I got the new 8.0 version of firefox today and now when I put a new URL in an open tab or type a URL in a new tab, NOTHING HAPPENS!! HELP!!!!!

Since I installed the 8.0 Firefox version earlier today I have been unable to get to new Web pages by typing in their URLs. If I click on a link in a tab which was open before the install ( and was called up by Restore Session after I installed the new version) - say in one of my email messages in the Hotmail tab or a tab with another Web page showing - all is well and I go to the new page. Same if I click on the Back arrow: I can go back and forward to pages which have already been opened in the prior session.
However, if I type a URL to a new site into the address/location bar, OR open a new tab and enter a URL there ... when I press the Enter key NOTHING AT ALL happens. Same thing if I click on the Go to new address arrow that appears at the right side of the location bar - nothing. This has happened over and over.
What is going on? If I use IE, everything works just fine, so it must be something in Firefox. Do I need to just go back the the previous version of Firefox which I had before this latest update? As it is now, I can't go to any pages I haven't looked at in my restored session, which is not only frustrating but makes Firefox pretty useless for future use. Or, if it's some other problem, any ideas on what and how to fix it? Thanks.

I downloaded the latest version of iTunes today and now I keep getting an error while trying to open it. I have no clue how to fix it. Can anyone help?

This is the error I get:
Problem Event Name:

Application Name:
iTunes.exe

Hey there kmliby,
It sounds like you are getting an error message when trying to open iTunes. Depending on the version of your Windows version, I recommend either of these 2 articles to help resolve launch issues.

I recently got an extension cord for my ipad charger and the first time I used it it worked and now when I plug it in to my ipad It doesn't do anything. What do I do?

I recently got an extension cord for my ipad charger and the first time I used it it worked and now when I plug it in to my ipad It doesn't do anything. What do I do?

I think that we all understood what you meant. If the extension cord is no longer working, then return it.
We are all trying to tell you that you can plug the power block into a standard household extension cord - using the short cord that came with the iPad - and there is no need for the extension cord that you bought.

Hi,
The error is totally unrelated to Firefox. Please see [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336 this]. The [http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us Windows OS forum] will also be helpful.
Please also check the downloaded file by right-clicking > Properties > Digital Signatures, which should say '''Mozilla Corporation''' and '''This digital signature is ok''' in '''Details'''. You can download Firefox from a known site like e.g. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
You can try to Reset Firefox which would hopefully display the missing features, all (contacts, emails, settings etc.) of which are actually stored at the MSN site and are temporarily displayed by Firefox every time the site is accessed.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

I think I fixed this problem a few years ago by literally copying and pasting all my audio content into the iTunes library folder. I can't remember what is called of the top of my head and I don't know if this will still work.

Hi,
I had the same issue on my iPhone 5S. My internet/email provider told me to uncheck (turn off) USE SSL under Mail settings, and it worked perfectly for me.

When i roll over my mouse to try the new personas, nothing happens?

I updated firefox and on the start-up page, it recommended me to try some new personas. When i rolled my mouse over the personas, nothing happens. On my laptop however, when i roll over, the persona does change.

Unfortunately, many less-technical users won't understand your reference "whitelisting" (which doesn't actually appear in FF's settings). Some may even assume they should turn off "Warn me when sites try to install add-ons"—and that's not a good idea.
So to avoid confusion, here's how to actually do what you described:
1. On Firefox's Tools menu, click Options. The Options window appears.
2. At the top of the window, click Security. Be sure the checkbox is selected that says "Warn me when sites try to install add-ons", then click the Exceptions button next to it.
3. A dialog box appears that says "Allowed Sites - Add-ons Installation". In the text box that says "Address of web site:", type:
www.getpersonas.com
5. Click the Close button to close the dialog box, then click OK to close the Options window.
You should now be able to preview Personas by pointing to them.

Did the update to Firefox today and now having problems with Comcast

I did the update to Firefox today. I am able to log into Comcast, but am having trouble with staying logged in. I go to the home page, it tells me I am not logged in, so I go to the log in page, log in, and it takes me back to the home page showing that I am logged in. When I try to go access my email, instead of taking me to that page, it just takes me back to the log in page. It also does this when I navigate anywhere else on the site. Help!

One of the changes in Firefox 4: '''''by default''''' Firefox 4 does not display the warning message when closing multiple tabs, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.

TS3716 I downloaded the new version of iTunes today and now iTunes won't recognize my iPod. Windows can see it but iTunes can't see it so it won't sync.

Before the update was applied all was fine. I rebooted both the PC and the iPod with no success. I reinstalled iTunes and rebooted with no success. I tried different cables and different slots for the cable, none worked.

Good luck Friend.

How come my screen always freeze when Mozilla brings up a new version. That happened on last Firefox update and now when the new Thunderbird was installed. This is really bugging me.

I am using Windows 7. This never happened when I used XP Professional.

Hi John, thanks a lot, I see that. It actually answers another question I have. I already had that box checked, but I never knew that dialogue box was there. Anyway, my MOTU midi express 128 is dimmed and all 8 midi channel lights are on which has never happened before so there must be something wrong with my midi setup now. sheesh! This helps a lot! Thanks!

I just got Firefox 10 and now when I open a pictue it comes up in resized version. How do I change so it opens the full size version instead?

I did not have this problem until I upgraded.

Set the Boolean pref browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing to false on the about:config page.

With the newest auto update version of firefox there is now a white bar that pops up when you move your mouse over that area. i want that gone, how?

when you move your mouse underneath the address bar a white bar pops up, this makes it so you can't click buttons or links on websites, like login buttons for example. also when in full screen mode you can no longer mouse over tabs at the top of the screen, only that white bar shows up. that prtty much kills full screen usage for me. so that popup white bar and the full screen with the white bar without tabs has just about ruined firefox for me. anyway to fix this would be great.

 While you are in safe mode; 
'''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. 
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
