Firefox v28 will not launch yahoo and yahoo email often hangs. the problems started with v28, does not even load the homepage in the addr bar on startup.

i set yahoo mail as a homepage.
start firefox v28 and the screen goes blank, nothing shows in the addr bar and it just sits with
the spinning green icon. no problems until i moved to v28. i often have issues with flash player
hanging and created a dos bat file to kill it but that is not what seems to be happening with yahoo. pretty much everything else works. FF freezes but killing the plug in releases it. the newer versions
of FF seem more flakey than the older ones. thanks for your help

How do you kill the Flash player plugin using a BAT file -- are you killing an Adobe Flash exe or Firefox's plugin-container.exe?
You can start up Firefox to a blank page using the Run box on the Start menu, with this:
firefox.exe "about:blank"
Hopefully that will at least get you in. Then, for Yahoo mail, make sure to access your mailbox through the Yahoo home page (or AT&T Yahoo home page, etc., as the case may be). And:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens you can remove your Yahoo cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
To rule out extensions as a possible culprit, could you try the site in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions, some advanced features, and some custom settings. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Note: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox closes, a small dialog should appear: click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings Safari Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is my ipad does not a Private Browsing switch

When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings>Safari>Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is, my ipad does not a Private Browsing switchat this location.

With iOS 7 on the iPad, you turn Private Browsing on and off by tapping the URL field. The screen that opens up has your bookmarks on it. In the bottom left corner is a hot button marked 'PRIVATE'. Tap on the word 'PRIVATE' to turn private browsing on or off. Yeah, there aren't any instructions anywhere that I can find to do this, and if you follow Yahoo's instructions, they don't work. This doesn't happen with the previous Apple OS, and you can restore your iPad to the older OS.

Hello, all of a sudden I fell down my system and completely erased all bookmarks. Your progress with restoration does not work, send me ansver,please

Hello, all of a sudden I fell down my system and completely erased all bookmarks. Your progress with restoration does not work, write me of bookmarks could not be loaded. Please advice on everything because I came and they seriously need it.

Did your computer crash or did Firefox crash causing the loss of the bookmarks?
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Just resolved Back to my Mac issue called Apple Suppport in the UK and they were really helpful if the error DNS server not responding the problem is with Apple server not your server ( I had tried to reboot by router, restart my laptop etc.

I was having problem with my Back to my Mac as message was saying DNS Server not responding . I tried to turn my WIFI off, then my router to no avail. Decided to call Apple Support line in the UK . I got a call back immediatly and great support. The advisor took over my screen and we check that my laptop was synchronising with I phots and it was. The adviser also told that when the message DNS server is not responding next to Back to my Mac is has to do with Apple Server not mine , router etc... Hope this save others some time! Rather than spending time truining on and off changing IP address etc...

Thanks for your thorough post. I too need to use BTMM on almost a daily basis for my job, and it has fallen short countlness times. I too have taken great pains to check all of the typical trouble shooting steps within iCloud and in the Apple keychain on each Mac etc, but after the latest rounds of system updates from Apple a few weeks ago to Mountain Lion, BTMM on one of my Macs is completely broken and unusable. I would concur that if you need remote access for "real" mission critical use, just bite the bullet and pay for a service like LogMeIn. You won't regret it and you will get real software support.

Both Firefox 12 & 13 take forever to load all websites. Firefox 11 works great. What did you change to cause this problem starting with 12?

I keep having to go back to 11. Supposedly 12 was to be faster. Instead it takes minuets to load every website. I have tried several betas of 13 with the same problem.

Did you try a new profile for the Firefox 13 version?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-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" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
You can try the portable Firefox version that comes with its own profile folder.
*http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
You can install multiple Firefox versions via a custom install in different installation folders.<br />
Do a custom install and install each version in its own program folder to use multiple Firefox versions.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Custom+installation+of+Firefox+on+Windows
Make sure not to start Firefox after the installation has finished.
Create a new profile exclusively for each Firefox version.
Create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch each Firefox version with its own profile.

"Tutorial - Getting Started with JSF" does not work

I tried the "Tutorial - Getting Started with JSF" located on http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe1013jdev/jsfintro/jsfintro.htm#t6, but the last part "Creating a conditional navigation" is not complete.
There are 2 issues
1. The return values in the code blocks in step 9 and 11 do not match with the given example code.
2. In step 12 I am missing the way to bind this message component to returned message from the login.
Could you please correct the code parts and add the message binding piece?
Thanks,
Aard Jan

My friend has a macbook and is having problems controlling he mouse/trackppad. The problem started with snow leopard and continues with Lion. The mouse moves at random across the screen and is difficult to control. Adding a separate mouse cures the proble

My friend has a Macbook running Lion. She uses the trackpad for her mouse. The mouse can't be controlled, except with great difficulty. It hops all around the screen at randon. The problem can be mitigated to some extent by using an external USB mouse; however, when this mouse is not is use, it keeps jumping at random around the screen.

I have a G5 power PC dual 2ghz 10.5.8 and my recording interface stopped outputting. I used 2 different interfaces and changed cables, neither solved my problem. With everything plugged up i can hear playback through the internal speaker.

I have tried System preferences, input and output. I have tried the midi controls in utilities. With everything hooked up correctly I cannot get the interface to playback through the box or record now. When i hit play I can hear the playback coming through the internal speaker on the tower. The interface previously worked fine, bought a second one and it is doing the same thing. Must be a system issue. Please help!

I recently changed from a pc to a mac book. The major issue I am having right now is getting yahoo to work properly. The major thing is autocomplete does not work and I do not know how to load my contacts to "mail".

I recently changed from a pc to a mac book. The major issue I am having right now is getting yahoo to work properly. The major thing is autocomplete does not work and I do not know how to load my contacts to "mail". Furthermore, I cannot attach any type of documents to my emails (Yahoo says there is a problem). I suspect there is a setting somewhere, but I don't know where. Javascript is enabled, so I am out of options

Which os are you using?
Yahoo issues should be posted in their forums or contact Yahoo tech support.

My yahoo and work emails are going into same folder - how do i stop

i just set up my enterprise email and my yahoo was going into the main "folder" on my bb prior to setting up my work/enterprise email. i still have the yahoo icon/folder as well. how do i change it to only have my work/enterprise emails go into the main mail folder/icon and my yahoo to just go to the yahoo icon? thanks so much!

HI,
Officially, You cant.
BES emails ALWAYS go into the Messages icon.
All messages go into the Messages icon.
You can get third party applications to create a seperate BES email icon, or you can get the BES to push an icon (if you BES has the ability/mods).
But you will always have the Messages icon with ALL messages.
Sorry.
I dont know the other third party places, but Im sure someone else can assist
(I think one place may be called Empower? A google search maybe?).

Firefox will not start. browser window does not even show up.

When i click on the firefox startup icon (either in the startup menu or the desktop shortcut), i get nothing. I have ccleanup browser monitor running for cleanup and i get an indication from there that firefox has stopped.
I've tried uninstalling firefox and have tried a couple of the more recent versions and still get this problem. After reinstalling firefox it seems to work for a few days and then this happens again. Once it starts, the only way is to reinstall firefox, but that's clearly not the answer to the problem.

Makes no difference whether I am in safe mode in the browser, and/or safe mode in the PC.
FF21: fresh install on Win 7 works fine.
Shutdown: restart: FF21 blocks at ~50 meg of program loaded, eventually opening up, but still unusably slow.
AV turned off, Firewall turned off - no different.
FF21 Hardware acceleration turned off - no different.
Fresh install AGAIN - works fine.

An mov file which play fine in quicktime on my mac mini will not play in quicktime on a windows 7 unit. Error 2048, quicktime does not understand this file. Any ideas as to why it works in mac version of quicktime and not windows version?

The .mov file sis downloaded from my Sony camera. It is not altered and plays fine on the Mac mini using QuickTime. It will not play on a Windows 7 unit using the latest version of Quicktime. Why would that be? Why will one version of QuickTime work and another not work?

Also make sure the file type is not of a DivX. That your camera supports. Which QT for Mac also supports, but the Windows version of QT does not support DivX, so you're not purchasing something for the Windows computer that is not needed?
