All current versions of firefox (4-6) only open about 70% of the web pages I go to some are sites that I know work but firefox 4-6 will not open it. How Come?

when I try to open certain pages like newegg.com or the like it will hang and the entire page will go black. then when I go to close the browser I can't close it in the normal fashion I have to end the task in windows task manager. This only happens when I have installed Firefox Versions 4,5 and 6. I am still using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.20 due to the web page instability that I have experienced with the newest versions. Also this will happen when I visit the Mozilla Main page as well.

I have had to go back to 3.6 because 4 - 6 will not work on half the web sites I go to. I also have the same problem with newer versions of IE. There is some thing missing in newer versions or needs to be turned on.

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

    Download them to iTunes abd then sync the apps. Make an appointment with Apple and see what the problem is.

  • I have zinced songs from my PC to my iPad  and it has copied all the songs on my pc but some are showing very faintly on my iPad and these songs will not play. I have tried to delete them but they will not stay hilighted and show delete to enable me to do

    Can anyone help me to delete the faintly listed songs on my iPad which I have transferred from my Pc but they will not play on my iPad.

    Thanks for trying to help me. 
    First, in you reply (and i've read this elsewhere), you imply that i need to check a box that says "manually manage music."  OK, great, but where do i find such box?  Is that on the iphone or in itunes?  Also, i am afraid of losing what i already do have on my phone.  I have about 150 songs, some of which were purchesed thru itunes, but most of which i "dropped and dragged" from my older computer with the older version of itunes.  When i go to itunes with my iphone plugged in, all of the boxes are grayed out, except one at the top that says "Sync Music".  When i check this box, i get an error warning that says "Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?  Music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones synced to [name of my iPhone] from other iTunes libraries will be removed and items will be synced from this iTunes library." 
    So, i have over 3000+ songs in my itunes library on my computer... obviously that isn't going to fit on my phone. So then, what is going to happen?  I'll lose everything that is already on my phone PLUS it will NOT be able to sync? 
    Is now the time to buy a Zune?!?  For the company that is supposedly "user friendly", Apple has really managed to screw this one up. 
    Thanks, John

  • I downloaded the new version of Firefox and it will not open certain of the addresses that I use to run my business. How can I delete this version and go back to the previous version? thank you

    I would like to revert back to the previous version of Firefox. Please tell me how to do this

    hello and thank you for your suggestion. I have tried it and, when trying to open a program which I previously was able to, still get the following message:
    Remote XUL
    This page uses an unsupported technology that is no longer available by default in Firefox.
    Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
    Seems unbelievable that I previously had no problem and now I do. Have you any suggestions to overcome this? Do you think I can go back further in Firefox history to get a version that will make it possible to access this. Many thanks! Lynn

  • Newest version of Firefox for Windows will not install.

    After the auto update of Firefox failed to work, I downloaded the full installation file for the most recent version of Firefox (28.0). The setup file extracts but doesn't install. I also cannot find the extracted file(s) on my computer. I have tried uninstalling older versions, running antivirus, anti-rootkit and malware programs and also disabling those programs before trying to install. Any other suggestions I can try?

    Download and save the full Firefox installer from here :- http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html

  • The new version of Firefox, 18.02, will not load any pages. Why not?

    I attempted to open Firefox and was told it would load when the updates were applied, which was nothing new. It loaded fine and there were no incompatible add-ons, but it will not load any web pages. I'm on the same computer using Chrome to send this message. Everything was working fine in release 18.01.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • How to know through code if the web page is modified on a particular site ?

    Hi all..
    I have an application developed using struts framework. In my application i accept URL from user and
    then connect to that URL. After that i retrieve the contents of that URL and do further processing. I have an action class which does these things. I store these processed contents in database along with the URL.
    The requirement is that if some other user requests with the same URL in my application, that time already processed data from database shall be used.
    As we know web sites keep on modifying its pages from time to time. I want some routine with which i can check if the issued URL ( specific web page ) is actually modified or not. It it is so , i will connect to actual URL and if no then i will use the data already stored in database . Is that possible ?
    What are the possible ways to implement the same ?
    Can any one have solution in this regard ?
    Thanks in advance..

    Use Ajaxical polls to inform the server if there isn't any update. If so, change page accordingly using JS+DOM.
    You can't do that from the server side on. The HTTP protocol fortunately disallows pushing responses.

  • Firefox 7.01 will not (no matter how I try it) view pdf's

    I upgraded to ff7.01 from 3. whatever on osx 10.5.8 I cannot view pdf's I have tried all of the suggestions regarding this, install uninstall etc. how do I fix this? even if I go back & reinstall FF3.6... i still cannot view pdf's i do not want to use safari, or g-chrome, please help. thanks

    I have tried everything to get PDFs to open. Reinstalling Adobe Reader, installing PDF Download, all to no avail. Everything worked fine before updating to 7.01. Do not want to use Chrome or IE, but may have no option unless there is a fix. When clicking a PDF, the only Tab that opens is a blank one with Rich text editor in the Tab Name.

  • My wake/sleep button doesn't work, and my iphone 4 will not charge so how can i reset it?

    i need help

    The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
    Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
    If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
    "Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
    You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

  • Using  the current version of photoshop CC with Mac OS 10.9 for the next 5 or so years on same mac?

    I am intending to upgrade to photoshop CC from photoshop CS6, my concern is is my computer is 6 years old and probably I will not be able to upgrade to a later mac operating system as I have mac os 10.9, and I may not be able to upgrade to a future version of photoshop, will I be able to use the current version of photoshop CC with Mac OS 10.9 for the next 5 or so years on same mac?, I know I can do this with Photoshop CS6.

    There's no reason why you can't do both.  You will always have CS6 to fall back on if the need should ever arise, the same as most of the regular posters here.  But you could enjoy CC for as long as it suited you, and it has some very features and more are coming all the time.
    We've seen two nice updates to Photoshop CC in the eight months since the subscription model went live.  (Have I got that right?)  So we can expect three a year or more, and there were some killer new features in 14.2.  Heck, it would already break my heart if I had to go back to CS6.  In another four years...   It ain't gonna happen.

  • I can't copy/save pictures of items on ebay. I can only save the web page. I can copy/save with IE. Why?

    On items listed on ebay, you can click on a picture to enlarge it. With IE I can save the picture to my computer. Firefox only allows me to save the web page. What can I do to save pictures - .jpg or .bmp?
    The same problem happens if the seller includes pictures in the text description.

    Now I cannot create a screenshot because the massage doesn't appear anymore.
    I was told that this is not my problem only. Is it the recent update that broke somethng? I've all the accounts configured correctly, MT just doesn't send or download messages.
    I tried to remove one of my accounts to re-set it, but when I tried to configure it once again Mozilla rejects it claiming the password is wrong. I triple checked, it's correct.

  • Firefox 3.6 will not open more than one time after creating new profile

    Just upgraded to newest version of firefox and it will not open...
    I have gone to "terminal" and created a new profile; firefox opens...but then if I quit out and try to reopen firefox, it does not open.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    See also "Hang at exit":

  • I use the Norton toolbar feature that manages all my passwords. How can I go back to the former version of Firefox since 4 is not compatible?

    How can I go back to a former version of Firefox?

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
