Several versions of Mozilla Firefox on my system
Hi I run windows XP SP3 and I noticed that I have the Firefox 3.5 & 5.0 as separate instances on my system. Can I safely remove version 3.5? The reason why I ask is probably that your software would have removed/update older versions when you apply updates? Confused, please advise, thanks, Barry
Hi Barry,.
I have deliberately run several versions of Firefox, but tend to be a version only Yes standard facilities and are often updated leading only the installation of a. Probably at one point you did a custom installation.
Pay attention by removing or uninstalling Firefox, it will offer to remove personal settings, or however it is worded, do NOT use this option, because it is likely it will delete all bookmarks and settings for all versions of Firefox.
Another idea is to make these two versions share the same profile , so you see exactly the same bookmarks and history in each version. (They probably not unless you or someone else has deliberately set up a separate profile, but worth the drive before you remove the old version)
So to summarize Yes it is safe to remove the old version, just use the XPs Control Panel uninstall option, but don't forget do not remove your settings.

The latest version of Mozilla Firefox uses the Gecko or WebKit engine?
And if your answer will be WebKit, tell me please what is the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, which uses the Gecko engine?
The only case Mozilla can never use WebKit is on IOS.
Is there a particular reason why you think that current Office Firefox uses webkit? It is not as if they can trade just get out the engine and do it without news of its spread all around tech sites.

I used Opera - got dull with it, now I want to use Mozilla Firefox, but I can not import anything from my old browser. While I was installing the new browser he asked me if I want to import bookmarks, history, passwords etc. of all other browsers and the only option was Microsoft Internet Explorer, there is no option where I could choose Opera...
OK, but I can not find where can I import into the new Firefox menu--which was part of the problem early - sorry I forgot to point out...

Setup program to create a customized version of Mozilla Firefox in an installer?
I run my own small technology company, and a requirement when it comes to optimizing the customer internet use is to install Mozilla Firefox. I have install a universal set of modules as well, and I hope that if there is a possible way to get a request for installation construction with support that could do. I would prefer if taken in charge by Mozilla to keep it safe and secure to use. This way I can take less time to install specific modules for each customer, and I would have less trouble to forget what modules to install.

But I cant Update since its not released yet for Linux.
Do not wait for the new Version to be published

You can get the update of Firefox 39.0 of in on your distribution package manager or you can get Firefox from www.mozilla.org or www.mozilla.org/firefox/all
If you choose to mozilla.org , sure it is 64-bit as 32 bits will not run unless you have the appropriate packages.
Mozilla does not updates for versions of others, including the packages provided by Linux distributions.

I have Mozilla firefox 38.0.1, so I can uninstall 30.0?
The only problem is that if worm 30.0 is not necessary to use the 38.0.1 worm, I would like to release the 69 megs, it takes on the hard drive.
Could you check and see if there are several files of Mozilla Firefox here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\
If you find that one, so I think that in fact Firefox 30 has been replaced by a newer version, but something glitched and Firefox 30 was left in the section uninstalling the Windows registry.

my version of Mozilla Firefox is 9.01. I put the start page my home page to the default North of Mozilla, which is Mozilla firefox. A pop-up came up saying "URL is not valid and cannot be loaded. I cannot find any info on the web of support and had to solve this.
This problem may be caused by a corrupt installation of Visual C++ or incomplete (several versions can be installed-by-side; SxS) it lacks certain runtime components (redistributable) which depends on Firefox (problem with an embedded manifest file that specifies a specific runtime version).
You need to install the missing components (for example, Redistrbutable end 2005 ++).

Is there a printable version of the Firefox iPad2?
It is my understanding that there is a version of Mozilla Firefox for an iPad2. Maybe ver.18? I can't be able to download a version of the iPad via Safari. Thank you.
George GarrettThere are no versions of Firefox for iPad because Apple won't allow competing web engines on their iOS devices. Until they change this policy it will never be Firefox on iOS.

After update of mozilla firefox and come here to help another user pointed out that I had several Flash plugins below. Before updating, I was updating from mozilla firefox and Adobe. Of course, things were NOT up-to-date. I managed to delete the obsolete Flash and Adobe Flash Player plugins. I just want to know what that "more" updated the plugin and the player are while I know that I have the last and am new. I do the last firefox update now and I use Windows 7. Thank you! You people here are the best!
Note that your system details list shows several Flash plugins.
Shockwave Flash 14.0 r0 Shockwave Flash 17.0 r0
The plugin for Firefox is called Shockwave Flash and the latest version is 17.0.0.188
When it installs, Flash by default to update automatically, but if you need to manually update, you can use one of these pages:
- https://get.Adobe.com/flashplayer/ (uncheck all the unwanted extras)
- https://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (one for the browsers 'plugin')

Hello, this looks like a problem maybe caused by adware on your pc. Please go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.). also, go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software you have in place and various other tools such as the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.
