2nd problem, to close Firefox properly use File > Exit
:not with the [x] in upper right corner which close window
:see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit

Firefox will not open in Vista after upgrading to 9.

I updated FF to ver. 9, now it will not open at all. I have tried downloading it and re-installing, but I get an error message that: FF is already running and that it must be shutdown first. Then I tried to uninstall FF in completely, but again I get the message that it is "already running and must shutdown first." Also, I have tried to open FFin safe mode, but that does not work either. Vista all my AV is up to date. Side note IE9 and chrome work fine. Thanks.

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 that 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.

Problems connecting to the internet after Upgrade from windows 8.1 pro

Cant connect to the internet after upgrading to windows 8.1 pro, what can i do to rectify this problem?
Thanks

Hi,
You can also try to install the older version in compatible mode:
Windows 8.1 Wifi showing "limited" or "No Internet Access"
Solution: revert your network adapter driver back to an older version
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dennis_schnell/archive/2013/08/31/windows-8-1-wifi-showing-quot-limitied-quot-or-quot-no-internet-access-quot.aspx
In addition, disable power management on your network driver:
Open Network and Sharing Center.
Click the Change adapter settings link in the upper left of the navigation pane.
Right click the network connection you want to enable/disable power management support on and click Properties .
Click Configure .
On the Power Management tab, clear the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power check box.
If the issue still persists, please upload the event log for our research:

Sounds like a verification issue on whatever marketplace you bought PS Touch from. Did you try contacting Google or Apple to see what they say?

Cannot connect to internet after upgrade from 10.7.4 to 10.7.5

I have a new iMac and connect to internet with a data card (modem) Huawei E303.
It worked fine until after the upgrade from 10.7.4 to 10.7.5.
Now I can connect but there is no measurable signal. Other computers work using the same data card.

Hi, this has worked for a few...

System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.

No connection/no sound after Upgrade to Windows 8....

Hi! I Updated my Windows System a couple of days ago. Since that it's not possible to use Skype.
I usually use the Desktop version:
-> Sometimes if I try to call Echo Service, it connects and after 2-3 seconds call the sound disappears. It's not possible to call, the microphone doesn't react.
-> Sometimes it starts to call but doesn't connect anymore. (calls drops before)
-> If I call my regular contacts, neither I can hear them nor they can hear me.
-> After reading some hints I tried to install the newest version of Reatec Audio drive (I use Lenovo laptop). Since that moment the Echo Service is either unavailable ("Problems with playback device") or it starts to call but drops before connection.
If I se the Windows App it just doesn't open at all, only the blue screen appears.
Does anyone have some suggestions? I'm quite dissapointed.. Thanks in advance!

I assume you updated from Windows 8 > 8.1? You should go to the manufaturers site, and download windows 8.1 drivers for your PC. If you cannot find Win 8.1 drivers for your system, there might be compabillity issues.
Also make sure your OS is fully updated, along with IE.

Firefox will not enlarge pictures from ebay in small windows.

I cannot view pictures that require a new window..
Ebay and some sites have it set up where pictures are viewed in another window. For some reason my firefox will not do this.

I could neither enlarge images nor open a link in a new [pop-up] window. Both problems solved by disabling FoxyProxy extension.

Firefox will lot load web pages after upgrading to version 3.6.6

After loading 3.6.6 I can no longer access the internet. Norton Internet Security 2010 has quarantined 3 Firefox files: nssdbm3.dll, freebl3.dll, softokn3.dll
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to 3.6.6. Firefox worked fine prior to upgrade. After upgrade, Norton told me there was a security incident and I needed to reboot. I have not been able to use Firefox since rebooting.

Thanks for the reply. It doesn't have to process the php, it just has to show the HTML content. It did that just fine before the last upgrade but won't now.
I've seen that page you referenced: http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions.
It doesn't help. The things it says to look for aren't there for me, specifically:
browser.download.pluginOverrideTypes
plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types
I followed the rest of the instructions but it didn't help.
I did get it to quit opening tabs, instead it prompts me what it should do with the file every time now. What it should do, and used to do, is open the php page and display the HTML content.
Any other ideas?

Firefox will not connect to internet after upgrade. The window pops up but shows "connecting " in tab. And then it sit there. Close it down and then try to reopen it and get message " Firefox already running, Exit program or shut down computer" ???
