Firefox used to work fine until I changed providers. Now it does not.

I had Hughes Net now I have AT&T Mi-Fi and firefox won't browse web pages. Internet explorer does still work.

  • Firefox used to work on my windows 8 machine, now it does not, even starting in safe mode and after un/reinstalling. message "firefox has stopped working".

    Firefox used to work fine, then a few days ago it just stopped. When I try to start it, it comes up with a message that "firefox has stopped working". That message comes up over the box that asks if I want to start in safe mode or reset firefox. when i try to close or cancel that message so I can try starting in safe mode, both sets of messages go away.
    if I try to start in safe mode using the shift key, the same thing occurs. The same thing occurred after I uninstalled and reinstalled.

    Im having problem setting up my Hotmail account, it used to work fine until few days ago. It says ive entered an incorrect username or password which i can sign in fine with them details if i use laptop or safari through the phone, Please help..

    I Sugges you to log into your hotmail acc and go to security and password change bit, then you will see two-step verification.. turn that off and you will be able to set it up on your iPhone/iPad or even Mac.
    Give your phone a restart before trying to set it up. Thanks

    The iBooks dictionary works fine for my iPhone 5, but it does not work for my iPad 2. Is this fixable?

    I went to the Audio store to see about getting a surround sound and the salesperson asked me why I wasn't using AirPlay, he said it was better than the Bluetooth, better quality. So I do have AirPlay on my Sony and I installed the app on my iPhone 5 but they can't find eachother.......when I try looking for my iPhone on my receiver it does not show it. The Sony display works through my TV, the set up screen is there but it says no devices found. Like I said, the Bluetooth finds the iPhone and works ok, but the AirPlay does not.....looking at the manuel it says that the AirPlay will recognize my device (iPhone 5) but it does not..........

    Your iCoud account remains in iCloud even if your device is restored.  (In fact, you can't delete an iCloud account from iCloud, you can only choose to stop using it.)  If the device is restored, or it may no longer be signed into your iCloud account but your account will still exist in iCloud.

  • Why will firefox not start on my laptop? can't uninstall or open the profile manager either. it simply does not run. it used to work fine until i had to restore my system.

    had firefox 4.0 & have been a user of firefox for a few years now. never had any problems. had to do a system restore after my computer detected a virus of some sort & i couldn't do anything. the virus kept popping up a bogus add for me to buy an antivirus program. had to restart laptop in safemode to initiate the restore. ever since then firefox has not opened. can't even uninstall it or open the profile manager. anything that has to do with firefox will simply not run/open at all. i'm stumped.

    System restore can cause problems as well as solve them, it has probably completely mucked up your Firefox installation.
    Try deleting your Firefox installation directory, the default location on 32 bit Windows is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
    Now re-install Firefox, it should pick up your current profile folder so you should not lose your bookmarks, passwords etc.

  • Firefox dumped me out. I uninstalled and tried to re-install, but now it won't re-install. I assume Microsoft Explorer is somehow sensing this and dumping me. Firefox used to work perfectly until recently. How can I re-install?

    I downloaded Firefox and it worked perfectly for awhile. It then dumped me out and my screen showed a blue background with a "critical error" message. It kept dumping me out, so I uninstalled Firefox and tried to re-install. Now it won't even re-install. As the re-install process almost finishes, I get dumped and the same "critical error" screen appears. I assume there is something with Microsoft or Explorer that is sensing what I'm trying to do and stopping me. How can I get Firefox to download again?

    I love a good anti-Microsoft story, but this isn't likely to be Redmond Sabotage.
    If you got a blue screen, you might be near the end of this computer (dying hardware) or need to reinstall your OS (reinstall Windows). Windows gets "clogged" and needs reinstalled ever six months to a couple years, depending on your use. System restore might help you here.
    You might have malware that's trashed critical system files (or just corrupted something which should be removed with a Firefox uninstall but can't), but [http://www.google.com/#q=blue+screen+of+death the blue screen is never a good sign]. System restore may or may not help in that case.
    Try installing something else and see if it succeeds. [http://openoffice.org/ Open Office] is a great application suite, though it's a bit large to download. [http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/ SpyBot] is only around 17MB IIRC.
    Best of luck!

  • Apple tv was working fine until power outage.  Now stuck on Computers and Settings Icons.  Cannot get back to normal function.

    Apple TV was installed and functional until power outage.  Now I am stuck on Computers and Settings Icons and cannot get back to normal operation.  Can get to settings which  I have tried many times.  Any thoughts?

    Happened once to me also following a nasty storm
    One of the 2 things worked for me (can't recall which):
    1. Power down everything. UNPLUG  your apple TV and whatever it's connected to, including the power cord and the HDMI cable (disconnect at both ends) Wait a minute or two.
    Reconnect everything: Restart.
    2. Totally Reset the Apple TV (this is more work since you'll need to add all your settings)
    Whatever worked: My Apple TV resurrected itself (unfortunately can't say the same for my DVD player).
    3. Lastly, the timing of the storm could be a cooincidence - this happened to someone else here (no storm invoived) and it turned out to be a temporary outage at Apple. see this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18027331#18027331
    For the future, if you've grown paranoid...
    I always unplug my computer for heavy storms (on the advice of a techie at power protection company), But  These days, if a storm is really severe (or very extended) I also unplug my AV equipment. the The ATV is chump change compared to the cost of my other components - but I've grown really dependant on it.
    Remember: Surge suppressors will take the first hit, but often that's it, their circuitry can then get blown. Also if you do unplug power,  Unplug power for everything (very easy by connecting everything to a Surge suppressor) just don't forget RF Cables or ethernet cables (If you leave your router connected).
    Personally, I leave my router on, and am willing to rebuy if neccessary, in order to at least access my laptops, and iPad. BUT this means I have to unplug the ethernet cables.
    Good luck, doubt your ATV is toasted if anything comes up.

  • Changed icon now iPhoto does not respond

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me, I went a bit silly changing my folder icons, but have now found that iPhoto does not work. I did change the icon for my pictures folder, and the data is still there, but now when I try to open iPhoto it just says 'loading library' and nothing happens. I am using iPhoto 4.0.3.
    Thanks
    G4 Powermac   Mac OS X (10.3.2)  

    HI, Stuart. Changing a folder's icon puts an invisible icon file inside the folder, so you changed your iPhoto Library folder's contents without iPhoto's participation or knowledge, and now iPhoto sees its database as damaged. This is a useful lesson in letting well enough alone, particularly where no useful purpose is actually served by your meddling. "Purely cosmetic" tweaks of the user interface can have more-than-cosmetic adverse effects on how things work (or don't).
    Delete your custom icon from the folder, then hold down the Shift and Option keys while starting iPhoto. Keep holding them down until you're asked whether you want the database rebuilt. Say Yes and let iPhoto do its work. You will probably get everything back again in good shape.
    If your adventures with custom icons haven't messed anything else up, you're probably lucky.

  • I have 2 external hard drives, but can not view photos from 1 hard drive in LR5 now. I used this hard drive in LR5 before, but now it does not show up. How do I get the hard drive to show up in LR5?

    Any ideas on how to connect hard drive back into LR5?

    Hi:
    Let's see if I can help you, help me.    Operating system is OS X, version 10.8.5.
    The photos on hard drive (1) have never been removed from Lightroom (or have they?)They have not been removed from LR. 
    Could you explain why hard drive (1) stopped appearing in Lightroom, it must have been because you did something, otherwise the photos on hard drive (1) will still appear there.LR always worked great, until I had to upgrade my operating system to get LR5 to work.  Then it has been one problem after another. 
    So, once I ran into this problem and before we started to chat….I simply RE-imported all the photos from (1).  They came in fine, except none of their key words came along with them.  So my ability to find anything is "0".  It was bad enough to have to do the import all over, but the thought of having to re-tag 1000"s of images is overwhelming.
    Thanks for your patience.
