On my previous Firefox browser I mainly used applications on the google toolbar, not Yahoo, one that is not as good as the google toolbar. Now, the google toolbar disappeared and when I tried to download, he said that it is incompatible with Firefox 5. I noticed there are a number of queries on this subject, but no solution found. I'm sure you can give an update to allow us to recover our toolbar with all our info stored. Otherwise, I might have to use IE.
Many users have gotten the function of the Google toolbar again by installing the Add-on Compatibility Reporter. Google just needs to test the toolbar with Firefox 5 and change something in their code specifying the versions of Firefox with which it is compatible.

Hi experts, I cleaned my harddrive using shift delete but also normal deletion and then empty the trash. I do so I can prepare to be sold on if I find a moment (and buyer).
I am told however that this actually does not remove the files but brand only as "too accessible writing." And that it takes a while - depending on how much has been marked to be deleted permanently - for these files too write.
How can I make sure all the files I want to permanently delete are not recoverable with advanced software?
How long would it take to write too say 20 GB of data?
Your feedback is very much appreciated.
Rgds,
WV
Use Google or Bing to search for 'file shredder' or 'secure erase' software which will overwrite files with random patterns of data, making them unrecoverable by most of the efforts. HOWEVER, please keep in mind that no matter what you do, away from physically destroy the hard drive, there are always ways to recover files even if these files have disappeared in a secure way. That's why U.S. Federal agencies requiring a high security have their hard drives shredded into metal fragments when they have access to computers.

I'm not able to use Firefox Hello. I get a message that it is not available in versions of Firefox ESR. How can I change my version of Firefox? I'm a home user and when I click on the link update my personal version of Firefox I get a message telling me I have the latest version. So, I'm stuck. I also used to have a link to beta "Hello" when it first came out (he was working at the time). This link is now expired. Can someone help me understand how to establish access to 'Hello '?
Hello will also work where you have configured firefox to run in permanent private browsing mode ("never remember history" in options > Privacy panel).

Hello
How to download the previous version Flash player 18.0.0.194, which was perfectly with my software.
I have no way to find this version?
Thanks in advance,
Hi fabriced14109362,
Previous versions of Flash Player are displayed in the archived Flash Player versions. Download the zip file for the version that you want and extract content. Unless you are a developer, you'll want to use the Setup program in the folder named with the version number (for example 18.0.r0.194). The folder with "debug" in the name (for example 18.0.r0.94_debug) contains debuggers of content for developers, and will likely display errors during normal Expo.
Also, before you install the previous version, you will need to install the latest version by using the uninstall program posted here:
- OS X: Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS
- Windows: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows

I want to continue to use Firefox as my default browser. However several sites that I regularly use only support the 'other' browser. Is it possible to identify these non friendly sites and have them open in different browser?
Swardwell wrote:

Not really. Some obsolete sites may have a "Better known with Internet Explorer" note somewhere, but even those who might very well work in Firefox.

where I can download windows 2000 to my laptop, it was the original windows for my laptop but I upgraded to xp, thinking that it would be quicker but it has become very slow, so I want to go back to 2000, but it was preinstalled and I do not have a disk but have the keycode on the basis of my computer laptop can anyone help
You are unable to download any version of Windows. You must contact the computer manufacturer that built your computer and install Windows 2000 on it to see if you can get a copy of their share. I highly doubt you will be able to because Windows 2000 is entirely not taken in charge since 2005.
