I am using IE to post this message on Firefox.
It has happened again. At 23:05 (UK time) I openedFirefox on the firefox site not IE. I opened my btinternet.com email account but at 23:41 the tab had not opened fully and still trying to load. I closed firefox and tried to open it again and here are the correct details of the dialogue box which appeared.
' (?) Firefox is already running. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox proces, or restart your system'.
I cannon do a restart at present as the tv part of my pc is recording a movie so I will try again later.
Anyone out there that can help us please? Thank you.

Problem is on a Dell Studio XPS desktop with the i7 processor. Current version used is 3.6.13, although the problem occurred with previous version, and only occurs intermittently. Does not seem to be time related. Sometimes, though not always, there will be two copies of Firefox open in the Task Manager "processes". When I close Firefox, and reload, runs fine until the next time.

IOS 6 update - status bar goes a bit, then shuts down and its hot
Updating to IOS 6. I am at the point where I see a black screen with a white apple and a status bar under the apple. The status bar barely moves but it is currently at about 35%. After a bit, it goes blank and then it resumes the same process.
I have it plugged into my PC so it has power.
Is this normal? It's been happening for about 20 minutes now. Plus I can probably turn my heater off since the iPhone seems to be providing me warmth. Is it supposed to get hot during an update?
How long before I cancel the IOS update and probably my Verizon contract for this phone and any/everything to do with Apple products?Just needed to wait for it to get done. Apparently, that is how long an update happens
Anyway, issue resolved. -
Why always i need to close Firefox.exe from task manager when visiting some websites?
Hello dear Mozilla team! I just defaced to the problem , when i'm trying to visit http://cyberprogrammers.net/ website from Firefox browser, its frozen and i need to close firefox.exe from task manager. <a href="http://cyberprogrammers.net/">Cyber Programmers</a> website is working perfect with other browsers, and i try to open it with my friends computer, with Firefox browser and i don't get any error like that, its not frozen. So please help me to understand the problem and solve it. I'm using Latest version of firefox, Windows 8.1. Thanks for your support!
Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem. -
I cannot open some of my books I purchased. They're locked like awaiting an update. There's a blank update status bar on the books. What's wrong?
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Trying to update iPhone 5.1.1 and it says unable to install update. An error occurred installing iOS 5.1.1
If you did the update through iTunes, try going into the Settings App on your iPhone and doing the Software Update in there. The same thing happened to me, and the wireless update worked.

Did the lastest Apple update and now my Mac has gray screen with spinning gear and a status bar goes to half then turns computer off....help?

Whenever i try to update my macbook pro, it downloads then says I need to restart my computer. I restart the computer, and everything just freezes. When my computer eventually turns back on, its not updated. other apps i try to download dont download also
First, do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
When you complete the above re-download your OS X upgrade (not sure which one that is, but I assume Mavericks.) After the download is completed re-install it. Hopefully, this time it will do what you expect. -
I like the feature of the PDF being opened on the new tab on firefox browser's windows. But the newer version (3.6 or 4.0) will automatically open PDF in a pop up adobe apps. How do I keep the PDF open on the new tab as before like the 3.5 ver.? I want the PDF opened in the new tab rather than in the Adobe's app's pop up window. Could you help?

Running FF 8.0 on Windows 7 (64-bit) -
I have windows 7 professional. My son is taking an online class (digital photography) which uses Blackboard 8 Academic Suite. Last week photos stopped uploading successfully. Blackboard's solution is to use Firefox 2.0.0.20. I had to uninstall Firfoz 3.6.9, and install the earlier version from a link provided by Blackboard. It worked, however Firefox popped up a message saying that this version is no longer supported and that I should update to 3.6
Depending upon which version of WebCT your school is using, you will have to use Firefox 3.5.x, Firefox 3.0.x, or Firefox 2.0.0.20 when accessing the Blackboard site.
My advice is to install the Firefox Portable version that you need for Blackboard on your computer, and use that installation only for Blackboard. Continue to use 3.6 for all other web browsing.

I have been having trouble connecting to my wifi on my ipad mini but my iPod is just fine......it will connect and then say "Unable to connect to network" I've tried resetting my ipad mini and turning off my router for 30 seconds and its not working.
What TC do you have? Model number direct from the base is a big help, it will be A1 followed by 3 numbers.. eg
A1409 Gen 4.. The new AC is A1470
How is it setup?
I need the whole network setup. what modem/router, how is the TC connected etc??
I also need to know what IP the ipod gets, so I can see what mode the TC or network router is working in. -
I get a notice that says a security and stability update is recommended for Fire Fox 3.6.15. When I click to update a bar appears showing attempt to contact but nothing ever updates.
Sometimes the updater gets in a funny state - Go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and download the full installer. Close Firefox and run the installer

I entered my debit card for a app latter when I went to update all it asked password as usual then said sign in required took me to page sayin my card has been declined use alternate I don't have alternate but now it won't let me download free apps niether
Do you have enough funds in your bank account?
otherwise iTunes sometimes black lists card if there are too many fradulent purchases
Reason why they might black list a card is possibly you call in for alot of fradulent purchases
One more reason can be because iTunes does actually limit the amount you can change payment methods
Call AppleCare Phone support and have your call directed to iTunes Store

Firefox will not open - disappears from Task Manager after a few seconds
Everything was working perfectly fine last night. I turn on the computer this morning, try to open firefox - nothing. I click it and there's not even an error message or anything. In the Task manager, the firefox.exe appears in the Processes tab for a couple of seconds then it just disappears. I've tried running the computer in Safe Mode to open it, still nothing. I tried the Firefox Safe Mode option, still won't open. I uninstalled, then reinstalled, that didn't help.
Any suggestions? IE works fine, but I really hate using it.A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.<br />
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 and the plugin-container process.<br />
