I was using firefox just fine. It didn't work perfectly but it fit what I needed. Then today I got an update notice so I hit the download update. Now I cannot use firefox at all on my laptop. What a sleazy way to get rid of people on older systems. This summer when I replace my laptop I'm skipping firefox.

Agreed. They are a different breed. Not a gram of compassion . It's all about the money. Sleazy indeed.

What money ?? Firefox is free, always has been and will always be free.

Wamma, you haven't indicated how the problem is presenting itself. If you do, then you may be able to get some good suggestions on how to fix it.

Updates don't work 100% of the time for everyone, with ANY software. There's a good community of users here who are willing to help, with your co-operation.

wamma is running Mac OSX 10.4

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_4_11; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.19.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.1.3 Safari/533.19.4

The last version of Firefox made for that older operating system was 3.6.28 - he shouldn't have been offered an update yesterday.


He needs to reinstall that version - ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/3.6.28/mac/en-US/
