  • I can not download updates for Firefox on my MacBook

    When I receive a message to install an update to improve the stability of Firefox on my Mac (it crashes pretty regularly), the computer is 'blocked' in the middle of the download. I was not able to download the updated release of Firefox.

    If there are problems with the update or the best then permanently is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to make a clean new version installation.

  • Why can't recgnize mozsqlite3.dll Firefox file, even if it is in the program folder?

    bold text A clean installed Firefox 4, six different times. When I try to open Firefox afterwards, a message pop up with that - box 'this application has failed to start because sqlite.dll not found." Every time that the file mozsqlite3.dll has been in the Mozila program file. What I'm missing here?
    The computer that is running Windows XP.

    The only thing that your user agent reveals, is that you use IE8 to post your messages that helps not at all.

    But one thing confuses me with the message error you posted in the image showing firefox.exe could not find sqlite3.dll. It seems to me that you were using Windows 2000 when you took the photo because in the second, the appearance of the title bar changed style of Windows XP (?).

    Could you try doing the following please.

    1. Download version 3.6.17 here: Download Firefox v3.6.17
    2. Follow the same procedure to uninstall/install as in my initial post. This will install the file sqlite3.dll which seems to have been deleted in 4.0.x
    3. When the installation completes, click help . Check For Updates and try and upgrade to 4.0.1 it.
  • Since the update for Firefox 4, I am no longer offers the possibility to save the tabs when closing making it much faster to access these sites when starting the next day. Why this possibility has been removed? It's a favorite feature.

    Since the update for Firefox 4, I offer more the ability to save tabs on shutdown - makes more rapid access to these sites when commissioning the next day. Why this possibility has been removed? It was a feature favorite and saved a lot of time.

    Firefox 4 records the previous session.

    You can use "Firefox > history > restore previous Session" for the previous session.

    There is also a button 'Restore previous Session' on the default on: Home home page.

    Another possibility is to use:

    • Tools > Options > general > startup: "When Firefox starts": "show my windows and tabs from last time '.

    You can set the preferences of warning on the topic: config page true via the context menu or toggle the value with a double click of the left.

  • Downloaded the update for Firefox, and now I can't get rid of AOL.

    Downloaded the update for Firefox, and now I can't get rid of AOL. I tried to remove anything that is related to AOL and when restart Firefox... There are once again AOL. I even reinstalled Firefox... He was there again.

    Where AOL is displayed - homepage?

    I think the first thing to check is if you have any modules related to AOL. These can replace your regular settings. You can view and disable all extensions essential or unknown here:

    Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Extensions category

    Note that in most cases, you should use the link to restart Firefox to actually disable the extension that you have chosen to disable.

    Then, to fix your homepage, try the procedure described in this article: How to set the home page.

    If there is a problem with your suppliers of research from Google for AOL, try this extension:

    I have a Mac Powerbook G4 with OS X 10.5.8. I get messages from Google that Firefox is an older version and need to update - so I went to the site of Firefox and the message said that "Unfortunately the latest version of Firefox is not compatible with the operating system of your computer. Learn more. "When I click on learn more, it is said that Firefox only works with OS X 10.5 and 10.6... the auto-Setup box to update for Firefox is grayed out and not clickable in Firefox preferences, there is no manual download I can find - how can I make Firefox recognize my OS and allow me to upgrade? Thank you very much.

    PPC Macs are not compatible with Firefox 4.0 and later versions.

    For older Mac that are not supported in Firefox 4 / 5 / 6, try TenFourFox of PowerPC running Mac 10.4.11 and 10.5.8.

  • Firefox will not allow the module because "do not update for Firefox 29,0" even on update modules.

    I recently newly installed firefox 29.0.1 on my Android phone. Several modules that work very well on my laptop with Firefox 29,0 claim to be 'not updated for Firefox 29,0"

    for 'Reporter compatibility add-on' and the 'Greasemonkey' add-on, the site was actually a message in red under a gray button 'add to Firefox' who says 'not updated for Firefox 29.0 ".

    For the add-on "Leechblock", the site allows me to download, but after downloading a message saying "Leechblock could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 29.0.1.

    All these modules work fine on my computer, and the support for them sites claim that they have been updated, so I'm at a loss as to why they do not work.

    On the view of the Office of addons.mozilla.org , there a version information section that can be extended if you click on it. For example https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/stylish/

    > Works with Firefox for Android 14.0 - 32.0, Firefox 4.0 and later, SeaMonkey 2.1 and later, Thunderbird 5.0 and later

  • Portege M700: Cannot use the fingerprint reader after update for Firefox 3

    Hey

    I have a Toshiba Portege M700 Tablet and with the truesuite software on a fingerprint reader and password Bank plugin.

    It's all working fine and dandy with firefox 2.
    Then last night I went and updated for firefox 3 and now I can't log in to Web sites with the fingerprint reader.

    No error messages, nothing. I can say that the truesuite or Bank password software is not detecting firefox 3. I've updated to the latest version that I could find, 2.0.2.0.

    I found this thread by telling me the process of update of firefox it breaks and I should completely uninstall and reinstall firefox, which I did.
    That didn't fix it.

    Then I completely uninstalled and reinstalled truesuite. That did not help either.
    Its still broken.

    Anyone know a workaround or a way to fix this, or should I wait and see if there is an updated version of the password database? (I find it unlikely because this isn't really a standard program)

    Hello

    I think that the new Firefox version is not fully tested and possibly it s not completely compatible with the 3rd party applications.
    I remember the same problems with older versions of firefox. Finally, it has been resolved.

    But why you don t use internet explore? As far as I know the fingerprint works without a problem

    In any case if you want to continue to use the browser firefox 3 so I think that the only solution is to wait for an update.

    The Windows security alert is the only issue.

  • ALT + scroll stop do not work since being updated for firefox 17.0

    Usually, I use a single line of Alt + mouse scroll to scrolling in firefox, but updated for firefox 17.0, it works no more, even in safe mode.

    Hello pikashi, the scrolling behavior has been overhauled in firefox 17 (for technical reference information see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Gecko:Mouse_Wheel_Scrolling).

    It must still be possible to define a frame rate different when you press the ALT key you can enter Subject: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears), search preferences starting with mousewheel.with_alt.delta_multiplier_ ..., you can double-click on these parameters and assign a different value to - then a restart of firefox is required for the changed settings take place in the browser.

    I don't know exactly how they work, but for example by defining all 33 instead of 100, the scrolling speed is greatly reduced. You can play around a bit to find the ideal values which correspond to your needs...
