This is because you have upgraded Firefox by some method. The only correct way to upgrade the Firefox32 application is with debs from the front page of this howto. They are still at 3.0, your install is at 3.0.1.

Can you give me the Mozilla/5.0 from About Firefox in the help menu?

Try downloading the 3.0.1 deb on the first page and installing it.

i've also tried that fix but nothing changed

Connection issues
Since the 3.0 beta and Firefox32 share a settings folder. Those that install the 32bit Firefox32 bay have to disable ivp6. This is not an issue with the Swiftweasel packages.
In the address bar type
Code:

about:config

In the filter type ipv6, right click on the line that says network.dns.disableIPv6 and select togle.
Restart the Firefox browser.

I installed Firefox32 using your script, no errors.
It runs fine but there arne't any icons,Back,Forward and so on.
also there isn't a menu bar icon either.
Where did they go?
Please advise.
