Firefox 4 crashes when receiving a new email while being in Hotmail inbox.

Hi, I use Firefox 4 with Firebug, and I have a problem with Hotmail - while being in the inbox, meaning staring at old emails and doing no action, I received a new email. It entered the inbox, I saw a new line with it, however the Firebug shows: "ERROR: Empty string passed to getElementById().". It is a major problem since it crashes some of my add-ons!!! This error doesn't happen with FireFox 3.6 nor with any other browser (including IE9)
It crashes all JS Activities and addons crash :-(

I have the FF 4 and now FF 5 crash while using Yahoo! Mail problem. I'm running Fedora 15 64 bit with FF 5 and Fedora 14 64 bit with FF 4. Very consistent. Seems to require some time (hours) between crashes, but usually crashes while deleting an email.
I could not get support from any one (Yahoo!, Fedora, nor Mozilla) so I switched to Chrome 64 bit for Linux. No problems for DAYS since I've switched. Something Y!M is doing is crashing FF several times a day. No web page should be able to crash the browser.
Y!M was not very sympathetic when I contacted their support. I'm a paying customer after all. They told me they don't support Linux and I should "upgrade" to Windblows... Not a chance that is going to happen.
I have HUNDREDS of crash reports sent to Mozilla and with my email address and no one has contacted me about this.

Firefox 22 crashes when clicking a link in a thunderbird 3.011 email

I updated to FF 22 a couple of days ago and found that when I clik on a link in a Thunderbird email FF doesn't start but immediately crashes. Safe-mode does nothing to help. If I start the browser first it seems to be ok. It is set as the default browser. The only thing that fixed my problem was reverting to FF 21.
Windows XP SP2
I've never had issues with FF so this is a new thing. I've tried reinstalling FF 22 and upgraded Thunderbird. It didn't help either.

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox is crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

Opening in the sidebar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.
You can check the properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the sidebar (Ctrl+B; Command+B on Mac).
In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.
Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected.

I want a notification sound when I receive a new email

I have the sound turned on Windows 7 Enterprise, and I have checked in my Outlook 2010 to make a notification sound when I receive a new email, but no sound is made when I receive an email. Can anyone advise me how to get this to work?

Hi,
The sound option for new coming emails lies in: File tab -> Options -> Mail -> Message arrival -> Please confirm you have selected the checkbox
Play a sound.
If you only don’t get a sound when receiving emails from some specific senders, you may have set up some rules to manage incoming emails, please make sure you have selected the
Play a sound checkbox in the rules.
If there’s still no sound, please run Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if it’s related to 3rd-party add-ins:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
I hope this helps.

How do I stop receiving Mail alerts on the iPad? E.g when browsing Safari a Mail alert box will pop up when I receive a new email. I don't want this alert. Thanks.

How do I stop receiving Mail alerts on the iPad?
e.g. When browsing in Safari I will be interrupted by a 'ping' sound and a Mail alert box every time a new email comes in to my Inbox. This is irritating. How do I stop this? To see if I have new Mail I just prefer to go to Mail and my Inbox at convenient intervals.
Thank you.

The same way you'd change any notifications: Settings>Notifications>Mail. Change it to "Banner" or "None".

IOS 4 - Why does my phone vibrate twice when I receive a new email?

My email is set up as an exchange server for gmail. Whenever I receive a new email, it vibrates. I go to check the email, and it marks it as read. All is good, but then 15 minutes later, my phone vibrates again and makes the new email noise, even though there is no new email. Any ideas?
I have an iPhone 4

Settings > Sounds > Text Tone > Vibration > choose what you like.
I see you're new here. Here's a link to the iPhone User Guide.
Good day.

Firefox 4 crashes when loading pdf and other sites unless I first open it in safe mode and then revert

So firefox 4 crashes when opening in-browser pdfs and a whole host of other sites, even with no addons running.
I've found a fix: start in safe mode, then close and open in normal mode. This always solves the problem.
But '''why?''' What is causing this incredibly annoying problem. I went from happily browsing at high speeds (firefox 3.6) to suddenly finding myself propping my head on my arm, looking at a jammed firefox, trying not to go crazy, for about 2 minutes until it unjams (for pdfs - for the other sites it doesnt unjam) - and the pdf page ends up just black. God forbid I press F5 again lest I want to relive the experience.
This only happens on my work laptop. It's a top of the line laptop. It connects via a remote VPN. I'm not sure if that's relevant but I'm trying to give as much info as possible.

1. You have a pre-release Beta 1 version of what will become Firefox 4 in like 5 or 6 months. Unless you are intending to test it for flaws and report those flaws to help in the development process, don't use it.
2. Did you create a new Profile for 4.0b1, and are you using that Profile with it? ''That isn't done automatically when you install 4.0b1, and those of us who have been doing the "testing" for many years consider a new Profile as the basis of doing out testing.''
[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+Profiles]
IMO, Mozilla is making a huge mistake by directly offering these beta versions to the general public.
Also IMO. if you want to play with 4.0b1, use the Portable Firefox 4.0beta version to minimize any conflicts with a currently installed version of Firefox, and to eliminate the need for creating a new Profile for 4.0 Beta #:
Download Firefox Portable Test to your hard drive and double click the '''FirefoxPortableTest_4.0_Beta_#_English.paf.exe''' file. The entire installation (including a new Profile for "Portable") will be self-contained in the \Program Files\FirefoxPortableTest\ folder and won't interfere with an "official" version that you already have installed. Your Profile will be in the \Program Files\FirefoxPortableTest\Data\profile\ folder.
The "down side" is that Firefox Portable won't launch if any other version of Firefox is already running.

HT4623 I have an iPad but can't download movie clips when received in either email or iPhoto. What do I have to do?

I have a new Ipad but cant download movie clips when received on eihter email or from Iphoto. My friend sent me a small holiday movie clip taken on Iphoto but I cant download it. What do I have to do?

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, as your tagline says that you have iOS 4 then you can only update via your computer's iTunes, as described half-way down the page that you posted from.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes and selecting 'Backup' (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC)
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
You can only update a device to the highest iOS version that it supports, which for a first gen iPad is is iOS 5.1.1, and for other iPads is iOS 6.1.3

PSE8 crashes when I try to email photos using Adobe Email Service

The PSE8 Organizer crashes when I attempt to email photos. In the 2 months that I have owned this program it has crashed several other times, but the current problem with emailing photos always occurs at the same step in the process. I have read all the Help topics related to emailing from this program and it appears that my computer is set-up correctly. The email client is selected as Adobe Email Service. I have received a "verification code", although I have never gotten far enough into the process to enter it. I'm able to go through all the steps to create the email (selecting the photos, typing a message, and selecting recipients). A preview of the email briefly appears, but the program crashes before the hourglass goes away - so I never get to click on "send".
Is there a bug in the program? Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
Thank you

Hi Sourabh: Many thanks for the courtesy of your
response. Last night I again tried sending a
test image to my wife's computer. I am pasting a
copy of what comes through. There is no actual
image but only this "text" of letters, numbers
and characters which I presume is the ingredients
of an image. I have cut off some of the pasted
message since it is quite long and I only want to
convey a sample so as to show what come
through. Got any ideas? Thanks again. Ed

Hello Deb,
Something fishy going on with those particular files. But without looking at them directly I couldn't say what. Usually in a case like this the problem is some of the metadata that is attached to the file. Where did these files come from? A camera, a scanner, the internet?
An explanation about the Watched Folder function: It looks for changes to a folder, not just automatically grabbing whatever files are in it. Generally, you want to select an empty folder as a Watch Folder. Once this has been set up, as you add files to this folder they will be imported into the Organizer. If you start with a folder full of images, those will be ignored, any new items will be added.

Switches to email tab without being clicked when i recieve new email

So far a D for FireFox.
Chrome was SLoooooow. But FF does things without being told to
This is what I was afraid of!!!!!!
I like to keep my email tab onscreen so I can look at email when it arrives. But now FF switches to that tab without being clicked. when I get new email.
How do I stop this very very aggravating issue? Can't type, cant even click, Nothing will work until the message is seen in "new mail". THEN I can switch back to the tab I'm using.
Also how do I have FF open Adobe reader to view PDFs . All I get is a blank background.

If Safe Mode solves the issue, the behavior will be related to an Add-on.
Just disable all of them and start activating one by one until you replicate the behavior. The last one that you have activated will be the one that is causing the behavior.

Firefox keeps crashing when I search something up on Google

Firefox keeps crashing when I search something up on Google. The homepage for Google works fine but once I search for anything, the program just freezes. Whats wrong? I am running the new Firefox 4.0, Windows 7 64-bit. This problem never happened with Firefox 3.6

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
