Firefox won't launch--using Apple Snow Leop. Tried to download new FF but could not. Am working from Shanghai.

I used Firefox last night to check my bank account balance
Forgot to log off before going to bed.
In morning my Apple laptop was frozen, so I turned it off.
Then after restart Firefox would not launch.
I am using Safari to send this, but need to get back to Firefox.
I am a US citizen working at Tongji Univ. located in Shanghai.
thank you....paul j. tremont

Starman, I'm sorry to waste your time. I had been assured by my employer that our MSDN subscriptions were going to be renewed, but I just checked the subscription status and it shows that it expired July 1st. I had just used it right before the 1st, and I was thinking it didn't expire until the end of July. That would probably explain it, huh? It's weird though, that I'm not getting the grayed-out icons. Again, sorry to waste your time. Thanks. Joe

Could not open firefox and tried to update newer version but could not with error msg "can not create temp folder archive"

Tried to run firefox as usual but the the page could not connect the server. Thus, uninstalled the browser and tried to install a newer version. Could not run the program and error msg "can not create temp folder archive" popped up.

My Yahoo Mail is not Working on any of my Apple devices, It attempts to download new email but then stops. Any ideas?

My Yahoo Mail is not Working on any of my Apple devices, It attempts to download new email but then stops. Any ideas?

I, too, am having a problem with my Yahoo email account on my first generation IPad. I can't download my emails to my IPad from the server. The IPad looks like it's trying to download them but can't do it. I am able to send emails from my IPad with my Yahoo account.
This problem started yesterday, Aug., 25th, the day after I uploaded the last update from Apple. I am able to set up another email account through Sbcglobal that will download my emails to my IPad but it is not sync'ed with my desktop mail which creates a mess when I move or delete emails.
I've tried deleting my Yahoo account and then adding it back. Also I've reset my IPad and I've done a full restore.
I think it has something to do with the last update, which I believe was a security update, which may have reset the firewall. That's just a guess.
Has anyone figures out anything else?

When you plug it in to iTunes does it show up under devices? Try restoring it. That's the best thing you can do if you're out of warrenty

HT1338 I have updated my software and everything else I think I need to do. I am having a problem connecting to Facetime on my Mac Pro Book. I have tried using my Apple ID and I have tried creating a new ID but it doesn't work.

I just bought a New Apple Pro Book. Tried getting Facetime up and working with no luck. Won't accept APPLE ID and won't accept a new account. Tried to buy app thinking it was that but told me it was already installed on the mac. Do I have to fix a setting or something that I am not aware of.
My whole family used the same APPLE ID and I have this apple ID on my IPHONE for facetime. Do we need a new one if so why can't I create a new one???

You can use the same AppleID for App Store purchasing Apps, Books and Music. (So you can share between family members, no need to re-purchase)
But for other Apple services like FaceTime, Message, Game Center (next Mac OS release) etc You should use a different Apple ID.
To start, you need an e-mail address (Gmail from Google, Yahoo from Yahoo, or Hotmail from Microsoft: there are all free). Use the browser for example to search for gmail.
1. Create an e-mail account following the instruction given. (Take note of email address you created and password use, password should include numbers, letters and uppercase letter)
2. Test that new e-mail account by sending a test email to that account (GMail mails can be view using the browser)
3. use this link to create a new Apple ID: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ using the new e-mail address you created.
Not wanting to overload you. After you have all that come back here again and we go from there.

Used PCUI navigation to follow up a new opportunity, but it doesn't work.

Hello,
We faced a authorization problem with PCUI Navigation. We have configured a navigation for following up other opportunity.
If the user has the SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW authorization, the navigation can work. But we changed the user authorization, the navigation doesn't work.
If we used the user at GUI, the user can follow up a new opportunity successfully.
Symptom:
Open an opportunity and click 'Create opportunity'. The EP open a new window for following up a new opportunity. But the new window is blank(If the user has sap_all and sap_new, the new window can show the new opportunity which was created by navigation).
BSP authorization setting:
BSP_APPL Authorization for BSP Applications
Application CRMD_BUS2000111, CRMD_BUS2000111_F4

Assign the Roles to Object type will solve the issue...

I am trying to install "Awesome Screenshot" but could not be installed because Firefox (ver 4.0) cannot modify the needed file, and this addon is featured on the Firefox home page.

My OS is windows XP with sp2

This is Joel from the awesome screenshot dev team. Could you send us the path of your Firefox extension directory? We suspect the issue had to do with the character length of the local directory of an XP machine.
Thanks.

Safari and firefox won't launch and explorer opens but won't load correctly

Hi
Something weird is happening to our emac!
Got home yesterday after a few days away and all the apple aps have stopped working
Safari and itunes won't launch at all - they just bounce a couple of times in the dock - then nothing.
Firefox won't launch either - the only browser I can get to launch is explorer - and that won't load properly.
I've tried the software update - it says there's now software - but 'unexpectedly' quits if i try to download anything.
In desperation overnight I re-installed the software from the software restore discs - but this morning it's no better.
I saw a thread earlier that suggested that rogue fonts might be to blame - which could be something because the only page that loads in explorer displays strangely with the fonts all over the place.
Any advice that someone could give would be much appreciated
thanks x

HI,
*"In desperation overnight I re-installed the software from the software restore discs - but this morning it's no better."*
Better check the startup disk for errors.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space.
If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
What is Safe Mode

Installation of Comodo Free Firewall Crashed System, Now Firefox Won't Launch

I installed Firefox 4, then my ZoneAlarm Free Firewall and Free AVG 2011 Antivirus were rendered incompatible. As a result, I installed Comodo Firewall --- I did not uninstall Zone Alarm or AVG. Comodo instructed me to restart the laptop in order to finish the successful install. When I restarted the laptop, it crashed. I restarted in Safe Mode and did a system restore ---went back 6 days. Now Firefox won't launch.
What happened and how can I fix it?

Hi thanks for that. I've been through those pages already. I think maybe my lack of knowledge is hindering me somewhat. However the page you linked assumes two things: I can see the processes on Task Manager and I can start up Firefox. The latter is unusual. You see when it suggests changing or creating a profile, I have to use the profile manager which is part of Firefox - which I can't open.
I don't think a previous session is still running because I've restored and installed so many times.
While I appreciate the speedy response, if anyone has any ideas using words, I'd be extremely grateful. :0)

Is there a way to play video clips that use adobe flash and if not when are you going to resolve your problem with them ? I won't buy another apple product until you do and I Know I,m not the online.

Use the search feature and type in Flash and there are like thousands of posts on this.

Firefox won't launch entourage email from email link on website. I'm on Mac OS 10.6.8

since i upgraded to a more current version of Firefox, Firefox won't launch my Entourage email from an email link on websites. I'm on Mac OS 10.6.8

It amuses me that the email that was sent to confirm the posting of this question had a clickable link. Naturally that link did not work. Cutting and pasting it into FireFox allowed me to complete the posting process. Annoying.

Firefox won't stop using my hard drive. I've had to start using Chrome.

Firefox won't stop using my hard drive.
I've had to stop using it as it drives me nuts.

Thanks for that.
It's been behaving itself since I did the 'safe mode' thing.
I suspect it may have been Free Download Manager which is now disabled.
I'll see how it goes for the time being. Things are looking good.
Thanks for all your help, much appreciated! :-)

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
