• Security: Firefox for mobile phishing and fake Web site

  Firefox for Android mobile load the page title on the URL space.

  If a fake site Web put the name of the page as the user of the website address can be confused.

  Suppose that the Bank Web site is www.mybank6567.ext

  The fake site may be fakebank.ext this Web site can have a SSL and the name of the page on mybank65.ext can be the url of the originating bank.

  If the user opens hidden mobile Firefox link can be easily confused.

  Look try to open this URL from Firefox Mobile on Android https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/405 you must be logged on github.com after loading the page, if you see on top, it seems to be on the right site of the Bank, there is the simbol of lockpad, and the address that you read is the address of the Bank. The inexperienced user can be confusing.

  Oh, I'm sorry.
  It is very important issue and I hope that security of Firefox will be fixxed as soon as possible.

  Bad image for Firefox in this issue. Very dangerous.
  So here I end my question.

  Sorry, but I'm not registered in bugzilla and I won't record because I don't want to make my email address public so I hope more people continue to insist on bugzilla for this security problem.

• I don't have the option "use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox) for the Application PDF

  My accounting software runs on a Mozilla browser. When I saw the reports, it downloads it instead of preview of the report in a new window. My instructions are to go to the Options/Applications Mozilla browser and replace Portable Document Format "use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox) - but this option does not exist.

  In addition, how to add Applications?

  The plugin can be disabled, which means, set to 'never activate', on the plugins page. I think that the forum does not detect it when you posted (see Question details > System Details more).

  To verify that you can open the page modules using either:

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

  In the left column, click on Plugins. On the right side, look for Adobe Acrobat. If it is disabled, it will be down on a gray box.

  If your plugin is very outdated, it can be disabled for security reasons. In this case, I suggest entering your product Adobe (Reader or Acrobat) and using the Help menu > check for updates.

  Update the main program should also update the plugin. If all goes well then you will be able to use again.

• Firefox for Mac (latest version)

  Yesterday I installed the latest download of Firefox for Mac.
  It seems that I can't visit a Web site, because I always get the message that the certificate is issued by an unknown authority.
  I spent most of the day, find a solution and am fed up now with Ff I found several help pages, which suggests to remove cert8.db Ff is closed, reset Ff as well as several other solutions. I tried everything but nothing worked. No Web page has a valid certificate according to Ff.
  I know well with Ff I have used for years on Windows, Linux, and Android and never had problems of this kind.
  I'm on Osx 10.10.3 (released yesterday, April 9, 2015, with the last Ff available for Mac.
  (27.0.1)
  After spending a whole day to useless troubleshooting only one question remains: Ff is for Mac is not compatible with the new Osx 10.10.3?
  Thank you.

• Modules not available for Firefox for android

  Thank you.

• What are the features of Mozilla Firefox for Linux?

  I found an article about Firefox Desktop features. Linux and Windows have the same characteristics?
  If this isn't the case, I need to know the characteristics for Linux.

  Firefox for Windows, Mac OS x (10.6 +) and Linux (from mozilla.org) are pretty much the same.

  You can find some of the shortcuts from the Menu and KB is a little different on the three operating systems because of their BONES in the Human Interface (HIG) guidelines followed. May also have small differences in appearance.

  For example, tools-> Options on Windows is Firefox-> Preferences on Mac and editing-> Preferences under Linux.

  Adobe is kind of screwing with Flash by Linux users only supported Flash 11.2 with security updates.

• How can I force reload a page in Firefox for Android?

  I use Firefox for Android. Can how I force reload a page that Firefox does not account for the content in the cache?

  Firefox is not properly rendered http://news.google.com/ (page makes simply as a small white rectangle). I want to force Firefox to force the reloading of the page of the site rather than use the content corrupted in my cache. On the desktop, I can do that by pressing the SHIFT key and select Refresh from the menu.

  Many issues of the site can be caused by corrupted cookies or cache. To try to solve these problems, the first step is to clear cookies and cache.
  The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts and other parts of websites while you browse.
  
  Note: This will be you temporarily disconnect all sites, you're connected to.
  To clear the cache and cookies, follow these steps:

  1. Tap the top right menu. It is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices, you will need to press menu hardware key, and then click more.
  2. Press settings.
  3. After that, you will pass to the settings screen. In the display settings, look under the privacy and security section, and then select clear private data.
  4. You will then pass a list of which can be erased. Select the 2 following for deletion:
     • Cookies & active connections
     • Cache
  5. After they have been selected, press the clear data button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

• Will be released 13 of Firefox for Android?

  Download fate 13 Firefox on Android? The reason I ask is because for some strange reason, the stable version in the Google game store is still at version 10 (quite old now).
  I want to have the best features of Firefox, so I hope that 13 will be released and not overlooked like what happened in 12 or 11.
  Version 10 is also pretty slow, where the reason why I want to improve.

  10 Firefox for android has been updated with security patches, is the latest stable version. The developers decided to put a hold on the release of new versions while they finished 13 of Firefox. This is why there is no 11 or 12. There is no exact eta, but I bet it will be in beta (which is on Google game) in a week or two and published officially in 6 to 8 weeks after that.

• What is the URL from where I can download 10 Firefox for Mac?

  I can't use Firefox 11 for Mac because it does not yet support an add-on I need security. So, I want to go down to 10 Firefox for Mac in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

  However, I could not find the URL from where I can download these two versions of Firefox for Mac 10. Yes, I tried to put several keywords in the search field: 'Download' 'downgrade' etc. 'Firefox' "previous versions". I still couldn't locate the URL.

  Would you be kind enough to send me the URL?

  I found my own answer. This answer works for all versions of Firefox, not only for version 10, not only for the Mac.

  The URL is ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org.../releases/. From this URL, you then navigate to the directory (aka subfolder) for the version you want to download.

  Of course, you need to know how to download from an FTP: / / URL.
