How to I keep Firefox installed, after shutting down or restarting computer?

After a successful install, I use Firefox, all is great. Problem is, when I shut down, or restart computer, all shortcuts, start menu Firefox, etc. no longer work, and icons are all windows icons, and all the shortcuts, etc. say files had been moved. I uninstall, restart coomputer,install again, successfully, and, same thing again. I am having to uninstall/install everytime I am restarting computer. Is there something I am suppose to check or uncheck after installing? Like compatibility mode, or something? My os is vista home premium 64bit. This happened the first time and everytime.

Click the Apple icon, then choose Force Quit. In the list of programs that comes up, Mail probably has Not Responding next to it. Choose it and force quit it.

  • My iMac screen keeps showing pixels of previously opened documents and Safari tabs and hour or two after closing them. The shadow of those opened documents are still there hours later after shutting down and restarting my computer. What is happening

    My iMac screen keeps showing pixels of previously opened documents and Safari tabs and hour or two after closing them.
    Even when I swipe to the dashboard the outlines are still there when I know they should not be.
    The shadow of those opened documents are still there hours later after shutting down and restarting my computer.
    What is happening and what shall I do? Thanks in advance.

    Not much to go on in your product info, but maybe this will help: iMac (27-inch): AMD Radeon 6970M Video Card Replacement Program. If not, then it's time to visit an Apple repair station.

  • Losing Desktop Items/Documents after shutting down and restarting

    Twice, over the last couple of months after shutting down and restarting my macbook, everything on my desktop gets deleted, and it seems all the settings go back to their original form?
    Anyone have this problem?
    Message was edited by: jram1111

    Hi, I had this problem and it was due to setting file vault in the security settings. I removed having that set and then I had to go into system settings, Account and under Login Items, add back items such as mail and things that required passwords that were not coming up on my dock after each time I shut down.
    I hope this is helpful! Better late than never - if you have fixed yours, maybe this will help someone else.

    Apple does not support 3rd party software.  Again, post in Adobe's forums.  Plenty of Mac users there who uses their products. 

  • How to create a notification just after shuts down?

    I need to turn of my audio monitors before shutdown, but sometimes I forget.
    I would like to see a notification (created by me) every time I shutdown

    There are a number of ways of scheduling a task at shutdown, but the easiest is probably even easier - just write a stay-open application script that does nothing until it's quit at which point it posts a reminder dialog.
    on idle
              return 10000
    end idle
    on quit
              display dialog "Don't forgt to turn off all your other gear" buttons {"Got it!"} default button 1 giving up after 60
              continue quit
    end quit
    the idle handler is just a dummy to keep the process alive, the real work is in the quit handler which posts a dialog and then continues the shutdown process. the 'giving up' parameter makes sure the app doesn't stall the shutdown process - it's better to shut down the Mac, even if you forget to shut off the other stuff, than it is to leave everything running.
    Save this script as an application and set it to launch at login.

    Sounds like you got incompatible or bad RAM.
    Return it and buy from OWC or Crucial

  • DIMM works only after shut-down and restart

    I put a 1GB DIMM (DDR SDRAM PC2100U-25330) in my iBook G4 1.42 GHz about a year ago. It works, according to the Activity Monitor and its often in use when I'm working in Photoshop. But when I install new software and restart, the computer doesn't detect it. I have to shut down and start up again to make it work. I've tried reinstalling the DIMM but no dice. Anyone with a similar experience? Thoughts on how to fix it?

  • I have a 6 week old 4s running 5.1.1 Just started recieving "failed sim" message the other day. This leaves me with no cell service . Service comes back after shutting down and restarting. at least until message reaapears. Has happened three times in two

    I have a 6 week old 4s running 5.1.1. Started recieving "failed sim" message yesterday. this leaves me with no cell service. Shutting down and turning back own seems to alleviate problem temporarily. It has happened three times now. Help.

    Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
    If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
    BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
    Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
    Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call?  You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
    Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

  • My system keep prompting me to shut down and restart very often. Please what do I do to checkmate this.

    Hello everyone out there, could you please help, my Mac keep prompting me to hold the power burton, until the system shuts down. Then I would restart, pressing the same burton. It is becoming too frequent and embarrasing now. Does anyone have a solution to this problem, Thanks.

    If you're able to boot, launch the Console application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search, and select the most recent panic log under "System Diagnostic Reports." Post the contents -- the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID” and "Kernel UUID," two long strings of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report. Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.

  • Using iPad mail program I have a draft of an email. I attempted to "cancel" and "delete draft" but it is still on my screen even after shutting down and restarting. How do I exit so that I can use other mail functions?

    Using iPad mail program I have a draft of an email. I have attempted to "cancel" this and "delete draft" but the email stays on my screen. How can I exit this so that I can use other email functions?

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Photoshop cs6 installs successfully but after I shut down and restart computer it disappears.

    I have tried to install the trial version of adobe photoshop cs6. When I do successfully install it and then shut off my computer and then restart the computer windows tells me that the application no longer works and that it has been moved somewhere. The program logo doesn't show up next to it instead a different logo shows up next to the program name. In the previous threads I was advised to rename the OOBE file to OBEE.old but i tried tha already and it doesn't work..

    Which OS?

  • When I turned my Macbook on and signed in, it has been shutting down automatically and restarting itself immediately after opening the desktop. The error message said, I'd shut down my computer unexpectedly. How can I get it to stop shutting down on me?

    Since downloading OS X Mavericks, my computer has been shutting down midway of starting up. Please help! The problem began after downloading the software free update. Now when I start my computer, it will starts up normal but when the desktop appears, there will be an error message that I shut down my computer because of an error and if I would like to open the applications that were open before the sudden shut down I should press continue. Then when I select continue, it will open up another communication window that my computer is restarting because of an error. Then the screen will revert to shutting down and restarting again. This has been going on now all morning. Can someone hlep me on how to resolve this issue?

    Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?
