I updated my Firefox to a level, 29, my sys Op can't handle; XP?

I have Windows XP SP 3. Firefox starts slow, slow short and often crashes. I see script error messages, referring to Flash Player or Shockwave player, throughout each session.
I'm supposed to be connected via high speed internet, 100 Mbit/s, powered by Bright House cable.
I added Adblock Plus to my Firefox and my IE 8, the latest version that I can't, but rarely use.
I use a "my msn" homepage.
I wonder if I would get better performance with an older version of Firefox.

According to system requirements, it should work, given that the minimum is XP SP2.

You can try to reduce the number of connections in Network.http.Max - connections. The default value is now 256, but I found that 128 works better.

  • When I update to Firefox, it changes all my fonts. How can I stop if so?

    I have windows 7. I'm stuck on 21.0 Firefox. Each update since then has changed my fonts to the point that I can't get back them. Even when I go and re - change fonts for what they should be, it is not correct. I need to restore my system to 21.0 to recover the correct fonts. I have several programs that I need the fonts to use them properly.

    I had the same problem. Thanks for the info above on how to solve this problem. To summarize how to fix:

    • Open a new window in FireFox.
    • Put this in the address bar: subject: config
    • You will see a list of parameters.
    • Search for: layout.css.devPixelsPerPx
    • Just right click and edit, and then enter a value like 1.0
    • Open a new window of FF and surf any web page.
    • If the width looks ok, you are finished with layout.css.devPixelsPerPx.
    • If the width is not ok, change layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to a slightly different number. On my system, I used 1.03.
    • After that, you can change your font size settings.
    • To do this, tap the tools, Options menu, content.

    The cause of the problem is newer versions of FF had the new thing called layout.css.devPixelsPerPx and its value has not been correctly initialized. The problem occurs to anyone who will update to the new version. It is a bug and should be fixed in the software.

  • How to stop updates of Firefox

    So we have this system of helpdesk at work called cure (I make no bones about this, it should be called disease at least in the form my company has put into it) but that's what we have, I can't change that. I generally use Chrome to create changes in the remedy, but I need to use Firefox to create work orders because Chrome doesn't handle well in the menus of the repair.

    Now, Firefox, which is my browser of choice in all other circumstances, work well with the remedy (I'm not convinced that anything done) and when it updates, currently at version 39.xx, he continues to work with the cure... something to do with the different-Hellman encryption. I can solve this problem by reinstalling v38.05 but then it puts day and goes pear shaped. So I uninstall and reinstall and it works again... until it updates.

    The solutions I've tried are (each time preceded by a version 39.x uninstall and reinstallation of v38.05):

    1. in the Firefox Options / Advanced assured that "never search for updates (not recommended: security risk)" has been selected.

    2 custom install Firefox v 38.05 with no maintenance service (the above, Options / Advanced settings seem to be maintained throughout the uninstall/reinstall).

    3 custom install Firefox v 38.05 with no service maintenance and that all executables and dll read-only. Once again all of the above is the same.

    4 custom install Firefox v 38.05 without maintenance service, deleted the files maintenanceservice.exe and maintenanceservice_installer.exe from the Mozilla Firefox folder and renamed updater.exe updater.old. Go to help / about Firefox and deliberately run an update. This "installed" but, the browser is restarted, brought a dialog box saying there is a problem (I don't remember the message). Allowed the browser to download the new full version, which forced a second reboot and an error dialog box that I then closed.

    5 restart Firefox after you create a file user.js in profile folder that contains:
    turn off the updates of the application:
    user_pref ("app.update.enabled", false);

    6. check about: config is disabled for the automatic update:
    App.Update.auto - false
    App.Update.Enabled - false
    App.Update.Silent - false

    That's all... all this absolutely does not prevent updates of Firefox and, as far as I can tell, I did almost everything it is humanly possible to prevent update Firefox outside ditching it completely (which I certainly don't want to do) but there seems to be no way I can stop the update of Firefox.

    I'm sure it's 'fault' of BMC Remedy, but I can't change what makes the company, I'm just a small cog in a big machine, but I can't (or should be) change things on my own system. I can not just when it comes to Firefox which, in addition to being frustrating, no sense... why the Mozilla team would create a product with options to stop the updates that the application simply ignores?

    Well, hang on, it sounds as if the real problem is that the server tries to use an obsolete encryption encryption algorithm that is vulnerable to the attack of the impasse that was in the news earlier this year.

    What does that mean?

    Even if you trust the server, a "dead end" attack compromised the security of your individual connection on the server, a lowering of the protection normally provided by SSL to a level that is easily cracked and read by others on the network. This is why Firefox protects you to establish this connection.

    What can you do now?

    The best solution is to update the server. Please ask for the protection of everyone! However, I suspect this is out of your control and could not happen soon. To work around the problem, you can try to disable these old ciphers in your Firefox, which I hope it will force the server to try some more secure encryption algorithms when connecting with you. Here's how:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste dhe and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_128_sha to true to false (disable Firefox to use this encryption)

    (4) double click on the security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_256_sha preference from true to false (disable Firefox to use this encryption)

    Try again the server; You may need to reload the page using Ctrl + Shift + r to ignore information in cache.

    Success?

  • Update of Firefox, and now all of the web pages and icons are inflated. How do I put back it as it was?

    Update of Firefox, and now all of the web pages and icons are inflated. How do I put back it as it was?

    Hello

    Firefox on Windows is now after display, scaling options that can make the biggest text on screens at high resolution.
    You can adjust the resolution of your screen.
    To change it follow these steps:

    • Type of topic: config in the Firefox address bar and hit the Enter key.
    • If the warning that this might void your warranty , click I'll be careful, I promised.
    • Search for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx

    • Double-click layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to edit its value. The default value is - 1.0 in Firefox 22 and above. Change it to 1.0 to run as in previous versions of Firefox.

    If necessary, further adjust the value of 0.1 or 0.05. Values between 1.0 and around 0.5 to reduce the size of the elements. Use a value greater than 1.0 to increase the size. For example, a value of 1.25 will increase the font size of the 125% to account for the default DPI setting in Windows 8. Check the value that you enter. Definition of a value that is too small will take everything away and too high will explode things.

    If the web pages should always be adjusted so you can watch the extension Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint .

    To adjust the font size for the user interface, you can use the extension of theme font & size changer .

    This solve your problems? Please report to us!

    Thank you.

  • updated 22 Firefox does not work as before with nosquint

    After the update to Firefox, my web pages are up to twice the size they were before the update. NoSquint shows that size is up to 200%. None of my old tabs show a page in a readable format. Can I change the size of each page, but if I restart Firefox, all my pages are huge again. If I disable NoSquint, page size is much more reasonable, but I still need to make slight adjustments for each page. I also went in Firefox/Options/content/fonts / colors and tried different settings without success. Ideas?

    Hi AlaskaSalmon, deletes or renames files of parameters used actively safely are made when you exit Firefox.

    22 Firefox now adjusts the zoom level of the page according to your settings in Windows, to better support high DPI displays. If you have a medium setting (e.g. font size, 125% / 120 DPI), for example, you can expect the content area will be enlarged 25% before even that NoSquint comes into play.

    You can try disabling NoSquint and see if the new size by default, associated with the site Ctrl + and Ctrl-satisfies your needs.

    Alternatively, if you want to continue to use NoSquint and avoid this new content zoom, you can set Firefox 22 use of sizing of 100% in the content area. In this case, the area of "chrome" (menus, toolbars and tabs) won't be not either zoomed in and will appear smaller. There is an add-on for this, of course: police theme & size changer. You might want to install first and choose a font size of large size in anticipation of the next step.

    To give a try,

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the filter box, type or paste the pix and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click layout.css.devPixelsPerPx and change its value 1.0 for a content area not zoomed.

    You can find a combination that works well for you?

  • After the last update of Firefox, youtube videos do not play. The answers I've found are not relevant or too complicated.

    After the last update of Firefox, youtube videos do not play. The answers I've found are not relevant or too complicated.

    Hi Cbella, YouTube is generally used with an HTML5 player, who is a player who does not use a plugin video in MP4 format (for example, it does not use the Flash plugin).

    Now, I based this assertion on Windows, Mac may vary.

    Could you do two tests for me?

    Test #1:

    To verify which player you see (which does work), try a right click or Ctrl + click on the YouTube Player and check the "context menu" that rises. If it's the Flash, there will be a menu short, referring to the Flash on the last line. If you do not see that, if you get a regular menu of Firefox, it's probably the HTML5 player.

    Are what player you?

    Test #2:

    If you open the following test page, which videos to play?

    http://www.quirksmode.org/HTML5/tests/video.html

    • The video "H.264/MP4" play?
    • The video "WebM" play?

    Thank you.

    Also, you can check if your Flash plugin is up to date? You can use the site Mozilla Plugin check for this (please ignore the other plug-ins page wants you to update at the moment avoid making the situation more complicated):

  • Many problems of navigation of Web pages since the update to Firefox 41

    Since the last major update to Firefox a few weeks ago, I had problems during the use of the buttons such as home, end, Pg Up, Pg down when scrolling through Web pages.

    If I press the end, it must be placed towards the bottom of the page, but it usually scrolls a little distance or doesn't do anything. When I'm way down on a Web page, press home should take you to the top of the page. However, he did this on rare occasions. He general scrolls upward further DOWN on the page, scrolls a little lower than the top or doesn't do anything.

    PG. PREC and PG. Prev are similar as well. PG down repeatedly scrolls wayyyyyyy upward or down and Pg up wayyyy goes upward or down... or nothing at all.

    Updating to FF 41.0.2, I had hoped that the problem has been resolved, but alas, the question remains, and so I decided to post this. I tested this on other browsers such as Chrome and MS Edge and they use keys properly.

    Any advice? Thank you.

  • Firefox will not open even for a split second, shows the page to update norton toolbar in this time and closes before I can even click on anything whatsoever

    Firefox refuses to stay open for half a second. I deleted everything regarding Firefox on my computer, have run Norton Power erasers, am running a full system scan, and even tried to see if Norton was blocking it somehow. I don't know if it's some sort of error, processing, because the last time it worked he asked to update to firefox, and then he said that it was not compatible with the norton toolbar. After update, it crashes like this. I have re-installed many times off my internet, checked the Task Manager and nothing. I have no idea.

    System: Windows 7 32 bit, running on an eMachines computer. Never had this problem before.

    I actually ran it as administrator and it seemed to invite firefox finally to do whatever the heck he was doing. Thanks for the help!

  • Hello. I installed the latest update of Firefox and when I start a new tab page displays not now my entry from google line.please help.tks

    Hello. I installed the latest update of Firefox and when I start a new tab page displays not now my google input line. I use Windows 10. Until the recent update (v4.1.01) each time I started a new tab the new page would show the google search entry line which is my default. Can help you to restore this feature? TKS

    Hi, 41 of Firefox, you must use the add-on tab override (browser.newtab.url replacement), to make changes to the page tab.

    Once installed, open the Add-ons (Ctrl + Shift + A) Manager > Extensions, and then look for the new tab override and click Options to set your preference.

    Notice, if you want only the new tab to be the same as your home page, you can use the Add on new tab homepage instead.

    You will then need to restart Firefox for all changes to take effect.

    If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

    I've recently updated my firefox to my laptop. No longer can I do a search with Google without getting a message that the address of the site/is not secure. How to cancel? The only search that allows me to see whatever it is is Yahoo that I prefer not to use.

I must tell you that I have strongly dislikes this upgrade and want to return to the old Firefox.
