I keep trying to install the latest version of firefox and it does not work
I am running firefox 3.something, I think, and I keep trying to install the latest version on my mac. I have through save, open, drag the icon to my apps file... and when I drag my apps file, it takes a few seconds to do * something *, pings to me and then nothing after that. I try to open it and it tells me that I have to close firefox first, so I didn't (restart even) and when it opens again it still opens to the old version.
Looks like you are trying to install the latest version by downloading it from the Mozilla site. What happens if you try and install by choosing Firefox > Firefox in the Menu bar? Yet you say that Firefox is not updated?
Also, have you tried to uninstall Firefox using CleanMyMac or AppCleaner, for example and then install again? Please do not do this until you are satisfied you have saved all the information that you want to keep, first (passwords, etc.).

"Cannot display page" message, click a second site, it loads. Click on a third, 'not displayed page', click on a fourth, loads correctly. I am running Windows XP with the latest service pack, my machine has a large HD and sufficient RAM. I have not noticed this before the update to the latest version of Firefox. Problem with my computer? Or Firefox?
Note also that due to e-mails, you can also look on the forum
When you say
I tried IE and the same thing. However, things returned to normal after I rebooted my computer,
Do you mean that IE becomes so callous. If so it might be an indication that any fault is it is not Firefox itself.
You also said
I had to wait for it to screw up again, because it's not every time, every day.
If it is an intermittent problem that goes and comes there could be a problem with your internet connection or, for example, a WiFi problem; If this is how the computer connects.

I think the latest version is very slow when you access web pages. I want to return to the previous version to see if it's better. How can I go about changing back?
To return to the previous secure version which is 3.6.17, follow these steps:
- Go to Download Firefox v3.6.17 and upload it to the office.
- Then go to add/remove programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and delete it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, etc., the customizations (don't tick the box).
- Reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- Finally, run the installation file downloaded previously on the desktop.
Your bookmarks, etc., customizations are stored in a different location and will become available to you even once you complete the installation.
After completing the installation, go to the Plugins check page and update if necessary.
However, before go you that route, here are some tips to make it look like the previous version of FF4.
- Right-click on an empty part of the toolbar tab and click "Tabs on top" to remove the check mark. Tabs later reappears under the search bar.
- Repeat the same steps, but click on the top of the page, one called 'Menu bar '. This will restore the text at the top links.
- To rearrange the layout, repeat the same steps and choose "Customize". A Panel opens and who remains on the screen, you can move elements like toolbars, buttons etc. around and place them anywhere you want. You can also drag anything there that you don't like Panel and add anything you want by dragging it out of there.

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset preferences to default values.

Thunderbird installed the latest version, when I clicked "On Thunderbird" to check the latest version. I had no choice, it just started installation.

FAFSA is the form to fill out for financial aid for College. I need to fill out the form later for the spring semester of next year. Until I'm able to fill it in online and save and send to school. When I'm on the site and click on fill out a form, a message came that I didn't have the right version of my browser, so I downloaded the latest version of Firefox, and then restarted the computer and is returned to the site to try again and got the same message. Then I had two shortcut icons on my desktop and I can't say that one is for the latest version of Firefox.
When you download the latest version, it removes the last version that you had previously downloaded?Fafsa.gov site can't stand no more recent than the version of Firefox 3.6.x. It's their choice.
