While downloading the new firefox, the download will stop and say that it could be harmful to my computer, that it is not commonlly downloaded or something?

do not have details. can you help or not!

That is usually a standard response from Windows if you download a file from internet that isn't signed digitally. You should be able to save the file to a folder on the computer.

When I try to download the new firefox the box that pops up says "you have chosed to open Firefox setup 4.0... etc. then it only has an option to save file or cancel. There's no option to "run" or "open"... ??

I can't seem to download the new version

Click on Save File. Then click on the Tools menu at the top of the page and click on Downloads. When the file finishes downloading, double click it to being the installation.

In the new firefox, the encryption tab in advanced settings is gone. where is it?

I updated my firefox, and suddenly the encryption tab which is in tools, options, advanced settings, is now gone, and there is another tab named "certificates" instead. Where has it moved to?

Yah, except with the new NSA revelations I want to set and/or verify my levels of encryption as I have in the past. Removing all encryption information leaves us all hanging. SSL 3.0 and TSL 1.0 should be on for everyone while SSL 2.0 needs to be off forever. Is this the case? How would I know?
So, no, calling users morons (after reading the blog on this topic) and making a feature available for a purportedly 'only 2%' of users who care is not a sufficient argument. If Mozilla is truly committed to not working with the NSA, then encryption should be identified for all users of Firefox instead of completely hidden from view.
Guess I'll be searching through older versions of Firefox....sigh

Since I upgraded to the new Firefox, the Chat on Yahoo no longer works.

I upgraded to the newest Firefox for my Dell computer with Windows 7.
When I went to use the chat section of my Yahoo email page...the chat section will NOT work.
When I went back to the Explorer (instead of Firefox)..it works fine.
The new upgrade did something to the upgrade of Firefox.

Hi,
Please try changing the '''Options''' > '''Messenger Options''' > '''General''' between Small Window and Tab in Yahoo. The Tab setting opens the chat window in a new tab on the right side of the last tab. Also try a '''Ctrl''' + '''F5''' refresh if necessary.
Please also [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014 see this.]

What happened to the ability to bookmark multiple tabs in one click? As far as I can tell, the new Firefox has dropped this option and now forces you to create a folder, individually bookmark every page and organize the bookmarks yourself.

Clean install of Firefox on clean install of Win7 x86. Previous bookmarks lost due to hdd crash. Trying to configure Firefox 4 like my previous Firefox 3 and finding it difficult. This was my favorite feature of the previous Firefox and I'm dismayed that it's either gone or well-hidden.

Some menu entries are hidden by default and only show up if you use the keyboard to open the menu. Bookmark All Tabs is one of them and you see that entry if you use Alt + B to open the Bookmarks menu. You can see the same if you use Alt + F to open the File menu instead of pressing Alt and click the menu entry.

I have the new Air Port Extreeme model A1521 and I need to set up port forwarding for HTTP. HTTP is not on the list in the set up. Does anyone know if any of those choices work for HTTP?

I am on a Windows 7 Ultimate PC and right now there is no Airport utility for setting up the new Apple Extreme so you have to do it on your iPad or iPhone. Does anyone know how to set up port forwarding for HTTP to get to DVR security cameras? There is nothing in the list that indicates HTTP port forwarding.

Thanks for your reply Tesserax as I did figure this out on my own. It took a bit because all of the options are not clear what they are for like the previous Airport Extreme and Apple does not support or guarantee that port forwarding will work for you application nor did any of the Apple support persons I spoke too have any knowledge for this feature. You also have to fill in the public if you are viewing through someone else's Wi-Fi or on your cell phone carrier network. This new Airport Extreme is a bit different since you cannot use the Airport utility on a PC like the older model and if anyone else is reading this they should be aware that if you do not have an Apple computer, iPhone or iPad and I'm not sure if some of the other network enabled devices like iPod Touch that you must use that can do it, there is no Airport utility for the PC and you would be wasting your money or have to take it back and get another brand wireless router to use if you do not own any of the above mentioned Apple products.

I can't download LIon OS. It's just stopped and says "waiting."

I was downloading OS X Lion and it started up after clicking the pause button a few times. Then it stopped and said "Waiting." I restarted my computer and clicked on purchase in the App Store and got the above messayge. I don't believe that a download should take 16 days. I have been clicking on the pause button but it doesn't change anything. It keeps the 16 days or gives me "Waiting" as shown below.
I am so frustrated. What should I do?

Try this
First disconnect your WiFi and if your downloads fails, so that you can remove it and download again from purchased history.
If it doesn't work, go to application folder try locating lion.app and delete it completely out of system and try downloading again.

Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, the web sites pictures aren't clear. What can I do to adjust this?

Pictures are not clear as they were when I used an older version of Firefox.

If I upgrade to the new Firefox 5.0, will I be able to still have access to the Norton toolbar?

When I downloaded the last version of Firefox (I believe 4.0) I lost my Norton toolbar and had to recover it using a work around from Norton. I was just wondering if the two were now immediately compatible or if there were going to be issues with this again. It was just very difficult to get it taken care of last time and I do not want to go through that again; but would like to be able to always have the most current Firefox available.

Greasemonky causes the new Firefox 4 to bog down and eventually comatize.

This is a new problem with Firefox 4; was not happening before.
I'm using Greasemonkey at Facebook in the Castle Age game. If I enable Greasemonkey, my system slowly degrades until I have to logout, if I can.
Seems to be no problem if I do not enable Greasemonkey.

You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
You should still have your profile folder, so when you install 3. you will get your bookmarks and other user data back.
There is a third party version of Firefox that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

Office for the Mac is not an Apple product. However, some freezes may be due to latent system issues.

The green forward and back arrows under File and Edit disappeared after I downloaded the new Firefox Toolbar. How do get them back?

The green arrows for page forward or back at the top left under File and Edit disappeared after I downloaded the new Firefox toolbar (for 3.6) and were replaced by Most Visited, Getting Started and Latest headlines Icons, which I have little use for. How do I get the Original Toolbar back?

Is the Navigation Toolbar not being displayed? See below.
'''Can't see the Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)?
Turning the Menu Bar on and off is a new feature in version 3.6.
''(~~red:Linux & OSX see~~: [[Menu bar is missing]] )''
''Windows'' Method 1. '''''Hold down''''' the key and press the following letters in this exact order: V T M then release the key
''Windows'' Method 2. Tap the F10 key, while the Menu bar is visible, choose "View > Toolbars", click "Menu Bar" so that a check mark is placed next to Menu Bar
''Windows'' Method 3. Tap and release the key. The Menu Bar will be displayed; then choose ~~red:V~~iew > ~~red:T~~oolbars and click on ~~red:M~~enu Bar so that a check mark is placed next to Menu Bar
The Menu Bar should now be displayed permanently, unless you turn it off again using View > Toolbars. Check mark = displayed, NO check mark = not displayed.

I am on my mac and have os x yosemite. i am trying to install adobe premiere elements 10, but every time it starts downloading it stops and says it encounter 8 errors?

i am on my mac and have os x yosemite. i am trying to install adobe premiere elements 10, but every time it starts downloading it stops and says it encounter 8 errors?

you mean when it starts installing (not downloading), you see errors?
if yes, attach a screenshot of the errors.

Sometimes when listening to music or a podcast, it will stop and start in rapid fire. I have a 4th gen iPod Touch.

Sometimes when listening to music or a podcast, it will stop and start in rapid fire. I have a 4th gen iPod Touch. A Genius suggested something went wrong during the transfer from my MBP to my iPod, but I tried resyncing it, and it seems to happen haphazardly. Even if a podcast plays oddly one time, it might play perfect the next - so it can't have been the sync that went bad.

- First try a reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next restore from backup
- The restore to factory defaults/new iPod

Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try.

Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try. The tab will show the website destination in the navigation bar, but will not automatically load it; I have to press the load button in the navigation bar instead of it instantly loading.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== The newest version, 3.6.6, of Firefox was downloaded

It's not specific sites. I can middle-click on the same link 50 times and it will open it in a new tab 45 times and 5 of those times, it will randomly open it in an entirely new window. I don't know what's causing this.
It happens so randomly that I don't know how to pin-point what it could be.

While downloading the new firefox, the download will stop and say that it could be harmful to my computer, that it is not commonlly downloaded or something?
