I have firefox 3.6 installed in my laptop but for past few days i have been unable to start it, I uninstalled firefox once and reinstalled it but nothing positive haapened.

I am using windows 7. As I mentioned in the question that firefox has stopped working for last few days though chrome is working fine but as i prefer firefox so i need help. I tried all sort of permutation like uninstalling and reinstalling it and then installing the other versions but nothing worked.

I have already tried removing firefox from my firewall. Even when I do that, my firewall doesn't detect firefox and prompt me to add it. And when I manually add it, it still doesn't work anyways. I've already tried the link as well, but it has been unhelpful. :/
I'm not sure if it matters, but a few weeks before this, I did download Microsoft Security Essentials.

When using Firefox I cannot signin to sites, but can get to sites with tabs on toolbar but cannot signout whe signin, I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it but still have the same problem.

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.

Firefox was working just fine but the last few days it won't let me open it because it says it's already running but it's not how do I close it to open it?

This is the message I get whenever I click on the Foxfire icon on my computer. Even when it has been down for hours:"Foxfire is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."

HT3775 Within the past few days I have been able to watch/listen to YouTube videos downloaded on to my MacBook Air. I just returned from the US where I had been listening to it, and am now back home in Italy. This computer was purchased during that trip

I purchased my MacBook Air at the beginning of August while I was in the US. I have now taken it home and have a little problem. I was listening and downloading music from YouTube while there and didn't have any problem, but now I am unable to listen to the music bacause there is a announcement saying that my system cannot support the video. What happened? Anne

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

I use mozilla, and never usually have problems. But, the last few days I have not been able to open the articles/topics on my homepage. I can on microsoft or google...and I do not want to switch. Is there anything I can do to fix this??

I want to be able to get into the articles on my homepage. I can't do that right now. My homepage loads, but I am not able to read beyond the headlines of the articles.

yes it could well do if your bank thinks there is something going on that is not from you they will block it. I have had this problem before, I would of thought they would of phoned me but they don't do that.
If I was you I would go to my bank make sure they are not doing anything like that. If they say it's all fine then i would phone up apple them self or go into my local apple store, as they should be able to look at what there servers are saying why it's not working.

I don't know if this is a "crash," but Firefox is freezing, "not responding," very often over the past few days. What's the deal? Also, I am getting pop-ups recently, usually a game, associated with Firefox, and don't want them. How do I stop them?

My details are in my question.

Rename each file to end in .rtf, and then open TextEdit. Save three new documents to your desktop with the same name as each file the Finder reports as being in use, and then overwrite the existing documents. Throw away the TextEdit files.

From few days, it takes more than 30-60 minutes to open Firefox. I am on Vista. I have tried to reset firefox & have uninstalled and installed it again.

Hi,
From few days, it takes more than 30-60 minutes to open Firefox on my laptop. I am on Vista & have got Anti Virus as well. I have already tried to reset firefox, have uninstalled and installed it again. My firefox version is 29. But nothing seems to help.
Can you please help in this regard, as I really do love using Firefox, but due to this issue, I am forced to use other browsers.
Thanks
Gaurav

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Help I have installed and reinstalled iTunes but it will not open. I get an error telling me that windows DEP will not allow the program to run and i can not shut the DEP off for the program. i need to reset my ipod touch and cant cause of this.

I have tried to shut off the DEP for the program but it is not allowed. I can't get to any of my music on my computer because of this. I use windows vista and was able to use ITunes until the upgrade to 10.2. now i can't even open the program and it is getting me very upset. Please someone help me.

Many thanks.
That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Hello,
I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard? I tried to do it by my original CDs but macbook pro didn't let me to do it.
Thanks

It would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.
