Firefox 3.5.25 suddenly stopped working, have old computer this is as high as I can go

I have a mac powerbook about 5 years old. The only version of FF I can use is 3.6.25 and have been using it all along. 3 days ago it suddenly stopped working. I lost my igoogle page. Icannot sign in as the button does not work. When I try to search nothing happens. I reinstalled it 3 times, still nothing. Works fine on my ipad2.

It's tricky to try to troubleshoot this one as 3.5 isn't really supported anymore. However, as you reinstall Firefox, all your settings are actually still kept in your Profile folder, so if it's related to your settings, reinstalling won't fix the problem.
What you could try is creating a new profile and see if that solves it -- note however that this will be like installing a second copy of Firefox and you will not have access to any of your bookmarks, passwords, etc. It is basically like starting from scratch (though your information is still kept in the original profile -- they can both coexist).
This article covers the procedure of creating a new, second profile: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=profile&r=0&e=sph&as=s

  • Wireless router suddenly stops working, have to unplug to fix

    I actually had a similar problem with an older Linksys router in the past, but it was wired.  Basically, a port would stop working and I'd have to unplug the router and plug it back in to get the port to work again.  Well, now with my WRT160N, wireless will just suddenly cut off.  Wired computers still work fine, and don't even notice a difference, but every wireless computer suddenly disconnects and refuses to reconnect (this includes Vista, XP, and non-Windows devices like TiVo, PS3, etc.).  All I have to do is unplug the router and plug it back in and everything happily reconnects and works great.  No settings are being changed during any of this.
    Another problem which may be related.  I work from home and VPN (using the built-in Windows VPN client) to work.  It will work great, but all of a sudden I get disconnected from VPN only, every other aspect of the network and Internet works fine, but VPN just completely dies on me.  Unplug the router, plug it back in, and VPN has no more issues.  No settings, or anything else, are changed at home or at work during this problem.
    So what I'm wondering is if Linksys routers have some sort of internal counter and every now and then it rolls over to a negative, gets confused and just stops working, or are they just really sensitive to outside interference and somebody's cordless phone in the neighborhood is causing this problem.

    Try reflashing the firmware. You can get latest firmware from www.linksys.com/download , also change radio band to wide and standard channel to 11

  • Flash Player suddenly stopped working on my computer completely!

    So I tried out the Adobe Photoshop trial, and when that trial expired, I uninstalled it using Revo Uninstaller, and I think that may have accidentally uninstalled Adobe Flash Player from my  computer entirely. None of my browsers can show Youtube Videos, Pandora Radio does not work,  and when I go to click on a link from Google, it's just a white screen and does not redirect me to the link, although Flash games do work for some odd reason.
    I use Google Chrome, have deleted browsing cache, Flash cache, and attempted to re-install Adobe Flash Player onto my computer, but when I go to install it on chrome, it says that flash is built in. When I go to install it on Firefox, I click download and nothing ever pops up.
    If anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate that very much!

    Sorry for the delay, the clean install did not work unfortunately. Here is the information you requested.

  • My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

    try this.
    get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
    you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
    on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
    see if that sorts it out for you.
    good luck.

    Either the physical drive or the enclosure electronics has failed. The light you are seeing is powered by the USB connection, the power, electricity, all USB ports put out. That doesn't mean the actual physical hard drive or the USB to SATA bus electronics are working properly. If it doesn't show in Disk Utility then it is DEAD.
    Most of the time it is the enclosures electronics that fail. Removing the physical drive from the enclosure and put it in another enclosure or using a SATA to USB adapter, one that has it's own AC power supply, might allow you to get the files off the drive.

    If they do nothing at all, double check system preferences/speech and make sure they have not somehow gotten set as the trigger for Text to speech or speech recognition, etc.
    Also try an external keyboard.  If it works ok, then your internal keyboard is probably damaged and needs repair or replacement.

    Plug it into the charger/wall socket and let it charge for at least an hour. It just might start charging. If you have already tried charging it for a fair amount of time and it didn't work, try restoring the device with iTunes.

  • Hello, my backspace and enter keys suddenly stopped working. I have done a PRAM reset and used the keyboard viewer to see if the buttons work and they don't.  The PRAM reset didn't work  either

    Dear All,  the backspace and enter keys on my wireless keyboard suddenly stopped working.  Im using OS 10.7.5 and have tried a PRAM reset which didn't work.  I also used the keyboard viewer to see if the keys worked on that but they don't.  This is driving me mad, can anyone please tell me what to do?  It happened just after an update but this could be a coincidence.  Thank you for your time 

    For my computers, though some of them support BlueTooth devices and accessories,
    my preference and economy of standard, is to have wired USB and also use powered
    USB hubs for accessories.
    I've used USB wired keyboards and mouse products; and some I've bought from the
    original owners who had upgraded to BT, and never used the new Apple USB model;
    so I have spares of these on-hand since they seldom fail, but do work when BT won't.
    {A SMC reset should not cause a problem, or seldom has; but can solve some.}
    In my opinion, the wired USB keyboard is an essential accessory, if not a necessary
    primary means of user access on a continuous basis. At least until the wires fail...!

    My Kindle app suddenly stopped working on my iPhone 4s. All my software is up to date and I have restarted the phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it still opens and shuts down instantly. Any ideas?

    We need clarification here.
    Please don't just state version numbers, also state which software.  iTunes 10.7 requires OSX 10.6.8 or higher.  Leopard is OSX 10.5.8.  You have two alternatives right now.  One is to stay with Leopard for a while (ultimately you should upgrade) and install iTunes 10.6.3 which is the last version to work with Leopard.  This should work with iOS6 on an iPhone4.  The other is to call Apple and order OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and upgrade the computer to 10.6.8 which will allow you to run iTunes 10.7.  The caveat is we know nothing about which computer you run and if it even can run any system higher than Leopard.
    Here is iTunes 10.6.3
    iTunes 10.6.3 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
    If you want to try upgrading:
    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About this Mac" and "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).  If it says something about Intel or Core Duo or Core 2 Duo in the processor you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (assuming you have sufficient RAM/"memory").  If it says PPC or PowerMac, you cannot.
    Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion -  https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store. 
    It would help when posting issues here if you would state exact error messages you see.  "It's still not working!" while a description of the situation does not speed us to a diagnosis of the underlying issue.

  • Firefox suddenly stopped working blocking evenb safari- why? what has gone wrong, under feed back ?http?

    Firefox suddenly stopped working with Mac OS 10.6.8- keeps blocking even Safari- will jot download , open pdf file downloads-- wasted a lot of time of several University experts- we can't locate work out why- x3 quit everything, download, reinstalled twice, machine switch on/off- something seriously wrong and wasting alot of time.
    It had been working faultless for years- recently iMAC 1TB disc was changed by Apple under their programme of exchange for 'free'- it has not worked since!!!!
    Many thanks

    On PDF issues, disable the Adobe Acrobat plugin so that PDFs open in Apple's own native PDF reader instead.
