Firefox will not quit asking for Kerberos identity

Trying to join Active Directory. Went to System Prefs/Accounts/Login Options and clicked the join button. Entered in the server name and clicked ok. Got to where it ask for ad admin user and password. Entered in wrong info and never got any further. Canceled my way back out.
So now when I open Firefox 3.6.6 it will give me a window "Firefox requires that you type your Kerberos indentity" and has one field as a blank dropdown. The continue button is grayed out.
This pops up over and over and will not stop. Web pages will load in between the cancels when the message is not on screen.
I've deleted the Firefox user folder, reinstalled the app with no change.
What is it seeing that makes it want to know this identity and what do I need to do so things are back to normal?
Thanks for any suggestions,
John

Hi
Quit all open applications launch Terminal (/Applications/Utilities) and issue these commands:
sudo rm -R -v /Library/Preferences/DirectoryService
sudo rm -R -v /Library/Preferences/edu.mit.kerberos
sudo reboot h now
After the restart and on successful login, amend your Date & Time Preference Pane to reflect the local NTP Server. It's IP address will do. Now try again.

    Firefox will not quit.

    What is the wording of the message you get?  Your use of the word "qualify" hints that you might be trying to activate an upgrade version and it is asking you to provide the name and serial number for the older product that qualifies you to use the upgrade.

    ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them.  Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password.  Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.

  • Firefox will not quit when closed.

    I have two problems with Firefox. It "hangs up" after a couple of minutes and will not quit and when I go to restart my computer, I now have to manually close some windows to get the computer to restart.
    I was on Firefox 3 something and Firefox would go along nicely for about 10 minutes and then hang. The computer wasn't frozen - it just hung and you couldn't go to any other pages or connect to any other links.
    I upgraded to Firefox 7. Same problem. I upgraded to the latest version of Flash player. Same problem. I uninstalled the latest version of Flash player, reinstalled the earlier version, and then gave up when nothing changed and reinstalled the latest version again. That's the first problem.
    The other problem is that when the Foxfire window hangs and you close it down, Forefox is still running in the background and nothing, I mean nothing, not the Task Manager, but nothing will close it except rebooting the computer. If you restart, you get window that says nsAppShell:Event W... and you have to manually close that window to restart your computer and it takes for freaking ever.
    I have done everything I can think of and everything that has been suggested, as far as I know. I have uninstalled Firefox 7 and reinstalled it again. I have deleted the parent.lock file (yes, I remembered to delete it when I reinstalled FF7 again). I have checked every extension and plugin I have. I don't have many, but I did check them all. Doesn't matter whether they're disabled or not, Firefox still hangs up, although sometimes I get the nsAppShell window again and sometimes I don't. If I disable one plugin, I will not get the nsAppShell, but then the next time with everything else the same and that plugin still disabled, I will get it again. Now I'm getting a window about fonts that needs to be manually closed before I can restart the computer.
    I'm at the end of my rope. I love Firefox, but tomorrow for the first time in 6 years, I'm going to another browser because I need to be able to use my computer. You guys have no idea how absolutely frustrating this is. I'm having to use IE right now and I hate IE. But if I can't use Firefox, what else can I do?
    By the way, my computer worked fine all day yesterday. Last night there were some Microsoft updates that went in automatically when I shut down. Maybe it's those? But there is one other thing I saw and that was that Grease Monkey was updated today. Now I disabled Grease Monkey and still got the nsAppShell window and Firefox still hung up. So I uninstalled and reinstalled that too, and it still didn't make a difference either way. But maybe it has something to do with it, although I wouldn't know how to fix it if disabling Grease Monkey won't fix the problem.
    OK, post script: I closed Firefox down about an hour ago or more ago and couldn't get it to quit again. I decided to not restart the computer again, so I just left it go and went to IE. I just now, for a lark, tried to restart Firefox and it did restart, but it's taken an hour to do that. I went to another page and it hung up again. So I don't know, but I have to be able to be able to use my computer and right now that's impossible using FIrefox.

    OK, I think I have this solved. After reading my post over, I decided to rethink the problem. First thing I did was download Chrome and I tried using that and IE again and surprise! I was having the same problem on those browsers as well. So now we know it wasn't Firefox. I then figured maybe a slow computer meant a virus, so I ran scans. I've had both Avast and IOBit for months now and I've never had a problem with either of them before. Then I downloaded Malwarebytes and ran a third scan. They all picked some stuff up, but nothing serious. Then I tried disabling all the antivirus stuff and that didn't solve anything. But then I decided to keep Malwarebytes and I uninstalled IOBit Security and whammo - problem solved.
    I have no idea why out of the blue IOBit would be causing a problem like this so if someone knows, please let me in on the secret. Additionally, IE was working fairly well last night but not this morning. I also don't know why removing IOBit would take care of the nsAppShell issue, because supposedly, that's related to Firefox plug ins. And one more thing...when Comcast hooked my neighbor up to cable, they did it by putting a splitter on my line. They were messing about with the lines yesterday before I got on my computer last night trying to decide how to rerun them and today they did that, taking the splitter off my line and giving my neighbor his own line. That was finished about 30 minutes before I uninstalled IOBit. So....who knows?
    But I ain't about to look a gift horse in the mouth. I have my Firefox back and I am so sorry for bad mouthing you last night - I love you, Firefox!

  • Flash Player will not install:  Asks for authentication of a proxy server.

    Trying to install Flash Player.  The installer asks for confirmation of a proxy server:  American Family Online.   This is a third party content filter that I used over 3 years ago, but no longer use.   I cannot authenticate, since I do not use this service anymore.  this prevents me from installing Flash Player.  I cannot find a reference to this in browser settings or security settings and do not currently use a proxy server.  What do I need to do to get past this and install Flash Player?
    Thanks,
    Prowler61

    Could you check the progress of the install.
    (1) Physical file location
    The DLL is deposited in this folder:
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    Can you find NPSWF32_11_9_900_170.dll there?
    (2) Registry entry
    If the file exists, the next link in the chain is the registry entry Adobe leaves for Firefox to find.
    If you are comfortable using RegEdit, that should be here:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MozillaPlugins\@adobe.com/FlashPlayer

  • Help needed - app developed with 3.6, yet will not load - asking for 3.2 swz

    Hi
    I'm developing a flex 3 application
    I recently uploaded an update to a test environment and bumped into a strage behaviour
    the project started a while back and went through a number of versions of the sdk, namely 3.2, 3.5, 3.6
    the project is clearly set for 3.6 now and I made sure both the framework swf & swz were uploaded to the same location of the index html page and the application swf.
    for some wierd reason, when I test it on other computers, it displays the built in preloader, but fail to load the application,
    this is because during the preloading phase the framework is not yet loaded and initialized.
    when I checked the network monitor, it showd me a call to the 3.2 version of the flex framework, that could not be loaded
    I've made sure again - a - that my project uses 3.6 sdk, and b - that all versions of the framework (3.2, 3.5, 3.6) are up on the server.
    any Ideas on where I can go from here?
    it would be really appreciated
    cheers
    Yariv

    Hi and thank you for your comment
    I've made sure all sdk's and dependencies in the project lead to the right location on the hard drive where the 3.6 SDK is located
    it did not change anything
    when I test it on other computers and check the network monitor
    it still asks for 3.2 swz for an unknown reason
    the thing is, even when I've uploaded 3.2 swz & swf to the server
    the call for them is still returning a 404 not found...
    this is really fastrating
    any other ideas please?
    thanks

  • Weather Channel App will not Stop asking for Permission

    Device = BB Torch 9810
    Have installed/removed/re-installed Weather Channel App several times and it Constantly keeps asking for Permission (@ least 10 times a Day).
    Solution Please?

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Some of these apps get pretty tricky, let's take it on!
    You will need to turn your radio off, so pick a time when you can be close to the home phone.
    Go click on the options icon>click on device> the scroll to Application Resource monitor turn it on
    and let it shut down streaming apps as well. Save and exit. We just set the first trap!
    No scroll up one to application management. Click to open and Under Applications select optional.
    Now make sure the you delete every instance of the Weather Channel there may be a group of several. Save and exit and open your browser .click>options select clear browsing data. Clear everything cookies pushed content, download list cache, and history. Click the back button twice and leave the browser. Turn your a radios back on. Let's if our trap works and  the app is pushing content to your phone.
    Let me know how it goes!
    Thanks,

  • Iphoto will not stop asking for my confidential info from Facebook every time I open it.

    It allows me to deny, but will not stop asking

    Remember this was a test. It tells us that iPhoto is essentially sound and the issue is within your main library.
    Let's try repair that:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • I recently updated to Mac OS 10.6.5 so Firefox will not quit (unless forced to quit), and I get the following error message. "The application Firefox.app can't be opened -600." Same problem with Safari, Google Earth, I-Tunes, and Adobe Acrobat Reader.

    I have to actually force quit these applications for this to work. How do I fix this. I also upgraded to Firefox 3.6.13.

    Hi there,
    You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
    You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
    Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
    Nathan

  • Firefox will not load webpages and has trouble quiting

    Recently, firefox has randomly stopped being able to load pages as if the wireless was not work (redirected to the cannot find server page). I would think this was a problem with the internet, but when I restart my wireless it is not fixed and my other browsers do not see the same issue. When I restart firefox it works again, but I usually have to do this several times a day. Another issue, firefox will not quit when I do command Q. The window will close but the application will not quit, and I have to go and force quit it. Background info, using Macbook, wireless internet, firefox is up to date. Thanks for your help.

    By the way, why do you need LV to quit in development environment?
