yesterday, October 5, 2015, I installed the latest version of firefox which does not allow me to open a new tab as my home page - how can I fix?
In previous versions of firefox, I could use about: config to make the new tab opened as my home page. the latest version of firefox doesn't seem to allow this. I find it very frustrating that all the search engines seem to want to dictate what I see when I Browse. I wish to install the new version of firefox
In Firefox pref browser.newtab.url 41 disappeared. This pref has been hijacked by malware so frequently while Mozilla has decided to remove this pref to eliminate this kind of diversion.
You will need an extension like this one to restore.
https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
Or to have your home page as the new tab page, try this extension.
https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
If you're using Classic theme restaurant, go to the options of CTR > general UI (2) and set your preference for the new tab URL there.
For Super Start , you can use the topic: superstart page.

When you say
I tried IE and the same thing. However, things returned to normal after I rebooted my computer,
Do you mean that IE becomes so callous. If so it might be an indication that any fault is it is not Firefox itself.

I keep trying to install the latest version of firefox and it does not work
I am running firefox 3.something, I think, and I keep trying to install the latest version on my mac. I have through save, open, drag the icon to my apps file... and when I drag my apps file, it takes a few seconds to do * something *, pings to me and then nothing after that. I try to open it and it tells me that I have to close firefox first, so I didn't (restart even) and when it opens again it still opens to the old version.
Looks like you are trying to install the latest version by downloading it from the Mozilla site. What happens if you try and install by choosing Firefox > Firefox in the Menu bar? Yet you say that Firefox is not updated?
Also, have you tried to uninstall Firefox using CleanMyMac or AppCleaner, for example and then install again? Please do not do this until you are satisfied you have saved all the information that you want to keep, first (passwords, etc.).

What is the latest version of Firefox which can run unsigned module?
I downloaded the latest version of the installer of Firefox offline and it will not run an add-on unsigned vital. I have an older version of Firefox (42.0) who execute him. What is the latest version of Firefox without verifying signature of the add-on? Thank you.
42 of Firefox is the latest version of Firefox which has been made public. If you run a generation later, it's probably either every night, beta or Dev edition. If you have an add-on unsigned, you run in these editions, you can disable the requirement by setting xpinstall.signatures.required to false in: config.

When clicking on the + sign to a new tab it just doesn't work.
All the options on the 'preferences' and 'tab' are marked.We have recently seen reports on an extension of community toolbar causing this problem of not being able to open a new tab.
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.

I think the latest version is very slow when you access web pages. I want to return to the previous version to see if it's better. How can I go about changing back?
To return to the previous secure version which is 3.6.17, follow these steps:
- Go to Download Firefox v3.6.17 and upload it to the office.
- Then go to add/remove programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and delete it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, etc., the customizations (don't tick the box).
- Reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- Finally, run the installation file downloaded previously on the desktop.
Your bookmarks, etc., customizations are stored in a different location and will become available to you even once you complete the installation.
After completing the installation, go to the Plugins check page and update if necessary.
However, before go you that route, here are some tips to make it look like the previous version of FF4.
- Right-click on an empty part of the toolbar tab and click "Tabs on top" to remove the check mark. Tabs later reappears under the search bar.
- Repeat the same steps, but click on the top of the page, one called 'Menu bar '. This will restore the text at the top links.
- To rearrange the layout, repeat the same steps and choose "Customize". A Panel opens and who remains on the screen, you can move elements like toolbars, buttons etc. around and place them anywhere you want. You can also drag anything there that you don't like Panel and add anything you want by dragging it out of there.
- To replace the status bar at the bottom of the page, install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/

Inadvertently, I deleted Firefox and emptied the Recycle Bin. I think that it is version 3.5. I have a MAC OSX 10.4.11. After several vain attempts how can I re - install the latest compatible version of Firefox on my MAC system? Thank you!
Firefox 4.0 and newer builds from Mozilla Firefox requires that the two Mac OSX 10. 5+ and an Intel.
Either you can use http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html 3.6.19
If you 3.6.18 will be as safe as 3.6.19 was to work around a font crashing issue on 10.7 Lion which was not fixed in time on Lion before the release. http://releases.Mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/Firefox/releases/3.6.18/Mac/ and choose your language and download the Firefox 3.6.18.dmg
