I have disabled add=ons but T/bird still freezes when i try to read/send message. Why?

For the last week my t/bird a/c freezes frequently [but not always] when i open it to read/reply to messages.
In addition logging in to the mail server seems to take at least 2 and often 3 tries before a message counts as "sent" and copying the message to the "sent" folder casues the same problem [sometimes] .
I haveclosed the program and re=opened in "safe" mode ...i e minues the add=ons....doens't seen to make any difference.
The freeze , when it occurs, has "not responding" at the top of the page...sometimes i just leave it for a while , sometimes i close and re-open the prgram.Neither seem to solve the immediate problem. Internet access is NOT affected ...i can browse whilst T/bird is frozen.
Thoughts?

Mapquest sign in box does not appear in Firefox but does in Internet Explorer. Why? Have disabled add ons but no luck.

The sign in box does not show up on Mapquest when I use Firefox. If I use Internet Explorer, the sign in box appears. I disabled the Firefox add-ons thinking there might be a conflict but no luck. Mapquest support is at a dead end, too, especially with it working in IE but not in Firefox. Suggestions?

Can you post a link to that login page or is this a pop-up window?

How do I find bad music files? I have thousands of files, but some are bad. When I try to load them into iTunes, it just spins. I need a routine to identify and remove the bad files. Any ideas?

Free cd/dvd burner for mac os 10.7 - the version i have is roxio toast but in os10.7.5 when i try to open app - it said can't open app because powerpc apps arent supported ?

- the version i have is roxio toast but in os10.7.5 when i try to open app - it said can't open app because powerpc apps arent supported ?
is there a free app download to burn cd/dvd for os10.7?

Depending on what type of CD/DVD you intend to burn, you may not need any 3rd party applications:
- To burn data CDs or DVDs simply insert a blank disc, drag files to the empty FInder window that represents the disc, then click the burn button (I think t appears near the top of the finder window).
- To burn music CDs just use iTunes
- To create disk images from a CD or DVD use Disk Utility. To burn .iso or .cdr images to disc use Disk Utility.
About the only type of disc burning that you may need a 3rd party application for is to create a DVD movie (iDVD used to do this but no longer a supported app). I haven't ever needed anything outside of the built-in capabilities of OS X when it comes to burnig CD or DVD media. One suggestion is to make sure to remove all of the Roxio software so that it doesn't interfere with the built-in OS X capabilities.
Hope this heps.

I've just upgraded my software to 10.8.5 and have discovered this morning that the autofill feature freezes when I try to use it.

I've just upgraded my software to 10.8.5 and have discovered this morning that the autofill feature freezes when I try to use it. I have worked through all of the suggestions in HELP. The autofill prompt appears when I start to fill in a form but doesn't then provide the option box to select autofill from my contact card, the autofill prompt remains on the screen and can only be cleared by closing Safari and then reopening it. This never happened before and in fact autofill has been working perfectly up until now.

You can create another iCloud account easily enough, but you will only be able to create a new @icloud.com address to go with it, not @me.com - and you can't transfer your @me.com address from the other account.Creating a new account will have no effect on the existing one.
However you don't need to create a new iCloud account to create an additional ermail address. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
More information on aliases here:
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
While you can delete aliases, you cannot delete the address you created when you opened the account.

Had to disabled add ons but it seems to have caused YouTube to insist I upgrade Adobe Flash Player. Did so several times, rebooted and reinstalled Foxfire but still can't play any videos on YouTube with Firefox. Chrome works fine. Please fix.

Youtube on Firefox won't recognize Adobe Flash Player.

What is your current Flash Player version: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html ?
What is your display adapter, driver version & date? See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765

Firefox wont start up or launch even right after disabling add ons but lauches once it's in safe mode, already uninstalled and reinstalled and still the same.

i dont know if this matters but here's my computer specs:
System
Manufacturer Hewlett-Packard
Model HP Compaq 6720s
Total amount of system memory 2.00 GB RAM
System type 64-bit operating system
Number of processor cores 1
please need your help on this.

I have installed add-ons, but they do not show up on add-on bar at bottom of page and I don't know how to access them.

I installed the French dictionary (Classique & Réforme 1990) today and some time ago added the security add-on, Better Privacy by Netticat. Nothing shows up on my add-on bar at the bottom of the page when I use the Ctrl+/ command. How can I access either add-on?

Are you sure .mov files worked on the iPhone without a third part player? I'm just not sure...
Try these instructions from Apple:
Convert a video to work with iPhone: Select the video in your iTunes library and choose Advanced > “Create iPod or iPhone Version.” Then add the converted video to iPhone.

Tabs will not load sometimes unless I move the cursor or hold down an arrow button. If I close all tabs and reopen, it will work properly for a while then start doing the same thing. I've tried disabling add-ons but it does not help.

I've had this problem with earlier versions of Firefox. I am currently running the latest version which I think is 6.0.1. Firefox also is not responding a lot since the latest version update. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

After automaticly updated to the version 7 the extensions page in the Add-ons Manager went blank and give this sentence "you don't have any add-ons of this type installed" but all the add-ons still working in the program

All the add-ons I had installed for the version 3+++ still working at the version 7, but the problem is that the extensions page in the add-ons manager is blank except a sentence that says "You don't have any add-ons of this type installed"

https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/826729 has a solution for the problem

Thnderbird 31.1.2 hangs on Windows 8.1, but not (so far) in safe mode. I have no add-ons. Using Comodo antivirus, and previously using Avast

Thunderbird just seems to hang. Using 2 Gmail (imap) accounts.
This seems to be triigered randomly, but also if I delete or move more than about 3 emails at a time.
It hangs even after I removed all the add-ons, but seems to be OK with (recent) use of Thunderbird Safe mode.
Thanks in advance

Hit the '''Alt''' key to show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar and Navigation bar, so they have a check-mark.

I have downloaded two add-ons but can't find them

Hello
I have recently installed Firefox Mozilla and two add-ons that I needed.
They appear in the add ons menu and are activated.
But I cannot see them anywhere in Firefox
All menus are activated including the add-on bar which appears at the bottom of my screen but is empty
Where might the icons be for my add ons please?
Thanks in advance
SafeTex

Hello Fredmcd
In the Mozilla menu, I click on 'add ons' but it the pop up Mozilla page, they seem to be under extensions.
One of them was 'download you tube videos as mp4' and that is solved (it only appears when you download'
The other one is "encrypted communication 1.3' by Diego Casorran and I have never been able to locate it to use. On the site, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/encrypted-communication/
people say you just compose a message and then toggle with the icon but I don't see how I can compose a message in Mozilla

I have just updated my plug in & add ons, but they are several that say to research. How do I know what plug ins are necessary for mozilla to run properly. I really don't want a bunch of unnecessary downloads on my computer

I have just updated my plug in & add ons, but they are several that say to research. How do I know what plug ins are necessary for firefox to run properly. I really don't want a bunch of unnecessary downloads on my computer

None are '''''necessary''''' to use Firefox, but some parts of some web pages aren't going to work without a specific plugin being installed.

I have disabled add=ons but T/bird still freezes when i try to read/send message. Why?
