Latest Version of Firefox with Win XP Pro SP 3
I have Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 and I was wondering if it supports the latest version of Firefox and if it works well on it. I have not updated it since 3.6.28 because I didn't really like not the look and my mother was having all sorts of problems with his and Adobe. I recently lost my Norton Toolbar which was on top during the last update for 3.6 is released. I plan on upgrading soon and I was wondering if it would work on it. My moms comp its adobe crash there and its browser sometimes won't reopen after be closed.
Hi demonicvampiregirl,
Have you looked at the page system requirements for Firefox 11:
http://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/11.0/system-requirements/
I think you'll be fine. It has some pretty significant performance on the 3.6 series so improvements.
Hope this helps!

latest version of the OS for Macbook Pro 7.1
Dear users: My MackBook Pro 7.1 (Intel Core 2 Duo 2. 4 GHz, 4 GB RAM) works with 10.6.8 Snow Leopard OS, so, I can't put Java to its new version 1.7 or 1.8. This limits the compatibility with access to bank account and tax return to the Brazil software.
Should we or could I switch to the latest version of the OS, as 10.7?
Well, you're a 2110 so according to system requirements, you should be able to upgrade.
How much RAM do you have?

Since I have updated to the latest version of Firefox a few days every time I click on a link, or in a dialog (like this one) or try to pin something to Pinterest, a reading of google window opens. I have no new pluggi-ns and no Add-ons. I also scanned my cpu for viruses and none were found. What is originally this issue that drives me crazy, and how can it be solved?
To eliminate if it is a corrupt add on or plugin, please check if it happens in a new profile with just the pintrist on. This will tell you if it's a combination. Use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox
Also sometimes an antivirus does not detect a virus that would be another. 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
- Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.
More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .

Behavior of toolbar button broken in WYSIWYG in the latest version of Firefox desktop
We use a WYSIWYG editor for adding and editing the content of some Web sites that support us. With the latest update of Firefox, toolbar buttons to clean up the contents of the Clipboard as RTF or plain in gray text when the cursor is placed inside the editable text box. This bug is not exposed in any other browser and does not appear in the previous version of Firefox.
---
MORE INFORMATION
- Toolbar buttons do not disappear when the page is loaded; they can still be clicked to clean up the contents of the Clipboard until the cursor is placed inside the editable text box. While this will not break our editing experience if we could be guaranteed that our site editors have always been paste content into the empty text boxes, we cannot make that assumption. Therefore, the ability to place the cursor within the editable region before clicking on the toolbar buttons is essential and the disappearance of the buttons is a bug.
- Listed above, this behavior has been isolated as being only present in the Firefox browser, and only on the latest version of Firefox. Is attached a screenshot of the correct behavior, toolbar buttons disappear not when you click on the area of editable text in Google Chrome.
- When there are several areas of WYSIWYG text on one page, they are the object independently of the other. That is, clicking in grays only editable text one area on the buttons of the toolbar for this particular text box, and others remain clickable until the cursor is placed within their respective areas of editable text. Clicking outside an editable text area does not "restore" buttons to a clickable state. Once they dimmed, they seem to stay like that, unless and until the page is reloaded.
- Other buttons on the toolbar, such as those to insert/remove the hyperlinks, or make the text bold or italic, are not affected by this bug.
- Error was replicated on OSX Yosemite, El Capitan of OSX and Windows 7 Enterprise

DESCRIPTIONS OF SCREENSHOT
- chrome_latest_noerror.PNG - shows that the error does not place on the latest version of Google Chrome
- firefox_latest_error.PNG - shows the buttons disappear when the cursor is placed in the editable text box

Wow, you have a lot of scripts on this page... I see the behavior that you see, test on Windows. (By the way, I had to use HTTP instead of HTTPS.)
Edit: No errors appear in the browser Console to indicate a problem when clicking in the editing area, so disabling seems to be design in the editor, perhaps caused by a detection or object/property/method version detection problem.
Your version of CKEditor is quite old now, it seems to be from early 2013 3.6.6; This series had its last updated July 15, 2014 (3.6.6.2).
The current version is 4.5.4 and when I use the demo, the button works normally: http://ckeditor.com/demo
I don't know how to tease the difference and patch your current CKEditor. The ChangeLog mentions bugs for the gluing of the word several times: http://ckeditor.com/whatsnew
Can update you?

I have Windows 7 family on a laptop. I just downloaded the latest version of Firefox (v25) and Google as default search engine. Any site I enter in Google, I get the message 'Not reliable' site. I typed in BBC, Firefox etc. The message is:
This connection is Untrusted
You asked Firefox to connect safely on www.google.com, but we cannot confirm that your connection is secure.
My virus checker is Norton.
I read that the support forum and my date and time are correct. I have IE and Chrome with Google like search engine by default and is not the message when you access the BBC, Firefox etc.
This is the first time that Firefox has been downloaded to the laptop.
Please someone has an idea what is causing the problem.
I had installed BrowserSafe. As soon as I uninstalled Firefox worked properly.
Thank you very much for the advice.

Recently I've updated to the latest version of Firefox, and since I, Firefox loads and said: "the proxy server refuses connections."
Whenever I'll choose "No. Proxy" settings are always this:
HTTP proxy: 127.0.0.1 Port: 50424
Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

How to upgrade to Version 10.8.5 my MacBook Pro software version 10.7.5
How to upgrade to Version 10.8.5 my MacBook Pro software version 10.7.5
The latest version of Mac OS is 10.11 'El Capitan' and the upgrade only currently available free. Any computer capable of running 10.8.5 will run 10.11. My son and I both have the same model of MacBook Pro you and executed both El Capitan without problem. I upgraded my RAM 8 GB but its still has the original 4 GB and shows again no problem.
Any successful upgrade means that you must be free of any antivirus, internet security or so-called applications of "cleaning/optimization/tune-up. They will destroy the performance.
If you MUST have 10.8 you must buy it on the Apple store online (not the Mac App Store application on your computer). The purchase to the store link is here:
If you are not in the United States, please search in the Apple store online for your County using the "mountain lion".

What is the latest version of Firefox which can run unsigned module?
I downloaded the latest version of the installer of Firefox offline and it will not run an add-on unsigned vital. I have an older version of Firefox (42.0) who execute him. What is the latest version of Firefox without verifying signature of the add-on? Thank you.
42 of Firefox is the latest version of Firefox which has been made public. If you run a generation later, it's probably either every night, beta or Dev edition. If you have an add-on unsigned, you run in these editions, you can disable the requirement by setting xpinstall.signatures.required to false in: config.

Latest version of Firefox does not work on Win 7 64 bit
Downloaded the latest version of Firefox and installed on my newly built computer Win 7 64 bit. When I click on the shortcut of Firefox, it absolutely nothing happens. No processes appear in the Task Manager, nothing. Googled the question and I tried many patches recommended without result. At a loss on how to fix, Firefox is unusable at this point.
In the case where the program files were damaged during installation, you can try:
Clean reinstall it
(A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 41.0.1 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).
(B) delete the folder of the current program to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
(C) run the installer downloaded to (A). I'm NOT suggesting it as an administrator.
Any improvement?

In previous versions of firefox, I could use about: config to make the new tab opened as my home page. the latest version of firefox doesn't seem to allow this. I find it very frustrating that all the search engines seem to want to dictate what I see when I Browse. I wish to install the new version of firefox
In Firefox pref browser.newtab.url 41 disappeared. This pref has been hijacked by malware so frequently while Mozilla has decided to remove this pref to eliminate this kind of diversion.
You will need an extension like this one to restore.
https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/new-tab-override/Or to have your home page as the new tab page, try this extension.
https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/If you're using Classic theme restaurant, go to the options of CTR > general UI (2) and set your preference for the new tab URL there.
For Super Start , you can use the topic: superstart page.
