Firefox is part of my startup process but recently it stopped loading when I boot up, on both my desktop and PC. Why?

I have Firefox in my Startup list to run as part of the boot-up process, on both my desktop (running XP) and my laptop (running Vista). Recently it stopped loading at startup on both machines. No error message (apart from the usual "adpoxy" one occasionally). I have to start it manually, then no problem.

You can turn off all updates for Firefox if you wish. But first, read this: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/734822?#threadId734866
If you are talking about Add-ons updates, you can also turn those off but you face the same problem with missing important security and stability updates for your add-ons.
Turning off the updates would be like not keeping your Windows XP updated. You are on XP SP3, I hope, since XP SP2 is not longer supported. Also, do you update XP every month on the 2nd Tuesday?
If you decide to update Firefox and its add-ons manually, don't forget to manually check for updates occasionally (once per week, once per month). To turn off the automatic updates, Tools > Options > Advanced > Update tab; see: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+window+-+Advanced+panel#Update_tab

Why my firefox stopped loading when I want to open a new tab? this will continue if I do not move the mouse. this also happen when I download.

hey, just to keep you updated - there is now a fix available for firefox 25, which should address the particular problem of pages not loading unless the mouse is moved.
if you have downgraded to firefox 24 to work around the issue, please go to ''firefox > options > advanced > update'' and turn automatic updates back on. then go to ''firefox > help > about firefox'' which should trigger the update to firefox 25.0.1.
<br>in case you need to download the setup file for firefox 25.0.1 separately you can do so from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/#firefox

Most likely, water damage.
You can try putting your iPod in a tupperware, half filled (maybe half inch) with rice grains, close the cover for about a week.
If you have done this, as soon as it got wet, higher chances of success, now looks like the water moisture is getting to the LCD screen.
Then you can always bring it to Apple Genius bar, for a an overhaul. (may cost you half the price of a new iPod classic.)

I have a few collections, but not all PC's in those collections are listed in "All Desktop and Server Clients".

I have a few collections, but not all PC's in those collections are listed in "All Desktop and Server Clients". Does anyone happen to know the reason for this? It should have at least the same number of clients as the largest collection.
Thanks,

Hi James,
The All Desktops and Server collection only contains devices that show client=yes.
Meaning the Configuration Manager client is installed on those devices.
This WQL query will give you a collection of all devices that do not have the client installed.
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System where (SMS_R_System.Client is null or SMS_R_System.Client = 0) and SMS_R_System.Name != 'Unknown'
Another handy collection is all clients that are inactive (No communication for the default 7+ days)
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_CH_ClientSummary on SMS_G_System_CH_ClientSummary.ResourceId = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_CH_ClientSummary.ClientActiveStatus = 0
I normally create both and then a third collection of all devices and exclude the above two which should show you all healthy devices.
Have a look at the ccmsetup.log file on the client if it has attempted to install the ConfigMgr client but failed.

Why does Firefox Mobile stop loading when using VPN?

When I'm connected to Private Internet Access VPN on my phone (using their app in the play store) occasionally Firefox gets into a state in which no webpages can be loaded. I can fix the problem in one of two ways: (1) use Google Chrome for Android or any other app that uses the internet or (2) disconnect from VPN and use Firefox without that protection. Sometimes when I reconnect to VPN, Firefox pages will load again but sometimes not.
The loading bar in Firefox Mobile always gets stuck in the same spot, which I am thinking could be diagnosed to determine which part of the http protocol it might be stuck at. I am hoping I can attach a screenshot.
I really believe in what you guys are doing. Keep fighting the good fight.

It could possibly be that the dns is failing, but to be sure there would need to be a log and need to be tested on lte and wireless to see if its consistent.

When I boot holding option, both Mac and Bootcamp partitions show up, but disappear after 2 seconds.

I recently swapped out my HDD for an SSD in my 2007 MBP. Hardware installed fine. I installed Mountain Lion from a time machine backup (of the same machine). I made the Windows partition in OSX, then installed Windows 7 on the partition it had made. In Windows, I updated Bootcamp to 3.3.
Everything seems to work fine in both OSX and Bootcamp from what I can tell. The problem is, when I boot and hold option to choose my boot drive, both drives appear and then disappear in about 2 seconds. They disappear with a "poof" animation, as if you had dragged an app off of the dock. If I'm fast enough, I can choose the boot drive before it disappears.
I tried once again reinstalling OSX from my last time machine backup (prior to the SSD swap), and the problem persists.
I thought it might have something to do with NTFS 3G and MacFuse, because I'd heard that they cause a bug where the bootcamp partition won't show up under the "startup disk" preferences pane. When I uninstalled said programs, bootcamp showed up under there startup disk options, but the problem persists.
Any ideas?

Actually, this is just getting weirder.
Disregard my edit above. Clicking once doesn't have any effect on the drives. But the drives disappear only coming off of a RESTART from OSX. If I Shut down fully, the problem is solved. Likewise, if the drives have disappeared after a restart and I am forced to turn off the computer by pressing the power button, upon boot up the drives no longer disappear (Regardless of any action I take).
It would seem that the drives are disappearing due to something during the restart process.
Okay: Here are some workflows that might shed light on the situation:
Boot to Mac -> Shut down -> Alt boot : DOES NOT DISAPPEAR
Boot to Mac -> Restart -> Alt boot: DISAPPEARS
Boot to Mac -> Shut Down -> Alt boot -> Boot to Windows -> Shutdown or restart -> Alt boot : DOES NOT DISAPPEAR
Boot to Mac -> Restart -> Alt boot & fast select -> Boot to Windows -> Shutdown or restart -> Alt boot: DISAPPEARS
Boot to Mac -> Restart -> Alt boot & disappears -> Turn power off -> alt boot: DOES NOT DISAPPEAR
So the core culprit is something to do with OSX restart. The method of shutdown during windows doesn't seem to matter.

I have saved a web page as my HOME page but another one keeps loading when I try to go online.

I saved a home page to load when I go online. Another web page keeps loading in its place. How can I get MY home page to load instead of this other one?

Thank you for your response. The webpage that keeps coming up is something called imesh. I have read the article and tried changing it again but it keeps coming back to imesh.com. I have changed the default home webpage in other parts of the computer and with the options menu but imesh keeps overriding it. I know I did download that program but have since gone back and tried to delete it from my computer. Evidently I was not successful. I have looked for it all over to see if I missed deleting somehow but I can't even find it now. If you have a suggestion I will gladly try. I'm also going to get my tech guy to look at it. Thanks!!

Firefox runs in win tak manager/processes but browser opens only when internet connection is terminated

Firefox was working wonderfully. After I uninstalled and installed two applications (Photoshop trial version and Realplayer ) simultaneously with ashampoo uninstaller, Firefox browser fails to open no matter how much I click on the icon. In the Windows Task Manager, the browser runs in the processes tab but not in the applications tab. The browser comes to life when I terminate my internet connection. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox. It doesn't help.

I had the same problem and it was because of my firewall settings, which I had set to block all activity and forgot to reset it.

Why does FireFox truncate part of an E-mail of more than one page when I try to print it out? How can I sent an E-mail blaet to several but only show one name o

When I try to print out an E-mail that is longer than one page, part of the 2nd page is truncated. I then have to go to Safari to print out the entire E-mail without part of it being truncated.
When I have multiple E-mail addresses on a single E-mail, how can I send the E-mail so that each recipient only sees his/her name and E-mail address rather than everyone else that the E-mail is addressed to?
Please advise.
Thank you.
Bill Leete

Some style rules that Firefox handles well on the screen can cause this problem. Many email sites have a print button which simplifies the message format and removes navigation elements, etc., and Firefox generally handles print-formatted pages better. If your email site doesn't have print-formatted pages or those do not print, a "hack" is to select the text you want to print and then choose the Selection option in the print dialog.
To hide email addresses from recipients, you need to place them in the BCC field. What do you put in the TO field in that case? You can use your own address.

Firefox won't start. The program is running in the task manager processes, but the application won't open. I have restarted the computer, uninstalled and reinstalled, now I am lost!!!

I have a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop running Windows Vista Home edition. Firefox was working properly just as it has for years. All of a sudden when you click on the icon, nothing appears. I open task manager, no applications show. I go to processes, there is firefox32. I kill the process and start over...endless loop. I shut the computer down and restarted. Same issue. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled, same issue. I idon't know what else to try.

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")

I have pinned google reader as an app, but it does not load when I restart firefox beta 8. Any ideas?

I use google reader (www.google.com./reader) and thought I would use the pin as app feature. I right click the tab and select pin as app. The tab shrinks and looks like it has done this but when I close and restart Firefox the pinned tab is not there.

I am having this problem with all app tabs I have tried creating: hotmail, facebook, linkedin.

I added titles to my iMovie project and when I preview it they show up. But when I Share--I tried downloading onto desktop and also uploading to You Tube, only the video part shows.

I haven't used iMovie in a long time and it's a newer version than I used in the past, so maybe I'm just missing something. I uploaded 2 clips and put both into the project section.
I put in a title at the beginning that I wanted to fade and I added additional titles in a different position to indicate certain things happening in the video. The first title bar appears as a big purple bar below the first clip. The additional ones appear as little purple bars above it. Eventually I wanted to take the big one out but when I deleted it, the video part also disappeared so I kept it but just took out the text.
Then when I dragged the second clip into the work area, it popped into the same line as the big purple bar. I just kept adding little title bars along that and that seemed ok.
When I previewed it all in the upper right box, it seemed to do exactly what I wanted to do. But then when I Shared it, only the second (larger) clip appeared and no titles appeared anywhere.
I'm sure I just put somethings in the wrong place and obviously I don't know all the correct language for projects, events, etc. Have I made any obvious mistakes that are easy (I hope) to fix?
I'm using Maverick and iMovie 10.0.3
Thank you!

Thanks victoryhat. I learned some new things from this very clear tutorial. But it didn't answer my question about why the titles don't stay with the video when I export it.
He did mention something that might be a clue however. When he talked about importing a title he created as an image, he noted that he was careful to make the image the same size as the video he was adding it to: 1280 x 720. Since I took the video with an iPhone in the vertical position, my video image isn't the same size and orientation as the titles.
Maybe there is a way I should be setting the screen for this size??? I'll go back and play around. Meanwhile thanks for alerting me to Gary Rosenzweig's MacMost tutorials. Very clear. I'll look for more.

I have been using Firefox for a good number of months, but in early January it has ceased to open? I have updated and to the newest editions, but it will still not even open when I click on the the Mozilla Firefox button?

I cannot get Firefox to open on my CP. I have had to go back to Internet Explorer to get on the Internet.
