Firefox 19.02 freezes. Tried downgrading Flash to 10.3 but problem appears to be unrelated to Flash. Reinstalled Forefox 14.01 problem went away.
Latest version of Firefox freezes solid on load. 14.01 fixes the problem. Reinstalled 19.02 and problem reappeared. Disabling Norton Firewall temporarily did not fix the problem. Reinstalled 14.01 a second time and problem went away again. Running Win 8 on a Toshiba Satellite laptop.
Update: It WAS Flash related. I reinstalled Firefox 19.0.2. Both Flash 10.3 and 11.6 froze. I then uninstalled Flash. No problem. Reinstalled Flash 10.3, froze again. Downgraded Firefox to 14.01 again. Flash 10.3 runs with no problem. On my PC 14.01/Flash 10.3 is the workable solution, for now. Fix please.

Upgrade to Firefox 4.0 has caused nothing but problems. Unable to click links, access websites, etc. How can I downgrade to previous version?
Check that the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible and that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is still placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

my apple tv 1st generation appears to have locked up. it constantly now displays only a black screen.No function reset etc from remote use.The led status is constantly blinking orange. I have tried all the manual tips etc but still blank. Any ideas anyone?
Gary.Same/similar thing just happened to me....two days ago or so. Ran fine for months since going from wifi (major problems) to ethernet now.
I hadn't been on atv 1 for a few days and had it powered down. Turned it on and it ran thru the startup video/sequence then did the ole sit on a black screen where you can hear the remote responses (say, if i hit left on the remote - the 'option not available' doink noise is made instead of the usual sound you'd get if you were moving to the left on the menu.....not sure if that description makes sense?
The 'exit' or moving out of a menu 'noise' does sound, as does the enter/moving into a menu noise.
This has happened in the past, but more when i had it set up via wi fi.
Thing is this time i left it sit on the black screen while reading the paper, and after about 5 minutes, the menu screen finally showed up. Everything was really sluggish to start - but it was there. But, then, i reset it to see if the sluggishness would go away, and back to the black screen after the startup video.....and then 5 minutes later, it came up.
Not sure what is going on...but did have the blinking orange light for a while during the issue.
Don't think its an age thing as it did this even when i first purchased it....
Once into a video or music it runs fine (though i did notice that every once in a while with the music playing from my itunes, it would have a second of silence mid song like it paused for a second, and then would resume as if nothing happened.....
Any ideas whats shaking with this? Does this sound similar to your issue or am i in a different ball park. -
read earlier messages on the same problem
checked antivirus (System Mechanic)
Safe mode start up
rebuilt global database
compacted and repaired folders
nothing of these solved the problem
It still remains too slow to use. Whatever operation I do, delete a file, move it, send a message, it takes up to a minute to complete. A few times I saw a "busy script" message.
Win8.1, use POP3 and clear inbox always to keep messages on local folders. There are 15+ years worth of messages, so changing to another email program is not an option.Thanks Christ1
This doesn't work for me as the local folders are on a USB3 flash disk - not available in WIN8 safe mode.
However, miraculously the problem is away now - no changes made to anything. This happened a few weeks ago too: when I was away from home, using a different internet connection, the problem started. Repair folders, compact folders, rebuilt index, but no effect. Then suddenly things were back to normal.
Not sure what now. Will wait until it happens again and then document better exactly what happened. -

From another computer, go to http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/, click "Free download" button, click "Save File" button, select your flash drive in "Save as" window. "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" file will be saved in your flash drive.
You just need to insert it in your new computer and double-click on "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" from Windows Explorer and follow instructions. -
I can't even get into Firefox to troubleshoot
I don't know if this helps, but I'm still working on this problem and took a screen shot of my Console Message errors:
What's happening here is opening the program, trying to save and it crashes. Then trying to open the program again and it crashing before it even opens. Finally opening the program a third time and trying to save it using "save as" instead of "save" (which I found one forum recommending) and it crashing again. -
the firefox set 7.01 up file can be downloaded but will not run do I have to update to 4 the 5 up to 7?

unable too run setup everytimeThe longer this thread continues, the more ancillary comments you throw in that aren't directly pertinent to your problem with your DVR software not working with Firefox 4.0. Sorry, I don't intend to continue with this discussion.
I do agree that ''something'' needs to be done better with regards to plugins for Firefox, but I do disagree with you as to whose responsibility that ''something'' is. -
Where did my Firefox button go? Tried turning off the menu bar but did not help. Win 7, FF 29
Also curious how such things change on my computer without my nod. I realize there are necessary background changes and other changes that my occur to operating systems and apps, but from time to my features are changed with no explanation and no apparent advantage to the person initiating the change (and without my knowledge let alone my consent).
yes, firefox will automatically update regularly - though you could disable that in the [[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption]], i would strongly discourage you from doing so since updates generally also contain [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html critical security fixes] & the integrity of your system and your personal data on it would be at risk otherwise.

all that is showing is bookmark tabs. I can't search or open my home page. I don't have a fire fox button at the top to click on to open in safe mode.

I receive this error from gmail and also when I go to the download site.
Your UserAgent string in Firefox is incorrect. Do correct do the following:
* Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter
* If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.
* Filter = general.useragent.
* Right-click the preferences that are bold, one line at a time, and select Reset.

Trying to open the iTunes installer but nothing appears.
Hello People.
I've just downloaded the iTunes latest version (I have never tried to install any version of iTunes before) and basically the installer doesn't open. I try to execute the installer file and nothing appears, even an error message or something.
Anyone has ever seen something like this? Anyone help me fixing this problem?
I have an iPod nano and I do need iTunes (that's the biggest issue). I use Windows XP Pro.
Thanks for the attention, looking forward to hearing you.
ps: I'm brazilian and my english is terrible, so forgive me about the mistakes please.I ve checked several forums in the net and a think that this might help us with the issue.
1st, check that you have inside your c:\windows\system32 the following dlls:
sccbase.dll
sccsccp.dll
slbcsp.dll
slbiop.dll
wmasf.dll
wmidx.dll
slbrccsp.dll
And you need to register most of them. to register them you ve to execute the command : regsvr32 xxx.dll
Doing this and making sure of uninstalling any trace of apple old installations (like old msi files) i ve reached to make the quicktime installer run !
Tonight i will try testing to install quicktime first and then the famous itunes !
The thing is that i am not sure if reinstalling windows will solve the issue (i ve formated my disck 2 months ago)
I ll let you know if i progress with this issue.
Tks. -
Unable to sync iphone4. iphone not recognized. wants me to restore factory settings. I've done that several times and problem persists.This has been an issue sunce buying the phone.
Hello @dazegoneby,
I understand that your HP Pavilion p6-2220t Desktop PC running Windows 7 used to connect to your home network without an issue, but recently it does not recognise the network. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Troubleshooting Your Wireless Network and Internet Connection (Windows 7), which has steps to help resolve issues such as this. Now I am not recommending that you do the step that asks you to reset up your router as you have other devices that are working fine so that would not be the issue.
If the above document does not resolve your issue could you please re-post with either a screen shot of your Device Manager showing what is listed in Network Adapters or re-post with which wireless card you have.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
Also be sure to mark my post as “Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others who face the same challenge find the same solution.

[SOLVED] firefox and thunderbird freeze
Hi, since a few day I've had issues with both firefox 9 and thunderbird 9. Firefox starts normally, but whenever I touch try to open a menu it freezes. If I start ff from a terminal I don't get any error error messages it just hangs. Killing the program from the gui does not work, but I when started from the terminal ctrl-c kills it without any problems. The problem only occurs for the main toolbar, my bookmarks bar works fine, as do the home button, url bar and such. Thunderbird shows similar freezes, but they occur consistently after starting the program. I think the problems started after upgrading to version 9, but I am not entirely sure, since I don't use the laptop on which the problem occurs much for email and browsing.
I tried renaming my .mozilla folder so I could make a fresh start, but this had no effect, nor did starting firefox in safe-mode. I also tried downgrading to 8.x but then it froze on startup. Since gtk3 was updated at the same time as well, I tried downgrading that one as well, but to no effect As the program is frozen the memory and cpu use are normal.
Does anyone have any suggestions towards finding a solution?
[edit]I have two arch installations on this laptop and just tried updating the other (somewhat neglected) install. In this one all works fine.I'm trying to go over the differences between the two now.[/edit]

I assumed the .pulse folder is related to pulseaudio, because of the name and the contents, so I uninstalled pulseaudio and friends and deleted the ~/.pulse folder. Now firefox and thunderbird work again as they should. And as a bonus spotify finally works again as well. Pulseaudio has been giving me a headache on this laptop but I don't understand why it interfered with firefox.
Thanks for helping out.
If the glibc problem turns out to persist I can undo the solved tag ofc.

Firefox crashes or freezes unexpected while watching/using flash contents
Firefox crashes or freezes unexpected while watching/using flash contents. Particularly, when I need any flash content. It freezes up so that the only option will be to force quit the firefox.
I've noticed the crashing increasing with the newer versions. The worst thing is when I'm writing a long email and then go to a page with flash and ff locks up and then crashes. I use IE now for most flash content or mission critical emailing but IE's interface is poorly laid out so I don't like it. I've tried FF with the plugin container and without it and it crashes either way (more often without the container). I use adblock and firebug. I wonder if ppl experiencing this prob are using those plugins too.
