If you open Windows' task manager (press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC in your keyboard), under the "Processes" tab, you can terminate "firefox.exe".
If it's running, of course.

Trying to update adobe flash player and it keeps saying "Quit Firefox" but I did.
trying to update adobe flash player on firefox and it keeps saying "Quit Firefox" but I did.
Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Do you have a MAC or Windows ?
For Windows, you can launch Windows Task Manager and go to Processes Tab, kill "Firefox.exe"
For MAC, you can launch Activity Monitor and Force Quit "Firefox"
Thanks,

I have just downloaded firefox 3.6.11 and adobe flashplayer update and adobe reader update. Now I cannot get firefox to open. I have tried removing Firefox but when I try to do that it says that I need to close firefox - but of course it is not open. I have waited a long time but nothing has happened so I am getting desperate Thanks -- Jerry
Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

When i try to update to firefox 3.6 it says close firefox but its not running
when i try to update my firefox to firefox 3.6 it will get to installation wizard and it will say close firefox but it isint running and im getting tired of it i need help
If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest 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 program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

Re-installed Kaspersky when reactivated account and now my Firefox will not open not even a message to allow or anything. Went to Mozilla to reload went ok till the install standard tellsme to close Firefox but it is not open, remember I could not open it ths the re-install and does not show in task manager or anything. Might be Ok if a valid message but nothing that makes sense.
hello, this crash is related to your graphics hardware & a recent windows update. please start firefox in safemode (by pressing the shift-key while it is launching) & go to ''firefox > options > advanced > general'' & disable hardware acceleration.
for some background on that issue you can also refer to [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=812683 bug #812683] -
After updating iTunes to 11.0.1.12 and updating Apple TV to 5.1.1 my Apple TV is no longer picking up my photo library. It just keeps saying "loading library" but never brings the pictures up. It also tells me that home sharing isn't on even though it is and then I have to turn it off and on on the PC so the Apple TV even recognizes the photo library. These issues didn't happen with previous versions. Any ideas?
Update on my previous comment. I have solved my issue. Issue was with Windows 7 firewall not operating correctly. I was unable to add itunes to the 'Allow programs to communicate through windows firewall'. Found the following page useful http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/windows-fire wall-cant-change-some-of-your-settings/514d78fb-39e9-47b1-b561-bc49cbdad904
Followed the instructions to the foot of the page, restarted PC, normal service resumed on windows firewall, added itunes to list to communicate through firewall. restarted itunes, restarted appletv, success!!!
Hope this may help somone else. -
My iPod Touch 3rd Generation won't connect to iTunes. It keeps saying MobileDeviceService has encountered a problem and needs to close.How can I get it to work?
My iPod was working fine and then my oldest son put in a flash drive to download some music and now my iPod will not connect to iTunes.
Doublechecking something. Are you still back at SP2 for your XP? Or do you have SP3 in place? -
I want to uninstall and then reinstall Firefox but I can't uninstall it. Nothing happens when I click remove in program access and defaults and the helper.exe file in the firefox uninstall dir doesn't do anything either.
"program access and defaults" is not the place to remove programs in Windows. You need to go to the control panel and click on Add and Remove programs. For instructions on how to uninstall Firefox, see [[Uninstalling Firefox]]

I down loaded the update for 4 and when I get to the end where is you click finish, it tells me to close firefox, but I do not have it open. Now I can not get in to Firefox at all. PLEASE Help.
You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
You should still have your profile folder, so when you install 3. you will get your bookmarks and other user data back.
There is a third party version of Firefox that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox -
I choose to 'save and quit' when I close Firefox, but recently my pages disappear on new session for few times. After I reopen firefox, it's only my default homepage left, all my other pages that I previously save before closing firefox are all gone. It has happened for a few times with this new version, which I do not have this kind of problem before with other version. I wonder is this version unstable? Or is there any other way to deal with it? Thanks!
You should update to Firefox 3.6.13. See Help > Check for Updates.
If you use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

I'm trying to share videos on you tube to google but it keeps saying invalid address, but I can share to Facebook any answers? I've spoken to support but They are baffled.
Suggestions:
Accessing Youtube in Safari:
1. In the video screen, you will see 4 icons (thumbs up thumbs down plus sign and connected dots) choose connected dots and from there you will seeoptions where you'd like to share your video.
2. In the address box (top of browser) tap twice to select all and tap again to copy the URL. Now you can paste this as link to any social media site.
Other option:
1. You can download youtube app from app store and use the app and follow step 1 above. -
i have just got an ipad mini 2 and i am trying to back it up however it gets to step 4 then keeps saying syncing ipad but now wont change, what shall i do?
Hi Gavinchick,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Start with these tips if your iPad mini is stuck on "syncing" when you try to back it up:
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Plug the device directly into a high-power USB 2.0 port on the computer. If possible, use a USB port on the back of the computer.
Avoid plugging the device into a keyboard, display, or standalone hub. The USB ports on these accessories may be low-power or only offer USB 1.x connections.
If you are using an accessory, remove the accessory and connect the device to the computer using only the Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cable.
If you have access to additional Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cables, try testing with another if the first one doesn't work.
Restart your computer and device. To restart your device:
Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
Disconnect all USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then reconnect the iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect other USB devices, testing after each connection.
You can find these steps and more information here:

My new Macbook won't connect to my wifi network - it keeps saying "password incorrect" - but I've tested it on my phone and works fine, I've checked the password I enter is correct digit for digit - what could the problem be?
you need to open the keychain access located in your utilities folder in the applications and once in the keychain on the left side click on the words system at the top and in the lower section click on passwords
next look in the striped area for any passwords that say airport network password next to kind and highlight those and hit delete on the keyboard to remove them from the keychain.
once you remove all of these airport passwords, quit the keychain
turn wifi off then back on, select your wifi network from the list and enter the password telling it to save to keychain this should resolve your issue! -

Why does it just keep saying "Downloading Firefox" for hours?
I am downloading from Explorer. It just keeps saying Downloading Firefox after I double click on the installer. It goes on for hours and hours. It is ironic that it tells me that "you're about to enjoy the very latest in speed, flexibility and security so you're always in control." Please help.

That's a hard question to answer, since it could be a particular download server at fault, or maybe your security software.
If you are downloading the "stub" installer from the main page, could you try getting the "full" installer from this page (scroll down to your preferred language):
https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

Thank you VERY much!! I was pulling my hair out trying different things!
