Do you have a phone support number?
Firefox often disappears from my computer and I have to redownload. I do it from your site hoping it's safe, but my Internet Explorer always blocks it at first and I have to tell it it's ok. Then my virus checker pops up and says "potential problem", and then I search all the other options for downloading and the same thing happens with all of them.
How can I be sure I'm safe when downloading Firefox and why does this happen so often? I have XP, but my husband has it also on two computers, and he never has this problem.
I have also searched to see if I can contribute to Firefox, because I think it is a GREAT browser. I just don't know where to go for information like this, and you don't seem to have a phone number.
Thank you.

Hi Standupmom, I might be considered a random person, actually.

  • I have some trouble With the graph XY, if I display a curve and try to zoom on it, it may be corrupted, or may disappeare​d.

    In fact this happens on some computers. the graph XY causes some trouble when zooming. Sometimes, when I run my main program and open the window with the graph, it has change the displayed it overflows to the edge of the windows. Or somtimes it works but if I zoom the curves disappeared, or is corrupted.
    I have this for instance on a computer with win 98 and a ATI graphic board. So I try to update all drivers but noting has changed. I try to decrease the hardware acceleration, and it seems to happen less oftenly.
    Does anybody have seen that kind of trouble ?

    I think what you are describing is not due to video driver, but rather
    to the way the graph works. The LV graph maps points to integer screen
    coordinates and draws lines be tween those point. When the numbers are
    way to large to fit on the screen, the numbers are pinned to a special
    large value. When this happenson one axis but not the other, it causes
    the slope of the line to change and potentially not cross the screen.
    If this is the same effect I'm describing, it only takes place when you
    zoom into the data by a large extent, pushing the other points about ten
    to fifteen monitors away. At this point you are no longer
    looking at
    measured data, but rather just on the interpolation of a line between
    two points. The solution if you must have one is to resample your data
    on the diagram to contain more points.

  • I HAVE A MAC G5 WITH V10.4 TIGER OS, I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE LETTER "N" ONLY WHEN I USE CAPS AND SHIFT KEYS DOSE IT TYPE THE LETTER "N"SE

    HAVE A MAC G5 WITH V10.4 TIGER OS, I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE LETTER "N" ONLY WHEN I USE CAPS AND SHIFT KEYS DOSE IT TYPE THE LETTER "N". I HAVE CONNECTED A NEW KEYBOARD BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

    You might look at "Keyboard Shortcuts" in the Keyboard and Mouse preference pane and see if somehow the lower case n has been inadvertently assigned to something.
    Probably the best solution would be to click the "Restore Defaults" button.

  • Cannot install Firefox, it disappeared from my computer for no reason.

    Firefox and all other web browsers stopped working for me. I tried to re-install them but get an "application cannot be found" error when I try to run the setup.

    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br />

  • The firefox icon disappears from my computer and I can't reinstall it.

    When i shut down my computer, often the firefox icon will be gone when I restart. I was just reinstalling it, but now I no longer can. Please help in terms I can understand as I am very inexperienced in computers. I got a new Macintosh in January and found it difficult to buy on ebay with Explorer. Firefox solved this problem and I want it back.

    If you mean the Messages app and you're running OS X 10.7, then you had installed the now-expired beta. To get it back, you would have to upgrade to 10.8.

  • HT204266 I have an iPhone 4s and I have been having troubles with the downloaded apps. I have tried everything from re installation to restarting and deleting but nothing is working. When I press the icon, there is a flash and I return to my home screen.

    Exactly as I mentioned above, the app just gives a flasha nd returns to the home screen, I have tried everything and nothing has really worked. Any suggestions?

    Basic troubleshooting steps straight out of the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.  Have you been through ALL of these steps?

  • Firefox disappeared from my computer. New version incompatible. Want to download a version compatible with Mac OS 10.4.2 but can't find on Mozilla website. Please help.

    This is not the first time that Firefox has disappeared from my computer; however, there was always a version on the mozilla site to download. I can't find one now but expect older versions are still available for download. Can you help me out?

    Not unless they were saved somewhere on your computer. You can check the Time Machine if that storage has been used and wasn't reset as well.

  • How can I figure out what my password is and keep it unlocked?  Every time I do a system update, it requires the password and sends me into cyber trouble with the remember my keychain access, requiring it every time I log in.  A real hassle to be avoided

    How can I find out what my password on the computer is?  I had to change it due to my teenagers helping themselves, and now every time there is a system update, I have to have the password, which I cannot remember or find.  It then wants it every time I log in and pops up Key Chain Access as well.  Very annoying.  I do not have the disc to reload it and fear I would loose everything on my computer as there is also trouble with the back up system.  Too many issues and not enough solutions.  Many thanks in advance!

    I do not have the disc to reload
    Why not?  You need your system dvds to troubleshoot & to reset/change passwords in view of your current OS listed in your  profile. 
    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource:  International Support Phone #s.
    ===============
    I have to have the password, which I cannot remember or find.
    When selecting passwords, make sure it's one that you will NEVER forget AND no one else can figure out. 
    Old school--- > Print it out & keep in a safe place.  A place that ONLY you know about AND never forget.
    New school---> Get a password manager utility.  Highly recommend 1Password which is shareware.  Do a Google search for free password managers.

  • Itunes has sent a lot of my music into iCloud. I have not asked for this. I can't log on to icloud, since I only have an ipod. How do I get my music back? It seems to have disappeared from my computer.

    itunes has sent a lot of my music into iCloud. I have not asked for this. I can't log on to icloud, since I only have an ipod. How do I get my music back? It seems to have disappeared from my computer.

    I have read the the advice you gave, and I had already tried that. It did not help.
    When I tried to download an album with nine songs, (I have paid for the complete album), two songs were missing. One of them has showed up/disappeared a couple of times, but with a cloud/arrow-symbol next to it, what I thought to be a symbol for downloading from the cloud. When I click it, it starts a downloading process, and then I am told it cannot be done, "please try again later".  The other song is nowhere to be seen.  The song with the cloud/arrow-symbol, I bought 3 times, once with the album, twice just the song. That didn't change matters. iTunes tells me I have downoladed all songs I have purchased.
    I do not really understand why you do not understand what I am writing, I only describe what happens when I use iTunes.
    If a person want to use iCloud, one needs an iPhone, iPad or an iPod Touch. That information is not given until you have downloaded and installed the iCloud program. That is why I have it on my computer, but cannot use it. To set up an iClod account, you have to connect one of the above mentioned devices. I don't have one, so I cannot do it.
    If you want the (13013) problem explained, I suggest you google it. I am not the only one to have that problem.
    I am thankful that you spend time on trying to help me, but I cannot explain things clearer than this.

  • My itunes has disappeared from my computer

    my itunes has disappeared from my computer, ive checked the location where the program is stored and its gone. i tried to re-install itunes but it will not open. ive checked my firewall, and have restarted the computer a few times and still no luck. any ideas? thanks

    It is also possible that iTunes is already running, but something is messed up (and it won't let you run it twice). Open up the Task Manager (cntrl-alt-del) and see if the iTunes process is listed. If it is, right click it and kill it. Then try to lauch iTunes again.
    Or - you could reboot.

  • HT203175 My own group of selected playlists has disappeared from my computer screen

    My own group of selected playlists has disappeared from my computer screen. Therefore I cannot add tunes to them and am scared to synchronise the ipod in case they disappear from there.  Can anyone help a computer illiterate.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.
