Firefox loads for approx. a week then stops working and has to be downloaded again

For the past month or so when I try to get into Firefox it will not load. I will download Firefox and it will work for a few days and then stop working again and I have to re-download again. If this doesn't stop I will try another web browser.

Are you using cleanup or security software that runs once a week that could be causing this?
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

    Hi ..
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, check restrictions.   Settings > General > Restrictions

    My remote for my Apple TV just stopped working and I have tried putting in a new battery, re-pairing the remote, resetting the device by unplugging it, and I checked the infared coming from the remote is working. The light just blinks at me 3 times what else can I try to fix it?

    Have you tried unpairing the remote? You do this by pointing your remote at the Apple TV and holding the MENU and Left buttons down together for 6 seconds.

  • Is it possible for your ipod just to stop working and lose all your music

    I lost all my music and my itunes isnt reading that my ipod is hooked up to the computer

    Is it possible for your ipod just to stop working and lose all your music
    The answer to that is yes... Having the data on the device alone is a recipe for disappointment.

  • ITunes has stopped working and has to close message on Win 7

    When I plug my phone into the computer iTunes starts to open and then I get an error message that states iTunes has stopped working and has to close.  This seems to only happen while at work and not at home

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • "Killapps.exe has stopped working and has been closed&qu

    My card was working fine until i tried to update my drivers today. Now, no matter what version driver I attempt to install I get the error message "Killap
    ps.
    exe has stopped working and has been closed." when it begins to install the drivers. I've attempted the beta driver, the latest stable driver, and even installing the drivers off the disk. I even tried using system restore to go back to before I attempted my first update today, only to have system restore fail!? I have an X-Fi Fatalty Champion card, and am running Vista Ultimate 32 bit. Now that this has occured, I'm stuck without sound. Before you even ask, yes, I'm using the disk labled for vista that came with my card. Window's built in sound drivers (which worked when i first plugged in the card before I even installed the software a few months ago), dont even attempt to kick in. Help? Please?!

    I was having the same problem.  Earlier in the week, I was able to drag a few photos to the upload folder and they synced correctly.  Yesteday, I dragged different photos, and I got the "applephotostream.exe has stopped working" error.
    The solution - for me, at least! - was to reduce the size of the pictures being uploaded to the photostream.  While all of the pictures were jpegs, the first set were ca. 800K (3800 x 2500), and the second set were ca. 2.5 MB (4000 x 2000).  When I reduced the resolution of the last set by a factor of 4 (ca. 600 K, 2000 x 1500), they uploaded without a hitch.
    Based on this admittedly sketchy experiment, it looks like Apple has a max picture size limit, apparently based on file size rather than picture resolution).  Perhaps < 1 MB?  To be rigorous, I should complete the experiment - leave the resolution of the second set of pictures alone and reduce file size by reducing jpeg quality. 
    Has anyone heard about a picture file size limit?

  • Hp Pavilion dv6 Notebook , Driver display stopped working and has recovered

    Hi, I have a problem with my driver display.... 
    I installed the Autocad program , and after 2 weeks, every time that I open the Autocad, after 4 or maybe 5 min. the screen goes black and after that a note shows up saying: Driver display stopped working and has recovered.

    Hello @youleeus,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I have read your post on how the driver display has stopped working, that it has recovered, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    To further diagnose this issue, I recommend following the steps in this document on "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" error in Windows 7 or Windows Vista. This should help prevent the GPU on your computer from timing out.

  • While syncing my I phone it gets to step six "optimizing " and gets almost to the end and I get a message that itunes has stopped working and has to close. it get to like 1074 of 1138 items to optimize when iTunes quits. Any suggestions on how to fix this

    While syncing my I phone it gets to step six "optimizing " and gets almost to the end and I get a message that itunes has stopped working and has to close. It get to like 1074 of 1138 items to optimize when iTunes quits. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
    So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users..

  • Im trying to play a song preview it plays for like 5 sec then stops playing and know whats going on with this?

    Does anyone know why this is happing?

    Hello LindaHarp,
    It sounds like you are listening to iTunes Radio and it stops shortly after you start listening. I recommend starting by signing out of your iTunes account in Settings > iTunes & App Stores. Then close all the running apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue by signing back in to your account, and testing again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

  • TS2972 the homesharing on my apple tv works for about 5 minutes then stops working

    I had to have my the hard drive on my computer reformatted and then reload all the programs.  Since then when I pull up pictures on my TV through Homesharing, it works for about 5 minutes and then disconnects.  I have extended the time until the screen saver comes on and the time for the computer to go to sleep, but it does not seem to make any difference.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

  • Why have the Firefox Themes that i was using now stopped working and why are they unavailable to me?

    After upgrading again just days after a previous Mozilla Firefox update, my themes are now completely unavailable to me and do not appear at the top of the Firefox page even if i try changing from one to another and instead i have (Private Browsing) being displayed instead like i'm supposed to know or care what that means?
    Isn't all non - public browsing, "private browsing"?
    Is that to be my new theme?
    How hard is it for Mozilla to just leave the well - enough alone with the page and why provide upgrades every five days, your customers HATE it!

    hello, it is a known issue that light-weight themes are currently not shown when firefox is set to never remember history (a.k.a. always run in private browsing mode) in firefox/tools > options > privacy. this will be corrected in the upcoming firefox release.
