Updated Firefox to version 23 - several problems
Hello.
It is my first post in this forum, even if I'm a long-time Firefox user. I'll take the chance and thanks for all the effort you put into providing the best browser to Mozilla and keep the web open.
Everything worked great until I allowed Firefox update to version 23 today.
I have multiple problems, maybe more that in any process to upgrade to this day, that's why I take my time to write this post and hopefully provide a feedback to do better in the future Firefox releases.
1. in the previous version, I got all the plugins that have been blocked with the parameter 'plugins.click_to_play' set to true. At the present time, I am aware that it is possible to set this option individually for each plugin in firefox > extras > plugins, the problem is now I have to turn them all to "always ask", even if click_to_play is always true and in "subject: permissions", I always always "ask" activated. This makes no sense and it goes against the functionality of Firefox introduced not so long ago, click to play the plugins in each page.
2 - Youtube videos stopped working, they charge not at all and sometimes youtube report "an error has occurred." I tried with active plugins and click here to read, but nothing works. However, DailyMotion and Vimeo videos are loading very well so far.
3 - Facebook Messenger for Firefox stopped working too. I deleted and added to many times, login and logout of facebook, by following the steps to troubleshoot this https://support.mozilla.org/pt-PT/kb/how-does-facebook-messenger-firefox-work but nothing seems to do the job, the cat remains empty of zero it and buttons for the updates and friend requests do not appear yet.
I'm also a bit annoyed with the change in research, I usually kept two different search engines, an impressive bar and the other in the search bar, it has been very helpful. Now, when we change the motor in a bar, it's the same in the other, then why keep the search bar at all? Why not integrate in the awesome bar? This change is not sensible as well. Let's say I googled awesome bar and want to search DDG, I must change first and only then search, but then I have to come back once again, this is a very regrettable decision. If it is to make it easy to change the default search engine, this should be found in the settings.
Furthermore, I don't think that quite remove features of the browser is the best way to keep the part of the user for that matter, with various search engines could remain an option for those who want to, can say the same about the disabling of tabs, even if some of them should never be used by most people It does not mean that they do not serve. Configurability is always special Firefox, the possibility to make it * your * browser.
Even if I'm frustrated by these problems, please take this as constructive feedback. I always will support Firefox all the ways that I can!
BTW, I love the new logo design!
I was able to understand the problem with Youtube videos
"An error has occurred. Please, try again later"appears on every Youtube video since I've upgraded to Firefox 23 in two of my personal profiles, although many others such as DailyMotion or Vimeo worked well.
After you start in safe mode, starting to play Youtube videos and I found the problem was caused by HTTPS Everywhere extension (by EFF) https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere
So in Firefox 23, apparently Youtube can't play videos in a secure HTTPS connection.
For those who have the same problem, because it doesn't happen on Youtube and nothing else (as far as I know), there is no way to disable this add-on, simply go to its options in Firefox > Add-ons, search for Youtube, right click on the entry and select alternative to disable the connection on Youtube.
Regarding Facebook Messenger, its seems broken for many people, as you can see in the following positions
https://support.Mozilla.org/PT-PT/questions/967502
https://support.Mozilla.org/PT-PT/questions/959474
It is not something on my Firefox configuration, because it is broken on a newly created profile as well and others suffer from the same thing, if I can just sit and wait for a fix to be corrected, meanwhile I'm disable.
Click to play plugins is a work in progress on Firefox, so I hope it is addressed in the next version. Set to true in: config should require activation for them all, but it's not the case, since they are all still active in Firefox > Addons > Plugins. The solution is to require the activation individually for each plugin.

I've recently updated to 7.0.1 to 8.0 (but I chose "restart later"). When I opened firefox the next day, all my modules have been removed completely from firefox (and even from my computer - I checked the profile data in the C drive, where my windows was installed). I installed some add-ons, then he says the Add - ons have been installed successfully (without all over again) but when you click through an add-on options it did not open. I checked for all the Add-ons, but none of the options of the add button - it worked. Screenshot of some of my modules
It is possible that there is a problem with the files that store the registry extensions.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g., extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache and extensions.rdf) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
New files will be created if necessary.See "extension corrupted files:
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
- https://support.Mozilla.com/kb/unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled extensions, is not compatible, in "tools > Modules > Extensions ' and then click the Tools button, on the left side of the search bar (or click on the"Find updates"button in older versions of Firefox) to do a check of compatibility or to see if there is an available update compatibility.

I updated Firefox to version 29.0.1 and now it won't let me set a home page.
When I open Firefox, it opens to the search page you'll find, I want. I tried to place the home page by opening the site I want and by dragging its tab to the Home icon, but it has not changed the home page. Also, I can't change the default search engine. Selecting a different search in the drop-down list engine does nothing.

With the new version 20.0 UX does not work, how can I me personas to work?
Make sure that you are not Firefox running in (permanent) private browsing mode.
- Firefox > Preferences > privacy > Firefox will be: "use the custom settings for history".
- Uncheck the box: [] "always use the navigation mode private.
If you switch to private browsing and then a special built-in character is applied to disable the theme so it is impossible to use other characters.

Go to Firefox-> Add-ons-> Plugins-> Locate Shockwave Flash 11.3.300.257 (not 11.0.1.152) and disable it.

(2) go in run (Windows key + R)-> Type %APPDATA%\microsoft\windows\sendto - > go to Roaming-> locate Mozilla Firefox and remove it.
3) go to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox (or anywhere where you have it installed) and remove this folder.

I use Mac OS X Lion. I use Firefox for my research and organized many bookmarks into folders. All bookmarks disappeared after I've upgraded to version 11. I tried to find my profile as suggested in the forums and help documents, but I'm not. I have backups Time Machine of my entire system. Could someone please tell me what are the folders and/or files to restore to recover my favorites?
Hi chrisquek,

Using windows XP pro.
One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.
Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

I update firefox from version 7 to version 8, now when I run firefox every time it itself open the Web "to start with firefox", in firefox options I select the "show a blank page" but his does not work. I use firefox on windows XP - SP2.
Try to restart Firefox, the time of a page (s) after the beginning of a new version should disappear. In fact this last time with 8.0 they did not come to the top for me.
If it works then raise Subject: config and insert the url of the page into the filter. Right-click on anything that appears and use "Reset".

After updating firefox does not restart
On Linux Mint when Firefox is opened and at the same time the operating system package manager upgrades Firefox, then FF does not notify me that it needs to restart.
I notice as some extension stops working. Later I have checked package manager newspaper and see, this FF had been updated. Was not in older versions while FF has notified me this reboot is required for firefox?
Is this a bug or I have some missing parameter. I need notification window be visible until the user closes or restart of firefox...
Unfortunately no, it looks like it's only done manually: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version#firefo...

As a mac user, I have Firefox browser version 32 (for MacBook) installed on my Macbook Pro at least a year. I get the updated browser each time when Mozilla warns me on new versions. Today, I was alerted for an update on my current version 32. As soon as I clicked for the installation of the update, I realized that my browser is redirected to the legitimate website of the Mozilla Foundation, however, the new update has a certain plugin malware. I tried three times, twice with my own and once during my session of remote with Apple OS agent assistance is supported. As a user, I don't get much time on the Mozilla site and moments after reaching this Web site, the URL is redirected to some "led... com ' ith a super long URL that hacks your browser type." He leaves several entries in the registry and stop access to any intended URL. Instead, it takes you whenever the malware wants to. Sometimes you see some programs 'App Magic' malware and other malware unknown websites yet easily misleading. Off no other choice, I finally had to clean my system and uninstalling firefox. I wait now Mozilla Firefox to view this problem, have solved it and warn me before that I can actually do. BTW, once I saw also a toll free no.. starting with 1-855... claiming to be team Support of Mozilla, who are aware of the problem and I should call for customer support. Out of my high doubts, I didn't trust that he therefore never had a note of it any further. Mozilla must identify the violation and warn users of Mac from Firefox to any breach of malware occurs due to potentially a updated version of dike.
If it was legitimate install www.mozilla.org or update in Firefox, so he has not come to Mozilla or Firefox. No version of Firefox for Windows, Linux and Mac OSX from www.mozilla.org comes with any form of viruses, adware, malware, toolbars, not packaged apps etc.
If your claim is true, it would be a first.
You mentioned leads, well it is a known adware company extensions toolbar or company or what you want to call them, although condiit.com seems to have changed to something else now.

Today updated Firefox updated to its latest version 12.0. Immediately after the update, I couldn't load most of the sites. The web browser would just freeze. I have determined that the culprit is the Adobe Flash Plugin, however; even with the latest version of the plugin, I always have problems. Any suggestions?
If anyone else has this problem I found a few options that may help you.
I solved my problem by loading Waterfox, which is the 64-bit version of Firefox. I use a Windows 64-bit operating system, so this solution worked perfectly. If you want to download it, it can be downloaded here: http://waterfoxproject.org/
It has also been suggested that I try to create a new Firefox profile. Since Waterfox works for me, I have not tried yet; However, I was told that it allows to solve several mysterious questions of Firefox with Flash. The directions for this can be found here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
I hope everyone can solve their problems of Flash Player and I recommend using the Adobe Forums as well. People there are very helpful.
Good luck!

Update Firefox 6.0 is useless to me because many websites I visit are not displayed properly, I guess because the Java modules are disabled because of incompatibility. They appear correctly in Internet Explorer.
In addition, the add-on from Trend Micro is not compatible, which leaves me with a positive feeling.
When I try to check to see if these modules can be updated, the menu item Tools/Addons just goes to a page with "loading" and stays there for several minutes without change until I close it.
I would like to know the procedure to regularize this version of Firefox to my previous version that worked.
Firefox 5.0/5.0.1/4.0/4.0.1 and earlier 3.6.20 all contain questions of security and stability that will not be corrected. You put your system at risk by using any version of Firefox that 6.0 or 3.6.20. Any person who displays a link to other versions is to be irresponsible, in my opinion.
Java
If the incompatible extensions in Add-ons > Extensions are Java Console, you have no need them unless your doing Java development. Most of the users have not yet installed, but Java will install Java Console with each update. You can delete them manually:The only thing that affects the functioning of the sites/Java applets on the web is the plugin (Add-ons - > Plugins) "Java (TM) Platform SE (version)". Do not forget that it is enabled and that you have not all extensions which affect/block "scripts".
- Check commonly used plugins: https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
- Update or install Java (aka, next generation Java plug-in for the Mozilla browsers): install or update Java in Firefox
Trend Micro
You must contact Trend Micro or go to the forums on their website to inquire about their plans to update the add-ons/toolbars they install in Firefox.Problem with the display of the Add-ons Manager
The Add-ons Manager gets in a loop of loading due to the recent update of Firefox 6 and servers being overloaded because users and update process are looking for updates to the add-on. If you stay away from the "Get Add-ons" selection on the left of the screen of the add-on Manager, you should have no problem with that. This situation is expected to resolve when the overload of Firefox 6 update is complete. I do not always use this "Get Add-ons" option, instead, I go to the website of modules and the search for what I want from there: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=clone & cat = all & x = 0 & y = 0
