Firefox is freezing. When I close Firefox, and try to re-start it, it will not open. I need to access Task Manager, where I find Firefox still running. I close Firefox in Task Manager & can re-start Firefox.

Firefox is freezing in the middle of a browsing session. When I close Firefox, and try to re-start it, it will not open. I need to access Task Manager, where I find Firefox to still be running. Once I close Firefox in Task Manager, I can re-start Firefox. This can happen several times in the space of a few hours? I'm running Vista Home premium with Firefox 3.6.16, and this problem has only started in the last 4 weeks. Can Anyone Help? Core 2 Duo E7300 with 4GB RAM.

Sounds like it is hanging when you exit and later try to restart Firefox.

How can I start firefox with new tab instead of blank page?

Today I update firefox to 13.0. I like the new "new type". I want to konw how can I start firefox with new tab instead of blank page?
I don't want to change the homepage to about:newtab.
Sorry for my bad English.

This is a very annoying thing. Every update from Firefox resets this config setting back to about:newtab. I changed '''''browser.newtab.url''''' in 12.x to '''''about:blank''''' and it resetted back in update 13.0 and now I have to do the same thing again in 13.0.1.
The drawback with about:newtab is Firefox opens up dataports for every URL that are linked and gets reopened for every lame 'newtab' you click on. Just use [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx Tcpview - data port viewer] and watch how many extra dataports that opens up from this crazy 'feature'.

</mms>& how can i get the value of the sid (for example)?
I hav tried to generate that xml by using StringBuffer & append, but it's not what i mean...
Anyone can help me?

Ok...i got it. But i still hav some problems.
This is the sample code that i used :
public class XMLCreator {
 //No generics
 List myData;
 Document dom;
 Element rootEle, mmsEle, mmsE;
 StringWriter stringOut;
 mms mms;
 public XMLCreator(String subject, String image, String sound,
 String video, String text, String sender, String recipient,
 int id, String date, String contentid) {
 mms = new mms(subject, image, sound, video, text, sender,
 recipient, id, contentid, date);
 createDocument();
 public void run(){
 createDOMTree();
 print();
 private void createDocument() {
 //get an instance of factory
 DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
 try {
 //get an instance of builder
 DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
 //create an instance of DOM
 dom = db.newDocument();
 }catch(ParserConfigurationException pce) {
 //dump it
 System.out.println("Error while trying to instantiate DocumentBuilder " + pce);
 private void createDOMTree(){
 //create the root element <Mms>
 rootEle = dom.createElement("mms");
 dom.appendChild(rootEle);
 createMmsElement(mms);
 private Element createMmsElement(mms b){
 Element subjectEle = dom.createElement("subject");
 Text subjectText = dom.createTextNode(b.getSubject());
 subjectEle.appendChild(subjectText);
 rootEle.appendChild(subjectEle);
 //create url_image element and author text node and attach it to mmsElement
 Element imageEle = dom.createElement("url_image");
 Text imageText = dom.createTextNode(b.getUrl_image());
 imageEle.appendChild(imageText);
 rootEle.appendChild(imageEle);
 // & etc....
 return rootEle;
 * This method uses Xerces specific classes
 * prints the XML document to file.
 private void print(){
 try
 //print
 OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(dom);
 format.setIndenting(true);
 stringOut = new StringWriter();
 //to generate output to console use this serializer
 XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer(stringOut, format);
 //to generate a file output use fileoutputstream instead of system.out
 //XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer(
 //new FileOutputStream(new File("mms.xml")), format);
 serializer.serialize(dom);
 } catch(IOException ie) {
 ie.printStackTrace();
 public String getStringOut() {
 return stringOut.toString();
}when i tried to show the stringOut.toString() in my jsp, it's only showed string like this :
The Lords Of The Ring http://localhost:8084/movie/lotr.3gp 6281321488448 6281321488448 123 0 20070220114851 LOTR.
1. Why this is happen?i want to generate xml which its format is like above.
2. How can i send this xml (put in msg parameter) using jsp (via web) without creating the mms.xml?
3. if i want to set the msg parameter equal to mms.xml - means that msg = mms.xml, what is the data type for msg? is it an object or anything else?
Thx b4 in advance...

When I bring up my Mozillafirefox, all I get is a window with a blank white screen, (and the firefox logo). (After using Firefox very happily for over a year, I had to 'reinstall' Firefox 3.66 about a month and a half ago, (and lost all my bookmarks as a result therein), and hope I can get my firefox back this time without having to reinstall. Mozilla Firefox is still listed as one of my active programs). HELP! Is there a way to get my firefox back without reinstalling? Many thanks!
== This happened ==

The apps are free with iOS 7 if you purchased a new device after September 2013. The apps do not come free just because you are running iOS 7 now. Did you purchase or receive a new iPad recently?
If you did, are you using the same Apple ID to get the apps that you used to activate the iPad? If you are, sign out of your ID, restart your iPad, sign in again and go back to the App Syore and see if the apps show up as free.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and go back to the settings and sign in again.

I have nokia 5130 xpress music.Why I can't install firefox in my phone.

Hi 08ik,
Unfortunately, the Nokia 5130 is a feature phone (a.k.a, a "dumb" phone). Firefox will currently only run on smart phone devices that operated by Android.
Firefox is compatible with Android 2.1 and above devices with hardware requirements recommending at least 512 MB of RAM.
You can see a list of all supported devices here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/mobile/platforms/

I just bought a new computer, how can I start syncing with this computer without erasing everything already on my iphone?

I just bought a new computer, how can I start syncing with this computer without erasing everything already on my iphone?
Everytime I try to use the option sync manual it wants me to erase everything.
Please help

The iPhone can be synced to one and only one computer at a time. Before you "marry" it to your new computer, be sure your new computer contains all the old computer's information. When you sync the iPhone to a new computer, it will be erased first. Then, whatever is on your iTunes Library will be synced to the iPhone.
Read: iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
You can also copy its previous backup from the old computer to the new one, then "restore from backup".
From iTunes: About iOS backups
Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

When trying to start Firefox Iget this message "Firefox has encountered a problem and needs to close". How do I solve this?

I downloaded and installed FF with no problem. But it will not run. I get the above message everytime. IE runs -no problem! Google Chrome does the same as Firefox!
What can be the problem?

Hey lenharris,
Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down ''shift'' while Firefox is starting up. If the crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode, you should read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
There is also a lot of useful stuff in the [[Firefox crashes]] Knowledge Base article. If you've recently upgraded, you might want to check out [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues#w_firefox-crashes-when-i-start-it this article] as well.
Hopefully this helps!

I can't start Firefox on my Mac - every time I open it, it crashes. Please help!

I can't open Firefox at all - and can't find a safe mode. Have tried to re-install it, but it still opens with the same add-ons that are causing it to crash. Please help!

Hello David171212,
You can contact Apple Support and ask them the reason of Declining your Payment, There are chances that your Bank might not be releasing the payment or something like that due to which you are getting Payment Declined Message. The Best of option is to contact your Bank or you can contact Apple and ask them the reason.

Hope this will help you

Why cant I even start Firefox?

This problem happened when I updated Firefox. The server crashed and could not even be opened to the startup page.
The mozilla Crash reporter is always shown.
I have deleted the software and re-downloading firefox several times but failed.
The same crash reporter is shown everytime I reinstall firefox.
It is impossible to open firefox at all!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions 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.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

I can't start Firefox.

I get a message that I must reboot since Firefox was upgraded, but when you reboot and try and start firefox, you get the same message again. How do I solve this problem?

Hi g.mearns-
It sounds like it would be a good idea to uninstall, and then download the latest version of Firefox by following these steps:
* Get the latest version: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
* Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
* Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

I hope this helps!

Has anyone got a quick start manual like this?

Hi all,
I recently bought a refurb Macbook Air 11 (2013) from the australian apple store and I noticed that the quick start guide that I had was not on the apple store. Whats more, it says that my macbook air has a thunderbolt 2 port! Has anyone got one like this? Note the copyright 2014 on the right. Is this the actual quick start guide?

Thanks for reply Demo. What I mean by 'failed' is nothing happened when I hit the 'Verify Now' box on the email from Apple in my Inbox I expected to move to another page to enter further details but that didn't happen and there was no message saying 'verification accepted' or similar. I spoke to Apple Support and after about an hour she advised me to speak to a friend. If my friend can solve this, Apple needs to give her a job. Thanks again.

I can't open Firefox and I haven't saved my extensive bookmarks, which contains all my important websites. How can I start Firefox and save my bookmarks?

I have a Dell Inspiron E1505, and I use Kaspersky Internet Security. The past week, I've had problems opening Firefox - it has been slow. Today, it just won't open at all. At first I thought it was my Internet connection, so I called my provider, Comcast Cable. But I was also able to open Internet Explorer. I was told that I may have to remove Firefox, and redownload it, but it would erase all my bookmarks. How can I access Firefox and save my bookmarks?

Try starting Firefox in Safe Mode (Firefox Safe Mode, not Windows Safe Mode).
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, check out this article:
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
To export bookmarks to an HTML file that IE and other browsers can read, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Exporting%20bookmarks%20to%20an%20HTML%20file Exporting bookmarks to an HTML file | How to | Firefox Help].
Any luck?
