I just updated to the latest version of firefox yesterday. Since then,the browser has been very slow & unresponsive. When I go to tools 2 clear recent history it takes forever and then sometimes freezes. The old version worked perfectly and was very fast

Should I just go back to the old version of firefox? my OS is windows 7

Unfortunately it can not be recommended that you go back to firefox 6, some of the fixes were security fixes, and firefox 6 is no longer considered secure or supported. ( Firefox 3.6.23 was updated and is still temporarily supported, but I doubt many would consider downgrading that far)
* see [[installing a previous version of firefox]]
Check that all your extensions are up to date. Possibly it is due to a change in the version or combinations of themes plugins and add-ons that you use. You clearly have out of date plugins showing.

Why does Firefox sometimes still tell me that I have cache to clear in the Advanced tab of the Options menu after I completely clear it using Clear Recent History?

I always have the time range in the Clear Recent History window set to "Everything", too.

While I didn't know about the about:cache page, it doesn't help me understand why Firefox is doing this, and how to fix it. Also, as I said in my question, I already knew about the cache information in the Advanced tab of the Options menu. I was trying to imply that I sometimes have to clear it using both the Clear Recent History feature and in the Advanced tab of the Options menu, because using Clear Recent History doesn't delete it all.

Clearing recent history on Firefox freezes browser.

This is actually a problem and what I did to fix it....
Firefox 25 and Mac OS 10.7 (Lion)
Went to "Clear Recent History" and Firefox stopped responding.
• I had to use COMMAND-OPTION-ESC to quit Firefox
I then went to Firefox preferences-->Privacy-->History
• I changed "Remember History" to "Use custom setting for history"
• I checked the box that said, "Clear history when Firefox closes"
THIS IS WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENED
• Clicking Firefox from my Startup Menu would cause the pointer to spin endlessly
• Again, I had to use COMMAND-OPTION-ESC to quit Firefox
At this point I was worried that I could lose all of my Bookmarks with a clean install,
so I went to the internet and found out I could start Firefox in a "Safe Mode"
Here is what I did to correct the problem....
1) Hold down option and click Firefox from the Startup Menu (Firefox starts in Safe Mode)
2) I then went to Firefox preferences-->Privacy-->History
3) I unchecked the box that said, "Clear history when Firefox closes"
4) I changed "Use custom setting for history" to "Remember History"
5) I closed the Firefox preferences and Quit Firefox
When I restarted the computer all of my Bookmarks had returned :-)

That was very good work. Well Done.
These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your

In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild

After i download web page, the downloads window in firefox 3.6.9 is blank

why is the downloads window in firefox 3.6.9 blank after i download a file or web page? all of my downloads are directed to the "downloads" folder on my desktop [which i selected from ere i placed it]. i've tried many suggestions from contributors, mozilla magazine; and google suggestions.
i selected in "tools, options" to "show" the downloads window when downloading," and elected NOT to close the window when downloads are finished. i cannot find an option to retain downloads in the download window.
i also tried a dozen or more suggestions from mozilla's help page and from forum contributors.
perhaps i'm incapable of accomplishing something that is beyond me.
i do appreciated your advice.

thanks, cor-el.
yes, i checked the setting, and it is set exactly how you suggest.
i remember that, in earlier versions of firefox 3x, the download window always remained open after a download was completed.
in tools/options/general, the setting, "show the dowloads window when downloading a file" is checked. i unchecked the option to close the download window when all downloads are finished.
now, what do i do about the "save files to" window and the "ask me where to save files" options. right now, the "save files to" is set to downloads folder. should i change this setting to "ask me"? or, what?

the problem started when my computer screen broke from something falling on it, the screen was replaced but the people that fixed it for me told me there may be some hard disk issues when a problem like this happens, they ran their own checks and found nothing and i was given my laptop back, then when i tried to use it, i found this problem. everything else works fine.
i have shutdown and re-started my computer multiple times and i have also re-started finder multiple times, both having no effect
i have also done a few other things to find that my apple.com.finder.plist and apple.com.sidebar.plist are both missing, and are not re-creating themselves, i have found no way to bring them back either.
any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Often, Firefox app will close, but the underlying Windows process will not and cannot be stopped via Task Manager. When this happens, Firefox can no longer be used...the system must be rebooted.

Hello,
Often, the Firefox app will close, but the underlying Windows process will not and cannot be stopped via Task Manager. When this happens, Firefox can no longer be used...the system must be rebooted. This happens especially when many apps are running but even though there are plenty of memory resources available.
I have tried to find if something is using Firefox in the background, but have no way to know what that would be.
Their are no apparent viruses detected.
Firefox is version v5.0 and occurred in earlier release.
System is Windows 7 (64bit).

well, it's not the same hardware and it's a bit different.
I managed to pass that stage somehow but I still have a problem
I don't use the built-in creator tool that comes with Spyrus as it doesn't know how to append a pre-staged media that was created by SCCM that should apply the Windows file system to a second partition and the WinPE to the first partition.
I managed to do everything. my only problem is that the WTGCreator that comes with SCCM 2012 R2 creates the 350MB partition with FAT32 file system.
when I boot from the device I get the WinPE, I can choose a task sequence and then it fails when trying to apply the wim file. the error tells me that the 350MB partition is FAT32 which is not supported (even though it chooses the second partition, which
is all the rest of the disk space)
what I did was adding another task that converts the 32 Fat partition to an NTFS partition and then the process continues and finishes successfully! but that's a workaround.
I'm trying to make this process as smooth as possible without having additional steps

adobe starter edition has photo numbers by the picture such as DSCO0283.JPG , where can I find that number on the pictures in PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12--reason being that photoshop elements will not convert my catalog to version 12. If i had that number I could manually rebuild my collections into the photoshop elements 12, but all that i see in photoshop elements is dates and i have multiple pictures from the same dates. HELP! I

finally getting back to this project---adobe starter edition 3.2 is on a windows XP computer
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 is on our Windows 8.1 computer.
error messages--- had to give up trying to convert---I copied all our pictures to our windows 7 laptop and I installed adobe photoshop elements 12 (my bought program)
I wanted to try to convert there first. also I copied our catalog to this computer also. Everything was working fine I could see the collections just as they where on the XP computer.
then I tried to convert on the laptop. I believe the error said something about corrupt file, so I gave up that day. Next day I tried to open ADOBE STARTER EDITION 3.2 and it wanted an unlock code, no such code exists. and my copy of Elements 12 turned into a trial version which has expired. So I am a little hesitant to try to convert on the XP computer and mess up the existing catalog,
unless there is a fool proof way. I have tried manually making collections/ albums on Windows 8.1 and PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 and coping pictures into the new albums. sloooow!!
I probably have about 4500 pictures and 150 collections/ albums to go. So any suggestions would be appreciated.

i downloaded lion but lost the setup assistant. please help me recover the setup assistant. i do not know where/how to find/enter information in the terminal as was suggested.

Launch the Terminal application; e.g., by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search. Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. Confirm.
Reboot. The Setup Assistant will launch.

where can i find a pdf with the dutch version of the manual for lightroom 6

I don't think it's available yet. The English help page has a link to it:
https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/topics.html
But the equivalent page for Netherlands only links to prior versions:

Same for DE, FR, ES. Maybe someone more enlightened knows if they're available somewhere else on Adobe's site.

When minimizing the Firefox window, it totally disappears and can't be maximized again.

After a unknown crash of Firefox, I restarted Firefox.
The button appeared in the tasbar, but the window was never to be found.
Clicking the button didn't help.
I used the windows taskmanager to maximize the window, which worked OK, but.........
When clicking the "size down" button (top right middle button), the window again disappeared and could not be resurrected again in a normal way.
So at the moment I am stuck with a maximaized window, and I can't resize and move it anymore....
Sincerly hope you have a solution....
Best regards,
Lody J. Claessen

* Use Restore or Maximize in the right-click context menu of the Taskbar icon to set focus to the Firefox application if you do not see the Firefox window.
* Open the system menu of that Firefox window via Alt+Space and see if you can move and resize that window (use the keyboard cursor keys).
If that works then first close all other open Firefox windows and then close Firefox via "File > Exit/Quit" to save that setting.
If the above didn't help then see:
