Recently, whenever I try to open Firefox, I get a dialog box: Exc in ev handl: TypeError: brw is undefined (JavaScript Application). Firefox is definitely my default browser

Question
Recently, whenever I try to open Firefox, I get a dialog box: Exc in ev handl: TypeError: brw is undefined (JavaScript Application). Firefox is definitely my default browser.
After clicking OK Firefox opens.

Doesn't work out for me either, so I keep it disabled, because it slows down the searches, and it won't stream its additions onto the pages after the first page of search results. Streaming or page zipping allows me to scroll down to the next page of search results without selecting the page number.

I am getting an Exc in ev handl: TypeError: brw is undefined. This only happens in firefox. Chrome or IE is not affected.

When I open or request a page by clicking on a link I get the Exc in ev handl: TypeError: brw is undefined message every time. Until I click on the ok button the page will not open. I also now have to copy and paste page addresses almost every time I open a new firefox page. This is not happening with other browsers.

Disable "McAfee Site Advisor" extension which was just updated to 3.4.0, which probably took it out of the addons block list.
* "Ctrl+Shift+A" > find McAfee Site Advisor and use "Disable", and then restart Firefox.
* Do a Google Search no problem
* It seems that if you re-enable Site Advisor again, and restart Firefox you are okay. At least you know where to look if you get the error again or Google searches slow down.

Updated to 6.0 and it starts with this error: Exc in ev handl: TypeError: brw is undefined

Just updated to 6.0 and now when I open it it starts with a popup box that says:Exc in ev handl: TypeError: brw is undefined. If I close it it opens a new window with the same popup box. I've tried to re download but the same thing happens. Any ideas?

# Switch back to default theme
# If you are using '''McAfee Site Advisor''', disable it.
# If you are not using '''McAfee Site Advisor''', disable all the extensions and try enabling one by one.

Getting an error message when trying to export from the Lightroom 5.7.1

hi
i'm getting an error message when trying to export the images from the Lightroom, all the images are on the external drive
i'm using windows 7 with 4gb of ram core i5
"AN INTERNAL ERROR HAS OCCURRED WIN32 API ERROR2 ("THE SYSTEM CANNOT FIND THE FILE SPECIFIED.")WHEN CALLING SHELLEXECUTEXW FROM AGWORKSPACE.SHELLEXECUTE"

i found the answer my myself
post processing was blank that was causing it to happen

I continue to get an error message when I go to most websites, and videos on websites will not play.

I think it has something to do with the Adobe update I just installed. Internet Explorer works fine still, so I think it is a problem with Firefox. See the error message below:
Microsoft Visual C + + Runtime Library
Assertion Failed!
Program: ...
File: common\npn_gate.cpp
Line: 267
Expression: pPluginShim
see Visual C + + documentation on asserts
(Press Retry to debug application - JIT must be enabled)
Abort Retry Cancel

I uninstalled Real Player and problem is completely gone!

Hello Socestlavie,
It sounds like iTunes is not opening correctly and is quitting on launch. I would troubleshoot the iTunes launch issues with the following article to help resolve the issue:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
First attempt starting iTunes in Safe Mode to see if the issue persists, and proceed accordingly.
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
If it comes down to reinstalling iTunes, there is an article provided that will uninstall iTunes AND its associated softwares for a complete wipe, and reinstall, so I would try that one more time, if needed.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

What does this mean when I try to open a new window "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: brw is undefined

The above message pops up when I click on new window, once I click OK the message goes and a blank new window does appear. It has also just happened when I was in BBC language site and tried to open a link, the message appeared but once I clicked OK the message went and the link did open. It does not happen when I open a new tab. This has only just started to happen over the last few days.

This issue can be caused by the McAfee Site Advisor extension
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Aperture help not working - getting JavaScript error message

My Aperture 3 has been having a lot of strange issues lately, most, but not all of which have been cleared up by holding down command + option while starting up and going through all three of the choices there.
One problem that remains is the inability to open the Help files. I keep getting the following message:
“The Help Library requires JavaScript.
If JavaScript is not enabled, you will not
be able to view all the content.”
Help works in all other applications, like Pages and Final Cut Pro. I don’t get JavaScript error messages in any other applications.
I’ve already done an erase and restore from a Time Machine backup, and an archive and install. I reinstalled Aperture, although not by using the Terminal command suggested in the kbase article # HT3805.
If I go the Terminal command route, will I lose all my projects, albums, and editing? What about Mobile Me galleries?
I have a guest user on the computer, and when I log on to that user and open Aperture, the Help Library works fine. So, I know the problem is in my user account somewhere, but I don’t know how to address it. Any ideas?

Welcome to the forums.
The fact that you have access to java in another user suggests that it is a local setting or preference.
In the applications folder/utilities there is an application Java Preferences, try resetting this and seeing if it works.
If not, try deleting the java preferences file in your users folder
systemHD/Users/user/Library/Preferences/com.apple.java.JavaPreferences.plist
relaunch the app Java Preferences which creates a new preferences file for you, then try Aperture again.
Let us know how this goes.

I get an error message when I try to save my images in Photoshop CS6

I get an error message when I'm trying to save my images. It reads as follows:
"Could not save because file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions or another file is using it"
The file is not locked (I unlocked the image as a layer), I am the administrator, and it wasn't being used elsewhere.
This has happened with all the images I've worked on in the past 90 minutes. Has anyone got a solution? I've never gotten this message before

Check that you actually have write permissions on the drive you are trying to save to. They can an do get changed.

HT1386 I get an error message when I try to sync my iPod touch - "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation"

I recently installed a new hard drive on my PC, downloaded iTunes, updated the software on my iPod touch and now I get this error message when I try to sync: "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation." It never did this before, whether it's the upgrade in software or something in iTunes, but it's very frustrating, since I'd like to add more things to my iPod.

I get an error message when I sync my iPhone 5 with itunes on a Windows 7 laptop. When I go back to my music there are exclamation marks next to many songs. I have reinstalled iTunes

I get an error message when I sync my iPhone 5 with iTunes on my Windows 7 Samsung laptop. I recently backed up all of my data using Samsung Recovery Solution 5 to an external hard drive so that I could restore my laptop. I put all of my data back on the restored laptop and reinstalled iTunes. After the error message that says that certain items could not be found and the "sync" is finished I go back to my music in iTunes and there are exclamation marks next to many songs. I follow some instructions regarding the Edit - Preferences - Advanced settings and the exclamation marks go away until I try to sync my phone again. Then I get the same error message and the exclamation marks return. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and the same thing happens again. I am about to schedule an appointment with the Genius Bar but would like to avoid that if possible. Thank you in advance for any help.

Hello Courtney,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when syncing your music to your iPhone. It sounds like iTunes is not able to locate the original file for the song to transfer it to your device. I recommend reviewing the following articles to locate you music files on your computer:

You may want to make sure you're installing the right version of itunes. If you have a 64bit system, you will need to make sure to download and install the 64bit version of iTunes.
