FIREFOX IS STUCK IN SAFE MODE, AND IS NOT RESPONDING TO FIXES SUGGESTED BY THE ARTICLE ON THAT SUBJECT

The article I'm referring to is this one:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20is%20stuck%20in%20Safe%20Mode?s=safe+mode&as=s
I went through all three suggestions, still have the problem. Using Windows XP.

Yesterday I tried starting it from the "all programs" path instead of the quick launch button. Didn't work. Restarted the computer and tried from the quick launch button. Didn't work. Just tried it again from the "all programs" path , and now it's working in normal mode again. What the heck?
Well, I'll take it.

  • IPad 2 stuck in recovery mode and does not respond to usual cures.

    I wonder if anyone can suggest what further I can do to get an iPad 2 16MB WiFI model out of recovery mode.  The machine was previously working normally but after a charge would not turn on.  It connected to iTunes on a Windows system when started using the home button press before USB plug method.  iTunes reported the iPad in restore mode even though the diagnostic tools menu in iTunes said that the ipad was not connected.  The Windows system device manager showed that the Apple USB driver was loaded but did not show the iPad as a device. However, running restore from iTunes seemed to work correctly with the progress bar showing on the iPad and the information bar on iTunes showing installation of software and firmware.  iTunes then said that the iPad would restart - but it did not.  It just stayed in restore mode.  A new USB cable made no difference and the same thing happens when I repeat the attempted restore on another Windows system.  I have done the attempted restore multiple times as has been suggested is needed.  I also let the battery run flat before doing restore attempts. Both Windows system were cleaned of everything non essential and the iTunes is up to date.  Doing the restore from DFU mode gives the same result. I have occasionally had the error code oxe8000084 reported by iTunes.  Am I dealing with a hardware fault?

    This is the error report from iTunes which despite saying that device connectivity fails - seems to be able to see what is on the iPad.:

  • My iPod Touch is stuck in Recovery mode and would not respond. Please Help!

    Hi! I have an iPod Touch 2nd Generation 8GB. Yesterday, I tried to update to iOS 4.0 from 3.1.3 by way of shift-click restore because my iPod was jailbroken. When the restore process was about 95% done, I received a "Send Error Report" and in every time I do it whether if I am downgrading back to 3.1.2 or 3.1.3.
    My iPod touch is still stuck in DFU/Recovery mode. I tried using another of my USB cable, USB port, and computers but to no avail. I even reinstalled iTunes and I still get the same result.
    Please does anyone know how to fix this?

    Restoring and updating normally also produces the same result.

  • After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server.

    After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server.  I have already tried the resetting with power swich and home button and plugging into computer but it says the "iPhone software update server cannot be contacted."  I am locked out of my phone.  Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue and get the phone working again.  I will add that I am now trying to restore it on a different computer with a lower version of itunes, but the computer that it initially happened on had the updated itunes and gave me the same result ... nothing.  Thanks for your help in advance.

    Try going to recovery mode as described here.  You may have to try this more than once to succeed.
    Use the original iTunes that the iPhone synced with.

  • Iphoto is stuck in IMPORT mode and will not QUIT!

    iphoto is stuck in IMPORT mode and will not QUIT!
    please let me know what to do
    the iphoto version is 5.0.1

    Hi ambrosia,
    i am afraid that if you force quit right now you will run into problems opening your library when you next try.
    If it is at all possible (an I don't even know if this will work while iPhoto is running) open a finder window and navigate to the iPhoto Library folder.
    Highlight the folder and hit Command D to duplicate the folder. I am hoping you can do this before any changes are made to the data files that might corrupt them when you force quit iPhoto.
    Once you have the duplicate library, then you can see if you can Force quit iPhoto. You can do this if you see the "force quit" option when you click and hold on the iPhoto icon in the dock. You can also launch Activity Monitor and find iPhoto in the window and choose to force quit it from there.
    What kind of camera do you have and how many images and or video clips are you trying to download. Sometimes iPhoto gets stuck on very large video clips and eventually they will download.

    My firefox is stuck in the safe mode and i am unable to return to the regular mode. I have tried restarting as suggested but it is still in safe mode. How can i return to the regular mode?

    Please kill all instances of firefox in Process/Task Manager/Monitor, whatever it's called on MacOS, and/or reboot the whole system. Then please try to launch Firefox as you usually do, via desktop shortcut or programs menu, which should start it in normal mode.

  • Help I itunes will not recognize my iphone or ipod. Trouble with USB driver, device not running in safe mode, and HDCP not supported.

    Help! When I connect my iphone or ipod touch to my computer, windows recognizes my device but itunes will not. I can still see my songs, videos, and access the itunes store but my phone and itunes store have no connection so it does me no good. I have for 2 days now tried every trouble shooting method posted with no luck. I think I may have finally found a lead. My Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is showing up under portable mobile devices while it is supposed to be showing up under universal serial Bus controllers from my understanding? Also, while running my diagnostic report under itunes it also says itunes is not running in safe mode, it is not showing enabled in windows firewall (which it is checked), and the HDCP is not supported. I don't know what to do? I am in tears here, someone please help!!!

  • I'm using Firefox on a Windows 7 OS, and I want to know how to disable the small window that appears when I hover my mouse over a tab, bookmark, etc.

    Okay, so when I'm using Firefox, say I have multiple window open, I hover my mouse over a window's panel at the bottom of the screen and a small box appears telling me about the webpage on that panel. The same thing occurs when I hover over a tab or a bookmark, it's very annoying and frequently blocks my cursor when I'm trying to work. How can I disable this feature?

    I do not use Adobe Reader, but use Foxit Reader in its place, and had the same problem. In Foxit Reader, I right-clicked in the area at the top where you would expect the toolbar to be (it was a blank area immediately above the displayed PDF file), and chose which toolbars to display and that has "stuck" and I still see the Foxit toolbars when I load a PDF file after system shutdown overnight. The only problem is that the area where you would expect the toolbars is still there and blank, but the toolbars that I selected appear immediately below that blank area. See if that works in Adobe Reader for you.
