I cannot open Firefox. I see "firefox" at the top of the window but no other tools. There is an error message that won't go away. I click okay but it just keeps coming back. The message is nonsensical - gibberish.

I've run every diagnostic and "fix" at my disposal and the problem continues. When I click to open Firefox I get a message that is only partially on the screen - upper left hand corner - and when I click okay the entire message shows up. It's still in the upper left hand corner but just keeps reappearing every time I click okay. Error says:
[JavaScript Application]
Error on adding toolbar element:
NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED, Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nslPrefBranch.getCharPref]

I only have one video project that I ever published to iDisk. It didn't have any music or photo files attatched to it, just a few clips stitched together. I can play these clips right now in the Event Library (so I know the source files are on my computer), but strangely, under the Project Library, the project is not there. I'm almost certain that I didn't store the project on iDisk; I just completed the video and published it to iDisk (as a .mov file I think) for family to see. I've tried to figure out how to get iDisk to stop looking for this project to no avail.
I don't know if others have experienced this, but if I click on any project and on the menu bar select Share --> Remove From --> Media Browser... it lists iPod, iPhone, iPad, tv, Computer and MobileMe. Why would MobileMe be an option here? This is the case for any video project I select. Didn't iLife '11 and/or OSX 10.8 remove all mention of MobileMe? I wonder if this is part of the problem too.
Edit: I just removed every project I have from the Media Browser. Still no luck.

Why does Firefox now have a bar which pops up with "Allow" on it? No matter how many times I click on Allow, it just keeps coming back, stuffing some logins

I don't know enough to know why it's doing this, or what to do about it. That's why I asked the question!

There are a few different bars you could see that have an "Allow" button: page wants to redirect, pop-up window was blocked, page wants to install software... Can you be more specific about which message you're seeing?

HT4899 I keep getting the same email sent to my I cloud account, even though i delete them they just keep coming back

I keep getting the same email sent to my I cloud account, even though I delete them they just keep coming back. I now have 7 email that I that I can delete several times a day and they just keep coming back. Very frustrating !!

Go and log out of your MobileMe account and then try logging back in again with a dummy username and password. This can help clear it and then just log back in again with your normal username and password.
Note though that iWeb does not require a password or username to use it - this is MobileMe.
Also, start thinking about MobileMe alternatives before you are forced to in June.

Okay, folks, after a 3 1/2 hour phone call with a (very patient) telephone support person at Blackberry, here's what I learned.
You can check your USB drivers this way:
Plug in your phone into your USB drive. Assuming your Blackberry is "seen" by your computer...
Go into the Device Manager on your computer (control panel)
Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers item on the bottom of the list
Right-click on BlackBerry Smartphone and choose Properties
Click on the Driver tab
Click on the Driver Details button
You should see one driver. I saw two. The one the BlackBerry likes is the RimUsb one.
So here's what NOT to do: We tossed the entire driver that was the "extra". This effectively made using my mouse and keyboard impossible, as they are USB, and sent my poor husband into the basement to find a million-year-old keyboard (and then a mouse) with the old fashioned kind of connectors (PS2). Bleh. Don't do that.
Here's what I did that worked (not saything this will work for you -- this modifies the Registry so better do a system backup with that backup and restore if you're nervous about this sort of thing):
From the start menu, choose run, and type regedit to get into the Registry editor.
Follow this file path: Computer, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Control, Class
Click on: {36FCE60-C465-11CF-8056-4445535400000}
If there's an item on the right called "UpperFilters", delete it. (see pictures)
Hope this helps someone.

Hi, try this...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
Move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist

Reboot & set it up again.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

How do I get rid of the 'buump.me' home page? It just keeps coming back.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 OS and my firefox web browser is compromised with this 'buump.me' home page which I can't get rid of. I've been into the cache, deleted all my cookies, manually changed the home page and the backup home page in the preferences folder. Still keeps coming back. Where is this nasty bit of code lurking in my machine and how can I get rid of it?
Thanks for any help

Thanks ideato
I tried this and lost all my bookmarks and stuff! But found them in a backup file.
I've solved the problem by creating a new firefox profile and importing my settings and bookmarks from the old one (carefully, so as not to import the virus as well)
Now the old profile has the virus and the new profile is just fine.
I could just delete the old profile... but I'd love to find out exactly where this buump.me bug is lurking, so maybe I'll keep the old profile for a while and see if I can find half a day or night free for detective work.

HT5642 my ipod touch 5th gen is not recognized since I tried to update ios. It says it is in recovery mode but it just keeps looping back to recovery mode. I tried holging power button for 3 sec. then both home and power for 10 sec then home button for 20

My ipod touch 5th generation went into recovery mode when I tried to update ios. When I try to recover it just keeps looping back to recovery mode. I tried to hold the power button for 3 secs. then simultaneously hold the home button for 10 secs. then hold only power button for 20 secs. I tried this several times to no avail. This is my daughter's ipod. I am computer illiterate and I'm not sure what else to try.

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

I tried opening firefox this morning which it would not let me do, instead I received an error message that read: error-Platform version 10.0.1 is not compatible with minversion =10.0,maxversion =10.0" I am not sure what I can do. Thank you

I noticed that firefox updated last night before I shut down my computer, then when I turned it on this morning I received the error message I described above. It will not let me open firefox.

I solved the problem by reinstalling the updated version and it now works fine. Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.

How do you get rid of Acrobat Reader? It just keeps coming back.

So, I have Adober Reader 10.1.12 installed on my machine. I've tried three times now, even used the uninstaller app provided by Adobe and Adobe Updater just keeps downloading it again. It doesn't bother asking to do this... It doesn't even say it's doing anything until the deed is done. Then I have to restart just to uninstall Reader again which I might say is a little frustrating and of course 'Adobe Updater' doesn't exist in the Uninstall list as anything I recognize.
So since my options have been tucked away in some hidden and arcane menu or config file... I suppose I need a hand finding them.

Windows 7 64 with current service pack. And... That's what's weird. I don't find a folder even when searching but the updater keeps reporting that it's installed something. Hold on, I'll restart it again and see what it says.
Restarted: Still no Reader folder and it's not resetting my current default .pdf program. It's also still not in my uninstall list now... so maybe it's just Updater being crazy? Is there any way to uninstall that then? Thanks, by the way.

Ever since downloading and opening Firefox 4 beta, when I try to launch 3.6.8, I get an error message saying that Firefox is already running; it is not. I have removed 4.0 beta from the computer, but don't know where else to look for any bits and pieces.

I need to restart the computer in order to launch FF 3.6.8. Also, in Dreamweaver CS5, I have defined FF 3.6.8 as my default browser, but when I try to view a page in FF, I get the same message that FF is already running. Where else do I need to look to find hidden files that are causing this?

Did you uninstall the Firefox 4.0 beta version ?
If you did then did you remove the personal data or otherwise removed to Firefox profile folder ?
Make sure that you still have a (default) Firefox profile folder.

HT1349 my IPAD@ is asking for a password and yet doesn't accept any password I put into the space, it just keeps coming back imcorrect password and won't let me exit that window so I can't get into my IPAD at all what can I do

When I opened my IPAD2 today the keyboard was on the screen asking for my Hotmail password, however no matter which password I have entered it says it is incorrect and I have no way of clearing this window to use my IPAD. What can I do.

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.]

I have tried for two months to make a movie using video and stills. It is fine in the timeline but then when I burn a disc the stills stick and just keep coming back and covering everything else. I turned the jpegs into Tiffs, then compressed with LZW

I am a beginner but I have made good movies on other programs in the past. I must be doing one basic thing wrong.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

After new update we can not keep the "related links" off the screen. We uncheck it but it still keeps coming back.

Every time we start Firefox, the "related links" are on the screen. We uncheck the box and it goes away. But the next time we use it, the related links are back. I cannot see why we would have to reset this every time we use the program. It is not a serious thing but surely is aggravating.

You can also do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
