I am an ordinary user and use FireFox on a Windows XP pro sp2 OS.
I can open and run FireFox by a variety of methods, and do not need to have any firefox: folders, files, or shortcuts on my Desktop unless I so wish.
I suspect you have a rather none standard installation. The quickest solution may well be to uninstall FireFox ( which you have presumably not been able to use anyway) and reinstall it. I would suggest; at least initially; you just use the standard default installation you are offered.
You will probably find this page of use, the [http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/3.6.13/releasenotes/ Release Notes], it includes links for downloading FireFox, and has advice and information about installing and downloading.
I am sure you will have further questions when you try to install but click on the blue link above and look at that page and then post back again and I am sure someone will try to help you.
I am assuming that you are already on the Internet with a browser such as Internet Explorer, and a broadband connection, or are you trying to install from a CD or something that has a FireFox install file on it. (if so what are you using, and what is the version of firefox)

  • Firefox doesn't accept some sites and IT'S FREEZING sometimes and you can't write anything or click anywhere...reaaly disaponting, I have to restart it and after a while same thing, I can't close any tab only by options close tab.

    Firefox doesn't accept some sites and IT'S FREEZING sometimes and you can't write anything or click anywhere...reaaly disaponting, I have to restart it and after a while same thing, I can't close any tab only by options close tab so you can't use Command Q or Command R for reloading...GRRRRRrrrr, hate this

    As I asked previously are you able to have tabs open as a window by using the right clicking option ?
    When you close Firefox you should use
    *'''Firefox button -> File -> Exit '''
    Are you doing that ?
    I suspect what may be happening is Firefox is hanging as it closes down.
    * see [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix#w_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it]]_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it
    * this explains how to check & if necessary kill the process [["Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message - How to fix it#w_end-firefox-processes]]_end-firefox-processes
    A related possible problem is that you may have built up many copies of the restore files. These are stored in the Firefox profile. The easiest method of finding the profile location istouse
    *use '''Firefox button -> Help -> Troubleshooting Information <br /> -> [Show Folder]'''
    *see [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
    You need to look for the files ''sessionstore.js'' and numbered duplicates of that. Delete them.

  • I have had FPCX since Sept, first used Oct.  I have not had one 'movie' export properly, first time since using FPCX.  Audio stops completely at some point and does not re-start.  Any ideas, folks?

    I have had FPCX since Sept, first used Oct.  I have not had one 'movie' export properly, first time since using FPCX.  Audio stops completely at some point and does not re-start.  Any ideas, folks?

    First, I suggest you limit the subject line of your question to a few words which will help someone identify the problem you are encountering. Putting the entire question there looks as though you are shouting.
    It would help anyone to identify your problem if you were to say what video codec (file format) you are using, and describe the method you are using in your attempts to export it.
    You could also list any relevant error messages you encounter.
    What version of FCP X are you using?
    All these things will make it easier for people to help you.

    Thank you, it worked with just F5. I don't know whether CTRL + F5 would work because the problem has not come back yet!

    You just need to reset the ipod by holding down the sleep button and home button  for ipod touch or the menu and centre button on others for about 10 seconds

  • TA21041 I can not open some folders and get not have permission to open the folder

    I can not open some folders and recieve the message: you do not have permission to open this folder. how I can solve it?

    Select that folder, choose Get Info from the File menu, and give yourself read access under Sharing & Permissions. This shouldn't be done on folders in system directories.

    should I do a full reset of TM (per the instructions at the link below) prior to setting up the TC?
    I'd start by just selecting the new destination. Do the "full reset" if you have trouble with that.
    do I need to set up the network portion first and then turn on TM?
    That might make things easier.
    even though my mini was previously only connected wirelessly to the old router, I plan to connect via Ethernet to the TC (for one thing, to make the initial backup run faster). Do I just turn AirPort settings off on the mini, or does that need to be on in order to setup the TC?
    To assure that your first backup is over Ethernet I'd turn off AirPort until it's done. Check the order in the Network panel of System Preferences. I'd move the Ethernet connection item to the top of the list.
    In other words, does the initial setup of the TC from my mini happen wirelessly or over Ethernet?
    Either way should work fine.
    I currently have a networked printer conneceted to my old router, which I will connect via Ethernet to the TC. Can I assume that, once I have set up all of my family's PCs/Macs/iDevices on the newly-established TC network, that I will have to re-establish connection to the printer as well?
    Not necessarily. I'd only do that if the printer isn't available after the switchover.
    I would like to reformat the second external drive (the one previously being used for TM backups) for possible reuse with another computer. Can I simply reconnect this to my mini and reformat?
    That's what I'd do.
    is TM going to see it and try to back it up?
    If you've already reconfigured Time Machine to use the Time Capsule drive, there shouldn't be a problem.

  • Firefox will not fully load and run anymore just out of the blue when I click to run it it just sits and does not respond I have totally uninstalled and reinstalled this many times and it still does the same thing why would it stop working?

    When I booted my computer up from cold and click firefox to run it sat there and tryed to load instead it sits there and does the nor responding thing. I have totally uninstalled the program a few times and re installed a new download and the same thing happen. I can not run firefox any longer and i have run it everyday for a very long time. This seems to be the only program with an issue.

    None of the stuff in " http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite " helps. I have tried and tried and I have even wipe the computer clean still didn't help. I got the same problem as he/she has got in the first posted. Can add some web pages but not all the web pages I want.. I should have never updated to 3.6.13... That's when it all started for me, from that version..... Now Version 3.6.14 is out, I was hoping the version 3.6.14 might would fix the problem wrong again....
    Funny thing is i can not even Bookmark Firefox.com!!!!!...lol
    So any ideas on how to fix it other than the link giving would help.
    Thanks.

  • Folder redirection configured in GPO does not create Documents folder and does not redirect

    Hi
    Another Folder Redirect-post - sorry for that, but I could not find an answer for my problem so far: even with consulting many threads here...
    We have an existing environment under Windows XP and want to move away from that. Now I ran into troubles with folder redirection...
    The following folder- and permission structure exists so far:
    \\<server>\<Users$-share>: This is the base folder for all users-directories
    -> Permissions: SYSTEM: Full / Administrators: Full / Users: Read&Execute, only this folder
    -> Share-permissions: Authenticated users: Full control
    \\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>: base folder for the specific user
    -> Permissions: SYSTEM: Full / Administrators: Full / User: Change, all permissions inherited onwards
    -> Giving only change permission prevent further problems with self-called "advanced users"... ;-)
    \\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\profil.V2: Profile directory of the user
    -> Of course here the permissions are set by the system: override the predefined permission
    \\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\daten: Atcual Home directory of the user
    \\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\daten\Documents: Suposed Documents directory of the user
    Now I am going to Server 2012 and Windows 8.1, configured the GPO to redirect Documents folder into the above mentioned:
    GPO - User configuration - Policies - Windows settings - Folder Redirection - Documents:
    Setting: Standart - redirects all folders to the same path
    Destination folder: Copy to base directory of the user
    I apply policy to the user, log out and in - it doesn't work, no folder Documents created in my home-folder, Folder Documents still configured at C:\Users\<user>\Documents
    A very special point:
    I also do Redirection of the My Pictures-folder: Define it to follow the Documents folder. Funnily that one works and creates and configures \\<server>\<Users$-share>\<username>\daten\Pictures
    -> So in my eyes, it should work!
    Then: I want to do the folder redirection without Offline Files, due to the fact, that our users work with dynamically assigned virtual desktops, which are been cleaned everytime a user logs off a machine. Therefore synchronizing doesn't make sense...
    I just cannot see, why this redirection does not work :-(
    Thank you very much for any help!
    Kind regards
    David

    Hi David,
    Before going further, would you please let me confirm the OS version of the Windows Server which you used to
    configure folder redirection? Based on your description, did you mean that those users (who will be applied folder redirection settings) logged on Windows XP client computer?
    When you configure the folder redirection setting in Document Properties (path:
    User Configuration-> Policies-> Windows Settings-> Folder Redirection-> Documents), please check if you checked “Also apply redirection policy to Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating system” in Settings
    tab. As below picture shows.
    à
    GPO - User configuration - Policies - Windows settings - Folder Redirection - Documents:
    à•Setting: Standart
    - redirects all folders to the same path
    à•Destination
    folder: Copy to base directory of the user
    Would you please provide a screenshot of those settings you describe? Meanwhile, please summarily describe
    that how you configure. For example, where this GPO link to? Or any other. It will help me to understand clearly. Thanks for your understanding.
    In addition, please use
    gpresult command to check if the folder redirection group policy was really applied.
    If any update, please feel free to let me know.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu

  • Ipod does not show on itunes and does not restored when it asked to

    I'm helping a friend.
    Her ipod nano 4gb is not showing either on My Computer or the iTunes.
    Yesterday the ipod can be detected and I did found out that the backlight of her ipod was not functioning. Going through the Ipod Settings is not resolving. But this is not the case.
    I have managed to charge like one hour and fix some songs inside and even put a video inside.
    Unplugged it and smoothly functioning iPod except for the non-functioning backlight.
    Today however, the ipod refuses to turn on.
    I plugged it to iTunes and it detects again as Ipod DFU Recovery bla-bla bubble and on the iTunes dialog boxes mentioning that the iPod needs to recovery. But it failed. It says waiting, preparing to recovery and failed. It does this over and over but nothing happens.
    I tried pressing the Menu and The Center simultaneously while iTunes preparing for recovery. It showed a window saying that "an iPod has been detected, but could not be identified properly. Bla-bla. An unknown error occurred (2005)"
    No info on Apple website about error code 2005.
    Can anyone help how to tackle this problem?
    fyi,
    My machine running XP Pro sp2
    iTunes 8.1.1.10
    I own a iPod 3rd gen Click wheel (over FW) and an iPhone 2G (over USB) which all of it sync smoothly.

    If your iPod is being recognised by Windows you could try this manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted here: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. Again if Windows is recognising the iPod these may too.

    iGadget Windows Only
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only

    If you can get your songs back to the computer then have a look here:

  • My mobile-me email accout does not receieve any emails and does not show the file system

    hi - my mobile me email account does not recieve any emails - plus, the file structur is not available on my mac. I am using iphone and ipad, there at least the file structure is visible. I received the notification, that my icloud storage is not sufficiant, I extend this to 80 GB, should not be an issue anymore. However, does not work - I can however sent emails...many thanks for any help

    Just to confirm ... by Verizon Web Portal, you mean the Verizon branded Yahoo! web portal page?  Correct?    Just want to be sure you're looking in the right place.
    If you go into your account settings on Verizon, does it say there that you are the "Yahoo!" experience (probably also has an option listed to allow you to change to AOL as well).
    If it says Yahoo! and you are looking on the Yahoo! web portal inbox, then it sounds like your mapping over to the Yahoo! side is not setup properly within the Verizon cloud.   That would take a call to tech support to fix.
    Just for giggles, have you tried changing your mailbox password (and not recofniguring any mail clients, etc.).   Just to make sure something isn't quickly grabbing the mail and downloading it before you can see it via the web portal.   Might want to do that just as an experiment.
    Another think to try is creating a sub-account for email and see if mail gets delivered to the address.

  • My Bluetooth connects, but does not recoginize my voice and does not read out text over the bluetooth

    I connect my Bluetooth (Moto Hint Bluetooth Ear bud) or my Samsung Bluetooth. It says connected but when I receive a call and say answer it does not answer the call, nor does it read out who is calling. I have allowed both devices to access my phone book/contacts. These devices worked fine on my Samsung Galaxy S4, but don't seem to work on the Motorola Turbo. Did I forget or miss something when setting up my phone? I even erased the Cache Partition thinking maybe somehow that is the problem, but nothing. Thanks!

        Ensuring your Bluetooth is working is very important jwralston. Especially if you are driving. Has this ever worked for you? If so, when did you start experiencing difficulites? What make and model Bluetooth are you using?

    Just because it is an 'old' email doesn't mean it's not a valid Apple ID account.
    Is the email that is showing one of your old email accounts?  If so, did you ever edit your Apple ID and change the primary email of your Apple ID to a new email, or did you simple create a totally new Apple ID?
