Firefox opens, and preview shows when hover on the task bar link, but the window will not maximize, or show up at any size on my screen (Windows 7) Help?!
I am running Windows 7 and just updated Firefox to the 7.0 version. I can open Firefox, in the sense that I can run the application. I can see that it is open because the link shows up on my task bar, and when I hover over it I can see the thumbnail preview - which, incidentally says "You're almost there!"; but I can not open the window! I have tried clicking once on the task bar link, and once again (just in case I was clicking to minimize instead of maximize). I have tried double clicking the shortcuts on my desktop, then the one in my program files, as well as the one in my start menu, and the static one pinned to my task bar. I have tried accessing Firefox from every path available on my computer and I can open it every time, but *never* not even once have I been able to view it on my screen. I can't understand what would cause this and maybe I'm just an idiot but can anybody help me... please? Oh, and I don't know if it makes any difference, but I did try restoring 6.0 and I re installed 7.0 again, all to the same end... Many thanks to anyone willing to help me fix this!

-> right-click Firefox icon and choose Properties
* go to Compatibility tab
* click Use Resolution 640x480 pixels
* click OK and start Firefox
-> Firefox will now start but you should be able to change the size of the window.
* Close Firefox and now Uncheck the 640x480 resolution
* Start Firefox again and now all should be fine
Check and tell if its working.

When I import a CD to itunes, it splits the album in to multiple entries. I have changed the info on some but others just will not merge. Is there an easy way to do this and can I stop them from splitting in future? Thanks
Okay this is what fixed my problem. Some kind of error/glitch occured half-way through importing that third cd that prevented further imports from any other cd. Once I completely removed the half-imported cd album from my library I could further import cd's without any problems.

I am having issues get my email in one of my mail accounts so I tried to "DELETE" the whole account. But my phone will not delete a mail account. And the phone is getting really hot and battery was full 2 hours ago and now at 25%.
Well, you don't say what happens when you try to delete the account. So I don't know what else to recommend. However, if your phone is not charging, is that the mains charger or the computer USB? Also, if it not showing any change to battery percentage, then something is wrong with the software. The next step in user troubleshooting after the reset is a restore from backup. However, considering the condition of the phone right now, I would be more than willing to say your backup is going to be corrupt. But you can try. If that does not fix the device, then you restore as new, not from a backup. If the phone works, then you can try restoring the backup again, but if it messes up, you are going to have to restore as new again. If the restore as new does not work, then you need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get the hardware checked.

Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
Let's start with iTunes.
Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

By the way, what does IOS mean? (I thought IO stood for operating system, but am flummoxed by the S on the end.
Really?
OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do. -

I have a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop running Windows Vista Home edition. Firefox was working properly just as it has for years. All of a sudden when you click on the icon, nothing appears. I open task manager, no applications show. I go to processes, there is firefox32. I kill the process and start over...endless loop. I shut the computer down and restarted. Same issue. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled, same issue. I idon't know what else to try.
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I changed from IE to Firefox. When I click on a shortcut in an email, I get the message "an error occurred in sending the command to the application" in Outlook. It doesn't stop Firefox opening and going to the site, but is annoying.

* Installed Firefox 9
* I am running Windows 7 64-bit
* I have Firefox pinned to the task bar.
* When Firefox opens, there is a new icon that opens up on the task bar. Normally, Firefox would open within the icon that is pinned to the task bar.
* When I close Firefox, the extra icon goes away.
* Firefox is acting like the icon that is pinned to the task bar is not even there.Before attempting the steps below, I would highly suggest you visit the latest known issues for the current version, specifically FF 9 release notes.
See:
[[Latest Firefox issues]]
1. Unpin the old firefox icon
2. Go to c:\Program File (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
3. Double click on "firefox.exe" (FF window & icon will appear in supertaskbar)
4. Pin this new icon by right clicking > Pin to Taskbar (Firefox Icon turns into whitebox)
5. Make sure that you see the hidden folders
[[windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Show-hidden-files]]
6. Go to C:\Users\%yourusername%\AppData\Local
7. Delete "IconCache.db"
8. Open the taskmanager
9. Kill explorer.exe by clicking on End Process
10. In the taskmanager, File -> New Task (Run...) --> write "explorer.exe" without the quotation mark, press ok -
Yesterday, since I downloaded the latest version 3.6.6, every time firefox opens and when I click on something, I get multiple error windows that say "ERROR: Security Manager Vetoed Action". I can't hardly use if anymore because of all the window pop-ups. What can I do? Can I go back to an older version?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I downloaded version 3.6.6 yesterdayhello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly

With firefox open and a full screen game open, if i alt-tab out of the full screen game and then try to click back into the game the game will minimize and i will be back on my desktop. This issue can sometimes be fixed by clicking repeatedly as the full screen game tries to occupy focus. Most of the time the window minimizes and i am back at my desktop. This problem continues to occur until i close firefox.
Force quit just the game itself.
Command + option + esc
It's like control + alt + delete on Windows.
