Hi Daniel,
Thank you for your question. At the moment 29.0.1 is a hotfix. I would encourage to update as it fixes many security issues and adds safety to your browsing. This will show you notifications when a hotfix goes out.

Smart mailbox for Unread messages doesn't update automatically.

Hello everyone.
I've set up a smart mailbox in Mail to show only my unread messages. But, it doesn't update automatically in that when I read a message, that message remains visible in the list until I leave and then return to the "Unread Messages" smart mailbox.
Any thoughts as to how I can get it to update automatically?
Thanks very much.....

Thanks for the note, Jeffrey and trust me when I say I'm a die-hard Apple believer. But, at work I support Windows machines and Outlook has views to show only unread messages. As soon as a messages is read and we move on to the next messages, the read message drops out of the list. This is what I'm look for so that I can apply it to the few Macs I also support at work.
What Apple's Mail gives us is good, but what we were hoping was to have the smart mailbox work the same way that Outlook's feature does. However, I still much prefer working with Mail rather than with Outlook. So, we will adjust.
Thanks again.

How long has been this happening? Have you tried again?
I will encourage you to use the recommendations on this article whenever Sync returns Unknown errors for a long period of time.

Sometimes it's just as simple as a connection issue between your computer and the servers.

You're welcome.
You can download the beta, but you should remember that it is still a beta version and that there are still bugs that need to be resolved. The beta versions are released as test versions to make it possible to get as many bugs fixed as possible before the final release.
Make sure that you create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile to avoid the beta version from corrupting the Firefox 3.6.x profile. 
The Firefox beta version install by default in their own program folder and do not replace the currently installed Firefox 3.6.x release.

Firefox has always updated automaticly. Suddenly I get a message to upgrade to firefox 5. Should I open the site?

A pop up offered an opportunity to download firefox 5. Firefox has always updated automaticly. Instructions still say that is the case. Is the pop up a fake?

What type of attachment? A PDF file? Which Adobe software did you upgrade? Are you using Safari?

WHY FIREFOX IS INSTALLING UPDATES WITHOUT ASKING ME?!!

Sometimes these updates crash Firefox.

You can disable automatic updates, see [[Updating Firefox#Configuring update options|configuring update options]] for details.

Since version 3.6.6, my firefox doesn't update itself.

Well, before version 3.6.6, my firefox update function was working good. Means it automatically used to download the new version and install it (as expected). But now since version 3.6.6, its not working. Means it always stuck at 99% and then never finish the download and never installs it. I have to download every new version from the official site manually and install it.
Why the update function is not working? Is it only me? please help.......
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== version 3.6.6

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Why webpage doesn't update its content (clearing cookies doesn't work)?

Hi,
My problem is occuring all the time and I would beg on knees for some assist please. When I do within particular websites (not all but more than one) few changes, e.g. verify email address or verify financial information or adding particular data, etc, I am supposted to get some content changed within the web access. e.g. some menus should occur and/or some additional options available and/or different user access (example now verified instead of unverified), some additional drop down menu options, perhaps some images shown, perhaps banners removed and so on. So I am supposted to see some difference within the content. My problem is that I don't. I contacted support department and I asked them whether or not I entered needed details correctly. They told me everything is correctly saved and they even read to me typed information - everything what they read was correct, I really typed that. This means in the database is everything saved. However as I said I don't see any changed on my side within account. I asked what should be different and the answer was that some new buttons should occur, warning message gone and previously unavailable button should become available. Additional answer, received by representative, was that my browser is not being updated based on most recent actions within my account. Possible solution, provided by representative to me, is to wait for entire system update. I am waiting endlessly and still no content change. I cleared all cookies (cache). Used tools to clear and also CLEAR option within firefox's settings. Furthermore I cleared entire registry, rebooted computer and didn't help. Then i decided to shut down pc completely. Still nothing. Then I even tried restarting the router, still doesn't help. I made sure via several resources that I am NOT blocking any java, javascript, adobe, or whichever other content. The website doesn't require any particular firefox plugin. Also double checked the firefox is updated to the most recent version but nothing helps. I still don't get the content updated after I typed what I was supposted to within my account after I logged in. Called them again, once again representative told me everything is saved. However I need the website (browser) content updated (obviously im talking about the content update and not browser version update) in order to resume with next step of the procedure I am doing. Don't have the option to try different computer so please avoid suggesting that. I did secondary temporary account and same story there - same browser problem, content of the webpage, after doing some major work (e.g. typing bank account details or approving previously typed account details), is Not being updated. Could anyone please tell me what to do?

I just updated one of my webpages on my website, but could not see the updated page- the old version still showed. I restarted Firefox and tried to view the updated page again, and still the old version showed. Then I had the idea to CLEAR EVERYTHING as the default tool in vsn 37.0.2 is set up from the History, View Recent History option. It took a long time for everything to clear, but when I then tried to view my updated webpage, it showed this time updated. Am I supposed to periodically CLEAR EVERYTHING for Firefox to pick up updated webpages?

Neither Firefox nor Thunderbird update automatically even though the settings are correct; the udates just "hang"

I have a MacBook Pro 13 10.7.5
neither of the program Updates for Firefox or Thunderbird complete the process; I have set for automatic updates; the message shows and say it is/they are updating but it just "hangs"
firewall is ON

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 17.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Why Firefox doesn't read keyboard input properly on Windows when chained deadkeys are involved?

I'm trying to customize my keyboard layout on Windows. I have finally installed my new layout. However some of key combinations doesn't work on some applications. One of them is Firefox. It seems it doesn't handle chained deadkeys. And for some reason RightAlt + Q which sould produce "\" produces some wierd combination – this parcitual wierd issue is specific to Firefox. I can send an installer of the keyboard.
Thank you for help

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. 
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Why Firefox doesn't load flash?

I've had this problem in the past and I had to move to Opera for a while but got solved I don't know how. Today when I turned on my PC today the flash updater appeared like always and I updated it. Then I go to youtube and I can't see the video. It was fine yesterday. Then I realised no flash content was loading. It just shows an empty space where the flash thing should be. I tried uninstalling flash and firefox and installing a previous flash and nothing works. What can I do? Oh, I use firefox 4.

Well, yeah... right after I found the problem I tried uninstalling/installing again both firefox 4 and the flash player without any success. Then I returned to firefox 3,5 to write here then I noticed the flash was working again. That's the computer I use at my office. At home I still have a perfectly working firefox 4 because I didn't do the update that made it fail. Both computers run Windows XP but I don't remember if the one at the office has SP3... I know the one at home does have it. The one at my office tells me now to get firefox 4 but I don't want to because I won't be able to play flash.
Oh, one last thing... recently I can't put attachments on my hotmail e-mails and it only happens with firefox. On IE and Opera it works fine.

Why Firefox doesn't show the captcha on the site swisscom mobile?

I can see the captcha image from most of the website, but not of swisscom mobile site. On other computer I don't have any trouble with this site. So I think it's a security problem. Ma computer should block something. But it doesn't work neither when I allowed the cookies and the popup. I'm not sure but I think I had ti add an exeption for this site, but I don't know how to see it any more. Do you have any idea how to make the captcha image visible again? Because I can't enter the site anymore. Thank you very much

I'm not seeing the captcha either. I see it in the page code, but the containing DIV has display:none , so it isn't displayed. If there is JavaScript that loads the captcha then it isn't working.
Do you have problems with logging in?

Why Firefox doesn't store cookies enough?

I am using some websites that I used to visit before with old version of Firefox and I had to delete those website cookies but it takes to long to cookies stored that much and need to be delete. but in new version I have to delete the cookies after a few times visiting those websites. What is the problem. It really freaks me out.

Cor-el,
Deleting the cookies.sqlite file didn't help. I also tried disabling my extensions (I only had one enabled), and addons, both were unsuccessful. Earlier you said firewalls and anti-virus programs might cause a problem. What should I do about that? Is it possible that I'm being spyed on by someone? Thanks so much for all your help.
