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

Why does the latest version of firefox insist flash player is out of date and blocks play back but it is the latest update

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.

Why does the latest version of firefox come with so much spam software? Spent an hour uninstalling most of it. really annoyed. Loyal firefox user.

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......

Why is the latest version of Firefox not compatable with the Google toolbar? Will it ever be or do I need to switch back to Internet Explorer?

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 my latest version of Firefox under Windows 8.1 always report problems with security certifactes - even on mozilla,com - when my latets version on Ubunt

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.
 reference: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/982532#answer-520145
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 is the latest version of iTunes crashing on Windows 8.1?

The latest version crashes when connecting to the iTunes store, is there a fix for this? I'm using Windows 8.1 on my PC.

You are not having my exact same problem, but try this:
1. Browse to "C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming" in Windows Explorer.
2. Rename the "Apple Computer" folder to "Apple Computer-old".
3. Start iTunes
4. Close iTunes
5. Copy the file "iTunesPrefs.xml" from "C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer-old\iTunes"
6. Paste the old "iTunesPrefs.xml" into the new "Apple Computer\iTunes" folder iTunes just created (not the one you renamed) under "C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer-old\iTunes"
7. Overwrite the new iTunesPrefs.xml with your old copy of the file.
If you don't care about losing your iTunes preferences then you can just do step 2. You can always go back and grab things from the old folder later if you realize you wanted to have your EQ settings, individual track gains, etc...

Does the latest version of Firefox support Trusteer Rapport 3.6.1105.60? This is a recommended application by my bank.

The last time I downloaded the latest version it would not support the Trusteer Rapport application recommended by my bank to secure my password etc. information.
I am currently running Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; en-US; rv:1.9.2.23) Gecko/20110920 Firefox/3.6.23 and do not want to compromise my security with on line banking.

Why does the latest version of iMovie not have an option of sharing with iDVD?

How are you supposed to burn a DVD using the latest version of iMovie? I've always had the option to share to iDVD and now it's not there.

It is there but you don't want to use it as it will degrade the quality of the movie. Instead use the Share ➙ Media Browser option.
Then in iDVD go to the Media/Movies section and drag the movie into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones that may be there:

Why does the latest version of HP Support Assistant crash every time I try to use it?

I have an HP 6730f desktop with Windows 7 preinstalled. Recently, I was advised to upgrade the HP Support Assistant program by HP through an update message. Upon doing so, I am unable to start the program without an error message that states that a serious problem has occurred and the program must close. I have since uninstalled the program entirely. I would, however, be satisfied with the Support Assistant that came with the computer, but wonder why the updated version does not work...?

Hello PCJim,
Have you tried reinstalling the program since uninstalling? It could of just been a bad install that required needing to uninstall / reinstall.

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.

Why does the updated version of iTunes crash when trying to watch TV shows I bought?

Hi,
just yesterday, I got a notice informing me that there was a new version of iTunes ready to be downloaded. I went ahead and downloaded it and everything seemed to work fine until I tried watching a TV show I already had on there. Every time I would try to start an episode of one of the TV shows, iTunes would crash and shut down. I've never had an issue before, why now after this update? Can someone give me a reason as to why this might be happening and if I can possibly fix it?
Thanks,
Victoria

I just found out from another post on how you can fix the issue. Open QuickTime Player on your computer and go to Edit >> Preferences >> QuickTime Preferences. Once your in QuickTime Preferences, click on the "Advanced" tab then uncheck the box that says "Enable Direct3D video acceleration". I tried this and it seemed to solve my problem. Hope it works for you!

Why does the latest version of Apple TV suck?

I still have my first Apple TV (1st gen) which is amazing. I just bought the latest one at xmas. It was working fine and then asked to be updated. So, we updated it. It won't work now. It asks to be plugged in to iTunes. And you need a new cable (micros USB) to do so. Why ruin something that worked? Why?

My apple tv has decided to stop working (its only 1yr and 1month old, surprise, surprise...) and it says i have to plug it in to itunes on my mac but i haven't got any cables to plug it in to my mac..... What cable do i need? what do i do?
Ps: i have Macbook pro retina, ipad air 2 128gb , iphone 6plus 128 gb, imac 27", apple tv, 3tb time capsule...... and all my friends say i should switch to android, and i think there right, there chrome cast is SOOOO much better..... and im not trolling... apple can check my account and i have spent thousands, and thousands and thousands on altos stuff and its a pile of ......
if i have to pay for the cable tu plug my apple tv in to my mac i will throw it away and get a 30$ chrome cast (the same than what the apple cable will cost..)
I liked apple because it all went great, but now it just ***** and not the good type of *****, the kind of ***** that makes you think why did i spend SOOOOO much money on hardware that is as crappy as googles but much much much more expensive than google....
Cable? no cable? chrome cast? or just change my hole ecosystem?
