Disabling ZoneAlarm firewall up-to-date Firefox doesn't help security.

Continues to display a Firefox update to v 9 - something - something upward, but it says a "plugin" that is incompatible will be disabled until it can be made compatible. The plugin is identified as something, or "ZoneAlarm". I don't want my firewall disabled so I did not authorize the upgrade.

Yet there is a version of Firefox 10 - which is no longer compatible with ZoneAlarm? If so, is there a reason I shouldn't switch to v10? I am running XP on a Dell Optiplex 320 with a Pentium 4.

My apologies for not having a nbrs exact version or the exact text identifying the plugin. (I'm an old man, and the memory is not so good.) I should have tried to cut and paste the exact message, but I hope that there is enough information here for someone who knows about it to be able to help.

If this isn't the case, I'll wait until the next time that I see the upgrade (on starting Firefox), copy everything and come back with details.

Thank you very much.

Firefox would not disable a firewall or any part of an antivirus application, it only disables the incompatible modules which are far from being necessary.

Contact ZoneAlarm support and ask about the availability of an update for the ZA for Firefox Add-on. It is almost 2 weeks since Firefox 10.0 is released - January 31.

  • Firefox doesn't recognize flash drive

    I have the version 19,0,0,226 of the flash player installed. Shockwave 19.0 r0 and shockwave for plug ins Director 12.2 version are installed, and then set it to always activate. I tried firefox 40 and 41, and it will not work with both versions. (I went back to 40 until the Norton toolbar will work with 41) If I right click on a video of the shock wave I receive no information about shockwave. It works on Internet Explorer. I did uninstall using a Shockwave unistall program, rebooted and reinstalled and it does not solve the problem no more. Start firefox in safe mode disables shockwave doesn't help either. Any suggestions?

    I wasn't even today. I discovered thanks to eradication as a plug-in called classic restaurant theme has been the cause of the problem, at least this time. I'll see if it's the ultimate solution.

  • Firefox asked a "refresh", computer locked up before finished, created a "old data FireFox file on the desktop.

    Firefox asked a 'refresh', I pressed the button refresh and process running, computer then locked up to complete before. He has created a "old data file FireFox" on the desktop. I need to understand how trasfer the data in the old file of data in my FureFox 'new' to allow me to access my bookmarks and other. Thank you!

    Hi Ken, Firefox will not start now, complaining that it cannot find its profile, or it starts up, but data are incomplete?

    Here is a procedure to return to your prior to refresh the data. It takes 5 minutes, but it's probably faster than the recovery of individual data files and those in a new profile from loading.

    Check inside the folder 'Old data Firefox' update adds on your desktop in a folder with a name random semi. If there is only one, that probably has your old settings and Add-ons. If there is more than one, you'll want to work with one who has been updated recently.

    Once you have identified the profile folder, that you want to restore, here is my "old profile resurrection suggested procedure:

    Overview

    Here are the steps described in more detail below:

    1. Create a new Firefox profile
    2. Delete all of this profile folder
    3. Copy in all of the old profile folder

    Create a new profile for Firefox (Windows)

    Out of Firefox and start in the Profile Manager by pasting the following text in the search box of the start menu, or the start > Run dialog box and pressing ENTER:

    firefox.exe -P
    

    Note: any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

    Click on the button create a profile, give it a name like OldSettings and skip the option to change the location of the folder. Select the new profile from the dialog box, and then start Firefox.

    Open the new profile folder in Windows Explorer

    Firefox in the new profile should look like a new installation of the plant. Open the troubleshooting information page by using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • Menu help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table, click on the view file"" button. Firefox will launch your new profile folder in Windows Explorer.

    This folder open, switch back to Firefox and get out by using either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Firefox is closed, the profile folder must be front and Center, or you can activate it by using the taskbar.

    Copy old data instead of new

    In this new profile folder you just popped open - NOT the one on your desktop - select all content (you can use Ctrl + a) and delete (you can press Delete on the keyboard).

    Leave this window open, open or switch to your folder of old data of Firefox. Consult your old profile folder. At this level, you should see a folder named bookmarkbackups among other things.

    Select all (Ctrl + a) and copy (or right-click > copy or Ctrl + c).

    Switch to the empty profile folder in another window and paste (or right-click > paste or Ctrl + v). This may take a few minutes because some files are large.

    Launch Firefox

    Firefox should start in this 'new' profile with the old resurrected profile data. Success?

  • I did a Reset of Firefox - how can I add my 'old data firefox' back?

    I did a reset of Firefox which was a mistake because it does not solve my problem.

    In any case, I now have a file 'old data firefox"which include things like Ad Blocker more so how I put all these programs in Firefox yet?

    When you reset Firefox and a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, data form) are automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved on the desktop to a folder "Old data Firefox".
    Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, Pref.) that you have made are lost and must be redone.

    It is possible to retrieve the data from the old profile, but be careful not to copy the files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

    See:

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    Hello your useragent (information, the browser sends to websites to identify its version) - apparently by mistake - shows this:

    I use firefox for internet access through my University proxy. I type my password and my user account.

I can't even say for sure IF it I MISS SOMETHING IN MY FIREFOX BROWSER WORK NOW that has BEEN REGISTERED IN THIS BACKUP orrrrrrrrrrr do not? [email protected] Lescot

    If you have an 'Old Firefox Data' folder on your desktop, then you must have used the function "Reset Firefox", or help-> troubleshooting information page, as shown in the screenshot in this article, or in Firefox Safe Mode window, illustrated here.

    See Firefox Refresh - reset modules and parameters for more information on this feature.

    You don't need the "Old Firefox Data" folder, but you can move it to another location on your computer as a backup, if you wish. It is unlikely that you have set this folder as your current residence of profile. To find out which folder Firefox is currently using for the data in your profile, visit using Firefox-> troubleshooting information and click the Show folder. This will open the profile folder of Firefox under Windows. On Windows 7, the default Firefox profile folder would be located here (where "username" is your Windows logon user name and xxxxxxxx is a random string))

  • I try to get Firefox to open Vuze when I click on a magnet link, I get the following message: Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the Protocol (loving) is not associated with any program. tell me the solution

    When I try to open a torrent using magnet, I get the following message. Firefox doesn't know how to open this address because the Protocol (loving) is not binding to any program.

    I had this problem and just reinstalled Firefox. Problem solved. In my case, I believe that it is through the installation of FlashGet. Although I uninstalled FlashGet, it had outstripped the Magnet links / Protocol. I hope this helps you with your instance. Fortunately, I had Setup for my version of Firefox (7.0.1) registered and used that but you might need to search for your current version or install a later version
