Hello Howard.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there.

    Yes:
    Step 1: Delete the preview cache.
    That's it!
    So, the trick is to find the preview cache.
    This document gives location:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html
    To be clear: it's a folder in with your catalog and you want to delete the whole folder but nothing else.
    If your catalog file path is "X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog.lrcat", then the preview cache "folder" will be:
    X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog Previews.lrdata
    So the trick is to find your catalog file, and since Lr won't open your catalog and run, you can't use it to find out.
    But you should be able to find it by searching your disks for *.lrcat files - do you know how to do that?
    Which OS?
    If you know the name of the catalog it will help, but also: it's probably NOT in with your program files.
    UPDATE: The above-mentioned document gives default name and location for preview cache, so if you haven't overridden the default, it should be right where that document said it would be - is it? (of course you need to know your user name too, but presumably you do, no?).

    Since this is not icloud related, I suggest you post over in the iTunes forums.  Or the iPhoto forum if that is what you are using, or the Aperture forum (these two are for mac users).
    It would also help if you tell us whether the laptop is mac or pc.

    Csound1 What Ive been trying to explain is that I have been running bootcamp, I open the app where the first screen is the introduction, i hit continue, the first time I select "download the latest windows support software fromm Apple" then I return and instead select "Install Windows 7." Then hit continue. The third screen is where I "Create a Partition for Windows" I set Windows to 80 gigs then hit INSTALL. As stated before Bootcamp cannot find the install drivers saying "The installer disc could not be found." My windows software is on a USB drive not a disc, I tried using a virtual disc reader to make it appear that the windows software was running on a disc, still no luck. What I would like to know is how to install windows on bootcamp.

  • The first time I try to load video on BBC website, firefox crashes. When I restart it, the video loads. This happens EVERY TIME I start a new internet session. WHY?

    I am using a mac, and every time I turn it on, load the BBC website on firefox and then try to load a video there, firefox crashes. I select restart from the two options provided, and when it reloads the BBC page, I can watch that video and any other on the site without problems. Then, if I shut the mac down and turn it on again, the problem once again occurs. Is this just a bug in firefox?

  • My wife and I have separate login for the Macbook, and separate iCloud accounts, by my contacts still sync to her iPhone. Why is this, and how can we fix it so every time she turns iCloud on, she doesn't end up with all my contacts?

    Hey everyone,
    This problem has been bugging me for a very long time, and have not been able to find the answer I am looking for.
    My wife and I both have separate iphone's with separate iCloud accounts and all. We also both use a Macbook Pro with separate logins.
    The issue is, when my wife logs in to her account on the macbook, and turns the contacts on to sync with icloud on her phone, all of my contacts are saving to her phone.
    This has happened multiple times, and she says she just wont use it, but I rather have everything work together correctly.
    Please help!!!

    If you share an Apple ID, both of your phone numbers should be linked to that ID. You should be able to use your phone number as well. My wife, my daughter and I all share an Apple ID for purchases, and we each text from our iOS devices using our own iPhone numbers.
    When iOS 6 came out, you were able to link the phone number with your Apple ID to use for Messages and FaceTime. You will need to sign out of messages on all devices and then start the process all over again.
    Take a look at this.

  • When I open Firefox, 'Restore Session' comes up, but it's blank: none of my tabs are actually in the window, and 'restore session' isn't clickable in that window or under 'History'. This happens every time now, whether it's 80 tabs or 2. What's happened?

    I'm on an HP laptop, using Firefox 7.0.1; the first time this happened I'd had to hard-shutdown and restart. I don't clear my history on closing or anything. No new plugins.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • Why does this happen EVERY time??

    I am disabled, a low phone user but use broadband a fair amount. Being on a fixed, low income I need to know what I'm paying out each month and keep it as low as possible. To that end I end up having a conversation each year with BT to get a decent deal.
    Each year they appear to help me, on paper; I get reasonable quotes and go ahead with the contract. To make sure I keep my monthly payments down, I keep an eye on my billing online and make additional payments should I go over the usage allowance of my particular plan.
    And then EVERY YEAR, they get the monthly payments wrong. Last year, out of the blue they took £44 per month when it should have been £34; I was refunded. This year, with a quoted monthly charge of £31-and-change, they have taken £37.50 and this despite me making - as usual, if it's required - an additional payment covering over usage on my last bill BEFORE the new contract was taken out.
    I had asked for, and been given, a written total of the monthly charges.
    My account page still shows "we will continue to take £34 on or just after the 3rd of the month".
    And then they randomly take - as they did last year - a completely different sum altogether!
    BT are in breach of the Direct Debit Guarantee by doing this; the rules say:
    "If there are any changes to the amount, date or frequency of your Direct Debit the organisation will notify you (normally 10 working days) in advance of your account being debited or as otherwise agreed."
    As (1) they have not notified me: they have clearly stated they will take a given amount and (2) this given amount is higher than the monthly charges anyway and (3) I have, as they suggest if you wish to avoid an increase, made an additional payment.... WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS?
    I am tired of the constant battle with BT to just stick to what they agreed to charge me. The fact that I'm writing this at three in the morning should indicate the levels of stress this sort of thing can produce. I have emailed via the 'Contact Us' page on the website about this but no doubt I will get some scripted reply, if I'm lucky a small refund and then the same thing will happen AGAIN next year. I just want to know why this keeps happening!  

    I am on the monthly payment plan because nobody at BT has told me there is any alternative!
    Each year there I have a long, in-depth conversation with the person who sets up the contract for the next year but the gist of the thing is 'I'm  not going to be paying more than [x amount] per month, am I? Because I can't afford any more'' and each year the person says that no, in fact I should be paying less... and then without notice and even with the bill saying 'We will continue to take....' a totally different - and higher - sum disappears from my bank account.
    Then I go through the painful process of writing to complain about this, get some sort of sum refunded and then the payments go through at the level they should, with me paying any additional (usually small) amounts for usage over the allowance. Until contract end when we start all over again...
    Even if the amount they seem to randomly decide on is based on some sort of forecast, this should not be happening as I am doing what they instruct me to do on the bill to keep my payments the same.
    So something is going wrong, on many levels.
    At no point have I been offered the sort of 'monthly billing' described here; maybe there is some reason I am not allowed it. Unfortunately 'whole bill' direct debit payment is beyond me. I really need to know what I will be paying each month and I need BT to correctly take that amount, as agreed, each month, from the get-go.
    It shouldn't be that hard really! Does anyone from BT read these forums? Can somebody take this on and finally get this straight, please?

  • After every Firefox upgrade I am unable to use it. I have to uninstall it then reinstall Firefox. This happens every time there's an upgrade.

    Firefox alerts everytime there's an upgrade available. I decline the upgrade because of crashes. Then Firefox automatically upgrades. When that happens I can no longer access the internet. I have to uninstall Firefox then go online via IE and reinstall Firefox. Once it it reinstalled it works fine. So my question is - why does an upgrade cause Firefox to stop working and how can I avoid that in the future?

  • "Light Room 5.4 Encountered An Error When Reading Its Cache and Needs To Quit" It's happening every time I try to open LR... I'd be grateful for any help.

    Hi! Every time, no matter if I've restarted or powered down, even if it's the only program running, it's the same error. I've checked for any updates for my laptop, made sure it's been defragged weekly, checked system performance... all to no avail. Today is the first issue I've had with LR5.4, and I've been trying to correct it since this morning. I'd be grateful for any and all help. Thank you!
