After Firefox update, pages are redirected whenever I type a letter or try to enter url, different redirects based on letter I type. Opens a windows explorer window, goes to original login, opens Start/Run window with cmd in box etc.

Please send some advice if you have any ideas of how to solve this issue.
The info that is shown about my computer is not accurate. The machine with the problems below is running 64 bit Vista but I cannot access a site like this one due to the constraints listed below.
I fell for what I thought was a Firefox update but since installing it, when entering a URL, I am redirected back to original computer log in / password entry box. If I use my browser window drop down list I can get into something like Facebook and move around but as soon as I try to type any letter into a 'comment' box, I am redirected to both a Windows Explorer type page showing my various drives and another Window from my Start/Run with the dialog box open with cmd entered in it already. Certain typed letters don't show up at all when trying to enter a 'comment' on Facebook while various letters get various different responses. It is impossible to enter any URL or use my browser other than the items in my drop down. Once there, say to my bank account, I cannot enter any password as I am immediately redirected to someplace else upon trying to type a letter or character. I don't know how to get my browser working. I have tried IE as well and the same thing happens. All started after the supposed upgrade of Firefox. Your help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • Firefox update page keeps opening in a new tab every time I open Firefox. How do I stop this?

    Every time I open up Firefox, the update checking window opens first, then I get 2 tabs that open. One is my home page, the other is the page that opens after a new version of Firefox is installed. How can I get the Firefox update page to stop opening? I had the same thing happen with the "Download Helper" add-on. The only way I could get it to stop was to disable it. I am running windows 7 and Firefox 9.

    Hello. Since my last firefox update, I have been unable to type an email - the box within which one would usually type does not appear when I press 'reply' to a received email, or press 'compose'. The email provider is '123-reg.co.uk. I have been using both firefox and the provider ['webfusion Ltd/webmail123] successfully for well over a year. The provider says it is a browser problem. I can still add an attachment to the email header, which successfully can be sent, but the recipient gets my standard email 'signature' with font messages and the attachment. Can anyone help? My email addresses are [email protected] [this is the one with the issue] and [email protected] in English

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • I can't create addfitional windows with cmd-N-they're "invisible".

    OS X 10.6.6, '''''dual monitor config''''' on a Mac mini (3,1) from 2010. Just got FF4.
    Steps to show buglet (not checked on a single display Mac—you must try with above config, also running "Spaces"):
    If running FF 3 with “remember windows from last session”, close all windows, then quit FF 3, then relaunch FF3 to confirm it opens only the home page. Close that window and quit FF 3.
    Install FF4.
    Launch FF4. Close whatever welcome window appears.
    Open a new window with cmd-N.
    Repeat the previous step. As many times as desired.
    All the new windows are listed in the Window menu, but are not selectable in the menu. Similarly, pulling a new tab out to sprout a new window makes the tab vanish. Again, the Window menu reports the existence of the “pulled-off” window, but the window itself is not accessible.

    Well, FF 3.0.1 was released, and this buglet lives on. Waiting for the next rev.

  • After Installing Logic Pro X, my Logic Pro 9's 32-bit AUs don't work. The 32-bit bridge doesn't open and run either in my Logic pro 9. My 32-bit AU plugins are crossed out. Help?

    As an overworked professional, I simply have to consider the very viable options out there. Never thought I'd be seriously considering a Cubase product.
    It's a Steinberg product, not a Cubase product.. in case you haven't been paying attention Steinberg developed the virtual instrument for use in it's programs way back in Cubase 3.55.. the plethora of virtual instruments and the advent of low-latency drivers can be directly traced to Steinberg/Cubase development.. Logic also borrowed Cubase's arrange page format back in the 1980's. Cubase has borrowed from Logic to be sure but Steinberg has long been an innovator for many of the things we take for granted today. It was Logic/Emagic who licensed the VST technology and ASIO low latency format to use in Logic 4.xx. It was Apple who adapted VST to it's own AU format. Also, Cubase and Nuendo have undergone a lot more innovation over the past three years, Yamaha has been good as a parent company. Cubase is not Nuendo's little brother by the way, they are very close, same exact audio engine, same robustness, they can exchange files, the only difference being Cubase doesn't have some of the high end post features that Nuendo has. I use both Cubase and Logic and occasionally Nuendo at the University here.. I know both programs fairly well, believe me, both Cubase 6 and 7 can hold their own with any DAW out there, they just don't come with a bunch of ready made loops and preset instruments.
    LogicX will never be able to use 32-bit instruments without a third party solution, nor will it ever include the Bridge. At least according to the people I know.

  • After Firefox updated itself to 3.6.12 I lost sound regarding all facebook applications

    after Firefox updated itself to 3.6.12 I lost sound regarding all facebook applications and videos. I have installed the latest flash and that doesn't solve the problem

    After Firefox updated to 3.6.12, my homepage stated that I did not have the Flash Player installed. The latest player was installed, but I uninstalled and attempted to re-install. The installation process worked, but the Adobe Flash banner on their page does not Flash like when a proper install occurs. The Adobe DLM add on will not allow me to change options on Firefox Addon page. Now Flash content on homepage will not play, and I am forced to use IE to view content.

  • I do not want the Firefox update page to load. I want only the Home page to load.

    When i first access the internet through Firefox, I get both the Firefox update page and my

  • After firefox update last night to 36.0.4, it is not starting?

    After firefox update last night to 36.0.4. I cannot open Firefox. It says Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open.
    I try to close it under task manager, it is not listed under process but under details - Cannot end task, as it says access is denied.
    I try to look for help on the net. It says to delete the file PARENT.LOCK, It says action cannot be complete as the file is open in Firefox.
    I try to shut down my computer, even log out on my current user but cannot delete the file Parent.lock.
    I am using a win 8.0
    The easiest way is to uninstall and to install a fresh application, but will this wipe out all my bookmarks etc....
    Thanks,
    Coco

    Hi Coco,
    Thank you for your question, since the parent.lock file cannot be removed it is possible to create a new profile:

  • After iOS6 update, It says cannot connect to iTunes Store when I try to go to the app store.

    After iOS6 update, It says cannot connect to iTunes Store when I try to go to the app store.
    How do I fix this on my iPhone 4S?

    Same phone and ios, same problem. Worked just fine for me Sunday, but nothing today, all day. As a workaround I found I can still connect using iTunes on my Macbook Pro, the I synch my iPhone. There are way too many people with the same problem for it to be anything but Apples problem. Hope this helps.

  • HT4484 I let my grandson open an apple account with my credit card.  He has been charging a little to much and I would like my credit card removed from this account.  I do not know the apple id or password.  How do i proceed?

    I let my grandsn open and itunes account with my credit card.  I want to remove my cc# from his account.  I do not know his apple id or password.  How do I proceed?

    I would say let him fess up and give him a chance to mend his ways, but there is at least one app that goes for $900 (according to another poster's request for a refund).  You may end up $1000+ deeper gone.
    Change the account number which will close the current links and freeze/prevent charges under the old number.  As I understand it Apple gets grumpy when charges get rejected, and you need to jump through hoops to get a payment method reattached.
    Yes this is a grumpy answer.

  • HT1766 I cannot complete my iphone configuration after sofware update, when i connect to itunes i keep gettin  a try again later message

    I cannot complete my iphone configuration after sofware update, when i connect to itunes i keep gettin  a try again later message

    That's usually a sign that your phone was hacked/jailbroken, and iTunes has detected such, errored out, preventing your phone from activating. Since Apple does not support hacking/jailbreaking, that's what happens, by design.
    We can't help you here, as Apple owns this forum. You'll have to go elsewhere.

  • After firefox updated last time, adobe updated as well, now whenever certain sites load, I get the a program needs you permission to continue which is Adobe DLM. What's up with this and how do I get it to stop?

    The problem started when firefox updated on startup. This screen is what vista puts up whenever you are about to load something new. I have already installed the adobe update twice and yet this continues.

    The Adobe DLM is not required for Adobe products to work. You can uninstall it by opening the Windows Control Panel and selecting Add or Remove Programs. In the list of programs select Adobe DLM (may be listed as Adobe Download Manager) and click on remove.

  • After firefox updated to version 6.02, all bookmarks, history and settings were missing. It looks like my old profile was overwritten with a new blank one.

    running windows 7 on a Dell desktop. Firefox updated yeaterday to version 6.02. When I next opened it, I could not find anything nor would the software let me restore bookmarks from the backup.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
