How do I know firefox is working

I recently scanned my computer with McAfee Security and it said it was at risk, why Did Firefox not fix this at risk problem?

Until a problem is identified as something to do with Firefox itself, Mozilla is not likely to do anything. Your posting is too vague. Contact McAfee to find out what the message you see means, of course they would need to know what message you see, or check out their forums, possibly there are links in the message.

How do you normally do ti when you switch computers?
Does Windows not have a method of transferring everything from one computer to another?
You can use your backup copy of your computer to copy everything.
For the itunes portion, you can type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
Windows should have a way to copy all doc/pics/files/contacts/calendars/etc.

How do I get Firefox to work I have Internet Explorer 9

Internet Explorer is unable to bring up Firefox support. When I load, from an icon on my desktop, Firefox & Google pops up, but there is no Google e-mail > Really, there isn't anything else on the screen that I'm used to seeing, for example: my favorites, the Google bar is missing, recent contacts. I don't know how to use your Firefox > I am a writer and depend I on the computer to get the job done. > I would like to get rid of Internet Explorer all together - it constantly quits and then restarts - over and over.
I need all of the gadgets that are on Google to operate.

Paragraph Styles - how do i Know they are working on my site...So Business Catalyst (blog) can inherit them?

I have created my site in Muse and have adding a business catalyst blog module.
I have created my paragraph styles and added some code to the modulestylesheet.css.
Why is the blog not reading the typekit fonts?
How do I know muse is rendering the fonts properly?
Any thoughts would be appreciated,
Darren

Hi Darren,
I'm sorry you ran into trouble here. Currently, you can only use and preview the free and open-source Typekit fonts in Muse.
If you're comfortable with a little HTML/CSS, the Muse Insider wrote a post on how to insert the Typekit embed code from the Muse interface:
http://museinsider.com/how-to-add-typekit-fonts-to-your-muse-site.html
Or you can add the embed code to the Page Properties dialog within Muse, which will include it in the <head> of the page when you export your website.
However, we do see the value of being able to design in Muse with all the fonts in your Typekit library. This will require a deeper integration between Typekit & Muse. I'll give the team a nudge in this direction for you.
Also, I would be happy to take a look at a live url from the site. I'll be able to tell of the Typekit fonts are working and if not, suggest a solution. Let me know if you have any further questions and thanks for your patience.
Cheers,
Benjamin

How can I get Firefox to work?

I am unable to get Firefox to work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program and created a new profile to no avail. When I open Firefox and type in a website address or attempt to complete a search, nothing happens. When entering a website, it just disappears, Please help!

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

How do I get firefox to work after installing an update (Can I go back to an older version if possible)?

I recently updated from Firefox 3.6.3 to 3.6.8. I skipped previous updates because of similar problem I'm experiencing now however now it is worse. Immediately after installation, messages windows pop up. The FIRST window says: “Firefox has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.”
The SECOND window (with a red circle surround a white ‘X’) says: “firefox.exe – Unable to Locate Component. This application has failed to start because xul.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.”
The THIRD window is called the “Mozilla Crash Reporter. We’re Sorry. Firefox has a problem and crashed…” where it gives me the option of submitting a report and restarting (which I have done).
The problem happened during previous attempted updates which is why I tend to avoid Firefox updates until today. However, in the past all I would do is manually power off the computer and restart the computer. Firefox never completed the installation so I was able to use the older version of Firefox.
Now I cannot do that because Firefox is updated to 3.6.8 which refuses to open. How can this problem get fixed? I am not “tech savvy” but loyal to Firefox (and for now I have no access to all my bookmarks).
Thank you.

Hello Michael.
Hopefully this support article is what you need:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+will+not+start
In any case, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
Also, if you want to use an older version of Firefox, please use Firefox 3.5.11. Only versions 3.5.11 and 3.6.8 are supported, and both contain all the latest security fixes. Using any other version is unsafe and not recommended.

Video in..how do i know it's working

I have finally got around to trying the video in feature on my GeForce 4 4200ti vtd 8x. I have the latest nvidia wdm capture drivers installed properly, but every time I try to use winproducer to capture a composite video signal from my vcr I am given the message..."unable to start recording".
This version of win producer came bundled with the card, and, as a result of other software "bundle problems", I decided to try a full retail version of the same program.
Guess what......."unable to start recording".
My question is this........how can I check the card itself to see if the video in even works?
I have no problems in my device manager, and I usually know what I am doing(LOL).
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Mini SATA - How do I know it's working?

Hello all,
I received by brand new T430s about 48 hours ago. On the initial startup, I had a mini SATA detection error. Not a good first impression, but anyways, that issue was supposedly resolved after the customer support rep directed me to install some updates.
How can I tell if the disk is working correctly? I've been running the computer with the task manager open, and so far my "Disk 1" (SanDisk SSD U100 16GB) has shown zero activity, even when the C: drive and CPU are operating at near 100%. Also, the stats in the bottom right show 0 MB formatted, can that be right?
Thanks for your help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Open a COMMAND Prompt --- as an ADMINISTRATOR <===== --- and type in
eccmd -info
and hit the <ENTER> key.
If it gives a series of responses, ending with percentages for cache read & cache write, then everything is working correctly.

How do it get Firefox to work boot up faster? How do I get my bookmarks to stay alphabetized in my toolbar?

Lately my usually reliable Firefox has been taking longer and longer to boot up, how can it be made to boot up faster?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== A few months ago

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
See [[Basic Troubleshooting|#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox

"Unable to Connect" error continually shows up despite having reinstalled firefox and troubleshooting. How do I get firefox to work properly again? (windows 7)

I turned on my computer and before I could start firefox it said it was updating. When it said it had finished updating and there were no error messages indicating that the update had failed. When I opened firefox it pulled up the last tabs I had open before closing the program. None of the tabs functioned properly and gave me "unable to connect" errors even when I opened new tabs, no matter what the website was. Everything worked properly in internet explorer. I tried restarting my computer and firefox, troubleshooting, restoring firefox, uninstalling and then reinstalling firefox, checking my firewall and the problem persists. I've tried changing my proxy settings according the articles on the support page but nothing has worked. How should I fix this? Firefox is my favorite browser I would hate to give it up.

see: [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox|Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]
Also possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

How can you get firefox to work locally with the windows subst command?

I want to test my website locally using the windows subst command to emulate the root of my website. It works perfectly with IE8 (except IE8 displays the layout different to firefox) but will not work with Firefox. All of the images, styles sheets and anything with a root path does not work. If I use a relative path (../../ for example) to the objects they works fine.
How can I view web pages locally using a website root path?

Now I understand why Firefox does not load local pages and and IE does. I followed the link and tried all the various solutions. The noscript version did not work (but at least I have better security now) and the \\\\\ UNC path trick did nothing. Eventually I downloaded the IEtab plugin and that worked perfectly. All I wanted to do was to check webpages locally before submitting to my website and the IEtab plugin worked perfectly.
Thanks

How do I get Firefox to work with JoyToKey? It has recently stopped working.

I use a program called JoyToKey (http://www-en.jtksoft.net/) which allows me to use a gamepad (I use an Xbox 360 gamepad) to emulate mouse movements. I have a medical condition which makes it painful to use an actual mouse, so using a gamepad is the only way I can comfortably and quickly use an Internet browser. After Firefox recently updated to version 6.0.2, it no longer recognizes my gamepad joystick input. Whenever the Firefox window has focus, the cursor does not move when I move the joystick.
I believe this is some kind of security measure to ensure that all actions are coming from the physical mouse and not from a malicious third party, because Windows has the same feature when the User Account Control dialog is activated - only the actual mouse will work with it, my controller will not. If it is a security measure then it is an appreciated effort, but, sadly, in my case it is actually more harmful than helpful. Any workarounds for this will be greatly welcomed. Thanks for your time.

I can't help you with that software in particular but I suggest you to try Xpadder, I also have the microsoft xbox 360 gamepad and it works as far as I know

How can I get Firefox to work on my TCD Roku TV?

This is a brand new television set made by TCD, the operating system for this TV is a form of Linux, and it's interface is like a Roku TV screen (I.E. Roku 3). I am able to bring up setup for Firefox, but when I try to go through setup, the links are dead. The only link that works is one that shows my status, and I.P. address. I am curious if Firefox has went live yet on Roku TV? I can add/show a screenshot if you need more information.

It wont let me log in to my tumblr and my email/password is correct, but it use to work about a week ago. how to i get firefox to work with tumblr?

I just downloaded firefox about a week ago and the first day i used it i went on to tumblr, and i logged in just fine. But now a week later i'm trying to log into my tumblr and it says it's loading but then it goes straight back to the log in page. I contacted tumblr support and they said to check if i have cookies, and i do. i'm very dissappointed that firefox won't work with tumblr.

solution doesn't work for me. i think those firefox developers are either ignorant, incompetent or simply uninterested in solving this problem which has been around at least since 2010 - we're now in 2012.
i've been loyal to firefox for 10+ years but now i gonna switch to chrome, which i have been using in parallel for a while now and which has not given me any headaches. firefox usage worldwide has been in decline since 2011 and i think this trend reflects the disconnect between the developers and their user base since the chrome-like decision was taken to go down the fast upgrade lane. google can pull that off successfully, firefox can't - sadly.
