Firefox 5 request to restart in 32-bit mode when using hotmail ... again .... :(

Not all plugins support 64 bit and if not then you need to start Firefox in 32 bit mode to use that plugin.
# Close Firefox
# Start the Finder and open the Applications folder
# Right click or control-click the Firefox.app icon
# Select "Get Info"
# Select or Deselect "Open in 32-bit mode"
# Close the "Firefox Info" window
# Restart Firefox

How do I set Firefox 4 to automatically start in 16-bit mode?

Certain web sites I use daily require Firefox 4 to be started in 16-bit mode. How do I set Firefox 4 to automatically start in 16-bit mode?

Do you mean 32 bit mode as opposed to the default 64 bit mode?
# Close Firefox
# Open the Applications folder in Finder
# Right click or control-click the Firefox.app icon
# Select "Get Info"
# Select or Deselect "Open in 32-bit mode"
# Close the "Firefox Info" window
# Restart Firefox

How to verify that Firefox 4.0 is running in 32 bit mode on a mac

WebEx will only work in 32 bit mode, so I have to make sure Firefox 4.0 is ONLY running this way on macintosh computers. How do I check if this is how it is running, and how to insure it only runs in 32 bit?

Firefox 4 runs in 64-bit mode by default on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. You can set Firefox 4 to always run in 32-bit mode in the Firefox.app "Get Info" window, as shown in this screenshot: http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc391/wymette/Firefox4GetInfo.png
#From the menu bar, select Firefox and then select Quit Firefox
#Open the Applications folder in Finder and locate the Firefox application icon.
#Hold down the control key while you click the Firefox icon and select Get Info from the list of menu items.
#In the "Firefox Info" window, click the box in front of "Open in 32-bit mode" so that it is checked.
#Close the "Firefox Info" window and then restart Firefox 4.

When I start firefox 4 on my mac osx 10.6.7 says requires plug in as run on 32 bit mode can I instal this plug in. Firefox does restart using 32 bit mode when I clock on restart using 32 bit mode ?

Want to start using firefox 4 without the need to ask it to run in 32 bit mode

Found the steps here...seems to work so far...

Have a great one!

Firefox wont run says pc needs to restart to complete installation, it never does- same message when i try to uninstall

firefox will not open. when I try to uninstall it I get a message that says
PC needs to restart to complete previous firefox installation
but when I reboot I get the same message, I can not access Firefox in any manner

Glad it helped, <br>It probably would have been better to get to the root cause of the problem but if it is working again that is the important thing.
You could have problems at some later date, and one of the most important things is likely to be your collection of bookmarks. It will be worthwhile regularly making manual backups of those, and keeping them somewhere safe outside of the main firefox folders, if you ever need to do a full uninstall and reinstall, including deletion of old firefox data at least you will then be able to reinstate bookmarks. see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
As an example of what can easily go wrong, and an add-on recommended by another poster see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/787020 thread] ''"I deleted by mistake bookmarks by uninstalling the previous version of Firefox beta 4.011b... Is there anyway to recover them?" ''
leading to http://www.pikey.me.uk/mozilla/#bb as a method of automatically backing up bookmarks and profile information.

HT4759 I have Windows Vista and I downloaded iTunes on my iPhone but it says you need Windows 7 or 8 to download on your computer so both iPhone and computer synced. Now that I downloaded my iTunes on my iPhone I can't even find them. Why???

I downloaded iCloud on my iPhone and wanted to download it on my computer but it says I need Windows 7 or 8! Why I can't find my iTunes on my iPhone?

Try installing iCloud version 2.1.3 for Vista. Here's a link to the Downloads page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1687

My itunes is saying it needs to update before I can download 7.0

for my iphone 5. I updated itunes, restarted my computer twice, and everytime I click upgrade for ios7 it says itunes needs to upgrade, then if I click download update, it says its up to date... What do i do?!

so it sounds like it hasn't updated yet (iTunes 11.1 is the latest)
try downloading straight from
http://apple.com/itunes/download

HT4623 my new iphone is not syncing with my mac computer says i need itunes 10.7 but i downloaded 10.7- still says same thing- what to do?

my new iphone 5 is not syncing with my mac computer- computer says i need itunes 10.7; i downloaded 10.7 but it still is not syncing

If you didn't install 10.7, install it. If you did, launch iTunes straight from the Applications folder.

Firefox Plugins Check says I need new Quicktime - but I don't

The Mozilla "Plug-ins Check" page says I have an outdated version of QuickTime Plug-in 7.6.3. So, I click the link to update it. Which takes me to Apple's website. Where I download a new version of QuickTime 7. So I download it -- so far, so good -- but then, when I go to install it, the Install Manager says that I ALREADY have the most current version of QuickTime (version 10) on my Mac, and it won't let me proceed.
So, now what? I can't find just a "plug-in" for Quicktime on Apple's website -- the only thing to download seems to be all of Quicktime. Should I disable the Quicktime 7 plug-in on Firefox? If I do, what will happen?
I am running Mac OS 10.6.3 and QuickTime Player 10.0 (113), and Firefox 3.6.3.
Thanks!
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== I ran the Mozilla Plugin checker

The Firefox Plugins check URL does not distinguish at all between the different versions of OS X and different Apple OS X compatible computers, and the different versions of plugins for Firefox different versions of OS X, in the messages it generates.
Therefore:
a G3 PPC CPU machine user running OS X 10.3.9 (7W98) PPC or OS X 10.4.11 (8S2167) Intel;
a G4 or G5 PPC CPU user running OS X 10.4.11 (8S165) PPC or OS X 10.5.8 (9L30) UB;
an Intel CPU user running OS X 10.4.11 (8S165) Intel or OS X 10.5.8 (9L30) UB;
will ALL get messages relating to updates (of ALL types, not only QuickTime, but also including Java, Microsoft Silverlight, and others) that are compatible (at this time) with OS X 10.6.0 (10A432) Intel - OS X 10.6.5 (10H574) Intel, completely regardless as to whether they can actually run under the different versions of OS X.
Furthermore:
1) A number of G3 PPC CPU machines did not ship with enough VRAM (16 MB VRAM minimum required - 64 MB VRAM or higher recommended) to be officially supported under QuickTime 7 builds; If the G3 PPC CPU machine is a tower models with PCI slots, then it is possible to upgrade to a PCI video card with more VRAM to meet those hardware requirements, but G3 CPU iMac, iBook, and PowerBook users have to stay with QuickTime 6.5.2 or QuickTime 6.5.3 (some OS X users have QuickTime 6.5.3 for Panther and Tiger builds installed, from what Apple's "Software Update" used to provide...), as the VRAM cannot be upgraded on non-tower models.
Ridiculously, QuickTime 7.6.4 is the highest version that Apple supports under OS X 10.4.11 (8S165) PPC or OS X 10.5.8 (9L30) UB, and, OS X 10.4.11 users running Fiirefox 3.6.12 will get information directing them to update to QuickTime 7.6.6
QuickTime 7.6.5 and 7.6.6 are supported under OS X 10.5.8 (9L30) UB (there is no real reason that Apple couldn't have supported QuickTime 7.6.5 and 7.6.6 builds under OS X 10.4.11 (8S165) PPC or OS X 10.5.8 (9L30) UB as well, as it's the same code base, besides the fact that Safari v4.1.3 (4533.19.4) for OS X 10.4.11 (8S165) PPC and OS X 10.5.8 (9L30) UB was just issued by Apple, so the 15 million G4 and G5 PPC users get updates for OS X 10.4.11 without getting a QuickTime 7 update keeping pace)
The new QuickTime X is for OS X 10.6.x ONLY (currently OS X 10.6.0 (10A432) Intel - OS X 10.6.5 (10H574) Intel), and uses a different code base than QuickTime 7. Therefore, no one expects QuickTime X for OS X 10.4.11 builds, although QuickTime X still could be ported for the most recent OS X 10.5.x build, if Apple wanted to.
In conclusion, be forewarned as well, that before updating any version of QuickTime 7 or installing OS X 10.5.x or OS X 10.6.x, OS X users should always back up ALL the contents of these folders:
/Library/QuickTime
and
System/Library/QuickTime
and
~/Library/QuickTime
as some of Apple's installers and updaters can wipe the QuickTime files (codecs and components), installed in those locations.
I hope this information helps shed some light on these subjects...

Firefox is up to date. need 128 bit security encryption

My firefox is up to date. In order to get paperless statements from credit cards I need to have 128 bit security encryption. Card company checked browser and did not continue to make the change to paperless, due to the fact that 128 bit security encryption was not found; also read that: you need to update your browser.
How do I get this encryption? thank you

Can't you bypass that test?<br />
There is usually a link on the page to continue anyway and ignore the check for the encryption check.
If websites complain about 128 bit encryption not available then that can be caused by the "U;" that is no longer present in the user agent of Firefox 4+ versions.
* https://developer.mozilla.org/en/User_Agent_Strings_Reference
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_agent#Encryption_strength_notations
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=572668 bug 572668] - Remove the crypto strength token from the UA string
Firefox supports 256 bit encryption ciphers (AES-256) since 2003 in Firebird 0.6, so all Firefox versions have 128 bit and 256 bit encryption.

I am not able to install firefox as it says I need to restart my computer to update an older version

I was cleaning up my laptop b/c it was running too slow and I uninstalled firefox with the plan of reinstalling it after I had gotten rid of everything I wanted to get rid of. Now when I try to reinstall it I am told I have an older version which needs to be updated and I should restart my computer to make that happen. Restarted computer 5 times and have gotten nowhere. I don't believe I have an older version on my computer as I pretty much deleted every single thing I ever downloaded or saved (on the plus side my computer is running much faster). Please help.

If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* 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 and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* 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.

Have 64 bit browser Youtube says I need 32 bit from Mozills to see videos. How to download?

I think it is clear above

Huh? So you're running Win7 64 bit, with FF7 64 bt w/ Flash 64 bit?
I run the above but on Linux and Youtube throws no such error, the bit version of the browser shouldn't matter, only the Flash version. Update to the latest version of Adobe Flash and restart FF:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=BUIGP
Alternatively, have you tried the HTML5/WebM version of the site? Join the Beta here:

And to make finding videos that are in WebM easier add marinos35's search plugin:

I cannot watch Directtv on my computer. I run XP and have mozilla ver 32. Says i need to install flash which I download and open then nothing happens...blank b

When attempting to watch Direct tv on my computer (runs XP) i needed to9 download a program from Direct TV which then tells me that I need to install Adobe Flash and provides a link. I get a message stating that I cannot install and refers to Internet Explorer. I then went to the Adobe website and proceeded to download flash which I did. When I clicked on the file a box came up which states install Flash but the box is empty and nothing happens. Pls help

Hello,
I notice in your system details that you have an outdated version of the Flash plugin for Firefox. In Firefox, can you try going to the following link and updating as appropriate:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
Alternatively you can go here and select Windows 7/Vista/XP/2008/2003 and Flash for Other Browsers (and deselect McAfee if you do not want that bundled in your Flash):
* https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
If you download Flash in Internet Explorer and not select the correct options, it might download the installer for Internet Explorer as opposed to for Firefox.
