"Creative ZenCast" in Firefox help window?

<img height="456" alt="Zencast on Firefox[/img] align="right" src="http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/08/zencast.png" width="305">I'm using firefox, when I view help --> about for Firefox, I see the usual copyright and then the browser version information, however the last line is about ZenCast. I don't use ZenCast (I'm happy with Juice), and it was only installed in the package of creative software, why should it show up on firefox, are creative trying to track my version somehow using the browser. How do I get rid of this?

? the creativ zen cast tag is not only in the firefox help window, it'ss part of the user agent string and can be seen by every web site you visit. See this very interesting query and test of the eff.org which shows that you can be easily be identified just by your user agent string. http://panopticlick.eff.org/ If you got the Creative ZENcast version number - which is quite rare - your browser leaves a quite individual mark in every logfile of every website you visit.

In the About Firefox Help window what does, "You are currently on the default update channel" mean?

Firefox cannot perform an automatic update when running as a normal user on my system (it just spins when connecting to the update server) so normally when it notifies me of an update I run the application as root, open the About Firefox dialog and select update Firefox. 
I was recently notified of an update to Firefox 7.0.1 (or 7.1 not positive) so I ran Firefox as root and opened the About Firefox box. 
This time instead of showing me "An update is available. Click here to update." it displayed "You are currently on the '''default''' update channel". 
What does this mean? 
 
Thanks, 
Adam.

Mine says "the '''release''' update channel" on Windows. I believe this helps you know whether Firefox is checking for new official releases or new beta test releases. I don't know what '''default''' update channel indicates.
A web search indicates that '''default''' means no updates. To change your update channel, check out this article:

I have problems with gameplay(zuma blitz and bejeweled blitz)in the firefox browser window. the game is latent and play is very jerky..can u please help. i played them in the IE8 browser with no problem

i've tried playing zuma blitz and bejeweled blitz in the firefox browser window and the play is very jerky and slow.

Just had the same thing happen AGAIN. Suddenly - a blank iPlayer Desktop which failed to download new programmes. All previous programmes were still in the repository folder. This time the sequence I outlined previously didn't work.
What eventually got things working this time was to reinstall Adobe Air as part of the BBC iPlayer Desktop installation process - and not separately.
So:
a) Move iPlayer to trash.
b) Find and delete the following folder: Users/Yourname/Library/Preferences/BBCiPlayerDesktop.61DB7A798358575D6A969CCD73DDBBD 723A6DA9D.1
c) Find and delete the following folder:
Users/Yourname/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR/ELS/BBCiPlayerDesktop.61DB7A798358575D6A969CCD73DDB BD723A6DA9D.1
d) Find and delete the following folder:
Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository/cache
e) Find and run: Applications/Utilities/Adobe AIR Uninstaller
f) Empty the Trash. I found that bits and pieces of BBC iPlayer were still running despite having been quit and dumped in the trash - and so it wouldn't allow me to complete this part. Restarted the computer, then empty the trash.
g) Find the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository and rename it repository2
h) Reinstall iPlayer. It will tell you that you have no programmes to view. Quit the programme.
i) Find and delete the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository
j) Find the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository2 and rename it to repository.
k) Relaunch iPlayer
It would be terribly nice if the BBC or Adobe stopped buggering about with this . . .

How can I remove livesearch from the Mozilla Firefox browser window?

Somehow I got the live-search malware embedded into the Firefox browser window. I have tried to remove it using SuperAntiSpyware, Spybot-S7D, and Malwarebyte. Plus ran AVG. Did all four of these several times. But I still have livesearch.
How do I get rid of it? Will uninstalling Firefox and the reinstalling it work. If I uninstall Firefox and reinstalling it, will I loos all my bookmarks?
Please Help!
Thanks,
Naturewoman

Generally speaking, uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox doesn't solve most problems unless you remove all your personal settings, which I definitely do NOT recommend.
These kinds of infiltrations can take some effort to remove. To make it easier, Firefox now had a "reset" feature which preserves your bookmarks but strips away custom settings and extensions, which are the source of most problems.
You could try manually removing the "Printing Helper" extension and resetting your search settings first. If these don't help, then try the reset.
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Then run the Search Reset extension from here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/searchreset/

Any luck?

After starting Creative Cloud just a white Window appears, no Apps or something else Windows 8.1, more uninstallation and re-install didn't bring a solution

After starting Creative Cloud just a white Window appears, no Apps or something else Windows 8.1, more uninstallation and re-install didn't bring a solution. I have had installed Photoshop CC Trial Version, but had to re-boot the system, so I lost the Software. After re-installing the Creative Cloud Desktop appeared just a White window. I tried to delete the file of OOBD in AppData but no reaction. It still appears as a clear window.

Looking for some info, Creative is not much help.

Looking for some info, Creative is not much help. Ok, right now I have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum. It can use the digital inputs to decode either Dolby Digital, DD EX, DTS, and DTS ES to the analog speaker outputs. (Also a 5. setup.)
I recently built a new PC, and would like to replace the sound card, but I use that feature (as well as some others). Seeing how Creative doesn't want to easily display the capabilities of there cards, I would like someone to let me know what card will allow the fallowing in Windows XP, Vista, and theoretically Windows 7.
Hardware decoding of Dolby Digital, DD EX, DTS, and DTS ES and allow a proper 5. playback through analog speakers.
Recording of whatever is playing out of the the speakers. The recording selection is labeled "What U Hear")
The reasons behind me wanting to buy a new card are simply that I would prefer to run it through PCI-Express, and have full compatibility at the release of Windows 7 without any loss of features I need. From what I can tell, if things work in Windows Vista they will work in [email protected]

All I can say to you (someone correct me if I'm wrong) is that Xtremegamer's doesn't decode DD/DTS via hardware with official drivers (altough they're capable of - all X-Fi are capable of decoding). XtremeMusic does the job with official drivers. I don't know the rest of the models. Someone adds [email protected]

Firefox Browser window will not open or start.

Sorry that this is long, but I wanted to make sure you knew as much as you needed to know.
I click on the icon in my Windows taskbar, and the firefox browser window will not open.
This was not the first of my problems. At first, Firefox would open immediately, but soon afterward, it began to slow, and soon, it took around 10-15 seconds for the browser window to start.
Now it won't start at all.
I will admit that I go all addon-happy on Firefox, but these extensions have never been a problem before. Here is the list: 
<pre>ReaditLater
ReloadEvery (this one doesn't work anymore, but I did have it once)
Ookong
PriceBlink
StumbleUpon
SimilarWeb
WOT
XMarks (I didn't use it much)
NoScript (I recently uninstalled that one, but that might have a factor in it. That thing was WAY too powerful!)
CoolIris
CoolPreview
AdHacker
AdBlock
AdBlockPlus
PersonasExpression
AntBar
ABE (I'm not sure if this was an extension, but I know that there was
alot of security-type addons from the Paranoid Kit, which is a
list of addons on the addons webpage.)
</pre>
Oh yeah, one more thing! 
I recently installed a GameVance installation thing. I'm not sure what it did, but could've had a virus in it that surpassed my security. I use Avast, if that's important at all. That thing was hard to uninstall, so I had to go back to the site to get the uninstallation software.
I tried to use the firefox.exe -ProfileManager thing, but it kept crashing, so it was useless.
Please help me fix this. I love Firefox. It's the only browser that allowed you to use the most addons! Plus, ALL MY STUFF IS ON THERE! I'd hate to have to change browsers (and I REFUSE to use Internet Explorer!)

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

As I type a web address in Firefox, Firefox Help opens before I can finish the address. How can I prevent this?

If I use bookmarks the browser works and on occasion I can type an address and have it work, but most times typing anything, even one key stroke; any keystroke, immediately opens Firefox Help.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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).

When opening Firefox many windows open.

When I open firefox, many windows open--up to 70. I stopped this behavior once by having Firefox not open my last session and opening a default window session a few times. I then set Firefox to open the last session again. After a few starts the problem has returned. I very much need Firefox to recover my tabs from previous sessions as it did cleanly in the past.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well. 
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Firefox Crashes Windows 7 - Restart Required!

All of a sudden today I am unable to run firefox's latest version without my entire system crashing! If I attempt to open Firefox, the window comes up for a split second and then everything freezes up and won't respond to anything (mouse movement, cntrl+alt+del). I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox twice now but nothing has helped.
What are the next steps to diagnosing my problem?

The likely problem is use of certain Oracle etc software, the developer Oracle being aware of the problem and working on a fix. Meanwhile there is a registry hack as a potential workaround, or the simpler workaround of downgrading temporarily to firefox 3.6.23.

Actually... I take it back. I TRIED to update to 16.0.2, but I keep getting the error message that Firefox must be closed first. I'm using Chrome to send these messages, and have also closed iTunes, in case that was contributing to the problem. No use... I can't install the upgrade.
