Im sure this is a complette mystery and has never ever edver happened to anyone else. But when i start firefox it appears on my screen and then disappears. Why am i the first person these bugs always occur to?

i have the latest version im running vista. i dont know if you would define it as a crash but it simply disappears. I know you want more information, right . ?what part of disappears dont you understrand? is no one keeping track. have not a million people wriiteeen in to say the browser started and then disappeared? there is no crash id. just thjrow me a bone would ya?

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.

    Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
    Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
    If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
    Let us know how you get on.

  • Some images do not display in browser, iPad Air 2.  When I load a page with several jpgs (one 1920x720, then 8-10 800x800px), only the first few are shown.  Behaviour is similar for Safari and Chrome. Website issue or iPad?

    I have just bought an iPad, partly to check that my websites work OK on mobile devices.   When I load a page with several jpgs (e.g. one 1920x720, then 8-10 800x800px), only the first few are shown.  If I remove the large one, that sometimes fixes the problem. Behaviour is similar for Safari and Chrome. Is this a website issue or iPad?

    Sorry, I didn't make myself clear.  I'm using a new Wordpress theme that is meant to be responsive.  The large image is for a header, than you scroll down to see the rest, one by one.  Some one the pages work OK on my iPad, typically the old ones where the maximum image size was 500 x 500.  It's the new pages and those I've updated that are causing the problem.  On the iPad the large image loads, then a couple of the small ones become visible as I scroll down, but then darkness (rather like my knowledge level).
    Being new to IOS and iPads, I'm trying to work out whether I should be looking here, or amongst the Wordpress stuff for a solution.
    Here's the website with its new theme: http://www.new-zealand-pictures.com/

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Firefox 3.6.12 won't open under WinXP. Have uninstalled/reinstalled several times. When I start the program (including safe mode) I see a Firefox process appear for about 3 seconds, then disappear. Run full scan with Norton with no malware discovered.

    I've used Firefox for years with no problems. I've not installed any new extensions or programs between the time it worked great and when the problem began.
    I click to start FF (shortcut, directly on program file, etc.) and I get an hourglass for a couple of seconds like it's starting, then nada. As mentioned, I see FF show up as a process in Task Manager for about 3 seconds, then disappear.
    Solutions I've tried include: Uninstall/reinstall on the same drive and a separate drive, registry cleanup/optimization w/Norton Utilities, full scan for malware/viruses with Norton, stopping some autostartup programs that were installed and in use while FF was running fine.

  • InterCheck takes up to 192% process time when I start Firefox (Safari or Sophos, or...). Why is this?

    Dear Fellows,
    I was surprise, as I realized that MacBook Pro was running InterChech from the Sophos Anti-Virus folder using near to 192% process time...
    The fan was running on 100% all time long.
    It was a big piece of work to start annother application.
    I contacted Sophos support asking what to do. I didn't get a conclusive statement.
    So, I'm asking you.
    Anyway, after a while I killed the process.
    What is the matter with InterCheck? How is possible to avoid such situations?
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    IOS

    That is not normal behavior for Sophos. Something is wrong. Did you try removing and reinstalling it? Run the Sophos Remove application (which should be in the Applications folder) to completely remove all components. Then download the most current version from the Sophos web site and reinstall it.
    Alternately, you are probably fine to just remove it, provided you are following all the necessary security procedures to protect yourself from malware. See my Mac Malware Guide.

    Is anyone else experiencing trouble playing video in itunes?  Video intermittenly pauses and also plays with not audio.  Video used to play fine.  This problem only started since I upgraded to version 7.  I have not used itunes since then because I couldn't watch anything without experiencing these problems.  I was waiting for the next version to come out and hoped it would fix the problems I was having, but no such luck.  I just upgraded to the latest version, version 11 and I'm still having the same problems.  Anyone else having these same issues and if so, any solutions?

  • Did this happen to anyone else after updating to 1.2?

    After successfully updating my 60GB 5thGen iPod to the 1.2 version software it initially seemed to work fine but then after a while the whole display shrank to a small portion of the display at the upper left hand corner...
    like this
    Did this happen to anyone else's iPod?
    Do I have to wait for a new update or bring it to the nearest Apple Service before it's warranty runs out on 17.10.2006?
      Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    thanks for your reply, but I've already tried restoring it several times. it always ends up shrunk.
    I also tried downgrading my iPod to 1.1.2 in order to retry to update it all over from the beginning. (no luck)
    Then I thought the updater was corrupted so I deleted it from ~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/ and let iTunes download it once again. (no luck)
    Then I finally tried using a PC running Windows XP (oh my god, what have I done?) and again the same old story. (the images on the display shrunk again)
    I suppose this is a hardware issue

  • My iPhone just called itself randomly..has this happened to anyone else?

    My iPhone just called itself randomly..has this happened to anyone else? when i picked up it said it was some national credit thing and said my debit card has been temporaly block....funny thing is..... i dont have a debit card with that company and i just recently got this new number (3 days from this post)

  • I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?

    I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now when I want to upload I get "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?
    Mac OS 10.8.5
    None of these issues are causing the error in DW CS6. We have double checked all of them and we have everything exactly right. Also I have exactly the same SiteSetup in DW CS4 and that works perfectly well. Could there must be factor in 6 that didn't exist in 4? Something that isnt in the SiteSetup but in some hidden dialog box ?
    I can also upload to my host using Fetch, a third party FTP. And as I said DW CS4 works fine. So the problem is not with my host, its with DW CS6 in particular.

    Thank you Jon, that fixed it perfectly. You have saved me from going crazy. The only difference I see now is in "Server Name" it changed what I had entered (my ftp address) to "Remote Server"; which seems odd -- but it works!   Although I know there maybe also some other dialog box I have never seen
    Of course I saw that menu item "Import"  and but I thought thats obviously not for me: "Why would I want to import an entire website?". I did not however see "Export the selected site" for thats only a tiny icon in the footer. However I would have thought the same:  "Why would I want to export my entire website?".
    An observation: I've seen this problem in a lot of Adobe software, the menu-names of items are  obscure, non descriptive. What would be better would be for the menu names or popups to say "Export Site Setup settings" and "Import Site Setup settings"

  • This is my first mac, it is a macbook pro. i restarted it but when it started back up i saw a white screen and then it prompted me to insert the reboot disk. anyone else have this problem?

    I recently bought a Macbook Pro, this is my first Mac. I restarted it, but when it started back there was a plain white screen and then it prompted me to insert the reboot disk. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a way to do this manually like with PC's?

    The new Mac's came with OS X Lion 10.7 and there are no boot disks.
    Since it's so new, take it back to the Apple Store and let them deal with it.
    If not you can hold Command and r (as in rotten) keys down and boot the computer.
    You'll be presented with a several options, including one to reinstall OS X Lion provided you have a Apple ID, which means you have to use Safari in there to set one up. To do that you need to set up a email account with Google or Yahoo. Once you get the ID, then you can download Lion and reinstall it.
    It's so stupid not having a copy of the OS on hand to perform your own repairs.
    Of course Apple will be happy to sell you a $69 Lion USB stick.
    Like I said, take it back to the store, and try to get your money back, that will force them to think about just giving you a replacement machine that works.
    Lion doesn't work really but it can be acceptable until the patches get released.

    Lyall,
    I have seen this before, a long time ago (several years), and I cannot
    remember how/if we resolved it.
    If this is an impotant issue to you, I suggest that you open a case with
    BEA support.

    Peter.

    This is a rather important issue, I have seen another post with a similar problem.
    While not being a show-stopper it certainly raises concerns.
    The application works ok until the application exits (in both development and
    executable form)
    Apparently this did not happen with Tux 7.1
    It does with 8, I do not have 7.1 so I have no workaround.
