Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:
- Microsoft safety scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit utility
- Hitman Pro

How can I get Firefox worm. 29 in order to work with Silverlight on windows 8.1
I noticed that this problem does not occur in version 28 of Firefox. For some reason any when I try to go to Netflix, I can connect but I can not play videos without receiving an error message 2103 with Silverlight. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Silverlight 5 times 64-bit and 32-bit versions. It worked last night, but for some reason it work at all. So I went back to version 28 of FIrefox and the problem disappeared. I would also like to note that this problem is not the case with Chrome or IE11.
I use Firefox Beta, so I had 29 for awhile. Silverlight works very well, and I use Netflix without any error. I use Windows 7 64-bit, so I can't say why it will not work on Windows 8.1. If all goes well, it gets fixed because I'm updating soon.
Just a quick note: make sure you have the latest version of 32-bit of Silverlight. The 64-bit version will work on IE11 if you have a 64 bit system.

How can I get FireFox to work on the first version of the Google ChromeBook? Everytime I open it it said to update or upgrade to FireFox and make it your main page. So I downloaded it and it's open once it is installed, but then a message appears that says "can't stand" search for an application that supports FireFox and its software, or something of the sort. I was sitting here with a full battery when I started and now it is dead... and I still don't have FireFox on my ChromeBook.
What do I do now or how do I get it to work? And if it just simply won't work on a CHromeBook then they need to have that riht out in the open.
Hello
I had a peek in this and was informed that Firefox does not work on Chrome OS.
It is designed and done a little differently from the likes of Windows and Linux and will not support another browser being installed.

Also, in my efforts to download Flash, active Firefox IE that made me concerned that would cause problems that our just leave me where I am now, instance where IE can use a bottle but Firefox cannot.
Internet Explorer uses a version of the Flash player ActiveX plugin as it does not work with other browsers.
Download the version of the https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html Plugin-based browsers and make sure Firefox is closed when you install it.

Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.
A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.
(If you use it, switch to the default theme).- You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + by pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.
Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.
If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

Before, when I typed an http address in my hotmail account, it could be highlighted; Since I have firefox, it is NOT highlighted. How can I get firefox to highlight an http address when I type it?Do you mean to create a clickable hyperlink while composing a new mail?
Just above the text box that allows you to enter the text of the message, there usually a bar of buttons with buttons to add updated text in shape like the bold and italic.
This toolbar can also have a button to activate a clickable hyperlink text link (look for a string like button).
You can select the text and click on this button to activate the link into a clickable hyperlink.
If you can not find the button, and then move all the to check the ToolTip of each. -
