How can i get firefox from defaulting back to a version i dont want

firefox 25 freezes without moving the mouse continually. i keep downloading version 24. every time i turn off my computer, it reverts back to version 25 - even though i am not allowing it to update without my permission. can you either fix version 25 or tell me how to stop this from updating on its own

hey, just to keep you updated - there is now a fix available for firefox 25, which should address the particular problem of pages not loading unless the mouse is moved.
if you have downgraded to firefox 24 to work around the issue, please go to ''firefox > options > advanced > update'' and turn automatic updates back on. then go to ''firefox > help > about firefox'' which should trigger the update to firefox 25.0.1.
<br>in case you need to download the setup file for firefox 25.0.1 separately you can do so from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/#firefox

  • HT203167 lost my hard drive how can i get songs from ipod back to new computer

    I lost my hard drive and want to get my music back on my new computer. How can I get songs from my ipod to my computer? I am afraid to sync it and losing what is on my ipod. Any help would be appreciated.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • How can I get Firefox to default to Unicode rather that Western ?

    This is the same question as the unanswered, archived thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/989012?fpa=1
    Firefox 33.0 displays mojibake+English instead of Japanese+English. It shouldn't matter whether the web page is encoded in ShiftJIS, EUC, raw JIS (though that's rare), or UTF8; all of them should be easy to autodetect.
    I can go to the View menu, Character Encoding, and select Japanese, but this should not be necessary. I shouldn't have to teach it to ordinary users.
    View - Character Encoding - Auto-detect is off, but even if I set that to Japanese it doesn't help. Hypothetically even if it helped Japanese it wouldn't help Greek.
    If I understand correctly there used to be an option View - Character Encoding - Universal, but that option was removed? WTF???????????????????????????????
    I've read a few expert opinions that I should change the web server to ... I'm not sure what I should change it to, because looking at the page again it seems that it already says Unicode ... but anyway, I don't think one of Japan's largest transportation companies will let one of their smallest personal individual customers barge in and reprogram their web server.

    This part probably didn't help but shouldn't hurt too much:
    body{
    background-color:darkblue;
    font-family:Arial;
    font-size:12px;
    background: #ffffff;
    This part should help, shouldn't it?:
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=unicode">
    How can I set auto-detect to use information from the web page, and to turn on auto-detection for web sites that don't say?

    For the third time: THE PAGE SENDS A META TAG:
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=unicode">
    but FF is auto-defaulting to Western and mojibake.
    "If the page uses Unicode then this should always work."
    What does the word "this" refer to? The fallback (manual auto-detect setting) worked for this page because this page only contains Japanese and English, and Japanese character sets include the Italian characters that are used in writing English. But, for the third time again, shouldn't FF automatically auto-detect it, and even for manual auto-detecting why was the Universal option deleted?

  • How can I get a family member back after being removed from family share?

    How can I get a family member back after being removed from family share?

    See [[Replace your Sync information]] but read the cautions carefully.
    * also see [[firefox Sync is not working]]
    It is always a useful precaution to make manual bookmarks backups
    * see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
    The above article also explains about the autobookmark backups that firefox generates, but be sure to make manual backups as you work, it is very easy to overwrite the wrong set of backups.
    I am not entirely certain what firefox is doing in your case, perhaps the synced Netbook does not have the expected set of bookmarks on it.
    Presumably sync may be uninstalled or disabled like any other add-on

  • Why wont google toolbar work with fire fox 5????? also how can i get firefox 4 back so i can use the toolbar???

    Hello,my question is why wont google toolbar work with firefox 5?????
    Also how can i get firefox 4 back so i can use the toolbar???

    This page is an easier way to download Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-4.0&os=win&lang=en-US , as this links starts the download process asap.
    I needed to upgrade to Firefox 4.0+ for an add-on that I really needed. However, I can't use Firefox 5.0, as I randomly checked 3 add-on's I had: "Firefox PDF", "Delicious Bookmarks" and "After the Deadline", and none of them worked with Firefox 5.0. In fact, I will have to download alpha versions, etc., to get these add-ons to work with Firefox 4.0.

  • How can I get firefox to execute perl scripts from local files

    I have created perl scripts on my local host (file type ".pl").
    In MS Windows I have associated that type to a perl interpreter installed on my local host.
    IE allows me to create links to them and to execute them (after asking for permission).
    How can I get firefox to do the same? It doesn't seem to allow me to add application types, only to change those that are already defined. As a result, in firefox, they just show up as text, instead of being executed.

    First guess is that you did not use an .html extension on the file. The file may well be ''name.html.txt''

  • How can I get Time Machine to back up an external hard drive (iPhotos) that is attached to airport extreme base station. Note: Time machine is usb to macbook pro and external drive with iphotos is usb to airport extreme base station. Help please. Thanks!

    How can I get Time Machine to back up an external hard drive (iPhotos) that is attached to airport extreme base station. Note: Time machine is usb to macbook pro and external drive with iphotos is usb to airport extreme base station. Help please. Thanks!

    Once you have the drive connected to your Mac, click System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
    Click Time Machine
    Click Options
    Be default, the hard drive will be Excluded from backups. Click the drive to highlight it, then click the "-" (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the drive from Excluded items.
    The drive will be backed up on the next Time Machine pass
    Everything above assumes that the hard drive has been formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as Time Machine will only backup drives in that format.

  • How can I STOP Firefox from being a glutton with my virtual memory?

    How can I STOP Firefox from being a glutton with my virtual memory?

    Yes. But, I see from the THOUSANDS of responses here concerning Firefox memory issues that other people have had no more success than I have at trying to STOP Firefox's memory gluttony. The fact that Firefox runs fine (like the good old days) for a while after re-booting and registry cleaning shows that something is going on beyond the trivial/ineffective suggestions offered in the referenced links.
    Having to re-boot several times a day to get Firefox out of the molasses is such a pain, that it's no wonder people are going back to IE, or like me, reluctantly relying more and more on Google Chrome.

  • My daughter's iPad is backing up to my iCloud, which is how we set it up originally. Now she has her own iPhone with her own iCloud. How can I get her iPad to back up to her own iCloud?

    My daughter's iPad is backing up to my iCloud, which is how we set it up originally. Now she has her own iPhone with her own iCloud. How can I get her iPad to back up to her own iCloud?  Her iPad is taking up 3.4MB of my 5MB. I need my space back!

    I suppose ya.  If she deletes my account from her iPad it won't affect my account, right? 
    Yes, that's correct, it won't affect your account or your devices in any way.
    Use the delete account button in the iCloud settings.
    Then enter her iCloud details in the new screen that appears and log in. She should then be returned to the screen above but with her Apple ID at the top, enable the services she wishes to use and then tap the storage & backup option and ensure that iCloud backup is turned on.

  • How can I get my 25 pounds back. It's been stolen fom my itunes account to buy KingdomConquest stuff. I' ve been hacked via itunes - I had a prepaid card in there.

    How can I get my 25 pounds back. It's been stolen from my itunes account to buy KingdomConquest stuff. I' ve been hacked via itunes - I had a prepaid card in there.
    I work in it, am very careful, and this is the first time since 1985 when i starter using i.t. That i've been hacked. Thank you apple. It seems like a very common problem with apple.
    What's the email address i should use to get my money back and report it ? As usual the apple phone lines don' t answer, an they make life as difficult as possible for anyone to gt redress.

    It's most likely not you, no matter what they say. I have noticed a LOT of fraud with itunes, even with my own account. One time I caught them doing a database restore. I know this because my password automagically reverted back to an old one! I'm an IT guy who helped design DOD classified networks in the mid-pacific. I know security. The best protection for this is to NOT have a credit card listed in iTunes. Use iTunes cards ONLY. It's a pain, but until they step up, it's all you got.
