My computer is old and I am poor. Not enough ram for new ff! What can I do?
Hello. I have windows xp, a very old hand e-machines computer and only 368 MB of RAM and a processor intel of 3.33 GHz. Even on this very old version of firefox, I get a lot of error messages and crashes. I had a newer version but had to come back to this one, because there are too many bugs!
Now I get messages that my version (3.6.8)will soon be unsupported and have no security. I am very poor; I have no money to buy a new computer with all the latest bells and whistles just so that firefox will work: 1 gig of ram is Not gonna happen on THIS computer. SO... what do you suggest we poor folks do?
I liked firefox for years, but it seems to take place in the direction of Microsoft went: bulky, heavy programs, tons of software needed alongside more memory, tons of things, we don't want TO not but should have anyway. I guess that if you do not have terrabites now, you're not cool. This saddens me and excludes a large number of us who are poor.
It comes to my feedback and a call for help. I hope you ask my questions and tell me what version of Firefox, I can go to that will be supported for more than what I currently have. Firefox keeps getting slower and slower, the more is invented. I use it mainly for youtube videos, email and search and watch the other vids, I can barely do at home is no longer. I don't want to go, but if I have no choice. I also wish a lighter application that is very light on my limited resources. I have a lot; just a search bar; don't need even toolbars, other applications like google. Is this possible. even if I've had enough of everything for firefox 8 (which I did not)?
Thanks for any help you can give.

I lost my password and that you do not have a reset disk. What can I do?
Hello
any body can help me? I forgot my password to my windows 7. I have not created a password reset disk! Is there something else I could do?
What to do if you forget your Windows password

original title: lack of RAM
McAfee, unable to update as the only security base 256 and 512 MB of RAM required. As the computer is old and slow it is better to increase the RAM or better to invest in a new computer update. Would appreciate help in this case. Also as I'm pretty computer illiterate, please use the terms that I can follow. Thank you
Hi Kathleen Almeida,.
Because the computer is old, instead of upgrading the ram, you can buy new computer. I suggest you contact system manufacturer more about if you need to upgrade or buy a new computer.

Hello. I would like to activate my educational program CS3 (version 2007) on my new computer. Unfortunately, it does not accept my serial number. What can I do? I delayed the program on my old computer, but it does not accept the activation on the new laptop.
Make sure you use the correct serial number. Quickly find your serial number
If you do not disable the original installation, then it is possible that your two activations permits were used, and you need to reset your counter to activate. For this you must contact the Adobe Support via chat and ask them to reset your activations. If you ask for more than that they will tell you that they cannot offer you any support.

My hard drive crashed and I had to reload vista. I can not find the product key. What can I do?
Contact the manufacturer of your computer.
Look on the side/back if a desktop computer; down if a laptop.
Also look on any packaging the VistaDVD came, if you bought it yourself.
If the product key is lost, we can NOT help you replace.
See you soon.

Top Firefox toolbars and below are suddenly "floating", disappearing and appearing, and it is not convenient for me. What can I do? I need them to be there all the time.
Make sure that you run not Firefox mode full screen (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Ctrl + Shift + F).
If you are in full screen view then hover over with the mouse upward to make the bar appear Navigation and tab bar.
You can click the maximize button in the upper right to leave the mode full screen or empty space of a right-click on a toolbar and use "exit full screen" or press F11. -
