There may be a problem with one of the files that stores details of installed extensions. Try deleting these files as shown in the "Corrupt extension files" section of this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
Though that article is not specifically about your problem, the method shown in the corrupt extension files section may help. When you restart Firefox after deleting those files, the list of installed extensions is rebuilt and this will hopefully fix your problem.

Firefox freezes about five seconds after I open it, and whenever I use Ctrl+alt+delete to close it I get told that it is waiting for a response from me.

I am having a problem with Firefox. Whenever I open it, it runs fine for about five seconds and then freezes. A small white rectangle appears in the upper left corner of the browser window. The screen still scrolls fine, but whenever I try clicking on anything (including the menus in the toolbar), it just gives me an unresponsive 'ding' sound. When I try closing the programme with Ctrl+alt+delete, I get a message saying 'The system cannot end this programme as it is waiting for a response from you'. I originally had this problem with an earlier version of Firefox and tried installing Firefox 4 to see if this helped. It worked for two days and began doing it again. I have already tried un- and re-installing Firefox and restarting my computer, and Firefox will not run properly for long enough to let me disable any add-ons or plug-ins. What can I do to fix this?
I've added a couple of screencaps of the problem. (or tried to)

Have also since found out that to start FF4 in safe mode you just hold shift whilst double-clicking the icon. We only find these things out after the event, murphy's law!

How do I align a drop down menu in Firefox (using HTML)? My site works in Chrome and Explorer how I want it to, but not Firefox.

There are 2 issues that arise in Firefox but not other browsers.
1. The "All Categories" drop down menu is not aligned with the search field and search button.
2. The company logo appears pixelated.
The website is www.fortune3.com/evereadyhardware
Please view in Firefox and in Chrome to note the differences. Thank you.

I keep getting the error message "could not open a scratch file because the file is locked" even after resetting my preferences. I have to use Ctrl, Alt, Shift to start photoshop every time

I'm unable to start Photoshop without holding down Ctrl, Alt, Shift each time I open it. Also Lightroom is now unable to open photos in Photoshop. I'm at a loss as to how to fix this.

Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

When I close firefox and put my computer to sleep, the next day try to run firefox and it says its already running and I have to close it first; I have to ctrl+alt+delete to end the process and THEN start firefox.

The only other way to avoid this problem is to fully shutdown, or restart my computer.

There are other things that need attention.

Bean Bandit aka The Road Buster is a local freelance courier for hire. While he and his partner Rally Vincent, sweet natured gun toting blonde, are sought after by the local P.D. and an Inspector with a fuel tank for a brain, it's not the local cops he's worried about but his string of new clientele. From being the get away driver for a moron to the patsy of a kidnapping, Bean and Rally have their work cut out for them in this insanely hilarious rendition.

So here is all my code/tag, everything works fine until we get to the drop down part. The UL UL doesn't create the drop down. The idea here is to get rid of all this outdate tabling I was using for this page. However, my attempts to make this drop down menu work aren't going well. Can anyone help me find the problem?

I think the problem is in your HTML code.

Why does my drop down menu not have setup sync?

MY drop down menu in Firefox does not include setup sync. Do I have the latest version of firefox? I amd trying to sync info with my new laptop.

Firefox > Tools > SYNC NOW
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

The add-on "Disconnect" no longer displays the drop down menu properly after updating Firefox to v29.

This add-on extension "Disconnect", after upgrading to Firefox 29 now displays only a tiny drop down box when clicked vs the full drop down menu. Before the upgrade it worked fine. It does this whether adding it to the tool icons in the upper right of the window (left of the new Firefox dropdown menu) or whether adding it to the Firefox menu itself as an additional icon. The extension appears to work in terms of blocking adds/tracking, as before, just can't see what is in the drop down menu. Already tried disabling and re-enabling, no change.

hello pkoof, please directly contact the extension developers through the means provided at the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/disconnect homepage] - they can likely give you more detailed guidance and are the only ones who can fix bugs or make necessary adjustments in the addon for new firefox versions. thank you...

Drop Down Menu selection query for recordset.

I am looking to utilize a dynamic drop down menu to query a recordset...I am using Colfusion to import an MS Access database that contains the following fields: "Model Date", "Name", "Points" and "Target". Each time the database updates, the "Model Date" field contains the date and time the model was run. I have figured out how to create a dynamic drop down using SELECT DISTINCT "model date" and have also figured out how to create the dynamic recordset to be displayed showing the "Name", "Points" and "Target" data.
I want the user to select the "Model Date" from the drop down, hit a submit button and then have the appropriate "Name", "Points" and "Target" data queried and shown below.
The query should take the selection from the "model date" dropdown and then query the "name", "points" and "target" fields for that particular "model date"
I admit my knowledge of SQL and Coldfusion is not the best, but it seems like this is a somewhat simple task and I am just missing one or two pieces of the cog to put it all together.
The database basically looks like this:
Model Date...........Name..........Points........Target
8/1/2010 08:00......John Doe.....1,250.........5.55%
8/1/2010 08:00......Jane Doe.....850............2.35%
8/1/2010 08:00......Bill Smith....11,832........-123.23%
8/2/2010 09:02......John Doe.....1,323.........6.67%
8/2/2010 09:02......Jane Doe.....1,001.........3.21%
8/2/2010 09:02......Bill Smith....10,235........-110.26%
The dropdown will only show the "model dates"
8/1/2010 08:00
8/2/2010 09:02
For example, if 8/1/2010 08:00 was selected from the dropdown, I want the following displayed:
Name..................Points...................Target
John Doe.............1,250....................5.55%
Jane Doe.............850.......................2.35%
Bill Smith............11,832...................-123.23%
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Mike

My second paragraph talks about just displaying the filtered data, so I'm assuming that's what you're looking for, but still not quite sure based on what the other responses are.
But I head on anyway -
On your first page, make note of the instance name of your drop down menu, such as "ModelDate". Make sure it's in a Form and set the form action to the page where you want to display your data, set the form action to POST.
On the results page, create a table with cells for each of the data elements you want to display. Create a recordset which you can do in Simple mode. Leave it at select all, and set the filter drop down to the database field which contains your Model Date. In the box to the right, select "=". the next dropdown selct "Form Variable" and the variable name type in the instance name of the drop down on the first page.
I may not have the terminology right, doing it from memory.
From the data bindings tab, expand your recordset and locate each of the database fields you want to display. Drag each one to the table cell on the page where you want it displayed. The table cells have to be in a linear row.
Now, select the table row buy selecting the TR tag in the tags just above the properties panel. In the server behaviors tab, select repeat region and "All Records"
Publish your pages and test!

Browser drop down menu not working

My browser/navigation drop down menu is no longer working. I'm unable to select my most visited sites without have to type in the web address every time, how do i fix this issue?

I can access the website, but the drop down menu (from the navigation menu bar) doesn't save the web address, so i still have to type in comcast.net or www.yahoo.com every time, vs clicking on the drop down menu (from the navigation menu bar) if that makes sense.

I've lost my drop down menu for my back and forward buttons. I use them constantly. How do I add this or is that option gone for good?

There used to be a drop down menu along side the forward and back buttons so you could skip several pages in between. I couldn't find that as an option to customize that feature back is that option no longer available?

Hi Emclatchy,
In Firefox 4 you should be able to get the history drop-down menu by left-clicking on the back button or the forward button and holding the mouse button down for a few seconds.
Or, you can try installing this add-on:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/backforedrop/
I haven't tried it myself but it is supposed to add the history drop-down indicator back to Firefox 4, same as it was in previous versions.
Hope that helps,

Are you using a home network?
Try the following :
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

After navigating (sometimes downloading pictures, sometimes not) for approximately 10 minutes, I can no longer see contents of drop down menues, then Firefox freezes up and I have to use Ctrl/Alt/Delete to end my internet experience.
