Could a recent firefox update affect my firewire connection to the computer

My computer is really a home recording studio. Yesterday firefox downloaded a new update and since then the firewire connection from the mixing desk to the computer has stopped working. Could firefox somehow be responsible for blocking this?
== yesterday

In response to your question, no a firewire cable is not possible to be blocked by a web browser as firewire's run on there own. e.g stand alone

Recent Firefox Update not Working with YouTube?

About a few days ago, I was going on YouTube to upload a video. For some reason, it gave me a message that says "Invalid Request. Authentication Expired".
Not only that, if I do other things such as liking/disliking a video, or adding a video to my Favorites or another playlist, it says that the feature isn't available.
I've also had a problem trying to reply to other comments in videos. Anytime that I type out my comment and hit the post button, it says something along the lines of "Error, Try again"
Now when it comes to doing other things such as simply watching and searching for videos, I have no problems whatsoever.
I figured it might have something to do with the most recent Firefox update, because I tried using YouTube with other browsers, and it works perfectly fine, and I wasn't having any problems with YouTube before the update.
Any idea if the update might have affected something that's causing all of these issues?

Since the most recent Firefox updates, I am having trouble with certain features on The New York Times website; I can no longer see certain weblog comments, or post comments, etc.

This question is admittedly a little complicated. The New York Times website has a number of weblog pages which include brief stories followed by space for readers to leave comments. You probably need to be a Times On-Line subscriber to really see what I'm talking about, but some examples would be this City Room blog: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/02/bloomberg-cancels-radio-talk-amid-furor-over-aides-resignation/ or this Arts Beat blog: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/01/theater-talkback-remembering-jerry-leiber-a-reluctant-pioneer-of-the-jukebox-musical/
Since the most recent Firefox updates, when I view these pages, which traditionally have a number of reader comments at the bottom of the Times' story (or at least a space to leave a comment), I can no longer see the comments. There's simply empty. blank space. I know that the comments are there; if I open Internet Explorer and log on to the same page, the comments are suddenly visible. I don't understand where this problem has come from. I haven't noticed whether I'm missing seeing anything on other websites yet.
I also cannot post comments on other parts of the Times website; while the pages dedicated to story-specific reader comment seem to load correctly and the space to type my comment does appear, I can't actually submit the comment. Repeated pressing of the "submit" icon has no effect. Once again, this works normally in IE.
For the record, in the past week, I have changed my computer's anti-virus software from McAfee to Norton 360. I run Windows XP. If there's any another information I can provide, please advise, as I vastly prefer running Firefox to IE.

"Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message and recent firefox update

"Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message is continuously popping up after the recent firefox update. I have nearly exhausted every possible solution to the problem as seen from the support page for this error message. I know someone who has the same issue on their computer and it also started right after the recent big update. Does the update have anything to do with this reoccurring issue? Is anyone else having this problem? Any other ideas on how to fix it? It would be great to get some help.

From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the
issue may be caused by the clear history settings.
Press the '''<Alt>''' or '''<F10>''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by;
Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
Then '''Privacy'''.
The button next to '''History''', select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
'''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.
This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

Use an earlier version of Firefox, use Safari, or upgrade to a later version of OS X. Any Intel Mac can run Snow Leopard.

Since the most recent Firefox update 3.6.8 my banking institution no longer shows as having a secure encrypted connection, however, my bank assures me all is well with their certificates and that is a problem with the new Firefox browser update, can you give me some idea why it is doing this?

Hello Anne.
Can you please try it in a new (temporary) Firefox profile and see if the issue is still present? See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles this article] to know how to create a new Firefox profile. Please report back the results.

Since the most recent Firefox update Flash (v.10.3) no longer works on some sites

I had problems with the Flash v.11.whatever recent upgrade so uninstalled it and installed v.10.3etc. It worked fine for all sites until the most recent Firefox update a few days ago (27th August, 2012?). Now Flash will not work on some sites e.g. UK's Channel 4 On Demand service. Other browsers work fine on same site e.g. Chrome. Can you guys at Mozilla try and get Firefox communicating with Flash again? Thanks.

Since the most recent Firefox update I have been unable to click through links from Windows Live to Firefox, but it works for Internet explorer?? Any explanations?

Firefox is my default browser and since the most recent Firefox update I have been unable to click through links I receive from Windows Live Email to the Firefox browser, but it works if my browser is set to IE9?? I have checked the defaults settings and both are fine, so Any explanations or ideas on how to solve this?

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 2
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 3
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 5
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 6
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

Since recent Firefox update, Google search bar is in foreign language!

Following the recent firefox update, my google searches are directed to google.cz. Unfortunately, I don't speak cz, only .co.uk

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. 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 https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ get the uk version 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
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#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.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

What OS on your Mac?
What iOS on your phone??

Windows performed an automatic update. I am now unable to use Firefox. I receive an error message "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server". Windows IE works, Outlook works. What did Microsoft do to me this time?!!!

Windows performed an automatic update on my PC this morning. Now, Firefox does not work other than in SAFE mode. I get "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server..." I downloaded and reinstalled the latest version of Firefox and get the same error message. IE works. MS Outlook works. What did Windows do to me this time?

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy" if the default "Use the system proxy settings" setting doesn't work.
See "Firefox connection settings":

Education Edge -- Firefox update, 6.0.2, disables all the pull-down menus

We use Education Edge software to manage attendance, grades, etc. at our school. The new Firefox update, 6.0.2, disables all the pull-down menus. They show up, but the fields are all empty. Fix? Is there a way to revert to the previous version which worked fine?

I have this problem on my dual monitor system. I found a solution that works. Click Start, Run, sysdm.cpl
In the resulting System Properties window, click the Advanced tab, then click settings under Performance. You will have one of four radio buttons enabled. Here what I did. I enabled "Adjust for For Best Appearance" and clicked apply. I then unchecked the box "Show Shadow under windows" and clicked apply again. Problem solved.

Why is Firefox "Update" burried so far down in the menu?

Why is Firefox "Update" burried so far down in the menu? I know where it is but others have trouble finding it. Why not bring it out into the light?

''the-edmeister [[#answer-695435|said]]''
<blockquote>
Not every user is going to receive the update on the day it is first released, for a couple of reasons. One is to spread out the load on the updates servers over a few days; not every "ping" that checks for the availability of an update will result in the update being downloaded and installed. Some users may not get the update for a few days, depending upon how often that use Firefox or launch Firefox. ''(Firefox "pings" the update server to see if an update is available as part of the startup routine once a day. For users that keep Firefox open for days at a time and keep their PC running 24/7, they won't get the update until they restart Firefox.)''
The second is when a suspected "issue" is found during the 4 or 5 days prior to the release date, when the "Release Candidate" builds are being tested. In such a case, Mozilla will "throttle" the update server to limit the number of users that get the update. That way far fewer users are inconvenienced with a potentially problematic "build" If it turns out that a "chemspill" build is needed to fix an "issue".
</blockquote>
Yes, at last, a simple (for non techie users) responsible answer, accurate, and.......analyze exactly how the update works in firefox. I love that, simple, clear answers for simple questions. :-)
thank you the-edmeister :-)
