Firefox 3.6.10 doesn't shut down. Keeps running using 100% of my CPU so I can't play a game. etc., unless I use TUT to find it and shut it down.

After I shut Firefox down, when I try to re-open it (in the same session) I get message "Firefox is already running but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process or restart the system." So I would restart the computer, and it was ok until I shut down again. Finally I used TUT to see what was running in my programs and found that Firefox WAS still running, even though no obvious pages were open on toolbar, etc. Now I use TUT to shut it down instead of restarting, but it's still a nuisance. Should I reinstall Firefox?

When watching an item ending in ebay/firefox, the time remaining doesn't count down.

When watching an item ending in ebay/firefox, the time remaining doesn't count down. However I'm sure it used too.

Just an update...
I took my computer into the Apple Store and they gave me a new battery (again). I also erased my hard drive and reinstalled Lion. I am still having the same problem with my battery icon not counting down (when i have the power cord unplugged). Another thing I may have not talked about is when I unplug my power adapter from my MacBook the screen used to dim slightly, It no longer does that. Hmm. And yes I have checked the power settings.
I am seeing a big difference in my new battery though. The 6 month old battery I was using before my replacement wasn't lasting but maybe and hour before completely turning off my laptop. SInce I got my replacement battery I am back to a regular battery life. Maybe a couple issues going on here...
As a fix, I purchased Battery Guard from the app store and placed the icon on my tool bar. It actually counts down my battery life as a percentage. So its a huge help. I just don't know why the native Mac icon isn't working properly?? One thing I have noticed is the 3rd party app will only count down using a Percentage. But, like the native Mac icon it will not count down using time. Something else to add... After using my battery, and I plug my MacBook back in, the battery icon will count up. Kinda strange that it will count up but not down.
Dstppy, any luck at the Apple Store?

Since up dating my Firefox I can not play any games on Facebook they all run very slow, can someone please help me with a solution.It mainly seems to be with games.

RE: "P.S. I found it aggravating that I couldn't copy and paste text here, it wanted me to insert as a link or an image, how do you insert plain text?"
I take it you tried using the "right click" menu? That doesn't seem to work, as you noted, but, you should be able to paste text by pressing your CTRL key and while holding it down, press the "V" letter key.
CTRL + C = COPY
CTRL + X = CUT
CTRL + V = PASTE

Upgrading to firefox 5 and updating my plug-ins helped a bit. Frog is less 'sticky' now, but it's not solved the problem. Java needs to be up to speed or the frog goes into stasis....

I can't get Firefox to open on my computer. I've been using it for a year and a half with no problems until now. I keep getting the following "Unresponsive script" error message: Script: resource:///components/nsHandlerService.js:432 How do I fix this?

Unresponsive script error message keeps popping up, Firefox will not open.

Try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

When I open one particular folder to play the games in it the pointer turns into a pinwheel and I cant open the game or close the folder unless I shut down my computer. Never happened before and does not happen with any other folder on the desktop.

why does pointer become a pinwheel when I open one particular folder only and prevent me from opening the apps in it and then keep me from closing the folder unless I shut down the computer completely. I can open all other folders on the desk top without a problem. My game folder never gave me trouble before.

Try this. Open one of your files. The window that contains your picture is named at the top. Command click on the name and you'll see the entire path starting with its name and then moving to the folder, the folder it is contained in, etc all the way to down to the hard drive volume name. This should tell you where to find the folder.

Firefox 3.6.9 doesn't open but is running in task manager

I received Animalware via µTorrent and was very busy cleaning up. I changed from AVG (because it let it slip by) to Avira Anti-Vir, ran MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, among other threat removers. In the beginning, none of the current browsers, as well as Outlook Express, were able to connect, but as I progressed with the cleaning operation, IE, Chrome, Safari & Outlook Express were able to connect. Firefox still doesn't open and displays no errors, but runs in Task Manager using 95% of the CPU. I am also running online scans from Trend Micro, Panda and bitDefender. Meanwhile, if anyone has any other suggestions, I would be very thankful.

Make sure that you do not remove your personal data when you uninstall Firefox. Then you won't lose personal data stored in a different location in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder].

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks Firefox. 
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

Firefox automatically updated to a version that will not run on my version of OSX... can I reinstall my old version and keep my saved bookmarks, etc?

I am running OSX 10.4.11 on my iMac; Firefox automatically updated to version 12, and now it will not run on my computer.
Is there a way to deinstall the new version while keeping my saved bookmarks, etc?
If not, how do I deinstall 12 and reinstall the older version of Firefox that worked with my operating system?
Thanks.

[[Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.4 or PowerPC processors]].
You can install Firefox 3.6 from [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]. Please keep in mind that not only is Firefox not receiving any updates (thus rendering it insecure), neither is Mac 10.4 or any of the plugins used on it. Running such an old Operating System is dangerous to your information's security on the internet. something for you to keep in mind.

HT203433 I purchased a song but noticed it doesn't appear in the playlist on my iPhone. I can see it under 'purchases' but can't play it. How do I get it onto the playlist?

I bought a song on iTunes but noticed it doesn't appear in my playlist. It is under 'purchases' but I can't play it and don't know how to move it to my playlist. I also tried downloading it again but can't. What should I do?

You can remove just one saved User ID, Email Address, or Password on Firefox the same way you do it on IE.
Click on the form that you have your saved User ID, Email or Password for. Press the down arrow key to bring up the username for the form that corresponds to the password or ID or Email address you want to delete.
Highlight the username by pressing on the down arrow key again or just highlight what you want deleted and then press the "DEL" or "DELETE" button on your computer.
This should remove the one you want to delete.
I did this with a User ID on Firefox that I had accidentally spelled wrong. It works.

How can I play POTC on the new version of mozilla firefox? Do I have to allow something else? Thank You.

I play Pirates of the Caribbean Online, but for some reason, after downloading the 4.0.1 version, I can't play it anymore. After allowing and clicking Install, it says I have to restart. When I do, it stays the same (just as if I have done nothing) and I repeat it all over again with no progress. Please, help :)
http://piratesonline.go.com/#/community/community-home.html

Hi there,
I have encountered another problem. I don't know if it's because I downloaded the new Firefox 5.0 (update), but for some reason, I can't download the new game update of POTC and can't play the game. When it finally does, the tutorial starts downloading and it always goes back again and starts downloading... never ending. Please, help. Sorry for bothering too much :) Have a wonderful day!

Firefox doesn't shut down properly (Win 7)

Firefox does not shut down (end process) after closing the browser, even after time has elapsed to allow for "file cleaning" and such. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate, Firefox 3.6.3, and a few plugins, a listed under the "installed plugins" area.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== FF 3.0 or thereabouts

I have the same problem. Unfortunately, I'm starting to use Internet Explorer more because this problem has become so annoying. If you are running a video when you close Firefox, it keeps running the video--you can hear it, but of course you can't get to it, so you have to start up the task manager to kill it.

Where can I download an earlier version of firefox. Version 4 does not shut down properly so when I start it again it says firefox is already running. I'm very close to going back to Internet Explorere

Firefox 4 doesn't shut down properly. If I close it and reopen it later it tells me firefox is already running and I end up restarting my computer.
This is the shits

You may still have a Croatian language pack installed if you didn't uninstall a previously installed Croatian version and checked the Firefox program folder for remnant leftover files.
* "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\chrome"
If you download the full en-US version and install that version then the language shouldn't change.

Does firefox has the feature of automatically shutting down the PC when active downloads complete?

Hello,
Does firefox has the feature of automatically shutting down the PC when active downloads complete?
This feature would help a lot..
Thank you.

No it doesn't, you would need an external download manager to get a feature like that.
