Firefox hangs after shut off, was told to use: file exit but it is no help

FF re-opens on the same web page as I last visited on my last internet visit. Using: file>exit, as was suggested is no help.
Yes I have the newest ver. of FF. I am using Windows XP with Svc. pack 3.
Yes I clear cookies and cache daily.
NO I do not have any virus, malware, trojans etc...

In '''Options window''' > '''General panel''' > '''Startup''' > '''When Firefox starts''' scroll and select '''Show my home page ''' click OK to save it, exit firefox and restart it.

Firefox hangs after putting Macbook to sleep

Firefox hangs after MacBook Pro is put to sleep. MAC OS X Snow Leopard. Normal service restored after force quit.

This keeps happening to me as well on my brand new MBP.
I suspect it has something to do with Panorama/Tab Groups.
Most of the time after sleep FF won't respond, but when it finally does I usually switch to another Tab Group.
The zoom animation for Panorama will freeze halfway through & I'll have to force quit.
Funny thing is even with the Panorama animation frozen, I can still use the file menu & save my session with the Session Manager add-on.

This is an annoying problem for many people. Most likely your dock connector (on the bottom where you plug in your phone) is dirty or screwed up and is probably just coincidence that it happened after you updated. Some people have had success cleaning the port with a dry clean tooth brush. There is a long discussion going on at the thread I linked below. Good luck...

Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. A sound/video technician told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+ r when restarting. Is this the right way?

Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. It started suddenly. Consulted a sound/video technician who told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+r when restarting. Is this the right way to clean up my Mac? And is it likely that some kind of bug is causing problems for Qlab to show video files? I´ve already tried with a bunch of different video files and sometimes Qlab plays them and sometimes not. I need the Qlab playlist for a theatre show and only have a week until showtime so starting to really worry. Is there anyone out there who can help?

Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
No idea why that was suggested.
You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.
Check these folders:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
/Library/Input Methods/
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/ScriptingAdditions
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
~/Library/Input Methods/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
To access the Home folder in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and chooseGo > Library.

Not it. Thanks. I tried it, so thanks for the tip, but I get the same error message. That I need to authorize this computer to get the purchases. I guess it's not really an error message. But It will not let me proceed any further. Once again I have deauthorized and this is the only computer that is authorized for this account.

Are you trying to change the iCloud ID on your phone?
Also, you can change your iTunes ID by going to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.

iPhones sold by AT&T are never unlocked. Anyone who told you otherwise was wrong. Here are AT&T's official requirements and procedure for unlocking an iPhone:

You'll have to apply to them for unlocking.

I was trying to get my personal computer contacts and calendar in outlook on my iphone and ipad. I was told to use icloud. I went to control panel and then icloud and selected my contacts and calendar. Now ALL MY DATA IS DELETED FROM OUTLOOK. Help!!

I was trying to get my personal computer contacts and calendar in outlook on my iphone and ipad. I was told to use icloud. I went to control panel and then icloud and selected my contacts and calendar. Now ALL MY DATA IS DELETED FROM OUTLOOK. Help!!

I was just on the line with Apple Tech support. First of all, I learned that when you link contacts to iCloud, it moves all your contacts to another/new address book...look for aother address books and you will see it. But I found the new address book dies weird things and changes the "Display Names" format. Evidently (per Apple support tech) there is no way to avoid this problem...so I just delinked the iCloud from my contacts. The contacts stayed in the iCloud address book...so I exported them to a CSV (comma separated value) file and saved it on my desktop and then imported that list into my original contacts folder. Now everything is back the way it was...being able to use my contact address book the way I did before. I was surprised that they never considered or realized this problem...but then the tech guy admitted that they really don't have A LOT of experience using Windows PC's.

? How do I view my balance?

Your balance should show to the left of account id at the top of the iTunes store page on your computer's iTunes. You can also check it by clicking on that id, or doing Store > View My Account, which should show your account balance and let you view your payment info

On Windows 7 64 bit Firefox hangs after about 10 seconds. This was a clean install on a brand new computer.

I have to end it with Task Manager.

I have an old PSUS4 and a Samsung ML-2010R. Both work perfectly so my issues are mostly with getting them to work each time I step up to the next Microsoft OS. The post by wdboer helped me get my Windows 7 32-bit PC connected to my printer over the LAN and via the PSUS4 so many thanks to wdboer.
I upgraded to a 64-bit PC with Windows 8 and followed the same instructions and used the Universal Printer Driver downloaded from Samsung but all I got was the printer to 'wake up' but it printed nothing (a direct USB cable connection worked fine). I finally got the printer to work by;
1. Windows 8 Control Panel
2. Device and Printers
3. Right click on the newly installed printer
4. Click on the Device Options tab
5. Selecting the Printer Model drop down and selecting Samsung ML-2010 Series followed by Apply
When I went back to the General Tab and clicked on Print Test Page, the printer woke up and printed the test page
Cheers, R

Firefox hangs after answering yes to Firefox 4 upgrade

Today when My wife started Firefox from her account she was presented with a window asking if she wanted to update to Firefox 4. She answered yes. At that point Firefox (v3.6.16) became unresponsive with no indication that anything was happening. After some time she tried to shut down Firefox by clicking the X in the upper right corner of the window. She then got the Windows End Program box stating that the program was not responding and allowing her to shut the program down.
She then restarted Firefox and after what seemed to be a normal start up with the home page being displayed, Firefox would again hang after selecting a bookmarked site.
When my wife called my attention to this problem, I decided to try it from my Windows XP account to see if the problem only happened in her account. When I first opened Firefox, I briefly saw a progress bar indicating Firefox was being updated. Firefax then opened and loaded two tabs, my home page which is set to the google.com/firefox start page and the same Firefox 4 anouncement page that my wife got when she first started Firefox. When I then selected most bookmarked web sites or even the Firefox Support link on the home page, Firefox would hang and require ending the task to exit. Terminating Firefox in this manner, and restarting Firefox produced the same result. Rebooting the PC after terminating Firefox also produced the same result. Using IE8 to visit the same web sites was successful and resulted in no hangups. In fact, I am currently using IE8 to post this question.
After restarting and trying many web sites, I did find some sites that opened normally. One was the About Mozilla link on the home page and another was a local weather site: wunderground.com.
I also ran Firefox in safe mode from the command line and got the same hanging which I understand indicates that the problem is not being caused by any plugins or extensions.
Any suggestions as to how I can fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestions. As it turned out Firefox seemed to fix itself!!! First I must add that I don't believe that my wife clicking on the Firefox 4 update button had anything to do with the hangups. There was no indication that anything had been downloaded. Firefox would start normally but hang when trying to load most web sites. Usually a progress bar would be displayed at the bottom of the page that would never completely load. Clicking on the "Stop loading this page" button would only result in the Firefox symbol at the top left corner turning to a white square and Firefox would become non-responsive requiring an end task to shut down. It acted like an Internet problem but as I reported before, when I tried the same sites in IE they loaded properly. Also rebooting had no immediate effect.
As I kept trying in my account, more and more web sites started to load properly. After a couple of days, there were no more hang ups occurring at all in my account. The only changes I had made was to disable a couple of extensions: DownloadHelper and Freecorder Community Toolbar in my account. These were never installed in my wife's account and had no immediate effect after disabling them. Unfortunately, Firefox would still hang in my wife's account. She had changed the default browser to IE and when I opened Firefox in her account I got the message box asking if I wanted to change the default to Firefox. At that point clicking on anything resulted in a hang as before. I even tried setting the default browser back to Firefox in Windows "Set Program Access and Defaults" and rebooting but got the same result when I tried running Firefox again.
Now, after doing nothing to Firefox for a couple of days, Firefox is working correctly in both accounts??? I did notice a lot of hard drive activity during the time I was working this problem. Hmmm.
I use Norton 360 v4 as my security protection on this machine. They have now released v5 which I am about to upgrade to. I wonder if their LiveUpdate was doing something that affected Firefox?
I think I will wait awhile before trying to update to Firefox 4.
