Everytime I use the firefox browser it will freeze up when refreshing a page or changing to another page saying program not responding. This is getting really annoying, is there anyway to fix this problem?

Everytime I check my email and switch websites the program will become unresponsive and freeze, then it will say "Not Responding". After waiting a while it will work again but with it freezing up for every time a page changes or refreshes it's a waste of time for me to use this browser.

Hello, I like using the Firefox browser. Will there be a Blacberry 10 Firefox app?

Just a query as I am looking to be an early adopter of the new Blackberry platform.

To give a actual answer on why.
It may not be possible to build mobile Firefox for BB 10 now days as QNX support has long been removed from the Mozilla source tree.
Look in bugzilla for '''QNX''' to see a number of bug examples on this.
Edit: It is possible to side load Android apps converted to .bar files, though this only works with some Android apps.

Photoshop Elements 1.0.1 seems like very old software 2001 I believe. Try asking in the Elements maybe someone there will be able to answer your question. Photoshop Elements

I want to eliminate an autofill choice that pops up when I sign into yahoo using the Firefox browser. I tried yahoo help which said hover over the unwanted line and press delete, but that did not work. I am using a Mac if that makes a difference.

What preset have you selected?
Can you post a screenshot showing the distortion.

When I open Live Mail in the Firefox browser, how often is new mail received? Can I change that? Is there a button to "receive mail?"

When I open Live Mail using the Firefox browser, how often is new mail received?

Firefox 13, Windows Vista, I use Thunderbird as my default email program and in past versions of Firefox I was able use a custom button to open Thunderbird to receive mail. In the options menu - applications - there is a mailto content type but no option to open Thunderbird inbox?

When I upload videos that were shot in portrait to iMovie, they are oddly distorted and widened. Is there anyway of fixing this?

When I upload videos that were shot in portrait to iMovie, they are oddly distorted and widened. Is there anyway of fixing this?

Thanks for the advice! However, when I tried your suggestion, the image was still distorted. Instead of being the usual portrait view with the black bars on either side of the video, the entire video stretches to fill the whole screen, making everything on the video seem much wider than the images truly are. Do you have any suggestions for fixing this?

My Firefox Mozilla is reduced to a tiny rectangle (upper left of screen) and does NOT RESPOND to my attempts to use the Firefox browser. What happened? Would Firefox please RESTORE the Firefox browser to my laptop.

I changed to Mozilla Firefox from Internet explorer months ago. Very pleased with features, service, etc. A couple of weeks ago, I got an update message while doing some work but did not install the update at the time. Another update message came up with an accompanying, confusing note indicating some dangerous possible consequences if I did not install the update.
A few keystrokes later and my screen seemed to go haywire, and my laptop would not respond to my cursor. I shut down. When I restarted and went to the Firefox shortcut icon a tiny (1"x 1/4") replica of part of the normal Yahoo!/Firefox screen appeared and continues to do so each time I attempt to use Firefox. I'm now back to Internet explorer. HELP me get back to using Mozilla.

Right-click on the Firefox image in that little Firefox window and see if '''Maximize''' is available in that context menu. If so, click on Maximize.
To be clear, Yahoo!/Firefox is a modified version of the official Firefox program and may have faults that aren't in the official version.

Try Googling -'' google pack +pc tools +spyware doctor'' which is where you might reasonably have started.
Nothing to do with Mozilla, though.

When I run a application in fullscreen mode while using the Firefox browser, the application automatically minimizes, e gets back to normal only if I close the Firefox. How can I solve this problem?

Hello, I'm writing it to inform you that I am having some problems with mozilla firefox 3.6.10, and I know that other people are having the same problem: Ever I run any fullscreen application, like games, while using mozilla firefox 3.6.10, it automatically minimizes (the program, not the browser). I'd like to find a solution. Sorry about the bad english, I'm a brazilian. My operational system is Windows 7 x86, and I have a Pentium E5300 processor, motherboard MSI (MS-7267), and 2GB of RAM DDR2. It's a Desktop Computer. Thanks for all.

I would recommend releasing and renewing the IP lease on the affected computer. The following article provides further information and details the process of doing so.

I have a iMac destop 10.6.2 and use the AOL Mail web site with your Firefox Browser. It has worked great for years. I update the firefox to 6.1 and now I cannot send images using the Firefox browser. With Safari browser it works fine.

I use AOL mail - http://www.aol.com/ with my Firefox 6.1 browser. Before updating aol mail worked great with firefox for years. Now when I try to send ( upload) messages with a file or images I always get the reading " there was a technical problem and I should try again". Messages with NO files or images go through just fine. I have cleared the Firefox history, the cache and cookies and the problem remained the same. The question is does this problem have something to do with the latest update ? AOL are still only familar with the 3.6 Firefox versions. Thanks

Well I guess I was too optimistic. Since last posting I have had three hang events, one during reboot. When the login dialog box came up I clicked on it and it hung.
However I do have a new data point. I have enabled the remote login (sshd). I have discovered that when the system hangs like I described above, I can still log in via SSH from my Windows system. The shell appears normal, but when I tried a "killall Safari" command the OS crashed hard. After a hard reset, the system hung during the login process. Again I could login remotely, and that time I executed a "sudo reboot" via the remote session. That cleared the display to all-blue but did not successfully reboot.
Can anyone suggest what to try via the remote login to help diagnose what is happening? I am familiar with typical Linux architecture but the differences in Mac OS X are leaving me a bit disoriented.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden Menu bar.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
*Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
*If an image in the list is grayed and "<i>Block Images from...</i>" has a check-mark then remove this check-mark to unblock images from this domain.
Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the <b>about:config</b> page should be 1.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.

There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

I can't use the column browser on my iPod classic when it is hooked up to iTunes. Did they do away with it?

When I hook my iPod Classic up to iTunes on my computer the column browser is not there and the selection to turn it on is grayed out. Has it been done away with? It is still there on a 5th generation Nano.

It might be the battery, it sure sounds as though it could be. What happens if you leave it to charge, does the charging symbol show, does the battery icon show full, part full or empty at any time?
If you check here; https://locate.apple.com/uk/en/ and enter your postcode in the Service box, you should see the options available to you from Apple and its Authorised Service Providers. They can advise you about the battery and you should be given the cost before you commit to spending your dosh!
