Firefox reverts to older version on own. Now cannot re-install lost plugs even after updated rev.

Over time (months usually) firefox seems to revert to an earlier version that I was using, customization would be lost. This last instance, I lost plug ins and cannot get them to re-install though the process works as it always used to. I even tried re-installation after updating to the latest rev of firefox. I like Adblock and Noscript, but they will not re-install.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems, make sure that the window is not maximized:
*<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

When I download firefox, using recommended setting, or my own, all the sub files/folders like plugins, modules, updater end up on the desktop as well as in the file location. And when I try to put them into the file location, they don't. And when I delete them, FireFox won't open. I tried deleting FireFox and reinstalling it multiple times, and a message pops up sometimes that says FireFox may not have installed correctly, so I follow the steps, but all the extra icons on my desktop don't go away. This has happened every time I have downloaded FireFox. The browser itself works, but I need to know how to get rid of these icons, but still be able to use FireFox. This is on a new computer, with Windows 7.

Walk us through what happened with CleanUp, Michelle. In particular, was there no entry for QuickTime in the list of programs in CleanUp?

You've done great so far to upgrade to Leopard & install more RAM. Now install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
After you install the 10.5.8 update, click on the Apple in the menu & select Software Update. You will then be informed of some application updates. iTunes may be one of them. Then click to install the app updates.

Has anyone lost their Facebook after updating to a newer version on their iPhone?

Has anyone lost their Facebook after updating to a newer version on their iPhone? After updating I was emailed and told to go back to the old version and now my Facebook account is gone. Anyone know what's going on?

No problems here but you can re download the FB app from the App Store right on your iPhone.

Firefox won't open PDF files after I removed older version of PDF-xChange Viewer and installed the lastest version of PDF-xChange Viewer. MS Explorer which I am now force to use works OK. I have checked the Applications window in Tools/Options and it l

Firefox no longer opens PDF files. Explorer works OK. I have checked the Applications window in the Tools/Options and it says I am using PDF-xChange viewer....It just does not do anything. I get the message in the Download Error window which says...."could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder. Is the same error which I get when I attempt to open a PDF file on a webpage using the Firefox browser....Explorer works OK so I am now forced to Explorer to read PDF files via a browser.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After removing a old copy of PDF-xChange Viewer and updating to the last version

The error message suggests that the file (pdf) that you're trying to download cannot be saved in the folder Firefox tries to save it in.
This can be due to several things - it could be a non-existing folder (could be a problem with the updated application), the hard drive could be too full to store the file (less likely if you can generally surf the net without error messages) or it could contain an error.
To complicate things a little further, it seems to me that you have (at least) 3 different PDF-handling plugins in Firefox from different programs:
PDF-XChange Viewer Netscape Gecko Plugin
Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape "9.3.2"
Zeon PDF Plugin For Mozilla
This shouldn't matter too much, thou, as it will most likely simply use either the latest installed or the first one it finds when looking up associations for files of type 'pdf'.
First, in Tools > Options... > tab General > section File download, select "Save files in" and Browse your way to a (non-writeprotected!) folder on a drive where you're certain there is enough free space - like the Desktop folder to make the files end up on your Windows desktop.
Second, under Applications as you mention yourself, find all document types related to PDF files, and set these to one of the programs. Check the entire list to be sure there isn't one hiding under one of the other programs' document types (Adobe Acrobat document, PDF X-Change and Zeon).
Restart Firefox, and try opening a PDF again.
If it fails once more, try changing the documents again to one of the other programs, like "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)".
If it STILL fails, change it to simply "Save file". Then you can simply browse your way to the download folder with Windows Explorer, and doubleclick the PDF file to see which program actually handles PDF files as default on the machine, and if it works properly.
If Firefox flatly refuses to save the PDF files in a folder which you're certain both exist and has space for the file, some (probably security related) program is most likely interfering with Firefox, preventing it in storing PDF files on the system.

Updated iBooks on my ipad1 now not able to open bulky PDF which was opening easily on older version. Can I revert to older version ?

Please help

unless you have an older version of iBooks backed up on your computer there is no way to downgrade to a previous version. check your Trash Can and see if an older version is in there.
also if your going to be doing a lot of work with PDFs I highly recommed GoodReader, it is much more robust when dealing with PDFs than iBooks.

IWeb pages reverting to older version- not a browser issue, deleting prefs/caches no help

Hi everyone, forgive me if this is a newb question but I've scoured the internet for answers and all of them I've already tried with no luck. I'm using iWeb and encountering a problem that has me completely stumped. I'm trying to publish changes to my site, (I do not use mobileme, I publish to disk and upload files via Fetch) and for some reason something is changing my html files when I try to upload them. The html files are correct on my hard drive when I publish them, and yet when I upload them, they revert to the older version. This is not a browser issue, as I've cleared my cache, refreshed and tried using Safari, Firefox and Chrome with no luck. I've also tried 're-setting' iWeb by deleting iWeb preferences/cache, and tried moving the domain file from application support, creating a new website, deleting it and then re-loading the old site. Nothing, still the old site. It's new in iWeb, new when I open the html files on my drive, and old as soon as I upload.
I seem to remember having this problem before, and what I found was iWeb's cache kept replacing my new pages with the old ones every time I wanted to upload them. 'Re-setting' iWeb did the trick then, but it's not doing it now. Any ideas on what is going on? It's a little disconcerting seeing a file correct on the disk and then change itself, while uploading, into an incorrect version.
Using:
iWeb 3.0.3
Mac OS 10.6.7
Mac Pro 2.66 Dual core

If you make changes to a page there are files in the Scripts folder that get updated and must be uploaded also. Depending on what you're using to up load the files it can be setup to upload just those new or modified files.
Cyberduck is a free FTP client that works very well and if used in conjunction with this tutorial will upload only those new or modified files: #2 - Uploading only those new or newly edited and published files when using a 3rd party FTP client

Having trouble updating Safari after reverting to older version

Hi. I feel really dumb for doing this and I won't bore you with why, but I downloaded Safari 1.2 and replaced version 1.3.2 with it. Now when I try to update with Safari 1.3.1, the installer won't let me use my hard drive (when the screen comes up to choose a location for the program the HD has a big red exclamation point on it).
When I 'get info' on Safari, it says it is version 1.2 and I run into problems that I didn't have before when using it. I've tried to use the software updater, it says all of my programs are up to date.
What should I do? Is there a "cookie" or something similar that tells the updater program that I have already updated? Help! I just want to get my computer back the way it was.
Thanks in advance for any help.

You can only edit the last version. If you want to revert to an older version of your code to go on from there, you'll have to sync to that older version (like you did), then copy the source code, sync to the last version and paste the copied code.

Reverting to older versions of iTunes

Hey, just wondering if anyone knows the best method of reverting to a previous version of iTunes. I really hate how the new one (7.3) orders the artists by now putting # numbers last not first and anything with 'A' before it, ordered under the next letter (e.g. A Perfect Circle now under 'P' not 'A'). I dont know if I should open the iTunes file and choose 'Remove' it and re install an older version, but just worried about music being wiped from iTunes and having to re add all of it, which has happened and isn't fun. If anyone has anything on that, much appreciated.
Thanks
Windows XP

I've got the same question - how can I revert to a preview version, and will I keep my library?
I've got 7.3.2 now and it *****!!
The whole music stuttering issue is back and it's SLOW! Both in recognizing I've hooked up my iPod as well as with syncing and ejecting it again. Just when they improved that.. grumble!!!
(sorry to complain in your topic, but this is really really annoying me).
Anyway, the 2 previous version were running a lot smoother and faster, so I too would like to know how to backtrack.
Or an even better alternative: I really wish Apple would get their act together and get everything to WORK.
