I have google in my menu bar but all I get is a message error

I am running the latest Firefox under XP with all its updates and have Google search in my menu bar, if I ask it anything a message comes "Secure Connection Failed" along with a reference (error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long).
I have a homepage of Madasafish which has a google search box which works OK.
Any ideas please from David

You can check the connection settings.

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

    i have tried to restore my iphone 3 but all i get is error 1015

    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

  • I have purchased and downloaded Acrobat XI, but I keep getting "trial expired" message

    I did the free trial, and at the end of the trial I decided to purchase. I paid for and downloaded Acrobat XI for students. Now I am trying to open a document, and I keep getting a message that says that my trial has expired and I need to buy the software. I can't find an icon or anything in the "start" menu that doesn't do the exact same thing. I can't even open the program. Help!

    Don't you get the option to enter your serial number?  That should get you out of the trial mode.

  • My iPhoto app says unable to open.  I have 10.7.4 OS and the iPhoto version is 9.2.3  I have tried updating and reinstalling app but I still get the same message

    I updated everything and triedn reinstalling the iphoto app and I still get the message "iphoto can not open due to a problem".  The message says that there may be compatiblilty issues with OS and Iphoto.  I updated everything like it suggested and still doesn't work.  Any suggestions?  I'm making an appointment at Apple store to see if they can fix the issue....I was hoping to do it on my own....

    Did you delete the receipts before re-installing?

    You can't. It's now integrated with the URL bar. It's a search/URL combo.

  • Hi, my Hotmail and icloud mailboxes have disappeared underneath the menu bar. If I drag the screen down I can see them but they pop back up wheb I try to click on them.  How do I fix this?

    My mailboxes have disappered under the menu bar at the top of the screen.  Ican see them if I drag the screen down but they pop back up when I try to click on them.  How can I drag them down below the menu bar?

    Well, in the end I contacted Apple and it was rather hit and miss but the problem was solved by deleteing the com.apple.mail.savedState file.  It took them a bit of time to sort it out and I had to be promoted up the chain of support but it worked.  Hope this is of use to others with the same problem,

    Your Firefox and plug-ins are outdated and introducing security risks to you which can be a reason for unwanted popups. Outdated software can allow malicious people on the internet to take control of your machine without you knowing. Download a new version of Firefox. Uninstall the old version, then install the new version.
    After updating Firefox, to update your plug-ins, go to:
    https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    and find the ones to be updated, then update them.
    Safe browsing requires vigilance, and this includes making sure you have programs installed on your computer to protect you online, and that they are regularly updated.
    Steps to take:
    <br /><br />
    *Updating everything can be time-consuming, and if you're not sure what to do, use a program like Secunia's [https://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/ Personal Software Inspector (PSI)] to help automate the process of updating all software on your computer.
    *Make sure Windows Update is turned on and set to automatic.
    *Always run antivirus software -- there are many free programs from vendors like Avast, AVG, TrendMicro, etc.
    *Make sure your Windows firewall is on (if you are not using a replacement firewall, if so, keep that one up to date).
    *Make sure your browsers are the latest versions.
    Once you get everything up-to-date, then install a couple of helpful add-ons to your new Firefox installation:
    <br /><br />
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ Adblock Plus] will help block unwanted advertisements.
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/ NoScript] will only turn on scripting (automated web-page actions) for websites that you trust.
    After you've updated everything and have your new add-ons installed, you'll be safer on the web and should not be bombarded by adverts.

  • We have the latest version of firefox and have downloaded gamers unit snag bar, but cannot get it to show up as a toolbar or on it. How do we resolve?

    We have the latest version of firefox. downloaded gamers unit snag bar, but we cannot get it up as a toolbar or on toolbar. It shows under add-ons under the firefox drop down but does not reflect under toolbar bookmarks. how do we resolve?

    Sorry about the late reply :(
    # Right click on the tab bar, and a menu will appear.
    # Click on an item to show/hide it.

  • Can you have more than 1 menu bar on a page?

    I would like to create some pages that have a primary Spry
    menu bar for the public area of our site, but also a secondary spry
    menu bar that is only visible in our Members Only area. Both would
    need to be visible and operational when members are on our Members
    Only pages. I would like the styling of the two menu bars to be
    slightly different as well.
    Is this possible using the Spry widgets in CS3? I haven't
    tried it yet, but don't want to waste a bunch of time if it's not
    possible.
    Thanks!

    I haven't used a menu bar yet, but for other widgets, they
    are given an ID. When you add a second widget it gives that one a
    different uniaue ID. Therefore, you can have as many as you want.
    Your problem witll be in the styling. I made a page with 2
    tabbed panels. The first was panel1 by default the second was
    panel2. I did a save as of the panel1.css file to panel2.css. In
    the panel2.css I added the number 2 behind each css rule. I also
    added a 2 behind each class and ID name in the panel2 code on the
    page.
    Now you will have independent styles for each and you can
    make each as different as you wish.

    I cannot log onto the App Store, the page appears when I call it from the dock or the Apple menu and I can call the log-in box from the menu bar, but on signing in the spinning icon just keeps spinning,(not the beachball).  Using 10.6.7 and up-to-date on all software. Any suggestions?

    Could be a third party app preventing you from being able to login.
    Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text
    If it's not a third party issue, follow the instructions here.
    Quit the MAS if it's open.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left then open the Library folder then the Caches folder.
    Move the com.apple.appstore and the com.apple.storeagent files from the Caches folder to the Trash
    From the same Library folder open the Preferences folder.
    Move these files Preferences folder to the Trash: com.apple.appstore.plist and com.apple.storeagent.plist
    Same Library folder open the Cookies folder. Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the MAS.

  • Creative Cloud installs and appears in my menu bar, but will not truly "open".

    I'm on OSX 10.9.3 . Creative Cloud downloads, installs, and appears in my menu bar, but will not truly "open". I only see the spinning symbol (the Adobe one, not the Apple beach ball). I never even get a chance to log in and download anything. I've tried on three different Macs with the same result. All three meet the system requirements for CC. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

    Sorry, it didn't work for me. I closed the application (it hung the first time I tried and I had to restart the Mac to get rid of the window), and deleted the recommended file. When I tried to re-open the app, I got this:
    I never got the opportunity to log in, either before or after the attempted fix.

  • FCP effects won't unpack from files. Can access them from menu bar but on effects tab

    FCP effects won't unpack from files. Can access them from menu bar but on effects tab

    I think you meant but "not" on effects tab. Were you able to before? Try trashing your preference files. you can do this by hand or use the free program, Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion.

  • Random launchers have appeared in my menu bar

    As shown here: http://i.imgur.com/hsdXmnS.png?1 Launchers for Notepad, Total Commander, UltraCompare, UltraEdit and Freegate have appeared in my menu bar overnight. I didn't install any new plugins or extensions, and I haven't altered any of my existing ones, so this is a complete mystery to me. How can I get rid of these? Thanks.

    This solved it for me too. Thank you!
    Tips for the confused:
    1. In the address bar, type "about:config"
    2. Then in the config search box, type "notepad".
    3. In the short list, double-click each "blah blah...'''tabutils'''..." line that has "'''boolean'''" (under the middle "Type" column). You will see its right "Value" column change from "True" to "False". Viola, the icon above disappears!
    4. Now in the config search box, do the same for "ultra" and "totalcommander".
    (Please note that Freegate is actually UltraSurf and thus will show up with UltraEdit and UltraCompare when you search simply for "ultra". Make sense?)
