  • Can I access Firefox and Thunderbird from a remote computer while on vacation? if so how?

    going on vacation for 4 to 5 weeks. need to access my Firefox and Thunderbird from a remote computer in Fla. can I do that and if so how?

    Hi linkrj61,
    You could either use remote desktop to log on to your home computer or you could look at portableapps.com. This this will allow you to have versions of Firefox and Thunderbird the run from a USB stick so everything you do is tracked on the USB stick rather than the computer.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • After updating Firefox and Java, Firefox gets stuck loading,will not work, and I have to use End Now to exit it.

    I started to have problems after I updated Firefox and then I did a Java update, hoping this would help. Firefox will not finish loading, it gets stuck, I cannot go to websites with it, it is stuck. Then when I try to close it down, I get the message that it is not responding and I have to use" End Now". I am having to use Internet Explorer as my browser, which works fine. My computer is a six year old quite feeble PC with a 37GB hard drive with only about 5GB of available space left.

    Yes, you will lose all your data stored on the sync server if you reset the sync (recovery) key.
    If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

    Is the password manager working properly?
    You can find the sync password and the sync key in the password manager on the computer where you originally created that sync account (email).

  • How do I get audio back on YouTube after updating Firefox and Flash?

    Last night I updated Firefox to 32.0.3.  Today I noticed that YouTube has no audio, although video works fine.  I updated Flash to 15.0.0.152.  Still no audio.  I tried to update Shockwave, but after hitting “download”, it kept forwarding to the Creativity page.  I use XP SP3, and the specs say it is still supported with these updates.  This is the third time I have tried to post this question and keep getting non-functional dialog boxes on the Adobe site.

    First, try disabling hardware acceleration.  The troubleshooting guide below explains how:

    If that doesn't work, you might want to try an alternate browser like Google Chrome:

  • [SOLVED] Firefox and Thunderbird intermittently runs without a window

    I'm having an intermittent problem with Firefox and Thunderbird. When I attempt to launch either firefox or thunderbird the respective application will show up in htop (I see a bunch of firefox threads) but no window appears and the CPU load is 0%. When the application (Firefox or Thunderbird) is running but not visible, the mouse and keyboard remain fully functional; e.g. I can launch a new terminal and switch work-spaces without trouble. Repeatedly killing the application and restarting it will sometimes result in the application loading properly (i.e. I get a fully functional window with working menus, etc).
    I'm currently using Firefox version 8.0.1 and Thunderbird version 8.0 with the i3 window manager on my Macbook 5,1 (with nvidia drivers). I did a full system update about a month ago. I've not experienced this problem on my workstation: a custom built AMD system with ATI graphics. Both my macbook and custom workstation are using the same versions of i3, Firefox, and Thunderbird.
    I did a little experiment and temporarily switch over to fluxbox for a while. While using fluxbox I was unable to replicate the symptoms; both Firefox and thunderbird appear to work fine. But, since the problem is "random" it is hard to say for sure if this was just a coincidence.
    I tried launching firefox and thunderbird from a terminal: no errors or output of any kind are printed to the terminal even when the application window does not appear. Launching Firefox in safemode does not appear to have any influence.
    I saw a similar bug report on the mozilla website dating back a few years (version 3.0 I believe of Firefox). But I didn't see any links to a solution or explanation of the problem.
    Any advise on how to debug this?
    Thanks in advance.
    (I appoligize if this has already been addressed somewhere else. My search attempts did not yield any relevant hits.)
    EDIT: marked as solved

    I recently did a full system update, which includes a kernel upgrade (from 3.0 to 3.2), and the symptoms have disappeared. Firefox and Thunderbird appear to be functioning normally.
    It's still not clear what was causing the original problem. I guess I'll just have to live with the mystery.

  • Nvidia GeoForce Go 7600 graphics driver and IQ770 with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition

    I have been having problems with my screen for several months now:  every so often, for no apparent reason, it loses some of the pixels.  I can still read the items on the screen, but the resolution is trashed.  It happens intermittently and then goes back to normal.  I have tried uninstalling the graphics driver and letting the computer go find it on a reboot.  This does not work.  I have also tried installing the original graphics driver.  This does not work either.
    If I look in the "Problem Reports" area in Control Panel, there is a graphics related error: 
    Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078)  The resolution listed is to reinstall the device driver (which I've tried dozens of times without success) or to change the computer's performance settings, which also does nothing.  I still get the occasional loss of screen clarity which returns to normal all by itself.
    Is anyone else seeing this problem?  Does anyone have a resolution?
    I have tried the latest graphics driver available on the hp website, from 8-2008 as well as the originally installed version from January 2007.  The version of Windows is Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition, Service Pack 1.
    If I completely uninstall the graphics driver, and do not reload any, the screen performance is fine, but then there are other problems, such as graphics acceleration.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Firefox and Thunderbird open but won't display properly after update

    I know that I'm supposed to check all the updates carefully, and do it frequently, but the other day I realized that I'd forgotten and there were about 150 new packages and I let them install without looking much. Not that I can find anything about anyone else having this problem.
    What happens:
    Both programs open without any errors. The title bars look normal, and the rough shape of the toolbars is there, but instead of recognizable words or shapes, there are black and white and sometimes grey, blue, or orange dots and bars. I'll try to get a screenshot soon.
    Information about my computer:
    ThinkPad T42, about six years old, can provide more info if needed
    window manager is Openbox
    Things which I have tried:
    updating system again
    restarting
    removing firefox and installing it again
    looking on archlinux.org for a package which is required by both firefox and thunderbird and was recently updated, finding glib2, downgrading it (didn't work and pacman said it broke some other updated things so I put it back)
    edit in case anyone finds this in search
    An update fixed it. I don't know how or why.

  • Firefox and Thunderbird do not communicate anymore : I can't open links from TB emails ( a href... ) and can't send mail from FF pages (mailto)

    Hi there,
    Please excuse me if a make a few mistakes, I am French ;)
    I come here because firefox and thunderbird are not working together anymore. This is what happens :
    - Firefox and Thunderbird are opened
    - I click on a link in an email
    - A few seconds after that a Firefox windows pops up. The title is : "Close Firefox", the content is : "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
    Second case :
    - Firefox is closed and Thunderbird is open
    - I click on a link in an email
    - A few seconds after that a Firefox windows pops up as expected. Firefox opens the link as expected but doesn't opens the other tabs as usual (when i start FF it re-opens previous tabs)
    Third case :
    - Firefox and Thunderbird are opened
    - I click on a link to send an email (<a href="mailto:......@.....">)
    - A few seconds after that a Thunderbird windows pops up. The title is : "Close Thunderbird", the content is : "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
    As in the second case, if TB is closed when i click on the mailto, TB opens properly and send the email.
    If Internet Explorer is set as my default browser, it works fine for "Thunderbird -> link -> IE" but the "IE-> mailto -> TB" still doesn't work.
    I already looked up for some answers on google but can't find something which works.
    Thank you in advance for your answers.
    Vincent

    Check the target field in the Firefox desktop shortcut and make sure that you do not start Firefox with the -no-remote switch or have set the environment variable MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 (Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment variables).
    Always make sure to start at least the default profile without the -no-remote command line switch.
    If you need to have more than one profile open at the same time then start subsequent instances with the -no-remote command line switch.
    You can not send links from other programs to a Firefox instance that is started with the -no-remote switch.
    In such a case you need to drag links in a Firefox window or paste the link in the location bar.

  • Am I the only one getting calls from 253-802-0308 about malicious file downloads after updating FIREFOX?

    After updating Firefox I start getting calls from 253-802-0308 (International Telcom in Auburn Washington, found using 411.com). The report that they are getting messages that my Windows PC is reporting the downloading of malicious files. I don't think that there is a connection with Mozilla but it only started after I ran the last 2 or 3 updates to Firefox. Searches on Google and other search engines don't show logical connections to the phone calls and the problem being reported to me. None of my anti-virus programs, Ccleaner, DEFENDER & AVG pickup and malicious files. I'm curious about who they may be because when I question them during the calls they end up hanging up on me. Just wondering if similar problems are being reported.

    That is a reported scammer set-up. Read some of the following from actual phone customers. It is not related to your Firefox updates. I have gotten a few of these types of calls on my '''''unlisted '''''home phone number over the past several years. They use a dialer, usually automatic and sequential number dialing. Get a loud whistle to blow into the phone mouth piece or one of those loud air horns from the hardware/sporting good store; this kind of trash deserves broken ear drums.

  • Profiles corrupt in firefox and thunderbird after restart win 7 new profiles created

    After restarting computer (Win 7 64 bit) new profiles in firefox and thunderbird created. Old profiles still there. May have been a Windows update (don't recall) at shut-down. Perhaps a clue Win 7 desktop ini file changed and this occurred: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330132
    New computer install in use 2-3 days.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After restart

    Solution:
    The profiles.ini file had changed for both Thunderbird and Firefox.
    I manually edited both profiles.ini files and changed the profile path back to the correct profile. For example I changed :
    Path=Profiles/bbwyygfp.default
    to:
    Path=Profiles/k5adm39.default
    Would mark this as solved if I knew how.....

  • After updating numbers and pages I can no longer copy multiple cells from numbers and paste and match style to pages.

    After updating numbers and pages I can no longer copy multiple cells from numbers and paste and match style to pages.  I used to be able to select multipule cells in a row (such as company name, address, etc.) then paste and match style on to a pages letter. I found the paste and match style option in the edit menu, however it will only work one cell at a time. Before the update is was working great.

    For diagnosing purpose thy the procedure in a new user account and see if it works there. You create a new user account in the System Preferences > Accounts. If it works in the new account it is probably a corrupt plist file that needs to be deleted.

  • Lion os 10.7.5 blocks ALL (firefox and thunderbird) automatic update s narrowly Firefox 30.0 is there a work around?

    Since firefox was installed, no auto updates are take place when the frequent "UPDATE AVAILABLE - A security and stability update for Firefox is available:
    Firefox 30.0
    It is strongly recommended that you apply this update for Firefox as soon as possible." pop up on the screen.
    WHEN "Update Firefox" button is clicked authorized a bar indicates running however never completes an installation. This routinely occurs with both firefox and thunderbird, on Mac Mini Server, and MacBook Air, each running latest version of Lion. Are you able to assist troubleshoot?

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
    *Firefox 30.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
    Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
