After doing a search with firefox 4.0 the results are unaccessable and friefox is unresponsive

I have just upgraded to firefox4.0 . but when I do a search,
I cannot access the results a timer appears and firefox is un responsive , bookmarks and shortcuts work fine

Confirming that doing the full uninstall (deleting all local content) did fix this issue for me across all 3 PCs I was having the issues on.
I did take some time to see if I could find something in AppData or about:config I could delete/reset to avoid doing the full uninstall (because I'm sure there's something in there that just got corrupted), but had no luck.

  • If I'm on AOL and go to Firefox to print the letters are tiny and about 3/10 of an inch apartomch y

    If I'm on AOL or Gmail and go to Firefox (top left corner) to print, the letters are miniscule and about 3/10 of an inch apart. Unreadable!
    When I'm on MS Word or BBC and I print something out its fine. Confused and optimistic about your response!

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • After doing a search, when I click on the website I want to go to, it will go to some search or ask type of site and not the one I tried to go to.

    After a search, when I click on the site I want to go to, it will take me to a different site (like an ask or search type of site, seems like the same 3 or 4 always) when I to go back to the search page ( takes 2 or 3 clicks on the back arrow) and try the site I wanted again it will send me to the wrong site again. I have to do this 3 or 4 times until it will go to the site I want. If I copy n paste the site url in the navigation bar it will go to the site I want, but it's kind of a pain to do that, and I never had to do that before. Also, it does the same thing if I'm using yahoo or google to search. Thank you in advance

  • The Windows 7 pop up screen at the bottom toolbar does not function with Firefox 4. Instead there are now tabs on top. The Windows 7 feature was handy because one could easily see which pages you're working on. How can I fix this?

    One of the Windows 7 features is the pop up box icon at the bottom toolbar which displays which pages are open when scrolling over it. After installing Firefox 4 this function does not work anymore, instead it was replaced by Firefox tabs above.

    I believe you are talking about taskbar previews. To enable them you need to change a hidden preference.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.taskbar.previews.enable''' and double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''

  • How do I return to recent email after doing a search?

    How do I quickly return to recent mail again after doing a search in Mail?
    After I look at an old email I've found and click the "x" next to the search entry field to clear it, I'm returned back to the entire mail box at the point in time of that found email. I then have to scroll all the way to the top to see my recent email. And it could be a loooooong way up.
    Is there a quick way to get back to the top? Problem is the same on iPad, too.

    You're welcome! It's still a little awkward but I think it's the best way

  • IPhoto6 - after a full reistall of Snow Leopard, iphoto does not display thumbnails. I've restored from time machine, rebuilt the library and run through the rebuild thumbnails function with no success. The files are there, I just get a dotted outline.

    iPhoto6 on iMac running SL - after a full reistall of Snow Leopard, iphoto does not display thumbnails. I've restored the library from time machine, rebuilt the library from iPhoto and run through the rebuild thumbnails function with no success. The files are there, I just get a dotted outline instead of the thumbnails. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to restore the thumbnails?

    Try the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • My extension does not work with firefox 5 and need to be able to download firefox 3.6 or 4. every time try to find it it keeps directing to 5 which does not work with our gaming extensions, the features do now work with f/f5

    Yep, I understand...
    This is the final news I needed to get to complete my answer... I confronted myself the italian store and the US one and in the US one I didn't find this product...
    As for the NI software, was so good that I just bought back my good "old" iMac G5 and will exchange it with this my Intel Mac. The G5 2 Ghz was good, performing as this new Intel (at times I even got the impression was more performing, but I believe is just an impression) and surely didn't have so many 3rd parties problems.
    Meanwhile I filled every forum of NI and USB with my questions about the compatibility... and maybe I will be back to an Intel Mac when all would be OK, I'm not in a hurry!
    By the way I had a listen to your work: GREAT!
    You may hear a sketch version of something we did work on with the NI piano and choir sounds, while the alto sax is played live and the other instruments are from Apple or real keys (yes, we mix a lot of things):
    http://www.garageband.com/song?
    while here is a track where we did use both the Orchestral sounds of Garageband (and some of it's loops, mixed with some good old programming) together with some NI sound:
    http://www.garageband.com/song?
    We do not often use orchestra if not as here and there (other than in some work as this last one, but is not so frequent). Hope you may like our little works!

    Try to reboot the iPhone, if that doesn't help make a backup via iTunes, and restore the iPhone via iTunes.
    Otherwise disable background refresh, and kill all apps

    Your ISP can only determine that their equipment is responding to ping requests. They can determine nothing about your equipment or if theirs is communicating with it.
    Disconnect the Ethernet cable that comes from their equipment and connect it directly to a computer instead of the Extreme. If you can load web pages, it means your Internet connection is working. If not, it's not.
    Is your ISP supplying cable Internet? Sometimes it is necessary to reset your ISP's connection by disconnecting their coaxial cable that connects to their modem. Literally unscrew it and leave it detached for a minute or so, then screw it back in again and power up the modem. They call this a "full reset". I don't know how it differs from simply powering down the modem, but I have confirmed that on rare occasions doing this will reset a recalcitrant connection.
    ... however the internet bars are present on the desktop and also indicated I was connected to the internet. 
    The Wi-Fi icon "bars" show that a connection to a wireless network has been established. It conveys no information about an Internet connection that lies beyond your local network. Option-click that menu and select "Open Wireless Diagnostics..." Authenticate with your Admin name and password and click the Continue button. Some useful diagnostic information and suggestions will result.

    After doing this my iPhone got stoke in the loading circle. How can I make it work again?

    Try connecting it to your computer and restoring it by going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking on Restore (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).  If that doesn't work you'll have to put it into recovery mode and restore it, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
