Firefox ESR 10.0.12 disables the flash plugin - updates to the latest version do not work?
Suddenly - without the measures taken by me - FF ESR 10.0.12 refuses to accept Adobe Flash? (System Win 7 Ultimate 64)
It started with a very boring bar, which cost me 2 hours to turn it off, which told me to update a plugin from Adobe Reader very old and unused. Then, he insisted, that the Foxit PDF reader plugin is not updated. Because I do not use it, I disabled too. Since I rarely use Flash, I just found out today, that youtube does more - FF insists, that my flash plugin is too old and there it turned off.
It has cost me hours so far and this is _exactly_ the reason why I use the channel of the ESR.
What I did:
Have completely uninstalled Adobe Flash (using Windows). Used the normal Firefox update, which he would recommend (your flash drive has been disabled, please install...). Without success, it simply goes in a loop, always telling me that my flash player is too old.
I also installed directly from Adobe (version Firefox!), in all cases, it reports version 11.5.502.104. The latest version of Adobe-, but it seems to be too old?
I'm spitting angry now - this kind of disorder is the reason that I only use Mozilla's ESR versions. I don't want your troop of chaos to play with the installation of _my_. But obviously, you have found ways to do it.
If this is not resolved (and no, I do _not_ reinstall Firefox, I'm not going to delete my profile) in a few days, Firefox is dead to me. I'm already with Chrome and Opera. Many friends have these browsers - I am a bit conservative and I want as my stable browser and look a feeling must also be stable. I do _not_ want a new version every two weeks, which costs each time that my effort and time to configure it as I want.
The question is: How did you disable the latest version of Flash and why? Why do I now register here and investing valuable time to get my browser to work again? If I had done something, install or remove something, okay. But I did not. (And Yes, so far I have day Flash and other plugins, when I was invited to do)
Clearly _your_ management works the _not_: if I use solutions which FF itself recommends, it sends me into an infinite loop: install newer Flash, sorry, Flash is obsolete, install latest Flash...
Is this the new "security"? Bah. If you have done for the 'normal' user (which you obviously don't respect any more), you have not. And you have not completely for me: If software insists on doing things 'automatically', it should make them less reliable, it should ask _or_. But work in the shadows, change things, reports nothing and then failing is exactly the reason why I disable things to "automatic" and want to be _asked_ before some silly piece of c... deconfigures himself - and stops working...
The following troubleshooting tips:
At this time, Flash player is installed, presents in the list of systems as "Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin" software, Version 11.5.502.146. The others are my normal plugins. Several changes to about: config were made by me in order to do usable FF again, without harassing the bars 'info '...
Found: in some sort plugin.scan.plid.all entry disappeared from my setup under "subject: config'." It simply no longer existed.
After much research and cursing I found and reinstated, with the Boolean value 'true '. Now Flash Player is once again, and it seems to work. The horse is gone. Also, I was able to uninstall the old plugin Adobe Reader and FoxIt Reader plugin, which I haven't used for a long time (format PDF download always locally). It helped, because the annoying nag window went away, and I could reactivate other options that I had to disable, to get rid of a bar/window indicating the information known about a plugin that was disabled and not used anyway. (It started with 10.0.12 update, I think)
Comment: It's unnecessary _completely_ for me (plugin was the last version of anyway, because he has a service life of update and updates without FF). It took me 2-3 hours of precious time.
Could you please consider:
(1) INFORM the user about the problems and not more stupid click me once windows with standard chat text. Even Microsoft, not known for their openness and user information, was able to inform me of updates of _what_ _avant_ I install them and _why_ I should install them.
2) more information in the windows plugin/extension, so there is no chance of finding problems.
(3) STOP the condescension and mothering the user, at least as an option, so we can choose it. Because if someday leave FF forever, it will be the main reason. I REFUSE to install automatically. I am _responsible_ to my computer. If someone or something moves for example illegal data on it, I can't use the excuse that this was done 'automatically '. I want to know how, when and WHY an update or something is installed. So please stop this patronizing.

I noticed that when I'm on Firefox 3.6.28, try to look for something, not looking but sometimes opens directly the most appropriate result. It's amazing and really fast. Why this feature is not included in the latest version.
Thank youWhen you type words in the address bar, Firefox will search using any motor is selected in the search bar. You can install a "Browse by name" or a "I m Feeling Lucky" search engine
If you want the search engines separate in the address bar and the search bar, install the module keyword search.
The reasoning was that 'Browse by name' and "I m Feeling Lucky" are far from perfect. Rather than risking to send users to sites that are not what they were looking for, it was decided that always show the results of the research was a better option.

I uninstalled firefox, but impossible to reinstall because the internet explore is not work
I wanted to reinstall firefox so I went to add/remove prog. and deleted.
Now, internet explore is not working. I don't know how to tell if its disabled because of firefox making previously.
The reason to install it again was because he stopped to hold my passwords.
I have a second computer that I use to communicate with you.Hi zaqzaq,
You can download the installer of firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/) on your second computer, copy it to a flashdrive and then install it on your first computer.
I don't ' think that firefox does nothing to internet explore. The only thing I can think is that you may have firefox as default browser. However, would not prevent Explorer to work. If your question is about what's wrong with explorer, it might be useful to a microsoft forum.

I am hesitant to install the latest version of firefox because when I updated previously it was not compatible with Roboform, so I uninstalled and reinstalled the old version I was using before I use Roboform. Has something changed with the compatibility issue?
Hello askin4me, the addon compatibility always depends on the third-party developer adapting to the latest version of firefox. then you'd have to enquire about roboform on this issue...

Older versions of Firefox are working perfectly, but the latest version does not open.
Mozilla Firefox version 34.0.5 (x 86 en - us) when loaded down does not open. I tried to change the Admin, but to no avail. I rebooted the previous version of firefox and it worked perfectly until it was replaced with the automatic update. I have a laptop Asus G74S model with Windows 7.
It should not. The subscription expires, the program stops working.
All that has to happen is you get a warning to re - register. If you
wish, you can contact their support and ask about it.
Did you remove this program? -

FTP://FTP.Mozilla.org/pub/Firefox/releases/3.6.24/Then go to the win32 (Windows) folder, and then find the locale you want, if she is en-US, go to ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/3.6.24/win32/en-US/ and download the Installer (.exe).

Here's the answer:
I just got the phone with McAfee Technical Support is turned off and since a few minutes ago, McAfee Site Advisor is NOT supported on newer versions of Firefox, IE or Google Chrome!
I was told that if I wanted Site Advisor to work I needed to go back and reinstall and use an older version for each browser.
I just got a call from McAfee Site Advisor monitoring works now with Firefox & Google Chrome, and not in IE... that doesn't matter to me because I use NEVER IE!

It worked very well some time, but now is broken. I reset everything on my desk to see if it was a question of database, but the desktop synchronizes very well.
There is a new version of Firefox Home in the app store (v 1.1) which should fix the problem. If you use Firefox 4 beta there is also a new version out or if you use 3.6 and synchronization module, there is a new version of this also.
