Cant use any search engines bing , google,as soon I type a search Firefox 4 hangs

my firefox4 hangs as soon I try to load an search engines, Bling or google,cant copy URL as all freezes

I just upgraded to FF4 and I also find it hangs when I use any of the search engines. The Task Manager shows Firefox is grabbing more and more memory and is showing the "not responding" message. In Firefox the cursor wheel just spins and spins.
I restarted FF using the "without add-ons" option and everything worked fine!
How do I find out what add-ons I have installed? Presumably one of them is causing a problem.

Why does the message '500 internal server error' appear when I use any search engine?

I am able to type a web address and use the internet successfully but when using ANY search engine I get the '500 internal server error' message. This appears if I type in a word to search '''bold text'''and the result is the error message. I have recently uninstalled rapport and hitman pro. Please help.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
Which security software (firewall) do you have?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Re: after update 4.3.5 i am facing touch sensitivity problem the iphone 4 is acting funnily... corner of the screen is not responding at all i cant use any apps, letters, numbers at the corner of the screen

Recently i have updated my iphone 4 to latest 4.3.5 update using itunes... from the time i have updated... i am facing problems... like touch sensitivity... like cant attend the call at one swipe... cant use any applications at the corner of the screen... some times i touch message icon... it moves to next page... some times in the applications without touching the screen in the app the features get activated... is it the problem with the software update or my iphone is having any problem with screen...
please let me know what should i do...

Do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide, Appendix B:
Restart phone
Reset phone
Restore in iTunes using a backup
Restore as a new iPhone, without using a backup.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf
Also, remove any screen protector.
If none of the above works, there is a hardware problem that needs evaluation by Apple or whoever provides iPhone warranty service in your country.

I uploaded all my apps and now it tells me that i dont have enough space and i cant use any of my apps please help me what should i do

please help me i uplaoded all my apps and now it tell me that i dont have enough space and i cant use any of my apps please help me.

Is the message saying:
Not enough storage
Not enough/low memory?
For the former delete some items from the iPod.
For the latter.double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory.

When I am using the browser for a while and try to use ANY search bar and hit the "search" button it does a whopping NOTHING is there anyway of keeping this from happening?

Whenever I am using Firefox mobile - either regular, beta or aurora and go to search for something like through the Google search page and attempt to search for something the search bar does nothing and hitting the enter button instead doesn't do anything either. Is there a way to keep this from happening?

Hi and thanks to not leaving the firefox user alone.
Cor-el your answer is right as the madperson is and I already knew all these
answer and I said that before I don’t use any antivirus and I always turn off my firewall from the moment I installed my Windows.
I even turn off any automatic update for any of my software and I never let any unknown plugins or any thing like that be install without informing me. And if you know some things like Offline Storage and cookies must be to much more than usual and you have to clear them and delete them and I know so much more
And if you want to know it fixed now. But I don’t know how?
For understanding my problem read and research about Ixplorer.exe virus it is the same problem about the speed but the different is it doesn’t show any process in task manager like Ixplorer.exe virus
Bt I have done some things but still I don’t know that’s why it is fixed or not
First: I searched my system and removed any files have been crated on my system from two days ago since the problem happened.
And then I used to go about the article in this page and did like this:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080910101846AAazxN5
but still I don’t know any thing about the problem.
I can do so many things to fix but I am just curios if that is a virus why it just cut the speed when I am using the browser.
Please if any one found the reason send me your information I like to know it will improve my knowledge however my problem is solved fro now.

Can apple unlock my iphone? i bought iphone in japan and i cant use any sim.

please help me make use of my iphone 4 16gb. i cannot use any simcard, its like i bought an expensive ipod touch.. please help...

No. Apple can not. ONLY the carrier can authorize unlocking. Not all do. All iPhones sold in Japan are permanently locked to Softbank. You can not get it legitimately unlocked.
Sell it and purchase an unlocked phone from a country where they are legitimately sold.

Nokia N8-Cannot use any search engines Google/Bing

Internet connection via 3G and WLAN is fine.
'Go to new web page' option also works if you enter web address direct.
BUT when searching via Google, Bing, BBC or any other search engine no search results come up and phone defaults back to original home page.
Any ideas please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

In browser search for Google Search, when the page loads, choose the Google home page, once open, touch the arrow in bottom right corner of screen and select options>settings>general>home page>set to current page, Google will then open whenever you open the Browser

I cant install any search add-ons for firefox becuase I get this message "This search engine isnt supported by firefox and cant be installed".

Hi
I have downloaded the latest version of Firefox 3.6.13 from the mozilla website, (I definatly dont have firefox 4 beta). When I try to add any new search add-ons such as Bing, Youtube, IMDB I awlays get the same message "This search engine isnt supported by firefox and cant be installed".
I have uninstalled and re-installed firefox same problem persists, I even re-installed my OS as I needed to do it anyway and same problem.

I have found a fix for myself, but i still would like to know what caused the problem.
If i get the error message, all i have to do is go to the address bar and type in random letters, then when i click install, they install and no more error message.
anyone able to explain please?

Cannot use any search engine

No matter what search engine I try to use it will not work. Google and Bing will not even load. It keeps giving me an error message. I have IE too, but I have the same problem. I reset my browser settings in IE and it did not fix the problem. I really need to fix this. I can get yahoo and msn up...but when I type into the search field, I get an error message again. Problem loading page. What gives?

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
How are you searching? And what response are you getting?
It could be that the site you are using has been blocked, it will say so.

Hello spidermains,
Happy to see that I have a friend in that adventure
Look I have a blog entry here:
http://www.happytocode.com/post/Can-I-use-the-new-Apple-USB-Aluminium-keyboard-o n-Windows.aspx
That post describes all the steps I followed to extract the drivers from the dual boot camp CD.
I'm using a PC, only a PC. I do not have any Apple computer (yet).
When I mention boot camp, I mean the boot camp CD on one side and the boot camp utilities on the other side. To be more specific the tool I'm talking about is the kbrmgr.exe
That tool sits in the systray and is handling the special keys of the keyboard.
If you have other questions... let me know,
John.

I cant use any site's search bar

today i went to go on youtube and realized that i cant type in the search bar. i tried another site and it was the same. my norton safe search bar is unusable aswell. i went into internet explorer and had no problems so it has to be firefox.

Is that the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar or a search embedded on web pages?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

HELP! I cant use any of my disc drives...

Being a hardcore PC user for years I eventually saw the light and bought a MAC.
To date I have tested my music apps successfully and installed a few freebies and I even have all my music in iTunes. The problem I am now faced with is with my internal and external disc drives. For some reason whenever I insert a disc internally,it ejects the disc. If I try and insert it into my external Freecom drive it cannot read any discs I attempt to burn to or read. What could be causing this?
It's not been such a happy affair to date and I only hope it gets better. Having parked my iMac for long enough to see my extended support expire, I find myself hunting and searching for clues.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer on this..
Regards, Michael

I cant access icloud, my email address has changed recently and I cant use any emails and passwords or set up a new id, cant get hold of apple support for help, very frustrated!

I can not access icloud, my email address changed a while ago none of my email addresses and passwords work, I have tried to get a new password but that dosent work!, tried to contact apple support, no luck there either! What can I do?

If you are trying to change the iCloud ID ("email address") you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Since updating to 4.3.2 i cant use any Apple related apps, Mail, Safari Itunes even the app store crashes.... please help I rely on my phone!

After installing 4.3.2 Safari, Mail, Itunes and App Store crashes on launch, I have restored and reinstalled but it still isn't working... My phone is like my right arm! I need it working soon!!! Heeeeelp!

When you restored did you restore from a backup or from a fresh install?
Sometimes when you restore from a backup you will get corrupt files that will continue to show up as long as you are restoring from that back up.
