Why is the current version of Firefox is excruciatingly slow in displaying any words that have been typed in an email, etc...?
For some reason, and it only happens when using Firefox- not Google Chrome or IE, when typing an email it takes several seconds before the words that I have typed appear in the body of the email. This is true in all of my email accounts. Also, when using any of my GoDaddy email accounts, I am not allowed to enter a subject. Again, this true ONLY when using Firefox (my regular browser!)
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

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.

I find it extremely difficult using the current version of Firefox. Navigating through open pages is cumbersome and at times, closing tabs is not possible. I have to close Firefox and restart. I would like to download an older version of Firefox. Is this possible?? If not, I will go elsewhere.
Regards,
JerryHow are you trying to close tabs when that happens?
Does it work if you middle click a tab?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.

If you want to restore the old appearance then you can right click the orange Firefox button to open the toolbar context menu or use (F10) View > Toolbars.
* Click the Menu Bar entry and place a check-mark to make the Menu Bar visible all the time.
* Click "Tabs on Top" to remove the check mark and place the Tab Bar at its original position just above the browser window.

The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4.
Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
* Right click on the Back or Forward button
* Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens

When viewing an email with multiple links, I would click an icon in the toolbar which looked like a vertical multi-colored bar and all the links would open on the same page. I cannot find this (add-on) now that I have downloaded the current version of Firefox. Is there something which works similarly available?
Some of the other icons on this tool bar were red arrows.Maybe I just don't know how to make it work but It doesn't open all the links in at once in the same tab. I will read more about to see if I can figure this out. It is a challenge to learn new programs. I should have saved the old Firefox program which downloaded along with Firefox as I remember.

If I do not resubscribe after the first year with itunes match will any songs that have been upgraded in quality lose this upgrade or will it remain?
Dottie,
If you want to upgrade the quality of a song in your library, you have to delete the library copy and download the matched copy.
Once it is downloaded, it will stay in your library even you don't renew Match. -
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.

iphoto will not import my photos from my digital camera because it says it is having a problem downloading my photos. I'm using the same digital camera I have always had and have the current version of iphoto and am using snowleapord 10.6.8. Any thoughts?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there? -
The new version of firefox is ridiculously slow, how do I go back to the old version?
As requested I recently updated to the newer version of firefox, since I did that it has been really slow. I would like to go back to the older version, how do I do that?
Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop.<br><br>
Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).<br><br>
Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox<br><br>
Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.<br><br>
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.<br><br>
After you complete the installation, go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update those where necessary. -
When I download the latest version of Firefox it forces me to turn off my McAfee that I get with AT&T DSL. How can I run firefox and McAfee at the same time
The McAfee Site Advisor add-on for Firefox is the only thing that would be disabled, everything else related to McAfee should work just fine. Plus, you don't really need that extension at all, as it duplicates features that have been a part of Firefox for over 3 years now. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/
That add-on is blocklisted by Mozilla due to that Site Advisor extension being the #2 cause of crashing the Firefox 5.0 betas. McAfee was notified of the problem long before that extension was added to the blocklist. Now it is up to them to fix it, and they better be close to a solution as Firefox 6.0 will be released in another 10 days - I wonder if they're gonna be ready for that version, too.<br /> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/ <br />
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660111
My advice is to switch to a free AV application which doesn't install silly garbage like that Site Advisor to begin with and save your self the grief it brings with it. <br />

I'm just migrating some of my image archive across from one hard drive to another. During the process, I checked the files in Bridge to see that they'd copied correctly. It was here that I noticed that for some reason, in every folder that I've moved, there are at least a few images that it fails to recognise. These images are listed as having no camera model and no serial number. Attempting to open them in Photoshop CC says that it is an unrecognised file. Bridge struggles for a while, manages to eventually recognise a lot of them but always leaves a few that it cannot work with.
Having looked at the original drive, the files are fine and open perfectly. One thing that I've noticed is that some (not all) of the now corrupt files have been previously edited in CS5. Removing the sidecar xmp file makes no difference. Purging the cache makes no difference. Repairing permissions makes no difference.
I am running OSX Mavericks (10.9.3) and have the latest updated version of CC.
Please help!
LeonI'm using an Intel iMac, 3.6Ghz Intel core i5 with 12GB of 1333 Mhz DDR3 RAM.
The iMac has OSX 10.9.3 installed with all of the latest updates.
I'm using Adobe CC with all of the latest updates installed so Bridge is version 6.0.1.6.
I have repaired permissions, rebooted the Mac, re-started Bridge and cleared the Bridge cache.
The raw files are .nef files from a Nikon D4. They are currently stored on an external Western Digital red hard drive and all of the images are accessible and load correctly.
In moving the files across to a new Western Digital green drive, Bridge is failing to create some of the thumbnails. After waiting for all of the thumbnails to be created, the remaining files are simply displayed with a nef files icon. Any attempt to open them fails, with Adobe Photoshop CC displaying a message stating that the file is not in a format that Photoshop can understand.
On investigating further, I have found that the images that are causing issues are ones that have been edited before and have sidecar .xmp files. These .xmp files were created during editing when using Adobe Photoshop CS5.1.
I hope that's everything that you requested.

why cant i get a straight answer to a very simple question.
if you made a custom installation wherein you opt to have a different installation path, then you may have to delete the previous installed version.
if you made a default installation wherein you opt to have an "upgrade installation", then the original version need not be uninstalled.
having two installation paths will result to two working mozilla firefox browsers but each time you launch a version, an "add-on compatibility check" will always occur.
for best results, always do an "upgrade installation" unless you want to try a new version first by checking it out. -
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 -
I can't be entirely certain of the origin of this issue, but I've tried everything I can think of and the only thing I can nail down is that Firefox 6.0.1 is incompatible with Java. All of my extensions have been disabled without the option of even trying to enable them.
Now for the ACTUAL problem...this affect my Google/GMAIL experience and I use GMAIL for my business! The calendar used to display various mailboxes with different colours to identify different types of individuals and the Google Menu Bar on their homepage is not black, like it should be, it is TRANSPARENT with blue lettering. I can read the menu bar just fine, but the GMAIL thing is kind of important to my business!
I've tried the GMAIL forums to no avail...I've tried to uninstall Java [it wouldn't...just crashed and said there was an error...]. I even re-installed Java, but nothing changed!
I have also tried other browsers and they do the same thing, so I can't just pin it on Firefox, but I am hoping that someone here will have a good, working solution for me.
Thanks,
DaveOK, I'll try removing all of the extensions but that doesn't explain why my GMAIL and various other JAVA related [I'm assuming] things are not displaying properly. I even went as far as to replace my video card and download the most up to date drivers...still no change, but I will try removing all of the disabled extensions.
Thanks and if anyone has any other ideas I'd love to hear them

Why is the latest version of firefox no longer compatable with my BOUGHT & PAID FOR anti-virus?
My brand new computer came from the factory with Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security as an Anti-Virus. When its free trial ran out I BOUGHT & PAID for it for a YEAR. I liked you guys & used you as my only browser. Today Firefox updated & my anti-virus is no longer compatible. No Anti-Virus, NO BROWSING ON FIREFOX!!!!
Are you sure you're not referring to an extension that is included with the ant-virus program? Anti-virus programs work on the system level, so it shouldn't matter what version of Firefox you are using. Sometimes AV programs come with bells and whistles, like adding menus, options, or toolbars to certain programs. If that's the case, don't worry; your anti-virus program is still working fine with Firefox.
If you go to '''Help > Troubleshooting Information''' then click '''Copy all to Clipboard''', open a reply to this post, and go to '''Edit > Paste''' to paste the info from your Troubleshooting Information page, we should be able to see if you have any extensions installed on Firefox by an anti-virus program.
