  • I keep getting a message about a problem with the plug in container for firefox. what does it mean?

    I am getting a pop up box saying that there is a problem with the plug in container for firefox. It keeps saying do I want windows to find a fix for it and close it or do I just want to close the program. What is this plug in container for firefox and why am I constantly getting this message? It has been happening for the past month or two.

    It means either you have a faulty/out of date plugin, or your firewall/antivirus is causing problems with Firefox.
    Make sure you update all your plugins and disable unwanted ones.
    https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/disable-or-remove-add-ons
    Also, make sure your firewall/antivirus is not blocking plugincontainer.exe from the Firefox folder in your computer. How you make sure that's not the case will depend on your firewall/antivirus.

  • Firefox keeps freezing then crashing and a window opens saying "The Plug-In container for Firefox has stopped working..."

    Every 5 minutes or so Firefox will freeze and if I'm on a website that uses the flash player the ads and what not will stop and an error thing replaces them and says Adobe Flash Player has crashed. Then a window pops up and says "The Plug-In container for Firefox has stopped working..." or something like that. Then my laptop will work slower until Firefox crashes. Any solutions ?

  • How do I get the warning message back that says information you are sending may be read by a third party continue or cancel?

    I used to get the pop down screen that said information you are sending could be read by a third party, continue or cancel. at the left corner there was a little box the was checked that said basically always ask this first, somehow I was not paying attention and unchecked it. now the warning does not appear.

    You can set the pref <b>security.warn_submit_insecure</b> to true and maybe other security.warn prefs as well on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

  • "Plug in container for firefox has stopped working." I'm getting this message a dozen times a day. Is there a solution to this problem?

    I went to sync my iPhone 4 as usual with my iTunes account on my MacBook Pro and when it got to the end stage of the sync where it syncs with iPhoto, I get a pop up message that says, "The iPhone cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." What do I do?

    Hi. I am having the same problem.
    I have updated iPhone software and carrier settings, OSX Lion on the comp and in step 4 of 4 during photo sync about half way through, the error message comes up and now my pics are gone from the phone. I did empty the cache and the problem still persisted. I changed cables, I restored the phone and synced from the back up and even restored and created a new phone identity, still no love.
    I am puzzeled, any suggestions?

  • After an update to firefox I keep getting a warning from my Firewall (McAfee) "Program wants internet access". I have permission set at outgoing for firefox and updates checking off, to check that request is valid so what does it need access for

    After an update to firefox I keep getting a warning from my Firewall (McAfee) "Program wants internet access". I have permission set at outgoing for firefox and updates checking off, to check that request is valid so what does it need access for

    This was not a Firefox update, but a piece of malicious software you have inadvertently downloaded from a site called http://ffftp.co.cc/ which is impersonating Firefox. I discovered this as soon as my Zonealarm requested permission for "Golds" to access the internet. Golds??!! However I couldn't find a file with this name installed on my computer.
    You should delete the file you downloaded and certainly do not allow internet access to any suspicious program. If you have already given permission, scan your PC immediately for any virus, malware, etc. Best of luck.

  • Why am i getting an error that says I have to erase and sync?

    Why am I getting and error that says I have to erase and sync ?

    Are you trying to connect the iPod to a new/different computer/iTunes library?  If so, it's because an iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library/computer at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new one, it'll wipe all content from the iPod and replace it with what is in the new library.

  • Getting a message in editing that says the program has stopped?

    I am continually getting a message (most commonly in Quick Fix but also sometimes in Full Edit) that says "Adope Photoshop Elements (Editor) has stopped working.  Windows is checking for a solution"  Then it comes back with an additional message that says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available".  I'm not sure how Windows is supposed to notify me but I haven't seen anything from Windows regarding this problem.  Anyone else having this issue?

    Try deleting the Editor's preferences:

    (You can take screenshots of the windows in your computer using Alt+PrintScreen... No need to use a camera)
    This is quite odd. Where did you get the Reader installer from? I would suggest uninstalling it and then downloading the installer from Adobe (here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/ ) and re-installing it.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access web mail, you need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

  • When I click on firefox I get a java script error that says "TypeError: Components.classes[TvtPwmComponent_CID] is undefined", what does that mean?

    Whenever I click on firefox, or when a pop-up occurs, I get a java script error that says, "TypeError: Components.classes[TvtPwmComponent_CID] is undefined". I don't know why. It first occurred while I was on ESPN while trying to watch college games live.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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.
