Firefox will not load. Attempted to uninstall, but said it said it could not because Firefox was still running.

I have checked hard drive for problems...nothing. I have Norton's Internet Security running...nothing apparently happening security-wise.
I have not added any new programs or changed anything.

Thanks JorgeP and jevanstar for you response to my problem. I really appreciate it. This is my first time using this method of problem solving. Glad it is available.
I tried to access the SafeMode with the instructions you provide. When clicking on the Mozilla program in the list, surprisingly there was not a drop down for Safe Mode! There is one on my desktop, but not the problematic laptop. Don't understand that. Apparently, no way into SafeMode.
Next, I attempted ot uninstall Firefox. It would not allow it because the message said that the program was running, although there is no evidence that it is.
Next, I decided to go back to an earlier date and do a Restore. First, I tried two days prior to the problem. Restore said that it could not restore due to an error. Nothing changed.
I then went back to a month previous and attempted to restore, but alas, the same problem with restore.
Yesterday, I carried the laptop (Gateway, several years old by the way, but had been working beautifully), to a friend in the computer repair business for a check up.
If anyone has an idea, let me know.

Hello Lcw2610,
I would recommend deleting the affected movie from your iPad, and redownloading the movie.

Using Mac OSX 10.7.1: recently replaced our DSL modum & wireless router and suddently I can't get some web sites to load. Many do, but Twitter and others often do not. I've reset the browsing historty, forms, cookies and cache but it continues to happen.

Ok, first thing, why are you doing anything with WAMP or XAMPP when you're running a Mac? MAMP should be what you want unless you're not explaining part of what you are trying to do.
2nd thing, I haven't used MAMP in a while, but there are two possibilities for not seeing what you want to see once you have MAMP turned on. One possibility is that you already have "Web Sharing" turned on in your Sharing Preference Pane. If that is the case, port 80 will already be taken and you'll be seeing the default Apache install (files are stored at /Library/WebServer/Documents/). This would push MAMP to either not turn on it's web serving capabilities, or to push it to another port. The other possibility is that MAMP defaults to another port anyway. So instead of localhost, you might have to type in localhost:8080 or something similar. I believe the control panel that gets installed can take you to the currently MAMP-served page, and it can also help you change which port your serving on.
80 is the default port for web serving and the ONLY port that will let you get straight to the server without having to type in webaddress.com:port# instead of just webaddress.com.

I wanted a solution to the problem I was having on Win 7 Pro Service Pack 1 in that links on an open Adobe Acrobat file will not open in my Firefox Browser 33.0.2. The Error I receive is "Acrobat could not run the web browser. Unknown Error. (123)"

Change browsers. See what happens.
Be well...

Firefox will only load secure websites ONLY , https

This is a strange one...after a period of time of operating normally, suddenly firefox will only load secure websites.
I have turned off my firewall and turned off my cybersitter and it still only loads secure sites.
Any thoughts.

Running Firefox with addons disabled is no solution. The addons are the only reason I use Firefox! Please fix this before Google completely takes over my desktop!

When I Close firefox v34 I get nsAppShell:EventWindow firefox.exe instruction at "0x05d2230e referenced memory at "0x00000004". The memory could not be "read"

Running Windows XP Pro SP3. Changed a monitor today and at some point afterward, every time I close Firefox, I receive the following Error Message "nsAppShell:EventWindow firefox.exe - Instruction at "0x05d2230e referenced memory at "0x00000004". The memory could not be "read". The next time I start Firefox it seems to work normally. I did try resetting Firefox, but no difference so I restored it to a previous session as the Reset eliminated all of my history, bookmarks, etc.

Hello driadmin, go for a clean re-install, this means you '''remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox'''. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page] (full installer) and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default on Windows:
*C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
*C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
#Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
#Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Thank you.

I formatted my macbookpro and followed the usual instructions to re-install but I get a message : Could not find installation information for this machine. This was at the OS X Utilities.My macbook is now blank.

Try booting into Internet Recovery mode (booting whilst holding down the command, option and R keys). It will take a while to load as you're booting from Apple's servers across the Internet.
Once there, use Disk Utility to erase the "Macintosh HD" partition. After the drive is formatted try reinstalling the OS.
Good luck,

DBD: Error while trying to load the transport provider for odbc. Failed to load the library. System error: The specified module could not be found.

Hello Everyone,
We are getting an error while trying to create an Universe via Microsoft -> MS Analysis Services 2014 -> OLEDB for OLAP Provider under Connection in UDT -"DBD: Error while trying to load the transport provider for odbc. Failed to load the library. System error: The specified module could not be found." We have installed BI 4.1 SP05 in our system. As per earlier posts in scn in BO XI 3.x this issue used to be for improper installation of Integration KIT but in our scenarion Integration KIT is within the BO 4.1 package so no seperate installation is required. Moreover I have checked whether all the driver is present under file: "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\dataAccess\connectionServer\drivers" and seems everything is fine. But still I am getting this error. One important point is we could use IDT because in IDT still we don't have option to connect with 'Microsoft Analysis Services - 2014 (XMLA)' as we are using Microsoft Analysis Services 2014 version.
Kindly help if anyone has faced the same problem with SAP BO 4.1.
Thanks and Best Regards,
