When I upgrade to Firefox 4, are my bookmarks, etc, transfered from Firefox 3?

Hello.
I would like to upgrade to Firefox 4.
Will ALL my information, bookmarks, etc be transferred from Firefox 3.6.17 to Firefox 4?
Thank you for your help.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
* Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
* Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
* Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
* Go to the Media tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
* Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
* If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

When I upgraded to 4.0 it will not show the toolbar "Firefox is not able to show the Toolbar. Please re-install the Toolbar" How do I fix this?

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Criteria or check when we see the error "You are using an older version of firefox"

Criteria or check when we see the error "You are using an older version of firefox that is no longer supported and may be insecure" on sites like facebook. Currently firefox 8.0 does not give this error but 3.5.4 does. What is the check performed by sites for this error?

Most web sites use the User Agent, which is sent in the header of the request for delivering the page. The user agent of the browser you used to post here is 
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0

I followed the instructions to copy and paste ALL profile files from old PowerBook to new MacBook Pro, so why are no bookmarks now shown in Firefox?

From the page
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile#w_copying-files-between-profile-folders
After dragging and dropping the profile folder from the old PowerBook to the new MacBook Pro, I followed the copy/paste instructions, apparently successfully, to replace all the files in the latter with all the files in the former -- essentially to transfer my Firefox browser functionality from the old computer to the new. However, on starting Firefox, I have ZERO bookmarks (in other words, Firefox looks like it did when I downloaded and installed it a couple days ago). One note: When I performed the operation, I had used the new version of Firefox almost not at all, yet in the course of copying and pasting I had to permit replacement of HUNDREDS of bookmark files with identical names. How could THIS be?!?

It is normally best to only restore personal data that you really need (bookmarks, passwords, etc.) and not a full profile folder.
The xxxx in the name of the JSON backup (bookmarks-####-##-##_xxxx_$$$$.jsonlz4) denotes the number of bookmarks in the file and a file hash ($$$$) is appended to check if it is necessary to save a new backup, so only if there is a different hash because bookmarks were modified then a new backup is created.
If you remove the newer backups that were created before you restored the backup and only leave the bookmark backups from the saved profile then Firefox should rebuild the bookmarks when you remove all the places files.

I'm using Firefox on a Windows 7 OS, and I want to know how to disable the small window that appears when I hover my mouse over a tab, bookmark, etc.

Okay, so when I'm using Firefox, say I have multiple window open, I hover my mouse over a window's panel at the bottom of the screen and a small box appears telling me about the webpage on that panel. The same thing occurs when I hover over a tab or a bookmark, it's very annoying and frequently blocks my cursor when I'm trying to work. How can I disable this feature?

I do not use Adobe Reader, but use Foxit Reader in its place, and had the same problem. In Foxit Reader, I right-clicked in the area at the top where you would expect the toolbar to be (it was a blank area immediately above the displayed PDF file), and chose which toolbars to display and that has "stuck" and I still see the Foxit toolbars when I load a PDF file after system shutdown overnight. The only problem is that the area where you would expect the toolbars is still there and blank, but the toolbars that I selected appear immediately below that blank area. See if that works in Adobe Reader for you.

How come I can't click and drag anything (tabs, bookmarks, etc.) in Firefox anymore?

Windows 7 - I can no longer click and drag anything anymore. Attempting to click and move a tab simply selects the tab. Doing the same thing to a bookmark just selects the bookmark. In addition, Firefox is now hanging every few minutes for anywhere from a few seconds to a minute.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no effect.

Hi kabooki108,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
You could also try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=create+a+new+profile&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_creating-a-profile Creating a new profile].
Hopefully this helps!

Why are Network Settings not Transferring from a Master DMG to the Desitination

Hi people,
can anyone assist me with finding out why Network Settings are NOT transferred from a source Master HD to a DMG to a Destination HD.
I have many hours spent trying to debug this - any pointers to a solution would be greatly appreciated.
Background:
I administer about 400 Macs of mixed types / generations (iMacs - MacBooks - MacBook Pro's).
We create master setups for different locations / purposes around the Campus and transfer these masters to DMGs.
We then clone the various macs as needed from these DMGs using a variety of methods including local (FW800 - USB) and network transfers.
The newest master (staffHD at 10-8-2) works perfectly but trying to clone / copy it by any method leaves out the custom network settings and you only end up with the default Wi-Fi / Ethernet / Firewire with total loss of the additional services and custom proxy settings.
Methods used to date to try the transfer (all get the same null result)
to-from DMG using Disk Utility
to-from Sparse Image via Disk Utility
to-from DMG using Carbon Copy Cloner
to-from Sparse Image via Carbon Copy Cloner
direct to 'target disk' via FW800 using Disk Utility
direct to 'target disk via FW800 using Carbon Copy Cloner
direct to 'target disk via FW800 using rsync -aHv
direct to 'target disk via FW800 using cp -Rv
Everything BUT the network settings transfer perfectly (excluding of course the usual trackpad / mouse custom settings).
I guess something is wrong with this master source but for the life of me I can't work it out. I have seen it in the past but it seemed to work itself out with the next revision - this one just wont.
HELP!
Have a Great day!
pete

Hi Linc,
thanks for the reply - I suspected a hardware issue or some sort of privledges problem, but as far as I know have only had this problem with Mountain Lion, and it still fails on hardware like to like transfers. I was hoping to avoid needing anything addidtional but it looks like I'll have to.
Have a Great day!

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.

FIrefox hangs up when opening myyahoo and other websites. I have no hang up when I open sites in Explorer. Can I delete and reload Firefox without losing my bookmarks, etc.?

When I say it hangs up I mean that the pages open almost 100% but the green loading bars at the bottom of the page hang up at the last two green bars for 5 to 10 seconds or more before the page is 100% loaded. This occurs with all sites I open with Firefox. I have no delay at all when opening these same pages with Explorer.

I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.

Have Firefox & Bing and when I open Firefox I get Ref A and string of characters; then when I get to Bing, no toolbar with bookmarks, etc or way to access mail.

I made Bing my browser and it was working fine until today. When I open Firefox I get a message Ref A: and then a long string of characters. I click on the home icon and the string changes. After doing this several times I get the Bing search page. I do not get the Firefox start page with the tool bar that has my book marks, history etc. I cannot clear the cache if I cannot not get the history tab. If I go the the mozilla firefox program folder and open it, there is a tool bar but cannot clear recent history, etc. there. I do not have an administrator & password on my home desk top; it is just me. I tried to follow your suggestions, but they do not apply to my situation. I really don't know if this is a firefox or bing problem. I used google before bing and had no problems; just wanted to try bing.

Unable to open messages in Hotmail. Why are there no status reports from Firefoxs response to this problem?

When I log on to my Hotmail account, unable to get any folders messages to open? Been going on for two weeks or more.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I am not able to see the SOFM Object in the container itself. Also there are no values in AttachObjects.
Does this have anything to do in the workflow end? The attachments are coming from the portal. Does anything have to be set in the WF to set this.
Does any code have to be written in the WF to get the attachment from the portal...kindly let me know.
Thanks in advance for all the help.

Why in Firefox 9 are many bookmark icons missing? (Mac OSX Leopard)

After the 9.0 update most all of the icons in the bookmarks lists disappeared. Others have a dotted line box in place of solid box. What gives?

Hi unclesuds,
You should take a look at [https://support.mozilla.org/kb/latest-firefox-issues#os=mac&browser=fx9 this article] that discusses some of the issues with the latest build of Firefox.
There is some information in there that should help you to resolve your issue. Luckily, it is a very easy fix.
Hopefully this helps!

Firefox menus (right click, bookmark, etc) load REALLY slow

System Info:
Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit.
Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.53 GHZ
6 gig memory
Intel SSD 320 series
Progressively for the past few years, FireFox has gotten slower and slower for me. Not actually the browsing, but the menus. It now takes ~3 seconds to load up the right click menu, or the "FireFox" menu at the top left, or book marks.
History, Cache, Cookies have all been deleted. All extensions and plugins disabled. If I disable all start up home pages.
It still does responds the same
When I reinstalled Windows ~2 months ago when I got the SSD drive (it was a clean install) the behavior is there immediately upon installing.
This is driving me more and more crazy and I am about ready to give up on FireFox!
Anybody know what is going on and how to fix it?

Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Trouble uploading bookmarks to icloud from firefox

I'm having trouble using icloud to sync my PC firefox bookmarks to my ipad safari. I've got the firefox extension loaded. On the pc I've logged in to the icloud and checked the box for bookmarks to be stored in icloud. When I click apply it doesn't seem to upload anything to the cloud. The few ipad bookmarks I had were wiped out as I think it synced with the empty icloud. Suggestions are much appreciated.
