With upgrade to Firefox 3.6.10, Windows XP slow to boot & browsers even slower to become available. Not sure the problem is Firefox, but everything was fine until the latest automatic upgrade to 3.6.10.
This just happened again for perhaps the third time.
The Firefox 3.6.24 version is the latest version of the 3.6.x branch, so do not install an older version.
*Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/8.0/system-requirements/
For an unofficial Firefox 8 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

I recently bought a new tower with windows 8.1 everything was fine until yesterday when I went to watch a video that someone had posted, the sound was there but the screen was all green everything I try to watch has a green screen, I have gotten rid of the green screen but now the video won't load to watch. it tells me I have to upgrade flash player but my computer tells me its already embedded or something like that in windows 8.1. can you help.@marks93255255 or [email protected]!
If other devices can connect to the network without problems, it means that the router can provide wireless internet. For this situation, an isolation process is needed to be able to find a fix.
Was the computer tested to connect through Wi-Fi before you bought it?
Did you do Mac address filter on your router?
Make sure that the router is using WPA/WPA2 or WPA2 encryption type just like what Chester has recommended. If your router is already set to that security type, you may test by disabling the wireless security of the WI-Fi router. Check if it will connect or not.
Another thing to check is the properties of your wireless connection. To do that, Go to Network and Sharing center > Click change adapter settings > right click “Wireless” > go to Properties> click Internet protocol IPV4> check the Properties button below > make sure that it’s set to both Obtain IP automatically and Obtain DNS server automatically.
Feel free to update here so everybody in the community can help. -
Beginning March 1, 2012, I would go to YouTube click on a video & within 3-4 seconds Firefox would crash. This has continued non-stop for a week now. Prior to March 1, 2012 I rarely had this problem, I was able to watch videos easily, for hours. I've also noticed that Firefox crashes when I try to download (any) files, again, I rarely had this problem prior to March 1, 2012. This has now happened dozens and dozens of times since March 1st. (Please help!!) Please: don't inform me I need to upgrade my software or hardware, I have no money, I cannot afford upgrading. Please fix this crash problem as soon as possable. sincerely C. Folk (PS: the crash ID: link below is the latest)
Here is the crash report from the Crash ID you posted in "more system details", in case it gives you any clues:
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/e63e56eb-4343-4f9a-be1a-dc6852120308 Firefox 3.6.19 Crash Report [@ QuickTimeFireWireDV@0x13a04 ]
I was going to suggest checking to make sure that QuickTime isn't set to handle Flash Media in the QuickTime System Preferences if you have an old version of QuickTime (previous to 7.3) Ref:
*https://discussions.apple.com/message/5579981#5579981
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#QuickTime_plugin_takes_over_Flash
.... but that doesn't account for the crashes while downloading or why the problem began March 1 . Do you remember adding, removing, or updating any software around that time? -
I start the Firefox browser.
When the start page displays I get just below the Google search box:
You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!
Not unusual but when I go to the update site it searches for a minute and then tells me that I have the current version of the software.If you use the www.google.com/firefox site as home page that previous Firefox 3 versions use as the home page then you can ignore the message about not using the latest Firefox version on that page.<br />
Google no longer seems to maintain that page.<br />
Current Firefox 4+ versions no longer use that Google website as the home page, but use the build-in about:home page as the home page.<br />
Google assumes that you use an older Firefox version if you still visit that site and warns you that you use an older Firefox version and suggests to update.<br />
You can use another page as the home page like about:home or www.google.com or www.google.com/ig (iGoogle).<br /> -
I downloaded Firefox Setup 8.0.1.exe from the website to my desktop and opened it as an administrator. The available choice (once opened) was to upgrade. When the process was complete my version of Firefox was identified as 8.0.1 but the main screen still said - "You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!"
This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained.
Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same. -
Upgrading to Lightroom 5.6 get message "Windows cannot access specific device path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item" I'm running Windows 7. How do I make it work?
right click the installation file and click 'run as administrator'.

I tried to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox but on the Firefox start page it still says "you are not on the latest version of Firefox, upgrade now". The start page looks different so maybe it did upgrade but why does the reminder still show?
You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. It appears that page is no longer being maintained by Google. You appear to have the latest Firefox version.
'''If you want the Google search page as your home page,''' change your home page to '''''about:home''''' (a new, updated version of the old Google/Firefox home page is now built-in to Firefox).

On the opening page of Firefox, I am constantly reminded (and sometimes warned) that I do not have the latest version of Firefox. Yet, when I click for upgrade, I start getting a download of the same version 8.0.1 which I am already running.
This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained.

Hello, I upgraded to Yosemite (10.10.2) a month ago and everything was fine. Suddenly I can't open iPhoto. There is no error message and nothing happens when I click it. Thanks for any advice.
Hi Larry,
When I open the Bonusprint software there is a window on the side with 'LIBRARIES' at the top and I can access my photos and albums from here. I can still see all my photos in the various albums etc., underneath and when I click on them they open as thumbnails underneath but iPhoto itself is still paralysed even after I quit the Bonusprint software. -
I have upgraded twice but home page still says "your not using the latest version. Upgrade now"
When I open Firefox and the home page comes up it tells me that i am not using the latest version and should upgrade. I also run into a stop scrip issue when I go to clear the history. It usually takes three tries to clear the history.
I would have to guess that your home page is pointing to one of the what's new pages from a previous Firefox release. Nothing to be concerned with here. You can change your home page to point wherever you'd like by clicking Preferences/Options->General and changing the home page option.
For the stop script history issue, do you know what web page is causing the issue? -

I've recently installed IOS 7.0.3. on my Ipad4. With the latest automatic upgrade of First Class yesterday the textfields for loggning in disappears upworth. How can I correct this.
HALF-SOLUTION!!!! (Restoring only, basically.)
Restore the phone via iCloud.com
1. Go to iCloud.com , and log in.
2. If you want a back up, make sure you back it up to itunes now!
3. Now back to iCloud.com - select the device you want. Press "Erase iPhone" (or iPad, iPod whatever).
You will go through a few steps. Skip the phone number and leave a message, as it isn't lost. Your phone will be restored. No need for plugging in!
4. IMPORTANT: Just set it up as usual. Language, country blah. But then you'll get to a step where it says something like "This iPhone was erased with iCloud. Log in with the Apple ID you used to erase it". In this case, my Dad's. So please do that. Later on, the phone will ask for an Apple ID to be used for the phone. I put my own one as I didn't want my dads!!!! Lol....
5. Plug into iTunes and back-up.
As for updating, I'm still on 7.0.2,,, it ain't working on my phone or itunes!! :( -
The latest automatic update (in March) was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived (today 7. March) with the same "request". Why does this happen and what can I do to stop it? Firefox 3.6.15 and Adobe flash player 10.1.82.76 are currently installed.
Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82 is not the latest version of Flash. '''r152''' is the latest.

Hello,
How to I increase the space between the top of tabs and the frame of the entire window? It was fine until Firefox updated and since it updated it reduced the space. Now the space is too thin which makes it more difficult to move the open window frame around when I need to grab something from Desktop. Image attached.In the image, see how thin the space is right above the tab? It was much wider before Firefox update so if any know how to make it wider again, please let me know. Thank you
