Hi, after updating to Firefox v 10.0 I can no longer open websites by entering the address in the addressbar. The website seems ok since it is working in explorer, what is wrong?

I enter the webaddress in the toolbar but Firefox does nothing, it just locks itself. It only opens websites when I choose one from favorites.

That issue can be caused by an extension (possibly AVG Safe Search) that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

  • Since updating to Firefox 4.0.1 I can no longer open and populate fields in eith Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Readers wher I used to be able to.

    In earlier version of Firefox I could open a PDF file from my Insurance provider with some of the fields automatically populated. Since upgrading to Firefox 4 I can no longer open PDF file from this site.
    I have upgraded to Adobe Acrobat X and also Adobe Reader X in an effort to resolve this issue with no luck.
    I have changed the settings under tools/options to use Adobe in Firefox as well as use Adobe as default with no difference.
    I seem to recall a note of some sort when upgrading Firefox to 4.0 about compatibility with Adobe but cannot recall the details.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.
    I use Windows 7 64 bit operating system.

    The URL below is to Adobe's Acrobat update page.
    There you'll find each of the incremental updates to Acrobat 10.
    They must be installed one at a time in sequence.

    Now, if after attempted updates fail then you'll need to speak with your IT Department.
    You need your install of Acrobat 10 updated to dot version 10.1.7.
    Be well...

  • After updating to Firefox 8.0.1, I can't see my clock while online and also don't have access to minimized tabs I need while working on research papers (unless I minimize/close Firefox first). Is there something I can do about this? Thanks!!

    I don't have many more details for you - my laptop is an HP Pavilion with Windows and it's about three years old.

  • HT1386 After updating to iOS 5.1.1 I can no longer sync to iTunes

    After updating to iOS 5.1.1 I can no longer sync to iTunes

    Any error messages or numbers given during the sync process? Does your phone come up in the device list?
    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data doing a reset.

  • I updated to Firefox 4.0.1 and can no longer use the thumb/finger spreading feature on the trackpad of my Mac Powerbook (Mac OSX 10.6.7) to enlarge text on websites. How do I restore this function?

    Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
    You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    browser.gesture.pinch.in -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReduce</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.out -> <b>cmd_fullZoomEnlarge</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> <b>false</b>
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

    iPhone 4 after updating to iOS 5.0.1 I can no longer send emails.  I get a message saying the recipients "email address" was rejected by the server.  Incoming still works fine.

    SMS is a carrier feature, what did your phone carrier say when you contacted them about your issue?
    Double check you have MMS turn on in message settings.

  • After updating to Firefox 3.6.13 saved passwords no longer work

    Prior to updating to 3.6.13 saved usernames and passwords worked as they should (those fields were automatically filled in). Now after installing 2.6.13 most saved login info will not fill in upon entering the web site. I can go to tools, options, security, saved passwords and all are still listed, yet do not work. I have deleted a couple thinking Firefox would then ask to save login data for that same site, but it doesn't. I tried reverting back to my previous version of 3.5.16 bur saved passwords will no longer work there either.
    It seems as if Firefox doesn't see the saved info.

    * Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    * To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

  • After updating old Touch to 3.1.3, can no longer hear on Bose Sounddock. How can I update to an earlier version?

    After updating old ipod touch to 3.1.3, can no longer hear it on old Bose Sounddock. How can I reverse-update to an older version? Or, is there something else I can do? I can hear the ipod on earbuds, but not on the sounddock.

    All the monitoring is done through your sound device, not Audition. When you updated your PC, the sound device playback settings would have been reset. One of them includes input socket monitoring, and it's this that you need to reinstate. Since we don't know what sound device you are using, that's as much as we can tell you, except that if it's an internal device, you'll need to open the volume control options and alter it there. This varies between OS versions though...

  • After updating my iphone 4 to ios5, i can no longer sync my phone??

    I updated my iPhone 4 yesterday but my bought ringtones were removed from my phone after the upgrade.  Attempting to sync my phone with my laptop to retireve them, i have found that I can no longer get my phone to sync? Any ideas or others having the same issues?

    same problem here. Am very frustrated hopefully apple fixes this soon becuase my phone almost feels useless now because i cannot customise it with my own things from my computer! gah!

  • Every single extension I have is broken. Uninstalling and re-installing doesn't work either. They say they'll be updated when Firefox is restarted, but I can't even open the preferences for each plug-in.

    Not a solitary extension is working. Many of them say that they'll be updated when Firefox is restarted; some of them ostensibly appear to be working, but clicking on the 'preferences' button provokes no response. I have Firefox 3.6.13. I've tried uninstalling and then re-installing one of the extensions (Stumbleupon) but to no avail. Do I need to be re-installing Firefox here?

    This can happen if one of the files that stores details on installed extensions is corrupt. To fix that see the section on corrupt extension files in the [[Unable to install add-ons]] article.

  • After updateing iTunes on my Sony laptop I can no longer burn songs to a cd

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the newest update for iTunes many times and I always get the same message; the registry driver for importing and burning cd's and DVD's are missing. I had no problems before doing an update.  I have ran the cd trouble shooter on tunes to diagnose the problem as instructed in the Help menu and when the button turns red it says it can't recognize the audio cd, but it will still import the cd.

    Hello Dan-No,
    It sounds like you are getting an error message stating that the registry settings for burning are missing. I recommend the troubleshooting from the following article named:

  • After updating to 6.1.3, my iPhone can no longer connect to iTunes, or my computer at all.

    Pretty much what the title says.
    I updated my iPhone to 6.1.3, and ever since, it has failed to be recognised at all by my PC
    Before I updated, it connected fine. After the update, the only thing that would show up is the charging screen, otherwise, no connection to iTunes, and not even recognised under My Computer or even Device Manager.
    I replaced my cable, tried different USB ports, I tried re-installing iTunes, even went back a version. I then factory reset my iPhone. Still no luck, so I lost all my music/photos for nothing (my fault obviously for resetting, but not the point)
    So ah, yeah. The latest "update" has actually ended up making things even worse
    The big Apple has done it again!

    I've had the same problem. Updated last night and haven't been able to use the phone at all since then. Black screen, grey screen, light blue screen, pixelated screen, white screen with darkened corners, flickering screen, white stripe across screen, no connectivity to anyone's computer incl bluetooth. Recurrent dead battery. Occasional apple on screen.
    Dead.
    Have you had any joy with yours? Or should I just bin it?

  • I updated to Firefox 4 and now I can no longer use my track pad's capability to pinch and open /close/ and resize . Why not? It still works just fine in all other browsers.s.

    Nothing more to add

    Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
    My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
    I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
    Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

  • After update to 5.0.2, Apple TV can no longer see 802.11n WiFi networks

    Dear all,
    since the last update to Software 5.0.2, my Apple TV has been unable to see 802.11n/5Ghz WiFi networks, which worked fine prior to the update. Has anybody experienced this problem and found a solution to it? The device connects fine to other types of networks, but my main network is not even listed in the list of available networks, and can't be found by searching by name....
    Thanks in advance,

    PS I'm also having problems with Home Sharing dropping the connection, which I never had with the previous software versions
