I deleted some apps in Firefox 4 b2, opened 3.6, closed 3.6 and opened FF 4 again. But now it's presenting a series of very severe problems.

After doing what I described in the thread title, Firefox 4 presented the following issues:
1- Tabs would not close.
2- The "forward" and "back" button would not be lit or clickable, as if I didn't visit any websites. Although pages did load, I could not go back and forth between them via these buttons.
3- the "feedback" button in the right-hand side of the screen was completely gone. Trying to download the respective feedback app that Mozilla provides didn't work, it wouldn't download.
4- the App Management screen would not open.
5- I did not save any of the pages from the previous session. They did appear in Firefox 3.6, wich appears to be functioning normally. The apps I had removed in FF4 were also removed in 3.6.
So basically my FF 4 got completely messed up. Reinstalling it did nothing. Cleaning the registry with Registry Mechanic was to no avail either. I had to uninstall FF4 since it was unusable.

Your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up by another program that you installed.
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''general.useragent.'''
Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset''''',
Then restart Firefox

    So basically my FF 4 got completely messed up. Reinstalling it did nothing. Cleaning the registry with Registry Mechanic was to no avail either. I had to uninstall FF4 since it was unusable.
    Possibly useful fact: The apps I had removed in FF 4 were also removed in 3.6, wich indicates that maybe the FF 4 installation did not create copies of it's own for the bookmarks, apps, cache etc, so I am afraid to delete those when the FF 4 uninstallation wizard prompts me to, as it would also probably delete the stuff I have in 3.6 .
    == This happened ==

    I assume by apps you mean add-ons or extensions or plugins. These are held in the profile.
    Unless you set up a new profile, then FF4 and FF3 would be using the same one.
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    When I test a beta I always use a new profile, or update one from a previous version, but I would never expect the profile to be usable again in a previous version of Firefox.
    Since FF4 has a new add-on manager it doesn't surprise me that FF 3 won't work with a profile that's been modified in FF 4.

  • I deleted some apps on accident, went to my recycle bin and saw they were in there so i restored them, but now i can't find them. Did i totally lose them?

    I deleted some apps on accident. I went to my recycling bin and saw them in there. I tried to restore them thinking that they would just reappear on itunes, but they didn't. Is there a way i can get them back or did i completely lose them?

    Which idiot at apple decided this was intuitive?
    I too have lost months of work, because when Notes started to mysteriously appear in Mail, I deleted them (That makes sense doesn't it? - Its not MAIL) Why would any one then setup the best OS in the world to delete the actual notes (from within Mail) in the application you created them in???? with no warning and no backup. Months of work, instantly destroyed. This is why i pay the Apple prices!!
    If Jobs was still around, heads would roll.

  • I had deleted some Apps on my iOS Devices (iPad mini and iPhone 5), but they are still in the Cloud. How can I delete them in the Cloud, too ?

    Hallo together,
    I had deleted some Apps on my iPhone and iPad, but they are still in the Cloud. My First iPhone was a 2, my Second a 4S and now I use a 5. With the 2 I had used a different Apple-ID, but I put some Apps via Backup from one Apple-ID to another. As I get a Message by furtherly Backups, that some Apps are not can be saved because the Apple-ID is no longer on that PC registred, I had deleted this Apps to get they new for the actually Apple-ID. But I'm not shure, when I install them now, that they are working under the correct Apple-ID.
    Any Ideas to solve the Probs ?

    Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

    The iCloud storage is meant for your backup, you do not get more space on iPhone.
    You can by connecting to computer iTunes for update then you will not have space problem

  • How can i make more room for my icloud storage on my ipad? i want to delete some apps to make more room but it won't let me?

    Why are you SHOUTING in the worst font ever invented?
    Apps aren't stored in iCloud.
    Are you trying to clear space in iCloud (which is stored on the internet, not in your iPad), or are you trying to clear some space in the internal storage of your iPad?

  • I have an iPad2 and I can't delete some apps I downloaded that I don't want.  I can get the apps lto wiggle, but there is no X in the upper left corner for deletion.  Any help is much appreciated.

    I have an iPad2 and I can't delete some apps I was downloading but froze.  I can get the apps to wiggle, but there is no X in the upper left corner for deletion. I have tried re-setting and didn't work. Help will be appreciated.

    See if anything here helps.
    If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
    Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • I have deleted some apps from iPad.

    I have deleted some apps from iPad. When I connect it to Mac, Itunes starts to sync ipad and all apps installed back!!! Why??? I wanted to send one m4a file to iPad, but iTunes started a huge sync process all over 3 hours and + 1 hour I was deleting not needed apps. Please - help! We all need one app iTunes - to have a simple tool to sync devices, but this process became NOT simple. Now I am afraid of it! I want to do everything not to connect my iPad to Mac.
    Please - make it simplier! I want to have a control of this process and do what I want to do.

    Thank you very much)

  • HT201304 I would like to permanently delete some apps but seems I can only hide?

    I would like to permanently delete some apps but seems I can only hide?

    Tap and hold down on the app icon until it wiggles them tap the X that pops up on the icon to delete the app. Tap the home button to stop the apps from wiggling.Make sure that you delete the app in iTunes as well if the app is in iTunes on your computer.
    If you want to remove the app from your purchase history, you can't. You can only hide the purchase.

    You cannot upgrade from v6 to v7 without purchasing iLife 08.
    Can you give more details about your crashing issue. Make of camera etc.,
    You can start with the troubleshooting basics:
    1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
    2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
    3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts), create an iPhoto library there and see if the problem is repeated. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • Can i delete the apps that comes with the 5s phone, like itunes, weather and others that i won't be using?

    can i delete the apps that comes with the 5s phone, like itunes, weather and others that i won't be using?

    You can't delete some of the native apps but you can put them away in a folder OR some of them you can make invisible by restricting them (iTunes for example).

  • HT1199 Hi. I've got an issue with Pages running on Mavericks on Macbook air. Every time I open the app it hangs right there and I can't do anything on it. I've uninstall and install it back again but the issue still persists. Any help please?

    Thank you so much for helping,
    But i really wonder how you did that. did you always switch between design view and preview view, then change the key position for 2px then switch back, to align the four letters? because i imagine that can get really frustrating, if you have a logo consisting of 58 parts instead of 4!:)
    Anyway thank you very much for your time and effort!!!!

    Im not satasfied with 6.0, i miss youtube, some apps are slower, facebook wants premission to access my contacts, and how do i use apple tv feature with out mirroring?

    That is awesome, works perfectly.
    I'll get it worked into my main script. Is this Action Manager code, and not just regular Javascript from the Scripting Dictionary? I can't tell the difference. I'll see whether or not it's actually faster than Applescript.
    Thanks. I know Scripting Listener records a bunch of stuff, but it's pretty amazing to me that playing back this line does the same thing that playing back the 1,011 lines Scripting Listener puts out.
    Thanks.

  • All of a sudded, my firefox browser isnt allowing my to click links and open pages, or open anything on the top area of the screen.

    All of a sudded, my firefox browser isnt allowing my to click links and open pages, or open anything on the top area of the screen. For example i go to my email and i cant click on inbox, send, create, folders, mark as unread. It is like this on every website?? Its really annoying i cant do anything becasue most sites have login at the top of the screen and i cant login to anything.

    That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.
