Since the upgrade to the latest FireFox 3.6.12, it seems to crash a lot while surfing.

I've just updated today, and it seems that every website I visit causes FireFox hang. Windows Vista reports that FireFox unresponsive. I have no ID Crash info. Nice update!

I solved the problem by uninstalling my current firefox and download 3.6.12 using Internet Explorer. After you install the new 3.6.12, no more crashes. The new version seems more responsive than my previous version.

  • I have Firefox installed 42.0 and works correctly. Yahoo on Firefox indicates this, but Yahoo on Chrome keeps asking me to upgrade to the latest Firefox

    I use mainly Firefox and Chrome only as an emergency backup. I still have backup third IE and Yahoo by default, thus opening 'IE' takes me directly to Yahoo.com. In Chrome and this 'fake IE', Yahoo says to upgrade to the latest Firefox. I even updated a second time to 42.0 Firefox but Chrome and 'fake IE' Yahoo wants the latest update me of Firefox. In Firefox, there is none that question. If so, can or should be done?

    And I don't know how Firefox/Yahoo and non Yahoo/Chrome or IE/Auto-Yahoo acknowledges what version I am running.

    Browsers generally identify themselves to Web sites. If you want to see what your browsers send, you can use my test page - the "user agent" string is displayed in red:

    https://jeffersonscher.com/RES/jstest.php

    It is a little confusing: browsers may raise on behalf of other browsers to inform Web sites that they can deal with the pages designed for other browsers.

    But browsers do not send a list of ALL of your software on your computer - thank God - so if you visit a site with chrome, it cannot know which version of Firefox, you have, or even if you have Firefox at all.

    There is an exception to this absolute statement, called Flash Local Storage Objects, sometimes called super-cookies. If you visit a site in the browser F and allow the site to use Flash and store data on your computer, then when you visit the same site in the browser to C, if you allow the site to use the Flash, it can read these data and know that you have already visited and connect your two browsers.

    I've upgraded to the latest Firefox, but something prevents reading Web sites that I've updated. I already tried to uninstall and reinstall.

    At first, I thought it was a specific Web site, but I found that it is affecting my sites on a set path. Yet once, I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox. It doesn't seem to affect one of my other internet browsers.

    It would not be a problem, but most of the sites are demanding I upgraded and even disabling certain features until I do.

    Your user agent is corrupt and which identifies you as Firefox/3.0.13

    see your user agent:

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; RV:1.9.0.13) Gecko/2009073022 Firefox/3.0.13 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

  • I have a desktop Mac OS 10.2.8 which is the latest Firefox to download?

    I have a desktop Mac OS 10.2.8 which is the latest Firefox to download? Jaguar's later I can load on my Mac. I use it only to get/send mail Yahoo. What is the latest version, I use and where I can get it. Right now am running Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.20. Please let me know as soon as POSSIBLE. Thank you. I don't mean the update for my windows PC.

    From Firefox 3.0, 3.5, 3.6, the minimum for Mac OSX has been changed for OSX 10. 4. then from Firefox 4.0, the minimum being OSX 10.5. Then from Firefox 16.0 minimum was OSX 10.6 + since. This Intel as PPC support has been removed from Firefox 4.0

    So the old Firefox 2.0.0.20 was the last who could run under OS x 10.2.x

    == I downloaded the latest firefox

    I have the same problem with Firefox 3.6.6 except that it also consumes massive amounts of CPU during the race. This version also adds a new process on your system. I am running XP and in the beginning I tried to disable some plug-ins. Always consumed too much memory. I went back to version 3.6 and the new process went, and the CPU consumption is way down. Something is wrong with the latest version of Firefox, I never saw behave this way. Revert to a previous version (Filehippo) and you will see the difference.

  • Hi, thanks for making me signed in - finally. Now, after the upgrade to the latest Firefox, I can not play videos. Addons & pluginns all turned on and up to date.

    Hello
    I was struggling to connect to the support site yesterday and while this problem has been resolved, I was advised to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox from the system noticed that I was using an old. I was using Firefox 33 without major issues or problems at all. However I went ahead with the update, which gave me the 34.0.5 version. If good so far until what I went to play some of my regular TV series, I had followed with the previous version, only now he would not play at all.

    I know these TV series, comming from abroad might contain some harmful content to my machine or others, but I am well covered and as I say earlier they were playing fine in the previous version of Firefox. Just earlier the same day.
    

    I will be grateful if you could throw some ideas in this.

    HI Juanverano,
    Is not a problem, Mode safe mode disables acceleration addons and hardware. If this continues and it is not an add on what will be the next step to try to disable acceleration:

    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

    You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    1. Open the Firefox Options (Preferences on Mac or Linux) as follows:

      • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

        then select Options Preferences on Mac or Linux, or Windows.

      • In 28.0 Firefox and earlier versions, click on the Firefox orange upper-left button, then select the 'Options' button or, if there is no button up Firefox, go to tools > Options.
    2. In the window of Firefox Options (or preferences), click on the Advanced tab, and then select general.
    3. You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
    4. Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

  • Why I see "upgrade your browser" messages on Web sites when I have the latest Firefox?

    Installed on the computer of my mother who has the latest version of FireFox (I did that) it shows constantly posts on various sites like GMail the browser is obsolete and must be upgraded. As you can probably guess these messages mean almost nothing at all, except to the warn you that the site may not work, but they get boring every day when you cannot move to a version of FireFox that will come out in the literal future. What intrigues me is that I'm on a computer right now that uses FireFox 4.2 and I do not see these messages anywhere, but I saw them on his computer. I could just install Aurora, but which can confuse his...

    Could check you the Firefox user agent string? This article explains how reset it is not blocked in the past: sites say that Firefox is obsolete or incompatible, even if it's the latest version.

    Firefox 17.0.1 also reverses a change in Firefox 17.0 confused some Web sites (it returns the version of Gecko Gecko/20100101 Gecko/17.0), but I don't think that change created widespread problems.

    Edit: Useragent string is listed in help > troubleshooting in the first table information.

  • problems with the latest Firefox

    I am very satisfied with the latest version of Firefox!
    The following problems occurred that will never happen to me using Firefox before:

    1 I started to see some blurry text characters sometimes. I thought that my video card was dying, but it does not occur with any other software including IE. I could find on Google instructions to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox that fix.

    2 AutoComplete and cookies seem to be insidious. For example, to go back on this forum and remembering opening and password was a real task - I couldn't get rid of a choice of incorrect logon name.

    3 when I click on a link or an icon to call a web site, I get a screen about empty half the time and I have to close Firefox and view the page a second time to get it.

    I have been using Firefox since it came out and was a big fan.
    How can I find that an earlier version, it is driving me crazy?
    I really don't want to start using IE or Chrome.
    Thank you
