Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

  • Firefox loads but will not access the Internet, showing only a blank page with a single tab "Untitled," and "Done" in the progress indicator.

    When I load Firefox, I get a blank page. There is a single tab with "Untitled," and an indication "Done" at the bottom. The program does not respond to any of my bookmarks--it works but the end result is the blank page described above.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.<br />
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.<br />

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • IPhone 4 will not connect to iTunes after getting wet three days ago

    What can I do to fix this problem that doesn't involve going to Apple Store or paying Warranty?!

    You could put it  in a bag of rice for at least a week however if you have tried to turn it on since immersion you have probably fried it
    An out of warranty exchange is $149 for an iPhone 4 at Apple Retail Genius Bar

  • Page loads but will not display

    I have an IP address that allows me to view my cctv cameras.It works fine with Internet Explorer,but when i enter the same address in to my safari browser the page seems to load but will not display anything.
    I assume its some thing do with my internet security settings but do not now where to find them to allow this site. Can any one help please.

    Try temporarily turning off your firewall via SystemPreferences>Security>Firewall. If the site then works you can turn the firewall back on and specifically allow Safari.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. <br>

    I imagine this is a bit late for you, but to anyone else running into this problem, try the trick mentioned by VFSchreiber in this thread:
    Re: Why won't my iTunes movie rental play or download?
    This worked for me when I ran into the same issue (can scroll through rented movie but can't play it).  Just switch iTunes to the MiniPlayer (in the Window menu) and then back to the normal player.  Apparently, you may need to do this a few times. It sounds odd (and I didn't really expect it to work), but it fixed the problem for me.

  • I installed google chrome and added it to my applications folder and it works but my desktop still has the icon of the chrome volume/disk and when i right click it gives an option to eject but it will not delete how can I get rid of it?

    Drag it to the trash icon in your dock.  This is a disk image, and you need to "eject" it, to get rid of it.

    Yes the original Install Discs can be replaced for a nominal fee. Call AppleCare, you will need a credit card and the serial number of the machine. You can use the AppleCare Contact Info for the phone number on your part of the planet.

  • I inserted a mini CD (3") and it will not eject, how can I get it out??

    I inserted a mini CD (3") and it will not eject, how can I get it out??  I tried a little shaking, and restarting and holding the mouse pad down.  I heard the spinning but still cannot eject or read the disc.

    Short of taking it to a repair shop for extraction,  you can shut it down and try shaking the devil out of it.

    Disable anti virus softwrare if installed
    Check your settings in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options
    Make sure Gatekeeper is enabled
    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
    Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected. If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

    Then try downloading Quicken >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Just so you are aware, "all sales are final" as noted here >  iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE:   TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    But you can at least ask for a refund > Apple - Support - Topic Selection

  • I just upgraded to the New OS on my Mac Book Pro and now my trackpad does not zoom in or out.  I looked at system settings on trackpad and it is set, but does not work How do I get it started?

    This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.
    Here's the link for the safeboot

    how do i get back to 3.6 as firefox 4 appears to have deleted all the old files. can i retrieve my bookmarks etc and where can i download version 3.6

    You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • WorldMate loads, but will not accept WLAN

    My Nokia E71-2 without a SIM will load WorldMate and ask for city and country and accept it, but will not accept my WLAN connections at home.   My home WLAN works fine for all other E71 applications.   WorldMate is loaded in the add on memory card.  Phone has 200.21.118 and is RM-357.   Thanks for any input.

    Hadimasa mentioned in an earlier post that Worldmate would not work with Wlan for him. This is a little strange as I regularly use it with Wlan.
    Anyway, if what Hadimasa say is true then maybe that is why it is reporting no connection because you do not have a sim card in it. Why not try it with a sim card? If it works then you would have confirmed Hadimasa's hyphothesis and it may be worth contacting Worldmate to see what they have to say about it. 
    I downloaded and installed it again with version 7.00.43 and it works with WLAN. Could their have been an update? Madison wrote about a password? At startup, you have to  give an e-mail address, name and the city you live in. but I haven't seen anything about a password. I'm getting old, maybe I'm missing something ( in my head).
