Firefox V4 opens Windows error message "Cannot find...."

I updated Firefox to version 4. Now, every time I open Firefox a Windows Error popup appears stating...
Windows cannot find
'https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?.intl=us&rand=832809823&i=IWZkZHNKIXRzZnNydEpidXV4dSF0ZEqOZHh4fH5iU356YmNYcnM%3d&.src=ym'
In spite of the error message, Firefox proceeds to open normally and takes me to Yahoo.com. Closing the error message has no affect pro or con...so, the message is merely a nuisance. I've tried everything I can think of to permanently remove it with no success. Running a deep scan to find out if it is a virus didn't find anything. Am using XP Home edition. By the way, I get a similar Windows error message when I try to open GMAIL, and Firefox then opens my GMAIL account. Weird.
Am hoping someone can tell me how to prevent these messages from appearing. Thanks in advance!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Syincing error message "Cannot find required disk" - Help!

I have a third gen 4gig nano that I got at Christmas. I added two CD's onto it when I got it. Now, however, I'm having trouble syning anything else - that's all I've been able to put on it are the two CD's even though I've added more into my library. I keep getting the error message "Cannot find required disk". Can anyone help me or tell me what I need to do?
Thanks in advance!

Even though you're not getting a -50, I'd check on the following document. (Your message is one of the possible symptoms of the problem outlined in the document.)

File Manager unable to open, Windows error message...

When I try to open File Manager from Nokia PC Suite or Nokia Phone Browser in My Computer, a Windows error message suddenly appears and says "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close." I don't know what seems to be the problem. I've been using it for months and this is the only time I encountered a problem like this. How can I solve this problem?
I have the latest version of Nokia PC Suite (Version 6.85.12.0), my OS is Windows XP 2000, and I'm using a USB cable as a connector.
Please, I really do need to fix this one.

Error message, Cannot find iTunes Connect user

I cant access my I tunes from my Iphone, I get the following. Authentication Error. Cannot find iTunes connect user (2002)(2002)

Hello wallydt,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Check USB connections
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.
Best of luck,

Firefox 7 at launch get Windows error dialog "cannot find" URL

After upgrading to Firefox 7.0.1, on cold-launch of any URL via [Start][Favorites] menu, get *Windows* "cannot find" URL dialog BUT page DOES load in Firefox without problem. Cold-launch = Firefox not pre-loaded.
Still happens if I have IE8 open to the same URL prior to Firefox launch from [Start][Favorites].
I have tried suggestions on Help pages, did NOT fix.
'''UPDATE:''' Just got to work, and Firefox 7 does NOT have this problem.
'''UPDATE:''' Completely uninstalled Firefox 7, including \Apps Data\Mozilla folder, then reinstalled. Problem still there.

'''THANKS, the Registry edits worked.'''
Just unchecking '''Use DDE''' did not work, they just came back.
'''COMMENT:''' Wonder why upgrading to Firefox 7 caused this behavior, and just on my home desktop (''WinXP SP3''). This did '''not''' on my work desktop.
'''UPDATE:'''
Mentioned the my WinXP system at work did not have the problem.
Discovered that I did NOT have '''Empty Cache Button 1.9''' Add-on installed. AFTER installing it FF did have the same problem as my home system.
So it's the '''Empty Cache Button 1.9''' that screws-up the Windows DDE.

When I try to open a .jpeg in Bridge CC2014, I get the error message cannot find Photoshop CS6.

I have associated my .jpegs with Photoshop CC2014. I had to do this manually. Now, every other program opens them in Photoshop, except Adobe Bridge CC 2014.
If I try to Open a .jpeg (or any other file associated with Photoshop) Photoshop from bridge, it says It cannot find the photoshop cs6.exe file. Of course not! I uninstalled it before I installed CC. Maybe two years ago. And now Bridge CC2014 goes looking for that as the CS6 default Photoshop.exe?

I finally got it to work by going into Bridge->Edit>Preferences>Default settings. After choosing a file that is supposed to open in Photoshop, I chose to change it and browsed to Program Files>Adobe>Adobe Photoshop CC2014 and manually linking each filetype to the photoshop.exe.
I have spent the better part of a week getting Adobe software to work again after the Adobe CC2014 install. I will never trust Adobe CC updates again. They failed to warn me that CC2014 installs as a completely different copy rather than an update of CC. As a result, I ended up uninstalling CC apps after installing 2014. A mess that has cost me more than *30 hours* of chasing around forums, manually re-associating files. Even a registry hack! Found by a user, not by adobe.
Ordinary users shouldn't have to do this sort of thing after a normal install from the Creative Cloud panel. The genius software engineers at Adobe are being totally undercut by the keystone cops in the cc updates and install department.

Error message: cannot find flash.ocx

After receiving a POP UP for a free Adobe Flash Player I
choose to install it. Since then I get at least 50 POP UP messages
saying the same thing..(I have to "X" out of them to continue
processing) "Cannot find flash.ocx" - how do I either fix it or
delete it.

This has been a problem for quite a while in our company and it's pretty much an everyday occurrence.
We have around 500+ that get the exact same error: cannot find flash.ocx
The work around we use is to copy the Flash.ocx file from one PC that still has it and paste it into the C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash directory of the PC that has the problem.
In our case renaming the current updated file Flash10d.ocx to Flash.ocx also works but this may not work for you.
Now the two work arounds above are fine but as soon as adobe has an update the file is once again replaced with the latest updated file! And you have to perform the work around again.
You can see what the update does by looking at the install.log file located in the same directory. It’s just a text file so you can view it in Notepad C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
Bellow is a snipet of log file:
IfFileExists: file "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\UninstFl.exe" does not exist, jumping 948
IfFileExists: file "" does not exist, jumping 952
Delete: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash.ocx"
Delete: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash6.ocx"
Delete: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash6a.ocx"
The bellow does not work but interesting at that:
I did try editing the screen saver file directly to point it to a different directory, in which I would then place the Flash.ocx file but unfortunately although the .scr file can be viewed in Notepad, making a change to the file will destroy it. Please make a backup of the file first if you want to see whats inside. You can use Ctl + F to search for Flash.ocx etc..
Although not really a hindrance in day to day work screen burning could potentially be an issue!
Hope this helps someone.
Thanks,
Simon

Error message: cannot find browsers plug in directory

I am trying repeatedly to install flash player 9. I have
installed from the web site, I have down loaded the installer file
and ran that. I have downloaded the uninstaller, ran that,
rebooted, reinstalled from the web site, rebooted and still
nothing. I keep just getting white blank boxes. this is so
frustrating. When I run the downloaded installer it keeps coming up
with an error message that says flash player cannot detect your
browsers plug in directory. I don't know where to install the file
to, i don't know where the browsers plug in directory is. help
please

Hello Ian,
From what I understand, this problem occurs because of the fact that DSC loads some DLLs dynamically in some of its VIs. Since they are loaded dynamically (instead of having concrete search paths), it takes LabVIEW a while to find them...if it takes too long, you will receive the error you mentioned.
From what I understand, this problem does not occur in the 6.1 version of the DSC module. If you are still using 6.0.2, the simplest workaround for now is to use the File >> Open option in LabVIEW instead of double-clicking on the LLB.
I hope this suggestion helps. Good luck with your application.
Sincerely,
Darren N.

When i try to run Firefox i get a error message "cannot run unicode version of ATL80.dll install ANSI" this only happens with firefox,internet explorer, Opera and everything else run fine, have re-installed firefox but still the same. run fine.

unicode ATL80.dll error message when trying to run firefox
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== User Agent ==
Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) Presto/2.6.30 Version/10.60

I had this problem as well. I found that somehow the firefox.exe file had been set to run in compatibility mode for Windows 95.
To check this on your system Browse to the firefox folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) and right click on the file "firefox.exe".
Select "Properties" and then the "Compatibility" tab. Make sure the option "Run this program in compatibility mode for" is UNCHECKED.
Then try running Firefox as normal. Worked for me.
Best of Luck.
