Firefox won't up date automaticly, or manually, "the patch keeps failing". Has worked fine for yrs.! until 10 days . Happening with computer using XP home pro

Firefox has worked flawlessly for yrs until 10 days ago. Firefox tries to upgrade / update automatically but can't and my attempts to update manually also fail. each time the failure is because :
" The Update could not be installed (patch apply failed)"
What ever a patch is, I don't know.
This is happening on two of my computers. Both using XP with service pack 3.
Both use Comodo CIS...and have for over a year.

Hello,
Try installing a new copy of Firefox:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
Or if you need a different localized version:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
Does Comodo CIS itself block the installation? After downloading the latest version, try putting the executable for Firefox on a safe list if you can.

Firefox will not work on this computer despite the fact that it has worked fine for the last year...

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

You need to re install OSX. If you have the dmg file downloaded via torrentz this is how you can create a bootable external HD or Flash drive (8 GB+)

My photos won't "load" - it has worked fine for at least two years, but suddenly now when I plug in the chip, iPhoto opens up as usual, but the window just says "loading photos", and the little wheel keeps on spinning - can anyone help me?? I am new here

my photos won't "load" - it has worked fine for at least two years, but suddenly now when I plug in the chip, iPhoto opens up as usual, but the window just says "loading photos", and the little wheel keeps on spinning - can anyone help me?? I am new here. I need to get it working again because we're about to go on a trip!

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

The webpage (absa.co.za - internet banking) does not display completely, data is omitted on the left hand side. Works fine in IE.

Since it is a secure site, I cannot copy the page to the desktop for you to view.
There is a column of choices on the left hand of the screen that is not visible on this notebook (LG ES30) which is a week old. The page works fine on this machine in IE 9 and on my old Acer 7520, and has done so for years.
I think it is a question of resizing, but I cannot find any way to do this.
Thanks,
Derrick Benson

Firefox hangs on black screen when I try to start. has worked fine for months. droid 2 global android 2.2.3

have used firefox most of this year. update to lates ver about 2 days ago. worked ok until late yesterday when hung up on google search. now just get black screen and sometimes get system "! Sorry" msg that "activity Firefox is not responding."

Do you have your data saved or synced? You can clear data from settings-> applications and it should work as new.
(i guess you have killed the app by now and did not work)

Windows 7 tells me that my windows is not genuine and the problem is Firefox. I did a total install and lost every thing and it worked fine for a month and it did it again.

At windows start up it tells me that this copy of window is not genuine and as get into window a message pops up telling that fine the solution qlick here and this tells me is firefox and the steps I need to take. But nothing works even taking the cumputer to an earlier date through system recovery.

You need to have the original serial number from the first time. If you purchased it thru a school program/discount then you should check with the school to see if they still have some way of assisting you.

Firefox crashes about 5 seconds after start up. Has worked fine for months. No changes made to settings etc

*resolved*

If you are running Firefox 3.6.13, you really should update to Firefox 12, as the version you have is very insecure, unstable and out of date. I'm assuming since you marked as resolved you got your issue taken care of.

Updated 3.6.9 was stalling. uninstalled reinstalled 3.6.8. now on 3.6.10 only browse about 6 diff searches and will freeze. somewhere in background firefox.exe process is using most of memery. its worked great for yrs had to go back to IE using XP Pro

all said
oh, when i need java for some pages it doesn't show. but not all the time.

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

When I purchased my Mac six months ago, I transferred my Quicken data to Quicken Essentials which has worked well for me until yesterday. Now Quicken Essentials will not open the data file. What happened? How do I get back in?

When I purchased my Mac six months ago, I transferred my Quicken files to Quicken Essentials. That worked fine until yesterday. Now I'm getting messages that there is not application to open the files, or that it just plain can't open the file. What gives here? What happened? How can I get back in?

Launch the Quicken application and try to open the file from there, if you haven't already. If that fails, and a simple restart of the computer doesn't help, try reinstalling the application. If that doesn't cure the problem, I would suggest you take this up in the Quicken Community:
https://qlc.intuit.com/app/full_page
or with Quicken support:
https://quicken.custhelp.com/app/contact/plvl1/win
You'll be most likely to get further help with your issue there.

My Ipad has worked fine for a year and now it won't play music or videos

My Ipad has suddenly stopped playing music and videos??

Swipe your phone to unlock and enter your passcode.
You needed to enter a passcode before using the touch id.
If you touch id isn't working, then erase the old print and re do it.
I use two prints and have no issues using it.

Firefox won't start. Everytime I end the process/close the last window, it keeps getting stuck at about 2500k memory in the task manager. (continued)

Firefox won't start. Everytime I end the process/close the last window, it keeps getting stuck at about 2500k memory in the task manager. The only way I have to fix it is to change some kind of compability settings or try and access it in a new way, and every time it crashes/closed/computer blue screens that setting will no longer work.
That is a short term solution, but eventually I'll run out of ways to access firefox successfully. I've tried many solutions, and some worked, but only once. I have yet to find a permanent solution for this problem.

First please update your plugins to make sure you are up to date. Shockwave Flash player has a newer version 16. In order to better manage the memory that Firefox uses please see these troubleshooting steps: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-ram Firefox Uses too much RAM]
You also mentioned that Firefox crashes, we're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
#Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and then go back to your forum question and paste those IDs into the "Post a Reply" box.
''' Note:''' If a recent Report ID does not start with '''bp-''' click on it and select '''Submit'''.
(Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the IDs. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like.)

Thank you for your help!

Firefox won't open when I click on the icon. I've tried uninstalling so that I can reinstall, but it says I have to close firefox (which isn't open), so I'm stuck.

The problem: Firefox won't open when I click on the program.
Solutions tried: #1) I tried to uninstall the program so that I can download it again, but the screen shows the message "firefox must be clsoed.. to proceed with installation". However, firefox is not open.
#2) I tried to download firefox, thinking that possibly it would update and solve the problem. However, I get the same error message that "firefox must be clsoed.. to proceed with installation" Problem is that firefox is not open.
I've done a screen shot, so you can see that I do not have the firefox browser open.

Thanks for the reply. I tried repairing the permissions (as well as several other things like deleting the Finder preferences file), but no dice.
Given that the problem cropped up right after updating OS X on two separate machines, it's looking to me like it's just a bug that needs squashing at this point.

Firefox won't open a PDF link in the browser, screen just shows blank.

Firefox won't open a PDF link in the browser, when I click on the link the screen just goes to a blank blue screen.

If using a Mac, go to the Firefox Plugins and disable the Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in, Version 10.1.3. This is a recent plugin update, and as soon as it was installed I noticed that PDFs wouldn't download.

I don't know what other side-effects it can create, but it solved my problem.
