Firefox does not load, instead it gives me an error and asks to send a report. I have sent 6-10 reports and not response. Can I just reload the website. Although then I loose all my bookmarks, etc. so I'd rather fix what I have.

the error box says Mozilla crash reporter. It says Firefox will try to restart with tabs and windows when it restarts. Then when I restart, it crashes again. How can I restart it without it trying to restore that session? I would like to not lose my toolbar and bookmarks by reinstalling.

If you weren't able to sync the purchases to a computer previously and now your iPod needs to be restored so you can't sync it now, then you may be out of luck and will need to purchase your content again. Officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications and iBooks. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places.
You can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the "Music Purchases" or "Video Purchases" category, as appropriate, then "Lost or Missing Items". You'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) ") and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it.
Good luck.

While updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

When I click on a link Firefox does not allow me to go to the link

When I click on a link Firefox does not go the link.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Along time ago.

I think i've found how to fix this issue when it appears. Don't know what caused it to happen, but that's up to the devs.
In Thunderbird, you need to re-register http and https to make them open with Firefox (or open well with firefox in this case).
How to to this?
Well... open the about:config in thunderbird. You can achieve this by clicking configuration-editor in the advanced tab.
search for the strings: network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https and network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http. Set both to "true".
The next time you click on a link from within Thunderbird, it will ask you to set wich program you'd like to open it with.
Be Aware now!!! Firefox may already be listed in there, but don't pick that one. instead... choose to browse for the app and point to the binairy/exe of firefox.
(for example: /usr/bin/firefox or c:/program files/mozilla/firefox.)
You will notice that firefox now does open up with the page you just clicked on.
If it doesn't right away... just restart thunderbird and check again.
Please respond if this works for you too on all platforms. It's more interesting to know it does than if it's not.
Greetz,
Kenny

The new version of firefox does not shut down when I close the browser it continues running in the background. In addition it opens Adobe Reader for a brief time and then that closes. Everything worked fine before this new version.

Firefox automatically loaded a new version recently. The new version does not shut down when I close the browser it continues running in the background. In addition it opens Adobe Reader for a brief time and then that closes. Everything worked fine before this new version.

I am having the identical trouble as described above with my month old Macbook Air. I tried everything with the ditto results. Please help anyone!
Mine is a Macbook Air 13', 128GB, 1.86GHz with 4 GB RAM.

My firefox does not open, when I click on the icon nothing happens

My firefox does nothing at all.

Also having the same problem.
I have tried the following with no luck.
*Uninstalling and deleting profile + profile.ini then reinstalling
*deleting the .parentlock file
*deleting and reinstalling version 3.6.8.dmg
*Checked the activity monitor that the application isn't listed as running
*Downloaded addtrap and uninstalled again
all with no luck.
Try some of these first as they might fix your problem but not mine! ;)
If anyone knows of something I may be missing I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

When I run my Webroot Clean -Up feature Firefox browser windows turn into tiny columns on the left of my screen and I have to unintall and reinstall to get it to display properly but then I loose all my bookmarks --- WHY?!?

this has happened every time I have run the clean-up feature. It is messing with some sort of setting in Firefox because if I uninstall Firefox and don't get rid of all my customizations (there is an option to keep/discard these upon un-installation) when I reinstall, I get the same problem...any ideas?!?

Why don't you stop using that program if it isn't working properly and corrupts your Firefox installation?

Firefox does not open when i click on the icon or menu path

when i click on the desktop icon or go through the menu path to open firefox, the computer will run it but nothing appears. apparently, firefox is still running in the background but i cant get to it. so whenever i try to edit another program that involves firefox, i have to go to the task manager to manually shut it down.
i tried running it in safemode but it does the same thing. furthermore, i deleted the whole program and reinstalled it hoping that that might fix the problem. however that did not work, i have searched all the offered support and have come up dry.
i am running the current firefox version and i am using a windows 7 professional operating system

Hi,
It could be that a security software installed in the system is blocking the new updated Firefox executable. You may have to go into the settings of the security software to re-trust Firefox.
Please also check if you are able to start Firefox by browsing to the Firefox installation folder ('''Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\''' or '''Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\''' ) and clicking '''firefox'''.

Firefox Does Not Display Topics When Using "#" in the URL

I'm currently having a problem with Firefox not opening
context-sensitive help links using URLs, rather than map IDs. For
example, if the URL is
http://www.myhelp.com/index.htm#custom_topic.htm,
Firefox will load the page as expected (except it appears to
continue loading the page, which is another issue that is discussed
in another forum), but either immediately loads the parent topic
(if the requested topic is a subtopic in a book) or displays a
"Page Cannot Be Displayed" error. It's peculiar in that the correct
topic loads (the one after the octothorpe), but Firefox (or
WebHelp--I'm not sure who's to blame here) then goes to the parent
topic or displays the error. Any guesses?

I agree with Peter's obervation about test projects.
Let me suggest some patches. They may cure the
load-topic/reload-default-topic misbehavior.
In the output file whtbar.js look for this line:
else
if(sType=="hide2"&&(!gbNav4)&&(!gbOpera))
It occurs only once. Change it to
else if(sType=="hide2"&&(!gbOpera))
In the same output file, near the end, look for
function tryReload()
if (gnRE==1)
document.location.reload();
gnRE--;
Make it read
function tryReload()
if (gnRE==1)
// document.location.reload();
gnRE--;
About those JavaScript references you were deleting, you need
to keep them because they have browser-sniffing and filtering code.
Also:
In the output file myproject.htm look for these lines near
the beginning:
<meta name="description" content="WebHelp 5.50">
</head>
Delete </head> here because it belongs elsewhere.
In the same output file myproject.htm look for these lines
near the end:
</script>
<frameset cols="100%,*" frameborder=no border=0>
Make them read
</script>
</head>
<frameset cols="100%,*" frameborder=no border=0>
At the very end before </html>, insert
<body></body>:
<body></body>
</html>
Why, you may ask, would Firefox be affected by code that
filters for Nav4?
I don't completely get it, but it seems Firefox also
identifies itself as a Mozilla browser, and the ancient code in
whver.js appears to equate Mozilla with Nav4. Once this flag is
set, it is not turned off. In fact browser ID flags accumulate. So
Firefox may be burdened with RH browser ID flags for Mozilla, Nav4
and maybe Nav5, Nav 6, Nav61 and Nav7.
Just try to find your way through all the RH code filters
with those flags.
If you're really adventuresome, go into whver.js and add flag
definitions for gbFirefox (I think gb stood for generic browser,
i.e., not IE) and insert it into all the "if" conditions where you
think it should be treated the same as, or differently from, the
other browsers.
Disclaimers and warnings:
All of the above applies to RH 5 code. I haven't had time to
look in RH6. Adobe may have fixed some, not others.
Because these are output files, RH probably will overwrite
them when you publish a revised version, so you must check the new
published output.
As always:
It works for me but may not work for you; back up everything,
test and retest, etc., etc. My driver's license is good in my chair
but may not be valid elsewhere.
Good luck.

I have to re-install adobe flash for firefox every time i start my computer even if firefox shows that my adobe flash is working it does not.I also get notices from the websites i visit (get flash e.t.c.)

i have the latest firefox 10.02 in win7 and even if firefox shows is installed my adobe flash is not working so i have to run the flash installer every time i start my pc.After this everything works fine until the next start when i have to run the flashinstaller again

There are two versions of the Flash Player plugin. One is ActiveX and only works in IE. It sounds like you have that one installed. The other one works in all other browsers.
What seems to be happening is that you have security software that's blocking one of those versions of Flash/restoring your computer state and so it gets uninstalled when you start your computer. The other possibility is that there are permission issues. Unfortunately, this isn't something that Firefox can control; it's a problem with the Flash installation (Firefox is dumb and just looks in the registry for a list of installed plugins to load).
Make sure that you're an admin on your computer when you try to install Flash and that you check your security settings. If that doesn't work, try posting to the [http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer Adobe community forums] to see if other people have had similar issues and know how to address them.

Firefox does not recongize plug in already on the computer.

I had Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X (11.9.900.170) installed on my computer before downloading and starting to use Firefox. I went to a web site, and Firefox is telling me a plug in is needed to display the content of 2 windows on the web page. I used the "Install plugin" link, but the automatic installation failed. I then did the manual installation. I now have art of the Adobe 11 Flash Player Plugin (11.9.900.170) installed as well.
When I go back to the web page, I am still getting the same error message. When I try to install, it is telling me to install the same plugin (& version) that is already on my computer. Why isn't Firefox recognizing what is already on my computer?
Thank you.

Firefox doesn't use ActiveX, it needs the NPAPI version of Flash.

Which website should I update my plug-in to if Firefox does not direct me to just one website?

picasa.com offered many websites

Plugins are installed via external programs and you need to update a plugin by visiting the the website of a plugin.
The plugin check website only knows about some commonly used plugins and doesn't recognize the others.

As firefox does not be able to complete downloads iw ould like to disable its download manager

I have DAP as my default download manager.Sometimes tho Firefox decides to do the download it`s self.
These downloads hardly ever complete ,yet they indicate complete.
I would therefore like to disable Firefox download manager and rely totally on DAO.
Please advise.
Thank you
Michael

Welcome to the forum.
The updates on firefox, like many other things in firefox are customisable / customizable, you can set it for instance to notify you but not update, or you check manually for updates, or allow it to update automatically.
* see [[updating firefox]]
* you may also find [[software update failed]] useful
BTW you appear to be using an experimental beta version of firefox.
If you are new to firefox it may well be worth installing the current release firefox 3.6.
*otherwise
** you will remain on experimental versions and updates to those which you may not always want, - some may not always work or be compatible with other software
** you will not have the current stable version
You should then follow the instructions to create an additional 'profile' so that each version has its own profile, otherwise you are likely to run in to problems. ( The "profile" stores bookmarks and a lot of your important firefox data, you do not want that to get messed up with beta editions of software) If you ever uninstall firefox note the option to remove settings removes all data bookmarks etc from ALL installed versions of firefox. (Firefox normally, otherwise, does a good job of presering settings and bookmarks etc)
See
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Testing_pre-release_versions
* [[profiles]] and [[managing profiles]]

Firefox does not load, instead it gives me an error and asks to send a report. I have sent 6-10 reports and not response. Can I just reload the website. Although then I loose all my bookmarks, etc. so I'd rather fix what I have.
