Upgrade to version 20 broke all bookmarks and URL address bar

Since I updated Firefox to v19 to v20, the program is not responding when I click on any bookmark or manually enter a web address in the URL address bar.

It does not expire waiting for a connection, and there is no "connecting to" message in the status bar. Nothing happens at all.

I can run Chrome and IE 10 on the same computer you connect to the internet without problem. Only 20 of Firefox has this problem.

Article knowledge base, I tried to delete the application rule for Firefox to my firewall software (Avast Internet Security) and add the rule. This does nothing.

The program is essentially dead. I'll try to go back to version 19 to see if this solves the problem. In the meantime, the 20 version is broken on my PC.

Firefox version: 20
The Version of Windows: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 32-bit
AV and firewall software: Avast Internet Security 7.0.1474

Does anyone else have this problem? Have you found a solution, other than the return to the old version of the program?

UPDATE: for the record, back to FireFox 19.0.2 solved the problem. The program now meets all the favourites and manually entered web addresses in the URL bar.

I disabled the maintenance service that updates 'in silence' of Firefox. The plan is now simply ignore all the Mozilla prompts asking me to upgrade to version 20.

Problem solved, for now.

  • Upgrade to Windows 10 erase all files and programs now on my computer, or make it unusable?

    Upgrade to Windows 10 erase all files and programs now on my computer, or make it unusable?  I have since I have not answered on this site, I headed to the computer store, 'Best Buy', to see if their staff or their staff of in-house computer repair people called "Geek Squad" could answer this question.  NONE OF THEM COULD.

    Well up to now, I had a lot of problems with windows 10. Some programs do not work. My wireless guard is disconnected. And when I restored it windows 8.1, my browsers did not work. It's just on a single computer. Others have not yet verified, I'm very satisfied with the situation. He also removed my antivirus program.

    The biggest problem is with the software I paid for and that you do not have a disk to reinstall. WHY - because today ' today, software publishers want you pay every month, and when things like that, go bad, there is no record of re - install the software. I spent hours trying to solve this problem, but until now I'm waiting for Microsoft's online live chat 194 minutes go.

    I would say that they should have ethics applied to developers of software for this kind of things don't happen. How unfair is that they release a product with a ton of bugs simply because developers are too lazy to correct the problems before its release. They must be charged a fine for lack of ethics in programming.

    So to answer your question - so far the files are still there, but has great difficulty with the programs works not as they did. In addition, if go back you to an earlier version of windows, it seems that they made it impossible for previous versions to work as before without having to reinstall all the software you have.

    I'd wait until they have corrected most of the bugs. I'm stuck, but you're not.

  • How can I move the home button between the front and the address bar?

    Her that I have my firefox put in place over the years is to place the buttons like this:

    [Back] [Front] [Stop/Reload] [Home] [Progress Animation] [Address bar]

    Now in FF29 I'm trying to move the home button between BackForward buttons and the address bar and it won't let me.

    I thought that FF29 was supposed to be the most customizable Firefox yet? * confused *.

    Is there a way to do it, am I missing something? Thank you

    "I thought that FF29 was supposed to be the most customizable Firefox yet?

    Who told you that was incorrect, as far as I'm concerned. Firefox is more customizable than the 'competition', but not as much as the previous versions were.

    The home button can be moved, but the back / button drop-down list is set to the address bar - they cannot be separated.

    The combo Stop / Reload button is locked in the address bar.

    The 'old' activity indicator has disappeared. Deemed unnecessary with the animation of loading on the left corner of each tab, where the favorite icon once the page is completely loaded.

    Many users install the extension Classic theme restaurateur.

    But I don't think it will turn out to be along term solution. As users begin to install other extensions, I think they're going to face compatibility issues where the new extension "expects" the user to use what Firefox is come with - not the 'retro' functions

  • Uninstall the upgrade of version 5.5 of v4 and reinstall v5.5 on new PC

    I'm working on version 5.5, which was activated by a CD of the v4 upgrade. I have the serial numbers of v4 and v5.5.

    Could someone confirm that what follows is the right way to transfer Captivate 5.5 upgrade from v4 to a new top of the tower.

    1. on the old laptop (connected to internet) go to help on/off and select "deactivate permanently".

    2. on the new laptop launch the installation of version 5.5 (see question below)

    3. When asked to enter the serial number for upgrade version 5.5 and then v4 serial number

    No idea where the v5.5 download link?

    Thanks as always...

    Noel

    What in fact if all you have is a license upgrade and you install on a new machine, in addition to the deactivation of your previous on the original machine installation, you may need to INSTALL Captivate 4 first, then activate that, before installing Cp5.5 and activation through the upgrade license.

    If your path can be much more complicated than what you want.
