I could not find any info on whether this is malware or not on the internet. Windows Defender, Avast, and Anti-SuperSpyware did not find a problem.
But the Casual games window, that was coming up when I tried to open aol mail, went away after I uninstalled all versions of Firefox (including personal customization, addons and cookies) and did a clean install of Firefox.

Firefox crashes when I try to use DataLoad, and I was able to use this program a month ago.

In the recent past I have been able to use a program called DATALOAD (shareware) to load data into Firefox web forms (specifically web based sales tax returns).
However, now every time I try it now Firefox crashes, so I am forced to use IE (which I hate). The last time I used Dataload was in April 2011 (for my quarterly tax returns).
On of the latest updates to Firefox must have a conflict with this program.
Can you please research to see what changed in Firefox to make it crash when using Dataload? I do not want to use IE if I do not have to.

Hmmm, That is very odd. What is the link you are using? Are you logged
in to YouTube?

Firefox crashes when opening any page especially email

Firefox has suddenly started to crash when I open up any page but especially when I click through an email. I don't have a problem when I fire up Firefox by clicking the icon in my task bar, it's only when I want to view a page in any other way.
Does anyone know how I can fix this issue, I'm not very technically minded so step by step would be most appreciated.

Hi Madperson
One of my crash reports is as follows :-
AdapterDeviceID: 0x0046
AdapterDeviceID: 0x8086
Add-ons: (D19CA586-DD6C-4a0a-96F8-14644F340D60):14.4.1,(d40b90b4-d3b1-4d6b-a5d7-dc041c1b76C0):3.13.0.6(336D0C35-8A85-403a-B9D2-65C292C39087):2.0.0.441,(841468a1-d7f4-4bd3-84e6-bb0f13a06c64):1.300.426,(4ED1F68A-5463-4931-9384-8FF5ED91D92)3.4.1.195,[email protected]:12.1.1084,(972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd):12.0,userzoom_tool@jetpack:3.2
I'm not saying this crash report is bang on accurate because I had to copy it out by hand, but I did my best. There may be other crash reports but as I was only able to copy them by hand I didn't make a note of them, so when they happen again I will do so. I hope this crash report helps you solve my Mozilla issue.
Thank you

Firefox crashes when i click on the email description in Gmail in order to take me to that website

on the 'Mail' page of Gmail if i click on the email title on the opening page in order to access the website for that particular service - i.e. Which Magazine, Firefox crashes - it doesn't do this in safe mode.

Mobile me has been discontinued for over a year. What system and iPhoto versions are you running?

Why do I keep getting prompted to use the Acrobat XI Trial when I already have Acrobat XI Pro? How do I get this to stop?

Every time I open a PDF file, I get prompted with an Acrobat XI Pro message that asks me if I want to "License This Software" or "Continue Trial". I signed a year commitment about 3 months ago and continue to be billed for Acrobat Pro XI, so I'm not sure why I'm getting this message. It says I only have 23 days remaining on my "Trial", so not sure if it will revert back to the software I bought at that point or not. It is quite annoying having to deal with the pop up every time though, so would prefer to fix it, if possible.

Hi Tom,
You might need to accept the end user license when prompted following the on-screen instruction.
Let me know if it works fine.

I delete my Firefox Sync account. I cannot use my regular email address. How can I get it to accept my regular email address?

I delete my Firefox Sync account by mistake. I cannot use my regular email address to create an account for syncing with my iphone and ipad.. How can I get it to accept my regular email address?

Did you really delete that Sync account?
Does it work if you ask for a new password?

Firefox crashes when I am trying to send e mails. It says, "Oh, this is embarrasing" when I try to sign on. Runs for awhile and then crashes. Why?

I have an HP desktop computer with Windows Vista. I started having trouble in Dec with going to my home page. Mozilla would come up with a page saying, "Oh, this is embarrasing. We cannot connec to "
So I clik on restart and I get my home page. I go to my Hotmail and read my e mails...but when I try to respond to them, I get the message that Firefox has crashed.
I can generally answer at least one e mail before it does that.
Oddly, a blue bar appears across the bottom of the screen at times and then my typing slows way down and then totally stops.
At that point, I cannot do anything...can't clik on anything, can continue typing, cant send.
If I close the e mail I get the "Firefox has crashed" message.
I have thoroughly cleaned my machine and there are no viruses or worm or bugs of any kind. I have called HP and the techs at Staples and they both say it is a software problem.
I have deleted Firefox and re installed it but it does no good. What can I do to fix this frustrating problem?
Thanks for your help.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Firefox crashes when I select FILE then OpenFile, and sometimes it lets me get to a file list, but when I select that it crashes

This has been an ongoing problem, and it does not occur with IE, Opera, Chrome, Browzar, Safari or Avant browsers.
If I click "File" and then "Open File" it will frequently crash. Sometimes I can navigate to an actual filename in a director, however clicking on that file to open it will crash it. The files can be text files, web pages or photos. It crashes equally among them, or any other file I try to open. There are approximately 65 forwarded messages created by my browser and sent each time this happens but I have never heard from anyone at Firefox about it.

Ooops. I haven't updated my sig in a while. I'm on 10.8.2 and it happens on a late 2008 Alu Macbook.

HT5621 My ipad recognizes and old email address for icloud. When I go to change the address it sends me an email verification email that says click the link THAT DOES NOT EXIST IN THE EMAIL!! How do I get this changed?

I cannot get my icloud email address changed, but I no longer have that email address. So it is sending an email to an address that no longer exists, yet I cannot get it to change to my current email address. WHen I walk through the process, it sends me an "verificaiton email" that DOES NOT have the link in it to verify. UGH

Welcome to the Apple community TMOZINGO.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Cannot place a new Bookmark in Firefox 3.5.7 on my mac 10.5.8... how do I get this function to work?

On my G4 powerbook running 10.5.8 and Firefox 3.5.7 I cannot enter a new bookmark. I can access all bookmarks and edit but cannot add a new bookmark. Solution?
I would like to upgrade Firefox also but not sure what version of Firefox I can run on this computer.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Yahoo does not display properly in firefox 31.0 but will show correctly in IE. How do I get this fixed?

I have cleared cookies and cache, updated Firefox to 31.0 but it still keeps happening. I have even accessed my Yahoo email through the ATT site because I have an sbcglobal.net address. Nothing works. I can see my Yahoo email just fine through Internet Explorer but would prefer to do all of my internet related work via Firefox. I have no idea what to do.

Try disabling McAfee and see what happens.
I use Norton 360.

The FaceTime app doesn't show up on the home screen. When i go to settings to enable FaceTime even then the FaceTime option doesn't show up. How do i get this fixed?

help!!!!

Hello aalifaa,
The information detailed below can help you locate Facetime.
If you can't use FaceTime or find the FaceTime app, follow these steps. FaceTime might not be available, or might become unavailable, on devices purchased or used in certain countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Check your device's region of purchase for more information.
In Settings > General > Restrictions, make sure FaceTime and Camera are on. Disabling Camera also disables FaceTime.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Restore your device:
Back up your device to iCloud or iTunes.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase all user data from your device.
When complete, set up your device by selecting your region and language, then restore your data using the iCloud or iTunes backup. When you set up and restore a backup from iTunes, make sure that your computer's language, country, date, and time are set correctly.
If you still can't find the FaceTime app, see if you can go to Settings > FaceTime. If Settings > FaceTime is present, try using the Spotlight Search to find the FaceTime app.
