Cannot install Firefox, what info will administrator window accept, have tried all
I am trying to install Firefox on Windows 7. The Administrator window comes up and rejects anything I input. Then nothing happens, no download process.
Try resetting the password:
Mac OS X 10.6 Help- If you forget your administrator password
For Lion:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu. Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.

Mac and iPad connect to wifi, iPhone will not. I have tried all resets besides the "erase all contents and settings" and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

I would honestly try this. It is how to restore your phone and see if it works. -
As soon as i type a letter in fire fox it stops working, i get (FIRE FOX IS NOT RESPONDING, WINDOWS IS NOT INTERACTING WITH FIREFOX) I have tried all i can and now give up. Ive cleared all cookies and catch, etc i have gone in to help and tried out instructions for the not responding but no luck. I have windows 7 and have not had problems in the past with firefox. I have uninstalled and reinstalled still no luck.
go to '''TOOLS '''then '''OPTIONS''' then '''ADVANCED''' then '''NETWORK tab''' then '''SETTINGS tab''' and select the options '''NO PROXY''' click '''OK''' and '''OK '''again in the next screen. With that you have disabled the proxy settings.
''if you like to not disable the proxy settings choose'' : '''Auto-detect proxy settings for this network''' (it is in the same session)
thank you

my phone is stuck at the apple logo, it will not reboot, have tried all stanadard reboot techniques, but no luck, even left the phone battery die, still no luck.
Hi kjsav7,
When you state you have tried all the standard reboot techniques, does that include recovery mode?
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If your device gets stuck during startup
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Take care,

Hi I am having problems with the latest update (11.1.4), I have unistalled and reinstalled that many times now I have lost count, I have also tried all the fixes that other users have suggested with no joy.
What is this msvcr80.dll file that is missing, also after unistalling and rebooting computer I get another message that states icudt49.dll is missing.
Please helpOh, and I checked here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939 and you are correct!
I do have an iPhone 3G not a 3GS.
So does that mean that I cannot get any later software than iOS 4.2? -
It then goes on to say, check path and try again. I created the file path and soon realized that it changes the name of the path each time.
Example path:
c:\\Users\Karen\AppData\Local\Temp\7zSCAD.tmp\setup.exe
Running windows 7, 64 bit and was trying to download the new Firefox 7. When that didn't work I tried an older version and received the same message.
I loved Firefox on my old computer which was running XP. I hope that there is a fix for this.
Thanks!
KarenThanks for the help...worked like a charm! :D

I removed Version 4. I had trouble getting Norton on the toolbar and it will not support the Yahoo toolbar with many of my bookmarks. I down graded and now it open a new window with each website...I am not use to this clutter since I quit using IE in favor of you
Right click any tab and choose "Bookmark All Tabs".

I can't access firefox, nor can I uninstall it, I have tried all you suggestions, nothing works
My computer crashed. It would turn on, but every time I tried to download Windows update or run a scan, it would start, then crash.
I restored the computer to a previous date setting, still crashed, as above.
I left it a few days, then opened it with internet turned off. It stayed on. I played a few hands of Hearts and Spider Solitaire, it stayed on.
After a while I tried turning on internet, it stayed on.
I downloaded Windows update, it stayed on. I ran a scan, it stayed on. I tried to use Firefox, but it wouldn't open, I opened Chrome, it worked, I connected to the internet.
I thought I would try uninstalling Firefox, nothing happens. I checked your website and tried to do it manually. Helper would not open. I tried to run helper, it displayed a message "Error. Can't initialize plug-ins directory. Please try later".
I did try later, same result. I scanned the Firefox program files with McAfee. it found no problems.
I am running Windows XP2000, home edition. Everything else works fine now, except Firefox. How can I uninstall it? Can I use McAfee to shred it?If you have xp with sp2 then go for a clean re-install, this means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
Please report back to see if this helped you!

"Firefox is already running but not responding" - have tried all the usual solutions.
The message I'm getting is the standard: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding." I'm using a PC with Windows 7.
I've tried:
- Opening task manager and manually ending the process. This didn't work because the process is not listed in applications, processes, or services.
- Deleting the parent/lock file. This didn't work because the file is not in any of the firefox folders. I've checked APPDATA/Local/Firefox as well as APPDATA/Roaming/Firefox, and the original install folder just to be thorough. It's not a hidden file either - I have those set to display.
- Creating a new profile and importing settings from the old one. I can't import settings because the old profile is still running.
- Restarting before and after each of these potential solutions, including restarting in safe mode, shutting off the computer and waiting a bit before restarting, etc.
All I really want back are my bookmarks, which I've spent quite a while creating. Unfortunately, there is no file I can find for the default profile that has the bookmarks stored. When I created a new profile, a folder appeared with its name in the APPDATA/Roaming/Firefox folder, with all of the bookmarks, etc. There is no such folder for the default profile though - which is the one I want. I've even tried switching to Chrome and importing bookmarks, but that doesn't work because the bookmarks can't be imported while Firefox is still running.Does a new profile work?<br />
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
If there is no profile present then you also get that error about "Firefox is already running but not responding"
If you uninstalled Firefox at any time in the past and removed your personal data or deleted that profile folder yourself then you no longer have a profile to start with or restore files from.

Cannot install Firefox. When I click on the link on the Mozilla website, it goes to an "error loading page". My network connection and Internet Explorer are fuctioning normally.
== computer was recently wiped clean and am now reinstalling all previous software and applications ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)None of the stuff in " http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite " helps. I have tried and tried and I have even wipe the computer clean still didn't help. I got the same problem as he/she has got in the first posted. Can add some web pages but not all the web pages I want.. I should have never updated to 3.6.13... That's when it all started for me, from that version..... Now Version 3.6.14 is out, I was hoping the version 3.6.14 might would fix the problem wrong again....
Funny thing is i can not even Bookmark Firefox.com!!!!!...lol
So any ideas on how to fix it other than the link giving would help.

Cannot install HP LaserJet Pro M225Dw on Windows 8.1 64-bit
I bought an M225Dw and tried to install it on my laptop running Windows 8.1 with all current updates. Halfway through, the intallation program said it couldn't continue, restart, try again, call tech support if it happens again. I restarted, geot the same result. Tech support spent several hours taking over my computer and got the exact same result. Said my Windows operating system was corrupted. Fair enough, it could happen. So I dragged out a tower computer I use only for running flight simulators. This computer is NOT usually connected to the Internet. This computer is pristine. No garbage of any kind on it. Guess what? Exact same result. I can not believe that both my computers, which work perfectly in every respect, have corrupted operating systems. BTW, I plugged the USB cable from the printer into my MacBook and the Mac said "Oh, I see you have a new printer. Would you like to install a driver for it?" I clicked OK, and two minutes later the printer was up and running with no stupid questions, no manipulation of registry entries, and no claims of corrupted operating systems. Do HP printers not work with Windows 8.1 or has Microsoft finally reached the point where Windows is so complex and convoluted that it has become completely useless? Should I take my HP printer back to the store and get a Brother or a Canon, or do I have to go to Best Buy, and buy a new computer and a new printer on condition that the Geek Squad can get them both to talk to each other? Final note: HP tech support said I would get a phone call at 11 a.m. this morning to follow up. It's now 1:40 p.m. and guess what? No phone call. Can HP and/or Microsoft survive or are they just dying companies that used to be great? Well, HP used to be great, anyway. Not so sure about Microsoft. Thanks for listening to my rant. Any thoughts on how to get one of my computers to talk to the printer?
I did get a call from HP tech support, thank you. This time, the tech knew exactly what the problem was before he even looked at my computer. In a nutshell, there are conflicts between the HP driver installation program and all the junk programs that start up automatically with Windows. The fix is to run msfconfig, go to the Services tab, and check the box to "hide Microsoft services". This leaves all the other services that start up automatically, most of which are probably junk and shouldn't even be there. Click the button to Disable all the remaining services. Any antivirus scanners will continue to remain enabled even after clicking on Disable. Then go to the CDROM that comes with the printer and open the Utilities folder. Run the program called Scrubber.exe to remove all traces of previous failed attempts to install the printer. Restart the computer. Go back to the CDROM and find Setup.exe, which is hiding at the bottom of the list (I failed to see it the first time I went looking for it). Click on that to install the printer. Easy when you know how. Thanks again to those who stepped in to help me when the first attempts at installation failed so miserably. I will close with a refrain that went through my mind as the HP tech and I waited over an hour for this process to run its course (installation of the same printer on my MacBook took all of two minutes). With apologies to Lerner and Loewe, "Why can't a Windows be more like a Mac?".

Cannot open firefox in more than one window
I cannot open Firefox in more than one window. I deleted and reinstalled the latest version but this did not help. I was able to open Firefox in multiple windows prior to installing an update of Avast. Don't think it should have an effect on Firefox.
Downloaded Seamonkey and have no problem with multiple windows.Anyone?
