AFter updating Firefox, I can login to facebook but cannot open new messages and cannot logout from FAcebook

HI,
Since upgrading from Firefox 10 to Firefox 15.0.1 I have problems with Facebook. I upgraded to Firefox 16.0.1 and still have the same problem (with Facebook).
There are two problems.
1. If you have a new message (for example), a small red square with a number - eg '1' or '2' appears in the top left hand corner. When I click on this/these squares, it will not open - there fore I am unable to see what the message is.
2. I am unable to logout. When I click on the small arrow, instead of a box dropping down it takes me to account settings.
Even if I close the webpage, I am still logged in until I close Firefox. I have searched on google but can not find any help or answer to my problem.
I have tried the suggestion listed on Firefox, but nothing helps. I have cleared cache, cookies, history etc. and done all the things listed on Firefox, but still the problem persists.
I do not have this problem with Internet Explorer. I do not like Internet Explorer and have no wish to use it. Please help.
Thank you.

Hi,
You can try to '''Clear Now''' the '''Cache''', '''Cookies''', and '''Site Preferences''' with '''Time range to clear''' set to '''Everything''' via '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History Clear Recent History].
If the problem persists, you can reset Firefox and start afresh.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Downloaded firefox and can't get rid of ebay in search window

Everytime i have downloaded firefox, ebay is in search column. If i go ahead and type a desired address in search such as cement it carries me to items related to cement for sale on ebay site. No matter what, firefox carries me to ebay. Where does this contaminant come from and how do I get rid of it?

Hi Bobazane8,
Firefox has the search engine selected as eBay. You can't get rid of it, but you can select a different search engine such as Google or Yahoo so if you want to search for that term, it'll pull it up on the search engine of your choice.
Simpy click the eBay logo next to the search field and select your choice.
See image below to see what I am talking about.

SMB-problem: can see/manage files, but cannot open from Windows 8.1

I have some files shares on a Mavericks server (clean install, including OSX Server). I can connect and see the shared files from my Windows clients (both 7 and 8.1). I can even create files, rename them, etc. From Windows 7 i can also open and edit them. So far, so good!
From Windows 8.1 however, opening does not work: simple text-files and pdf's don't open at all (server cannot execute instruction/file already open), office documents can only be opened in read-only mode.
In the System log (on OSX Server) are a lot of lines like: smbd[714]: File system does not support 0x0 time attributes (or does not support 0x400000, file attrs).
Using Windows Power Shell, I figured out that there is a SMB2.1 connection between Windows and OS X, which seems
to be correct. It appears that OS X judges that Windows is using one or more wrong parameters in an SMB-system call.
I had lots of SMB-problems using Mountain Lion (Snow Leopard server was fine). I don't want to force my Windows machine to use SMB1 (for all shares) using the commands found in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2696547 (I didn't try yet).
Any help would be appreciated.

So I have the exact same issues. I actually called Microsoft Support and they tried a bunch of different things. They even tried disabling SMB 2 and 3 on my Windows 8.1, but then I was unable to connect to my OS X 10.9.1 Server share point at all anymore!
Here is what I found out. When I start up from my 10.6.8 Server backup on my Macmini Server, and then mapped the network drive on letter G on Windows 8.1 Pro client machine to that very same share point - worked like a charm. I can read , write and such all fines on that share. All is well. Leaving the Windows 8.1 client alone, on the macmini server I selected the upgraded 10.9.1 Server volume and restarted the Macmini Server. After restart, guess what, I was able to perfectly access the files from Windows 8.1 on the OS X share point which of course was still mapped as drive G on 8.1 from earlier.
Now here comes the kicker. I went ahead and restarted Windows 8.1 and then everything went haywire! I opened the Windows 8.1 desktop and brought up My Computer. I saw that the mapped drive G is no longer connected (red X). I went ahead and double clicked it and then Windows Explorer simply hug itself and wouldn't come back. I had to force quit explorer and ended up ultimately restarting Windows. After restart I went ahead and disconnected the mapped network drive (G), and then re-mapped it. I authenticated with the very same username and password as before. This time I am able to see all the files once again, but can't open or work with any of them. It is super jinxed. In my opinion there is a severe bug in Apples SMB 2 or smbx or whatever they call it. Why couldn't thy just leave it alone and pay a licensing fee and use Samba? It's just so stupid!!!!
Apple, you must fix this problem. I will tell the server tech that I have been working with the very same thing. They should have never release 10.9. It was premature and not ready for prime time. It's good to know that there is a work around however. It is super teadious, and spastic, but hey, at least I get it to work. Either it has something to do with authentication, or the way OS X 10.9 responds when mapping a network drive on windows 8.1 pro? No clue.
Apple does not pay me to Q&A their software. This stuff should simply work! I am ****** off and have wasted now over 3 weeks of my precious time banging my head against the wall with Apple stuff.
Come one guys, get your stuff straightened out. thanks.

Can see and recognize my wireless network and Internet is working, but I can't connect with ANY computers/iPad/iPod/air TV, etc. I have reset the time machine several times, and can see the network, but cannot access it with any device. PLEASE HELP!

I have Comcast Internet and have it connected to a Motorla Surfboard modem and have that running directly to a 2TB Time Capsule. The TC is serving as our time machine as well as our wireless router. We lost power in a storm a week ago and can no longer connect to my wireless network I can see the network and sign into it via password, but cannot connect with any device(iMac, MacBook, iPhones, iPod touches, air tv, etc.). ALL of these devices worked gat before the power went out. I reset both modem and TC and still can't connect. I can connect to the Internet through Ethernet cord directly from the modems dn have confirmation(per Comcast service) that the Internet is working and we have a good connection.
The TC is less than six months old so I'm not sure what is wrong. I have reset settings with TC to no avail. I have reset the TC SEVERAL times and have no idea what could be wrong and what is prohibiting me from connecting. Anyone that has ANY suggestions or ideas as to how to fix this, PLEASE HELP!!! I'm going crazy using iPad 3G and not being able to connect to our wifi. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING BACK TO THE 21ST CENTURY!

Anyone have any ideas or information to help with this? Any help and consideration is MUCH appreciated.

Trying to download ps and can't get creative cloud to open

Trying to download PS but cant get creative cloud to install and open

Without system info and other details nobody can even guess.

I download Firefox and can't install it. Get a "Not valid Win32 application." I get this with any program I want to install. I suspect a virus.

No program that has not been installed will linstall. No matter which I try, I always get "Not a valid Win32 application." I also clicked the "Automatic troubleshooting information," below, and it never stopped downloading so I was not able to go any further. It seems Windows must be fixed, somehow, but I have no idea about that. I tried to install both AVG and Avast anti-virus but it seems to be too late. Whatever I have prevents either of them from installing, too.
Nothing ever popped up, including a window with Allow. As the alternative, I don't see a Help>Troubleshooting Information, either.

Have downloaded 2014, installed and uninstalled, reinstalled as instructed, but cannot open. Get an Error Code 5

I am in a bind, here... have installed Muse 2014... I've done everything as instructed, including un-installing, installing, uninstalling and re-installing. Both times of the install, noticed there were two different malwares attached. I would just like to have good old Muse back so I can complete my project and move on. Can get no help with chat; Phone tech won't help, they've directed me here.
Hope someone can help me.

Hi Jeff,
Just reported to Zak with many thanks, the fact that turning off the
Malware Detector then downloading Muse 2014, worked like a sweet song!
Re-upped the Malware Detector as soon as Muse opened. It was GLORIOUS.
You may have thought it was a real virus, as your Webroot certainly did (I
too, have Webroot) but it's not an actual virus or malware. Webroot just
thinks it is and thinking that, is programmed to take care of it and hence,
your installation is corrupted. I've done this uninstall, reinstall at
least 4 times, rebooting and trying to open to the point of utter
frustration. To get a resolution with Adobe, I tried 'chat', phone and
finally was turned on to the forum. Zak knows what he's talking about. I
HAVE MUSE!!!!
Good luck,
Ann --

My iPhone 5 has suddenly gone black and I cannot see anything on it but the phone rings when someone calls and can pick the call, but cannot view anything

My phone has suddenly gone blank, total black screen can't even dial any contacts but the phone does ring

Reset the phone (no data loss): press both the home and power buttons for up to 1 minute, releasing when the Apple logo appears.

I can open Windows Live with Ff4 and can 'see' emails but cannot open them. It was fine with Ff3. Is there a plug-in?

If I right click on the messenger icon on the toll bar it opens windows live in firefox by default. Then the page just hangs. I can see the emails but cannot open them. It works ok if I load in internet explorer browser.

That format is used primarily to record TV shows, which you are generally not allowed to edit. So it's unlikely you'll find a plug-in or converter.
Recapture using Premiere Pro or HDVSplit. Those files will work.

I have used Firefox for many years. Now I can receive E-mail but cannot send it from Firefox. Just re-installed Mozilla and still cann't send E-mail.....

I cannot send mail from Firefox. Can receive E-mail but cannot send it. This worked OK until today. I have had firefox for many years. Just reinstalled Mozilla and still cannot send E-mail from firefox.
I use comcast.net for E-mail,using Mozilla to get there.

If your Office email account's SMTP authenticated?
Any error message provided and if so, what?
Are you also accessing an email account and SMTP server provided by SBCGlobal.net with either email client and if so, are you able to send messages with this account and SMTP server when connected to the internet via SBCGlobal.net at home?
And let me get this straight - both email clients work fine without any problems sending messages with your Office email account and SMTP server when connected to the internet at a friend's house that uses another ISP besides SBCGlobal.net but this is an Apple problem?
If an Apple problem, then you'd have problems sending messages with this account and SMTP server regardless whose network and ISP you are connected to.
Regardless what this more than likely under-trained or just unaware person at SBCGlobal.net told you, all ISPs have restrictions on using an SMTP server that is outside of their network or that isn't provided by the ISP used for connecting to the internet.
Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated server only that is outside of their network but some block its use regardless.
Within the last year or so, SBCGlobal.net made a drastic change in regards to such restrictions and conveniently neglected to inform their customers beforehand. Those using an SMTP server that was outside of SBCGlobal.net's network regardless if the SMTP server was authenticated were required to "opt out" of Port 25 blocking with SBCGlobal.net in order to use an SMTP server that was outside of their network which was working fine before this change was made.
Have you opted out of Port 25 blocking with SBCGlobal.net?

Since downloading firefox, I can no longer open a PDF file? How do I get my computer to open PDF files?

I am enrolled in college and have to down load graph paper. The teacher posted a link to her copies of graph that we can download at home. The graph paper link is a PDF file and when I click on the link the page opens but it's only a white page. I also have this problem whenever I try to open any PDF file. Usually, the screen goes black. This problem started when I downloaded firefox and I do not know how to fix it. Can you help?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
 Cheers, Tom

I have always had "When I open a link, switch to the tab immediately" UNchecked. I just downloaded Firefox 4, it is still unchecked, but it keeps switching to the linked tab, and it's driving me crazy. Any suggestions?

I use Windows XP on a netbook, have never had an issue with this before downloading 4, and can't think of any way to not have the tab I just opened pop up on top instead of leaving me on the page i was on, and opening in the background.

This issue can be caused by an extension.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Downloaded latest firefox and can't bring in lexulous game anymore.

Just updated firefox and can no longer bring in lexulous game from the notification email on Outlook which has the link. I had to make chrome my default browser temporarily. Why?

Hello cameraman, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Also, maybe it is not related, but in your system details it seems that you have in your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Windows profile folder] a [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file User.js file].
The user.js file '''does not exist by default'''. If you create the file, forget it, if you have not create the file then delete the User.js file (some programs create and write in the file also).
'''Disable also the older version of Flash'''(Shockwave Flash 11.7 r700), keep only the latest (Shockwave Flash 14.0 r0)
thank you

I download firefox and can open it once but cannot open it again.
