Do I need to stay online while Fire Fox is updating?

A Fire Fox update box appeared stating: "Fire Fox has new updates for your computer". Each time I clicked OK for the updates, I found that the process would take several hours and once done there was no notification of completion. Thus, my question: Do I need to stay online while Fire Fox is updating?

What you can do instead of the partition is create a new user for your son on (YOUR partition).
Transfer all purchases from the device to iTunes Back up the iPad , restore the device , synchronize the device.
Erase your son's partition after you are sure everything works .

A bug in Fire Fox's update that is conflicting with PLESK site builder

I asked AISO.net support for help because when I opened the PLESK Site-builder to edit my website, all I saw was HTML code instead of the WYSIWYG editor. They replied: Try using Internet Explorer as the site builder is optimized for that browser. It appears there is a bug in Fire Fox's update that is conflicting with the site builder program.
Until fire fox addresses this issue you will need to use another browser.
I want to use FIREFOX! Thanks, Janet

Yes, there is a solution for this, made by Apple. Unfortunately nobody here is allowed to tell you what that is. Rules.
But you can find the solution here:

How do I stop Fire Fox auto Updates?

all of the boxes are properly checked and it still updates. I want total control of what goes on my computer. I hate auto updates, I want to tell it when and if to update. I am about to uninstall Fire Fox and change if I can't solve this. How do I stop you from over riding my settings of NEVER check , never update ? I do not let any one or any program change anything on my computer NO MATTER WHAT! SO what gives, how do I stop you from doing it?

I reformatted harddrive. I need a usable version of Fire fox to run on Mac PPC running 10.2.8. I've had no luck with ur website or cnet. I sort of need step by step instructions. I'm not a programmer type.

I thought I would be able to download an older version of Firefox that would run on my Mac PPC that is runing system 10.2.8

Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever release for Mac OSX 10.3.9 and earlier versions. 
Get it here:

How do I remove Fire Fox as the default setting on my eMac computer. I am unable to open some files I need to open with Fire Fox.

I receive a newsletter that has information I need. Since I chose Fire Fox as my default setting, I haven't been able to open it. It was so easy making Fire Fox my default, but not so easy to remove it.

You should at least install the latest Firefox 3.6.28 version for your Mac OS X 10.4 PPC computer instead of the current Firefox 3.6.18 version.

Fire fox update crash

Fire fox just updated automatically and now it won"t connect to the internet. This is very frustrating as i need it for work. Fix this problem now

If you are using Windows the usual reason for not being able to connect after new Firefox update or install on Windows (not as much of a issue on Mac or Linux) is due to whatever Firewall you are using is blocking the new firefox .exe yet it may still be allowing the previous .exe version.

HP Photosmart Wireless B109n-z will come online but not STAY online!

In a nutshell: I own a HP B109n-z. It will connect on power on as it should to my main wireless access point and print from all computers on the network. After a while the printer will go offline. Web-interface cannot be reached, the printer will not respond to ping.
To remedy the situation, turn of printer, turn on again on front switch. Printer will connect to wireless AP and print in less than a minute. The printer is currently located 30 miles away from me, so hitting on/off is not an option for me. This printer needs to just STAY online as long as access point and power is supplied. I am - as I write this - connected via remote desktop to my Win 2k8 server, and I get no response when I ping the printer - however everything else on the network works, and I actually see the printer in my routers wireless section. It is just if the printer is in some kind of hibernation.
I've read several topics about the HP Photosmart Wireless B109n-z that goes offline and it seems to be a general problem with this printer. It also seems to be a generel answer from HP forum operators to ask what router the user is using - and then stating that that particular brand of router is flawed and the newest firmware should be installed, then try again. That move seems like a stall to me.
Please - dearest HP support - do NOT give me that answer. EVERYTHING else in my network setup works, and works ALL the time, every single day. The problem, whatever it is, clearly resides in the printer itself. All my automated daily network operations with regards to back-up and file distribution and automatic emails, plus remote operations have all been running every day for more than a year without needing maintenance. The frustration with this issue is immense.
Please help me get this solved once and for all. Help me make the printer stay online until I turn it off.
My setup:
1: Main ADSL-modem/router/wireless accesspoint is some kind of Sagem - and I can't do anything about that, it is provided by the only ISP that operates in the area (I live in Denmark). Don't know what box it is - but it uses 'Fast3504_5AD038' firmware. Broadcasts SSID, using 802.11 b + g and WPA/WPA2, running DHCP
HP B109n-z have static IP outside of DHCP range, and is placed ind same subnet as the rest of the network.
2: Attached hardware to entire network:
One Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Dell machine cabled to the Sagem box. Running 24/7/365, controlled externally using MSTSC remote desktop every day.
One Linksys WRT54GL router cabled to the Sagem box, running DD-WRT firmware, used as a secondary wireless acces point with its own SSID. Provides wireless internet acces 24/7/364 for laptops and smartphones in the house.
Three HD digital TVs cabled to the Sagem box, receiving IP-tv signal (individually, not same channel/signal)
2 phonelines (sharing number)
The WRT54GL have a cabled connection to a Windows 7 X64 workstation, providing internet access via cabled onboard LAN from workstation and cabled connection from WRT54GL to Sagem box. Used every day, most of the day.
3 laptops connects wireless to the WRT54GL access point, which in turn - as said before - is cabled to the primary Sagem box, used every day, most of the day
HP B109n-z connects to the wireless access point given by the Sagem box without problems.
All three TVs are connected with CAT-6 cable, all other cables are CAT-5
Best regards,
A danish person

OK, I'll give it a shot, but ISP-supplied routers can cause lots of problems - search these forums and you will see that.
Let's set a static IP at the printer, which includes directing the printer to the DNS server, which is sometimes helpful:
Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). You can find the DHCP range of the router using its internal settings page or in its manual. Use the CD that came with your router or type the router's IP address (ends in .1) into a browser.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.
If this does not work, you can add a "standard" router (Linksys, Netgear or such) to your ISP router and turn off the ISP's wireless. I have seen this work well many times. You can turn the ISP's DHCP off as well, but you may have to open a port to the "standard" router. Attach all devices to the "standard" router.

Printers will not stay online throughout the day in Windows 8.1

I am a systems administrator at a Law Firm and our managing partners request was to upgrade all of our attorneys to a device that will allow them to have a laptop and a tablet all-in-one. So I recommended Windows 8 ultrabooks. We ended up getting
a mix of HP Elitebook Revolve and Sony Vaio Duo 13 ultrabooks, both with docking stations so that attorneys can continue using there desktop mouse and keyboard and monitors while at work, but can also undock and use there ultrabooks remotely.
Everything is working fine except for printing for some reason through out the day printers will go offline for no apparent reason. We've got a billing program called Equitrac on our machines that will auto bill our clients when we print documents
for that them, I figured that there was an issue with that so I uninstalled Equitrac and the problem still happened. Group Policy deploys our printers so I disabled this policy and I've uninstalled the printer drivers and re-installed them to see if
that works and printers will stay online for a short period of time and then they'll go offline again.
For a temporary fix right now I'm having to restart the Print Spooler service and the printers will come back online again. This works for a few hours and then printers will go offline again. I witnessed one of the ultrabooks showing the printers
being online up until the point when the attorney pressed print and then all of them immediately went offline. This isn't an occurrence on just 1 machine but is happening on probably 50% to 60% of them.
Our support staff use the same printers on Windows 7 and they never go offline. Is there something else that I can check on these Windows 8.1 Ultrabooks or is there a bug that still needs to be fixed from Microsoft?

Hi,
Based on my search, I found a KB that relate with Printer offline, you can refer to its solution for test.
This problem occurs if the computer has the following registry value configured when you set the printer to the Offline status:
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\<print queue name>
Value: PrinterOnLine
Data: 0
However, this value is not deleted by the Localspl.dll file when the print queue is deleted. Therefore, when you add a print queue that has the same name as the old print queue, the new printer queue inherits the Offline status of the deleted print queue.
To resolve this issue, right-click the new print queue in the Printers and Faxes tool, and then clear the Use Printer Offline setting. This resets the registry key to the correct value. Alternatively, you can delete the registry key that is mentioned in
the "Cause" section after you delete a print queue but before you add a new print queue of the same name.
If problem persists, please refer to the link below about How to Fix “Printer Offline” Error in Windows.

Skype For iOS 7 Is Not Staying Online (Connected) ...

As of today, Skype does not stay online/connected and able to receive calls after being minimized for a given period of time.
PROBLEM: I have updated to the latest version of iOS 7 and have the latest version of Skype for my iPhone 4S. While I notices a few improvements I have an even bigger issue now. Skype will not stay onine/connected to the internet and standing by to take phone calls.
It does not take long after minimizing Skype that it goes into some dormant state that either iOS is putting Skype into or Skype itself is simply not working as it should and keeping itself awake. It is not immediate after minimizing Skype but I can say it does not take longer than 10 minutes.
If you have the SOLUTION please post, otherwise keep the restart and reinstall suggestions out.

Registered here to confirm the same or a similar issue here too, as it seems they could be related. If I lock my phone, but allow Skype to continue running in the background, it seems to work perfectly fine for a while. My contacts see me as online, and I can still receive text and incoming call notifications.
However, if I leave it for a while, my contacts see me as offline. From what I understand, if they attempt to call me or message me while I'm appearing in this offline state, they will still be sent to my iPhone and I'll receive them as normal - however it's impossible for my contacts to be able to tell if I'm really there or not since I'm appearing offline.
I'm not sure how long it takes from locking the phone to this issue occuring, but it seems to be perhaps around an hour to two hours. I would just wake up my phone every now and then, but since my contacts are in different time zones and I may be asleep when they wish to call, I can't always simply repeatedly wake the phone up.
If I do manually switch back to the Skype app while it is in this offline state, I notice it will either refresh my contacts list when the app is opened, or it will display the "Signing In" screen briefly before returning to my contacts list - as if the app is going offline or being halted in the background, and when I manually switch back to it, it's being forced to "wake up" again.
Now, my settings already have me set to "Go Offline: Never". I've deleted and reinstalled Skype already. The phone has been reset several times. It looks like something that may need to be looked into further by the Skype team as it seems to be a potential issue - the "Go Offline: Never" preference isn't working as expected under iOS 7.
My device is an iPhone 4S (16GB) running iOS 7.0.3. It's almost always connected to WiFi and Background App Refresh is enabled (whether the last one has any relevance is beyond me, but some app devs have had issues with it so I figured it was worth mentioning in case).

When I open fire fox and open uther lings I'm geting masage that fire fox is not resonding and some time loads after a while and some time not.

When I open fire fox and start opening tabs it tell me that fire fox is not responding and after a while some time will open and some time not. What can I do to correct this. If I need to reload the fire fox let me know how I don't wont to loose all my book marks. Thank you for your help.

Try to update to Firefox 24 (just been released).
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

ls -l /var/run/lighttpd/
And how are you spawning the php instances? I don't see that in the daemons array anywhere.
EDIT: It looks like the info in that page is no longer using pre-spawned instances, but lighttpd adaptive-spawn. The documentation has been made inconsistent it looks like.
You will note that with pre-spawned information, the config looks different[1].
You need to do one or the other, not both (eg. choose adaptive-spawn, or pre-spawn..not both).

If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
You can use one of these to start Firefox in Safe mode:
*On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
*On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
If it works in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

sigh...this is quite idiotic, but I have found a solution. It was quite simple, really, and yet quite idiotic. I share it for all those reading so that, if you know of anyone else that did what i did, you can easily be the "hero" in their lives.
After a continued search via youtube or what have you for any possible solutions, I kept coming back to the fact that I was told by my computer that I didn't have "permission" to do the file deletion. I stumbled upon a youtube video that talked about "unlocking", "locking", certain files and what not.
Long story short, the reason why I couldn't do anything to the files that were on my desktop was due to my "locking" the desktop folder. I must have done this a while back not knowing what I was doing nor the ramifications of clicking a simple box.
I undid this by:
Opening Up Finder
then, going to MacHD --> Users --> My Account Folder
clicking on Desktop Folder, I "cmd+I"
I then, unclicked the "locked" option
I went down to the cog/settings and selected "Apply to enclosed items"
resulting then in having all my files on my desktop free accessiblity and delete-ability....
oi...at least I now know what "locking" a folder (even the desktop folder) can do to other files held within it

My home page changed and now I can not print . i need to do this now I have been trying to print since last week fire fox is block

I can not print from my emails, since my email page changed fire fox is blocking them Please call and fix this I have not been able to print since last week i have business paper work I need to finish I can not spend any more time on this I have also been on the phone yahoo
edit: removed personal information for your protection. please note that we cannot offer support via telephone, so please continue in the forum. thanks for your understanding! (philipp)

Hi Vicki, you also mentioned your home page changing. If Yahoo is your home page, this is normal as they keep updating things.
In some cases, if your home page is a specific server address instead of a more general address like
* http://www.yahoo.com/
* http://my.yahoo.com/
* http://mail.yahoo.com/
then Yahoo will need to redirect your browser to a different server.
Users have reported on this forum that this can lead to email problems like broken features as well as display glitches.
To make sure you get the server that Yahoo intends for you, please go to one of the above Yahoo addresses and follow the link to your email. Hopefully this will resolve any problem with the redirection and you can save the new address in place of the old one (home page, bookmark, etc.).
Also, when you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site. If Yahoo support did not already recommend this, here are the steps:
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Do I need to stay online while Fire Fox is updating?
