PS
i love firfox 3.6 .. but why would you put out trash like this. it will not even start up.
are you trying to be more like Internet Explorer.
crash.....crash....crash...
reinstalled 3.6 and stoped the auto updating for now.'''bold text'''

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.

# Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 8.2.6
You can find the old Flash plugin file NPSWF32.DLL in the plugins folder within the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\) and remove that file.

    What I suggest you do here is to use Adobe's uninstaller tool to uninstall Flash first of all: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Then reboot, go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and reinstall it.

  • Hi my mid 2012 MacBook air simply refuses to start. My charger is working which is a good sign but even in safe mode my computer won't boot up! I recently installed a product called WhatSizeMac.

    As said above I just installed what size Mac and now my computer won't start. As soon as I downloaded it my computer was a little glitch but regarded it as nothing. my computer was later really buggy so I decided to restart it. My computer now will not restart/turn on no matter if it is in safe mode or not. In safe mode it gets around a third of the way and then the progress bar disappeared then the gear remains for a second then the screen goes black then that is it. By the way I have OS X Maverick's .1 or.2, maybe .3 but I doubt it. PS if you can tell me a legit application that will declutter all this space I seemed to have used, yet have no idea HOW! Thanks.

    Hi Drbobdog, there shouldn't be a compatibility with Android OS 2.2.3. There may be a compatability with the device itself.
    Here are the system requirements:

    My apple TV is brand new, about two months.  It wont start, I tried unplugging it and pugging it again, and it wont start, neither dos the on light goes on,  what else can I do

    Hate to say it but if the light doesn't even come on - sure sounds like a hardware issue (assuming you've got it plugged in: not meant to be insulting, just been there done that)
    The good news: believe your still in warranty. Report the problem directly to Apple.

  • Some programs crash but not in safe mode or for guest user

    Hoping that some talented and kind Mac wizard will help me solve a bizarre problem: Some but not all of my programs have started crashing immediately upon launch, but not in safe mode, nor when I log in as a guest user.
    The problem began on February 5th, right after I installed an update to my OS (bringing it up to version 10.7.3), which included an update to the firmware for my computer, a Mac mini from mid-2010. The programs that began crashing upon launch *may* be those that were open at that time, but I can’t be sure. They include Adobe Reader, Picasa, Word for Mac, and a sweet little utility called uCalendarX.
    Specifically what happens with, say, uCalendarX, is this:  After I launch it, nothing appears on screen for a few seconds, and then comes a message that it is trying restore its windows, with a choice of whether to attempt restoring them or not. After a few more seconds comes the news that it has quit unexpectedly. The first several dozen lines of the crash log appear at the end of this posting.
    So far my troubleshooting has revealed the following:
    (a) When I reboot in safe mode, the programs that crash now work normally.
    (b) When I boot the usual way but log on a guest user, the programs that crash now work normally.
    (c) Fully emptying the trash made no difference.
    (d) The problem was not solved by restoring my hard drive (via Time Machine) to its state the day before I downloaded that update to the OS and the firmware. (This was a drastic step, the intervention of last resort, and I was sure it would work. But no. Perhaps I did not go back far enough for the restoration.)
    (e) Deleting the plist files and plist.lockfiles made no difference.
    (f) Deleting the files for the app under Saved Application States made no difference.
    (g) Disabing the user’s font cache (as happens in safe mode) made no difference.
    (h) Uninstalling Adobe Reader, emptying the trash, downloading the latest version, and installing that made no difference – this latest version newly installed continues to crash (but not for a guest user, nor for me, the administrator, in safe mode).
    (i  ) Repairing permissions on the hard drive made no difference.
    I will be mighty grateful for a solution to this perplexing, vexing problem!
    B.t.w., I don’t know Unix but was able to do all those (fruitless) interventions listed above.

    Thanks for thinking about my problem. I've already experimented with creating a new user, a co-administrator. The programs don't crash when that account is running, just as they don't crash when the guest-user's account runs. So it seems that the problem is limited to the default user's account, which is the one that was running when I installed the updates to the OS and the firmware. Another clue is that the programs that crash as soon as they are launched are *probably* the ones that were open at that time in that account. Yet deleting Saved Application States does not keep the programs from crashing when next launched.
    So the mystery continues, but these additional facts will help with the diagnosis, I hope.
    Thanks again for your suggestion.

  • Cannot start Fiefox after last update, on windows XP, tried uninstall and install- still nothing.

    OPerating system Windows XP

    Updated to Firefox 7.0.1 -- have not been able to start/launch since. Tried uninstall and new install and still nothing. Tried to reboot-- nothing-- I double click and the hour glsss appears for a second or 2 and nothing happens.

    Thanks JRSPNW I will have to give that a try. At the moment I just have not tried doing anything else it, but a system restore will probably be the route I will need to take eventually, or I will just carry on with out iTunes on my computer. The program has become such a pain the a$$. This version is the most user unfriendly it has ever been.

  • Updated iTunes to newest version, and once iTunes opened, it crashes immediately.  Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program numerous times.  Also had a hard time getting a network connection over the weekend (I knew my connection was fine)

    Updated iTunes to the newest version but have been unable to use it since.  Once it opens and tries to connect to the iTunes store it crashes and asks me to close the program and report the problem.  In the Windows information center, it tells me to update iTunes to the newest version to fix the problem; when I do and I tell it to repair the problem it goes through the motions, but the program doesn't change, it still doesn't work.  I have tried uninstalling and resinstalling the program numerous times from the weekend until now to no avail.  After the update was completed, it had a difficult time making a network connection; I knew that the connection was fine, as I was on the internet and receiving e-mail at the same time.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 &amp; above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

    Hi Danny,
    Per my understanding that you can't get the expect result by using the expression "=Count(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4) " to count the the TICKET_STATUS which value is 4, the result will returns the count of all the TICKET_STATUS values(206)
    but not 180, right?
    I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue caused by you are using the count() function in the incorrect way, please modify the expression as below and have a test:
    =COUNT(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4 ,1,Nothing))
    or
    =SUM(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS=4,1,0))
    If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

  • I have not been able to open Gmail for weeks. Why not? I can do it on Internet Explorer. I tried reverting to a previous edition of Firefox; didn't work. I tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox; didn't work. Please advise.

    I think I have the most recent Firefox version, last installation was Sunday, ‎June ‎05, ‎2011, ‏‎4:47:47 PM.

    The error often has the name of the extension in it in some manner, '''supply the message wording''' then at least we'd have an idea of what you see. Plus we really don't know what you did look at, or what you actually tried of what you did look at.
    For instance "AVG Free" shows something like tavgp in the message, if I recall correctly, so they aren't always real obvious unless you've seen it before.
    But if you really went through some of help pages you would have tried in Safe Mode, gone through the diagnostics, and almost certainly gone through all your extensions turning half off then have of those on or have of those just turned off back on again and repeat -- not fun but it doesn't take a real long time, but I'd rather try other ways first, because I have a lot of extensions and many are already turned off because of Firefox changes for the worse, certainly not because I don't need them.

    Hi response to my above problem, I have been browsing the Adobe forums and have found a number of others who are experiencing the same problem as me.

    It seems that the root cause of the problem is that Adobe workflows is not compatible with the newest versions of AIR (2.0.0 and above)
    This should be something that Adobe can fix quite easily. Its not a good first impression for Adobe customers to have a fresh install which seems to not work properly.
    If any Adobe representatives read this, I hope this issue will be addressed and a solution provided to the wider Adobe community

  • Firefox crashes randomly even with all extensions disabled and new profile, but not in safe mode

    Starting from about 2 weeks ago, Firefox has been crashing. The crashes is seemingly random, but normally happens when many pages/tabs are open. Also, all observed crashes happened in middle of some user operations. If I just leave it open(and loaded), it would never crash even after a long time.
    Also, the crashes would still happen even after ALL extensions are disabled manually. However it doesn't seem to happen in Safe Mode.
    After every crash, in the crash report dialog, the "Details" report would not respond. However I can open the reports using about:crashes.
    Before the crash would happen, sometimes the following ill-behaviors could be observed:
    * Firefox fails to render CJK characters, displaying them as square boxes instead
    * CJK IME(Namely Google Pinyin, an IME for Simplified Chinese) could no longer be activated in Firefox, neither on a webpage element nor on UIs of Firefox itself(i.e. address bar or search bar)
    The following has been tried but no luck:
    * Disable ALL extensions manually
    * Start a new profile
    * Reset Firefox
    * Uninstall/Reinstall Firefox
    * Switch from FX 14 to 15, then to 16 beta

    hello Rainarrow, some other users who have recently updated the graphics driver for their ati hardware (to ati catalyst version 12.8) have reported similar crashes. please try disabling hardware acceleration in firefox > options > advanced > general & see if this resolves the issue of frequent crashes for the moment.
