  • My Firefox will not search for websites

    My Firefox will not search for websites etc. I put in a parameter and it will not do anything. When I use anything else (such as Yahoo! search) it works fine. I type in a word/website/name etc. into the search box on Firefox and nothing happens. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and still it won't work.

    A few notes for the morning:
    (1) If you used the Reset Firefox feature, a folder will have appeared on your desktop named Old Firefox Data. Please retain that folder so you can revert your Reset if needed.
    (2) I don't know why you would intentionally open the IP addresses of servers that have demonstrated their untrustworthiness by relaying spam to you. If you want to find out who controls a server, you can look it up on one of the regional registries for IP addresses:
    * RIPE (for Europe): http://www.ripe.net/ (RIPE Database search box mid-page)
    * ARIN (for North America): https://www.arin.net/ (Search WHOIS upper right)
    * APNIC (for Asia): http://www.apnic.net/ (Whois Search to the right of the image)

  • After upgrading to 27, firefox will not start. Saw an error message during the upgrade process.

    After upgrading to 27, firefox will not start. Saw an error message during the upgrade process but cannot remember.
    Tried to run firefox.exe -P but receive error message:
    XML Parsing error: undefined entity
    Location: chrome://mozapps/content/profile/profileSelection.xul
    Line number 18, Column 1:
    <dialog
    ^
    Running on Windows XP SP3. No problem whatsoever before upgrading to 27. Sending this from Chrome as I cannot open Firefox at all.

    Thanks jschaer2000: after starting it once in safe mode, I closed Mozilla and tried several restarts in normal mode. So far, all worked:-)
    Thank you very much again.
    Still the automatic update process bothers me: it took me several days to discover the reason to the malfunction, since when I removed the problematic version from Add and Remove Programs, I didn't pay attention at first that it was another version, not v26 which I installed from my folder.
    In addition, I like to save the installation files before I run new programs and if I didn't have v26 exe file, I couldn't have operated Mozilla at all. Not that it was fun to remove and install again each time v27 didn't react, but it was better than nothing, I still prefer Mozilla over its competition.

  • Firefox 6 will not allow you to paste a cookie into the addressbar like all previous versions have. I use software to replace web chat and must do this and have been able to do it in all past versions. What's the deal?

    Thank you for your response.
    After searching around for any pointers to my problem, the above fixes I listed were the things that came closest to maybe addressing the issue, that I was able to locate. But since none worked, and as you pointed out, it is now clear they will only help towards viewing sent images rather than helping with inserting any images in the body of the email, which is the problem I suddenly started facing today.
    Coming to your suggestion, on opening the Write window, the Insert choice on the menu bar is indeed available. And I had already tried using that, by clicking on the '''Insert ----> Image''' option listed. That opens
    up the "Image Properties" box but using that has not resolved the matter either. It results in an image box getting inserted within the email but without the actual image itself.
    Plus, normally I am able to use the '''Paste''' function in the Edit menu or through right-click, but today the (Cut/Copy/Paste) functions have gone inactive, thereby disallowing me to use that to place an image within the email.

  • I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro, I am trying to run MW3 but it will not work without crashing a few minuets into the game. The general specs on my computer are a dual processor 2.53 ghz. 4 gb ram and a NVIDIA geforce 9400 (9600 is the alternate card)

    Things to note:
    I have been unable to update firmware on this computer for about a year now. Im not sure why.
    I am running a bootleg copy of Windows XP on this computer, I would not like to spend $149 to get Windows 7 if possible.
    any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Why don't you take your 'old' MBP into your local Apple Store and have them check out everything that's wrong with it - and I mean everything? Then, when you get an estimate about how much it would cost to get the machine completely repaired, ask about the Apple flat-rate repair pricing?
    It's worth a shot - and with what you may save, you can put in the bank for a new MBP.

    You can't sign into iCloud using your Apple ID on a PC, you have to sign in with an existing iCloud ID.  You have to first create your iCloud account on an iOS device or Mac.  Then you can sign in with the ID on your PC.

  • Firefox will not start when computer is restarted.

    When I shut down or restart my computer, Firefox will not start. I will click the shortcuts, but nothing happens. There is no error message and as far as I know from searching, I have no security applications prohibiting it from starting. Once I reinstall after my computer loads, it works perfectly. How can I fix this so I don't have to reinstall Firefox daily when I turn on my computer?

    Hello ShirodieSchone, try to run Firefox once as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator).
    also, if the above doesn't work, see if you can start firefox in [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#os=win7&browser=fx19 safe mode] by by holding down the shift key while starting Firefox.
    Otherwise try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) and see if that helps.
    thank you

    As a user, firefox will open for me. As a user, firefox will not open for my husband. Yesterday McAfee had to remotely turn the McAfee firewall back on. I don't know if during this process it somehow affected firefox.

    Hi DoesFirefoxRespond,
    Thank you for your questions. I understand that there is an issue with accessing some bank sites. If you have already disabled Firefox add ons and have still experienced the same issue, please try the following:
    # Open a Private Window and login to the bank site to see if it causes the same issue. It will not use active logins or previous history.
    # [[How to clear the Firefox cache]]
    Please post back with your results, we are happy to help.

  • Firefox will not open when i double click on the icon

    i click on all my available shortcuts to open firefox and it will not open up. Before this started firefox just crashed. So i uninstalled it and installed it again and nothing.

    Hello Diana.
    Unfortunately, this kind of problems are the hardest to fix because they're the hardest to diagnose. For now, try reading this support article:

  • I started working for ChaCha, and now firefox will not work unless I manually close it in the process tree every time I want to use it. I also cannot open more than 1 page at a time.

    I started working for ChaCha 11/26/2010, I had to download a program to take incoming questions.
    Ever since then, Firefox will not work correctly, even if I am totally logged out of ChaCha, and the page is closed, if I try to open my browser using Firefox, it will not open, I have to go into the processor tree and manually end Firefox, then it will work, but it will only let me open 1 page at a time. For example I have Firefox open now, but if I go and click on the icon to open it in a new browser, it will not open, I either have to close this, or use IE-I HATE IE lol.
    I cannot use the ChaCha add on you have because it is not for the new version of Firefox, please help, I love Firefox, but not being able to open more than one window/page at a time does not cut it, nor does having to manually stop it from processing. I have tried re-installing it too.
    Thank you, Melinda

    I should add that I face the same problem with Safari and Google Chrome.
