Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

Try turning Find My iPhone off, then back on.

If the phone is actually working you can reset it fron the handset, but yours does not appear to be working. Be sure you are using a good cable and the cable is connected directly to a USB port on the computer (not a hub). Follow the instructions carefully in that link; the computer will not recognize the phone until it is in Recovery mode, and it's complicated to get it there. If you have followed the instructions exactly and it still is not recognized in iTunes. try removing and reinstalling iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925. If that still fails try a different computer, and also try restoring from DFU mode (Google is your friend).

My phone is listed as compatable on the Mozilla site, but I can not get it to locate the mobile or download it

I have the Sony Erickson Experia X10 phone with Android 2.6 running on it. My phone is listed in the compatible phones list, but I can not get it to locate the app, nor can I get it to download. I have tried from the browser, the market app and even android.com's site. I can find the mobile app on the android.com market site (via my laptop) but it insists that it is not compatible with my phone. I love my FF and want the continuity this would provide. Please help!!

There is no version 2.6 of Android. If you are using Android 1.6, then you will need to update your phone to Android 2.0 or later before you can install Firefox.
To check which version of Android you have, open the "Settings" app, then choose "About phone" and look for "Android version."

When your account becomes disabled, Apple provides the following recommendation:
"This message means that someone tried and failed to sign in to your account multiple times. The Apple ID system disables the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You need to reset your password, following the instructions at the Apple ID website".
Visit iForgot.com and follow the instructions there.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support

After restoring iPhone 4, iTunes is telling me that my SIM card is not supported. It is the same SIM I have always used with this phone.

Hello again, update time.
Finally got to speak to a senior technical advisor at Apple today who was most confused until he back-tracked and double checked all the basics. He then realised that the actual serial number of my original phone (from the proof of purchase I sent him) was different to the one that they had recorded when they made the swap. I think he said it was out by one character and was actually showing as a mobile connected to AT&T (from the States). He said that the replacement phone was then set-up as per the serial number they had typoed into their system as locked to AT&T. The genius who did the swap at Apple Doncaster must have placed an unlock on it at the time in order for my 3 SIM to work at all. Therefore when I restored it, it returned to the settings of the incorrect original phone serial number!
So... Apple tech advisor said he can rectify the records and re-set the factory setting to an Australian iPhone on the 3 network within 12-24 hours. Fingers crossed all is good by tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks for your suggestions though, I had been trying everything to get it to work as I'm sure you know how hard they are to live without once you've got used to living with one!
Cheers, Tom.

Hi adityabhargava01-
My first suggestion is to upgrade to the most recent version of Firefox by going to this link:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
My second suggestion is to read this article on how to many your preferences on how Firefox deals with PDFs and all other file types:
[[Options window - Applications panel]]
I hope that helps!

AdobeAcrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF Files in Web Browser...what do I need to do to fix this..

I just got Windows 7 and have been having problems since loading it. Most of my drivers only go to Vista and don't recognize 7.
I have trying to download some manuals from their website
and keep getting this message; Adobe Acrobat/reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in Web Browser.

Could I suggest a workaround for PDFs until a solution is posted? Open them directly in the Adobe application rather than in a browser tab.
In your Adobe application(s), go to:
Edit > Preferences > Internet
Then uncheck "Display PDF in browser"
(There are very few sites where having PDF integrated is really beneficial.)

Unable to open .pdf in Firefox 3.6.8 with Adobe Reader 9.3.3 installed. Error message is "The Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser."

I am unable to open a PDF file in Firefox 3.6.8. Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3.3 is installed. I get the error message "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser."

You can get that error if there is still an old Adobe Reader plugin in the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder.
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\nppdf32.dll
