Is it just called Mozilla? What is in the folder?
Also, your System Details shows; Firefox 35. The current is 36.0.1

    While working in Pages a folder appeared on my desktop with the Pages icon on it. I don't know how it got there. It will not let me move it on the desktop. I will not let me delete it. It will not let me do anything to it. Any idea what I might have done to create this alien?
    Any help greatly appreciated with thanks in advance.

    Restart Finder by pressing option +  command + Esc. Select Finder int he window that pops up and click on the Start/restart button.
    You could also try deleting the com.apple.finder.plist file from Users > your name > Library > Preferences
    Restarting the computer in safe mode , press the Shift key just after you heard the start chime. Keep it pressed until you see the grey apple. See if the folder is gone or can be moved.

  • TS3230 Why aren't Google and Yahoo loading in Safari with Maverics?  After several failed attempts, a "wireless diagnostics" zipped folder appeared on my desktop.  I'm using a macbook pro with OSX 10.9.2

    I updated to Maverics and now yahoo and google do not load in Safari - i get a "connot connect to server" warning.  other websites load just fine. 
    Also, after several attempts to access the aforementioned sites, a zipped file/folder appeared on my desktop titled "WirelessDiagnostics"
    What in the world is going on here?  I attached a screenshot of the zip file.

    Double-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    www.google.com
    Launch the Network Utility application.
    Step 1
    Select the Lookup tab and paste into the address field (command-V). Press return. Post the output that appears below – the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Step 2
    Select the Ping tab and do the same. Please enter the same input as you did in Step 1. Don't use the output of Step 1 as input to Step 2.
    Important Note
    Some web browsers and mail clients will automatically convert a domain name such as "www.example.com" to a clickable URL, such as http://www.example.com. That will interfere with the test. If necessary, edit the input in the Network Utility window to remove any added characters.

  • After loading Snow Leopard, Firefox has become extremely slow. I have reload FF but no help. Suggestons?

    After loading Snow Leopard, FF is extremely slow loading web pages. I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF but this did not help. Any suggestions?

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • Hi, earlier I was using firefox 17 and it was working fine. Later when i upgraded to firefox 25 it became extremely slow, taking indefinite time to load a page

    To solve this i have tried many things said in the forum like changing network.http.keep-alive.timeout to 0, removing and reinstalling firefox but nothing seems to work out. Though chrome is working fine. few days back post installation of firefox 25, i scanned my computer with spyhunter and regcure pro and i dont know why, it seems to have worsen the case. Please help

    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.

    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/fix-problems-connecting-websites-after-updating
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.

  • Cannot get Dish online and Dish Slingbox to work with Firefox. Works just fine wiht IE but will not load video with Firefox version 13 or 14

    Does anyone know a Firefox version that will play the Dish online video with their Slingbox? I thought I had it working at one time but am no longer sure. Internet Explorer works just fine.

    Maybe an issue with Flash 11.3. What's your Flash version in Firefox? (type about:plugins in location bar)

  • Every time I try to open the firefox application, it won't load and pages and the application freezes. How can I fix this?

    When I open the application, there is one tab that says, "Connecting..." After several seconds, the program crashes and remains that way until I force quit the application. I tried restarting my computer. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, and nothing worked.

    I had the same problem.  I went into software updates and updated security, and two other updates (can't remember exact updates) then restarted my macbook.  My macbook wouldn't start! 
    I found information about restting the SMC (System Management Controller).
    Unplug the power adapter.
    Remove the battery.
    Hold the power button down for 5 secs.
    Reconnect the battery and power adapter.
    Press the power button.
    My Macbook started up and I opened up itunes and the itunes store opened up with images.
    I think the resolution was the software updates, but I'm not 100% sure so I included every step that was made.

    You can try a SMC and PRAM reset, but I think something got fried and your going to need to take it in for service.

  • MSN Entertainment - .mp4 icons appear on my desktop every time I am using Firefox to view some web pages.

    I have been using Firefox for many years now. Firefox 19.0 on a Mac OS X 10.6.8 Lately when I open and view some web pages an Icon with 'MSN Entertainment -.mp4' appears. Some sessions leave as many as 15 to 20 of these Icons. I can not open them with any thing.
    Did I do something wrong or what. I can't seem to find out the answer.
    They do not appear when we use Safari

    PS - SORRY --- I meant (in the title): "... using Firefox as my web browser."

  • Stray "Foley" folder appeared on my desktop. Where should it be?

    Stray "Foley" folder on my desktop containing Apple CoreAudio Format sound effect files. Where should it be? Utilities? I've no earthly idea.
    MacBook Pro  OS 10.6.8

    It belongs in /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound Effects/ . Use the Go to Folder command in the Finder's Go menu to get there.

  • After loading the latest firefox version I lost all the formatting from Yahoo, everything is text unformatted how do I restore my format?

    My screen is just all text and I cannot navigate to my familiar selection places. I don't know how to get back my format for Yahoo

    That is caused by code for HiDPI that landed.
    You can modify the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx and increase or decrease the value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps to adjust the size of fonts and other elements in Firefox.
    * The layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) more precisely (resolution 0.1 or 0.05).
    * You can use values between 0.05 and 1.0 to reduce elements in size or use values greater than 1.0 to magnify and make elements larger (percentage divided by DPI, % / DPI).
    If the web pages needs to be adjusted after changing this pref then you can look at Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint.
    * Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6965
    * NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592

  • Firefox, recently, will not open links in Outlook and after I close Outlook, Firefox will not start again until I reboot the computer.

    Firefox IS my default browser. I have tried reloading Firefox from scratch, and Outlook from scratch. I have been using Firefox for years. Only similar previous problem was that link would try to open inI.E., fail, then would open successfully in Firefox.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Can't remember any change that occurred simultaneously.

    Hello friend, i have a suggestion:
    Sometimes my Firefox closes and the same thing happens... So I close the process, on the Task Manager (famous ctrl + alt + del on Windows) and start Firefox again. Try it!:D
