Firefox audio will loose device on a setting change. Process will not end on exit.

I will be listening to music on Firefox and then decide to change a bass enhancement setting via Windows sound.
The sound will cut out and required a full Firefox restart to come back. However, when I exit Firefox the process doesn't close and I have to end it manually via task manager.

    firefox 19 will not allow computer to shut down
    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
    any suggestions?

    from previous post "I get a notice that application firefox did not quite and system cannot shutdown. Firefox has logged out and stopped.
    what are you suggesting that i do from your post? I have only had the problem with scheduled shut downs?

  • Firefox 6 will not allow you to paste a cookie into the addressbar like all previous versions have. I use software to replace web chat and must do this and have been able to do it in all past versions. What's the deal?

    Thank you for your response.
    After searching around for any pointers to my problem, the above fixes I listed were the things that came closest to maybe addressing the issue, that I was able to locate. But since none worked, and as you pointed out, it is now clear they will only help towards viewing sent images rather than helping with inserting any images in the body of the email, which is the problem I suddenly started facing today.
    Coming to your suggestion, on opening the Write window, the Insert choice on the menu bar is indeed available. And I had already tried using that, by clicking on the '''Insert ----> Image''' option listed. That opens
    up the "Image Properties" box but using that has not resolved the matter either. It results in an image box getting inserted within the email but without the actual image itself.
    Plus, normally I am able to use the '''Paste''' function in the Edit menu or through right-click, but today the (Cut/Copy/Paste) functions have gone inactive, thereby disallowing me to use that to place an image within the email.

  • Firefox Window will not open/pop up, I only get a load/hourglass icon

    Firefox window will not open (at all) I simply get a load signal and then it stops.
    I have attempted a reinstall and it did not solve it (downloaded a torrent)
    Other programs work, I have msn so internet works as well
    I've tried restarts and resets of modem as well as tried using in safe mode and did a virous scan, as well I turned off my firewall to see if it was for some reason blocking the program, same results... consitering doing a computer wipe :(
    Just got internet explorer to run (without add ons) it was not work before as well (but at least the window popped up, it was just having a "not responding"
    any suggestions?

  • When I close firefox, it will not allow me reopen it unless I CTRL-ALT-DLT and force it to actually close, which at this point it is using up an average of 300,000k-450,000k. also, almost none of the links I click, open. i have to open it in a new tab.

  • Firefox 4 will not let me keep my bookmarks listed on the side bar. I can open them there but once I click somewhere else they go away.

    Firefox 4 will not let me keep my bookmarks listed on the side bar. I can open them there but once I click somewhere else they go away. On previous Firefox versions I could display my bookmark folders down the left side of my screen and just leave them there, accessing saved bookmarks when I needed to. Now with FF4 I can open a vertical column of my bookmark folders by clicking on bookmarks in the navigation bar but this won't stay there; if I click elsewhere they disappear. I could put a bookmark toolbar on my screen but this takes up more vertical space. I have lots of horizontal space that's unused. How can I go back to the display of bookmarks in previous versions?

    You can fix that by going to View -> Sidebar and click on Bookmarks.
    Or you could simply use a shortcut
    ''control + B''

  • Firefox 4 will not go to selected webpage; it just stays on the same page. I had to go back to Internet Explorer.

    Firefox 4 will not go to the selected webpage; the round arrow keeps turning and nothing happens or sometime it works after a minute or so. Internet Explorer works fine.

  • Firefox 4RC will not permit Trend Micro Toolbar

    Firefox 4RC will not permit the operation of the Trend Micro Toolbar add-in, this feature worked OK in Version 3.6

    This happens with every major Firefox upgrade. I went through this when upgrading from 2 to 3. For some reason it breaks certain third party plugins. It breaks my password manager, too. It takes months for an update from the vendors. I cannot believe that Firefox can't warn companies before making drastic changes. The big problem is that these are major security protection measures which are disabled by the browser. It is tiresome to have to tweak settings and disable critical extensions with each new upgrade.

  • Firefox 13 will not load video

    firefox 13 will not load video - live feed - from websites - other browser - says can not connect

    This can be caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update.

  • ITunes 11.01 on Windows 8 audio will not sync with video

    I have a new computer that is running Windows 8, and I have had no issues with iTunes 11.01 thus far on it other than the fact that when playing videos, the audio will not sync up with the video.
    With the ineptitude that seems to define Apple as of late, there does not seem to be any actual support for Windows 8, and the "support" channels do no good at all.
    Any ideas as how to fix this problem?

    I think Microsoft  made the Windows 8 incompatible with Apple products on purpose, they want windows users to have to download apps from their paid service which is more expensive than Apple's App/iTunes Store

  • What is wrong with Firefox ---It will not pull up anything the way it used to --having to use exployer instead ---Help

    What is wrong with Firefox ---It will not pull up anything the way it used to --having to use exployer instead ---Help
    The catalog of our University will not pull up properly on Firefox but will on internet exployer Why?

    The #rdn# is a url variable that is pass to this form from
    another page. I put it in a hidden filed and originallly used it as
    from.rdn. That did not make a difference, so I just used rdn.
    The cfoutput to display the rdn, partnumberid,
    deliverynumber, totalrows, and row, all display properly. I even
    use those in the query anlayzer and the update works.
    I will remove the crparam and see if that makes any
    difference. This is very frustrating since there are no error
    messages and I am led to believe the code works.
