When I upgraded my firefox I lost my freecorder 4 toolbar. How do I get it back?

I received notice to upgrade my fire fox and when I did and my computer rebooted I noticed I had lost my tool bar for my freecorder 4. How do I get that back?

When I upgraded to Firefox 7 I lost my ability to scroll using my ultraNav Track Point or my UltraNav Touch Pad on my Lenovo Thinkpad.

When I upgraded to Firefox 7 I lost my ability to scroll using my ultraNav Track Point or my UltraNav Touch Pad on my Lenovo Thinkpad. I can still scroll on Internet Explorer or in other applications. How do I fix this?
Thanks,

Thank you for a super fast and helpful response!
It took me a few attempts to get it right. Last time I tried it I got the card id wrong.
For others: I created the following file
/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
with the contents
options snd-hda-intel id=Generic1 index=1
I rebooted. I accepted the KDE prompt about devices being removed. I unmuted everything with alsamixer again.
Sound now works in VLC (audio settings to default) and Firefox, and also in both at the same time. Kmix also works as expected when I set the Master Channel to HD Audio Generic. Headphones jack also works.

I upgraded from v3 to v6. Firefox Sync lost hundreds of my bookmarks - it kept all the organised ones, but lost all the unsorteds. I'm now facing an inquiry at work, and could cheerfully kill Mozilla. However, is there any way to fix this?

I did read what you posted, and will point out once more - the organised bookmarks were kept, the unsorted - the majority - were lost. I tried accessing them THROUGH sync as I couldn't find them before I started sync and thought that might help. Really didn't. Sync was only loaded with version 6, never used it on 3. Updated from 3 to 6; tried to find bookmarks. All unsorted ones GONE. accessed sync; no bookmarks. went back to three. never shifting again, version 6 is a quick trip to hell. Should have known not to trust the program to preserve bookmarks, blame myself for being so bloody stupid to trust it to keep my information safe. Moral: always save multiple backups.

What happened to the tabs that said "this site is safe" and "notify us" when I upgraded to Firefox 5.0?

When I upgraded to Firefox 5.0 a couple days ago, the toolbar that included the sunburst security symbol followed by "this site is safe" and "notify us" disappeared. I also had cut, copy, past and print icons on that toolbar, and they also disappeared. The same thing happened after the previous upgrade, but I discovered the lost toolbar hidden behind the "Home - Welcome to Centurylink" tab just under the menu toolbar. All I had to do to get it back was click on the down arrow after the word "Centurylink" (Centurylink is my Internet provider) . After the last upgrade that down arrow is no longer there.
My computer is an Ultra Horizon X433, Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 2.5GHZ 4M 1333 processor. OS is Windows XP Pro

It sounds as though one of your add-on toolbars was not labeled as compatible with Firefox 5. You can check for disabled add-ons here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons
Try the Extensions category, the lower list of grayed out items.
If Firefox disabled some add-ons (especially extensions), it likely is because they include a list of compatible Firefox versions and haven't yet been updated for Firefox 5. If they worked on Firefox 4, there is a very good chance they will work on Firefox 5.
You can force Firefox to ''ignore'' add-on version restrictions by (what else) installing an add-on. Then you can test whether the add-ons important to you actually work in Firefox 5.

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 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.

When I upgraded to Firefox 4.0 I saw a message that said the new version was no longer compatble with CLIPMATE. What can I do now? Are there similar clipping extensions?

I named the wrong program. It should be CLIPMARKS, sorry.

I received a message to upgrade my Firefox , when I upgraded to Firefox 6.0.2 it says (The proxy server is refusing connections .) I had a copy of Firefox 3.5.5, which works fine.

When i upgraded to mavericks I lost my microsoft office

I had office :mac 2011 and when I upgraded to Mavericks it lost my connection with my windows which I use the most. Now it wants me to enter my purchase product key. I have no idea where that is so now what do I do?

Regardless of the means by which you purchased Office, it's Microsoft's product and Microsoft holds the keys to it (literally). Contact them.
Office 365 is a subscription-based product for which recurring fees must be paid. If you find that Microsoft's licensing requirements make their products inconvenient to use, I recommend that you avail yourself of any number of better alternatives. Some are free, others are nearly so.
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice ($30 but older version is free if you can find it)
OpenOffice (donation-supported)
Numbers, Keynote, Pages - all free with the purchase of a new Mac, $19.99 otherwise. They are designed to integrate with iCloud and complement their iOS versions, also free with the purchase of an iOS device.
All of them read and write their Microsoft equivalent file formats. They require no license keys nor are recurring fees assessed for their continued use.

Lost all my important bookmarks when I upgraded to Firefox 4. I want the old Firefox AND my bookmarks back!!!

I just upgraded to Firefox 4 and in the process lost all my important bookmarks. Not acceptable!! How do I get the old version of Firefox back including ALL my old bookmarks?

This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

1-Click Weather worked when I upgraded to Firefox 4 and now it's suddenly uncompatible.

I upgraded to Firefox 4 two days ago. I've used the 1-Click Weather extension for years and it worked fine with Firefox 4 up until about 10:00 this morning. Then it disappeared from my toolbar and, when I went to the addon manager I was told that it's incompatible with Firefox 4. So how come it worked for the last two days?

The problem seems to be linked to restarting. What happens is that if you right click on the addon and select "Find Updates" it finds an update and asks you to restart. Even if you close the browser and reopen it, it won't work - you need to click on the restart link in the addons pane. It then works for that session, but if you close the browser and reopen it, the problem starts over and the addon is marked as incompatible. For whatever reason the install doesn't seem permanent.
This is happening on multiple computers, but just in case anyone finds a correlation, other addons I have include (all of them at latest versions):
Tree Style Tab,
Colorzilla,
Firebug,
Web Developer,
FireFTP,
Read It Later,
Tab Counter
I also have two other incompatible addons: Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.0 and Delicious Bookmarks 2.1.106

What is a SIMPLE way I can get rid of the Bing toolbar that installed when I upgraded to Firefox 12?

I felt forced to upgrade to Firefox 12 a week or so ago because Firefox warned it would do it anyway. I most unhappy with the fact that when I type in a URL, it is in a Bing rather than Google search box. I did change the search box at the right back to Google, but I am stuck with Bing when I type in a URL and click on it. I find no Bing indicated in my Programs to uninstall on my computer. I can't override by installing Google toolbar again (my preference) because supposedly it's no longer compatible. :-(
What to do?

Do you mean searching via the location bar or via the about:home default Home page?
Try:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
If it is a problem with the about:home page then try to reset the search engine used on the about:home page.
Reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
* Open the about:config page via the location bar
* Type in the Filter bar: mstone
* Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
* Close and restart Firefox
If that didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.

After i install firefox 6 what will gonna happen to my orbit downloder V4.1.0.2 ?am i still able to download through orbit?last time when i upgrade to firefox 5 my orbit did not worked. thanks

last time i had older version of orbit downloder, so when i uupgrade my firefox to firefox 5.the orbit downloder grab ++ did not work.
i mean before i was able to download video when i browse with firefox 4. after upgrading it i could not do it.
now i have the ORBIT DOWNLODER latest version V 4.1.0.2
my question is if i upgrade to Firefox 6, this orbit downloder grab ++ will it work or will it crash?
so i'm afraid of upgrade to firefox 6.
thanks

thx ,lot! appreciate!i think the same as you. FF should stay on same platform for a while until others approaching to the same platform ,
FF should understand this issue seriously.

Cannot install "plugin/extension name" because Firefox cannot modify the needed file. This is happening for any and every kind of plugin theme you could think of. This started when I upgraded to Firefox 11 just now.

I just upgraded to Firefox 11.0 (unwillingly) and I get the following whenever I try to install ANYTHING at all. Themes, add-ons...it doesn't matter, the result is the same.
"Cannot install "plugin name here" because Firefox cannot modify the needed file.
If the fix requires installing a plugin...well, that's not going to work obviously.
Anybody know how to fix this?

You shouldn't see such an error. 
That error usually indicates that an extension or dictionary needs to be unpacked to make it work.
Firefox 4 and later no longer unpacks an extension automatically, but renames the XPI file to the ID of the extension and copies that file to the extensions folder in the Firefox Profile Folder.
If an extension needs to be unpacked then there should be an unpack directive (<nowiki><em:unpack>true</em:unpack></nowiki>) in the install.rdf file of that extension
You can try to set the Boolean pref extensions.alwaysUnpack to true on the about:config page.
