Did bug fix for add-ons after downloading new version. FB games do not work & add-ons still gone. I want the old version back. How can I do this?

Downloaded version 7 today. All add-ons are gone, not disabled, but gone. The bug fix offered in this instance tells me to go look for updates. I have, and I'm totally up to date, so now I don't know what to do. The add-ons are still gone, and my games in FB are also malfunctioning. I click on a button in the game and nothing happens. I can't even play them like this. I have playing all morning, and this only happened AFTER I updated to the latest Firefox browser 7. I want the old version back, but cannot figure out a way to do this. I am mad right now and want the option to go back to the old version. If I can't get it, I guess I'll go back to IE. Thanks....

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

I am unable to update any add-ons at all. Every time I try and install an add-on or even the new "show hidden add-ons" add-on, I get a server error. How do I fix this?

You may have triggered some intermittent database issues but it should be running smooth by now. Let us know if you still see server errors.
Also, if your addons appear to go missing after updating there is a workaround http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/09/28/issue-discovered-with-firefox-add-on-upgrades/ And there is a 7.0.1 fix on its way.

Settings>General>Passcode Lock...enter your passcode, then: Turn Passcode Off.

HT4796 I cannot open any files transferred from the PC to my MAC as I am "not authorized". How can I correct this?

I cannot open any files transferred from my Windows PC to my Mac as I am "not authorized". How can I correct this?

Select the folderr containing all of those files, CMD+I, click on the lock, enter your admin password, add yourself with read & write, and click on the action button and select apply to enclosed items. That should do the trick. BTW, I don't have a PC, so i've not transfered any such files to my machine.

Even though it used to, the installed DownloadHelper add-on no longer shows in the toolbar at the top. How can I fix this?

This add-on shows up in the list of Add-Ons, but does not show up in the toolbar, nor does it activate for potential downloads as it did before.

Thanks very much, Cor-el. That worked perfectly!

TS1717 I tried to open iTunes but a box pops up. In it is written "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." I have done so a number of times but nothing is working. How can I fix this problem?

iTunes will not open because a dialog box pops up with "Itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.". I have done so a few times to no avail. Any solutions for this problem?

No you will not lose your content reinstalling iTunes.
Do this:
1: Download and run the Registry Cleaner of the free Ccleaner.
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard
2: Next follow this Apple document to un-install iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
3: Just for good measure, run Ccleaner again
4: Reinstall iTunes.
5: Come back here and click my "Correct answer" button.

Foxfire adds my password to my email site but it is incorrect. How can I change this?

When I first set up my email account, a questions came on the screen asking if I would like Foxfire to save my password. I clicked yes, and it has worked fine until I changed my password. Now Foxfire continues to us my old password and I am not sure how to reset this or to turn it off.

You can view and remove passwords here:
Tools menu > Options > Security > "Saved Passwords"
Does it work?

Even after uninstalling and re-installing adobe, I still get this error message every time a new window opens. How do I cure this: Windows cannot find '(see details below)'.

This started immediately after I updated the Adobe Reader for the first time. Here's the file name: C:Documents and Settings\Terrel B\Application Data\Moxilla\Firefox\Profiles\gfl6v9u5.default\extensions\{E2883E8F-472F-4fb0-9522-AC9BF37916A7}\chrome\content\getPlusPlus_Adobe_reg.exe

I think there might be a bug in FF18. After the upgrade, I would also get the error message and couldn't open any site, though using "No proxy" worked I believe. Turns out I had something set under network.proxy.socks (and network.proxy.socks_port) (leftovers of tests done a while back) and even though they shouldn't have been used (I believe, FF17 didn't & I'm using "Use system proxy settings") they obviously were, leading to the problem.
Just resetting those 2 options fixed things for me, and I didn't have time to look into it more, but there might be a bug in there somewhere...
Maybe try checking under about:config if you have any proxy settings set (that you don't need/use) (You don't seem to have any set, but I can't recall if they were visible in the Preferences window or not for me...), and if so reset them. Or just look for any (network) options not using its default value... (Assuming, as it did for me, that running FF18 with a brand new profile works fine.)

I cannot open my Gmail messages in Firefox except when I answer. Internet Explorer does work. How can I solve this.

This started a couple of days ago with my wife's gmail account while I could still read my messages. Today I cannot read them either and we have not changed anything in settings.

That issue can be caused by the Adblock Plus extension

Bought iTunes Gift cards and lost them in the train earlier today. I send an email using Express lane, have just been informed that Apple cannot assist me in deactivating these cards before someone else(a thief no doubt) uses them. How can I solve this?

I am shocked Apple is not taking this seriously. I have receipt and my bank statement to prove the transaction took place. £250 (£50 x 5) is what I will be losing.

iTunes gift cards, as is the case with many gift cards, are like cash; if you lose them, they're gone and cannot be refunded, nor can Apple deactivate the cards; they have no way of doing so. Sorry, but you're just out that money.

I have enough free space on my storage but yet it won't let me install the app. I have checked the size of the app and I have more than enough room. How can I fix this?

If you could post a resolution or an explanation it would be much appreciated. Regards

Do yo really have enough free storage?
To download/install an app directly to the iPod you need available storage equal to about three times the file download size. Syncing the app to the iPod requires a lot less. Thus you either have to free up more storage or sync the app from your computer.

After every Firefox 34.0 reloading my add-ons have been switched off by unknown program or virus. Although i can switch them on and reboot firefox to fix it, but it is a little bit boring. How can i solve this problem?

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Is there any way to disable "Checking Your Add-ons" window that comes when user starts Firefox after update for the first time?

we have over 1500 firefox users and its very confusing to them if after update they start their Firefox and this "Checking Your Add-ons" window comes.
It would be much appreciated if it can somehow skipped this or do it silently.

Unfortunately this link does not help.
We currently have 3.6.x versions of Firefox in most computers, and if i do a silent install via sccm to version 12, then if user starts the new firefox for the first time, it checks addons, like java quick starter and browsing protection (f-secure) etc. Second time when they start firefox, it starts normally.
My question is - is there some way to avoid this first run addon compability checking?
I've tried numerous preferences in mozilla.cfg, nothing helps so far.

I downloaded 11.0 and it's hanging on install at "checking your add-ons".

I downloaded 11.0 to update my software and it won't respond at all.
I can't uninstall, can't do anything else.
I have add-ons that I suspect aren't supported, but how do I get to them to disable if I can't get the program to install?
Safemode startup isn't doing anything, but then it hangs before the "checking your add-ons" screen.
Can't get to the menu bar to do anything else.

What you can do is to go into your profile ([https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Profiles#w_finding-your-profile-without-opening-firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Profiles#w_finding-your-profile-without-opening-firefox] can help you find it) and delete or rename these files:
extensions.ini
extensions.cache
extensions.rdf
Once you do that, try opening Firefox again.

I cannot shut off checking my add-ons or welcome dialogue every time I bring up FF 4. How can I shut this nonsense off???
