Upgraded to Firefox 8 and rebooted but when trying to start FF get message that reboot is require to complete installation; same message if I try to re-install or uninstall FF. Writing this using Google Chrome.
Upgrade to FF 8 (from 3.6) appeared to go smoothly, as did reboot, on Acer desktop running Windows 7 Home Premium. But I get "reboot required to complete FF installation" every time I try to start FF. Tried to uninstall FF using Control Panel uninstall and also using the uninstall in my Mozilla folder--get same "reboot required" message. Tried to reinstall FF--same message. In short, FF totally inoperable--and I'm starting to like Google Chrome.

Delete the files in:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
(The above is for a windows installation - a Mac installation stores its files in /Applications/Firefox.app <br />
To open one of these folders in OSX, Ctrl-click it and select Show Package Contents. )
Download a fresh copy of Firefox for installation.
Uninstall your current Firefox version before installing but don't remove your profile data when you uninstall Firefox (do not select to remove personal data) or you will lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder. Remove the program folder for Firefox as well.
Do a clean reinstall as an administrator. See:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall

Tried turning off antivirus/antispyware - nstill get error msg.
Also have Thunderbird installed.When you say "clean install", do you mean that you also manually erased the C:\program files\mozilla firefox folder before installing, to remove any remaining files from a previous install?
If so, it seems there is a problem with your profile. Have a look at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting, and perhaps more specifically https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile and follow the instructions there for how to test if the problem goes away with a new profile.
Just post back here if you have questions. -

I followed the instructions on the support page. I did a Windows restart. I cannot see how other copies of Firefox could be running. No other apps have been launched and Task Manager only shows one copy of Firefox and no other apps. I have tried several times and always get the same result.
Firefox [[Safe mode]] is a diagnostic mode that allows troubleshooting.<br />
You start the same version, only some features are disable like add-ons (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions).

No LED light on front and black screen when trying to start up
Not sure why started my Mac just like everyday and I noticed it had frozen on start up screen was shaky but froze none the less. I tried to restart with the button on the front and nothing but the hard drive kicking in and the light on the button won't stay on like when it is up and running but will flash if you hold it and try restarting. Tried hooking up other monitor and the other monitor won't display so I don't think it is the monitor and like I said I can hear the hard drive and computer come on I just have a black screen and no lighted button on the front. Anybody have any suggestions. My iMac G3 is a 600mhz graphite running 10.4 and classic 9.2 but very rarely do I use the classic on that one as I have another just like it and they were networked together this one is fine. Help!!
iMac G3 600mhz Graphite Mac OS X (10.4.3) also runs classic 9.2Thanks but that wasn't it. I replaced the battery and reset the PMU, still no luck. I've tried hooking up an external monitor still nothing, in doing all of this the person helping and I noticed that when you push the button on front to power up it doesn't light but I'm also not getting a start up chime, only the click of the hard drive then in pushing the button to power it off the light will blink and I think it is shutting down. Any other suggestions.
Thanks -

My ipod (4th generation;2GB)shuffle has also stopped working.It gets detected on windows explorer shows the content but not playing anything.
Pl help.many thanks. (Haven't seen one of these in a while, and now suddenly there's two in one day.)
I think some other application (apart from QuickTime itself) has stashed old QuickTime componentry on the PC in an unorthodox location. (Codec packs and video converters are the usual suspects with that, although some games might do the same.)
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
*If you have a 32-bit version of Windows,* open the "System32" folder.
*If you have a 64-bit version of Windows,* open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.) -
anybody have any idea?

Firefox opens with yahoo, but when trying to log in to yahoo, Firefox stops responding.
Firefox 3.6 opens to yahoo, but, it stops responding. Or I can click on sign in to yahoo and when I go to log in it stops responding. I have checked for the won't start virus using Microsoft essentials and there was nothing there. I tried downloading the beta and nothing. I deleted 3.6 and reinstalled and still no good. I can get to the internet using IE 8. Any ideas what is wrong? This has been like this for nearly 2 weeks. HELP,I love FF.
I just experienced this problem. The solution was to delete your cookies for tdbank (tools, options, show cookies)
I suspect there is something in the cookie that points to a database or some server that currently isn't active - it's 1AM now, so probably have a backup server up while they do maintenance or something like that.
Most likely the login page will have worked the next day for me. -

You will need to use a data recovery firm that can directly access the flash memory. It will be expensive.

Ideas?This is actually Photoshop Elements forum. try posting it on Photoshop forum.
In case you have some scanner/printer etc installed in the machine it might be causing issue. Try launching with none of the devices attached and anti virus disabled.

Help - Photoshop Elements 8 crashes when trying to start Organizer
Photoshop Elements 8 crashes when trying to start Organizer. Funny, that starting the Photoshop Editor is not a problem and works fine.
I deinstalled the software and then installed it again, but had no effect.
What can I do?
NickThe Organizer preferences may have become corrupted, needing to be automatically re-built on a re-start.
Close Elements.
Click the Start Button and then your user name (in place of mine) and navigate to:
C: Users >> 99Jon >> AppData >> Roaming >> Adobe >> Elements Organizer >>8.0 >> Organizer
Delete the PSA file (with key symbol) and delete Status.dat
After deleting these two files re-start the program
AppData may be a hidden system file. See the link to reveal hidden files.
