I was told to use Mozilla Firefox to use 'mirc" whatever that is ---but my computer won't let me---can someone walk me through the process?

Here's the deal. I want to go to multiplayertrivia.com and play this interactive online trivia game, and I can't seem to get started. I know my computer is capable of this, because I signed up and used this "mirc" thing before when using a different internet provider, to play this same game. Current internet provider (comcast) refuses to help.
Warning: I do not speak techno-speak and I am nearly completely technologically illiterate. You will have to talk down to me.

You can try contacting Apple here.

You do know tht if you created a new Apple ID - that is different than changing the Apple ID. Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to make the purchase. If the old ID is popping up, it seems like that ID is rid to the apps indicating that you created a new ID. Of course, I could be wrong or misunderstanding what you're saying as well.
If you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap your old ID and sign out and then sign in with the new ID, that should be all that you need to do, if you changed the ID. If you created a new ID, that will not work.

I am using Lightroom and a HP Photosmart 7520 Printer. My photos when printed look pitiful. Can someone walk me through the settings please!

Lightroom 4 is the version

Describe pitiful.
Is your monitor calibrated?
Does your printer use paper profiles? If it does, do you know how to use them?
Did this just start happening?
What is your operating system?
How much RAM do you have?

I used to be able to download files from the Harddrive of my Sony Handycam, but now it won't let me import them while going through "log and transfer." I have tried to update my settings, but this doesn't seem to work. Any help would be much appreciated

Hard Drive: The Hard Drive is on my camera (Sony Handycam)
Just needed some info on what is going on with your particular system.
Knowing the exact camera model will also assist us.
If this camera is standard AVCHD you should be able to connect with USB to Mac with FCE open and use Log and Transfer without all the fiddling around converting etc.
What FCE does during ingest is convert files to AIC. (Apple Intermediate Codec)
FCE cannot read the individual files in the BDMV folder, that's why all the converting is required when you use that method.
BTW: regards formatting drives/cards/memory on cameras; it is wise to use the actual device to format rather than a computer. This is a prime cause of read/write goof ups with solid state media. This applies to still or video cameras.
Keeping the COMPLETE card/memory structure in tact is vital for successful transfers.

Firefox is starting up on its own. I don't want it to because sometimes I don't need it, and when I go to shut down, computer won't let me because Firefox is running and I didn't know it. What to do?

I used to be in control of whether or not Firefox would load for any particular session on my computer. Now, probably after some update I got in the recent past, Firefox has a mind of its own. It opens every time I turn on my computer. There are times I don't want to use any browser, including Firefox. For example, sometimes I just want to look at my mail. Don't have time for anything else, but my computer won't let me shut it down. Why? Firefox sneaked in. So I have to find it and close it before I can shut down the computer.
HELP!!! How can I stop Firefox from automatically loading?
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, when you are going to turn off or restart your Mac, you will see a box called "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window. Untick this box and see if the App Store opens automatically in the next startup.
If it starts, open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items, and see if the App Store shows up. If so, remove it from this list

I tried down loading mozilla firefox to use as a web browser. It was downloaded 100% then when prompted to "run" the error message comes up with a red cross and the message'This file is corrupted" and won't let me proceed. What do I do now?

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox. 
You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* Create an allow cookie exception (Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
* In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.

How do I create a new email address using Mozilla Firefox 5?

I'm using Mozilla Firefox 5 as my Browser as I like it and Internet Explorer 9 doesn't work well with many sites I use. I would like to set up an email on your site, if possible, instead of my home email. I want to delete my old, other emails from Yahoo and deactivate that account. Can u help me? Do u have an email setup? I saw Thunderbird, but don't know if it's updated and it always has a popup that it's encrypted and not safe to use. Thank you. Geri aka FireFoxLady

Thunderbird is a email client and the Thunderbird is still being maintained as Thunderbird 5.0 was released recently. In order use Thunderbird you need to have a email account somewhere. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
Firefox as you know is a web browser as the closest it deals with emails is when you view a webmail service at say Gmail or Yahoo or such.
Mozilla themselves do not have a email service, at least not for the public as select Mozilla employees do have a @mozilla.com email address.

How do I create a functional bookmark shortcut on my Linux Zorin 6.0 desktop using Mozilla Firefox 15.0.1?

I am a VERY recent transferee from Windows-XP SP-3 using IE-8 to Linux Zorin 6.0 using Mozilla Firefox 15.0.1. The Linux program Emulation, using GnoMenu 2.9, is similar to Windows-7. The transferrence of my Bookmarks (Favorites) from Windows system to the Linux system was successful. However, I seem to have lost the capablility of opening/viewing my Bookmarks from the desktop. I must now have to open Mozilla Firefox browser in order to open/view my Bookmarks.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Since I am VERY new to Linux OS, the advice should be test-proven (Beta tested), accurate, and fail-safe.

Why should you wish to open the bookmarks from the Desktop without opening Firefox ?
Note that Firefox will import and export HTML bookmark files, but does not natively use HTML bookmarks. The bookmarks along with the history are in a SQL database ''places.sqlite'' and backups are .json files .
The bookmarks library can be searched and sorted, and may include tags keywords and a visit count.
If what you are trying to do is have individual desktop shortcuts to individual webpages that should be easy to do. On Windows or Ubuntu the icon from the firefox URL bar will dragon & drop to the desktop and create a shortcut.
If you wish a shortcut to the library try
* chrome://browser/content/places/places.xul
That will work from the address bar to open the library as a tab, or if used as a part of a desktop shortcut it used to will open the Library directly in Firefox, have not tried it recently.

I use Windows 7, with AOL as my email and home page how can I get Firefox Mozill tool bar I use Mozilla Firefox

Cannot type new outgoing message in utility warehouse webmail when using mozilla firefox

I've always used Mozilla Firefox and Utility Warehouse club webmail e-mail client.
Always worked well, no problems.
Now I can no longer type up new e-mails. I can call up the contacts name and type in the subject OK but then I can't type the message itself. The message typing section no longer functions, it seems to have gone dead.
I'm told this is a browser problem not a UW club webmail issue.
In fact I've checked and that's true, it all works OK in explorer but I don't want to use explorer.
Can you help or do I have to uninstall firefox and start using explorer?
I'd rather stick with firefox

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.
(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")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. 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"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

You can try to disable OMTC and leave hardware acceleration in Firefox enabled.
*about:config page: layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled = false
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

O K - - I use Mozilla Firefox and just recieved your notice of OPEN. Am I automatically updated (or) ???

What do I need to do take advantage of OPEN since I already use Mozilla Firefox? I assume it is an automatic update, however I see no indication that is the case. Thanks, slvrfx43

Do you mean there was a link about the Open Standard on your home page? That links leads to this website: https://openstandard.mozilla.org/
You do not need to install any software to read the site, as far as I know.
If you want to update Firefox, a "safe" way to do that is to use the About Firefox dialog. Either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > About Firefox
* (menu bar) Help > About Firefox
Or if you meant a different OPEN thing, could you describe it in more detail?

Receiving pop ups while using mozilla firefox

I primarily use Mozilla Firefox on my MacBook Air. I have been receiving many pop ups when searching the internet. In addition to that I noticed something called, "Mackeeper" installed on my computer, which I don't remember being their previously.

Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and AdwareMedic.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.

If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.
I would guess the above should apply to Mozilla-based browsers as well.
