I have downloaded and used Firefox on several MAC computers and it keeps disappearing . I turn my computer on and it is gone from my desktop and my menu. Why is this happening?

I just installed firefox on 2 computers a few weeks ago and each time I turn on my computer it is gone. Why is it removing itself from my Mac?

There are two boxes in the middle of the screen, one says "RENTED MOVIES" the other says "Ipad".  I can't get the MOVE button to allow me to move them to the Ipad box, not one at a time, not both, and then I try the Apply.  I've even tried the REVERT.  Nothing seems to work properly.  I even unplugged the Ipad, closed itunes and tried again.  I really want to watch these on the plane tomorrow.  I even took everything else off, just in case.  The MOVE button is the problem.

    Hi,

    As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
    Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.
    Poster rccharles has provided this description of what it all means:
    drwxrwxrwx
    d = directory
    r = read
    w = write
    x = executeable program

  • I downloaded the updated Firefox, but the ad-on for converting YouTube music videos to mps files is now unavailable. How do I get it back? Why was this feature disabled?

    I downloaded the updated Firefox, but the ad-on for converting YouTube music videos to mps files is now unavailable. How do I get it back? Why was this feature disabled?
    In the former Firefox version there was a box to click for converting YouTube music videos into HQ mp3 files. That box is no longer apparent in the new Firefox version. I went back to Ad-On s and re-downloaded the program YouTube to MP3 1.2. It says it's not compatible with Firefox 6.0. Can I reinstall the older version of Firefox?

    When I clicked on the second site mentioned, I got such EXPLICIT, step-by-step directions!!! Thank you so much. I'd been wondering what that window was that kept popping up with the Firefox icon and that other funny thing. The word *install* was never mentioned. Pictographs were never my thing.
    When I looked under the initial system requirements, it said that OS X 10.4.5 and higher were good for 5.0. I didn't check further. Under your advice, I'll go with the older version. Thank you for taking the time to help me.

  • TS1398 I have recently updated my software to iOS 7. I have made an Apple ID which works for everything else but imessage and FaceTime. Why is this happening? What can I do to resolve this issue?

    I have recently updated my ipad mini to iOS 7. My Apple ID works for everything apart from iMessage and FaceTime. When I sign in, it says check your network connectivity and try agin. I have tried several times. Why is this happening? What can I do to resolve this issue?

    I am having this problem.  At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2.  I am not sure why this is happening. 
    My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
    The problem mainly occurs with apps.  I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them.  The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
    Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage.  It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup.  With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up.  The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
    My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete.  This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
    I have been wondering if others have had these same problems. 

  • Unable to open any kind of file once I have downloaded it using Firefox 4

    I have noticed that, since switching to Firefox 4, I am having trouble opening files (ANY kind of file) either straight from the link or after downloading and saving them to my hard drive while using firefox (for instance, Word, Powerpoint, or Adobe documents from my school's curriculum page) . I get an error message when I open them, with the intended application usually telling me that the "file cannot be opened." When I try to download the same files using Safari, they download and open just fine. What's really weird is that I don't have this problem all the time. Sometimes I will try to download a file and I will get an error message, and then 30 minutes later after making NO changes, it will download and open just fine. I have the problem more often then not, though. I have noticed this happen on several different wireless networks.
    Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

    To get any plugins out of the troubleshooting equation, hold down the Shift key and start Photoshop. If Photoshop functions normally, you'll want to look at those.
    There is the keyboard method of resetting Preferences and there is moving or deleting the actual preferences folder as described here:
    FAQ: How do I reset my preferences?
    For some that solves the problem where the keyboard reset did not.
    In any case, being forum volunteers, we would not be able to access your computer the way Adobe Support can. We do well for many problems, and that saves time for a great many, but there are cases where the problem might some place unfamiliar to a lot of us.
    If nothing can get done here, I hope Chat can do better.

  • FireFox is refusing to properly sync and I have even deleted my sync account and started over, why is this happening?

    Up to a few weeks ago FireFox sync was working as expected, but then version 17 rolled out and I had auto update turned on, so all my PCs updated. Quickly I noticed that Roboform Lite didn't work in the new version so I decided to go back to version 16.0.2 on all my PCs to continue using Roboform. I'm confident this must have had some affect on FIrefox Sync, specifically the add-ons, as the bookmarks and others continued to sync properly.
    I've worked on it for 3 days now and after even deleting my sync account and starting from scratch I seem to still be having the same problem. It's weird though, it will begin to sync some of my add-ons, but then stop and refuse to do anymore. I only have about 10 add-ons altogether. Other times it will remove add-ons, which is even more aggravating.
    I also reset FireFox on my main computer that I had initially setup sync.
    Please help me resolve this.
    Mike

    I believe this is a bug in the new Firefox. I'm having the same problem, and so are others on this forum. My guess is just to wait till the next update for some one the bugs to be worked out. FFA was updated recently so it could be FFA's fault

  • For several weeks now, when I click on items on a mozilla page, I get redirected or jumped to some other site. Why is this happening, and how can I stop it?

    When I click on an entry it doesn't take me to that entry -- it takes me to another website. The only way I can seem to get directly to the entry is to cut and paste the URL directly. I never used to have to do this. What is happening?

    This type of behaviour can be caused by malware. Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
    * Malwarebytes - http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
    * SuperAntiSpyware - http://www.superantispyware.com
    * Ad-Aware - http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php

  • TS1490 My download stops at 1 second and 99%! Why is this happening?

    Someone please help me!

    This is a good question to ask the app developer or look at their support site.

  • My apps randomly minimize themselves and when i reopen them from the background they reload. Why is this happening?

    While using any app on my iphone 4 it will randomly minimize the app. Ill double click the home button and it will show the app in the background but when i reopen the app it reloads it. Any idea why this is happening? Ive reinstalled my apps several times and my IOS is up to date.

    Reboot.
    Restore.
    Restore as a new device (do not restore your backup).
    If it still misbehaves after restoring as a new device, then make an appointment at the genius bar.

  • I have downloaded Roberts Book of Birds several times at great cost and I can never get it to open.  Help!  Anyone else experienced this problem?

    I have downloaded Roberts Book of Birds several times at great cost and it never opens.  I just get a cover page and nothing else.  Anyone have any ideas for me?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    You can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue you can open Firefox in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
    Thank you.

  • When my 6 year old daughter plays the free games that I have downloaded for her IPAD and IPOD, I am now getting upgrade charges on these free games to my AMEX Card. WHy is this happening and how do I get my AMEX card off of the IPAD and IPOD?

    When my 6 year old daughter plays the free games that I have downloaded for her IPAD and IPOD, I am now getting upgrade charges on these free games to my AMEX Card. Why is this happening and how do I get my AMEX card off of the IPAD and IPOD?

    She is making in app purchases. Probably not knowing what that means to your monthly credit card bill. Use the Settings app to enable restrictions and turn on restrictions for iTunes, App Store and in app purchases, mabe some others too. The restrictions will be set with a passcode to prevent your daughter from changing them.

    Hey High Socks,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, iTunes isn't working when you try to launch it. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • Just downloaded Firefox 4. Running Windows XP. Some of the new features are mising such as the new "Firefox Button" and the new location for the bookmarks button. The look is almost like Firefox 3. Why is this happening?

    Hi. I just downloaded Firefox 4. Some of the new features are missing such as the new "Firefox Button" and the new location for the bookmarks button. It almost looks just like Firefox 3. I am using Windows XP on this desktop computer. On my laptop, running Windows Vista, Firefox 4 has all the updates advertised. Why is this happening? How do I fix?
