Mozilla, like many other software companies, thoroughly test their software before releasing it to the public and I'm sure that no problem you are having is intentional.
I do not work for Mozilla but I do have experience of releasing software for public usage.
Firefox has no way of knowing what other software is already on your computer and with millions of combinations it isn't always possible to test for every scenario.
You can go back to the old version of Firefox but that won't always solve your problem.

MSI Live Update will no longer work after recent update

Recently, MSI Live Update upgraded itself and now errors when a scan is attempted. I can start the application, and the scan appears to occur but does not complete. The error is pretty generic:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI\Live Update 6\Live Update.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
First thing I did was uninstall the tool, delete the directory, reboot and download and install Live Update 6.x from the MSI site. No change. I figured there was possibly a problem with (one of the) C++ Runtime libraries and checked the system requirements on the MSI website, but all it says its needs is the .NET runtime library. I uninstalled it, rebooted, and reinstalled it but still received the same error. Going with the error, I removed all of the C++ libraries (8, 10, and 12 I think), rebooted, and reinstalled them the checked MS for updates. Sadly, this also didn't resolve it.
Error in the application log didn't help:
Faulting application name: Live Update.exe, version: 6.0.12.0, time stamp: 0x54768b62

Yep, the package names were blank.
Searching the forum didn't yield much. Suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestions - still in the same boat.

what OS you are running? Windows 8.1 x64
what MSI hardware you have?
Board: Z87-G43 GAMING
Bios: American Megatrends v1.9 (7/21/2014)
Intel Core i5-4670 @ 3.40GHz (not overclocked)
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro x64
@jb0nez
I fixed it though--went to Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, found Microsoft .net 4.5.1, hit Change/Uninstall, then clicked Repair. Rebooted after and it was fine.
Windows 8.x has .NET 4.x preinstalled as a part of the OS.
I used DISM.exe which identified a component store corruption (and repaired it). Live Update still errors.
Attempts to install from a .NET runtime returns an error of "A higher version is already installed".
Version of .NET installed: 4.5.51641
I did disable, reboot, and re-enable .NET as a feature but doing so does not revert it back to stock .NET.
I also checked Windows Update after re-enabling it and there were no updates - so its not flushing the binaries if its disabled.
At least I have a direction to start troubleshooting (.NET) - thanks for the tip!
@jb0nez
are you also use the same version? Live Update 6.0.012
@TZBC
Restore points are out - I let this slide too long. If I go that route, I'll be fixing one app to break 10 others.
If I'm going to reinstall the OS, I'll wait until Windows 10 (I'll do a complete wipe at that time). Live Update is a 'nice to have', but its not worth my time to wipe the OS and rebuild the system.

My iPad 1st is freezing up when i play games on it, anyone know how to fix this problem? Please Help

My iPad 1st is freezing up when i play games on it, anyone know how to fix this problem? Please Help

This is an ipad 2 it hasn't been updated, the thing is I restored it to the orginal setting because it was acting up, instead of 59.9 GB it gave me the memory capacity of 58.9 that has been already been use. Do you think using a different computer that hasn't been use on my ipad will raise the memory capacity? I've done it before just that the computer that I've been using has my ipad's data.

Many of my System Preferences will no longer work after installing Mountain Lion. Software update, startup disk, iCloud, etc. no longer will launch. I keep getting a drop down window saying I must restart system preferences in order to use. No go!

Many of my System Preferences will no longer work after installing Mountain Lion. Software Update, Startup Disk, iCloud, Time Machine, Notifications, etc. no longer will launch even though they do show their icons in the system preferences window. I keep getting a drop down window saying I must restart system preferences in order to use with a "Cancel" or "OK" choice. After I click on "OK" the window just keeps reappearing with the same choices and the pane I wish to use still remains inoperative. Third party preference panes DO work.
Reinstalling OSX Mountain Lion did not help. Neither did throwing away preferences.plist.

Hi Jeff,
Tried to reply with my iPhone but not easy! Anyway, back on the laptop now. Yes the crash was bad but Tek support at Prism Sound was really good. In the end I rebuilt the whole system on a new disk which took a couple of days with all the plugins, softsynths etc.... but there seemed to be no alternative in my case, and this was agreed with Prism sound as being the only alternative left to me. I still don't really know what caused the crash but ML and Orpheus are both working fine now. Let's face it, you'll have to update at sometime..maybe best to pick some time between projects On balance, I suspect that my problems were unique to my system and that your installation will go ok.
Hope it goes well,
Rick

I have made a website using iweb, as this will no longer be supported by apple, does that mean the gallery I have created on my website will no longer work even though I am hosting it with a different hosting provider

I have made a website using iweb, as this will no longer be supported by apple, does that mean the gallery I have created on my website will no longer work even though I am hosting it with a different hosting provider. Will the other widgets no longer work?

There are a few things that won't work on other hosting sites; hit counters and pop-up slide shows for sure.
See http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No.iW11.html for more info, and/or the iWeb forum at https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iweb

Bluetooth headset no longer work after latest update

I use a Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset for Skype calling and Ventrillo on my Macbook Pro. Since after the latest update, it no longer works. Both input and output doesn't work and the applications hang for about 30 seconds. I've tried re-pairing the device to no avail. Both applications work if I switch them to the built-in microphone.
I also tried doing the same thing with a Plantronics 245 and I get the same issue.
Both headset work with my phone.

FIXED!!!!
Steps to UNF*ing your Mac.
1) Install an app called Pacifist
2) Download the individual installer for the Magic Touch Update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1066 DO NOT INSTALL THIS
3) Load your OSX Install DVD
4) Open the MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg in Pacifist
5) Open your OSX Installer DVD in Pacifist
6) Look at the MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg package in Pacifist to see exactly what it installed and where.
7) Find these SAME EXACT FILES on the OSX Installer and reinstall them as root (e.g. using your admin password when asked)
8) Repair permissions (Do NOT skip this)
9) Reboot
10) MOST IMPORTANT: Never install the update again!!
Your bluetooth headset will work in skype after this. You will replace EVERY FILE THE MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg package installed with one from the DVD. If you can not find it, the search bar in Pacifist works wonders.
You will get an error if you try to reinstall admin.framework about not having permission to install. This will be the ONLY file you will not reinstall.
Yes, you have more or less, in a very complicated fashion uninstalled the update (software update shows the Magic Touch update as needed afterwards).
Find me on Skype, where I will be able to walk you through it from my Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset at james.t.bolin
In case you developers want to know, I'll give you my play by play. After the installation of the update, it borked the bluetooth causing Skype to freeze. Reinstalling all the original kexts from the installer disk fixed the skype freezing issue, but there was still no audio. In fact, after reinstalling everything in the System>Library folder still left me with no audio, but it would not freeze or cause kernel panics at this point.
This is where I got the magic. I started replacing stuff in the usr directory. Upon replacing the usr>libexec>cups>backend>bluetooth; usr>libexec>hidd; usr>sbin>blued; and the blue.8 and hidd.8 files, I got audio back and the stars aligned in perfect harmony. I suspect apple needs to retool the kexts and rewrite the root level profiles.

Headphones no longer work after ios8 update to Iphone 5

My plug in head phones no longer work after updating to IOS8. I thought it was the head phones and bought new ones - they don't work either. I updated my iPad and both head phones work. Phone is IPhone 5 - not due for an upgrade until December. Any suggestions?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Help! When I load up iTunes from my computer, it says iTunes has stopped working, a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. It's been doing this for the past week and I don't know how to fix it. Help please?

Help?

This may occur if you are connected to the Internet and iTunes is trying to connect to the iTunes Store and fails for some unknown reason.
Try this:
Quit iTunes and disconnect completely from the Internet.
IF you have an iPhone (iPod etc), open iTunes. Sync the device.
Re-enable your Internet connection.
Quit iTunes.
Open iTunes again.
If this does not work, try completely uninstalling iTunes, then reinstall it according to these instructions:

Firefox will not open from any icons or shortcuts. I do not know how to fix it. Help, please. firefox 3.6.14, windows vista home premium. Thank you, dustyantique

This is not a new download, it has been working well for longer than a year.

Thank you Cor-el, for your help. Not being the smartest pup in the litter I found it a bit overwhelming but there is a glimmer of success. I went to the Mozilla website and downloaded the latest version. In doing so the update seems to have corrected the problem. Again, thank you for your help. dustyantique

Disable your firewall/security software and try again.

IPhoto (9.6) No longer works after Yosemite Update! Please Help. The error message I get is below.

Error Message:
"Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable.
Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup."
I have performed the instructions above with the exception of the restoration from a backup.(Option/Command no longer yields a menu. Just the error message again). Really hoping there is a fix outside of the restoration since I have neglected to back up for some time.
P.S. I see that this is happening to others....I have another Mac to update to Yosemite and fear the same results.

Every time there is an update to anything someone somewhere has an issue. That's why backing up prior to updating is so important.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

IPod 1st gen does not work after upgrade to iOS 3.1.3. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I upgraded my iPod 1st Generation from 1.1.5 to iOS 3.1.3. through iTunes. After it went through the upgrading process, I received the error message, "iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (6). I went to another PC and was able to restore to the original version. However, I would like to be able to upgrade to 3.1.3 so that I can buy some Apps that requires 3.1.3. Does anyone know how to fix this or have any suggestions? Thanks.

Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
Restore your device while connected to a different network.
Restore using a different computer.
