• How can I prevent the 4.01 Firefox invites me to upgrade to the beta version 5.0? I want to stay with a stable version.

  I was a beta tester for Firefox 4, but I want to stay with the stable versions that are compatible with my plugins for now. Whenever I start Firefox 4.01, he pompts upgrade me to version beta 5.0, which he called an important security and stability update. In my view, 4.01 is the general release to date, and I would stop invites me to upgrade to a beta version of Firefox.

  It is possible that you are still on the beta update channel, if you have already installed a release candidate or a beta version of Firefox 4.

  You can check that in looking at pref app.update.channel on the subject: config page.

  To open the topic: config page, type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the 'Enter' key, as you type the url of a Web site to open a Web site.
  
  If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access this page.
  
  You can use the filter at the top bar of the on: page config to more easily spot a pref.

  If the value of this pref is beta so it is best to download and install the latest version of Firefox 4.0.x.

  Hello

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

• I accidentally let Firefox download the update to version 7. Unfortunately, I don't want to install it. Now, whenever I open firefox it asks to install the update. How to stop?

• Upgrade to the latest version - help / about window of Firefox does not display 'upgrade' as in instructions.

  I want to upgrade to the latest version but - Firefox Help/About - window does not display 'upgrade' as in the instructions. I can't find a function 'upgrade' anywhere else. How to pass? The version I have is - 18.0.1 - it came with this computer.

  In my view, that this computer has been hacked. Word began to do very strange things. We erased the hard drive and reloaded everything as it was originally when I bought it. I'm now get hacked online.

  Initially, they got in one of my credit cards last fall. That's when all this started. They had my AOL e-mail address. He also got your credit card balance, the minimum payment, the due date and even then the amount of the payment. They got in my Barnes & Noble account and now order does not. Now I believe that they got on my AOL account - one thing after another began to go wrong. I can't change this AOL user id/e-mail address since it's the captain and I would like to lose about 15 years of "stuff."

  The people who sold me this computer told me to use a free version of the antivirus. I'm very unhappy with him. I never had NO problem when I used fresh products of TrendMicro. These people also told me to use Firefox, because AOL uses Internet Explorer - what I already knew is like Swiss cheese.

  Now, I can't get an update of Firefox. Is this also a hack?

  Please help sort you can. Thank you for your time.

  It's probably just the Firefox update problems. go to www.getfirefox.com and download Firefox 20.0.1

• Signed extension presents itself as "could not be verified for use in Firefox.

  I have an extension that was signed by Mozilla that shows like 'could not be verified for use in Firefox. Proceed with caution"in the Add-ons Manager. I installed the extension by copying the file in ~/Library/Application Support / < provider > /Extensions/{id}/@name.xpi on OSX and %appdata%\Mozilla\Extensions\{id}\@name.xpi on Windows. When restarting Firefox 42 extension installs and works fine, except for the disturbing message. However, when I install the extension by dragging on the Firefox window, he moved very well and does NOT display the disturbing message.

  Is this a bug in Firefox or I install my incorrect extension and is incomplete documentation to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Installing_extensions ?

  My apologies for asking in the wrong place. I asked my question here: https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/signed-extension-shows-could-not-be-verified-for-use-in-firefox-message/5527

• Can my keychain Mac record passwords used in firefox?

  The keychain on my Mac doesn't seem to save the passwords used on Firefox

  Firefox stores passwords in a file in your Firefox profile (settings) file and not coordinate it with the system keychain. It can be an add-on that offers this feature, of course, be careful who entrust you your passwords.

• The following extensions are always safe to use with Firefox? Yahoo toolbar, McAfee WebAdvisor &amp; Skype click on call

  I had these extensions installed since February 2015, when I bought my new computer. They always worked very well, but this morning I noticed that each say, «McAfee WebAdvisor/Skype Click-to-Call/Yahoo Toolbar could not be verified for use in Firefox.» Proceed with caution. All of these extensions have been download from their respective Web sites. Should I worry about this?

  In the future, Firefox refuses to run unsigned extensions. However, the first step being taken in Firefox 40 is to warn you that you have a little so you can check the updates and/or inform the Publisher of this impending problem.

  I'm sure that these three companies are aware of this change. What they need to do, is to submit their Add-ons for Mozilla for review and signature sometime before Firefox 41 is available and no doubt they will be.

  If they are not, please complain to them!

• I use the FireFox browser, so what do I use it instead of Flash to be able to watch videos without going to Chrome, IE or another browser?

  Since Firefox is disable Adobe Flash, what do I use to watch videos or play games that require a Flash drive?

  Adobe released an update yesterday to solve critical problems, he admitted were in the 18.0.0.203 version. You can get 18.0.0.209 on this page:

  https://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

  In the first table, find the row corresponding to "browser plugin", and you can use either the EXE or the MSI installer.

  No one can promise that this kind of block will never happen. If that happens, if you are not accustomed to using the "Request to activate" feature a plugin, here's what to expect:

  When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and usually (but not always) one of the following values: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an information bar slides between the toolbar and in the page area.

  If you see a good reason to use Flash, and the site looks trustworthy, you can go ahead and click on the Lego-like icon in the address bar to allow Flash. You can trust the site for the time being or permanently.

  But some pages use Flash only for tracking or play ads, so if you do not see an immediate need for Flash, feel free to ignore the notification! It will just sit there in case you later want.

• I use Firefox for a kiosk application. Can I disable the context menu and zoom?

  I use Firefox for an application kiosk on a touch screen monitor. I will prevent users from interacting with the browser interface. Is there a way to do this? Disable the context menu and zoom for the touch gestures could prevent users from getting into a State where they are unable to use the application.

  Hi TrevorTubbs, you can disable the zoom in the browser with the method described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences & locking these preferences:

  lockPref("toolkit.zoomManager.zoomValues"; "1");
  lockPref("zoom.maxPercent"; 100);
  lockPref("zoom.minPercent"; 100);
  

  I'm not sure if disabling the context menu...

• YouTube seems to be blocking the use of Firefox (MaskingAgent?) on 2015 / 01 / 08

  • YouTube seems to be blocking the use of Firefox on 2015-01-08, let me (ATTACH) a screenshot.
  • I see that the default search engine (alias "recipes) for Firefox Google/YouTube, Yahoo has recently changed.

  This is due to the extension of the masking Agent, sending deliberately incorrect sites on the browser you use. I don't know if the extension allows you to make an exception for youtube.com and ytimg.com in order to work around the problem. If this isn't the case, you may need to disable the extension.

  You can manage on the page extension modules. Either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then find Agent masking and check for that option button. This is also where you would turn it off.

  (Often a link appears above an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click on the last step.)

  As far as I know, your default search engine is invisible to Web sites, so this probably isn't a problem. Or do you want to make a change here? This article has the steps: use the Firefox search bar.

• Firefox asked me to upgrade my sound system &amp; in the process, I have installed a Zombie and I can't uninstall it in Windows 7 via my control panel. Prva Nice

  Firefox asked me to upgrade my sound system & in the process, I have installed a Zombie and I can't uninstall it in Windows 7 via my control panel. I expected more of Firefox as a privacy feature!

  Sorry to hear about this, you should always beware of the pop-ups - never open or install anything, unless it is on the official website. Firefox has built-in features (and extensions that you need to find and install) to protect your privacy and security, but all users must still be careful with their browsing habits.
