Firefox

Is wise to put Firefox on desktop?  I wonder by company I work for and would rather not but thought that better ask more questions.

It depends on your needs and your personal preferences. If you get it, make sure that download you from the official site.

  • Sierra firefox

    After upgrading to "Sierra" (on late 2009 iMac) Google Spreadsheets seems to no longer work correctly - in Firefox: when I select a cell or attempt a transaction there are lo... delays NGOs - and I am informed that "script" is causing havoc!

    (Worksheets appear to work OK in Safari).

    Here's what happens: when I select a cell, I see the symbol of "Beach Ball". Shortly after, a (EU) dialog box appears - informing them that "a script is not responding" (or something similar - I use in Danish on the Mac).

    The remedies proposed are: "Debug", "Stop Script" or "continue".

    "Debug" presents the script (or part of it), but it is of no practical use. (Who knows how to fix an unknown script in a meaningful way?).

    "Stop Script" causes the 'Ball box' /Dialog (EU) of beach to reappear again and again.

    "Continuous" seems to remove the problem for the rest og the session - but the next time I open spread sheets I need to select 'Continue' once again!

  • Could not import Firefox bookmarks

    Using the last El Capitan (10.11.6) and Firefox 48.0.1.

    I have my favorites in Firefox and want to import them into Safari.

    I'm going on Safari, file / import of... / Firefox

    Select bookmarks, and then click OK

    It hangs for a while, and the CPU usage is 0%

    However, no imported Favorites appear in Safari.

    If I, instead, export as HTML in Firefox, I can import that uses the file / import of... / bookmarks HTML file.

    What I don't want is the 2nd option, because she simply creates a folder of bookmarks in Safari instead of map to good equivalents of Safari (toolbar, etc.)

    How can I go on Safari to recognize Firefox bookmarks in native mode?

    If the problem is still there, try to boot mode safe using your usual account to see if you can import.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

  • 10.6.8 using.  With Safari I can view the Apple start page.  OK, using Firefox.

    10.6.8 using.  With Safari I can view the Apple start page.  OK, using Firefox.  What happens in the last 24 hours. How can I solve this?

    You can solve it using only not the OS X version 10.6, Apple Safari here on out!

    Over the years, there were no updating security for what be for OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard!

    This version of Safari is obsolete and has not been safe to use for many years.

    There is one more, last recommended Mozilla Firefox web browser update complete (worms) 48.0.0 that is always available, and probably will be more safe to use until the end of the year.

    https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/desktop/

    Mozilla is complete, at the end of the present in August, full support for Firefox on OS X 10.6 - 10, 8.

    OR

    Guaranteed ONLY (not more new web browser feature) support for an earlier version of th is permanent to Mozilla Firefox, web browser (worms. 45.0.0) through their program of Firefox ESR, (that you CAN download, install and use) which will continue to receive the support of a security update to Firefox until next April 2017 for OS X 10.6-10, 8.

    You can use these versions of the ESR. Ignore the notes support educational/business.

  • How to add a link to a Web page directly on my firefox home page

    Safari has a function which, on their homepage, are small boxes that are links to Web sites, you go often to which is so useful. Can I do this with Firefox? I don't want to type in my goto sites every time, especially if I go to them every day.
    Thank you!!

    Fred mentioned using the bookmarks toolbar. See this article on this subject.
    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/bookmarks-toolbar-display-favorite-websites

    I don't use Safari in a good number of years, so I don't know what functions it has. The default Firefox Start Page / Home Page is incorporated into the code of Firefox and has no configurable element of the user where the user can add anything; However, it loads information from a secure server of Mozilla that changes from time to time.

    But you can define what you want to be "your" home page that appears whenever you open Firefox relatively easily.

  • How can I activate my disabled firefox update yahoo.toolbar?

    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/add-on-signing-in-Firefox#w_what-can-i-do-if-Firefox-disables-an-installed-unsigned-add-on

    Replace the module signature (advanced users):
    You can override this setting by changing the preference xpinstall.signatures.required to false in the Editor of Configuration of Firefox (topic: config typed in the URL bar). Support is not available for all changes made to the Configuration then editor please do so at your own risk.

    Note: This pref will be gone in Firefox 44 (expected release for 26 Jan 2016) for extensions currently unsigned user should contact the developers of these extensions and their prod in get their act together & get their extensions signed by Mozilla. Otherwise the users of these extensions will be GROUND come out of Firefox 44. Mozilla has already made back the version in which this new security feature should be activated from Firefox 40 to 44. I doubt if there will be a further reprieve.

  • Firefox crashes

    After the update to firefox43.1 this morning (19 December), firefox is in constant crash mode. I uninstalled and reinstalled 3 or 4 times still nothing does not.

    Came to print a pdf doc today, nothing had changed, not even turned off my PC, and instead of printing, I had 2 error messages as shown in the screenshots.

    When I click Yes on the change printer port I just get my printer Manager application will appear on the screen, nothing specific to the error.
