Firefox tries to download entire mp3 rather than stream it, as it did in previous versions, how do I get my stream-ability back?

Firefox refuses to stream mp3 files within the browser now that I've upgraded to 6.0.1. I was running 3.5 something which I loved and accidentally upgraded- after much adjusting and tweaking I'm kind of ok with 6.0.1... except for this mp3 issue.
It insists on downloading the entire mp3 before it will play any of it- which is a real killer on my slow connection when I listen to several hour long mixes pretty much 100% of the time.
Is there a way that I can get my stream-ability back?
Note: in the applications tab under FF prefs I've tried all the options;
-Use quicktime plug-in 7.6.6 (in firefox) (it doesn't work like it should)
-Always ask (which tells me I lack required software)
-Save file (just as slow as what it's doing, except it takes it to my DL manager)
-Use itunes (I want them to stream in browser)
Any help?

You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page.

See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
Try to reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

Hi. I'm trying to download itunes on vista 32 bit. I've uninstalled my previous version of itunes. Each time I start downloading it stops at 12% - every time. I've turned off my pop-up blocker. Any ideas greatly appreciated

After this frustrating event, just wanted to let others know how I solved it. After fully deleting iTunes 8 - still no success. Finally went to the Apple store in Perth WA. Using their in store wireless, it downloaded fully. I use wireless 3 and obviuosly the signal is not strong enough. The Apple store is one amzing experience - worth the frustration with getting iTunes 10 downloaded. Will have to take another visit to the store as my upgrades keep falling over.

My iTunes is no longer working. I uninstalled and reinstalled but the program won't open and run. I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening and I think something has been deleted that I need to open the iTunes. How do i figure out what is gone

I uninstalled and reinstalled but the program still won't open. I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening. Instead the site tried to install a new audio player. I did not want it so uninstalled it immediately. I think in that process something was deleted that I need for iTunes but I do not know what. How do i figure out what is gone and recover it?
I did try a system restore - but that was not a fix either.

Ackk ... that behavior is consistent with the play_mp3.exe trojan:

Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hour on my Lenovo.)

Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look.

I've been trying to download IOS5 for more than 2 hours. Do I need to stop and restart the download?

I think I would cancel it. Unplug phone, then plug back in and then maybe only select download instead of download and install. Thats what I did for our phones and so far we have no issues at all with any of the features - new or old. I don't know why that would make a difference though. But it will allow you to unplug your phone once the download starts and go do your thing while its downloading. Then you can come back later and when u plug in iTunes will ask you to install new software for phone.

While trying to search something on google, Firefox tries to download my search

While trying to search something on google, Firefox tries to download my search as if i clicked on a download link to a program.
Although this does not happens all the time, it is frequent enough to become frustrated.
I have a screen shot if this if it is needed.

We've had past threads on this, but I need a little more info to find them. What is the name of the file that Firefox wants to save?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
This will open a dialog where you can remove your Google cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

Because that's the way you setup your account. Whether the app is free or not is irelevent, apparently the payment method you selected when originally setting up your account is no longer valid, hence your account is not longer valid. Either fix your selected payment method or setup a new app store account without a credit card:

Google Toolbar Options, in the Search tab, make sure that '''Enable the Google new tab page''' is check-marked. If that doesn't fix it for you, see this for support information about the Google Toolbar.

Reset your Apple ID password, instructions here > Apple - My Apple ID
Then launch iTunes on your computer. Then from the menu bar click Store / View My Account / Edit Payment Information.
Make sure your billing information is correct including the expiration date for your credit or debit card and the security code then click Done.
Restart your iPod. Try downloading an app.
If you are using a credit balance from an iTunes gift card make sure there are sufficient funds to cover any purchases from the account area in the iTunes store.

Just sign the old user ouf of the store, and sign back in with your AppleID and password.
Just scroll down to the bottom of the store screen, click on the Apple ID bar, click on sign out, then sign back in with your AppleID.
Note though that if the phone already has apps on it purchased by the previous owner, those are permanently tied to the previous owners Apple ID - you would need their password to update any of those apps. The only option to you to update any of them would be to delete them, and purchase them yourself using your own Apple ID.

My txt message settings recently changed to send txts from my Mac email rather than my phone# and there doesn't seem to be a way to change the settings back. The phone# in receive at screen is under intensified so unselectable. Any suggestions?

After reading what you have posted, I checked my iPhone 4S. When looking at messages in settings, my receive at has 2 addresses, my phone number and my Apple ID email address. The phone number is "under intensified" as you describe it. Checking the Caller ID, it shows my phone number and Apple ID email. The phone number is checked. This all seems to be the same as you describe yours. My text messages are all working as they always have, and they are showing as coming from my phone number. Both to people that I iMessage with and people that I can only text with. I'm not sure why you say texts are being sent from your Mac email. Did someone receive a text that shows the email as the return address?
