  • Downloaded Firefox yesterday. Every time I open the Firefox browser, it starts in Safe Mode even though I have shut down and restarted my computer several times

    I have Windows OS. I downloaded Firefox yesterday. Every time I open the Firefox browser, it starts in safe mode. I have restarted my machine several times -- Firefox still starts in Safe Mode. My favorites from IE copied to Firefox fine, and Firefox is now my default browser...it just keeps opening in Safe Mode.

    I downloaded the toolbar. When I was done using the computer, I put it to "sleep." The next time I "woke" the computer and went to Firefox, the toolbar was gone. When I downloaded the toolbar again, I got a box in the upper left hand corner of the screen stating Firefox BLOCKED the toolbar, and did I want to allow it. There was NO option to allow always-it's just a one time deal. When I shut down for the day, I expected it to remain, but no-next time I fired up firefox, NO TOOLBAR. I pulled up Inbox dollars again, clicked on download toolbar, got the box stating it's blocking the toolbar, etc, etc, etc. Unless Firefox upgrades daily, or in some cases, several times in one day, I'm going to stick with my description that the toolbar magically disappears EVERY TIME I OPEN
    FIREFOX!!!
    I don't profess to be any type of computer whiz, I'm totally self-taught, and it's not beyond the realm of possibility that I'm doing something wrong. I've been using Firefox for about a week, so I'd welcome any help!

  • I downloaded FireFox yesterday. I created a toolbar. How do I get exact directions to create the full desktop?

    looks like you need addon related help, but this is Firefox support forum, if you want to get assistant about addon, i suggest you to contact the addon expert via irc
    * irc://irc.mozilla.org/addons
    use mibbit, if you dont have IRC client!
    Good Luck!

  • Firefox is refusing to start. It says that my profile is missing, which it appears to be. Yet the way in which one goes about creating a new profile wont' work either. Anybody have a bloody clue what's going on and how to fix it?

    AIR give you classes to detect an on-line or off-line status, it's in 
    this way for the sake of flexibility for instance what happens if you 
    only what to sync  data only on Saturdays at 2 am? If it were done 
    automatically that'll be a problem. And it isn't so complicated.
    You can download the SalesBuilder from AIR examples at www.adobe.com/devnet/air
      it's an application that does everything you have in mind.
    I don't understand your question abou file types.
    An AIR app can communicate with almost every backend served tech 
    CF, .Net, PHP, RoR.
    Sincerely,
    Michael

    Sorry but I don't quiet understand. I thought AIR did the updating 
    automatically? I didn't realise the developer had to program the 
    logic of how the updates take place?  Is it a case in most AIR apps 
    that when online the app updates the server and once every intervel 
    (of however long) the local SQLite DB is synced to the more updated 
    server DB. Then when offline the developer has to sense that the app 
    is offline and store a log manually of the updates without any help 
    from AIR itself, and then update once it comes online again?
    >
    Can AIR link to anything more than a database on the server side 
    apart from webservices, for example .as files or any other file types?
    >
    What type of server is a Flex app stored on, is it a specific Adobe 
    server rather than a Java or .NET server?

    Thank you so much for your last comment!

  • Since I downloaded Firefox 3.6.6 on my Mac, I am now unable to get e-mail address to automatically complete when I enter the first few letters of the address. in English

    Since I downloaded Firefox 3.6.6 on my Mac, I am now unable to get e-mail address to automatically complete when I enter the first few letters of the address. in English
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I downloaded Firefox 3.6.6

    In my case it seems that Firefox just doesn't "see" (or can't find?) the coupon printer application anymore after the FF update. (and yes, my add-ons are enabled - to answer the tech support people's first question).
    For me, the coupon printer doesn't even show up in my Firefox "Add-Ons" list anymore. Is that what people typically see when they're saying the coupon printer "doesn't work" with FF? The coupon printer was visible on the add-ons list before my FF update, and now it's totally Gone! It seems that Firefox just doesn't "see" (or can't find?) the coupon printer application anymore since the FF update.
    When I'm on the coupons.com site and I click "print coupons", it tells me I haven't installed the application. But it Is installed on my computer, I can see it in my folders, and it works on IE, so it's definitely there.
    BTW - I have uninstalled/reinstalled the coupon printer application. I have tried all the suggestions on the Mozilla help/forum sites, as well as the Coupons.com web site. I have closed and re-started Firefox after the installation. I have also shut down and restarted my pc after installation. I tried installing the application with Firefox open, and tried it again with Firefox closed. I've even cleared out all my cookies/history associated with Coupons.com.
    ... I can't think of anything else to try, except for the "solution" of using IE for coupons.
    If it Really is a problem on the Coupon.com end of things, do you think it's worth it if we bombard the coupons.com support team with messages saying they need to fix the problem? (or just a waste of time?) ;(

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Storeand turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

    You cannot download the upgrade to Snow Leopard.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
         Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
             See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

    Hey there i downloaded apps using another apple id than the one am using right now and i need to update the apps they keep asking me for the old one that i dont have any more what to do please

    Apps are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them.
    Go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and re-set th password for the old one.
    Then, log into the app store with it and update the apps purchased with that ID.

  • Why is it that everytime I try to download Firefox 4 my Adobe reader can't open it because it is a damaged file? Because of this I am not able to download it. Not sure I want to since I see so many other people having problems with it.

    I will start the process of downloading Firefox 4 and then get the message that my Adobe Reader can't open the file because it is damaged or sent through an e mail. I was not in my e mail when I tried to download the update. This isn't the first time that this has happened. I gave up downloading updates in the past just because I would encounter this same problem.

    When you start the download, are you chooseing Save or Run?

  • The download of 3.6.11 started but now it is stuck at "paused downloading firefox 6.6.11" although it also says "conneccting to the update server"

    The download of version 3.6.11 started automatically, but paused itself and won't restart. It says it's connecting to the update server.

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * 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.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I've downloaded Firefox 4.0 six times but when I choose About Mozilla Firefox fromt he Help Menu it still shows version 3.6.16 - why isn't 4.0 downloading?

    I've keep downloading Firefox 4.0 but I don't think it is working because when I choose ABOUT MOZILLA FIREFOX from the HELP menu, it still show version 3.6.16. I haven't notice any increase of speed either. For quite a while also whenever I click the icon in the lower task bar to start up Firefox, the round cursor icon jumps around rather than rotating smoothly. I've tried many times to contact Firefox but only this morning did I finally find a way to email you. What is the problem that it isn't running smoothly? I double click the icon and it takes forever for Firefox homepage to come on the screen. I usually get impatient while waiting so I click the icon again. So when it does finally show the Firefox Home Page, I usually get 3 or 4 copies of it on top of each other. Why is it moving so slow. I was glad to see the 4.0 version but I can't seem to get it properly installed. What should I do?

    Firefox 4 beta versions install in a separate program folder (e.g. C:\Program files\Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 10) and doesn't replace the current Firefox 3.6.x release.<br />
    So both versions are installed and you need to make sure that you click the desktop shortcut with to launch the Firefox version that you want.<br />
    If you do not have a shortcut to launch the Firefox 4 version then you need to create one.
