Starting last night, after an update, I am no longer able to use Firefox.
"Problem loading page"

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at.....
I have tried various things, even uninstalled and re-installed, took it out of the firewall, and added it back in. But nothing is working.
Please help!
Thank You

Hello Mara, see if the next is helpful : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]
also, try to boot the computer in [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows Safe mode with network support] (press F8 on the boot screen) and check firefox again.
(If works in Windows Safe mode then probably you have problem with other software, like security software or maybe a system driver, that is running on your computer).
thank you

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

Music not playing after IDT update last night (HP automated update) How can I roll the patch back?
I was notified of an HP update last night. After the update completed, Itunes/MS media player/You-Tube....applications are unable to play. Checked Installed programs and the only update listed was one for IDT drivers. How can I roll back to the previous version?
This question was solved.
View Solution.I had the same issue, after reading several other posts with the same issue, I restored to before Oct 29th. Now my sound works just fine and my games that were also going hinky started to work as well.
It would be nice if HP fixed this issue before sending up another update. It is very annoying to have undo what they did so my computer works correctly. -
Difficulty after installing update last night
Received our imac last Monday. Installed update last night. Internet is ridiculously slow now. Help?
Steve, thanks for your suggestions. In the future I will do so. My husband called Apple yesterday afternoon, where the problem was stumping everyone as the update did not have anything to do with Safari. Went to a higher level programmer, they had my husband remove and reinstall Safari. When I got home, I tried the internet on our old mini-laptop. Still horrible speed, but shouldn't have been affected by the iMac update. Called our ISP and there appears to be a problem with our modem or connection. Too many wireless items on our modem appears to be an issue! Anyone have suggestions on a modem which can handle about 7 wireless items (2 x ps3, 2 x ds, 2 computers and a wii)?
So happy that it was just a coincidence that the problem cropped up after the update. Being a 1 week iMac user had us concerned we'd ruined it! -
After loading Lion 10.7 I'm no longer able to use Quicken 07. Any work around?
After loading Lion 10.7 to my Desk Top, I'm no longer able to use my Quicken 07. Is there a work around? All my financial records are in Quicken 07 or do I need to remove Lion 10.7 from my computer
Quicken is a PPC application. They will not work in Lion because Lion no longer supports Rosetta emulation.
1. You can downgrade to Snow Leopard.
2. You can switch to Quicken Essentials.
3. You can purchase a different application that provides similar services for you. Examples are MoneyDance or MYOB.
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard. I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1. -
Firefox and Adobe problems after Flash update last night
OK, this is a non-Apple question, but I haven't found any solution yet.
Everyone knows that to run the "Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in, Version 10.1.3" in Firefox, you had to open in 32-bit mode. I did and that plug-in, plus the "Adobe Acrobat Create PDF 1.2" extension worked just fine running Firefox 12. Tonight I got notification that I needed to update Adobe Flash Player. I did (quitting and restarting Firefox after the installation).
THEN up popped a warning - Firefox suggesting that I disable the NPAPI plug-in and finding out here that Firefox was disabling the plug-in. So I disabled it, restarted, etc. Then I found that the Create PDF plug-in would crash if I tried to save a web page as PDF within Firefox.
Is there any way to go BACK to the older Flash plug-in? That seems to be at the root of my problem. I can use PDF Browser plug-in in Firefox to display PDF files but what I really need is the Create PDF extension back (it's strangely absent from Safari - at least I've not been able to find it).
Any help out there?
Thanks,

Create PDF or save as PDF?
Pete
Pete,
I can always use the PDF creator "Save as Adobe PDF" that is available from the Print menu and added by Acrobat Pro X, but it does not always save the hyperlinks correctly, etc., where the Adobe Create PDF does a fantastic job... I'd just like to have it back. It does not show up in the Safari extensions/add-ons for some reason.
Thanks for getting back so quickly!
Clinton
Then you may well have to go to the Mozilla Forums on this one. As I say, I steer clear of Firefox because of all it's bulky extentions.
Good Luck

After System Update last night, the system will not boot with IOPlatformExpert.cpp:1504 error
I have had Lion for a 2, 3 months on the iMac 27 inch purchased last October (2011). Last night I chose to update the system, and deselected iMoves update because it was 1GB, and chose only 4 updates, including iTunes, Safari (i think)... But the update says error, and ask to restart the system (it won't restart itself, so I waited 30 minutes, and then pressed the Power button for 10 seconds, to let it power down, and press Power again to power it up).
However, after that, the system failed to boot up, showing a
panic(cpu 0 caller .....)" "Unable to finder driver for this platform: \"ACPI\". ... xnu-1699.26.8/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp:1504
This is not typical of the upgrade process. So I searched the Internet forIOPlatformExpert.cpp:1504 and some people said it is a hard drive error, but then I powered down and pressed Options when booting up, and was able to boot to Windows 7 (bootcamp)... and was able to boot to the "Recovery", which let me choose

what should I do now to fix it so that it can boot again?This error is caused by one of the updates you applied, namely the Thunderbolt Software Update 1.2. Many people have been affected by it, including me. I did what Linc Davis has suggested above to fix it. The most extensive discussion about the problem, with ways to fix the problem, is here:

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.

Is the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) still there?
If so then try to delete that folder.

Things appear fine as I type them, but after a while, I will look up at a tab or search field, and the writing appears strangely. If I mouse over the gibberish text, it will return to normal.
Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Wont boot after update last night *FIXED*
After I installed the latest update last night (3/23/13) my phone just sits at that red looking eye. There's animations like the lightning moving around, but wont actually boot. I've tried soft rebooting and the recovery boot, but still nothing. Looks like I'm going to have to take it back to the store and lose all my information. Absolutely ridiculous!
Well, for some reason I cant reply to threads, so Im updating the solution here.
Took the phone to the store and the Tech Specialist said the reason it was hanging up is because I have my phone encrypted when you shut it off. SO, basically if you have your phone pass worded, you have to factory reset your phone and lose all of your data. And, as an added bonus, you wont be able to access your microSD card either, since it is encrypted! The card thinks your connecting it to a different device, and even after entering your password you still cant access it. Wonderful! The only way for the card to recognize your factory reset phone is to reformat it. Brilliant! *** is wrong with the eggheads at Google??? I was the 5th person to goto the store with this issue, and the store had only been open 30 min. NOTE TO VERIZON! PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL OR OTHER MESSAGE TO ALL YOUR CUSTOMERS REGARDING THIS CLUSTER! This was a huge waste of time, AND data loss!!!!!
Message was edited by: Nick RuchalaHappy day DMONIC,
I know that it has been a few days since your device has been rebooting. budone gave an excellent recommendation. May I ask have you tried a factory reset yet? I know you may be concerned about your personal info. The great news is that your contacts and calendar entries are safely backed up on your Gmail account. I would suggest verifying that you info is preserved online beofre doing the reset. If you have already resolved this issue or need additional assistance then please advise, just in case more help is needed.
Thank you...

Where is the version for 64-bit Linux?
When I go to the Download page for Linux, it just has the 32-bit version. Of course I'm running 64-bit Linux so I don't want to run 32-bit Firefox.
