Found 0 results for how do I UNINSTALL Firefox 9.0.1? I Installed it last night and Firefox has crashed maybe 20 times since then. The previous version almost never crashed. Please help

Since installing Firefox 9.0.1 LAST night on my iMac, which is running OSX v. 10.5.8, Firefox is now crashing every few minutes. It usually happens as I go from one website to another -- when I click on a bookmarked website from my bookmarks, Firefox crashes just as the next website is coming up. I have NEVER had this problem with Firefox before. I need to uninstall and revert to the previous version of Firefox, but OSX doesn't have an easy "revert to previous configuration" routine. Or... please send out a fix for 9.0.1 (assuming others are having the same problem) right away.

Thank you mha007. Actually, Verdi had solved the problem about 10 days ago. It was another Plug-in, Showcase, that was incompatible with the newest Firefox, so he told me to disable it, and that worked instantly. The other day, though, Firefox again started constantly crashing. This time I looked and found -- as you suggest -- another outdated plugin, in this case Silverlight. Don't know why it took ten days to start causing a problem, but as soon as I disabled it, everything was back to normal. I have NEVER had such problems with any new versions of Firefox, and I've been using it for ages, so this was pretty disconcerting to see how problematic the new version was.

  • How do i get a password?  I changed my password last night and it doesn't work.  Or, it is asking for a password for something else and I do not know which one!

    Usually when someone mentions "passowrd" in a posting it will not be related to an Adobe product but to the machine that you are trying to implement some installation or update for.  If you explain more about what you are trying to do and describe what you encounter it might be easier to determine what you are dealing with... include a screenshot to help explain as well if you can.

  • Firefox auto-updated to 3.6.9 last night and now it crashes every time I open the browser, even in safe mode.

    Hi there,
    You could try performing a clean installation: [[Knowledge Base Article]] :
    Some Firefox issues can be resolved by downloading a new Firefox installer from Mozilla.com, then closing Firefox, deleting the Firefox application folder (program files) and reinstalling Firefox. If this does not help, or if you would rather completely remove Firefox and start over instead of completing all the troubleshooting steps, follow these steps:
    1. Download the latest official version of Firefox from Mozilla.com.
    * You should avoid unofficial download sites that bundle Firefox with other software such as the Google Toolbar.
    2. If you wish to retain your current profile, you should make a backup copy of it. See Backing up your information for instructions.
    3. Uninstall Firefox and make sure you remove the Firefox application (program) folder and your Firefox personal data (user data and settings) - see Uninstalling Firefox for instructions.
    4. Reinstall Firefox - see Installing Firefox for instructions.
    5. When Firefox is started for the first time, the Import Wizard will appear and a new profile will be created.
    6. Verify that the issue no longer appears.
    7. If you made a backup of your old profile and wish to restore your old information, see Recovering important data from an old profile. For troubleshooting purposes, only copy the files corresponding to your bookmarks and saved passwords.
    8. Reinstall your extensions and themes one by one to determine if any specific one is causing the issue.

  • I have just updated to Pages 5.1 and now the templares which I have saved do not displat the header and footer which they were saved with in the previous version.  How can I have the header and footer included when I open a template?

    I have just updated to Pages 5.1 and now the templares which I have saved do not displat the header and footer which they were saved with in the previous version.  How can I have the header and footer included when I open a template?

    That is becuase Pages 5.1 has numerous unnounced surprises for the unwary user.  Among the surprises:
    - it strips out images from headers and footers without warning
    - it strips out bookmarks without wanring (yes, all those bookamrks you laboriously put into a document: poof! Gone.)
    - it strips out alternating left/right margins, without warning.
    There are many more suprises, as you'll see from glancing through these discussions. They fall into two main categories: things that are present in version 4.3 but that are missing in 5.1, things like
    -mail merge
    -meaningful Applescript/Services support
    -non-contiguous text selection
    -ability to set defaul zoom
    -ability to see comments while editing
    -ability to print comments
    -ability to read RTF files
    -ability to drag in hyperlinked ted from a browser
    These about about 90 other features are gone.
    Then there are the bugs.  Hyperlinks do not reliably export to a PDF file any longer. There have been multiple problems with printing report. Some fonts place stray characters in the headers.  Many reports of the program crashing, courrupting files, etc.
    Fortunately for you, the previous version of Pages is still on your system.  Export any documents you may have created or edited with Pages 5.1 (another great surprise: files created with version 5.1 cannot be read by any previous version of Pages: not just 4.3 but even 5.01!).  Then trash 5.1 and use 4.3 until (unless?) it is stable and has a reasonably robust feature set.

    Is there anything else beside the number 2203?
    Try removing the current Reader using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, then install 11.0.07 from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • How do I add a bookmark directly to bookmark menu within 2 clicks like I used to be able to in the previous version of firefox?

    Whenever I use the new bookmark button in firefox it puts the bookmark in unsorted bookmarks and I want them all to go into the bookmark menu instead like it used to.

    Thank you, the addon works great after I figured out how to set it up. Just 1 click now to add bookmarks to the bookmark menu with it.

  • On start up firefox showa V9 page, several times i changed the settings but it wont changed please help me?

    cant change start page, please help me to change this

    Unfortunately, you need to remove an external program in order to regain control of your browsers. Here are some steps to clean up.
    First, check the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list has loaded, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    Then, in Firefox, open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Next, you can restore the default home page, new tab page, and search engine (Google) using this one-click solution: [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/].
    Finally, you can "mop up" remaining issues with the scanning/cleaning tools suggested in this support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    In some cases, malware will leave behind special settings files that override your normal Firefox preferences at each startup. Try this article for steps to root that out: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    Success?

  • HT1725 I downloaded an album from iTunes last night and some songs won't play through to the end. One stops after about 34 seconds and one stops after about 9 seconds every time. I am running the most up-to-date version of iTunes for Windows

    The album was Grateful Dead Sunshine Daydream Concert 8/27/72. Songs #11 and #12 start but don't finish on either my library or the ipod. There may be others too, but these two I noticed. The downloads were completed ok, the songs sync'ed ok and they appear to be the right length. I thought maybe I need to re-download them but how do you do that once they are purchased? Is there another issue? Thanks for your help

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracsk from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Since installing imesh last night, and since uninstalling it, my default New Tab is now the imesh search page. I can't seem to take it out or change it to a different New Tab default page. Any suggestions?

    I have been through all the User Defined settings on the about:config page. There is one there that looked promising, but I am prohibited from changing it in about:config.
    There is nothing I can find in Tools Options pertaining to what your new tab page setting is, or how to modify it.

    I have tried to install lion last night and it stopped by slow internet connection. I paid through App Store and i tried again today but APP Store show installed. How can I install again?

    If you cannot resume the download, try to start the Installation Application in your /Applications Folder. If that does not work, delete the Installation Application and try to reload it. If that still does not work, contact Apple would be my best tipp
