Firefox keeps restarting by itself, resetting everything and losing history, why? How do I stop, ready to give up on Firefox 11.0

I have read a ton of ideas, tried everything I could find, but nothing seems to work. I have Firefox 11.0 I get everything set up like I want, with the toolbars I want and it is working fine. Then for no apparent reason it closes. When i restart it is set back to default on all settings, and all history is gone. It can take an hour or as long as 2 or 3 days before it resets. I have researched and researched, deleted files, reset everything, restarted it, but it just keeps happening. Very frustrating. There are no crash ID's no trail at all that I can find.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant stand the thought of going back to internet explorer

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?

My computer is recognizing my airport express network at first but then slips to an exclamation mark. I have followed the steps to reset everything and it ends up keeping me on a loop of asking me to rest everything after I do so. network is recognized

My computer is recognizing my airport express network at first but then slips to an exclamation mark. I have followed the steps to reset everything and it ends up keeping me on a loop of asking me to rest everything after I do so. network is recognized on list along with all my neighbors. Any help would be greatly apprectiated.

System Preferences > Network
WiFi/Airport should be at the top of the list.
Select WiFi/Airport
[√ ] Ask to Join new Networks
click ( Advanced )
In the WiFi/Airport pane, remove ALL other networks except your home Network. (This will keep your computer from "wandering off" onto a neighbor's Network.)
You are not done until you close the windows and Save Changes.

Why is my ipad keep restarting almost every 5 minutes and also why is the screen not rotating.

why is my ipad keep restarting almost every 5 minutes and also why is the screen not rotating.

Nobody here can answer a question like that. Try rebooting your iPad and see if that helps.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

You don't. That is how it works. It is a verification process. Would you like anyone that picked up your phone to be able to make purchases? I don't think so.

My iPad has been stolen and the thief continually resets my I'd password. How do I stop this. He can just get an email to rest password

My iPad has been stolen and the thief continually resets the password he gets the email to reset and does it easily
How can I stop this?

The thief must also have access to your email, so you need to change your email password. Most likely what is really happening is that the thief is trying to access your itunes account and is entering the wrong password too many times, in which case it will automatically be reset.

Ever since I updated my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to IOS 6 all my iMessages are coming to both my iPhone and my IPad. How do I stop the iMessages I send and receive on my phone from receiving on my iPad as well? I have tried going into my settings and making sure I'm only set up to receive iMessages to my cell number and not my email....but that didn't fix the problem.

Here the way to do it, for both, or for only one Go into your settings, Messages and turn on iMessage. It will then send messages that are iMessages to both your iPad and iPhone. You can also turn off this feature on the iPad if you do not want to receive messages on the iPad.

If you are talking about multitasking, double tap the home button and swipe up on the app you want to remove. They look like pages now.

Firefox keeps me logged in to everything and I don't want it to....how can I change this?

Before today (when I updated FF) whenever I would close FF browser it would log me out of everything I was logged in to (ie. gmail, FB, Hotmail etc.) which is the way that I like it. However since updating my browser it keeps me logged in to everything, I have changed all of my settings so that everything is supposed to be cleared when FF closes but it doesn't change anything I am still logged in to all the sites. How do I change this back?

"Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove the Cookies" from sites causing problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file ''cookies.sqlite'' that stores the cookies is corrupted.
You can rename (or delete) '''cookies.sqlite''' (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete '''cookies.sqlite-journal''' and '''cookies.txt''', if they exist, in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Plug into iTunes on any computer.
Hold down the sleep wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Don't let go of the sleep wake button and press and hold the home button as well. Do this until the Apple logo disappears.
Now let go of the sleep wake button but keep your finger on the home button for a few more seconds. The device should go in a mode that will enable you to restore it.

HT2534 i bought this iphone 4 from a friend at work. it had his apple id still on it. well i reset everything and got my apple id set up. it works on everything but when i go to apps and update like facebook it ask for his apple id and not mind. how do i

can someone help me

What do you mean by 'reset everything' ? Did you delete all of the apps that he had downloaded onto it ? All apps (and other content from the store) are tied to the account that downloaded them, so if the Facebook app was downloaded by his account then only his account will be able to download updates to it - you will need to delete the app and download it with your account for it to be linked to your account so that you can download future updates to it.

The newest update to Firefox keeps running, failing and running again. How do I stop it?

The latest mozilla firefox update is irritating. It keeps trying to run and saying it can't and then running again. The only to get to the internet is to use Google chrome. I prefer Firefox but you guys make it so I can't use it. How do I stop this update?

I'm stuck with this problem as well, using Win XP sp3
Kill the process (in process manager) to stop the loop. In order skip the update and to keep working with 3.6.9, someone suggested deleting the update contents from:
C:\Documents and Settings\usernamehere\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox
This is just to keep working with the old version, and hope the next update will be smoother. Or if you have time, uninstall FF and re-install it from a fresh installer (i recommend xmarks plugin to keep your bookmarks, history and such for a smooth transition)
