Hotmail help says to optimize Firefox to correct Attachment ID has bad format problem when there is not attachment - how do I optimized Firefox 3.6.12?

Several day ago my Hotmail acct seemed to be hacked as the following email
''I think this is a nice website,I like it very much.If you have time please browse it.Maybe you can find some products that are suitable for you.Their priciple is :100% original and brand new,100% satisfied! Their address http://dpzc.net/#512.com/img/26_qtr.jpg/
Email：[email protected]
Msn: [email protected]''
was sent to my entire address book, and now when I try to sent a hotmail I get an error message saying Attachment Id Has Bad Format, even though there is no attachment. (This problem does not happen in IE8)
I did Hotmail help and their response was ''''I advise you to optimize your browser. If you have a browser that’s not Internet Explorer, you can visit its Help section.''''
How do I optimize Firefox 3.6.12?
or what other suggestions do you have

Delete any traces of Silverlight from your HD, you will be able to send attachments normally thereafter.

  • Firefox gets problems when 2,7 GB of memory is used by Firefox

    Firefox gets problems when 2,7 GB of memory is used by Firefox. Or more. Like 2,8 GB.
    It started when I read jpost.com with tens of tabs open. I don't remember how many. But I know there was more than 40.
    On the tab I that I was reading, the page turned completely black. Pitch black with nothing else, not even the Firefox interface. It was actually a pitch black shape that looked like a web page in shape. The blackness quickly disappeared and the page was normally readable again. But then it happened again - the page turned black again.
    The same page turns black happened again later.
    One of my browsing sessions had Firefox slow down so much that you could see scrolling happening when I used scrolling.
    Still another time I had 60 tabs open and Firefox worked completely fine without freezes, slowdowns, or black shapes. I could close Firefox by just pressing the red X in the title bar.
    Yesterday, I had 50 tabs open and I experienced a slowdown when I looked at the Breaking News headlines. The headlines would show slower than usual. The Breaking News headlines at jpost.com show the headlines a few words at a time until the headline is completely shown. Then the headline disappears and the next starts showing a few words at a time. And speed in general was not what you normally have with a computer that has 8 GB of memory. And a Core i5 processor. I opened two more tabs from the Breaking News section I had opened. After I opened a new window, Firefox froze. I had to close Firefox from the Task Manager by pressing End process. I had used Firefox for 6 hours without ever closing any of the tabs I had opened.
    In all of these cases, more than 40 tabs were open. In all of these cases, the slow down or freeze meant I had to use Task Manager and then press End process on the Processes tab. In all cases except the two I describe in the next paragraph, I never close any tabs after opening them. No problems have ever happened until Firefox started using 2,7 GB of memory. Until that point, everything is normal with no freezes or slowdowns.
    At two times, I tried to reduce memory usage by closing tabs. However, in both cases this would make Firefox freeze. In one of these cases, Firefox would show something bizarre: there would be about 7 tabs, and one of the tabs would be partly shown. Also, Firefox would show the busy cursor. Firefox did not show how many tabs I actually had. The second time, I tried to close the tabs by clicking Close other tabs in the menu that you get when right-click a tab. The tabs would close fine, but I remember that I opened Gmail and then I did this: I clicked on the Promotions tab. Instead of seeing the tab with the Emails, Firefox showed a busy cursor and the title bar said not responding. Firefox froze.
    The reason might be Adblock Plus memory usage. In Adblock Plus home page, developer Wladimir Palant writes in his blog about how Adblock Plus uses a lot of memory: https://adblockplus.org/blog/on-the-adblock-plus-memory-consumption .

    One more bit of information: I have a Geforce 640 GT graphics card. My graphics card drivers are old- version 311.41. The newest version of the drivers is 340.52. Would a new graphics card driver solve the problem?

  • I am having trouble with iMessage being activated. It has worked up until yesterday and now won't activate and is saying no address in the send and receive section. My number is there but not ticked. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    iMessage and FaceTime went down yesterday for some people. Mine is still down. My iMessage is saying the same thing about being activated. Sounds like you are still down too. Ignore the status page that says everything is fine - it lies.

  • IPad says there's a photo library when there's not in settings/ usage

    iPad says there's photo library when there's not in settings / usage

    That directory, inside /Library, is now hidden by default in Lion.

    Hello congratulations for the work you have been developing. The apple support has helped me greatly improve my Mac and better understand some applications. Recently my iPhoto has given me problems and I do not realize what is happening. When I double click a photo it does not appear ... or rather the background is black and only the zoom window appears. How to solve this? I've done a restoration of the library, but the problem remains. Thanks and good job.

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • When clicking "Save image as" how can I get Firefox to auto add a (1) (2) etc at the end of the filename if an image with the same filename already exists?

    How can I get Firefox to automatically rename images when clicking "Save image as" on the menu, when an image with the same file name already exists in the folder??

    Hello,
    That is not a feature that is supported natively within Firefox but there are various add-ons which I think will do the job you need.
    The one I have used is [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-slide-show/?src=search Web Slide Show]. This is primarily an add-on for viewing a slideshow of images when they are presented as thumbnails on a web page. However once you are in the slideshow there is a download button which will download all the images in the slideshow. It will automatically rename the images if an image with the same name already exists in the folder.
    If you don't like that add-on then here are some others that may do the same job:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/image-download-%E2%85%B1/?src=search Image Download II]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/image-picker/ Image Picker]
    I hope that helps. Let me know if not.
    Also I notice that you are using Firefox v23. That is now an outdated version. To get the latest security updates I suggest updating to version 24. See the support article here: [[Update Firefox to the latest version]].

  • Why Are There Multiple Instances Of Firefox Preparing To Access Internet According To Firewall Log When I'm Not Launching Them And Nothing Appeared On My Screen

    I had closed Firefox after briefly running it and then tried to reopen it anew but got a message that said "Firefox is already running but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
    I logged off my computer, and later restarted. However, when I checked my Firewall log it showed that during the minute I had my computer on earlier there were about a dozen instances of "Firefox is preparing to access the internet" which were recorded just seconds apart.
    I don't have the problem now -- restarting apparently took care of the issue -- but I don't understand why there were so many instances of Firefox preparing to access the internet when I was not clicking on it all those times, the one time I did I got a message that it already was running, and there were no tabs on my screen to reflect all those supposed instances.
    Thanks for any insight that folks can offer.

    Were that Firefox processes or plugin-container processes?
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/What+is+plugin-container
    In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes", try to exclude the cookies in case you currently have selected this.
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
    Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
    Firefox will try to remove cookies created by plugins in case you clear the cookies and that can result in plugin-container processes getting created.

  • [SCCM 2012 R2] Windows Update Agent do not scan correctly thus SCCM has bad reports

    Hi All,
    My colleagues reported that after manual download and installation of update Office 2010 SP2 ... SCCM still do not report as Installed:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2687455
    KB2687455 update on SCCM is reported as:
    Update ID: 9c5e43a3-3ae9-434d-b105-a9d7902d5f9f
    Update Title: Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2687455) 32-Bit Edition
    Test Computer:
    After investigation I found out that Windows Update Agent (verbose logging) is reporting that this update is really not installed:  Agent Update {9C5E43A3-3AE9-434D-B105-A9D7902D5F9F} is deployed for scan, and is installable. It will be reported
    as installable.
    Update KB2687455 is shown in Programs and Features/Installed Updates as installed on this computer.
    Question:
    This update is MSP (not standard update) so it cannot be queried by win32_quickfixengineering WMI class. How to query all installed updates on system (registry, API, ...)?
    How WUA query ALL installed updates?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    You could check the version number. The version number of Office 2010 SP2 is greater than or equal to
    14.0.7015.1000.
    The script in the blog below could get List of installed Windows / office Updates.

  • I have aol as my start up when my computer starts up.How do I make firefox mine instead?

    When i bought the computer it had aol already installed.I want firefox as my main thing.When i turn on my computer I want it to go straight to firefox not aol.How do i do this.

    After migrating your whole user account from another computer you will be left with 2 user acounts on the target computer.
    The best way to keep just the new user account is to log into the account you want to keep, then go into system preferences > users&groups (Accounts if using snow leopard) then delete the other account.
    (Make sure you have a backup of any files you wish to keep on that user account if any)
    If you wanted to just merge particular files from one computer to another instead of creating two user accounts you would be better off using the good old drag and drop method instead of migration assistant.
