Auscompgeek: Firefox 3.6.6 works, but 3.6.7 and 3.6.8 bring up a cannot connect issue

Firefox 3.6.7 and 3.6.8 do not connect to the internet. I've been on Mozilla support, and no luck. I have tried everything that I can, it's left to the dev team to fix the problem for 3.6.9 else I just won't be able to use it ever again.
4.0b1 works too... but it has this issue of switching to the windows 7 basic theme -.- but I heard this is a known issue and 4.0b2 is coming out soon.
I've posted 2 threads on here before but I've had no response. So here I go again...
Any help? Urgent -.-

Hello Jean-Luc.
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 is not disappears 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.

    every time I try to use internet, the application(firefox/safari/chrome) stop working but when I use the modem on windows it works great. whats the problem?

    I just spoke with Tesco technical support (having been transferred to them by Clubcard support), who told me that the problems people are experiencing when visiting the Tesco site via Safari aren't currently being addressed because "not enough people have called to complain about it".
    I asked what percentage of people he thought might make the effort to call instead of just giving up. He replied that he would be one of those who just gave up.
    So it would seem that if we would like the problem to be resolved, we each need to take a few moments to CALL TESCO and ensure our complaint is logged by the technical support team.

  • My usb that i have been using on my computer for a while suddenly stopped working, but is still glowing and letting me know that it is connected, but not showing up in disk utility

    my usb that i have been using on my computer for a while suddenly stopped working, but is still glowing and letting me know that it is connected, but not showing up in disk utility

    Either the physical drive or the enclosure electronics has failed. The light you are seeing is powered by the USB connection, the power, electricity, all USB ports put out. That doesn't mean the actual physical hard drive or the USB to SATA bus electronics are working properly. If it doesn't show in Disk Utility then it is DEAD.
    Most of the time it is the enclosures electronics that fail. Removing the physical drive from the enclosure and put it in another enclosure or using a SATA to USB adapter, one that has it's own AC power supply, might allow you to get the files off the drive.

    My iMessage doesn't work on my iPad. My software is up to date, wifi is working, apple ID is working but the verification stops and goes back to sign on. Why does this happen?

    Look at no. 5 in this text which was copied from Apple's support site for troubleshooting Messages and FaceTime activation.
    Troubleshooting Apple ID activation
    After each step, toggle iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. You can complete activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
    If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
    Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
    In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
    Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location.

    Ever since I installed MAVERICK, nothing now works, Flash Player won't run, printer works but scanner will not and the computer runs so slow.  Any help anywhere?

    wqn02h, first thing I would do is use Disk utility to repair permissions. Once this is done. Make sure you have the latest versions of the software you use. Also, check the manufacter of your printer/scanner for updated software. If they don't have updated software there are 3rd party alternatives that will work.

  • ITunes tells me there is an update (5.1) but it never gets any further than trying to connect to the iPad server. I've tried updating directly from my iPad and it too times out saying it cannot connect to any server. My regular Apple updates work fine.

    iTunes tells me there is an iOS update (5.1) but it never gets any further than trying to connect to the iPad server. I've tried updating directly from my iPad and it too times out saying it cannot connect to any server. My regular Apple updates work fine.

    I haven't updated yet. Apple's download servers have been too busy. Did you know you can update via wifi instead of connection to your computer?
    Here's a description of the update. Not a lot of changes for iPad 1/2.

  • Tried to update to newest version. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes and is stuck on a connection with itunes screen

    I tried to update to newest version via pc. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase so it says, but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes anymore and is stuck on a screen displaying an itunes icon with a usb icon.

    oke i'm not done with the whole thing, but i'm doing that right now. Most of the advice I've already read didn't work and at a certain point it said something about shutting down programs then restart. but i notice that there are some pretty important system things in that list and i don't want to mess up my pc :s i'm not a pc genius... and because i'm dutch and my pc-language is in dutch I often have trouble translating and well... i don't always understand the technical stuff in all the articles -_-

    I am trying to install Firefox 4 on my Mac OS 10.5.8 and I get the error message "You cannot open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture" Help!

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • I have an existing ipod that I use with my mac. I am trying to connect an additional ipod to it but when I try and register, it just brings up the existing info. I don't want to lose the original info or library - just create new for this device. Pls help

    I have an existing ipod that I use with my mac. I am trying to connect an additional ipod to it but when I try and register, it just brings up the existing info. I don't want to lose the original info or library - just create new for this device. Pls help...

    We are starting from the beginning like its a new ipod starts out asking language, country,location services,choose a network,and when we get to "setup ipod touch  " there are 3 options 1..setup as new ipod, 2.restore from ipod backup 3 restore from itunes backup and when we hit setup as new ipod and click next it comes up with sign in with apple id or create a free apple id  we clicked create a free apple id....then comes up with bday,1st name last name, use your current email address, get a free icloud email address or change email address and THIS is where we have problems....if we hit change email address it means that sis's stuff goes under his name and moves all her stuff to this older ipod which the brother does not want. sorry this is so long but its the only way I knew to do it.

  • ATV 2 stopped working. The connections are good, the remote is paired and working, but the menus come and go off sporadically, and the white light just blinks continuously.

    I bought ATV 2 about two weeks ago.  The setup was easy and I set up my Home Sharing, screensavers, and I was watching Netflix within about 20 minutes.  I had a good week of no trouble and enjoyed the device immensely.  I updated the software when prompted and continued to watch movies and play music.  Then something happened: in the middle of viewing, ATV 2 stopped working, the screen went blank, and the little white light started blinking slowly.  When this happens, the ATV manual "troubleshooting" section merely says, "Apple TV is having problems."  ***?  Strangely, it would come on and act fine for a few moments as if nothing happended (for only a minute or two), then click off again.
    I attempted to RESET the device by using the Down/Menu combo -- nothing -- the white light blinks really fast but still no picture on the TV (just the Apple logo); I unplugged it and plugged it back in -- no fix; then, I RESTORED the device and had to re-enter Apple and Netflix account info, passwords, set up shared photo folders, etc.  Afterwards, it worked.  I watched movies right where I left off and went on with life until a few days ago when I wanted to finish a movie... The movie was going fine - no problems at all - until ATV 2 stopped working again! 
    So, the remote works [it is paired and sends commands as it should], the HDMI connection to HDTV is fine, the stereo receiver connection is fine (for audio, using an optical cable).  But the only thing on the TV is the Apple logo.  Resetting ATV 2 doesn't work; and I could restore it again but that seems like a HUGE waste of time, and something I am not prepared to do each time I want to use the device. 
    What could be the cause?  Wireless interferrence, software/update flaws, need for firmware, or malfunctioning hardware?   ATV 2 is a $100 paperweight until I get answers.

    After some sleuthing online, reading a compilation of Q&As here, and visiting the local Apple Store, I think the problem and "solution" may be found in HOW my ATV2 is connected to my stereo.  For some reason that I have not figured out, when the RECEIVER either switches from one setting to another, it somehow disrupts the ATV.
    The ORDER of how you turn ATV on and off is key.  If you start with everything OFF (ATV, HDTV, stereo Receiver), then turn on the receiver, then turn the HDTV, put the TV to the input setting that is connected to the ATV, THEN turn on the ATV by hitting the Play button on the remote. 
    Note: The ATV light may come on once the HDTV is turned on and put to the correct setting, but you will not see a picture on your TV yet.
    You should be up and running on ATV (without having to reset, unplug or restore). Apparently, I was using my universal remote that essentially turned everything (HDTV, Onkyo Receiver and, by extension, the ATV) on at the same time, confusing ATV and causing that evil blinking white light.  The ATV connection was lost.
    When you are done with ATV, you must put ATV to sleep FIRST... each time. The command is on the main menu, to the far right, at the bottom [Sleep Now].  Once you press Sleep Now, the ATV will go off.  THEN you can turn your receiver/HDTV off (or to whatever other setting you want for watching regular tv, music, etc.).  I was simply switching my HDTV and Receiver 'away' from ATV when I was done... But I would return to a blinking light and no ATV.  The solution above is a work-around that seems to do the trick.
    The thing Apple needs to fix is to make the "Sleep Now" command a simple process on the remote so you don't have to back out of everything you were watching to get to the main menu for the Sleep Now command. Or in the next update Apple merely needs to improve ATV2 so it can work no matter what order you open or close it on a HDTV/Stereo. 
    Note: Other people have suggested that you just hit the select or Menu button to put ATV to sleep, but that did NOT work for me.
    I figured this out through trial and error so I hope it works for you too.

  • My firefox keeps timing out when i am using it and my internet provider, Comcast , keeps dropping my connection. what is causing the problem, comcast or firefox taking to long to open?

    when trying to run my firefox, the pages take too long to open, loading, and then my internet connection is lost. sometimes i can get on and for example, i was deleteing emails and after less than 10 mins my connection is lost. so i run comcast desk diagnosis and it refinds my connection but when i try to open any page with my firefox it takes too long and times out.

    Insanity that it takes this kind of work to get a browser to function correctly. Is Mozzilla TRYING to ruin Firefox. Every update it's slower and more buggy. Since the last update, it freezes so much, it's basically a worthless browser.
    Google the problem, people are jumping to chrome for the exact issue.

    Recently I was working on my home Network and lost myPassword for my Home wireless connection. After many attempts, I remembered thepassword and was able to get in. Now the MacBook Pro only works at home on aHard wire connection. I have an additional 9 devices on the same network, allare functioning properly. The Air connection works fine at any other Networksout side the Home connection. I did a PRAM reset, deleted the Network profileand rebuilt in System Preferences. Still unable to connect wireless on Homenetwork. Any Ideas?

    I seem to have fixed it by putting <div  class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

  • Ipad is disabled connect to itunes but i connected it and there was a popup saying itunes cannot connect to ipad because it is locked with a passcode. You mus enter the passcode on the ipad before it can be used with itunes. but i couldnt enter my passwor

    my ipad is disabled and it said ipad is disabled connect to itunes but i connected it and was restoreing it and then there was a popup and it said itunes cannot connect to ipad because it is locked with a passcode. and you must enter the passcode on the ipad before it can be used with itunes. But i couldnt even write the passcode on my ipad cause it was disabled. What should i do now????

    Follow the instructions on this page to reset your iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
