Have just installed FireFox and it only starts in 'Safe Mode' ???

I was having problems uploading photos to Photobox... 'They' suggested installing FireFox
I haven't yet put a short cut on the tool bar, so when I click 'start' Firefox is highlighted as a new perog, but it states that it will only start in '(Safe Mode)'

Those disk permissions results are harmless and are irrelevant here.
All external hardware is disconnected when you try this?
Do you have Xcode installed?

Why did firefox and thunderbird both start in safe mode?

Turned on my computer, ran firefox and thunderbird like I always do, and they both started in safe mode. They both showed a box before opening that said they are running in safe mode. Why would they do this?

My PC was lagging because I had just started it. I clicked on the icons and then went into a text editor before they finished loading and was pressing shift while doing some text editing lol. Thanks for solving the mystery, I never knew about shift clicking to start safe modes.

Firefox crashes on opening and will only start in safe mode

On starting, Firefox gives me 2 options: to reset Firefox or open in Safe mode. If I choose reset, it crashes.
I have restarted the computer, reinstalled Firefox and disables hardware acceleration. I have also checked that Windows update KB 2670838 does not exist on my system.

hello, could you provide your latest few submitted crash reports? please enter '''about:crashes''' into the location bar, copy the latest few report ids from there & paste them here into a forum reply. this will give us a better understanding what may be triggering those crashes.
i'd also recommend to run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

Have just installed Mavericks and restarted the MacBook Pro. That was 3 hours ago and after logging in, I got my wallpaper and dock, but none of my desktop icons, just the spinning coloured wheel. It's been like that for 2 hours. Is this normal? What should I do, please?
I tried holding the on/off switch down to make it shut down, but when I turned it back on again, the same thing happened and none of the keys etc makes any difference.
HELP!!!! Please.

No, what you're experiencing is not normal.
Try booting whilst holding down the Shift key - this will allow you to boot into Safe Mode, disabling third-party kernel extensions, etc. Your Mac will be slow to boot and will operate sluggishly. That's normal. If you can get in using Safe Mode then you have some start-up item that doesn't play well with Mavericks.
Call back,

I just installed Firefox and am stuck on the "Choose a profile" page because when I click "Create a profile" nothing happens.

I just installed Firefox and it is stuck on the "Choose a Profile" page and will not load...frozen. When I click on "Create a Profile", nothing happens. Anyone have any suggestions?

Try to delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new profiles.ini file and a new default profile.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file
* C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and Windows 7 and later versions are hidden folders.

I just installed Firefox and I can't seem to be able to add my AVG toolbar to it. I already had AVG Internet Security before I installed Firefox. How do I add the AVG toolbar?

I just installed Firefox and I have been trying to add the AVG toolbar to it but I just can't seem to be able to do that. I already had AVG Internet Security before installing Firefox today. Does anyone know how I can add the AVG toolbar to Firefox?

It seems no one here is familiar with this application.
Which IE settings need to be changed? While Firefox doesn't have the same approach to security (e.g., by "zone") there may be some parallels.
In case the problem is the built-in PDF viewer introduced in Firefox 19, try the steps in this article: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
Does that make any difference?

i have just installed ios6 and now some of the icons i had have gone from the front screen, how do i get them back ?

Widgets are located in the folder, users/"user name"/library/widgets/
Whilst holding down the option key in finder, and selecting the library under the "go" menu, you can access your library within Lion.
If you have a working Time Machine backup, you can restore those missing files back to the widgets folder. If you don't, and your widgets folder is empty, then they are indeed gone (unless they are still in the trash). You would then have to re-download them from where they came.
If everything is there, then just click the "+" symbol at the lower left corner of the dashboard screen to add them back to the window.

Hi P.Rose,
If you're unable to connect to the iTunes Store, try these steps:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Cheers,

HELP!! My player only starts in safe mode and won't do anything!

<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=3>I dropped my nomad zen xtra (which i have to say has happened before), but this time it locked up - i couldn't shut it down or do anything else. Now when I start it, it only starts in safe mode, but it won't do anything in safe mode. It tells me "hard disk problems". It won't allow me to reformat even. What do I do?

Sounds like the player is broken. You can either return it to Creative for a paid repair, or try and fix it yourself by replacing the hard dri've (assuming that's what's broken). There's a guide here on hard disk replacement, but it's not for the faint hearted

Mespinal130,
have you tried running your MacBook Pro’s Apple Hardware Test, to see if it can detect anything amiss?

i downloaded an adobe flash update and my computer after next logon got a blue screen. I could only start in safe mode and until uninstalling the flash player could i start in safe mode with networking. i cannot open any microsoft products now. I get a message saying adobe acrobat 10 is not designed to run on windows or uninstall and reinstall it ....but it will not let me uninstall it. What do i do? is this all an adobe issue or a windows problem?? thanks Tim

Hate to suggest this, but you need to ask in the Flash forum. This forum is for Acrobat.

Only starting in safe mode

Hi there
I have an imac 8.1 that will only start in safe mode.When it does start it runs very slowly and I can't see a mouse pointer, so navigating around is a bit of an issue.
I have reset the all the PRAM and the like, I have even swapped out the hard drive thinking that was the issue. So with a totally new install I am still getting the issue (so my mind is thinking some hardware isn't playing nicely). The problem initially happened after I had updated to Maverick, but it is still continuing on Snow Lepord and Mountain Lion when I have installed those as well. I can't get to install Maverick as it doesn't want to install while in safe mode.
I have got to the log files and managed to see a number of panic listed (as you can imagine getting them up on screen is an effort with no mouse). The main panic seems to be over:
Kernal Extensions in backtrace:
     com.apple.GeForce(8.1)[<<some GUID>>]@<<some memory reference>>
     dependancy: com.apple.NVDAResman(8.1.0)[<<some GUID>>]@<<some memory reference>>
     dependancy: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(2.3.7)[<<some GUID>>]@<<some memory reference>>
     dependancy: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.7.3)[<<some GUID>>]@<<some memory reference>>
     dependancy: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.3.7)[<<some GUID>>]@<<some memory reference>>
BSD process name corresponding to current thread: WindowServer
Mac OS version
12D78
Etc etc etc
last loaded kext at:<<number>> com.apple.driver.AppleHWSensor 1.9.5d0
So my thinking is it's the 8800GS graphics card at fault in some way. I have read a few horror stories, but I don't think I am having the same issue as it is powering up fine in safe mode at a high resolution (if a bit flickery).
Any ideas?
Cheers in advance
Garf

I have it working now.
I found the following
Issue: System stops on Kernel Panic during boot.
Solution:This is caused by the GeForce Kexts that are installed by default. The issue is resolved by removing the GeForce kexts at boot, and it can be done as followed:
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Ge*.kext
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/NV*kext
And it seems to be "Ok" has a bit of a shout when I first came back in

We have just installed Lion and now cannot connect to MyExpat

we have just installed OS X Lion, v10.7.2 and now cannot connect to MyExpatNetwork on my Macbook pro. Any suggestions?

yeah-find out where you're downloading stuff to, and stick with it. I'm using FireFox and tell it to save the driver and stuff on the desktop, and when I quit FireFox, there it is on the desktop. you'll also need your admin password. It should show up as a .dmg file, then double-click on it to open it. You should see "Brother.pkg" . start up brother.pkg (double click??) and folow the instructions that ought to appear to install the printer driver. If the .dmg file doesn't mount, use Disk Utility** to mount it and get it working. Then you should see the package. and then you can install it.
** you may have to click on the .dmg file and choose "Get Info" then Open with, then choose disk utility, and then open with then change all. then close it. Hopefully that ought to work. If you cannot remember your admin password, I can't help you right now. Looks like you'd need it, to let Brother install that printer driver.
well, enough for tonight
if this didn't help you, then ask me again tomorrow
