Why does the latest upgrade to firefox run and run on my MAC without ever loading
I get a message saying update Firefox now. I hit the enter and the Firefox update runs, last time I tried I went to another page to keep working and the update was running for over 30 minutes. The about Firefox page shows issue 33
Hello Norrsken, please try to download and install firefox. Do the next steps:
1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html (full installer)
2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Mac Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

Why does the latest version of firefox crash on my windows 7 64 bit system? in English
I've used Firefox forever, swear by it. The past few times I've installed the latest version, my computer comes to a SLOW crawl and CRASHES repeatably. I uninstall and re-install 3.6.24 and every thing works fine. I constantly get reminders that I'm using the older version and to update. I refuse to because it turns my system into a glorified paper weight. Any idea why this might happen?
Sorry I didn't get a crash report. My computer would just come to a complete stand still. No reports, nothing. I've installed it at lease three times now, and each time it does the same thing. I have to do a hard reboot, uninstall and re-install the 3.6.24 version and it works fine. I posted the question to see if anyone else has experience the same problems. I could try it again to see if I get a crash report. I would have to do this over the weekend as I use this computer for my business.
I appreciate your response and sorry I didn't have a report for you. I'll keep you informed as to what takes place when I try to re-install.
Thanks again -
Flash Player Plugin between 11.0 and 11.7.700.169 (click-to-play) has been blocked for your protection.this is what firefox tells me but when i check the add-ons manager it says version 15.0.0.239 is installed.how can i get firefox to recognize the right version
The Plugin check is behind on what versions is current to check for so it is useless at moment until it is updated.
This is because 15.0.0.2'''39''' is not the latest Firefox 15 version as there has been at least 15.0.0.2'''42''' which is on blocklist and 15.0.0.2'''46''' which is not on the blocklist as according to Adobe it is not affected.
Flash Player Plugin 14.0 to 15.0.0.242
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/blocked/p798
Flash Player Plugin 10.3.183.66 to 13.0.0.258
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/p794
So for Windows and Mac 16.0.0.235, 13.0.0.25'''9''' ESR and
15.0.0.24'''6''' are not vulnerable according to Adobe and are not on blocklist.
'''philipp''' you need to update your posting for this as Mozilla made a two part blocklist on Friday so as to not block the 13.0.0.258 ESR version and your link is for one of the two blocklists for Win/Mac. -
just downloaded a new version of Firefox and it loaded a heap of background programs that produce stupid pop ups for PC cleanup tools and other nuisance pop-up crap? When did you make the decision to add this crap to your freeware??? Most annoying......

Ever since I downloaded the latest version of firefox..is running slower, I am not really liking the new format, is there anyway to go back to the old one?
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 and the updater process.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firewalls
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

My Google toolbar was deleted when I downloaded the latest version of Firefox. It will not re-load because it is not compatible. Is this problem with Google or with Firefox? Will it be fixed soon, or will I have to go back to Internet Explorer?

Why is the latest version of Firefox 33.0.2 using 100% of my CPU?
Just like the last update to Thunderbird, with no changes on my system, the latest version of Firefox uses 100% of my CPU where it didn't before. I've run every test, disabled my anti-virus, run in safe mode and it makes no difference.
Since there was no useful answers when I posted about the TB problem, I doubt there will be any here.
Sorry Mozilla, but you're about to lose my support. I already moved away from Thunderbird. Now that FF has the same problem, I'm about to switch my browser to Chrome, even though it is not as good.Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

Why does the update change my home page and make Google so prevelant?
Several of the last "updates" involved the changing of my bookmarks and home page,. The so called update required me to spend more time in refreshing the browser to its previous condition. This is frustrating to say the least. Second why does the updated version of of firefox seem to favor google?
Normally, an update does not change your home page...
What did you home page change to? That might help identify the source of the problem.
I assume you have tried changing your home page back to your preferred site, either in the Options dialog or using one of the other methods:
* [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
* [[How to set the home page]]
Did that work at all? By "at all" I mean:
* Immediately after making the change, if you click the Home button, or launch a new window using Ctrl+n, does your preferred page load? Or is that ignored?
* Does the setting revert later in your session (you see in Options it has changed)?
* Does the setting revert after you exit and start Firefox up again?
* Is the problem only when you use your Firefox desktop shortcut?
With that information, it will be easier to recommend a solution.
I'm not sure I understand your second question. Google has always been the default search provider in Firefox. Are you seeing even more Google than that? -

On my desktop, I have been using Firefox V27 on Ubuntu 12.04 for some time. It uses secure sites - such as https://mozilla.org - and accepts the Security Certificates quite happily, so I am not even aware there is any issue.
My new laptop is Windows 8,1, and I have installed Firefox- the latest version.
Whenever Firefox visits a secure site, it ALWAYS says that there is a problem with the security certificate - even at mozilla.org - and warns me away. I have to complete a security exemption.
Why is this, and how can I fix it?
Thanks in anticipation.unfortunately the fiddler2 issuer in certificates might be a sign of unwanted software present on your pc that is intercepting secure network traffic. please go into the system control panel and uninstall programs like BrowserSafeguard, BrowserSafe, SafeGuard or other software that sounds suspicious and didn't get installed by you intentionally.
<br><sub>reference: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/982532#answer-520145</sub>
afterwards, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

Why does the vidio on you tube jump and skip now with firefox 4. I did not have this problem before.
The video, not the sound, skips and jumps on you tube. Before I upgraded to firefox 4, the video flowed smoothly. Why. Fix this now!!!!!
Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" -
I close the tab, click both clear now buttons in preferences > advanced, but the images do not update to newly uploaded ones on my site. I had a long session with my CDN and it is not their issue. It does not occur on Safari or Chrome, only Firefox. I updated to the latest version two days ago. Please advise on this bug... issue... or procedure...
Thank you,
