When upgrade from an older firefox version where an existing plugin was ready enabled, would this plugin become "ask to activate" after upgrade to v26?

What's the user experience if he/she upgrade from an older version of Firefox, where an existing plugin was ready enabled, would this plugin become "ask to activate" after the user upgrade to Firefox v26?

If plugins.click_to_play was set to true, it might. I am finding that click-to-play is not working very well with Firefox. Whether the plugins are set to Always Activate or Ask to Activate, it allows everything from a website to load once it is allowed from the icon in the address bar. I also have the extension Click to play per-element, and that seems to make no difference.

Can I retrieve bookmarks from an older Firefox version to insert them into the current version? I was running Mac OS 10.4?(Tiger) but upgraded to 10.6.8; then I loaded Firefox 9.0.1 & discovered that I'd lost my bookmarks.Help please.

The OS upgrade was done by a technician so no issues there. I uploaded the current Firefox without saving my old bookmarks. I remember now that previous FF upgrades progressed without bookmark problems. Is the current problem to do with the new OS? Not certain of the correct OS number but it was Tiger; also not certain of the correct FF number but it was the most appropriate one for Tiger. Again, please help.
Thanks very much.

Not unless they were saved somewhere on your computer. You can check the Time Machine if that storage has been used and wasn't reset as well.

Rendering a website in older firefox version

Hi,
I'm a web developer who has just recently started using Firefox again after a two year leave. I'm pretty impressed with version 8 and have started doing some development work however I need to test some pages in older versions of Firefox since my visitors still use versions <8. Is there any options that allow me to specify which version of Firefox I'd like to render the page in? There are a number of CSS styles that I need to test in both version 7 and 8.

No, Firefox doesn't have a compatibility mode to view pages with older Firefox versions.<br />
You will have to install additional Firefox versions if you want to test websites with that other version.<br />
IE doesn't allow to install multiple versions, but with Firefox there is no such problem.
Do a custom install and install each version in its own program folder to use multiple Firefox versions.

My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Android Incredible 2 cell phone and I can not transfer my photos from my cell phoen to my Mac. I was able to do this in the past, but can no longer do so. i havenot upgraded to any new software.

My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Android Incrdible 2 cell phone and therefore I can not transfer any photos from my cell phone to my Mac. I was able to do this in the past, but can not do so now. I have not upgraded to any new software. My USB cable is plugged in properly and I just get an error message -- "No Android Device Found". What could be the problem?

I had the same issue with the Galaxy S4 trying to see what the hype was about and was my first and last android phone. With that being said unfortunately it is a hit or miss with the Mac recognizing an android device or not. It worked perfectly fine the first time around and then it stopped working for no apparent reason. Through trial and error nothing I did solved the issue. I did however plug it in my Mac and left it connected for about 30-40 min to charge for a bit and all of the sudden it recognizes the phone. So I just launched Android File Transfer and everything else became fluid after that. I have no explanation as to why it happened that way, but what I gathered from this is maybe you just have to let it sit for a minute while plugged in before the Mac recognizes it, after all they are opposing software. On a side note this is why I will always be an apple user, Iphones and the like never have this problem

When you quit firefox with tabs and windows open it "remembers". When you start Firefox it tries to restore the tabs and windows you had open.
You may also want to check the preferences for Firefox:

How do I move bookmarks, cookies, history and settings from an old Firefox version to my new one

I have the previous version of my Firefox from an old computer now located on my C drive. I would like to move the bookmarks, cookies, history and settings to my new Firefox (it is an upgraded version on my new computer). When I click on the File drop down, the import section can not be opened because it is not active. I have dozens of bookmarks that I would like to have loaded in my new Firefox application. I would also like to have my passwords moved to the new Foxfire application. How do I get that to happen?

I replaced my hard drive and used time machine to boot from but it installedthe unrepaired disk permissions of the faulty previous drive would this cause problems on my new drive?

I replaced my hard drive on macbook pro and used time machine to boot from but it also installed the unrepaired disk permmissions of the other drive, would this cause problems to my new drive?

Can you remember what the permissions problem was that you had before? You may need to reinstall OS X from scratch and not reinstall anything from your Time Machine backups. To be on the safe side you should reinstall all third-party applications from scratch, as well. Then only restore from your backup your document/data files.

Where do I get 64bit firefox builds? where do I get older firefox versions?

This is really frustrating.
After installing Iceweasel 20 from my distribution it no longer restores previous session on startup.
My distribution no longer carries firefox 18 which was the previous version. It carries a version of iceweasel 10 which does not have this problem.
Sure, the problem is not reproducible with fresh profile but I do not want a damn empty profile. I want my history.
And downloading 64bit version or older version of firefox from mozilla.com is near impossible. No links are provided. You can at best try random URLs in the hope you find one that leads somewhere.

And where *are* those supported Linux 64 bit builds?
And older releases?
The download page offers just "Linux"

I lost my bookmarks from my previous Firefox version with the Yosemite upgrade

When I upgraded to Yosemite on my Mac, I lost all my previous Firefox bookmarks. I have tried to look through the help sections and can't fix this problem. All my bookmark toolbar tabs were incorrect as well, but I was able to replace them. I may have accidentally hit the wrong button in a window that asked about importing things from a brower, and I may have selcecd Safari, but there was no option for Firefox and I wasn't sure what to do. The bookmarks that I have now, are very old from long ago and I lost all the ones I've saved over the years. Can I get them back and how do I do that? Please help...many important sites are lost.

Could you try a Spotlight search (or whatever it's called now), including system files, for a folder named bookmarkbackups or a file named places.sqlite? Maybe you can find your old bookmark backup files in a folder that Firefox is not checking.

How do I get back features from older Firefox versions?

Some features of older version FF are gone from FF 4.0.
3 I particularly miss:
(1) Percentage bar in upper left corner page of Inbox messages. GONE!
(2) I could click on arrow on right side panel (annoying ads) and hide said panel and widen my Inbox message area. This useful feature now GONE!
(3) Most important of all I could click on an e-mail picture file and preview thumbnail of photo before downloading it. Someone in their wisdom decided that that wasn't useful or timesaving; now that's GONE!
My question is are there any plug-ins or add-ons available to get these features back in Version 4.o?
If so, I'd like specific instructions on how to do this.

I know that Firefox doesn't do e-mail, but I view my e-mail through SmartZone which I access through Firefox browser.
If there is a way to view messages in SmartZone without going through either Firefox or Internet Explorer I'd love to know about it.
Thanks.
