Firefox will not open on desktop. It shows up on the task bar only and it does not allow me to restore or maximize. I reinstalled but the problem continues
I cannot access Firefox on my desktop.
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Today FF 5.0 was DL-d and installed (automatic update is/was active). Help->About-> shows version 5.0, and there were no problems with the install.
I have ASUS G72 running W7 with the latest MS updates via auto-update.
FF is pinned to the task bar.
Previous version(s) allowed for opening new windows and tabs by right click of FF icon on task bar, and selecting "Mozilla FireFox" (which opened new window) , or selecting "Open New Window." Opening a new tab in the current session could be done by selecting "Open New Tab."
These features do not operate in the latest version (5.0), or have I fumbled the ball (by not having something set right in this version.
Thanks in advance for you help. Keep up the great work.
;>If you have tabs on top and no menu then the tabs are in a "Windows" area so there is no space to right. If you put tabs back to the bottom you will have most of your old behavior but because of the changes to tabs on top most of the tab context menu stuff all of the context menu part was lost except the customize toolbar stuff, double-clicking on an empty spot was restored, and eventually during the FF 4 beta most of the tab extensions Firefox messed up eventually worked again except in the area to the right of the tabs.
The Windows part of that double-click has to maximize or restore to normal,
and you have to be able to drag the window by it;'s title bar.
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)] -
For some inexplicable reason, Safari 5.1 will not open in Windows 7. It appears in task manager briefly and then disappears. No windows open; I have tried everything. Any ideas??
I fixed the issue. It was related to the DEP settings on my windows machine.

My iPhone 4S on iOS7 is stuck on Apple Logo, and it goes off, then back to Apple Logo again for hours. Pressing home button together with sleep button does not help. Plugging the phone to Mac and restart does not help either. What do I do?
Have not backed up for months, so prefer not to lose the data.
Thank you for your help in advance.Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons. Click the Update or Restore button that iTunes offers.

I just downloaded lion and cloud does not show up in my system preferences. Where is it hiding so I can set up icloud and see what lion is offering that is different from snow leopard.
I purchased Lion on the app program but that did not seem to update my software or my operating system. Curious. It showed up on my menu bar saying it was downloading then disappeared. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Suggestions where I should look to make sure it is installed (which clearly it isn't)
Thanks Roger -

You are installing the Apple Mobile Device USB driver, which I did not have to do previously, so something in the updates has been left out / or changed. -
I have a new iphone 6 (64 Gb) that i have had for roughly 2 weeks. Last night i plugged in my charger that came in the box with the phone and plugged it into an outlet that is not used for anything else. My phone suddenly stopped charging and gave me the message that the accessory is not supported. The box of the charger seemed hot at the time. Thinking it was a faulty cord, i borrowed a friends charger today (also the original apple charger) and it would not charge and gave me the same message. I tried three more chargers and still no charge and i got the same message every single time. My phone is now dead and will not turn on. Can someone explain what is wrong? And if i am going to need a new phone and if warranty should cover it since it was not user caused damage
warranty will cover it. Did you try only by changing the power adapter or did you change both cable and power adapter?
if you did the latter, see this page: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/battery-power/
you'll be able to contact Apple Support from there. -
PLEASE HELP!! My mom is gonna kill me.. Tried recovering(restoring) with other pc's aswell but itunes does not show any message or any error (nothing)...Only the windows gives the message (Unknown Device) error 43.
Jailbreaking may or may not be legal, but either way it voids your warranty and cannot be discussed in an Apple hosted forum. When you jailbreak a phone you are giving up all Apple support. You are on your own, and will have to use non-Apple resources to resolve the problem.

I may have caused the problem by trying to block ads. How do I undo the 'block' I push a slide bar on screen.
Hello:
Certainly not here. I suggest you clear the cache and delete any eBay cookies and then try to visit the site (don't use a previous bookmark).

My menu bar hides and alt does not bring it back I am ready to delete foxfire please help
I have tried everything to restore my menu bar. I have read your notes about alt and starting in safe mode. The alt does not bring the menu temporarily up and the safe mode option is not available to me. When I was looking for foxfire support, I saw other browers out there that offer video and sound recording. This is a cool feature the browser I saw was called cometbird I think something like that. Anyway I saved it in my favorites but of course I can't find my favorites.
You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

I was updating my phone in itunes and the "update went wrong" and now the phone is not recognized by itunes. I unattatched the phone and it wont turn on or off, just shows a picture of the itunes symbol and a usb cord. In itunes it says that it is an unknown iphone and is in recovery mode so I need to restore the phone. If I restore the phone I loose all my pictures, which I dont want to do...and my contacts. Is there any way around this, so I can get my phone back to normal without wiping it all out? Thanks

Was you phone hacked/jailbroken BEFORE you hooked it up? -
My disk on my computer said there was no more space. It wanted me to force quit what I was using. When I did that, firefox lost all my history in sites and bookmarks. I can't make bookmarks when I press the star. It won't let me. It won't save my history of any site. I tried reinstalling firefox on my computer but it did not work. The back and forward buttons do not work, so i have to re-type the site of use another tap. I basically can't customize cause these buttons and things do not work.
If there is no space please free up some space, free space especiall over to c drice (System drive) is really necessary not only for firefox but for each and every program, for instance if I am right your computer must be running slow right now.
Once you have free up some space I would also recommended you to basically check "Is your antivirus is uptodate ???" if it's not please update it.
If problem persist I would recommended downloading a fresh latest version of firefox from www.mozilla.org
Hope it would solve your Problem

My iPad 1 is stuck at the boot logo. And it does not get recognized by iTunes. What do I do?
I have had this iPad for a long time, it has never done this before. It then suddenly out of nowhere decided to restart and it has been stuck in the bootlogo since. Yes I have tried putting it in DFU mode, but iTunes won't recognize it. What happened, and how can I fix it?
Did you try this?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't work, start here.
