History, bookmarks and navigation have stopped working in firefox 3.6.8 for mac

Firefox 3.6.8; Mac OS 10.5.8
The history function doesn't record anything; all my bookmarks are gone; I can't make any new bookmarks either. I tried safe mode, nothing changed. My forward/back arrows go away some times too. I tried reinstalling firefox and repairing permissions. I found the bookmarks file but it is the default one - not mine. Even the default firefox bookmarks won't show up! What is the problem?

You need to use the command line switch -safe-mode in the Terminal to start Firefox 3.6 versions in Safe Mode.

The last Firefox version that runs on Mac OS X 10.4 is Firefox 3.6.28.
For an unofficial Firefox 17.0.5 ESR compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

Autoscrolling stopped working in Firefox 3.6.28 for Mac OS 10.4

I have two Mac G4 desktop computers and have always had autoscrolling Firefox. Now the feature is no longer working. I don't recall updating Firefox recently, but can't go beyond my current version, 3.6.28 because the machines are not Intel.
The autoscroll is very useful. I have tried checking the Preferences..Autoscrolling is checked. I have tried restarting. No luck. I cannot start in Safe Mode as there is no option for it.
If there is some fix for this, it's not apparent on the Firefox Help Website.
So any suggestion that would restore this feature will be very much appreciated. It doesn't seem to be a plug in, or and add on. My feeling is there may be some resetting procedure necessary...but I have no idea how to do that. Again, help to restore Autoscrolling very much appreciated. It worked for years...all I had to do was press the middle mouse button. It could go slow and faster. Now what happens when I press the middle button is that I get my dashboard apps. Hmm.
Thanks!

Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next.

Links in PDF's and Excel have stopped working

I'm using a fresh install of Firefox 14.0.1. Links in PDF's and Excel have stopped working (the reinstall was part of the problem solving). FF is my default browser.

Starting in Firefox 14, Firefox no longer creates registry settings for launching links using "DDE". This has been reported to create two different problems:
* "Firefox is already running" or "Firefox is not responding" error when following links in email messages in Thunderbird ([https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932461 Can't open links in Firefox by clicking URL in Thunderbird])
* New instance of Firefox launches if the existing instance is running in Sandboxie ([https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/933798 Firefox is running. I click on a link, say in an email, it tries to start another instance of the browswer instead of just opening a new tab as it did before.])
Not sure whether your "silent fail" scenario is related.
It is possible to configure Firefox 14 to use DDE by inserting some settings into the registry. I haven't researched this carefully myself, but there was some information about it on and external site linked in the Sandboxie thread.

Lift and Extract have stopped working in Premiere Pro CS6.0.1

Lift and extract have stopped working in a sequence in Premiere Pro 6.0.1. If a create a new sequence it works ok. It seems the sequence has got locked up it some way. Does anyone have any ideas.

Thanks this worked but I found how to make it fail. I created a sequence with 3 stereo tracks and a 5.1 master. I then added a 5.1 audio track and deleted the stereo tracks. From then on the lift and extract fails.
I couldn't find a way to submit a bug to adobe. Please can someone tell mehow to do this.

Filters, styles and effects have stopped working in Photoshop Elements11

Filters, styles and effects have stopped working in Photoshop Elements11, what do I do?

Operating system and version? Have you installed anything new lately in PSE or done any OS updates?

TS1702 Both Pages and Numbers have stopped working. seem fine.

Both Pages and Numbers have stopped working. All my other apps seem fine. I can open the initial screen for both apps with the gray background but nothing else functions. I regularly update and sync the iPad and the linked pc.

Before you take the drastic step of restoring your ipad as gire.prasad suggested, it may be that the apps have not fully downloaded to the iPad. First check that the icons on the springboard don't say either "Downloading" or "Installing". If they do, then tap them again to restart the download.
If that doesn't work, go into the Appstore app and find them in the purchased tab. There may be an indicator that allows you to restart the download process there.

Keyboard and trackpad have stopped working

Hi there
My girlfriend and I have 3 yr old MBP's and her keyboard and trackpad have stopped working. She can plug in an external USB mouse and it moves around, but she can't type her password into the log in. hence she's stuck.
We have tried powering down and up 3 times, even taken out the battery.
Can anyone suggest help?
Thanks Rob

She needs a new top case. On older systems, the keyboard, trackpad, and even power button are all controlled via a single cable. Odds are, if you wait long enough, the power button will stop working too.
I'd estimate the repair cost at probably around $250-$300, so she might just want to be looking for a new laptop. You can also hit ebay and craigslist to see what you can find, just be careful with the screws for the top case. You get the wrong screw in a couple of the holes, they will never come back out until you break something.

Bookmarks and recent pages stop working

I have a new iPad2 and have had problems on Safari with my bookmarks and recent pages not working. All of a sudden the icon stops responding and I have to reset my network coneections after which it works again. Could it be from a low wirenless signal that casues the program to lock up? Any one have the same problem and any solution?

You can't browse your history directly like you can in Firefox but you can search for items in your history in the search tab. More here: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+use+Firefox+Home

USB ports and sound have stopped working

As the subject reads, all 3 of my USB ports have stopped working and all sound. In the device manager I receive a (code 10) for realtek high definition audio. I have done everything I can think of at this point, I have even done a complete OS reinstall. Afterwards I have also updated with every possible driver file I can find from realtek and toshiba, I really don't know what else to do at this point, any thoughts? advice? anybody else with this problem?
Windows 7
Toshiba Satellite
L505D-S5983

Same here. I have an L505D that is doing the same exact thing. No sound device, all USB ports not working and the SD card reader not working either. Also when you close the lid and reopen it, the machine won't wake up. Have to restart to get it to come back. Haven't found ANYTHING in forums to help.
Sound devices, USB ports and SD card doesn't show up in the Device Manager.
Took the laptop to a local fixer-upper. Unhooked the charger, took battery out, put battery back in, then restarted the laptop without being hooked up to the charger and everything came back on. But only for a short while. After a couple of days, it does its thing all over again.
Are we looking at a mother board issue here? SURELY someone out there in cyber space has a solution.

My BBM and Internet and Emails have stopped working.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider (virgin) for formal support.
Good luck!

Issues with Win 7 & CS2. Illustrator and Photoshop have "Stopped Working"

Hi, New to this so I apologize in advance. Bought a new computer in December '09. 6gig quad processor and plenty of 500gigs of disc space. NOt a Memory Issue! Installed CS2 ( 'cause the computer took all of my money!) and all worked fine until 4 days ago. I mainly use illustrator and photoshop. When I tried to save a document... The programs simply "Stopped Working" I'm a rookie with the tech stuff so please speak slowly and simply.... I would appreciate any help as I'm losing money and work right now! Thanks

CS2 is totally unsupported under Win 7. And if you have 6 gigs of RAM I'll guess that it's a 64 bit system which simply adds to the complexity.
Sorry, but the best advice you'll get is to upgrade.
Bob

Why have the forward, back and refresh buttons stopped working in Firefox 4 Beta 10?

Upgraded from FF4 Beta 2 to Beta 10. They were working fine in Beta 2.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

The shortcut key sequence to open Panorama (View > Tab Groups) has changed to Shift + Ctrl + E.

Merge to HDR and Photomerge have stopped working. Process never starts!

I have a problem with Merge To HDR and also photomerge. The issue appears to have the same cause. Basically what happens is as follows:
1. Open Photoshop
2. Goto File->Automate->Merge To HDR Pro
3. Dialog box appears.
4. I select the files stored on HDD
5. Click OK
And then nothing happens... No screen appears, no progress bar, no dialog box of any kind. Photoshop continues to work fine as if I had just opened it.
The other issue is even more strange.
1. Open Photoshop
2. Open the files that I wish to merge (saved on the HDD)
2. Goto File->Automate->Merge To HDR Pro
3. Dialog box appears.
4. I select the 'Add open files' option
5. Dialog box appears telling me that the files must be saved before they can be merged.
The exact same issues occur with Photomerge as well.
I am using a 15" MacBook Pro (Early 2011) with 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD (100 GB free), 2GHz i7 processor. Currently running OSX Lion 10.7.2. My current Photoshop version is 12.0.4 and I am running it on 64 bit (although have tried in 32bit mode).
This is a link to a screencast I made which documents the issue (with a completely new user): http://youtu.be/6_jltW-f34Q
I have had this issue before but was never really resolved. I contacted adobe and was told to try various things like creating new users, deleting preferences and even uninstalling and reinstalling my entire CS5 package.
The problem resolved when I upgraded my Mac to OSX Lion, although I have no clue why. Now the issue has returned and is extremely frustrating.
Cheers, Jeremy
EDIT: Probaby should've said how do i fix this?

I am having the same problem> My HDR & Photomerge are broken!
Recently the functions for moving multiple images into HDR & Photomerge via Tools and Automate is not working. When I try I get dialog boxs that are incorrect and the software will not allow it.
I've update, removed added items from Photoshop, have plenty of memory devoted to Photoshop, spent hours working with Adobe tech, now waiting for an answer from them takes 72 hours.
Has anyone else experienced this and have you found a solution?
HELP ! PLEASE !
