Firefox 3.5 Released with New Logo

Firefox 3.5 Released with New Logo Firefox 3.5

According to Mozillalinks.org Firefox 3.5 will be released with a new logo. According to the article, the logo hasn't been updated since Mozilla Firefox 1.5.
The first version was drawn by Jon Hicks. The second was changed a bit by Anthony Piraino in late 2007. Then, we have the new proposed Firefox logo. Why? Read the article by Firefox spokesman Alex Faaborg here.



Very good! Click to Enlarge.

Firefox 3 Browsing History Crash

Does Firefox freeze when you run over the history tab? Mine does occasionally too. Do you have Firefox 2? If so, read this page for your Firefix! In version free it's easier to fix Firefox. Fix isn't as hard and you can do it when Firefox is open!

1. If you're not using Firefox 3.0 to read this, open Firefox.

2. Click Help> About Mozilla Firefox and make sure you are running Firefox 3. (It might say Firefox 3.0.6 or even 3.1.44 or something like that. It will work.)

3. Now click on Tools> and make sure the box for Browsing History is checked. You can also choose to check or uncheck other things you may want to delete.

4. Click Go! Rather, click "Clear Private Data Now."

5. Restart Firefox.

And that's it. It's that simple! If this helped--or didn't--please leave me a comment below. Thanks!

Erase Firefox Download History

Firefox Download Freeze

This shows you how to remove the download history file so Firefox downloads doesn't load slow, freeze, and give you problems. This works on Firefox 2.0 and I assume it would be the same for Firefox 1 and Firefox 3.

1. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\ and find the owner's folder. It might be "Mike" or whatever you named it. If you don't see it in My Computer under Windows Explorer click Tools> Folder Options...> View> and uncheck Show hidden files and folders and hide extensions for known file types. (If you still can't see it uncheck hide protected operation system files, but you shouldn't have to.) You should change these back when you're done.

2. Next, go to \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\gpag1wkr.default. On XP, and I'm sure Vista is the same, you'll find several files and folders in this folder

3. Locate "downloads.rdf."

4. Close Firefox. Rename "downloads.rdf" to "downloadsBACKUP.rdf"

5. Restart Firefox. It will make a new downloads.rdf without deleting the one you renamed and the Firefox freeze should stop.

6. You might have to do this every month or 2 if you download a lot of stuff.

And, I hope you're off and running! Please comment below if this has helped you!

Fixing Firefox Crash

Firefox History Freeze

This solution will show you how to delete the history file so that when you click on Firefox History in the title bar the Firefox freeze will be eliminated. This is for Firefox 2.0. I don't know how it will work on Firefox 1.0 or Firefox 3.0. I assume it will be the same.

1. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\ then find the name of the main computer user. "Dad," "John," or whoever is the owner. If this folder doesn't show up under Windows Explorer or My Computer please click on Tools> Folder Options...> View> and make sure you Show hidden files and folders and uncheck where it says hide extensions for known file types and hide protected operation system files. You'll probably want to change these back when you've finished.

2. Inside that folder, go to \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\gpag1wkr.default. That should be a folder in which you'll find a few other folders, but also some files. (This is how it is on Windows XP. Vista might be a bit different, but should be very similar).

3. Find the file named "history."

4. Make sure Firefox is closed. Then, rename the file "history" to "HistoryBACKUP.dat" This way you can change it back

5. Restart Firefox. It will create a new file named "history" and the Firefox freeze problem will be gone.

6. Repeat as necessary. I would say you have to do it every few months, depending how your history settings are and how much you surf the web.

Hope that helps! If so, please leave me a comment below. If not, Google can help you find more solutions!
