Why the current version of firefox installs adware?

When I downloaded the latest version of firefox it installed adware so that my computer is unusable. I used a previous version on my other computer and I liked it very well why ruin you a very good program.

You can also check if Firefox has a non-standard connection setting? It's a way to alter apparently valid sites. You can do so here:

"3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced > tab mini network > button "settings".

The default "use system proxy" should piggyback on your Windows/IE 'LAN' settings. But you can try 'No proxy' to see if that makes a difference.

  • Why is the current version of Firefox on my laptop 6.0 and my office worm. 3.6.20?

    Not a problem, just curious.

    No he is not separated for laptops and desktop computers.

    Just Mozilla has not yet turned on 3.6 to 6.0 update notifications. I don't even get this possibility today (and for the last few days) when I manually "Check for Updates" on 3.6.18 / 20 in the Help menu. It is difficult to update everyone using all versions of Firefox in a single day or even over several days, there is only so much available bandwidth.

  • Is the current version of Firefox Compatible with Windows 10

    If all goes well, there will be no problem. Some people are already using Firefox with Windows 10 pre versions.

  • Why the latest version of Firefox freeze and require a Force Quit?

    I use a MacBook Air, processor 1.8 GHz, 4 GB memory, OS X v10.9 (Mavericks) and Firefox v25.0.

    9 out of 10 times when I close Firefox, it freezes and I have to do a Force Quit. Without rhyme or reason, ab 1 out of 10 times it closes as it should without a problem. This issue arose as a result of the latest update of Firefox.

    NOTE: I had been using OS X Mavericks with Firefox without any problems before the latest update of Firefox, so I don't think it's the Mavericks is the problem.

    I thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

    It is most likely a problem of Add on.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    The report please come back shortly.

  • After update, why I'm still getting "You do not use the current version of Firefox" on the start page?

    I am sure that I have updated to version 8 hours ago because when I look under "About Firefox" under "Help" it says "8.0.1" under the logo, and further down, "Firefox is updated." I tried to restart the computer, but the message won't go away. Something goes wrong with the update, and if so, what should I do?

    I assumed that you use always the default value of old Firefox home www.google.com/firefox/ which has not been used in more recent Firefox released for a few months now, and Google is no longer updating it. Either ignore the message or change your home page in tools-> Options-> general

  • a toolbar Yahoo, which has been deleted and the current version of Firefox. Instead, I put my links of Yahoo toolbar on the Firefox bookmarks bar. The rest of the issue in detail.

    Instead of just having the icons and be able to hover over them to see what they are (in which case I forgot), toolbar Firefox displays the icon and name - that takes a lot of space on the toolbar, and not all my icons show. Can I change this? It's annoying to not to see all the icons in the Yahoo toolbar, I want to see either the icons of my shortcuts only - or I want to shorten the size of shortcuts tab, so I can show several of them without shortening the tabs at the top of the page.

  • Why is it so difficult to find the latest version of Firefox?

    There seems to be no place on mozilla.org see easily what is the current version of Firefox. I have to dig through the support questions and answers to find out. If this is kept secret for some reason? THX

    Hi gamble-PuTTY, I don't know why your Firefox discovered the update if these preferences are set. You probably wouldn't know if you've ever tried to prevent Firefox to auto-update... the methods have been proposed which include the addition of a hosts file or firewall update server name or another external locking mechanism. Maybe Firefox isn't able to determine why requests to this server fail if that is the problem.

    You can always find a current full installer on the next page:

    https://www.Mozilla.org/Firefox/all/

    The links system requirements and Release Notes at the top lead to pages with the current version number. To find your Installer, scroll to your preferred language.
