Why do I get "Connection problem" on my ASUS notebook when I try to access my Yahoo mail account with the new version of Firefox?

Since I updated firefox to 29.0.1 on my desktop, I am unable to access my email account at Yahoo.com from my ASUS notebook. "Connection problem" pops up when it tries to get new mail. I was getting mail on the ASUS on 3/12/13, but starting today I get that message and no new mail comes to the ASUS.

I deleted the account on my ASUS email at settings. The ASUS appeared to delete the Yahoo email account, but when I clicked on the shortcut, my yahoo email had updated and everything looks good.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Why can I not install Yahoo Tool bar with the newer version of Firefox whereas I could with the older one?

I was able to use Yahoo toolbar with the older version of Firefox and now I am not able to, why? Is there a way to allow it?

Looks to me like the latest driver version for this printer is 10.2.1, not 10.3.02...

Just upgraded to firefox 4 and websites are now taking ages to load, there were no problems when I downloaded the upgrade. Is there a fault with the new version of firefox?

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Is Anyone Having Problems with the newer version of Firefox?

I still have my older Mac OsXv10.4 Tiger software. I wasn't exactly happy with Safari browser as it would block many sites and were considered incompatible so I downloaded the free Firefox browser (the 2.0 version) of which I STILL have. I'm aware that there is a much newer version and would like to download that, but I've heard a lot of people saying they have been having severe problems with it, but then they have PCs and not Macs.
So my question is for you Mac users that use Firefox, have you had major problems with the newer version? I'm real hesitant to download if I'm going to have the same problem PC users are having...like constantly crashing. Also would my old Tiger software be compatible? I don't want to upgrade to Leopard.

Yes. I had problems with Firefox 3.5. The primary problem was very slow or never-ending loading of certain websites (particularly secure sites and sites with many features). I also have had similar, but not as bad, problems with Safari 4. I never had these problems with Safari 2 or Firefox 2. It just seems that with each update, the problems increased for me. I have read the Safari and Firefox forums and tried many fixes with little improvement. I have come to the conclusion that there is some kind of compatibility problem between the latest versions of Safari and Firefox and Shockwave Flash and/or Javascript and OS 10.4, particularly on PPC Macs. I expect there are many who will disagree and I cannot argue or prove the point. This is just my opinion. And I recognize that my problems could be caused by my setup and not by the browsers. By the way, I do not use any add-ons with any of my browsers. Anyway, I got tired of dealing with it and installed the latest version of Camino about 2 weeks ago. I also did a clean install of Firefox 3.0.13. Camino is working out great for me. It is simple and it works. No problems at all. So currently I am using Camino as my primary browser and Firefox 3.0.13 as my backup. I hope this helps.

The McAfee site advisor used to work brfore but no longer does with the new version of Firefox. How do I revert to the olderversion or get the McAfee site advisor to work?

The McAfee site advisor used to work before with earlier versions of Firefox but now no longer does since upgrading to the latest version. It still works with Explorer so it a Firefox version compatibility issue with McAfee. The PC runs on Microsoft Vista.

I am sure that it is only their toolbar that is incompatible. To verify that and ask if they currently support Firefox 5 with their add-ons, go to the following address and post your question(s). Changing their toolbars to be compatible with any browser is their responsibility.

Other than the toolbar, the rest of your security application should be working as expected, but you can also ask that question at the above link. Firefox has built-in malware/phishing protection, if that is what is provided by their toolbar, another question that you can ask at the above link.

Why can't I print with the new version of Firefox (4.0)?

My problem has to do with printing web pages, but I am not able to change values in my Print "Properties" tab before printing. When I click to change paper size, orientation, pages to print, # of copies, etc. from the "Properties" tab, I get an error message that reads: "Prop Res DLL not loaded". I have to open Internet Explorer (and I HATE Microsoft) in order to be able to change my print properties and effectively print web pages.

With 3.6 and earlier, one website I use would have a "frame" around thumbnails which would go away once I accessed it. Aftwer 4.0, no frame. Frames still there with IE. Is there a setting where I can get them back with the newer versions of Firefox?

Pretty much what I asked above. Obviously there was a change between 3.6 and 4.0 that is causing this.
These black "frames" around the thumbnails are very handy as they let me know which ones have been accessed and which have not. Once I would click on the thumbnail, the "frame" around it would disappear. I could come back weeks later and tell what had been accessed and what hadn't.
I discovered this problem this spring when I upgraded to 4.0 in my laptop. I kept "nursing" the 3.6 in my desktop as I did not want to lose that feature. The other night I tried to update my 3.6 and, unfortunately, I got force-fed 6.0.
Anyhow, it has to be something you changed when 4.0 was brought out - and has stayed changed in 5.0 and 6.0. As noted above, the frames are still there if I go to the site with Internet Explorer. Sure love to find a way to get this feature back with Firefox!

How can I get my Firefox persona to work with the new version of Firefox?

Everything was working fine, then my computer automatically updated Firefox and my persona background disappeared. It's listed as enabled on the add-ons backgrounds under add-ons manager. I have Foxkeh tail wag. I went and reinstalled it but it still doesn't come on. I went to the firefox personas page and tried to install a different persona. NONE of them work now. How can I get my persona background back?

Fixed! Thank you!

A website that i use quite frequently will not work with the newer versions of firefox. Is there a compatability mode of some way to get the newer version to work?

All the website says is this browser is not supported. Only version 3.5 is. I can list the url because it is a work url

You can install the portable Firefox 3.6.x version to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.

A problem using Flickr with the new version of Firefox.

Before the new upgrade in Firefox, when I went to www.Flickr.com and clicked on "log in", a new window opened up prompting me for password and ID. After I entered them, that window would close and bring me back to the window I clicked "log in" on.
Now, the new window stays open with the first page of Flickr again, leaving me with two exact, logged in pages.

When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings Safari Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is my ipad does not a Private Browsing switch

When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings>Safari>Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is, my ipad does not a Private Browsing switchat this location.

With iOS 7 on the iPad, you turn Private Browsing on and off by tapping the URL field. The screen that opens up has your bookmarks on it. In the bottom left corner is a hot button marked 'PRIVATE'. Tap on the word 'PRIVATE' to turn private browsing on or off. Yeah, there aren't any instructions anywhere that I can find to do this, and if you follow Yahoo's instructions, they don't work. This doesn't happen with the previous Apple OS, and you can restore your iPad to the older OS.

Out of curiosity, some here have recommended renaming an EXE file behind the scenes to eliminate that firewall message when starting up. Are you one of those folks that tried this? My thought is that if so, perhaps this is a result?

I am getting an error that says there is a proxy connection that is unsupported. I have no proxy connection. It happened after I downloaded the new version of firefox.

I downloaded the new version of Firefox. When it was finished installing, I pulled up a new browser. It said something along the lines of "proxy connection error" with nothing other than "try again". I restored the computer to the previous day to counteract the download, and now firefox will not open at all.
It is a HP G600, Vista.

Check the connection settings.
*Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Options+window+-+Advanced+panel
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy" if the default "Use the system proxy settings" setting doesn't work.
