Firefox crashes as soon as I open it, it stays open long enough to see that a bogus toolbar was added on and I suspect that's the source of the problem, but how can I remove the add-on if I can't get FF to stay open long enough to get to the tool bar?
I downloaded Vuze last night and I think it must have installed some malware because firefox hasn't worked since and a Vuze tool bar has made its way into the browser. I am running a malware scanner but its not coming up with anything. Is there any way to manually delete add-ons or plug-ins or whatever they are without being in the program itself? Thanks!
I don't have a good sense of what is going wrong.
Was Firefox stable in step 3 -- open with no sessionstore.js file and then exit?
If that was stable, it might be easiest to cull the open URLs from your sessionstore.js file and re-open the most important ones manually. You will lose the ''detail'' of your session on those pages (e.g., data you had entered into a form), but if that's okay, it might be the next step.
I found a script on mozillaZine that will extract URLs from the sessionstore.js file; I just changed the formatting of the output. To run the script:
(1) Return to your profile folder and rename sessionstore.js to sessionstore.old again, then copy it to a convenient location
(2) Start Firefox (it should be in a new session)
(3) Open the following link, select all (Ctrl+a), copy (Ctrl+c) to copy the script to the clipboard: http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/sessionstore_reader.txt
(4) Open the <s>Error Console</s> <u>Browser Console</u> (Ctrl+Shift+j), click next to <s>Code</s> <u>the caret (>>)</u> and paste, then press Enter <s>or click Evaluate</s>
(5) A file selection window should appear. Navigate to the convenient location and open sessionstore.old from there.
(6) As long as the file is not corrupted, a new tab should open with a list of all the URLs the script found in the file. You can save this page for future reference if desired. Also, you can close the <s>Error</s> <u>Browser</u> Console now.

Firefox crashes as soon as I open it--I cannot even submit a crash report
Firefox crashes as soon as I open it. As far as I know, I haven't been able to submit crash report. I was playing Farmville when it crashed, about a month or two ago, and did submit a crash report then, all this in suppost has been no help, since I can't get Firefox to open in first place. I can only use IE now, so cannot go to about crashes in location bar.

I would recommend trying to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] - if that works, something within FF (extension of some kind) is probably the cause.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help other users with similar issues. -
When I go to a reply window, sometimes it almost looks like there is a little window/box appears (with the 6 dots that allows the size to be changed) It appears to be the cause of the string/code?
On the Web Wiz Forum, < id="gwProxy" ="">< ="ifofjsCall==''jsCall;elsesetTimeout'jsCall',500;" id="jsProxy" ="">
to be added once the reply is posted, to every reply that I make. Safe mode cures it but how do I know which add-on is the problem? I have 25-30 add-ons.Disable all addons by going to Tools -> Addons and clicking the disable button in every entry under Extensions or Plugins panels.
Restart Firefox.
Confirm the problem isnt there.
Enable each addon one by one by going to Tools -> Addons and clicking the enable button in every entry under Extensions or Plugins panels, in such a way that each time you enable ONE addon, you RESTART the browser and see if the problem STILL happens.
AS SOON AS the problem happens, disable the last addon you enabled. That one is the culprit. You can now enable all the others, if needed. -

How do you use Airport extreme at hotels etc, when traveling? I can plug my computer into the Airport with my ethernet but how does Airport pickup signal? What equipment & devices do I need to travel with to make this possible?
You may mean the AirPort Express.....not AirPort Extreme.....as the Express is a popular travel router.
The whole idea behind using this device is that the hotel must provide an Ethernet jack in the hotel room. Then you connect the AirPort Express to the Ethernet jack with an Ethernet cable and configure it to provide your own wireless network in the room. You still have to agree to terms, pay the fees, etc.
The problem with this approach is that it is getting very difficult to find hotels in North America that prrovide an Ethernet jack....most have moved to wireless networks and the others are not far behind.
So, if the hotel is already providing a wireless signal, the AirPort Express is of no use in that situation.
If you normally stay at the same hotels, and know that they provide Ethernet ports, an AirPort Express might make sense in terms of convenience. -

PS or LR ACR 7.3 does not support the D800 raw files, how do you remove ACR 7.3 so you can install ACR 7.1 ?

Uninstall PS/ LR completely and reinstall from the original media/ download. Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool if necessary.

Not so, Mylenium. It's relatively quick to downgrade Camera Raw with a download and a bit of fiddling. See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1143545 -
Firefox won't let me use any of the links-I can't add new links by clicking on the + box. I can't delete or add links. I can't even open one of the links at the top of this page
I'm not sure what you mean by "the + box". Is that a feature on one of your toolbars?

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time? -
I have an Iphone 5S and used to sync it to my computer in the past without any problem, but now I can't, and appears the message "usb device not recognized", and the cable is good and so the USB port. Do you have any idea what's the problem?
Try leaving it plugged in and then restart the computer.
If you are on Windows this link may help but it is a bit old.
