Firefox 8 will not hold its proxy setting

I must reset the proxy everytime I launch Firefox 8 because I get the following message:
The proxy server is refusing connections
Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.
Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is
working.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    Since updating my macbook pro to IO X Mavericks, my iCloud email account will not hold its password.  Apple support cannot provide a resolution. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Have you tried - in Mail go to the menu Mail > Preferences.
    When the Preferences Pane opens, click on the Accounts Tab.
    Click on your iCloud Account to select it.
    Click on the Advanced tab.
    Set Authentication to Apple Token.

  • Msnbc will not hold its setting..local weather,news needs to be reset every time firefox is opened

    When I open firefox, the settings for msnbc I have set default to a different city and local news. When I reset them and save them on msnbc's websit and close the browser, they once again default to the wrong city.

    No, the app does not have to completely restart. It gets shifted in its open state into storage. Similar to how a computer uses the hard disk when it has insufficient memory.
    What complicates things is that sometimes memory does not get returned for reuse when you close an app. Thus yo should periodically double click the Home button and "delete" unnecessary apps from the multitasking dock and power off and then back on the iPod.

  • FF 6.0.2 on Windows XP will not keep "no proxy setting", have reset manually many times

    FF 6.0.2 keeps reseting to manual proxy setting. Windows XP system. Have reset to "no Proxy" many times but it resets to manual when I close browser.

    Same thing happens with JDK 1.7u45

  • After being dropped in water my Ipod will only work when hooked up to the computer or docking station.  It will not hold a charge.  What do I need to do?

    My son dropped his Ipod in some water, we put in a bag of rice overnight and it works fine when connected to the computer or docking statioon but it will not hold its charge once it is off the cable & not hooked up, so he cannot listen to it unhooked..  Any suggestions on what to do?  Thanks!!

    Take it to an Apple store. Most likely you will have to get a replacement for which you will be charged the replacement fee.
    Rice only absorbs water. But it cannot prevent damage to the device.

    Ever since I updated InDesign CC (2014) approximately 22 days ago... I CANNOT get the welcome screen to not come on at the launch on InDesign. I set the preferences in InDesign to NOT show the welcome screen upon launch, but it will NOT hold the preferences i choose. Anyone else have any other ideas? I am about to lose my mind... I hate you ADOBE!!!

    that s just the problem, that is why my level of frustration is boiling over ... I have told InDesign over and over again "Do Not Show Again" but it will just not hold the settings. It might hold it for a day or so, but then suddenly there it is again on another launch. Very very annoying.

  • Why is my location city changed by Firefox to a town I don't live in? I put in my zip code in the weather info and it will not hold it no matter what I do. This is very frustrating and never a problem in the past. IE doesn't have the problem. Help?

    1) Is it a video clip? Something you recognize?  To be clear, it's displaying at a point in your exported movie but doesn't appear at all in the sequence?
    2) What are your sequence settings?  Right-click your sequence and choose "Item Properties" to verify.

  • When are you going to make GOOGLE TOOLBAR compatible with the latest version of firefox, i will not update to version 8 until its compatible

    Question
    When are you going to make GOOGLE TOOLBAR compatible with the latest version of firefox, i will not update to version 8 until its compatible

    It's not going to happen. Google announced withdrawal of their Google Toolbar.
    Using Google Toolbar features without toolbars - MozillaZine Knowledge Base
    :http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_Google_Toolbar_features_without_toolbars
    The Google Toolbar will not be updated for Firefox 5 or later Firefox versions. ([http://googletoolbarhelp.blogspot.com/2011/07/update-on-google-toolbar-for-firefox.html reference]) Google finally decided that their [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions problematic extension] is beyond repair for the little benefit added for Firefox users. Google as with other browsers is eliminating or making toolbars less accessible.
    Consider the features that you are using and see if you can match up features from the list created by Google and by Firefox users.

  • HT4623 My ipad is not holding its charge.  A 100% charge will only last a half day depending how much I use it

    My ipad in not holding its charge.  A 100% will only last a half of a day depending on how long I use it.  2yrs in december

    batteries can only hold a full charge for so many years and you say yours is almost 2 years out.  Also, of course battery time will fluctuate depending on how you use it.

  • Photos will not allow me to set the key picture for the album or event

    Photos will not allow me to set the key picture for the album or event - it is set to grey !
    Anyone else had this and found why ?
    new PHOTO app replacing iPhoto bugs/ Problems OTHER PROBLEMS :
    - no longer has a five star rating system
    - my keywords for selecting albums are gone.
    - cannot copy location of one photo to another
    - cannot have an album with  keywords AND rating > a value
    - cannot set key photo of album/event
    - multi parameter search feature gone
    Anyone got any ideas how to get around this terrible downgrade of the software ?
    BTW I have just discovered that iPhoto and its' libraries are still there, so I can go back but be left behind and frozen in time on this version if I do.
    Photos now take up 700Gb whereas it was 350Gb  #@!$#@!@#!@#
    Thanks

    That are all good points - but Photos is a completely new application. and it is only version 1.
    Continue to use iPhoto, girraween; the next update to Photos will probably add a few more features.
    iPhoto 9.6.1 is working very well with MacOS X 10.10.3.
    The migration let iPhoto installed and also your iPhoto Library will still work with iPhoto.
    If you did not uninstall iPhoto, it will still be there in your Applications folder.  And if you had updated to the latest version iPhoto 9.6.1 before you upgraded to MacOS X 10.10.3,  you can simply drag iPhoto back to the Dock from your Applications folder and continue to use it. Double click iPhoto and confirm, that you want to open iPhoto and not Photos.   It is not compulsory to use Photos, while it it still the first release. When you launch iPhoto, you will see a warning, that the iPhoto Library has been migrated to Photos, but simply click the "Open iPhoto" button.The library will still work with iPhoto. ()see: If Photos won't open a library that you already migrated - Apple Support
    If your iPhoto version is not iPhoto 9.6.1, you need to update it.
    See this User Tip:
    Usually it will work to reinstall instead of updating:
    Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
    The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.
    Meanwhile you may want to send a feature request to Apple using the feedback form. Apple - Photos - Feedback
    I hope, Apple will listen and add more features to Photos to make it usable for large Photo Libraries.

    I have my computer set to shutdown at 2 pm and at 2 a notice comes up and starts to count down for 10 min. Firefox and thunderbird are still running. at the end of 10 min I get a notice that application firefox did not quite and system cannot shutdown. Firefox and thunderbird have stopped

  • Everytime I load upgraded Firfox 3.6.6 I get an error message saying the new version does not accept the proxy setting.

    Every time I load the newest version of Firefox 3.6.6 it says it is not accepting the proxy setting. Since I've never had a problem like this, I don't know how to correct it.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    In Firefox 3.6.4 the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".
    See "Connection settings": [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]]
    You can find the connection setting here: Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select ''No Proxy''

  • Battery not holding its charge

    My iPad battery is not holding its charge

    How long does it stay charged?
    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or - Recalibrate the battery. See link below.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

    You can't setup an iCloud account using a PC. You need a Mac, or an IOS device. You can sign into iCloud on your PC once you open an account.
