Firefox 18.0.1 started downloading the minute I clicked on the icon. Get cloudy pages and freezing trouble browsing. Trouble signing off computer.

I turned on my computer and clicked on firefox. It immediately downloaded the new version 18.0.1 without me even clicking on it. It did the add on stuff too. I had trouble browsing after that and the pages freeze up and cloud over. I had trouble signing off my computer. I had to do a hard turn off. What's going on?

hello, please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case there is no new version available at the moment disable hardware acceleration in firefox > options > advanced > general.

    I had the same problem when i dl-ed a new anti-virus softward, but what I did help me reconnect Firefox again!
    Here is what I did,
    Go to open firefox browser-->option-->advanced-->network-->settings-->and change it to auto-detect proxy settings for this network!
    It worked for you, hope it will work for you too =)!

  • HT1725 Everytime I plug my phone into to sync, Itunes starts downloading the same rented movie over and over. I go in and delte it from my library but it does it again. How can I stop this from happening?

    The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
    It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

  • Firefox apparently doesn't start from the icon, but it says it is active when the computer is shut down.

    Apparently Firefox is running, but I can't see any evidence of this on the screen. When I reboot the computer, usually I can call up and use Firefox as usual. This is quite a nuisance, as it happens several times an hour. No notification of a crash is provided, ever.

  • Updated my mac to mountain lion 10.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install? Can anyone help me?

    updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?

    It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
    Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
    As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
    Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

    *Clean Reinstall
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • HT1349 I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and now I cannot play the songs in order, they skip around randomly. The shuffle feature is off. All I really want to do is play an album from start to finish.

    I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and now I cannot play the songs in order. It will skip around or just stop playing the song currently playing when it is finished. I just want to play an album from start to finish. The shuffle feature is turned off.

    not executable message, the slot0: and disk0: are not accessable can't see the files inside, when I try the dir slot0: or dir disk0: it says it can't be opened and when I try to boot from them there's noting as well, what can I do to load an IOS image to the booflash: or slot0: ,each time I load the image using Xmodem at the end it gives me *** System received a Software forced crash ***

    I''m looking to format the PCMCIA using a PC and format it to FAT16 and copy the boot image into it and then try to load from the PCMCIA afterward if it works I'll format it using the Supervisor engine 2.
    Any one have another new idea I can use, thanks in advance

    This is a potentially complex issue.
    Is this SUP configured to run as IOS native or CatOS Hybrid?
    While in ROMMON can you do the 'dev' command and see whad drives are recognized. Then 'dir' the drives that the SUP recognizes.
    Can you provide the screen captures as it boots?
    You would be bette served by hacing a TAC case.

  • I started downloading The Hunger Games to my iPod 4g but I want to stop the download, not just pause it. When I go to the videos app I can't find it there to delete it. So how do I get it to stop downloading it?

    Just let it download and then delete it afterwards! When its done touch it and hold down until it starts to shake and hit the x in the corner to delete it! Hope this helped!

  • HT201272 I preordered a book and when I started downloading the book it never finished.  It shows up on my bookshelf but I'm unable to open or delete the book

    I pre-ordered a book and when I started downloading the book it must have stopped in the middle of the download.  The book shows up on my bookshelf but I'm unable to open the book or delete the book

    Disregard this question, I just noticed that it wanted an Adobe password.

  • HT1338 why once I start downloading the mountain lion, it is always waiting..

    why once I start downloading the mountain lion, it is always waiting..
    I tried to restart the mac several times. It doesnt work all the same.

    I found something that fixed the issue for me.
    First close the App Store -> then use spotlight to find something called Keychain Access -> go to prefreences in keychain access -> under the Certificates tab navigate to "Certificates Revocation List (CRL): -> change this to off.
    Close Keychain Access
    Reopen the App Store
    Go back to keychain access -> Preferences -> Certifictes tab -> change "Certificate Revocation List (CRL): to "Best Attempt".
    Close Keychain Access
    Close App Store
    Reopen App Store
    then naviagte to updates and it downloaded just fine for me.
    Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.
