Formerly, you could right click on a tab and edit the text, e.g. change the name displayed on the tab. Suddenly that doesn't work any more. How do you do that now?

Firefox doesn't come with his feature built-in, so you must have an extension that provides this feature and this extension isn't working for some reason.

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here:

http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html Uninstall Flash Player | Mac

Then reinstall the latest version.

Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.

Flash Player Version: 25.0.0.171
