Firefox need reinstall every boot

I am trying to use fireFox (witch is lot faster then safari) but it desapere every time i boot so i have to reinstall it every time
???????

Did you drag the Firefox application out of the installer and into your applications folder or did you drag the entire installer?
If this is not the case, navigate to ~(yourhome)/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist and delete that file then relaunch FF.

  • Bluetooth mouse must be reinstalled every boot, suspend

    I have an X200s running Windows 7 Professional 64. It has the OEM bluetooth adapter.
    I like my Logitech V270 bluetooth mouse. I have used it in the past with an X60s (Windows XP SP3) and a T61 (Windows XP SP3) without any problems. I have never had to install any of Logitech's drivers to get the mouse to work, and I don't want extra drivers (nor the accompanying junk).
    However, with the X200s running Windows 7, I have to reinstall the mouse every time I boot, suspend, or hibernate the laptop. It's incredibly frustrating.
    I found the solution after an hour of agony. It's a bug with Lenovo's bluetooth drivers. If you use Microsoft's bluetooth drivers, this never happens.
    (1) Make sure the bluetooth radio is turned on with the Fn+F5 radio manager.
    (2) Open the Control Panel.
    (3) Open System Properties. Select the "Hardware" tab and click "Device Installation Settings." Make sure "Yes, do this automatically" is selected. Save changes and close System Properties.
    (4) Make sure you have internet access--Windows may need to download drivers.
    (5) Open the Device Manager. Expand the list item named "Bluetooth Radios." Right-click each item and select uninstall. Once all Bluetooth devices have been uninstalled, click the menu item named "Action" and select "Scan for Hardware Changes."
    (6) Windows will now install its own drivers for the Bluetooth adapter.
    (7) Close the Device Manager and close the Control Panel.
    At this point, my mouse just started working perfectly! However, you may need to add the device and pair it again.

  • Pages from App Store needs reinstalling every few days???

    I purchased Pages 09 through the Mac App Store a few weeks ago. Every few days I discover that I cannot save work in Pages, the app thinks I have an unlicensed version and need to purchase a key to use it. I start the Mac App Store and it shows Pages as needing to be installed, although it already is. Why does this process keep repeating itself, and how can I resolve the issue once and for all?
    FYI, I have deleted the app twice and then reinstalled it via the MAS, and still the issue persists. Thank you for any suggestions you may have.

    Here is what happens:
    I purchased Pages 09 on my MacBook Air shortly after the Mac App Store opened. I have also installed a second instance of it, via the MAS on my desktop machine. The desktop instance runs without problems, but the MacBook Air copy does not. Every few days, when I open the Pages application and attempt to save work I am doing, a prompt pops up to say that I need to PURCHASE a key to be able to save work, suggesting that I am just using a demo, when in fact I did buy this copy. I do not remember whether or not the MacBook had a DEMO of Pages installed on it prior to buying it through the MAS, but that may have been. If so, this is likely causing some confusion. Surely there is a way to remedy this problem? I can't keep reinstalling Pages twice a week in order to use it on the MacBook Air!
    And yes, I have deleted the Pages application (dragged into the Trash and emptied Trash) before reinstalling via the MAS, and that did not fix the problem.

  • Installed "Intrigated gmail" and now i get a siren noise that i cannot stop. uninstalled firefox and reinstalled but cannot stop. unistalled all add ons cannot stop. need help

    Installed Intrigated Gmail and right after that everytime I open firefox I get a siren noise that will not stop. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled with no add ons they where all uninstalled and I still get the siren. If I cannot stop it i will be forced to use a different browser.
    == This happened ==

    Check the home page setting:
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • Firefox crashes after every update. Must unistall then reinstall?

    Every time I install an update to firefox, it freezes up and will not work. The only way to fix it is to uninstall firefox and reinstall it. I have done it with the last 6 updates or so. If I do not, I am unable to use firefox. Is there a setting or something I have wrong on my computer. I am running windows vista home premium 32 bit. Firefox 3.6.11. It does open but after about 5 seconds it goes dim and has an error message.

    Windows 7 here, same problem

  • For some reason all of my ad ons and plug ins have to be reinstalled every time I restart firefox. I don't know how or why they keep getting disabled or uninstalled. Help?

    My downloaded toolbars and ad ons have to be "reinstalled" every single time I restart. I have no idea why this is happening.

    Try reading [[Preferences are not saved|Preferences are not saved]], specifically the "Resetting preferences file" section.

  • Mac shows iCloud password popup every boot.

    I get this popup window every boot.
    Why does that window show up?
    and How can I fixed it?
    +
    I reinstalled OS X 10.9.3 today.
    Before reinstalling, I didn't see that window.

    You are  not alone.
    This needs an Apple iCloud Guru to clarify & solve.
    This first showed up for me in Mavericks 10.9.3, and was not fixed in 10.9.4. Neither was a beta version. Updating to a later version of the OS also fails to resolve this suggesting that perhaps it is the iCloud authentication server that is broke -AGAIN!
    Unfortunately the Apple helpdesk knows nothing of this issue, or are trying to keep lit under wraps.
    My guess is that some of the downloads from Software Update are in fact experimental builds, Noting that is some countries Apple is playing with two factor authentication, perhaps we have been hit by a build that is trying out an alternative authentication method, that simply keeps failing. Though perhaps it is geolocation triggered, as doing a clean install achieves no improvement.
    ICloud, which I prefer to call iClod still has bugs, but unfortunately those best able to fault find the authentication system are not available to users, so getting this bug fixed will involve further contributions from more clued up users.
    Unfortunately it seems that the failure manifests in several ways, with at least 3 different, but cryptic seemingly random dialogue boxes appearing in response to entered passwords, and also no apparent response at all, i.e., no change.
    What is odd is that one can be successfully signed in to iCoud, able to manage ones account, but unable to successfully verify ones password in the preference pane. Looking deeper in the console loads there is reference to a file not being able to be written. So is this a permissions issue, or is the preferences file to be written missing from the bundle from the iCloud bundle.
    And even more oddly when one intentionally enters an incorrect password in the password verification dialogue, iCloud seems to correctly identify it as an incorrect password, suggesting that iCloud recognises a correct password but then fails to complete the verification transaction.
    Note this iCloud preference pane userID password verification process is not documented anywhere that I have been able to discover. Is it another inadvertent FEATURE of OS X that was mostly deprecated because it did't work as expected?
    One day Apple will wake up and instigate a dedicated iCloud help call centre tasked to ensure that all users have access to this service which has become intrinsic to ownership and use of a Mac.

  • I updated StumbleUpon which offered a tool bar. Since then I get no URL line, including everything else normally on that line. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled and still get the same. What can I do to correct this without doing a system restore

    I recently updated the add-on StumbleUpon which offered a tool bar. Since then I do not get the line which has the URL space as well as other functions. I am now forced to use IE. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled but get the same startup page. What else can I do short of using system restore to a prior date?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == when I last updated add-ons.

    This issue can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar extension

  • How do I STOP this from updating to NEW VERSION? I am getting tired of uninstalling and reinstalling every 10 uses. Ver.10 is Garbage!!!!!

    how do I STOP this from updating to NEW VERSION? I am getting tired of uninstalling and reinstalling every 10 uses. Ver.10 is Garbage!!!!!
    WHEN it decides to run it does NOT member passwords.
    And besides, if I WANTED NEW I would DOWNLOAD NEW!!!
    ''[Profanity removed by moderator. Please read [[Forum and chat rules and guidelines]], thanks.]''

    This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
    Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • After installing Leopard, my G4 will no longer boot in OS 9.22. (Classic still works, but I need it to boot in OS 9.)  Any clues about what the Leopard installer might have done to my machine that rendered OS 9 boot unusable? What can I do to fix it?

    After installing Leopard, my G4 will no longer boot in OS 9.22.
    (Classic still works, but I need it to boot in OS 9.)
    Any clues about what the Leopard installer might have done to my machine that rendered OS 9 boot unusable? (And what can I do to fix it?)
    Details:
    G4 Gigabit Ethernet
    Boot ROM version: 4.2.8fl
    Accelerator card added: 1.6 MHz
    1.5 Gig Ram
    I have erased the partition that had Leopard installed on it.
    I zapped the pram.
    In Open Firmware, I "reset-nvram", and then "reset-all"
    I tried to reinstall G4 FW Update 4.2.8, but that must be done when booted from OS 9, and of course, that's the problem: it won't boot into 9.
    I tried restarting from 9.2.1 DVD.
    I tried restarting from an external firewire drive containing OS 9.2.2.
    I tried moving a fresh OS 9.2.2 system folder into an empty partition on an internal hard drive. (Partition was created WITH OS 9 drivers installed.)
    All attempts to boot into OS 9 give me the same results - grey screen - no spinning beach ball, no icons or logos - just a blank grey screen.
    This machine still works fine in OS 10.3 and 10.4, and it worked fine for many years booting into OS 9, until I installed Leopard, and I haven't been able to boot into OS 9 since then, although I have done considerable research online and tried many things.
    I have since learned that this machine does not support Leopard - 10.5. Fine, but how did it break 9.2.2?
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for checking in, BDAQua.
    Problem solved.
    In the docs that came with my Powerlogix accelerator card, I found this sentence buried:
    "If you reset the PRAM, the NVRAM code for OS9 compatibility is cleared, so you will have to boot from the Firmawre Update CD and perform this process again in order to boot in OS9."
    The "process" it's referring to is the process of setting up the NVRAM for booting into OS9 from the CD.
    Fortunately, I was able to find the disk, and it worked as expected. I can now, once again boot into OS9.
    Conclusion: My (unadvised) attempt to load Leopard on this old machine apparently reset the PRAM on the accelerator card and cleared the NVRAM code for OS9 boot. Although I did attempt to reset the NVRAM via Open Firmware, it did not reset it on the accelerator card.
    So, thank you BDAQua, for your "Ah yes" . . . that's all I needed to steer me in the right direction.
    Gratefully,
