Firefox updated last night to 11.0, and now whatever website I'm on, the writing appears as gibberish or all broken up until I mouse over it. This happens on tabs, the facebook sidebar tickers, search fields, you name it. Very strange...

Things appear fine as I type them, but after a while, I will look up at a tab or search field, and the writing appears strangely. If I mouse over the gibberish text, it will return to normal.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

After firefox update last night to 36.0.4, it is not starting?

After firefox update last night to 36.0.4. I cannot open Firefox. It says Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open.
I try to close it under task manager, it is not listed under process but under details - Cannot end task, as it says access is denied.
I try to look for help on the net. It says to delete the file PARENT.LOCK, It says action cannot be complete as the file is open in Firefox.
I try to shut down my computer, even log out on my current user but cannot delete the file Parent.lock.
I am using a win 8.0
The easiest way is to uninstall and to install a fresh application, but will this wipe out all my bookmarks etc....
Thanks,
Coco

Hi Coco,
Thank you for your question, since the parent.lock file cannot be removed it is possible to create a new profile:

Contact the original owner, and ask them to remove the device from their icloud.

I accepted iOS 8.3 upgrade last night on our iPad and now cannot turn it on - get as far as a black screen with the picture of the charger and itunes logo - help please!

I accepted the latest 8.3 iOS upgrade last night which resulted in my not being able to turn on the iPad.
Following the troubleshooting guidelines I can get as far as the black screen by forcing a restart (holding both buttons) all I can see is the diagrammatic picture of the charger and the iTunes red logo. I cannot move on from here and the instructions indicated that a message should show offering the iOS upgrade - but this is not happening for me!
If anyone can help it would be hugely appreciated - many thanks.
I think we have an iPad 2 (approx. 2 years old)

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
It sounds like your iPad is in recovery mode after an error in the update process that may have occurred. The solution to this would be to plug it into a computer running the latest version of iTunes and press the restore button. This will ease the iPad and reinstall iOS. Hopefully you setup an iCloud or iTunes backup for the device.

I just updated my IPad to iOS 5 and now can not send email. The error message says the server rejects the address which is not true Asti sends on my desktop.

I just updated my iPad to iOS 5 and now can't send email- I have tried the obvious but no luck. Any suggestions?

Usually 'authentication required' means that you need to submit a username (or e-mail address) and password to the e-mail server, when sending a message. This logic is not different between Outlook and Thunderbird, and even with the latest and previous version of Thunderbird.
Of course you can try the previous version again to see if it solves the problem, although you'll be less secure because you would be missing the latest fixes.
If you'd be willing to get back to Thunderbird, say if your frustration level with your new app would increase too much, please see our article [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cannot-send-messages cannot send messages] for further help.
In all other cases I'd appreciate it if you could mark this as answer so we know you don't need further help.

After Firefox updated last night, I am no longer able to use it. "Unable to connect" I have added it back through the firewall, nothing works. Help!

Starting last night, after an update, I am no longer able to use Firefox.
"Problem loading page"
"Unable to connect"
Unable to connect"
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at.....
I have tried various things, even uninstalled and re-installed, took it out of the firewall, and added it back in. But nothing is working.
Please help!
Thank You
Mara

Hello Mara, see if the next is helpful : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]
also, try to boot the computer in [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows Safe mode with network support] (press F8 on the boot screen) and check firefox again.
(If works in Windows Safe mode then probably you have problem with other software, like security software or maybe a system driver, that is running on your computer).
thank you

Last night, WiFi connection dropped and now it's a nightmare...

Last night, my iPad2 suddenly became unable to detect the router form more than about six feet away. It's been working fine since it was purchased just before Christmas, however now, even sitting in the same room about three feet away, it drops from two bars to one, and I need to hold the iPad virtually on top of the router to get it to pick it up.
At home, I reset the router, updated the firmware, I've playeed with the router's channels, modes, name, every suggestion I could find online. I reset the iPad, updated it, hard reset.
I took it to the Apple store today, and it connected to their WiFi with no problems, full signal. I'm guessing, however, they don't use the average type of router you'd find in a normal household in their cavernous stores. As they could detect no issues with it, I was sent away, no better off.
It's still under warranty - it's barely four months old - and I'm at my wits end already. I've spent all day online (via my laptop!) and read endless forums about users with sinmilar issues, however I've been happily using the iPad since purchase without issue. Any suggesitons welcome; my ideal outcome? I'd quite like it replaced to be honest, but Apple won't be willing to do it obviously if they can't replicate the problem.
In my opinion, it's an issue with the antenna - I've had this issue with a wireless card in a laptop many years ago, whereby a signal was possible, but severely diminished. I may be wrong, of course, but it's very frustrating, and a strange thing to happen out of the blue.

It's a Netgear VDMG280 (crap router supplied by Virgin)
2.4
I've restarted the iPad constantly, with every change to the router's settings; nothing seems to be helping.
I have the usual types of kit in the house, two laptops,an xbox, a ps3, and they are all connecting fine. It literally happened last night - sitting watching the ITVplayer in the other room, and the signal disappeared and couldn't pick it up again.
I presently have one bar sitting about three feet away, directly in front of the router. Asbolutely furious about it, and if it's the result of an update, I don't really feel it's fit for purpose and I'd like to think I'm well within my rights to request a replacement for it - but I'd rather just sort it myself, frankly.
It's very disappointing, to be sitting here with a £400 Angry Birds player.

Firefox updated automatically while internet was disconnected, and now it is showing that I have the updated version of Firefox. What should I do?

I started Firefox while the internet was disconnected. But before opening, Firefox updated automatically, not notifying me that I was disconnected. It now shows that I have the most updated version of Firefox. What should I do?
Operating System: Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2.

It will have downloaded the update whilst you were connected, and the next time you started Firefox it will have installed the update whether you were connected or not.

I just installed the Firefox update in my Dell Studio laptop and now it will not start nor can it effect automatice repairs. What to do?

I had had problems with the Quick time feature that came with Nikon's Picture Project software and had to delete it. (Actually, the operating system deleted it and Picture project when it repaired itself by reverting to a previous configuration.) I noticed that Quick time was again installed when I updated Firefox. Since I can't get the machine up and running, I am at a loss as to how to remove Quick time if that is what needs to be done.

I suggest taking it back to Best Buy. Once it has been opened, Apple will not handle the phone. Best Buy or another 3rd party are your only choices. Best Buy probably made an error when replacing the screen. Understand they are not an authorized Apple Service Center.

Updated to iTunes 11.1.1 and now I can't purchase from the store

After updating to iTunes 11.1.1 I tried to purchase a music album and got a message that, since this is the first time I've tried to purchase from this computer, I need to answer security questions. It is NOT the first time, this is my desktop from which I make all my purchases and to which I sync my iPhone, iPad and iPod, but I figured I'd just go along and get to my purchase in short order. I answered the questions, and it rejected my answers. I tried again, same thing, except now it said I was going to be locked out of my account if I answered wrong again.
I signed out of my account and signed in again and the same thing keeps happening.
I was already signed in, and I have money sitting in my account waiting to be spent. All I want is to continue purchasing and enjoying music and apps. Please tell me what happened when I upgraded iTunes that has me unable to use the store.

Issue is resolved. I completely quit iTunes, then opened the app and answered the questions and it let me in and allowed me to complete my purchase. I guess not completely quitting and re-entering after the upgrade caused the glitch.

Firefox updated last night and now when I click on an external link I get a message saying "There was a problem sending the command to the program".

I've tried opening a link to a POP3 email account off of a messenger program as well as other site links sent to me through a messenger program. I get the same message, each time.
Also links sent to me in Thunderbird do not open in a browser window.

I did an update to my wife's iPhone and now it won't connect through the 3G. It says you are not connected to a cellular data service

I Updated my wife's iPhone the other to the new operating system. It asked me first to use iCloud backup so I did. After the update was complete my wife can use wifi but when we try the 3G it says you are not connected to a cellular data service.
IT shows Bell as the provider but we seem to have lost something during this update.
can someone help me please.

Check Settings>General>Cellular and make sure Cellular Data is set to On. If it is, try putting it in Airplane mode for 15 seconds, then turn Airplane mode off again. If it persists, give you carrier a call to confirm that it's properly activated with them and that your data plan is properly provisioned.

I updated to iTunes 10.5.3 and now it won't connect to the iTunes store.

I've done everything on the Apple iTunes support website. I uninstalled v.10.5.3 and installed version 10.4 and it worked fine and as soon as I updated back to 10.5.3 the store quit working. Anybody else have this problem?

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.

Firefox updated itself to 3.6.9 and now I can't print anything from an open page, because HP Smart Web Printing doesn't work with this version. What's a replacement extension?

"An unknown error occurred while printing."

I have the exact same problem. I updated to 3.6.12 and encountered the "blank page" printing problem. I ended up re installing Firefox 3.0.19. Printing works great. Also Firefox 3.5.15 gave the same blank page printing problem. I also installed "Better privacy" and " Ghostery"at the time of updates. These programs do not run under the 3.0.19 version. Not sure if if they are related to the problem. Good luck and hope a solution to the problem comes about.
