  If he has problems with the update or the permissions then simpler is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.

  Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop DMG

  • Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
  • Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
  • Install the new version you downloaded

  Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

• When I click on a link in my email, a net tab opens but the page is empty

  Once the browser is done loading, drop the taskbar.
  Now, try the e-mail link. Is always the problem?

• When I click on a link, I get the address was not included

  I use outlook. When I click on a link, I get a message that "the address was not understood. I need to open links.

  Do you mean Outlook, the program which is part of Microsoft Office on your PC, or Outlook, the new Hotmail?

  If you right-click > copy the location of the link and then paste it into the address bar, it starts with an unusual Protocol? I mean, something other than http or https? If so, Firefox cannot be put in place to open links with this Protocol. What is it?

• Firefox does not have a Web site when I click on a link.

  When I click on certain links firefox opens a new tab, but does not launch the web page. The tab says (GIF, 1 x 1 pixel Image), but the screen is blank. I can get to sites on firefox to my wife, but not on mine or chrome on my computer.

  Some firewalls like Kaspersky can block content and send a GIF 1 x 1 instead.
  
  Kaspersky: Protection > firewall > Filtration System: disable the banner "Ad Blocker".

• Change the e-mail program that opens when I click on a link in a document

  Clicking on an email address in a pdf document in Acrobat Reader, Mac Mail will open instead of the e-mail program I use, Outlook for Mac 2011.  How can I change the default program that opens when you click on a link?

  Hi Meenakshi,

  I assume you mean Adobe Reader > Preferences > e-mail accounts.  I did already but get an error message: "Error communicating with the server" when I try to send a PDF by e-mail (file > Send file > Attach to Email), even if the parameters are exactly the same as in Outlook.  Don't know how to solve this problem, although simple workaround is just to save the file locally and then send it as an attachment from Outlook itself.

  But with regard to the specific question that I asked originally, I don't try to send a document as an attachment; I am trying to send an e-mail to a hyperlink address embedded in a pdf document open. It seems the setting that you referenced only affects how documents are sent as an attachment, not what client opens when you click on a link embedded in a pdf document e-mail.

  Anyway, I solved the problem of the latter: in OSX, please make sure that in the native Mail application that the default mail reader is the application that you want to use ALL the programs/applications (Mail > preferences > General > default email reader), including Adobe Reader.  Once I put this in Outlook, click an address for e-mail embedded in a document pdf opens Outlook with the address already in the field "to".

• to stop multiple spam windows open when I click on a link

  All of a sudden when I click on a link all kinds of spam windows open. I have 'Pop-up' windows defined on off... but, they always open... also suddenly online pages will have tons of highlighted words hough, they are links... and when I click on them, thinking that it is a link that's another annoying pop-up window. I checked my "plug-ins" and "add ons" and there is nothing I can find. I use Windows 7 and this problem just started this week. I performed a McAfee scan and found no virus... can help you?

  These files are not supposed to be deleted. Quite possibly user.js (thanks for the heads-up jscher2000 on hidden file extensions. A movement bonehead by Microsoft) had a content in it that made all these pop-up windows. The user.js file is not there by default unless you did so it is safe to delete it.

  Regarding the .json, those required by Firefox files. More information about the files in the profile folder can be read using the link below

• How to set up multiple home pages to open in a separate window (not a tab) when you want...

  I would like to install and be able to click on a profile of Firefox (I guess that the profile) or pass parameters to the firefox.exe and Open firefox about 6 separate windows (not tabs) on different home pages.

  If I use the vertical bar in the Options, it will open separate tabs but also cause the problem below that I also want to solve.

  Many times, I would also like to run another instance of firefox by clicking on the Firefox icon in my Quick Launch bar and DO NOT want all these sites open again.

  How is this best achieved?
  In the past I just opened each site individually in its own window.

  Thank you very much
  Peter

  You can create several shortcuts on the desktop and include the URL on the command line and use the - new-window switch to specify a new window.
  
  You must use the - new-window switch for each URL (window - new - window-new-URL1 URL2).
  
  If the command line gets to long then you must use a CMD file to store the command line complete (start "" firefox.exe - new-window etc.).
