FIREFOX AND IE SHUTS DOWN ON CERTAIN SITES. WHY? IVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM UNTIL RECENTLY
SOMETIMES IN YAHOO MAIL, AND ON CRAIGS LIST, AND ALWAYS ON TROPICANA OJ FIREFOX AND IE SHUT DOWN. IVE RELOADED FIREFOX AND IT STILL DOESNT WORK
It's odd that both browsers shut down. One thing I notice from your "More system details" is that you don't have the latest Flash player plugin, at least for Firefox. You can check your version and update here:

Hopefully that will help if the crashes are caused by Flash (e.g., rich media advertisements).

Wifi keeps scanning and dropping even after connected to home network. Never had this issue until the update, and now my phone runs slow and terrible. Horrible update!! Any ideas on a fix?
It's important that you have a steady WiFi connection, ZealousEdge. What phone do you have? Is your phone unable to connect to any WiFi network? If you can, please try deleting the saved WiFi network and re-adding it.

After seeing the production of Matilda in London I purchased the whole sound track and it did not completely load. I've never had this problem before so I just forgot about it. Today I am downloading an album only to find out it's missing the voacals. Do I have to start just settling for these kinds things. I'm feeling taken.
Hello MarkFKenny,
If you feel that there is an issue with a purchase made, you can report an issue with said purchase to the folks in our iTunes Store.

After burning CD tried to print jeweled case insert and playlist is typed over. Never had this problem until most recent update to newest version of Itunes
Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.) -
Firefox won't shut down properly. I am running 3.6.8 on a Mac and usually I have to force quit to get it to shut down. This has only begun recently. If I knew how to roll back to a previous version I would and save you the trouble, but alas, I do not.
I'm having this same problem. I am going uninstall Firefox and install Google Chrome. This is ridiculous that there is NO solution Mozilla can provide us! I can't shutdown my Mac because Firefox won't shutdown. I got a script error message, tried to STOP or CONTINUE To no avail.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

I have a gateway NV53A laptop. My homepage has always been http://www.yahoo.com/?ilc=1. Suddenly about 2 days ago, it started coming up as Mozilla.org and no matter what I do it will not stay as the yahoo.com homepage. I have followed every one of the directions listed for people who had the same kind of problem and it will fix it until I shut down or restart the computer. If I have to just get rid of Mozilla I will do that because I have now spent 2 days on this and I'm sick of it. I have done the thing with the preferences, the thing with setting up your homepage, the thing with getting rid of the pref.js and it just comes back and it still goes to firefox. I have right clicked the pref tab and it isn't locked. So if you can help me then that would be great but I have just about decided it is a lost cause.

On sites that I have been using for many months with no problem, when I click to go to the next screen (like 'continue'), it doesn't go to the screen. I get a bar and have to click 'Allow'. This is happening continuously on screens where it didn't do it before. If it were occasional I wouldn't mind. But it happens all the time. What was changed in Firefox to cause this problem. It has really been a pain paying bills online.
What is the message to the left of the Allow button? Hopefully with that information we can advise on changes to your settings to resolve the issue.
You also could supply a URL of a site that has this problem, assuming we don't need an account to check it out. -
I always used firefox but after a recent upgrade of software it would no longer load the site There was a problem with connecting through my hub. I had to use ie which works OK. I'm sorry I cannot be more specific. Maybe I could try it again. I have 2 disk VAIO and load Firefox onto disc d - not c. Reason being c is very full and I try to download everything onto D which has stacks of room
Lacking any responses to my initial post above, I will briefly update how I resolved this issue today.
Installed new external hard disc, 1 TB WD My Passport for Mac, and straightforward setup involving first installing current OS X operating system, then system migrator utility to rebuild the same setup as saved in latest Time Machine backup. The whole process was somewhat time consuming due to my internet connection speed and USB data transfer speeds but it went without any issues. The computer now boots up and operates identical in all respects to how it did before the problem occurred.
Regarding the internal HD of my iMac, if I now run Disc Utility to verify the disc, it reports "appears to be OK". However, viewing the disc usage in "About This Mac" window, it displays as entirely empty. Opening it in the finder also shows only a "Apple Hot News.mbox" file and a single .jpeg image, and .nothing else.
Interestingly, the Bootcamp partition of my iMac's internal HD continues to work fine and appears unaffected by the problem. I use bootcamp rarely but still will plan to set up a replacement bootcamp volume on the new hard disc soon, in order to take its place.
That the problem surfaced coincident with the software update may have been nothing more than bad luck? At this point I have no reason to suspect that the softward update had anything to do with the difficulties. -
I reformatted my computer a few days ago and reinstalled firefox. I then added to my bookmark tabs from memory. Every time I bring up the browser, the tabs are rearranged so I have to reorder them they way I want. Some of the tabs don't even drag.

Ive had my credit card information stolen at least 2 times since i used firefox. I unistaled firefox untill this issue can be resoved i use spybot ani-spyware and avast antivirus.
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== First time accured in february 2009 and again in may 2010 ==
== User Agent ==

Any help would be really appreciated!
I doubt that's it. I've had it since 08 and Pages, Keynote and Numbers were all there and in full working order for years. I did upgrade my OS. But that was a few months back and I've used these applications since then. I don't know why I would have to repurchse iWork after 3 years.

when I go to open a page, it is very slow opening, or may not open at all........circle just goes around.....this is true for any site......mail, sites I have visited many times.......never had a problem until I upgraded to firefox4.......do I need to change firewall settings? If I do, how?
Just updated adobe, it crashes more than not......First I already have my view set to show everything so that is not the problem.
But I just tried opening "Computer" from the start button then type in profiles.ini in the address bar and hit enter. The profile manager opened with my profile listed. I selected it and hit start firefox and it opened as it should.
I closed it again and tried to open it from the shortcut in my task bar and I got the Sorry window.
But then I tried to open it from the short cut you get when you press the start button and program list and it work!
I went back to my desk top and tried the short cut on the desk top and it worked.
So I deleted the short cut on the task bar and created a new one and it worked.
I rebooted the computer and tried again and the task bar shortcut works and has the right profile.
So it seems that the problem is that the short cut was corrupted and was causing the error that caused the program to fail to open.
I had no idea a shortcut could do that. In the past I have had short cut stop working but never do what this one did.
I still have no idea where the profiles.ini is. -
Trying to upload pictures to a website, but it doesn't work. After going thru the whole process, I get a message saying; the server attempted to redirect you. Server redirection is not supported. This only happened after I updated Firefox. Never had this problem before.

The product images on certain websites i go to on my ipad do not appear (ie. gap)? I never had this problem before...what could be causing this?
Thanks for your input however, what I don't understand is that some of the product images do appear on the site but not all images? The first 10 product pics appear but then, it's just the product descriptions after that with no images? I find it strange that it used to work on this particular site (mainly Gap and Old Navy) and now it doesn't? I do a lot of online shopping there so it's unfortunate. I contacted their online support and they said to download the Opera Mini App but that didn't work...I see even less images? If I visit the site on my Ipod Touch or my Macbook, I see all images, no problem? Not sure what the problem is?
