Why does FF newest version not work as a web browser?

I updated to FF version 8 but the browser will not launch. I got an email from FF help telling me to uninstall FF then reinstall. I did this-- still useless. I checked my firewall and that's OK. So then I uninstalled FF 8 and went back to version 3.7 and it works fine. So I'll stay with that till you cut me off, then I'll go to another browser. Too bad, I really like FF but can't get it to work now. How long can I use version 3.7-- it works far better than the new one, at least for me.

Right now (and for quite some time!) the community pages are a real PITA.  Trying to link the two did not bring the nice behavior of the Forums to the Community, but rather brought that stench over here!

Flame on.  I find the community useless.
Click on link, or revisit old address from browser.
Hey nice, I am logged in. 
Click on another link.
Darn, now I am logged out.
Log In.
Now I am at the Community Home page, where the heck was I?
Actually not mad, just indifferent.  I figure in a few months I'll hear that it was fixed and maybe I'll go back there.

  • Why does the newest version not open to the homepage no matter which way you set it up?

    The latest version of Firefox recently installed on my PC. Now, no matter which way I set the home page it does not open to that. I simply get a blank tab. Yes, I have set the page correctly and even told Firefox to open to the home page. It does not work. It will accept the settings, and I have rebooted a few times too. When I click the home icon, it opens the page so I know it is set up correctly.

  • Why does the beta version not work with Norton password verifiaction

    After installing Beta 4 and launching the program the auto fill-in of passwords provided by Norton Security no longer functions. I remove the beta version and launched the older 3.0 version and all worked as it should.

    Norton doesn't support pre-release beta versions of web browsers, and with Firefox it has taken 6 to 8 weeks '''after''' to get their stuff compatible and then fixed & compatible with some Firefox major releases. It's almost like they were surprised by Mozilla releasing a new version of Firefox. It was like they waited until the release and customer's started complaining about the lack of support, before they even started working on their updated version for Firefox.

  • Why does my card reader not work on my iPad since upgrade?

    I use my iPad mini to download photos from my camera when I'm on the road. In the summer I bought the "3 in 1 Card Reader Adapter Cable Camera Connection Kit, 3 Port Card Reader for iPad 4 and iPad Mini by Eurekka" and it worked wonderfully. I was able to download photos (jpg and RAW) directly to the iPad and off the camera, and once home it was a flawless upload to my iMac.
    However, once I upgraded to iOS 7 last week I get a message saying the device is not supported. What gives? Will this be fixed or will Apple products only accept Apple accessories from now on?

    No but I was just trying to find a way in to your help desk. I didn't find 
    your web page very helpful in this regard.

    Why does drag and drop not work?

    Do you mean that when you move files on the Desktop, they don't stay where you put them ?.
    If so - use Finder - View menu - Show View options & choose 'Arrange by' : none
    If not - please describe exactly what the problem is.

    Why does my free trial not work?  This is intentially misleading.

    You need to provide a better description of what isn't working, system info and all that. This could be all sorts of technical issues or your trial could simply have bombed itself. In the latter case there is nothing you can do:
    Adobe trial software expired early
    Anything else like iunstall issues can in most cases be sorted out...

    why does my command c not working?

    Hi,
    In relation to what ?
    Your post has ended up in the iChat Community and does not appear to have anything to do with iChat or Messages.
    My first thought would be have you highlighted something that you want to copy from one place to another ?
    My second would be that you have created a CMD + C custom keystroke and there is conflict with the OS use of this.
    My third would be there just is not enough info to work on

  • Why does the new version not have back-up disc in the library file? And how do I fix it?

    Why does the new version of i-tunes not have back-up to disc in the library file? And how do I fix it?

    Fast backup for iTunes library  (Windows)
    Grab SyncToy  2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time.
    If your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes, regardless of the drive letter or path it appears on.
    Step-by-step guide to using SyncToy.

  • Report Not working in the Web Browser

    Hi ALL ,
    Am working on a item SKU report . The report is running fine in the BIDS but once i try to view the report in the WEB Browser
    tried both Mozilla and Internet Explorer no data is shows up .
    The report has 2 report filter one is on the service and the other one is the item sku its a multi - parameter  that contains
    a list of more than 6000 different SKU . Can the filter be the reason for the report not displaying in the web browser.
    If yes kindly advice me what the workaround for it .
    I tried having the filter in the  SQL main query but it was of no use no data it was showing after having the ssrs report filter
    at least right information its showing but in the BIDS not in the main web browser.
    Kindly Help
    Priya

    Hi Priya,
    According to the description, I understand that there are parameters (@SKU and @SKUlist) in the report, and SKUlist parameter is multi-value parameter. When selecting values of the SKU parameter, the parameter SKUlist will display corresponding values. In this
    case, you should create cascading parameters, right? And you use parameters to filter the report.
    Because the data of the report can be shown in the Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) environment, the issue only occurs after deploying the report to report server. Based on my research, I think it may occur because of web browser issue. I have
    known you use Mozilla and Internet Explorer to view the report but there is still no data.
    In Reporting Services, not all report functionality is supported by all browsers. In this scenario, I suggest you considering the aspects of the setting or third party add-ons of Internet Explorer (IE). You can refer to the steps below:
    1. Click Tools -> Internet options.
    2. Switch to the Security tab, click Local intranet, and then select Default level.
    3. Switch to the Advanced tab, and click Restore advanced settings.
    4. Temporarily disable third party add-ons. For detailed steps, please see the link:

  • Why does my google toolbar not work properly with the new updates. It was such a convenience to use the old toolbar to go to places I had visited before. Now I cannot get those old addresses with anything but Firefox 3.62 or whatever.

    Why does Google Toolbar not work with the newer versions of Firefox.

    Google have stopped supporting Google Toolbar on the latest versions of Firefox. Apparently one of the reasons for this decision is that modern browsers already tend to support many of the functions that google toolbar provides.
    Firefox does allow you to specifically bookmark sites you have chosen, and also automatically remembers many of the sites you visit.

  • Why does my css menu not work on my mobile?

    I have done a fluid layout which appears to work fine on my mobile, but when I try to use the dropdown menu it does not work.
    I have a Nokia C3 by the way - Ancient I know but it uses internet and I don't know whether many people out there will still be using older technology.
    The thing is - I know of one person who has an iphone6 who says it works on his phone, but is there a site where you can submit your own website to test the functionality?
    I apologise for doing this but I have put up a very temporary link to the test site....
    I AM NOT ADVERTISING - but I have put the test site for a friend on my server at the moment on www.tdrd.karoo.net
    Don't bother using the contact form - it's not finished and I've removed code so the person will not get bombarded with test emails from people who just want to fiddle (as they do :-))
    Could anyone else please tell me if the menu works for them and what can I do to get it working on an older phone?
    I have put old style links to same pages at the bottom for backwards compatability but don't know if this is a good idea.
    Should I be testing a device for capability and swapping for an appropriate menu - and if so how?
    So many questions - thank you in advance for any feedback.
    Terry

    No - I do not use a stylus. -
    I have had the phone a few years now and I could be using old technology.
    I know the mobile has two browswers on it.
    One is a lite version of Opera Mini but not sure of the version number
    I know it is working on a windows phone (my brother) and an iphone (friend) so maybe I should somehow be detecting browser capability or functionality somehow and exchange the menu for a link based one in these instances...
    Actually - I have just tried to test it on another site and my phone works on that - so maybe its not script friendly as it uses a .pull script to expand the menu.
    Thank you.

  • Why does the remote app not work with Apple TV 1st gen anymore.

    This is a review I just left on the app store, I am posting it word for word, and i hope that dowsnt complicate anything. My hope is that this finds the right party to address the situation, and if any user has a fix, I would love to hear it.
    I have an Mac mini running iTunes as a server, I have 2 airport expresses to allowing airplay to them for different rooms, and I also have 2 Apple TV first gens... I can play one stream of music from the server, and have the option of playing 2 other streams of music from the apple tv's as they have a built in hard drive to sync music to. I can send any of the feeds to any o the devices in any room and i love it. This whole system used to work flawlessly... It doesn't anymore. The latest update of remote broke what was working so well. I can pull it up and see all 3 music sources, log into each and play music, no problem there. The problem is that when I want to log back into that device, it won't show what music is playing. It loads up to a trackpad... Why do I need a trackpad? the point of a wifi remote is that it interfaces directly with the library, not needing to see the display...  Annoying enough in itself as none of my devices are actually hooked up to a screen, but whatever, annoying point aside, I back out of the trackpad and refresh the device playing music... The music is playing, but won't show on my remote, I can't pause, press next song or anything. I have to start over and pick a song and override the currently playing song. Even the volume control is broken. I used to control each volume of each of the multiple devices individually, they each had a slider in the multiple speaker view, now there is only one master volume slider... One speaker is in my baby's room... If she is sleeping I don't want to have to go into the room to physically adjust that speaker, I want an individual slider like there was before.
    I used to be very happy with this app. I'm not anymore. I used to praise apple and promote the functionality of it to all of my friends. Now I'm just embarrassed when I can't control it when they are over. Embarrassed....
    As another fail.... I want to describe another point. As I have the iTunes server, it should be able to handle multiple things at once. It can to an extent... For example, I can play music from the server to an airplay device, and I can go onto my iMac, load up iTunes, click on shared libraries ad load my entire library from my server. I ca also at the same time take my iPhone, click on music, and again pull up my entire shared library of music from the wifi server... It handles this very well. I recently purchased an Apple TV 3. As it does not have a built in hard drive, it relies on content from a locally attached network or stuff from your iTunes account. So while I can use my iPhone to pull up the entire shared library while its also playing elsewhere, why can Apple TV 3 not?... It's using iOS just like my iPhone. All it was good for was airplay as an extra speaker. It wouldn't work as an extra rendered source of media using the shared library. Needless to say, that Apple TV went back to the store. Fail Apple, Fail.... That was the only reason I bought one. Maybe Apple TV 4 will actually be functional without a hard drive.

    Working fine on my system
    If on wifi, try ethernet
    Make sure router is up to date
    Reboot all components

  • Why does the App Store not work in Genius with VoiceOver switched on

    After I downloaded IOS 6 to my iPhone 4 there were a lot of things not working properly, the main things that were a problem was the App Store, to move anything with VoiceOver switched on it was touch-and then tap twice also to move the thing on the page you use three fingers swipe up or down left or right to move it. We now find that to move something in Charts you only need one finger touchon the left to move it.If Some body can  come up with thee answer it is the People that work in the Accessability side of things at Apple. So if you know in Ireland why Apple cannot put in the info for Accessability for People who are Blind like me we cannot see what is going on we do not change anyof the settings...

    Thank you very much for the reply. That certainly makes sense, as I am sure it is all the Time Machine backups I have that are at the root of the problem. How can I update all those older version Apps deeply embedded within my TM backups, or is the solution to unmount my 2TB drive that I use for TM?
    I suppose if Apple could somehow direct the App Store to disregard all those other apps in TM, the problem would be resolved.
