selection in Page Setup. Previous version worked fine.

    I upgraded to FireFox 5, but it is not printing background (images and colors) for certain pages which previously printed fine with my earlier version. Print Preview DOES shows the background images, but when sent to printer or PDF, background images do not appear in the printed output.

    I wish it were that but a long time ago when I had a problem with the gadgets with iGoogle back 6 months ago thereabouts I was asked to disable it then and I did and I just went to re-check and it is still not enabled, however, it will not let me un-install it though.. It only gives me an option to enable or disable.. Any advice ? So I'm wondering if it is something else still or is there a problem with the avast still ?
    thanks again for your help. Mind you that this all started when blogger went down ..
    take care

  • After upgrading, Firefox, I can no longer print wirelessly from my IPAD. How do I go back to the previous version?

    Prior to updating Firefox, I had been able to print wirelessly from my IPad to my HP wireless printer.

    The company that make the bioscanner for HP have abandoned it. For more details see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/799388

    Prior to the update, the images displayed fine. They also display on IE.

    See:

    Since everything you did voided your warranty, Apple will at best charge you the out of warranty replacement fee, and offer you a refurbished iPhone of same specs as your own.
    You'll need to take it in and discuss your options with them directly if they wish to offer you any.

  • I just downloaded the 5 version but now my email keeps pulling up old emails that are on my computer. It will take forever to get through all my emails that my computer stores. How do I stop this so I only receive new emails?

    IS there a on/off that stops old emails from coming through on my Iphone? Everytime I click on my email it uploads another 50 old emails from my computer. Maybe the PUSH?

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
