Following message when I start Firefox: Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/browser/content/browser/places/content-ui/controller.xhtml. have uninstalled & reinstalled many times to no avail.

HELP!

I found a possible solution...sort of. When I googled this problem most solutions said that it's the Ask.com toolbar that got snuck on people's systems from other installations that is causing the problem. They were told to uninstall it and to delete Asksearch.js in the components folder in their firefox directory. For those people that solved the problem. I didn't have Asksearch.js and I've installed Ask.com a long time ago.
So after disabling all my extensions and then enabling them one by one I discovered that the Leechblock extension was the one causing the problem for me. Hope this helps someone.

  • When opening iTunes I continue to get the same messages, 'The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing' and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows error 126)' I've uninstalled, reinstalled many times - nothing! help please.

    When opening iTunes on my new Windows 7 PC I continue to get the same messages, 'The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing' and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows error 126)' I've uninstalled and reinstalled many times to no avail, even tried it on a different user account and still nothing. I recently installed Panda Internet Security 2012 (about 12 days ago), initially iTunes worked fine as usual but within the last few days I've been  unable to open it with the same messages appearing. I've read through some of these pages and tried everything that's been advised, uninstalling and reinstalling while internet and laptop security is swithched off, downloading tools to completely remove anything related to iTunes, tried it in Safe Mode, nothing has worked. I've also noticed that in the start menu when I click on iTunes, it says '(empty)' where it should have the logo and ability to start the program, does this mean it doesn't download + install properly each time I've tried? Any help would be enormously appreciated.

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried the following user tip?

  • Firefox/Safari can't find the server at...

    The last couple of weeks for some strange reason I have received this message: "Firefox/Safari can't find the server at..." about half the times I try to connect with the internet. There doesn't seen to be a particular type of site that this affects. Many of them are among my bookmarks. Always when I try again immediately I still can't get in. But half an hour later sometimes I can access the site without problems. I could understand it if these were high volume sites accessed at peak times, but this is not the case. My settings haven't changed and I haven't downloaded (as far as I know) any file that could cause this. I had a virus checker and it didn't find anything. Could anyone give me an idea what's going on??
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I was having this problem after updating to firefox 4.0. Error loading page and/or some pages wouldn't load completely. After trying everything I could find in Support, various other forums and talking with Apple Support with no success, I called my ISP. They rebooted my modem from there end and Voila! Firefox and Safari are working normally again.

  • In the latest version of Firefox, I can't find the Home button

    In my latest version of Firefox, I can't find the Home button, even when I try to customize the toolbars.

    You can find the toolbar Home button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar.<br />
    If you do not see that button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.<br />
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    You can drag the Home button from its current position at the right to the position at the left of the location bar if you want that button in its old position.

    I can't download mountain lion, I get the following message "could not complete your purchase, can't verify the file, it may be damaged or unsigned" ? what do i have to do ?

    The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
    Power down.  Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore. 
    No trouble at all once I did this.
    Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
    Hope it helps.

  • How do I export my video in 500x500 resolution? I know there's a feature in Final Cut Express that allows me to make custom dimensions when I export but I can't find the same in FCPX

    How do I export my video in 500x500 resolution? I know there's a feature in Final Cut Express that allows me to make custom dimensions when I export but I can't find the same in FCPX.

    Tom is right, BUT! ...the newest version of Compressor (41.) allows you to do just THAT! ...to export custom sizes.
    It's easy. And... once you set it up, you can export DIRECTLY from FCPX, provided you've saved / added this scheme as a "destination" in the FCPX app.

  • Win XP-"your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible". I have uninstalled & reinstalled 3 times. No success. Help!

    Today, Firefox wouldn't open properly. I got a msg about opening in safe mode or another option. My XP system froze so I closed Firefox down through Task Manager. When I tried to reopen I got the ..profile can't be loaded message. I uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox and still received the ...profile can't be loaded message and I'm unable to open Firefox. I repeated the uninstall/reinstall 3 times, without success. Same message appears.
    I found my profile folder in my system but I don't know what to do with it. How do I tell Firefox where to look for the folder when I can't even open Firefox? Do I copy & move it somewhere else? Should I just delete it all together and do another uninstall/reinstall of Firefox?
    I would hate to have to use IE. I use a crappy old Dell Dimension with a Pentium 4 and, until today, I was running Firefox for 18 months. Please help. I know a bit about computers but I'm nowhere near being a techy person.

    Try to delete the profiles.ini file, so Firefox will try to make a new one.
    To do so:
    1. Click on Start > Run... (or press Win key + R)
    2. Type %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox
    3. Press OK.
    4. Delete the profiles.ini file or rename it to any other name.
    5. Try to boot Firefox again.
    '''Warning: if you delete profiles.ini file a new profile will be made. You will lose all your themes, extensions, preferences, bookmarks, history and navigation data.'''
    You can try also to perform a disk check to make sure files are not corrupted. To do so, open a command line and type chkdsk X: /F /R where X: is the letter of the drive where Firefox is installed. In the case you're asked to reboot, do it.
    In the case this doesn't work, please leave us feedack, and we'll find out another possible solution.

  • When I try to search from the address bar I get: jar:file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region/region.propertieswhatthehell What can I do to solve this problem?

    I don't know when this started but I can't seem to remedy it. I've updated several times but have not uninstall/reinstalled FF. I'd like to do that only if I have to because I'd like to keep my saved info if possible. I'm not computer illiterate but I'm not a tech either so I need fairly basic instructions if it's at all possible.

    This issue can be caused by the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Slow-Start Up and "can not find the server" dialog box

    hi there -
    2 year old Ibook G4. When I try to open either Safari or Netscape the "can not find the server" box pops up.. I have a solid connection wi-fi for the wireless signal is on full strength. I have cleared my cache. Also I am experiencing start-ups that are taking 2-3 minutes. The color wheel just keeps spinning.Also, I have done repair and I renewed the DHCD. Not sure what else to do?

    as a guess, spinning wheel could be caused by failing hard drive.
    often failing hard drives will pass all tests by the utilities.
    you may want to back up any important files just in case.
    if the iBook boots up from the OS install CD/DVD with no problems, issues could be caused by the corrupted files on the hard drive or failing drive.

  • HT4061 Hello. My iphone is dead and doesn´t start. Where can I find the serial number?

    My iphone doesn´t start so I can not find my serial number? I need to replace it. How do I do?

    All the numbers are either on the back of the phone or on the original box..
    Your Carrier will have the info..
    If you bought it from a Carrier return it to them.
    If you bought it direct from Apple Call Them.
    I presume it is a new iPhone and under warranty or Applecare+
    With a New iPhone you have 90days Free Help via Apple..

  • Firefox 3.6.12 won't open under WinXP. Have uninstalled/reinstalled several times. When I start the program (including safe mode) I see a Firefox process appear for about 3 seconds, then disappear. Run full scan with Norton with no malware discovered.

    I've used Firefox for years with no problems. I've not installed any new extensions or programs between the time it worked great and when the problem began.
    I click to start FF (shortcut, directly on program file, etc.) and I get an hourglass for a couple of seconds like it's starting, then nada. As mentioned, I see FF show up as a process in Task Manager for about 3 seconds, then disappear.
    Solutions I've tried include: Uninstall/reinstall on the same drive and a separate drive, registry cleanup/optimization w/Norton Utilities, full scan for malware/viruses with Norton, stopping some autostartup programs that were installed and in use while FF was running fine.
