Firefox stopped running on my pc after the last update....task manager shows it as running but nothing shows up on the screen

The browser just will not open

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program. 
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

It's not just Download Helper v4.8.3, it's also RealPlayer: the download display window shows .mp3 files downloading, but nothing shows in the folder when it is done downloading.

# Question
It's not just Download Helper v4.8.3, it's also RealPlayer: the download display window shows .mp3 files downloading, but nothing shows in the folder when it is done downloading.
Also in the '''Properties''' window of Windows Explorer I '''no longer have the Details tab''', so I can't update my mp3 files with Artist, Album, Genre, etc. But the details tab does show up when I access it thru Windows Explorer.
I ran the AVG rescue disc an no viruses found. Now on '''FF3.6.15''' '''RealPlayer''' shows when I right click but then '''immediately disappears and an icon appears in the System Tray''', but as soon '''as I hover my mouse over it it disappears'''.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
How can I get this fixed? I have time-sensitive mp3s that I won't have access to anymore if I don't get this resolved in a hurry. (no pressure on you, I'm the one that's stressed about this) Can you help? Thanks so much for responding to this '''inquiry.''''''bold text'''

After downloading last update itunes and safari will not connect but mozilla and internet explorer does running windows vista

Itunes and safari will not connect after installing the last update, but mozilla and internet explorer does.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes, and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

I just tried to install a the new update for my iPad and it started but now its stuck with the apple in the window and it won't finish the update

My iPad is stuck with the apple and the updating line but it is not finishing the update and the iPad is stuck I can't shut it off nothing is working just the bright white apple in the window.

Hi rm44,
Try resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the reset is complete, the Home or Lock screen will display. Once the device is back up, go to Settings>General>About, and see what version is displaying. If it has the iOS number you were updating to, then you are all set.
If it has the old iOS version number, then the update did not take place. The best thing to do in that situation is to hook the device up to iTunes on the computer you sync with, and to update via iTunes.

Since the last update to IOS my Apple 4 runs out of battery in 3hrs or less What is causing this?

Since the last IOS Update, my Apple 4-S goes dead within a 3-4 hour period.. I was told by Verizon that Apple is coming out with another "Update" to correct that problem.. My Apple 5 doesn't seem to have this problem.. How soon is this problem going to be corrected?

Hello mncamp,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you're having an issue where your iPhone 4's battery seems to deplete faster than you expect. Please take a look at the article below for tips on optimizing your settings to maximize the batter performance on your iPhone.

HT1766 Sadly the last update is causing my battery to run constantly even if i am not using it. Ihave been told to reset my iphone and then set it up as a new device . How do I do this and keep my contacts and calendar?

I recently did an update and my iphone 4 battery now drains within 6 hours (preveiously would be fine for 36 hours), I was told to reset my iphone and then set it up as a new phone , so as not to have the problem recur. How do I do this and maintain my contacts and calendar if I am not using my computer back up?

Of course the battery "runs" constantly, otherwise the phone would die. Duh!
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Anyone else on Windows having troubles after the last update?

After getting the last update on my Windows computer of iTunes and QuickTIme I am getting the error:
Anyone else having this problem and how do I get help for it. It's annoying that it happens on each startup of my computer!
I'm running an i5 intel dell using Windows 7 Pro.

I am using an IPhone 4 and have been struggling with trying to keep my battery up since the last upgrade. Also, my Itunes and my AppleMobilDeviceService hog my CPU. Even without my iPhone attached, AppleMobilDeviceService runs at 99%. When I kill it, ITunes then runs at 99%.
When I 1st contacted Apple they wanted to try to sell me more Apple Care. When they realized my phone was under warranty, I was told to go to the Apple Store to get the problems resolved. At the Apple Store, I was told they could not do anything to my phone or I would loose everything. I was then instructed to to remove ITunes and reinstall. Then proceed to backup my phone and reinstall the software as new.
I followed their advice, but after the ITunes reinstall, the CPU issues were the same. ITunes indicates it is syncing my IPhone, but in actuality it hangs. (I left it in this state for 6 hours to ensure I was not getting impatient)
I grabbed a netbook that had an old version of ITunes installed, and it work OK; but with the exception that If i sync my data from my iPhone, i will loose everything.
I have consumed hours trying to work around this Apple software bug. At this point, I am thinking I know why Steve Jobs left the ship. I am frustrated with Apple and their inability to quickly resolve issues.
Maybe others are too?

Problems since the last update and unable to remove program from comp...

I haven't been able to run itunes since the last update. Anytime I try to run it, it gives me the preparing to install window and then a little while afterwards, says that the folder program files contains an invalid character. I tried moving the program out of the that folder even as far as to the desktop as the help topic suggested. I have tried removing the program from the comp, but it won't let me do that because of the same reason it won't run itunes. I am at a loss of what to do. I can't seem to be able to repair it nor can I remove it and reinstall. I really don't want a defunct program just eating space on my comp. Please help.

Can you install any program? If so can you install the MS cleanup utility?
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
If you can't install it then I'll need a email that I can send the exe to. I just did this for someone else so don't worry.

After the last upgrade, my firefox will not open. Task manager says it is running, but I get nothing.

I finally allowed the last update to run... upon completion, my browser window would not open. I rebooted, got the window to open but had no function on the navigation bar. The only way I could navigate the web was to go to my home page, google, search for the web page and click on the results. Refresh also would not work. I did another reboot and now I'm back to no visual evidence of the browser window being open. It seems like every update for the past few months crashes my ability to utilize my add-ons and my ability to see video is almost always compromised. I try to ignore updates but the reminder keeps popping up so frequently it becomes a nusiance and I cave to the pressure!

Same thing happens when i click restart.
No difference when i run it in Safe mode. And it won't let me create a new profile either. Is there anyway else i can extract my bookmarks? This is driving me crazy!

Did the crash reporter send any crash reports? 
You can see the crash reports in this folder:
"C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports"
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad
See also [[Firefox crashes when you open it]]
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. 
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]] 
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" 
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files) 
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox 
If that still causes the same problem then do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* 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.

Firefox is blocking (crushing) after the last update.

Hello there.
My Firefox is blocking (crushing) after the last update, which happened few days ago i think or maybe sooner. Ive noticed that happens every time i send a mail from Hotmail's web mail, and several times while i was doing really nothing (while i was afk). Is there any way that i can fix this? Can you tell me how to undo the last update just to try if its really the cause?
Thanks in advance and best wishes.

Were you running Firefox 23.0 (released Tuesday, August 6th) before upgrading to Firefox 23.0.1 (released Friday, August 16th)?

The right side scroll bar on firefox no longer has an up and down arrow after my last update. I have to fix this! Please help!

After my last update with Firefox, my right-hand scroll bar no longer has up and down arrows. I really need to get them back. I'm using a Mac laptop.

So the whole button is missing. I have no idea how to fix the default theme, since it is inside omni.ja, which is not accessible from just any archive handler, and I have not found any way to open it. My problems were with third party themes, and I managed to fix those by editing parts of the themes.
Maybe you could set up scrollbars yourself by using a userChrome.css file plus images. You could get some tips by opening third party themes and looking at their scrollbars.css files.
