I keep getting "Unable to connect" for my firefox. It was working yesterday and I turned my computer off. I can get to the web using internet explorer 9. I don't know why my firefox is not working. Everything else is working.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.

I purchased the Killers new album and for some reason now my computer says it can't find the files. So I tried to download the album again off my iTunes acount but the cloud button won't appear. Does anyone know why this is happening?
These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
Audiobooks (and ringtones) are currently a one-time only download. I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them who are requiring the one-time only download restriction. To get it onto your other devices you will need to sync it via a computer. Depending upon what country that you are in, Audible.com have their own app (Audiobooks from Audible) so you might be able to buy direct from them, though I don't know whether you can buy within their app or download audiobooks directly from them within the app e.g. whether they need to be copied via a computer. -

I updated Firefox and now Realplayer can't download any videos( download button in upper right corner of video don't pop up and there is no download option if I right click) if I use Internet explorer it works fine, I also went in to make sure I had it checked to pop up it is?! So it's not just youtube for me its all videos!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== the last firefox update
''locking due to the age of this thread''haven't tried it myself but saw this earlier in a blog somewhere:
"try retro installing FF v3.6.3",
makes sense 'cos I've only been experiencing the same problem with mozilla & realplayer combo since updating to latest FF v3.6.4
noted that under IE realplayer plugin still works fine, button to 'download this video' comes on as before.....
from what I read retro install will pick up all your bookmarks etc. do no worries there
naughty, NAUGHTY mozilla people! you were 'bombproof' until today....what happened? good luck sorting it out though!!!! I still luv you! -
As suggested by Firefox, I cleared my history and cache. I also downloaded and ran one of the Firefox recommended malware applications. I also removed Firefox from my firewall and then added it back as suggested by Firefox. I have no problem accessing the site using Internet Explorer.
Thanks jscher2000. Yes, in Safe Mode I was able to go the site. I read the possible ways that Firefox suggests to try to fix the problem, i.e., go through all my extensions to find the problem or reset Firefox to the original factory settings. Where do you suggest I go from here?

Due to flash drive error on MBA my drive was wiped yesterday and OS re installed. How to I get my bookmarks still on my iPhone back onto the mba
Hi Nathanbeyondme!
I have an article that can help you with that question:
OS X Mountain Lion: Store your content in iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11421
Safari bookmarks and tabs
iCloud keeps your bookmarks and Reading List the same in Safari on your Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. On your Mac, Safari also uses iCloud to let you open tabs that are open on your other devices. You set up the Safari service in iCloud preferences.
If you are having issues with syncing these bookmarks, you will want to reference the following article:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List

I had FF 4.0 Beta 12. While deleting some Wild Tangent games, everything went black and I haven't been able to get to Firefox since, (about 7-8 weeks. I click on the desktop icon for FF and I do get the FF screen with the FF icon on top left and the minimize, maximize and exit icons on the top right. However, the screen is just white and I can't open anything up. This is driving me crazy because the only way I can get to the internet is through IE and I hate it. I do get a crash report from FF and I fill it out and send it in with my email but I hear nothing from FF because I don;t think you get the report. I want my FF back and I'm going very frustrated trying everything and nothing works. Please, please help me if you can. Thanks, Cathy

My ipad won't turn on. i don't know why. i tried rebooting it but it didn't work. help.
my ipad won't turn on. i tried rebooting it but it didn't work. i don't know what happened. can anyone explain why happen to my unit?
When you say a reboot do you mean a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. Happened to me once, about 6 months ago, and a reset got it working again.

So in Firefox, my mouse doesn't operate for the above. Nor can I click on certain links when in Firefox but in Internet Explorer the mouse functions fine. I Like firefox better than IE but is currently uninstalled. This problem started after I chaged anti-virus software.
Recently both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause an issue like that. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

Almost 12 hours ago, after opening the browser ( home page is https://www.google.ro/ ) I navigated to wikipedia to search for a airplane and suddenly it opened by itself a new window with a " Mozilla annually survey ". I took that survey, which was consisting of 4 questions.
After that survey, randomly firefox started opening Adds.
I'll post here the link which i think might be " doing" this, if this is some kind a virus.... I'm just saying, because i can't find any explanation.

I have uploaded a Print Screenof my firefox and the Windows 7 Task Manager. You can see that firefox is using a big amunt of RAM and the Flash Player plugin too, half a gigabyte. I don't think it's normal, because it has never used so much memory not even when i opened 10 videos simultaneously on youtube that uses this plugin.
I hope that the picture has been uploaded, because in the last 10 minutes that I've spent writing this the square picture where the uploaded file should be has been loading all the time. Even now it is saying ""Uploading "Firefox Problem 3.png"... """ .
if you need more from me to tell you, i will.
