Even after resetting Firefox, I can't bookmark pages, what can I do?

Recently I am unable to create new bookmarks. It seemed to happen after the most recent Firefox update but it could be a coincidence. There is no maware or adware on my computer so I don't believe it is related to that kind of issue. I tried basic things like deleting my cache, cookies, ect. but nothing happened. I restarted my computer and Firefox multiple times and still nothing. Finally I looked it up in your forums and tried a few different things; starting Firefox in safe mode and then trying to create bookmarks, deleting the 'prefs.js' file, and even resetting Firefox. I read one forum that recommended that I check the 'places.sqlite' for corruption but I'm not sure how to do that. I did, however, confirm that the file was not marked as read only. I saw that I could delete certain files butt I wasn't sure which files were okay to delete without losing my bookmarks. I don't mind losing any of my preferences, but my bookmarks on Firefox are the one thing I need to keep. Please let me know how I can resolve this issue. Thank you.

  • Even after reset, Firefox won't load Adobe flash player

    After repeated attempts I am still unable to install the new flash player. What is the problem?
    Incidentally, I have no problem with the flash update on MS Internet Browser. If I want to see a video I have to close Firefox and open IB. I think you have a serious problem with the program, and suggest you patch it up urgently.
    I am running Firefox on Windows XP Pro.

  • Certain games in facebook on firefox does not upload whole page what can I do

    When playing games on facebook, some of the games pages don't load all the way so I can, not able to click or move page to be able to click on items needed. I used to be able to do this and within the last week I can no longer get the pages to load correctly. I have tried everything. but nothing has helped. Please help as I would rather use firefox

    this may happen when you encounter a firefox auto-update after a restart of your firefox.exe. 2 ways to solve, 1st, remove the firefox for now, go mozilla official download a completely new install pack of firefox 4, and install it. 2nd, wait wait and wait, use an alternative(maybe google chrome 10.x), during waiting for the firefox.exe responding. good luck of you.

  • TS2446 Even after resetting password, I still get message "your apple id has been disabled. How can I download new apps?

    Even after resetting my password, I still get message "your apple id has been disabled".  How am I suppose to download updates or make purchases?

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it
    If having changed your password and having logged out and back in doesn't fix it then you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • When ever I customize the toolbar the open new tab sign that is the + sign near the lastly opened tab in the tab bar disappears and it remains so even after restarting Firefox.

    When ever I customize the toolbar, the open new tab sign that is the + sign near the lastly opened tab in the tab bar disappears and it remains so even after restarting Firefox. This happens only after updating to the new version 4.0.1 it never happened in the older versions 3.x.xx- checked it thrice. Thought it could be a bug and i didn't know where to report also don't have time and patience to search for the appropriate page so i'm reporting here for improving my favorite browser.

    You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
    You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
    If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.<br />

    I have a serious issue with my iTune store, its not down loading even after resetting the password!!! can someone help me to fix this problem..

    What password did you change?  Your Apple ID password?  If you changed that, did you go to:
    Settings > iTunes and App Store
    Tap on Apple ID
    Sign Out
    Sign Back In with correct Apple ID and Password

    my ipad has the apple frozen even after reset. what do i do?

    Can you please specify more, what generation and is it wifi or wifi and cellular?
    The best thing to do with all ipad's is try ro set it back to factory setting, go into itunes, open the screen that displays your ipad and press, reset r factory settings or something like that.
    Remember to make a backup first! Otherwise you will lose all your files.

    Ok, when I go into my Apple ID account, everything looks right.  It does show my user name.  It's only on the iPod that it shows my husband's previous user name, and it asks for his password.  Everything in iTunes and my account looks right.  The issue only seems to be with the actual device, iPod Touch 4th gen.
    There is more than one way to access the Apps Store and the iTunes store.  One is via iTunes on your computer, and the other is via the apps on your iPod.
    Just because you are logged in on your computer does not mean you are logged in on your iPod.
    The reason your husband's user name comes up is because he was the last one to log on.  You can change that by going to Settings>Store.  Tap the Apple ID, Tap Sign Out, Tap Sign In, Tap Use Existing Appel ID, enter your e-mail address and Apple ID password, and tap OK.

  • HT5538 Every time I try to use apple ID for face time I got an error message "the username or password was incorrect" although they are right and I use them in App Store and I cloud even after resetting my password

    Every time I try to use apple ID for face time I got an error message "the username or password was incorrect" although they are right and I use them in App Store and I cloud even after resetting my password, the problem happens also with iMessage . Please help

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa

  • Camera on 5s is frozen even after reset any ideas? Thx

    My camera is frozen on my iPhone 5s even after resetting...any ideas?  Thx

    That is NOT unfreezing it for me. It returns to home page now after about thirty seconds of total freeze (worsened from last night).
    And now some really strange things are adding to it, like when waking and sliding to unlock, the tab is sticking for several seconds to the right before opening home page. Nobody seems to know whether apps are saved in sync for easy load following a restore. (??)
    Edit to add: when I try the hard reset, it simply prompts whether I want to shut down, so I guess yes, it does finally help to exit the frozen shutter, though as I said, it releases after about thirty seconds.
    One more edit: I turned my iphone off and restarted it to find, knock on wood, that the camera's working now. Will see where it goes from here.
