After uninstalling Firefox and clicking the box that asked about uninstalling bookmards too I can't open my old links that I've had for years.(IE) Please help!
The only links that are usable are the ones I had on a Yahoo toolbar on my IE homepage which I never deleted or changed during this whole process. I've tried System Restore and a ClickFree Restore. All the Clickfree did was put hundreds of icons on my desktop that look like they go on from here to timbuck two. System Restore said the restoration failed - numerous times. Not sure if I should use Recuva - I'm a little gunshy now to try anything. Please help. Thanks SO much!
The Solution: Tools - Internet Options - Program Tab ... and there was the Default Web Browser option. It said that IE was NOT the default browser. I changed that and IT WORKED.
A simple and sweet fix ... all thanks to: Martin Brinkmann a journalist from Germany who founded Ghacks Technology News Back in 2005. I found him through this article:

Thank You again Martin Brinkmann!

After I updated to 3.6.8 I started noticing on a game I play at UniversalCriminal.com that randomly when I click on a link, firefox will load the appropriate page and as soon as it finishes loading that page it will refresh or reload the same page. It doesn't happen on any particular link it just happens randomly, and not all the time but most of the time. I tried reverting back to an earlier version of firefox but it still happened. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled the latest version but it still happens. It doesn't do it with IE or Chrome or Opera. What gives? Any ideas anyone?
I see that you ave changed some network.http prefs.<br />
Doing that can cause all kinds of problems because not all servers like such changes, so you can try to reset those prefs on the about:config page.<br />

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] -
I have an older G5 tower Power PC and the OS 10.5.8, but the firefox and safari browers are no longer supporting this computer. How can I download an older version that works with this computer?
Or what is the newest OS system I can load onto this computer?
I think it is from 2006Hello,
10.5.8 is the highest OSX it can run.
TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...

I'd avoid vesrion 24 though, as it no longer supports plug-ins like Flash.
SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...

Might also look into iCab & OmniWeb versions. -
I have a problem with two PDF's when trying to open them through a link on a web page. The two PDF's open fine with Adobe on my own PC and on the server I have copied it to but when they are opened through a link on a web page (pointing to the server where the PDFs open fine) I get an error 'There was an error processing a page. Invalid function resource' The other one just doesn't open at all. Can anyone help with this please?
Hello,
Are the pdf linked correctly in the website? Is this a public website? If yes, please post the link here.

I have a MBA and although I have a broadband connection, the internet speed in the MBA is pathetic. I even can't open a normal song in Youtube in half an hour, so please help !
Has the speed ever been acceptable, or is this something new? Try resetting Safari and perhaps rebooting your router.

I've already tried re-downloading the setup wizard for Firefox 6.0.1 again and re-running it, but I still have the same problem as before.
Flash Player Protected Mode provides a modern, sophisticated set of security protections that we see as critical in today's security landscape.
We highly recommend that users not disable ProtectedMode. Also, it's worth noting that by manually changing your mms.cfg, you have opted out of Protected Mode for all future versions of Flash Player, as we will continue to honor that preference. This puts your system at risk, and that risk will continue to grow over time.
Ultimately, this is an issue with the RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in. There is a more technical explanation in the Mozilla bug referenced above in the thread, but the simplified version is that the security enhancements designed to prevent the introduction of malware via Flash Player make RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in no longer compatible with Flash Player for Firefox. You can disable the record functionality to eliminate this issue, while retaining the ability to view both Flash and Real Player content.
To disable the Real Player Browser Record functionality while maintaining the enhanced security provided by Flash Player with Protected Mode, do the following:
Launch RealPlayer
Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner of the window, and choose Preferences
Choose Download & Recording from the left-hand menu
Uncheck "Enable Web Download & Recording for these installed browser"

I have fixed the cookies problem. I uninstalled Firefox and rebooted the system
This was the first time that I rebooted the system before I reinstalled Firefox. Everything works fine now.
Hello again,
Whenever i click on something (for example to windows media player, explorer new window etc.), the fan speeds up for 1 seconds and gets low again.
In this review, it's is clearly told that the fan gets up and down very often.
''The fan on this laptop, while having the ability to spin slowly, likes to quickly ramp up at the slightest temperature increase. It also has no delay, causing the fan to quickly speed up, slow down, speed up, slow down, etc. This started to drive me up the wall when some programs were running. I am hoping a BIOS fix comes around to mellow out the fan''
That is exactly what I am complain about.
The whole review can be found here:

Download and installation help for Adobe links

I attempted to open Firefox as usual and when I clicked on the icon nothing happened. I uninstalled Firefox and then reinstalled. It said that the download for Firefox was successful but it still does not open. When I click on Firefox it now just says to upgrade Firefox. What should I do to get Firefox up and running again. I have a Mac and my Safari is linking me just fine to the internet so Apple says it is not a Mac problem but a Firefox problem.
I notice you turned off the setting that diverts new windows to a new tab. Since the new window will open in front of your current tab, it may appear that the current tab was closed, when in fact it is behind the new window. This hard to explain in words.
Do you want to switch the setting?
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs
Check the box for "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
Does that help? -
im trying to uninstal firefox so i went to my control pannel clicked on add or remove progams then clicked on mozzola firefox and clicked remove it said it was still running so i clicked ctrl alt dlt and clicked task manager and ended firefox from running and when i did that the box to uninstall firefox exited so i clicked it again and the program started running again i dont know what to do i need firefox uninstalled
I assume you are using windows. There are two options:
1. Try restarting your computer and then try uninstalling.
2. Firefox might be a program that starts immediately upon booting. In that case, go to the task manager, end all tasks that firefox is running. Then try uninstalling firefox -
