FlashPlayer Update Seems to Have Reset Firefox.

Windows Vista, up to date. Most recent Firefox update. Most recent Flashplayer update.
I followed the prompt to update Flashplayer as usual, which opened and ran via Internet Explorer (shared computer, IE is default browser). After downloading & installing FP update, it opened the FP "Step 3" page in Firefox, apparently crashing it in the process.
Normally, Firefox opens with 2 pinned tabs (one of which is Pandora) and whatever is left over from the most recent browsing session. This time it opened with one darkened/unloaded tab (the "FF crashed" page) and the Adobe FP Step 3 page in the 2nd tab of 2 tabs, which was loaded. No other tabs, pinned or otherwise. Subsequent opening of FF opens the FF start page and no other tabs. The normal setup is listed in History under "Restore Closed Windows" ("Restore Closed Tabs" has a separate list).
Opening the previous setup from "Restore Closed Windows" brings up the setup, though Pandora has become effectively non-responsive (cache, cookies, history, etc. has been cleared) due to a buggy script. However, no matter where I navigate, FF never restores the previous session (like it's supposed to), but instead defaults to the Start page.
I have not tried resetting FF, hoping for a better fix.
Thanks in advance.

Please try to reinstall Flash, it is possible to restore the session restore file in your profile folder to a previous version. But first I would recommend [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]

Have reset Firefox & completed all of steps in "Flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites", but video still won't work. Help!

I have reset Firefox, completed all the steps in "flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites". And the video still won't play in full screen. It will play, but frequently stops or sound continues and picture freezes. I have noticed that if I continually move my mouse, it plays fine. All these videos play fine in IE and Chrome.

Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. [[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] 
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Hotmail account keeps getting overridden by an espn page. I have reset Firefox and still have the same trouble. Any other suggestions? I use Mac OS X

I am unable to keep my hotmail account open. Several minutes after I have logged in, the hotmail inbox page diverts to an espn page. I have to completely shut down the entire page to get away from the espn site.
I have reset FireFox and I am still having the same issue.
This just started today. My hotmail account works perfectly in safari.

Illustrator crashing after 16.0.1update, 16.0.2 update seems to have fixed it

I am running win7 with latest updates, running Illustrator (64-bit) from CS6 Web and Design Premium Suite.
Illustrator crashed 6 times this week after installing the updates from the end of last week (update 16.0.1). The updates that were released today seem to have fixed it, although I cannot absolutely confirm this.
I have spent the past hour trying to break the software doing the same tasks that caused crashes earlier this week, and then far more extreme tasks then I would ever actually do or need to do, and have not been able to recreate the same crash problems.
I have been using Illustrator for nearly 15 years, it's been very rare that I've ever experienced an illustrator crash like what was happening after the 16.0.1 update. I didn't have time to troubleshoot the issue until today, fortunately the 16.0.2 update seems to have resolved the issue. If the issue returns I will follow up with another post - it's rare though that I find an article that says "I've had this problem, but it looks like you fixed it". Thank you Adobe for the fix.

Firefox maxing my cpu and runs VERY slow i have reset firefox and re installed it, diddnt work

firefox maxing my cpu and runs VERY slow i have reset firefox and re installed it, diddnt work i have googles searched about it and tryed so manny things to fix it but nothing works this is my last idea posting here

Did you do a clean reinstall and deleted the Firefox program folder?
*(32 bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
*(64 bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Update seems to have broken openbox theming.

I updated about 2 hours ago and it seems to have broken a lot of my window manager.
I use openbox as a standalone window manager and have had no issues so far.
I update every few days and today caused the resizing-freeze issue, so I downgraded the suggested packages which fixed that.
However I have another issue with theming.
Programs such as firefox, thunderbird, thunar etc... all have the correct theme. However I use some gnome programs such as rhythmbox and nautilus and neither of these are themeing correctly as well as terminator and all appear to have the default gnome theme.
I use obconf and lxappearence for themeing normally, however these seem to have no effect.
I've done a fair amount of searching and googling and am now very tired and am going to bed.
If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated. If I am being stupid in my sleep deprived state please feel free to point it out XD.

Hi all. I'm also running Openbox and have done the following so far;
1. Installed gnome-themes-standard. Created a new folder ~/.config/gtk-3.0/; Created the file in the folder "settings.ini" with the following code;
[Settings]
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = true
gtk-theme-name = Adwaita
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome
Thanks to the info on the thread here
2. Checked out the post here. Downloaded the tar of Adwaita from this.page and did the usual "makepkg -s" magic and rebooted.
What I'm now getting is nm-applet in tint2 with the dark theme of Adwaita which is great but doesn't really match my dark theme axiomd but it's better than before.
What I'm wondering is how to manage this in lxappearance, change font etc?? If I select the theme Adwaita it's a light theme? Having looked in the directory there is both gtk-2.0 (i think this is the light one?) and gtk-3.0.
I've also noticed that it is affecting rhythmbox; slow to load and the status icon setting in the plugins is missing, so you close the GUI and find the app quits rather than the previous behaviour where it would close but the notification icon would still run in tint2 enabling one click control access to the GUI again.
I appreciate this is obviously a new implementation and will take a bit of time to learn but any tips from those in the know would be great!? TIA.

HT4623 My ipod does not have a "software update". I have reset the ipod and now can't download anything to it.

I have reset my ipod and cleared all the info on it. Now I am unable to download any apps. It says I need to update the software but I don't seem to have that capability. What do I do?

Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

Latest ATV update seems to have worked...

I had been having a ton of problems with my downstairs ATV over the past month or so. It would continually drop out of itunes, and even restarting itunes wouldn't work. I tried a factory reset. Syncing would take up to 24 hours. Just really bad.
I did the check for updates and updated the software on the ATV with whatever changes were newest, and it seems to have worked. I've had itunes open for 24 hours and the Living Room ATV is still showing up on it. And I was able to stream some content somewhat efficiently. Still haven't tried to see how much improved the sync time is, but I'm hopeful.

OK, I tried running disk utility from the system disk as you suggested. It acted just the same way - froze about 1/3 of the way through. Gave the same error message, and the same scary message that if you stop running disk utility (which one must do since it will not run), then there is a risk of damaging the disk.
Thanks for the help. Any other suggestions?

I have reset Firefox, followed all the various instructions for ALL the faults and it is STILL not working properly !

Various problems :
Firefox crashing, missing toolbar, bookmarks disappeared (reset and now they won't work at all) , cannot set homepage again (despite following all instructions), shockwave flash constantly unresponsive (again, all instructions followed and no change), Firefox especially slow in facebook, sound volume keeps switching itself off.
I have gone through each problem with all the suggested "fixes" AND reset Firefox, but it is worse now than before !
Just about had enough.

10.6.2 combined update seems to have no effect

Hello all,
I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6.0) from Leopard (10.5.8) and everything looked pretty good. However, I've tried to install the "10.6.2 combined update" through Software Update two times now and it doesn't seem to have worked either time. I get no error message, but after my computer restarts the "About This Mac" window still shows a system version of 10.6. Can anyone suggest what might be going wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks!

Combo update is not available via Software Update.
yes, it is if you are upgrading directly from 10.6. that's exactly what the OP got via software update.

5.0.1 update seems to have destroyed personal content (calendar, contacts, phontos) also from iTunes backup

I updated 5.0.1 to my iPhone 4. Just before it I syncronized the phone with iTunes not to loose my content. However after uploading 5.0.1 I couldn't first connect the to iTunes and when I finally succeeded to get iTunes to recognize the iPhone the version to be syncronised seems to have lost all my personal content. How can I get my calendar, contacts, photos, apps etc. back?

Thanks, but this didn't help me. My phone is a 3GS--maybe that makes the difference. What ended up working was to hook back up to iTunes and right click on my phone's name, click restore backup, click restore at the next prompt, and then tell it no when it asks about activating the iCloud. Now all my data is restored and the phone is working perfectly.

Updater seemed to fail. Firefox will not load any longer. Tried uninstalling, but cannot successfully download Firefox

Have used Firefox for several years. Latest update came automatically. First I got message that updater failed. Now Firefox refuses to load. I uninstalled and tried to download again. Still failure.

Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder:

* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* 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.

[Solved] Recent update seems to have broke automount in XFCE

I seem to have managed to break my removable storage support. It had been working since installation several months ago. I have made no modifications to anything in /etc other than those that would be performed by package updates.
Tried copying /etc/skel/.xinitrc to ~/ and added exec dbus-launch ck-launch-session startxfce4.

Hi,
I automount four NFS mounts from my ubuntu server through /etc/fstab. This used to work perfectly. Until the latest filesystem update. The removable devices do not get mounted. They do not appear in Nautilus. But when I plug in a USB, they all get activated.
Anyway, I will try your solution.

Imbeded jpeg and jpg images don't display in email. It works when I use the Chrome browser. I'm running att.yahoo. mail. I have reset firefox, also reinstalled.

I tried recommendations that I understood in this forum to no avail. I tried resetting Firefox. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled. It still doesn't work. It used to work all the time. Now it works once in a great while. Instead of showing as an image in the email it shows as an attachment at the top of the email with the option of slideshow. If you click on the picture it sometimes will appear, more often than not it will not. It works every time when using the Chrome browser.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden "Menu Bar" temporarily.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
*Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
*If an image in the list is grayed and "Block Images from..." has a check-mark then remove this check-mark to unblock images from this domain.
Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config page should be 1.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.
See also:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Website_colors_are_wrong
There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

I have reset firefox but I cannot get the webpage to still load. Now what do I do?

I'm trying to open Zynga.com but the page just keeps repeating it self over and over. It tells me that I have been logged out but when I put the info. in it just goes back to the beginning & keeps reload the same page over and over. I have deleted Firefox and then reloaded the program and that didn't help either. I have tried deleting the cache and then also turn off the computer, and then back on,but the problem still exists. It is not the problem of zynga because I can get it to work on another browser. Please help. I would prefer to use Firefox over the other browser.

This can be caused by corrupted cookies or cookies that are blocked (check the permissions on the about:permissions page).
Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
