Firefox Browser Problems

On my OS X mac there are two problems that are quite annoying:

1. When I'm in the "manage bookmarks" window if I put a word in the search field and press return the program crashes every timeW.

2. When I've hidden a browser window by clicking on the top left yellow button the application won't allow me to open a new window unless I bring the hidden one up first.

Any fixes?

Many thanks

What version of Firefox are you using? I am using the G4 Optomized one here on my Mac Mini and tried both things and they both worked every time.

and i dont have those problems and im just using 1.0.7

1. Trash Firefox, and search for the rest of remnants from Firefox in the finder by doing a search for "Firefox" then delete them (ex. .plist file and folders). Then reinstall.

2. I seem to have that problem too. Use Apple + N instead.

I'm using 1.0.7. Where do I find the g4 optimized version?

Hope that did not confuse you. 1.0.7 should be fine. I was just stating which version I was using. My version is for older G4 Macs. If you have a newer Mac stick with 1.0.7 as it's the latest version out.

Try what iWhat posted. It just might work. I was just trying to figure out of maybe you had an old and oudated version. You have the latest.

I followed your instructions and it all works. Thanks!

Oh, good. Glad they worked for you.
