Yahoo says I should get firefox for yahoo - should I? what is it?

While researching a question on yahoo, I came across a suggestion to upgrade my browser to Firefox for Yahoo. What is this, and is it something I should be doing? I was looking at Yahoo help to find out why lately a lot of the attachments people email me don't appear or open, though I can open them when I forward the mail to a gmail account. Thankis.

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 DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • How do I get Firefox for Android to download and install?

    I had Firefox installed on my Android tablet, an Asus TF300T. I was notified there was an update so I clicked to let in install. I avoid auto updates as I need to use a website that is always a couple of versions behind in compatibility. Well, the update would not download and I tried several times. It just seems to time out (error 495 is reported). I tried uninstalling Firefox to attempt a fresh install. This has worked with other apps that were being difficult when installing updates. Now I still can't get Firefox for Android to complete a download in order to get it installed. What's the deal with this latest version? I'd like to get Firefox back on my tablet but the options are extremely limited and frankly the amount of help on the website is also extremely limited. Any help would be appreciated.

    From where you try to download Firefox for Android?
    Download it from [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox here]

    I was wondering if you ever figured this out. I have the same issue. When I try to use the support communities, there are so many with the same problems and never seem to be any replys?? Not very helpful and I can not get Apple to return my emails.

  • I was wondering how the advertised 10G multiple line plan that is running now is different from my current plan. Basically, why am I paying more now for 4G of data when Verizon is saying I can get 10 for the same price basically.

    NM

    Most of the advertisements running now are for Edge. You get discounts for having a smart phone on Edge based on the data package you have. What sucks is that most of the time they advertise a certain price for the monthly service and that is true but what they don't say is you add the Edge payments to that and most of the time it is around the same price as without Edge.
    If you think about this though, say you get a phone that is $24.99/month with Edge and you share 10GB which gives you a $25 discount, the phone is basically free and nothing is due at checkout. If you get a 2 year contract with that phone you pay the 2 year price of the phone and pay the same amount monthly.

  • How do I get Firefox for Android to OPEN a document instead of Download it?

    I have an android tablet and am using a web application that has links to Word documents. I need this to be very simple for the end user. By default Firefox downloads the file (which is on a share on our server). The user then has to find it and open it - too many steps.
    I cannot find Tools/Options/Application as there is on the Windows version.

  • Can I get Firefox for my iPad if not when?

    I see Firefox is only available for phone os

    Firefox from mozilla.org is for desktop Windows, Linux and Mac OSX. Also there is mobile Firefox for Android.
    There is no version for iOS due to restrictions though there is something coming for iOs in future, not certain if it will be a sync app like the old Firefox Home or a shell browser.

  • Everytime i click in something or i want to write its get stuck for 1 sec its what i can do to stop it?

    its like when i start write its get stuck for 1 sec and when i open new tab its get stuck everythink i clicke its get stuck for 1 sec

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] 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).

  • How do I get Firefox for Android to recognize the built in camera on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7plus running 4.0.4?

    The new Firefox works great on my Galaxy Pad, but does not recognize the built in camera allowing me to upload videos to the web. I do not have that problem with Dolphin.
    When I go to a website that allows me to upload videos and click on record, Firefox states that I do not have a webcam connected. The Galaxy Tab 7Plus has two cameras, one facing each direction. I do not have this problem with other browsers.
    Everything else is exemplary.
    thanks...............biff

    The native Android Youtube player does a much better job of handing video playback than embeded flash in a browser.

  • I cannot get Firefox to open, no matter what I do. Anyone know how to fix this?

    After a power outage, I cannot open Firefox 3.6.10.
    If anyone has any suggestions other than reinstalling the OS, please let me know.
    Thanks!

    Did you try a new profile?
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
