Updating Firefox from 5.0 to 5.0.1, the dialog box said my profile was missing. What should I do about that?

''locking - duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/849470''
I use an iMac with OS 10.6.8, and Firefox 5.0.
When trying to upgrade Firefox to 5.1 it attempted, but I saw a dialog box that said it could not because my profile was missing. I did not know I had a Profile Box. What do I do to create one?
I want to upgrade to FF 5.0.1. I use FF daily, particularly I keep my calendar in Firefox only.
Is there a solution for my problem?

I forgot to mention also that when I tried to delete this icon, the trash eternally acted like it was emptyint the trash, but the progress bar was not progressing.  I suppose that is because the file size is too large (812 MB).

    my itunes need a update and i pluged in my ipod awhile doing the updat now my ipod won't turn on and the screen has a itunes ion on it what should i do? i really need the help

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Installing 5.0.1 updating 5.0, I received a dialog box that said my Profile was missing. Wht do I do now?

    I have an iMac, operating OS 10.6.8. I have using Firefox for years, most recently updated to 5.o. Tonight as I worked, a dialog box appeared saying I could upgrade to Firefox 5.0.1. I said the equivalent of OK, and it appeared that the installation was going on, but suddenly a dialog box said my Firefox Profile was missing and 5.0.1 could not be installed.
    I did not know I had a Firefox Profile, nor where it was stored.
    Please tell me what to do. I use Firefox for my Calendar. Should I abandon my Calendar on Firefox. I would prefer not to abandon it, because I am easily able to search with Firefox immediately after I use the Calendar.
    In short, what should I do to upgrade to 5.0.1?

    Firefox 5.0.1 and 3.6.19 contain changes that apply to the OSX operating system. Other OS's can update, but you will not receive an automated update notification. My Firefox 5.0 on Windows also is not yet recognizing an update to 5.0.1 using Help > About Firefox > Check for updates.

  • When I try to send multiple photo from my photo albums and hit share, the email box doesn't show up.  Whats going on?

    When I try to send multiple photo from my photo albums and hit share, the email box option doesn't show up.  The only options are facebook, message,   It was there last evening and I used it.  Whats going on?

    There is a limit on the number of photos that you can send in one email from the photos app, but I thought it was five. In any event, you know that you can send mutiple photos from the mail app itself and you can send more than 5.
    When you are typing an email - Tap and hold down in the body of the message area and select "Insert Photo or Video" from the black pop up options bar. Select the photos that you want to include from the photos app window that appears. Then hit return on the keyboard and start the process all over again.
    You can insert photos, type text, enter more photos .... any way that you would like to do it.

  • Running Windows XP service pack 3. Updated Firefox from 8.0 to 9.0. Now when Firefox opens "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" is displayed in a window and no home page appears. What's wrong?

    Running Windows XP service pack 3. Updated Firefox from 8.0 to 9.0. Now when Firefox opens "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" is displayed in a window and no home page appears. What's wrong?

    That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[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.

  • Updating from Tiger to Snow Leopard without buying the Mac Box Set

    Is it possible to update from Tiger to Snow Leopard without buying the Mac Box Set? My sister already has iLife 09 so I could borrow it and simply buy Snow Leopard. Is that possible or would it still violate the licensing agreement?

    R C-R:
    Barry Hemphill wrote:
    You will note that Apple says that the upgrade is for OS X 10.5 users.
    Note that this does not say Snow Leopard is not an upgrade for 10.4 users.
    Did you read item C from the license link you posted (underline was added for emphasis)?
    Leopard Upgrade Licenses. If you have purchased an Upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard license, then subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer _as long as that computer has a properly licensed copy of Mac OS X Leopard already installed on it._ If you have purchased a Family Pack Upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard license, then subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-branded computers at a time as long as those computers are located in the same household (as defined above), are used by persons who occupy that same household, and each such computer has a properly licensed copy of Mac OS X Leopard already installed on it. The Family Pack Upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard License does not extend to business or commercial users.
    The OP asked about using the upgrade (and, obviously, try to avoid buying the box set) to move from OS X 10.4 to OS X 10.6. I mentioned the license agreement to allow the OP to make their own decision.

  • I can not perform software updates or download any programs. They appear in the download box as images that are not recognized. How can I fix this?

    I can not perform software updates or download any programs. They appear in the download box as images that are "not recognized". I thought maybe my antivirus software was setting up a firewall, but I have disabled it, so that's not the case. Any suggestions as to  how I can fix this?

    If the downloads are gone, it's possible that Windows is removing the downloads based on security policies set in IE. I realize that sounds strange, but it's related to Firefox's feature of submitting downloads to your virus scanner and marking them as having come from the internet.
    To test this theory, you could try disabling the scan feature. I assume you have good "real time" antivirus protection which checks every file saved to your hard drive. (If not, you really should get that, and you can use Microsoft's free [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials Microsoft Security Essentials] for now until you have time to review all the available choices.)
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''scan''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' to toggle its value.
    Firefox now should ignore Windows' download security. Does it change how Windows handles the file?

  • The dialog box that contains the Firefox icon stays on my desktop even though I've already loaded it into my applications folder. How do I remove it????

    I updated to Firefox 4.0 and moved the Firefox icon into my applications folder and tool bar. However, the dialog box with the icon still sits on my desktop. How can I remove it??? Thanks for your help.

    OMG I think I just figured it out.... I was dragging the disk icon to the apps folder.  I was supposed to drag the icon within the pop up window to the apps folder.  As you can tell, I'm a PC user and new to mac!  I think this is going to solve the mystery!

  • I updated my ipad but i couldn't use it because it asks me the apple id i used it the first time and i dont know it, what should i do.

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. No must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

    That would be the password for your FTP server. You can only get this from your web hosting company. You should contact your web hosting company and ask them for your FTP Publishing details.
    Then select your web site name at the top of the list of web pages in iWeb. You'll see input fieldd for your FTP details. Enter what you get from your web hosting provider in those fields.

  • When online via WiFi, Firefox repetedly attempts to connect via dialup, with error dialog box returning every 15 sec. or so.

    At home, I use dial-up. When I'm visiting, or at certain stores, I use a Wi-Fi connection. When I'm on Wi-Fi, Firefox does not fully recognise it. It will, eventually, use the Wi-Fi connection, load pages, etc. But it keeps trying to dial in, even while connected via Wi-Fi! Closing the dialog boxes only works for a few seconds, then it tries again, and again, and again, and again... Arrgh!
    N.B. Could this be Weatherfox connecting to update weather info using its own connection, rather than piggybacking on whatever Firefox is doing?

    You can try to swap the order of the connections and place the Wi-Fi connection at the top to see how that works.
