WHY does firefox come up when I had a attack on my pc as the sender?

while on Facebook and trying to view uploaded video...my NORTON blocked several attacks ,when I checked who was sending viruses (x6), I discovered that the IP matched Firefox as the sender...I find this to be unfair as well as preposterous and a bully orientated ,indigent ,crooked act of illegal mischief ... a clear act that may cause legal action to be implemented if this continues.
Firefox should not break laws to bully-in requests to upgrade in a robotic way.
If this continues I will file an action in court resulting in millions of dollars worth of changes and monetary losses.
thank you.

Firefox the web browser (from mozilla.org) nor Mozilla will NOT send any form or viruses, malware or toolbars into Firefox as it would hurt Mozilla far too much for any little gain.
You seem to have the current Release Firefox 30.0 so there should be no more updates until Firefox 31.0 unless a chemspill update (30.0.1) was warranted in meantime for security and or stability fixes.
So you are considering filing a lawasuit for Firefox prompting you for a Firefox update?.
There are other reasons for connections like say looking updates for any Extensions and Themes you have installed, updates to a blocklist for Extensions and other safe things like mentioned at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Connections_established_on_startup_-_Firefox

  • Why does it come white when i take a picture on my Iphone4s? it's new, I bought it before 2 weeks ago. what can I do?

    why does it come white when i take a picture on my Iphone4s? it is not all of the pictures which becomes white, but some of them and it is not because i used flash. the phone is new as well , I bought it before 2 weeks ago. what can I do? please need help.

    First step in troubleshooting is to reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Why does firefox go crazy when I try to email from a website?

    When I want to contact, say, customer service of a company and I use their email "form" on their website Firefox goes insane
    and opens 100 plus tabs and blinks, going so fast that I can't possibly shut down all of the tabs because it's making more
    than I can keep up with. This happens EVERY time I try to email from any other place rather than my personal provider. It's just
    Firefox that does this, not IE. I have to shut everything down, which means that whatever I'm working on gets lost. I'm about
    ready to dump Firefox. Can you stop this for me? I'm using Windows 7, IE 9. Cache is clean and no virus found

    You get tabs opening endlessly if you select the Firefox program to handle a file when you get an "Open with" dialog.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+keeps+opening+many+tabs+or+windows
    You can rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

  • Why does firefox change fonts when I am trying to download or get help, click and enter keys are disabled why?

    I recently did a clean install of windows7 after returning from Europe and installed Mozilla firefox being fed up with microsoft and google .
    Fire fox seemed to be working ok but 7 out of 10 downloads were failing, and it seemed that every ebsite entered in the address bar turned into a question.
    There was no save shortcut, or paste buttons just a set of to me useless buttons first html, last html, then when I tried to contact help all of a sudden I got a "install fonts" notice and the enter key stopped working,
    and any action key was also disabled without advising me.
    It appears that either Mozilla or someone doesn't want me using firefox.
    I also noticed that the clean disk and other utilities didn't work and that the temp and temp internet folders were empty when I tried to open them but they actually had some 25 megabytes in them when queried as administrator. I also noticed a quick flash reference to Jscript=void,
    and my 32 bit computer suddenly started up as a 64 bit Turion.
    scan and system clean said machine was clean.
    Whats going on here?
    I am not on my machine, I can't contact you on it because the enter button has been disabled by font change.
    Maybe this robot needs some help too!

    Can you undo the system restore?
    Note that using System Restore can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because not all files are restored (only files in a white-list), so be cautious with using System Restore.
    *You may lose data in the Firefox profile folder like .js and .ini files pr profiles.ini can be affected.
    *You may need to (re)install software that was affected.
    In case you need to reinstall Firefox then you need to delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling to make sure that all files get replaced.
    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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 and the updater process.

  • Why does Firefox keep crashing when I use it on my Dell Precision computer w/XP operating system?

    Well, this is embarrassing.
    Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
    You can try:
    Removing one or more tabs that you think may be causing the problem
    Starting an entirely new browsing session

    If Firefox crashes frequently but stops crashing when you are in Safe Mode that is a pretty sure sign that there is something wrong with your individual setup of Firefox on your Windows 7 machine.
    (The 99 others claiming to have the same problem this week probably have their own distinct and separate problems - if you are one of those 99 it may make sense to start your own questions about your problems, if you do not see suitable answers).
    Many malware problems would continue even in Firefox's [[safe mode]], so the good news is that malware may not be your problem.
    Note that safe mode does not disable plugins, you may wish to consider testing with your plugins disabled, just in case they are interacting with something. To temporarily disable plugins use
    * '''Firefox button -> Add-ons -> |Plugins|'''
    You do not list the Firefox extensions that are in use, maybe one of them is a problem. I suggest you try Firefox with half of them disabled, if that solves the problem, the troublesome add-on may be in the other half, disable them all and then try with half of the other half enabled. (If you have more than a handful of add-ons it is faster testing like that than enabling or disabling one at a time)
    One very important question is how do you know Firefox is crashing ? <br/>will you please explain exactly what happens, and what if any error messages you are seeing. (If firefox freezes/hangs that may be different from Firefox or the OS crashing, and require different solutions).
    On a general note the following articles may help with troubleshooting:
    * [[basic troubleshooting]]

  • Why does Firefox keep updating when it knows it will not be compatible with extensions and plugins?

    firefox now will not let me run videos or my birthday e-cards. i tried all of their solutions as much as i could but am not even vaguely a techie at 61.
    why do the insist on updates that render stuff i use daily useless? why do I have delete or downgrade stuff to get things to work? this is total nonsense.
    i may leave firefox for anything else given this CONSTANT issues..nearly every update something is now not compatible..folks are not happy, firefox. i know i am not.
    ISSUE: videos and e-cards do not work. period. i have downgrade flash and messed with realplayer to no avail.
    HELP and SUGGESTIONS please

    PLEASE POST IN YOUR OWN NEW THREAD.
    This is getting complicated. Flash Player problems are not necessarily the only subject of this thread and it is a solved thread so it would be best to open a new question.
    The situation changes as new versions of Firefox and FlashPlayer are released, and both have updated within the last few days.
    Regarding FlashPlayer problms with Flash 11.3 there appear to be three problems
    * Real Player - that is best dealt with as a separate problem - so a first question has to be are you using Real Player and if so does that include video recording/downloading features ?
    * Protected mode <br/> Many problems on Windows Firefox relate to the use of protected mode by the Flash Payer 11.3 . Also note this is an issue only affecting recent Windows OS s .
    *Protected mode setting <br/> it is possible to set this or unset it manually, it is also possible for installers to set or unset this so not only the version, but where you obtain it and what the installer is can make a difference.
    The security level of these versions also needs considering, remember protected mode is itself a security enhancement.

  • Why does firefox zoom in when I open a new tab? How can I disable this?

    Every time I right click on a link and select "Open link in a new tab" firefox zooms in. This happens also when I hold ctrl and click on a link. I know I can just zoom back out using ctrl - but this gets really annoying sometimes. How can I disable this?

  • Why does Firefox 7 freeze when I paste a filename when printing to a file using Microsoft XPS Document Writer?

    This is more of a bug, and it doesn't seem to happen all the time.
    I like printing web pages to Microsoft XPS Document Writer (.xps) format. FF7 seems to freeze often when I paste a filename (usually from copying something, like the title, from the web page itself) after trying to print to a file using Microsoft XPS Document Writer. I think it may be that I wind up copying some special formatting (or maybe a line break) and that causes FF to freeze (I then have to force-close it using Task Manager). Just a bug that I hope the developers will note and fix.
    Another question, not quite related to the above, but is there a way to save an html web page to save only the text stuff? When I save to Text File in Firefox, I usually wind up with all the html crap in it too, when I just wanted the text content portion. TIA.

  • Why does firefox slow down when you reopen it whilst a file is still downloading?

    If im downloading a file and close the browser so that only the download manager is left showing ion the taskbar and then attempt to reopen firefox to browse something new, it runs incredibly slowly.
    So slow in fact that I have to close it (which in itself takes a while) and use internet explorer until the downloading has finished.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Why does Firefox 4 look different on xp than Win 7. Some of the features described in the intro are not showing up like the firefox button top left.

    When I loaded the new version on my office computer running Win 7 it looked like the promo but when I upgraded my other computers running xp it looks more like the earlier versions. What is the story people!!!

    Try turning off the menu toolbar
    * Use keyboard keys '''Alt''' then in turn '''V , T , M'''
    Note the menubar may be temporarily turned back on by using the Alt key even if the '''orange''' ''"Firefox Button"'' is displayed.
    Firefox 4 probably by default does not dislplay the bookmarks toolbar, and will display the Tabs on top.
    There are other changes; and some users do not like them, but in most cases firefox 4 can be made to look and work like firefox 3.6 if required.

  • 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.

  • Why does firefox 16.0.1 not allow me to click on buttons in the top 40mm below the banners, though i can get to them by tabbing to a buttons then press "Enter"?

    It doesn't matter what web-page I'm on, the top 40mm or so of the screen is a dead area for clicking on buttons or links. e.g. in Google I can click on a link lower down the page and get transferred to the new article - but if I were to move the item up nearer the top of the page the link would no longer operate.
    I can move to a link by repeated operation of the "Tab" key until the link or button is indicated, and then press "Enter" to use the link, but this is potentially very time-consuming if there are a lot of links on the page.
    I'm using a Toshiba Satellite L750 loaded with Windows 7, and Firefox 16.0.

    Problems with buttons and links at the top of the page not working can be caused by an extension like the Yahoo! Toolbar or a Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
