Having a problem removing ALL of firefox after it was corrupted by another download

I downloaded a program that scrambled my Firefox browser. I couldn't remove all of that bad software --- it left a task bar that I can't get rid of. I can't find the right people to get help there. I tried to uninstall my Firefox in order to reinstall it, hopefully without the task bar. It seemed to uninstall properly until I downloaded Firefox, overwriting the old Firefox, but it wouldn't reinstall without the same problems that the old corrupted Firefox had. I'd appreciate any help I can get. The corrupted Firefox is not loading some web sites properly.

I managed to get around part of the problem by doing a system restore back to a point where the ill-behaved program was downloaded. However, I'm having a different problem now. While I am still getting a shortcut for Firefox on my desktop it isn't bringing the browser up. I tried putting the desktop icon in the trash and trying to take Firefox and download it anew and try to get it up and running. While I was able to do the download, setting Firefox as my default browser in the process, the program wouldn't launch from the install message or from the new shortcut. Do I uninstall firefox and then try it again? Any suggestions?

I have Iphoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424). I am having an identical problem. All my pictures are imported into Iphoto when I downloaded them from my camera. Until recently, I thought that the pictures were actually saved in the library. Since I need to crop my pictures for the web, and Iphoto doesn't do that, I purchased Photoshop Elements to do that. To my surprise, when I try to get a picture from Iphoto to Photoshop, it can't be done. That was when I realized, after wasting a lot of time, that the photos are not in the Iphoto library.
I started naming the pictures on Iphoto so I had a recognizable file name to open on Photoshop. Couldn't find it. I looked in the Backup folder and the Transfer software folder (I have a Nikon camera), and the names I entered in the Iphoto display, could not be found.
When I am trying to upload a photo to the web, I get the Finder folder showing with an active folder called "Photos" under "Media", which only displays Iphoto and PhotoBooth. This is a folder name that I cannot find in my HD anywhere when I look for it. If I edit a picture with Photoshop, I am not going to save it back to Iphoto (not sure whether it will work properly). How do I get my folder of edited photos to show when I want to upload a picture to the web?
Where (the name of the folder) do I find the pictures I see displayed on the Iphoto library, including any name changes, keywords added, and so on?

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

How Do I remove all File Info after completeing image?

After completing all work on a Photoshop Image - then saving as a jpeg - all the file info still remains (XMP). How do I delete it?

I appreciate your response and your effort to try to help me. This is all stuff I know nothing about, so please bear with me. I clicked on a picture I am ready to post on Behance – and chose “Save For Web”. There is no option to “Remove Metadata”.
There is a box entitled “Metadata:” – but choices are “Copyright” – “Copyright and Contact Info” - “All Except Camera Info” – “All”.
Is there any other way I could check to remove all the info I see when I open “File Info”?
And, what does all that stuff in the Metadata box mean? I would love to look it up for myself – but have no idea where to go to find info about it.
Please help and thank you.

I am having a problem moving files from an imac in one location to an imac inanother location. I have tried using Dropbox which is installed in both locations but when i drad a file ino yhe app it becomes an alias. When I get to the other location it says I can't open the file because the " original application that created it is not present". This is despite the fact that the app that created both files is installed in both computers. If I use the Public folder in the idisc, when I get to the other location the file isn't there. Am I forgetting to turn something on or off? Should I manually sync the Public folder and if so how? Thanks

Firefox removed all my bookmarks after joining domain

my system administrator joined my computer on domain and all my bookmarks were gone. How to get them back?
Thanks

If you are experiencing problems with Firefox, instead of trying to find the cause of the problem and fix it, sometimes it is easier to create a new profile and copy it over your data importantes.La Reset Firefox feature will do it for you automatically.

I seem to be having a problem with all mozilla products crashing i.e Thunderbird, Seamonkey,and Firefox what is the issue, and how do I fix it?

I have updated all products, uninstalled and reinstalled ,ran virus scans, changed the compatibility its running on (from windows 7 to XP), disabled all plugins, and I am still encountering the same issue of all my mozilla installs crashing repeatedly. No pattern with the crashes its doing it randomly but frequently.

I had to remove and reistall Firefox after it would not open. When I try to install Windows asks for a password for me to download? How do I get around this?

I downloaded Axis from Yahoo. The next day Firefox would not open at all. I removed and tried to reinstall. Now whenever I try to reinstall Firefox, windows asks me to enter a password before I can install. How do I get around this?

Yes, sometimes the problem can happen before the window is able to show up.
As for the administrator password I'll double check if that's normal or also a symptom, but helping you with the password is not our area of expertise, you'd need to get support from Microsoft. Do you know if your account is admin or limited? You can try putting your credentials in.

[SOLVED] [no] Problem [at all] with NTFS after switch to systemd

Hi.
I've recently switched to systemd (thanks for this great Wiki page!). All is right except automount of NFTS partions. In old config, I don't have any entry in fstab, but there is a rule for udev:
KERNEL!="sd[a-z][0-9]", GOTO="media_by_label_auto_mount_end"
# Import FS infos
IMPORT{program}="/sbin/blkid -o udev -p %N"
# Get a label if present, otherwise specify one
ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}!="", ENV{dir_name}="%E{ID_FS_LABEL}"
ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}=="", ENV{dir_name}="usbhd-%k"
# Global mount options
ACTION=="add", ENV{mount_options}="relatime"
# Filesystem-specific mount options
#ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="vfat|ntfs", ENV{mount_options}="$env{mount_options},utf8,gid=100,umask=002"
ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="vfat|ntfs", ENV{mount_options}="$env{mount_options},utf8,gid=100,uid=fran,umask=000"
# Mount the device
#ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/mkdir -p /media/%E{dir_name}", RUN+="/bin/mount -o $env{mount_options} /dev/%k /media/%E{dir_name}"
ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/mkdir -p /media/%E{dir_name}", RUN+="/bin/mount -t ntfs-3g -o $env{mount_options} /dev/%k /media/%E{dir_name}"
# Clean up after removal
ACTION=="remove", ENV{dir_name}!="", RUN+="/bin/umount -l /media/%E{dir_name}", RUN+="/bin/rmdir /media/%E{dir_name}"
# Exit
LABEL="media_by_label_auto_mount_end"
I think this rule should work with systemd. It seems to work, because:
[root@HermesT rules.d]# systemctl list-units | grep 'media'
media-Almacen.mount loaded active mounted /media/Almacen
media-COMPAQ.mount loaded active mounted /media/COMPAQ
media-SYSTEM.mount loaded active mounted /media/SYSTEM
But:
[root@HermesT media]# ls
ls: cannot access COMPAQ: Transport endpoint is not connected
ls: cannot access Almacen: Transport endpoint is not connected
ls: cannot access SYSTEM: Transport endpoint is not connected
Almacen COMPAQ MIO SYSTEM almacen hdusb usbhd-sda3 usbhd-sda4 usbhd-sdb1 usbhd-sdb2 usbhd-sdb5 usbhd-sdb6 usbhd-sdc1 usbhd-sdc2 usbhd-sdc5 usbhd-sdc6
¿some ideas?
Thanks.

Thanks aking9:
It seems there is no difference whether fstab entry (a very old one, comented a long time ago) is active or not. None of both below helps to solve it.
/dev/sda5 /media/Almacen ntfs-3g defaults,users,umask=002 0 0
#/dev/sda5 /media/Almacen ntfs-3g defaults,users,locale=es_ES.UTF-8,umask=002 0 0
Despite of great work done by Arch team, systemd is an "esoteric" world for me.
Where can I now configure such thing?
Added:
journalctl log for ntfs-3g.
First, fstab with locale (deprecated?). Second fstab with nls. Third, no fstab entry:

I am having awful problems with mouse and trackpad after installing Lion

I have tried 3 different brands of mice and it happens with each one. the mouse clicks and sticks spontaniously and wont let go and hitting esc or trying to click somewhere else doesn't have any effect - it wont let go. And it doesn't seem to matter which program. At forst i thought it was just pwer point but it still happens if I command/tab over to mail or finder. and then I get the stupid wheel of death. power point (or whatever program I'm in) locks up. and then I lose recent edits.
I have a Mac book pro. I have use and external keyboard and monitor when I'm at my office.
When the problem has happened I have tried using the trackpad - but it's like it's dead. No click effect. No help!
I AM REALLY TRYING TO NOT GET ANGRY - BUT I AM READY TO SCRAP LION!!!!!!!!!!!
HELP!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the tip re MagicPrefs! Great app!
Is anyone having trouble with Mac losing the connection to Magic Mouse after the Mac goes to sleep? I am running Mac Mini late 2009 with dual-core 2.0 GHz and 4 GB RAM. Never had any issues under Snow Leopard, only after the upgrade to Lion. Battery is OK (tried fresh ones with no luck).
Turning the mouse off then on does not help, but ocasionally I have been able to get the mouse back by simply using Command+Tab. It does not seem to matter which app is active.

How do I completely remove all of firefox and give it a clean install?

Every time I go to yahoo.com one of the plugins I have installed crashes firefox. I can't quite figure out which one it is, I deactivate them or run FF in safe mode and it still crashes. I've uninstalled FF and reinstalled with the newest version and all the plugins and bookmarks carry over so I can't get a clean install. I was able to install an older version of FF and it worked fine. So short of running old unsafe software or trolling through my registry and potentially messing more things up, I am at a loss.

Anything that is involved with LSP (i.e. links itself in the network connection) is suspicious.
