Firefox 4 difficulties

[Carol Bird]

Mozilla Firefox kept prompting me to upgrade to Version 4 – so I did.

Since then, I have to connect manually to the Internet (rather than use the shortcut icon) otherwise Firefox says it cannot connect to the server.

Also, the Ancestry enhanced image plug-in gives me trouble, and I cannot save images directly to my PC.

Should be very grateful for any advice, please, on what I might do. Can work round it, but it takes extra time, and is rather annoying. There doesn’t appear to be an option to go back to a Firefox 3 version.

Many thanks,
Carol

Carol, Im having a lot of probs with it too :( If you go to this site -

http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/

look over on the right hand side and it gives earlier versions of FF which you can download.

There are known problems with the Ancestry Viewer with FF4 I have had to go back to 3.6

Thanks for that link Heather. I was having the same problem with Firefox 4 but have now gone back to version 3. The Ancestry image viewer is now working fine,I can now clamp on the "hand" & move the image around instead of scrolling up,down, sideways etc which was a pain in the *****.

P.S How long have we had a spellcheck on here? Never noticed it before.

Is it the Firefox spell check ? works on all sites

Heather,

Thank you so much for your help. Have gone back to FF3.6 and the image viewer is fine again - a great relief

I can always rely on an FTF member digging me out of a hole.

Warmest best wishes,
Carol
