i get a prompt to update firefox and i do then when i try to start firefox i am unable to. i have back-up my computer to previous date and the uninstall and re-install firefox to find the same prompt for updates from firefox and i cant ignore it so it is always there.

It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • I am unable to open firefox and have it display on the screen. It is on the taskbar, I can see the page but it only stays on the taskbar. What do I have to do to expand it on the screen? Also the other programs can be opened from the taskbar.

    FireFox can be opened but it is not usable since I am unable to view and access it on the screen/monitor.
    I can open E, Google, with no problem only Firefox.

    It depends upon how you want to deal with the situation.  Your old library file (library.itl) is corrupt.  You can try either re-creating the library file or you can just start afresh.
    If you want to start fresh, let it create a new library in a new folder.

  • I restarted my Firefox this morning and it automatically updated to version 9.0.1. Since that update, I am unable to open Firefox - it is giving no response.

    I restarted my Firefox this morning and it automatically updated to version 9.0.1. Since that update, I am unable to open Firefox. When I try to open it (and this is on a Mac), it does not respond and freezes with a white screen, the tab says "connecting...," and there are no bookmarks or anything showing on the browser. It does not respond at all - I cannot even click into the navigation to change any of the preferences. Please, someone help! Not having Firefox is killing me!

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

He plays fine on my laptop, but for some reason the music is stuck on his computer.
    All you have to do is disable the "Cool Previews" add on for firefox. Go to the "Tools" link at the top of the browser, go down to "Add Ons", go to the "Cool Previews", click "Disable". Then restart firefox and it should be fine!

    Hi Professor66,
    I have a couple of suggestions for you regarding this issue. Here are two links to users who have posted similar questions to yours and have found their answers in the responses to their posts:
    Safari hangs when loading web pages. | Apple Support Communities
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3784708
    Safari loading blank pages | Apple Support Communities
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3899912
    I would suggest that you first follow the troubleshooting that the OP did in the second link, which is to test in a new user account to see if the behavior is consistent. If it is, you may need to address the issue at a software level by re-installing Safari. More information on this process can be found in the following article:

  • After Updating to Server 4.1 Open directory and LPAD gone

    Hello,
    two days ago I discovered that Open directory was not working on our Server (Mac Mini 2012). I suspect it stopped working after updating to 10.10.3 and OS-X Server 4.1. When I try to start Open directory in the Server App the Server App prompts: Unable to load Replica List. When I try to recreate my Open directory Server I Get: OD Server already exists.
    I get the following log entries:

    I had a similar problem. A couple days after upgrading, I encountered OD's "Unable to load replica" problem and had my server's certificate deleted from my system keychain!
    Server.app + OD + LDAP are all extremely fragile and I just don't trust them during transitions, so I always keep an independent bootable backup with Carbon Copy Cloner and this preflight script. I'll post my notes for recovering OD below, but in my case, nothing worked this time, and I couldn't start OD robustly across reboots. Fortunately for me, my 12 hour old bootable backup was working, so I just used CCC to copy my bootable backup back. Not sure what I would have done had that not worked short of rebuilding everything from scratch.
    Pre-steps:
    0. Bootable backups, Time Machine backups, and dirserv backups of everything.
    1. Disk Utility: Fix disk permissions, Fix disk
    2. PRAM reset, Command-Option-P-R at boot
    3. DiskWarrior to rebuild the disk directory
    Possible steps to fix OD:
    # Fix Open Directory "Unable to load replica"
    # Try this first:
    # https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT200018
    # Quit Server.app
    sudo mkdir /var/db/openldap/migration/
    sudo touch /var/db/openldap/migration/.rekerberize
    sudo killall PasswordService
    # Open Server.app
    # Try this second:
    # http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/79141/how-to-fix-failing-open-directory -database-cn-authdata-cannot-be-opened-err
    sudo serveradmin stop dirserv
    sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.openldap.slapd.plist
    sudo db_recover -h /var/db/openldap/authdata/
    sudo /usr/libexec/slapd -Tt
    sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.openldap.slapd.plist
    sudo serveradmin start dirserv
    # Try this third:
    # https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6018956
    sudo serveradmin stop dirserv
    sudo slapconfig -restoredb /private/var/backups/ServerBackup_OpenDirectoryMaster.sparseimage
    sudo serveradmin start dirserv
    # Try this fourth (assuming ccc_preflight od backup):
    # https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6018956
    sudo serveradmin stop dirserv
    sudo slapconfig -restoredb /private/var/backups/odbackup/od_2015-04-11.sparseimage
    sudo serveradmin start dirserv
    # Try this last:
    sudo rsync -va /your-backup-drive-possibly-TM/private/var/db/openldap/authdata/ /private/var/db/openldap/authdata/
    If your server cert gets deleted from the System keychain, you'll need to boot into the bootable backup and export the certificate+key that looks like hostname.domainname.tld, signed by IntermediateCA_HOSTNAME.DOMAINNAME.TLD_1, copy this to the server drive, import back into the System keychain. The cert should then appear within Server.app again. See here for how to do this if all you have is the System keychain file.
    If anyone has reliable advice how to fix a corrupt OD that would be a huge help.

  • After installing or uninstalling a program or after installing a Windows update requiring a reboot, I lose Firefox and have to reboot a second time.

    Am running VistaSP2 on a Dell E520 with a Kaspersky based AV program. Ever since I installed the latest version of Firefox I find that when I install or uninstall a new app (e.g. Adobe Acrobat X Pro, Skype, Windows Messenger, etc.) or when I install an update from any source that requires a reboot, I find that Firefox will not start. Even the UAC confirmation window will not open. I have to perform a second reboot to be able to open Firefox. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it and it does not help.

    Which is it, hanging or crashing, or both?

  • After updating software on IPAD from computer says I have to reset IPAD to factory default and will lose all data???

    After updading software on IPAD2 tells me I have to reset to factory default and will lose all data

    Kinda.
    Read the following in its entirty before doing anything.
    Note that a "Restore" could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • I can't open Youtube (and another web sides) in none browser, i tried camino, safari, chrome, Please help!

    I tried lot of things and i still having the problem, the page doesnt get open, just loading, and if i want to see one youtube video in other page i still cant, the video is black.
    I can saw all other videos in other format or in other site, but simply i cant open YOUTUBE! please help

    I don't have the problem, but some users have reported a conflict while using Firefox. I know you've tried a variety of browsers, but an updated Safari might offer success.  If not, the most frequent issue relates to buffering problems. Your success may vary with your connection speed.
    It bothered me when you wrote that you can't open other websites with your browser, either. Or is your problem isolated to Youtube?
    In either case, I'd be most obliged if you could post here with your results.

  • Why am I both unable to open Firefox and unable to uninstall it? I used Firefox regularly until today, but this morning I did a System Restore and other troubleshooting and now Firefox is completely unavailable to me.

    I've been having lots of problems with my computer abruptly shutting down lately. This problem '''''might''''' be solved -- it's too early to tell.
    When I try to uninstall Firefox, it beeps like Windows is going to uninstall it, then nothing. I close out the Window, then search for it to see if it's gone. It's still there.
    I like Firefox, but now I'm forced to use IE. How can I get Firefox back? I don't want to download it until I've uninstalled what's on here now.

    First, please try reinstalling Firefox over your current installation. There is very little risk of making things any worse than the system restore function has already done.

  • Tried opening Firefox and got error code 502 - problem with server - how do i fix please

    i tried to open internet through Firefox as usual and got repeated error message 502 (problem with server - try again in 30 seconds) - but no joy. is there a problem with the server or is there a problem at my end somehow?
    tks Paul

    Thanks for the suggestion Rhonda. You're correct in saying this is impractical though. The fact is, I can't open a tab to keep it open. After doing some online research, I was able to locate a site where I could download a previous Firefox version (6.0). Problem solved! Google: "''How can I find a previous version of Firefox''. As I stated in my original question, Mozilla should not update w/o making certain it doesn't create these issues. I spent hours on this. I also turned off auto updates. I appreciate your suggestion. Thank you!
