WHY Firefox 4 shows up titlebar on Ubuntu Linux?

I'm kinda fed up with this new feature. I cannot remove my titlebar or can't put my tams in titlebar like chrome. Though it was easy to put it in previous versions via Hide Caption addon.
with STYLISH off I have this -> http://imm.io/4vBm
Also the scrollbars in linux are so damn ugly http://imm.io/4vBk
Please do update me as soon as possible
Thank you

Firefox 4 doesn't run on a PowerPC Mac.
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

For a Firefox 4 version that runs on Mac OS X 10.4.11 or Mac OS X 10.5.8 (PPC) you can look at:

Why Firefox for Android is causing The Linux kernel to send data packets to random sites?

I've recently installed CyanogenMod on my Nexus 5. Shorty after installing CyanogenMod I decided to install Firefox on my device from here:
https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.mozilla.firefox
Afrer installing it I decided to install a frontend application for IPtabels from here:
https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=dev.ukanth.ufirewall
After installing it I blocked some applications from accessing my data networks, including The
Linux kernel. After some hours passed I took a look at the firewall log and I noticed that the firewall
has blocked several data packets from accessing the internet. The log also showed the IP addresses where
the data packets were being sent. I decided to find out to whom these IP adresses belonged. The results were
rather strange. One particular IP belonged to a French ISP, one on the other hand belonged to a Finnish ISP.
Finally I found one IP that made some sense. That IP belonged to Mozilla. However, at this point I couldn't be sure
that Firefox was causing this behaviour. So I did a little test. I re-installed CyanogenMod on my Nexus 7.
I connected my Nexus 7 to my WiFi-network at my home and I installed the same frontend application for IPtables
on my device. I configured the firewall the same way I did for my phone, so The Linux kernel was also blocked
from accessing any data networks. I surfed the web with my device and did some other things with it. I also checked the
firewall log from time to time, and no applications showed up in the log. So I installed Firefox on my device. And immediately
after installing it The Linux kernel was trying to send data packets to the same IP addresses. Now I was almost completely sure
that Firefox was indeed causing this strange behaviour.
Here are some addresses where The Linux Kernel was trying to send data packets:
69.50.225.155
63.245.217.219
72.167.239.239
23.43.139.27
74.125.232.107
193.229.109.41
63.245.217.160
94.23.204.140
Conclusion:
*I downloaded CyanogenMod from the projects official site and I checked the md5sums of the files
I downloaded before I flashed anything onto my device
*I installed all the applications on my devices (including Firefox) from here: https://f-droid.org
*I didn't do anything stupid with my devices so I dont' think that they were infected with malware
*I changed Firefox settings so that it didn't share any data with Mozilla
So I'd like to have some answers to the following questions:
1)Why Firefox is causing the Linux kernel to send data to these IP addresses and is there any way
to turn this "feature" off?
2)Do the other versions of Firefox and other Mozilla software (Thunderbird etc.) also include this form of snooping?

Firefox 3.6.17 on Ubuntu linux not opeing pdf files consistanly

I run a test server(Ubuntu 10.4 ) with Firefox 3.6.17. I have written several php pages that allow customer to click buttons that pull up pdf files for this or that. If I click on a button, the pdf will usually open once or twice, but after that, I need to shut down fire fox and reopen it in order to get it to pull up the pdf again. I have Adobe reader 9.4 installed and the 9.4 plugin is also install and enabled. This has never been a problem in the past. I have the same code running on my production servers and FF for windows does not have any issues. Chrome has no trouble either

Update to a supported OS
This is not an Ubuntu Support forum, but one immediate problem is that you are running unsupported and outdated Ubuntu software. Ubuntu 10.04 was EOL 2013
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_versions#Table_of_versions
* http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2013/03/19/changes-in-ubuntu-releases-decided-by-the-ubuntu-technical-board/
I just booted an old Ubuntu lucid, and that was using Firefox (Canonical) 20. No doubt that was the last version of Firefox available when support ended.
You probably will be able to run & install Firefox Mozilla 27 on that if you tried, but I have not tried that myself.
I am posting this from Ubuntu 12.04 precise using Firefox(Canonical) 28 and also have various Firefox Mozilla versions installed.
You appear to have posted from a Windows7 64 bit computer. If you use an up to date Ubuntu your distro will have an up to date matching Firefox Canonical. You will have a choiceof 32 or64 bit Ubuntu. If however you happen to go down the route of Mozilla Firefox note the default download offerings are 32bit builds, although 64bit are available as ftp downloads.
If you follow the instructions in
*[[install firefox on linux]]
** '''edit''' and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion/MozillaBuilds
that is an additional version. It does not remove your distro install of Firefox.
Whatever route you take remember to backup the Firefox profile and put it somewhere safe. Just in case anything goes wrong. (Remember you probably have an encrypted Home Directory/Partition ) It is now possible to upgrade automatically no need to do it manually

Need Firefox 4.0 installer for Ubuntu (linux) 10.04

I can't install the new Firefox 4.0 or 4.0.1 in my netbook, 'couse it only supports Ubuntu 10.04 and I want the installer with the ".deb" extention.

Ok I tested a bunch of different Firefoxes on my pos linux box.

I have an old Dell Dimension 2400 I plan to use as a replacement for the Sony Vaio when it pops. I've held out as long as possible because it lacks a pci or usb wifi and I really didn't want to run 50 feet of cat5 up a flight of stairs to it. [as i type this i think i remember where a linksys stick for it might be]. Yes I guess it's about time I just do that.
Don't laugh but the reason I held off adding a simple usb keyboard was just lack of space in my tiny bedroom. My setup is on two tray tables side-by-side. Sony Vaio is on left one, my lcd monitor and mouse are on the other. I barely have room to put a cup of coffee on the one with monitor and mouse let alone a full size usb keyboard lol.
Anyway thank you again for all your help.

Upgrading to Firefox 17 on ubuntu linux 10.04 caused my xmodmap remapped keys to not work in Firefox

After upgrading from Firefox 16 (16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) to Firefox 17 (17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) on 22-November-2012 I no longer can use an xmodmap remapped F key in Firefox. It still works in other gnome programs but pressing the new F key anywhere in Firefox 17 produces no action. I even had to use the gedit program in order to type all this before copying it into the Ask a Question form.
Here is my situation: I use Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS on a circa 2004 Sony Vaio notebook pc. I've been using linux on it dating back to Ubuntu 8.04. When I got the used pc the "F" key on the keyboard was broken off. I programmed the .xmodmaprc file in my home folder to initiate the "Keycode 133 = F" command on startup in order to remap the missing key to the unused Windows Logo key on the lower left of the keyboard. This has worked flawlessly for over four years. In all prior versions of Firefox going back to whatever version was included in Ubuntu 8.04 I have had no trouble using this key through all Firefox upgrades until now.
On the morning of 22-Nov-2012 the Update Manager notified me of an upgrade to the following packages as shown in the history log of Synaptic Package Manager:
Commit Log for Thu Nov 22 09:20:16 2012
Upgraded the following packages:
firefox (16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) to 17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
firefox-branding (16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) to 17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
firefox-gnome-support (16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) to 17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
firefox-locale-en (16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) to 17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
ubufox (2.1.1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) to 2.6-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
xul-ext-ubufox (2.1.1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) to 2.6-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
After performing the upgrade and restarting Firefox I noticed I was no longer able to use my remapped F key at all. I checked other programs and it worked OK so I know it's a Firefox 17 problem only. I tried reinstalling all the packages again with no results. I even went so far as to perform a Reset Firefox in Help-->Troubleshooting Information to try and get it working. All this ended up doing was removing all add-on extensions and changing some of my settings in Preferences but I'm not positive of any changes beyond the Location Bar setting in Privacy changing from Nothing to History and proxy setting going from No to Auto-Detect.
The only solution that has worked to fix this problem is uninstalling Firefox 17 and reinstalling Firefox 16 using a downloaded firefox_16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1_i386.deb file from Ubuntu as Firefox 16 no longer shows up in the main repository since 22-November-2012. The only versions available for a Force Version in Synaptic are 3.6 and 17 now. After downgrading only the firefox package shows version 16.0.2, all other components I listed above stayed at version 17. I don't know if this will cause any other problems but so far nothing bad has happened.
After I submit this question I will be downgrading again to Firefox 16 until this problem can be solved.
Edit: noted the following Language Packs were disabled on restart after downgrading to Firefox 16 again:
English (GB) Language Pack 17.0
English (South Africa) Language Pack 17.0
If my memory is correct I only remember having an English (GB) Language Pack in all prior versions of Firefox. Firefox 17 was the first time I noticed a English (South Africa) Language Pack installed. It's possible the problem with xmodmap keys not functioning in Firefox 17 could be related to something in these two packs.

Ok I tested a bunch of different Firefoxes on my pos linux box.

Why does firefox show up as a plugin on volume mixer?

Why does firefox show up as a plugin on volume mixer? After updating a flash plugin into firefox (when it had requested me to update it), it no longer shows up as firefox in volume mixer. It now shows up as some plugin icon. I really don't understand this, and wish it to be the firefox icon again. What is going on and what happened? It names itself "Plugin Container For Firefox" What does that mean? It has been this way ever since, and nothing I have done has fixed this. Restarting, refreshing, reinstalling, clearing cache, etc. Can anyone think of something please? :(

I have this, but my volume on firefox doesnt work at all

I have Firefox 3.3.22 in ubuntu 10.04 I want to upgrade to 5 or 6, Firefox doesn't show up under update just add-on and search engines, plese help.

I've tried several times in the past, but can't seem to find any helpful information.

You have the Firefox version from your Ubuntu Linux distribution, so if you want to update that version then you need to do that via the software management of Ubuntu.
You can also download and install the full Firefox 6.0.2 version.

Why does the new version 5 of firefox show up all the graphics on my web sites with a huge wide black border? They should be narrow and yellow!! I use iWeb for my web sites on an AppleMac iMac 22" wide screen.

Where can I download a pre-compiled Firefox binary for an "lpia" based netbook (not i386) Intel Atom HP Mini running Ubuntu Linux 2.6 please?

The original (current) Firefox 3.0 browser version is insufficient because most website content is no longer compatible. I can't get the package manager to upgrade at all, so I want to find a newer Firefox binary that I can load and use to make the Internet browser, and hence, the computer functional once again. Thank you.

Ubuntu Linux 2.6 ??
The first version back in 2004 was Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog).
At any rate, you're going to need to upgrade to a newer version of Linux to be able to install a much newer version of Firefox.

Why does Firefox show my website as an untrusted connection?

I recently switched my website to https and now Firefox show my site at www.bizniznet.co.za as an untrusted connection. This can have an unwanted impact on my website and cost me clients. This does not happen every time I open my site as Firefox is my default connection to the internet.

I want to ask something about firefox.
why firefox use very much memory?
can you develop to reduce memory comsume?
this problem is very distrub in my PC with low memory.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

How much memory is Firefox using right now?
# Press '''CTRL+SHIFT+ESC''' to load the Task Manager window
# Click the Processes tab at the top. (Click once near the top of the window if you don't see tab
# Find firefox.exe, and see how many kilobytes of memory it's using.
Showing around 80MB when Firefox first starts is normal. Right now, I have 75 tabs open and it's using 500MB - this varies a lot depending on what you have in the tabs.
Other than high memory usage, what other problems are you experiencing? (Examples include slowness, high CPU usage, and failure to load certain sites)
Many of these issues, including high memory usage, can be caused by misbehaving add-ons. To see if this is the case, try the steps at [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]. Outdated plugins are another cause of this issue - you can check for this at http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck

Firefox shows in task manager, but won't open

Firefox doesn't open, though it opens once in a while. It shows in task manager and takes up 50% CPU usage, and ending process and retrying doesn't work. Profile manager doesn't open either. There's no error message, and have restarted laptop (Windows XP) many times, but no results.
Help would be appreciated!

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
