Why my computer will not be updated to the latest version of firefox?
I have windows XP on my computer. To access some sites I get a message saying that I need the latest version of windows, I download and install... or so I thought pop.
Everything seems as it should and I get no error messages or signs that something went wrong. Yet when I then re - visit Web sites (i.e. Deviant art) he declares again I don't have the latest version of firefox. I contacted the site deviant art, which has confirmed that my browser is showing that Firefox 3.5.3.
Your string UserAgent in Firefox is marred by another program you have installed.
http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/USER_AGENT
type of topic: config in the URL bar and press ENTER.
If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access this page.
Filter = general.useragent.
Right click the preferences that are "BOLD", a line at a time, select reset.
Then restart Firefox

Mac OS x will not be updated to the latest version of Flash Player.
My Mac OSX intel 10.6.8 won't play Flash Player. I followed all the instructions, including "How to perform a Clean Install" but Flash Player does not work. I even checked with Apple newsgroups and followed suggestions about plug-ins, etc, but it still does not work. Enough niggled because I don't have flash player on my Mac for everything now, after following the instructions from Adobe to remove original. If necessary and if possible I would like to download a previous version. Using Safari v. 5.1.9.
Before uninstall for the umpteenth time, I was able to provide information following (to the community of Apple support), but ultimately they said, I need to contact this site.

Resolution with a single answer? Somehow I don't think.
If you delete the folder INTEGER Macromedia, the next time you launch your browser, it will recreate everything in it. If you are not comfortable with this, simply remove the Flash Player folder. Then follow the instructions in 'clean install' and restart your browser.

Since I have updated to the latest version of Firefox a few days every time I click on a link, or in a dialog (like this one) or try to pin something to Pinterest, a reading of google window opens. I have no new pluggi-ns and no Add-ons. I also scanned my cpu for viruses and none were found. What is originally this issue that drives me crazy, and how can it be solved?
To eliminate if it is a corrupt add on or plugin, please check if it happens in a new profile with just the pintrist on. This will tell you if it's a combination. Use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox
Also sometimes an antivirus does not detect a virus that would be another. Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:
- Microsoft safety scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

Recently I've updated to the latest version of Firefox, and since I, Firefox loads and said: "the proxy server refuses connections."
Whenever I'll choose "No. Proxy" settings are always this:
HTTP proxy: 127.0.0.1 Port: 50424
Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).
- Makes no changes on the start safe mode window.

Recently updated to version 9.0.1 version of Firefox. Restarted. All my bookmark icons were not visible. They are available if I go to my Menu bookmarks - view all bookmarks. They are just not visible in the tab bookmarks at the top of Firefox (where it is the most useful).
you need to change image.mem.decodeondraw
type in the address bar Subject: config
then press the button I'll be careful, I promise you
then type in the image.mem.decodeondraw toolbar
then double click on above, to make false
exit Firefox and restart.
Thank you

In the past, when I tried to bookmark a Web page, I had the opportunity to choose where I wanted to the stored bookmark. If I chose "Choose", I would be presented with a list of all my files. No more! Now, if I select 'Choose', I am presented with only three options: "Bookmarks Toolbar", "Bookmarks Menu" and "Unsorted Bookmarks."
Firefox continues to become more and more difficult to use and seems to be less stable. I fell that I am forced to migrate to Google Chrome. What is going on?
BTW, Firefox prevented support.mozilla.org of asking me to install the software on my computer, so I wasn't able to automatically add troubleshooting information.

Web site will not disappear after closing the tab AND restart Firefox.
I went to a website to watch a video, and when I had finished I closed the tab on what the site was. When I had finished on my computer, I closed Firefox. The reopening of Firefox later he restored the page. I don't know why it does this, and I can't make it disappear. I deleted all my cookies/cache, etc., as well as do a virus scan and nothing can tell me why this is happening. It's pretty boring, and I would that my browser to work properly. I've recently updated to the latest version of Firefox, so everything is up-to-date. I'll take any suggestions anyone can throw on me because I am fresh out of ideas.
Thanks in advance.
