Firefox 6 will not allow you to paste a cookie into the addressbar like all previous versions have. I use software to replace web chat and must do this and have been able to do it in all past versions. What's the deal?

Thank you for your response.
After searching around for any pointers to my problem, the above fixes I listed were the things that came closest to maybe addressing the issue, that I was able to locate. But since none worked, and as you pointed out, it is now clear they will only help towards viewing sent images rather than helping with inserting any images in the body of the email, which is the problem I suddenly started facing today.
Coming to your suggestion, on opening the Write window, the Insert choice on the menu bar is indeed available. And I had already tried using that, by clicking on the '''Insert ----> Image''' option listed. That opens
up the "Image Properties" box but using that has not resolved the matter either. It results in an image box getting inserted within the email but without the actual image itself.
Plus, normally I am able to use the '''Paste''' function in the Edit menu or through right-click, but today the (Cut/Copy/Paste) functions have gone inactive, thereby disallowing me to use that to place an image within the email.

Firefox 19 will not allow computer to shut down

I have my computer set to shutdown at 2 pm and at 2 a notice comes up and starts to count down for 10 min. Firefox and thunderbird are still running. at the end of 10 min I get a notice that application firefox did not quite and system cannot shutdown. Firefox and thunderbird have stopped
any suggestions?

from previous post "I get a notice that application firefox did not quite and system cannot shutdown. Firefox has logged out and stopped.
what are you suggesting that i do from your post? I have only had the problem with scheduled shut downs?

My daughter changed the password on her ipod touch and it will not allow her to put letters in so therefore she is locked out! how can we fix this

My daughter has changed her ipod touch password and it will not allow her to put in letters so therefore she is locked out! How can she fix this?

Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes. If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or yu do not have the syncing computer, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

When banking on-line Mozilla will not allow me to see the details of a transaction while Internet Explorer will allow it. Mozilla was doing it, but now won't.

I do my on-line banking with Bank of America generally using Mozilla Firefox. Recently I noticed when I clicked on a bank transaction to see the "details" or to print only that specific transaction, it will not allow me to see the details.
Previously, whenever I clicked on a transaction, to see the image of a check I wrote for example, it always brought up the image of the check. Now, it will not do it.
If I use Internet Explorer, I can click on a specific bank transaction and see the details, exactly how I used to be able to do it with Mozilla Firefox.
Therefore, the problem is with Mozilla and not the Bank of America web site, right?

Problem solved: AdBlock Plus 2.4 needs to be disabled on the BofA site.

I need assistance. I signed up for The Novel Network and now Firefox will not allow me access. I'm a computer dolt and don't know what to do next

Firefox will not allow me to access the area of this site to allow me
to finish the process to download books.

Thank you!
Here are my answers, as best I know how to present them:
1. I can see a big red "f". It's not flashing or moving or anything. Does that count as animation?
There is also an empty box with an X in the corner, as if a pop-up is blocked, or something.
2. I see 2 things under Adobe, called Adobe PDF Reader Link Helper and Adobe PDF Link Helper, both enabled.
3. I see Flash10m.ocx; FlashUtil10m_ActiveX; Get Flash; swflash; FlashInstall; FlashUtil10m_ActiveX.dll; and install.
(#2 and #3 took me to places I'd never been before. ha ha)

Mt iPad will not allow me to update my apps. My username and password are correct and I can buy apps with no problem but when I try and update it just says "cannot open iTunes"

My iPad will not allow me to update apps although I have no problem buying new ones. It says "cannot connect to iTunes" each time I try.

Same problem for me, too. It happens on my iPad, iPhone, and iMac. Weird because I have great Internet connectivity and I can log into and view my iTunes account. I've downloaded three new apps with no problem. But my iPad shows 14 apps needing updates, my iPhone shows 2, and my iMac shows 1. In all cases, clicking on "update" and entering the password results in the message, "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". It's the same result across multiple WiFi networks, even after resetting them.
I'll see if someone at the Genius Bar can help and then I will repost.

We recently cannot open Mozilla FireFox browser, even with Internet connectivity. We can open Internet Explorer. How can we re-install (or do we re-install) when it appears that Microsoft will not allow us to download and execute. Thanks.

See question above

Same problem here. Win7 32.
Only the process appears, but no browser window.
Just a wild idea i had. I do have one other issue with the same computer that also shows the 3.6.4 problem. It has to do with the folder app in Picasa. I mean the one where one can decide which folder needs to be scanned or ignored and so forth. Every time I start this Picasa freezes instantly. I tried numerous things already. Perhaps both those processes are somehow somehow connected. Just a wild guess though.
I will send the debugging info over the weekend.

When i got to download multiple images (only in firefox), it will not let me select more than one at a time. Wondering if anyone knows how to fix this.

I will hold select, control or try to select all and none of the above work. It does in explorer

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
*Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

After I close Firefox, it will not open again unless I restart my computer.

When I close Firefox normally, I cannot open it again unless I restart my computer. Why?

Yes, that is a strong indication that Firefox didn't close completely.
You can check that in the Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del). 
If you see Firefox and plugin-container processes then you can close (kill) those processes and you should be able to start Firefox after having done that.
There are other things that need your attention.
Your system details list shows that you still have a very old Flash 9.0 r45 plugin installed that you should remove.
*Shockwave Flash 11.7 r700
*Shockwave Flash 9.0 r45
This plugin might be installed in the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder.
*(32 bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
You can set the plugin.expose_full_path pref to true on the about:config page to see the full path of enabled installed plugins on the about:plugins page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:plugins
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_plugins#Identifying_installed_plugins
You can open about:xxxx pages via the location bar like you open a website.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers via the navigator.plugins object, so reset that pref to its default value false after you are done with the about:plugins page and have located the old Flash plugin.

Firefox drop down not allowing page redirect is preventing me from auto running and installing software

When I try to install software, Firefox window opens with a drop down box stating Firefox is not allowing page to re-direct. I click on allow, and it goes back to original page. It is preventing me from auto run and installing software. I tried several times, and it just runs me in circles. When I click to allow page re-direct, I click auto run and it send me right back to Firefox page with same thing. Very frustrating.

When do you get this redirect?
Is that when you (try to) visit other websites?

TS2972 itunes will not allow me to download a homeshare library - has connected and states it is downloading but then doesn't show the library?

Have connected to homeshare, but Itunes will not let me see the homeshare library from another PC. It is connected and when I click on ******homeshare library it says it is downloading it - but then doesn't???? Help!

Hello ariani,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Home Sharing in iTunes. I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
4. Check your network connection
Home Sharing requires a home network with an active Internet connection. All the devices you want to use with Home Sharing need to be connected to your home network.
In addition, verify that:
All your devices are connected to the same router, if you have multiple routers. Using multiple routers may prevent discovery between these devices.
Your devices are not using a Virtual Private Network (VPN), or that they are all on the same VPN. A VPN may isolate the device and cause connectivity disruptions.
If you have a router set up with a guest network, make sure all devices are either connected to the guest network and devices on the guest network are allowed to communicate with each other, or switch all devices to the primary network on your router.
If your computer is asleep or shutdown, or iTunes is closed, there's no access to the shared iTunes library. Wake up or start the computer and open iTunes to regain access to that library.
Your router needs to be up-to-date. If you are using an AirPort or Time Capsule, read this article to find out more about firmware updates. If you are using a router from another manufacturer, contact the manufacturer to inquire about available updates.
5. Check Firewall Settings
If you have a firewall enabled in your router or computer, make sure that the firewall is not blocking communication between your computers. Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries.In addition, Apple TV and Mac computers will use port 123 to set the time automatically. Incorrect date and time on either the computer or Apple TV can cause errors for Home Sharing and connections in general.If you are unsure whether your router has a firewall or the required ports open, test additional devices or another network to help isolate the issue. If the devices tested work on another home network, it is your router or network configuration.For Mac OS X, you don't have to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall in Apple () menu >System Preferences > Security > Firewall are not set to:
Block all incoming connections
Allow only essential services
If you use another security/firewall software on your computer or router, follow this article or contact the manufacturer or check the documentation on how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
6. Quit and reopen apps and iTunes
If connectivity issues persist, quit and reopen iTunes on your computer. Then, quit and reopen the apps on your iOS device.
7. Restart your network router
Restart your home network router using the method recommended in documentation from the manufacturer. This may include disconnecting the power cord for thirty seconds or more.
Note: During this period, Internet services such as a VoIP-based phone will not work, and any additional routers may need to be reset in sequence.
