  It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and allow your firewall to ask permission to get access full and unrestricted, again to install for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

• Son of sites Web Mozilla Firefox (35.0.1, Windows 7) message that plugin is blocked (to date!)

  There is a long discussion on bugzilla (follow the link to https://blocklist.addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/blocked/p428 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636633) on the blocking of the Java plugin.

  According to this (now closed to comments) thread, the bug is spent a lot of time.
  However, Firefox always decides to block it by default.

  Surprising, then, that a page used for the verification of the plugins (https://www.mozilla.org/nl/plugincheck/?utm_source=firefox-browser & utm_medium = firefox-browser & utm_campaign = plugincheck-update) uses this same plugin which has then of course is blocked.

  Suggestion: make one (or both) of the following;
  (1) stop blocking the plugin by default, or
  (2) stop using the plugin on the own Mozilla Web pages.

  Kind regards
  Roel

  Hello Roel, the use of java on the site of the plugin-check is a bug which will be addressed (see bug #1110451).

• When it was recommended to abandon internet Explorer, I tried to download mozilla firefox. I don't know why, but something did not. In the meantime

  We had to cancel our internet subscription and I sent the internet Explorer to the trash. Now we try internet tv but have no browser. I think that Internet Explore may be recovered from the trash, but it's safe to use it? I could recover just to download mozilla firefox, only to remove it again? We have Windows xp, why mozilla would not work earlier?

  In Windows, Internet Explorer is a necessary program. It is used by
  Windows during updates.

• Why search for mozilla firefox in Bing does not appear when I connect to AOL as my homepage?

  When I connect to the home page of aol.com , instead see a page that says search mozilla firefox on the top and Bing on the right. I was able to remove the Bing toolbar, but were unable to delete the mozilla firefox page. It is a new problem and I do not know how to solve. Can you help me?

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe or make changes.

  Try to use the extension SearchReset reset preferences to default values.

  Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).

• Why Mozilla Firefox uses Google as their search on the web if Google stores everything we look for?

  Why Mozilla Firefox use Google as their search engine if Google stores everything you are looking for and tracking what you do online? I have nothing against Firefox, I wonder why.

  This partnership is as old as Firefox itself, but each user can use any search engine they cars not to use - no reason, you should use Google simply because it is the default in Firefox.

  The search engines in the search bar can be removed.
  
  The search engine used in the Awesome Bar can be changed through subject: config.
  
  The search engine on the subject: home page can be changed, although not as easily as with the Awesome Bar.

  As to 'why', who knows? When Google offered to help Mozilla with financial support through their search engine is the search engine by default for Firefox, Mozilla had to say no to something that any other search engine is also at this time?

  I thought it would be FAFSA is causing your problem.

  Install Portable Firefox 3.6.x on your hard drive to a Web site. This will not affect any of your current Firefox installation.

• Every time I have download and install updates to vista security I have reinstall mozilla firefox, why?

  Whenever I have download and install the vista security updates I lose Mozilla Firefox. The program and the icon still exist but do not respond. By clicking on the icon or clicking on the program files does produce absolutely no response.
  So any time I install updates, I have to run internet explore and firefox redownload. Most annoying. Help.
  P.S. Yes, firefox is my default browser.

  Some problems occurs when your Internet security program has been implemented.
  trust the previous version of Firefox, but not more acknowledges your
  update as being approved. Now how do I solve the problem: to allow
  Firefox to connect to the Internet

  • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (for example, you are using the latest version).
  • Delete Firefox to list your program of programs approved or recognized. For detailed instructions, see

• Why is it all of Mozilla is blocked?

  I did a clean install of firefox (after having removed completely), and now I have a problem installing an addon or to access the mozilla Web sites. In fact, open Web sites, but does not load correctly. The text is downloaded. This happens with all that for mozilla.org domain or related pages. To get a better idea of what happens, take a look at the screenshot I attached. Also something else to notice. All websites get loaded correctly on other browsers, so I guess it's something related to mozilla firefox. And by the way, I tried refreshing firefox, go to mode without failure, tent from a private window or delete the profile folder. So where the problem could be?

  UPDATE:
  I have restored the old profile folder, and everything seems to work properly. After you remove it again, the problem is once again. I tested a few other Web sites, and he and one of them had problems as Mozilla certificate. I think that firefox creates a corrupted profile folder.

  @James
  I use ESET Smart Security. But as mentioned, this does happen if I use the old user profile, but if I create a new.

  Perhaps because the new profile has a default cert8.db who doesn't have the certificate trust ESET as a power to issue false certificates of signature ESET presents to Firefox when filtering of SSL connections?

• Why Mozilla Firefox can't find the last downloaded URL page

  Can someone please solve this mystery:

  • I edited a number of my web pages today and then download the whole site using FileZilla.
  • To access my web pages from a browser Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, I see the latest version of all pages.
  • To access my web pages of Mozilla Firefox, a number of old versions of pages is available, while some are the last downloaded version.

  The problem is that Mozilla is my favorite browser, so I that the problem be resolved.

  Any help would be most appreciated.

  Thank you - Roy Marnewick

  Hey Roy, it's hard to say.

  For visitors who do not all pages of the site being cached, they should get only what is currently available. You can emulate this by opening a new private window (assuming that you are not currently using a private window) and by visiting your site in this window.

  For visitors come back, what is supposed to happen is that if your site has sent a "last modified" as well as the page date, Firefox should ask the server if there is an update before displaying the cached version. It is very difficult to test, of course, because it is difficult to simulate in time...
