FIREFOX WON'T WORK WITHOUT XVID

i deleted xvid accidently and now firefox and chrome won't open at alll....

Firefox doesn't come preloaded on new Mac's.
So you must have gotten this machine used and the person set up Firefox with a proxy amongst other "tweaks" that your not aware of, possibly even remote access to your machine.
If this is a used machine you bought, ideally it would be best to backup any files you have to a external drive, c boot off the installer disk the other person should have given you and use Disk Utility > Erase > Zero and format the drive HFS+ Journaled. Quit and install OS X and start with a fresh machine.
If you don't have the disk, a $29 Snow Leopard install disk is avaialble from Apple (no iLife programs, sold seperatly) which you can do the same as above.
If you don't want to do this, then delete Firefox and it's Library > Application Support > Firefox folder and reinstall it fresh from Mozilla.
Just reinstalling Firefox alone doesn't work, the support files need to be trashed as well.

After a few minutes, the page down won't work without clicking the mouse pointer on the page I am reading to activate page down again. Is there a way to go back to page down working every time without having to click the page first?

After a few minutes, the page down won't work without clicking the mouse pointer on the page I am reading to activate page down again. Is there a way to go back to page down working every time without having to click the page first?

Today, two other users reported issues with the back-forward history list dropping down if they hovered the mouse pointer over the back or forward button -- without clicking -- and then moved the pointer downwards. One user was on a touchpad, I don't know about the other user. Are you experiencing anything like that?

Macbook won't work without charger

Hello, I have a late '08 macbook. Originally I had problems with the screen dimming and I took it to a licensed mac repair place and they fixed that. Then shortly afterward the mac wouldn't work unless it was plugged into the charger. At that point I bought a new battery, new charger and updated to 10.7.5. Now the laptop still won't work without the charger. I have tried the trick where you turn off the laptop unplug it and take out the battery hold down power for 5 seconds and then plug in the charger first then the battery. I realize there must be something wrong besides the charger or battery but I'm wondering if anyone has an idea and how much it might cost to fix.
This happened a year or so ago but this is the first time I will need to use it in a situation were I cannot be guaranteed an outlet.

Candy crush won't work without the internet but it did before

Candy crush won't work without the internet but it did before

Make sure you have the latest version of QuickTime (7.6.6) installed - if this is missing or out of date there may be no audio output from iTunes (including, but not limited to, playback through Bluetooth devices) or playback may be of poor quality.
Also check iTunes' Play Audio Using setting in Edit > Preferences > Playback (you will have to restart iTunes for any changes to take effect). In most cases selecting Direct Sound addresses playback issues when Windows Audio Session is active (though some users have reported the reverse),
If neither of these solves your problem try installing this alternate version: iTunes 12.1.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards). The "for older video cards" label is a little misleading, as this also fixes some playback issues, QuickTime and Outlook interoperability errors, and problems with other third-party applications.

For anyone else wondering how to fix this, all I did was turn my iPhone off and then turn it back on.

IMessage won't work without wifi

When I don't have wifi I can't use iMessage. Before I got the ios7 update I could no matter if I had wifi or not, now it won't work without it. Other people can't send me text message is they are still using iMessage. How do I fix it?

Hi Jlm,
Go to Settings>Messages and make sure that "Send as SMS" is turned on. Also, if you want to be able to send longer messages or photos when not on Wifi (i.e., not iMessaging), then also make sure that MMS Messaging is turned on.
Cheers,

Auto upgraded last night, Norton popped up with warning about using an exe file - Nortorn removed file now firefox won't work - what to do to restore firefox and keep bookmarks, etc. or is new exe safe to use?

After Firefox upgraded, I closed the upgrade window and started firefox. When I went to bookmarks and tried to open a program a Norton window opened warning that this was untested...only 10 users in the community and gave three options:
1. Block program
2. Remove file
3. Let it run.
Not really knowing what was going on, I picked option 2. The "removal" was still running 7 hours later so I shut the computer down manually. All other programs seem to be working fine (email, Internet Explorer, etc.)
When I now open firefox I have the option to start a new session or restore. I have not restored and a new session will stay open a few seconds before microsoft closes the program ( program has stopped working). I would like to restore firefox and get it working without loosing my bookmarks, etc.or have Norton try to block the program. Also, I think the exe file in question is a launcher.

What are the names of the files? That is your beginning. One
option is to isolate your computer from the web while you get
back control.

Firefox won't work unless I click a link twice, or it refuses to load a page

Ever since I upgraded to 3.6.13, Firefox will often not load a webpage unless I click the link a second time. The first time, I'll click it and...it might work, but most likely it won't work and I won't notice it hasn't worked until about minute has gone by and it's done nothing. I saw that I had clicked it, because the link is highlighted..it just refused to do anything. So I'll click it again, and then it'll go.
I've noticed this when I get a Page Not Found page. I go to click "Try Again", and I've seen that I clicked the button...but nothing happens, it doesn't even try to reload the page. I'll click it a second time, and then it'll go.
This is so frustrating!

I have the same problem on my website. It only happens in Firefox. IE, Chrome and Safari are working fine.
Very strange behaviour. Check this page: http://1stlook.nl/webdesign-eindhoven.html
You have to push the orange button twice. First time it only drops. Only if you click in the right corner it works???

After installing updates, Firefox won't work. I got the message /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -ProfileManager Error: Platform version '1.9.2.4' is not compatible with minVersion = 1.9.2.6 maxVersion /Applications/Firefox.app/Conten

I cannot access download.mozilla.org. I need to do a fresh install after something went wrong with my updates and now Firefox won't even open so I am using Safari. I don't know why I can't get download.mozilla.org: is it because I am in China and it's now been blocked or is there a problem with the website?

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.<br />
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.<br />
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

10.5 server features that won't work without xserve

We are opening up a branch office and want to use 10.5 as the server OS. My budget can't afford me an xserve at the moment but will have a G5 Mac Pro from the main office to use. Are there any features that won't work unless I have an xserve? I though I remembered reading something about this awhile back? Thanks for the help.

I can't think of anything else than Server Monitor doesn't work and there's no LOM.
Might be something else too.
LACP (aggregated interfaces) needs two or more ethernet interfaces.

My firefox won't work; It says "unable to connect" and I have tried all of the tips for troubleshooting and it still wont' work.

Firefox opens up with an "unable to connect" message; it also says it cannot establish a connection to the server with these three bullets: 1) The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
2) If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
3) If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
I have tried to do all of the tips that you have on your website for troubleshooting and nothing seems to work. I know it is not my Internet connection because my roommates can get on Firefox without a problem and my Internet Explorer opens just fine.

If your iPad is defective and is still under warranty, you can take it to an Apple Authorized Repair Center and get it fixed. If you are worried about a defective replacement, then a repair may be a better way to go. <Apple Authorized Repair Centers>
Personally, I would prefer getting a replacement. You read about many defects here in this forum, but they only represent a tiny percentage of all iPads sold.

Firefox will not work without WiFi on Metropcs 4g lte network

I can use Firefox on WiFi but if I am using the 4G network I just get a message that I must sign up for the MetroPCS Hotspot plan. That makes no sense. I'm not trying to tether with my phone. I can use the built in browser and Chrome but, Firefox is a complete fail without staying on WiFi at all times.

This likely depends on Firefox's user agent.
If you have installed the desktop by default extension you should uninstall that, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/desktop-by-default/
If you don't have that extension install then would you install the Phony extension and try the various user agents listed? We suspect that MetroPCS is lumping Firefox for Android with desktop Firefox. Setting the user agent to one of the Chrome values or iOS values should allow Firefox to use the MetroPCS network. Please let us know if that works around the issue.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/phony/
Unfortunately if MetroPCS is blocking all Firefox user agents this is something that MetroPCS will need to fix. We can try to contact them but feedback from their customers can be more effective.
