I have set up my firefox shortcut to go directly to the profile manager. I have had it that way for years. All the sudden it has stopped working

Hi,
I cannot get my firefox shortcuts to go directly to the profile manager anymore. I don't know why. I know I have set the target up correctly in properties but it still will not go to the profile manger. Please help.
Here is what is in the target location in properties:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -profilemanger

Glad all is working again.
If you have not come across this problem in two years maybe you just do not set Firefox as the Sytem's default browser. If so no need to read any further.
Just be aware that in some circumstances you will run into problems with the way you appear to have done this. If you try to take an action that opens Firefox indirectly it may fail.
The action you are trying to avoid, opening another window of the existing Firefox is sometimes essential.
If you try to use a hyperlink or an HTML file your Windows Vista OS will normally try to use your default browser. That may well be Firefox. If that is the case and Firefox tries to open with -no-remote it will fail if the profile is in use. (Or warn you then automatically close down the already running profile )
I will quote from another help article
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Opening_a_new_instance_of_your_Mozilla_application_with_another_profile <blockquote>'''Important:''' Never use -no-remote to start the "default" profile (the one that is set to open without asking when you launch Firefox). That's because when you launch Firefox, for example, by clicking a link in your mail program, you will get a [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use Firefox is already running but is not responding message] if the default profile is already in use. The solution is to always start the default profile normally and launch all others with -no-remote. Then it will work.</blockquote>

So i have had an itunes account for forever. all of my musoc has been pusharchsed and is now saying that they can not be located. i have well over hundreds of songs help please

all my music is gone. i have h8jndreds of songs that now say "they cannot be loctaed" this is bull crap

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Problem with iTunes. I have Windows 8 on a new laptop. Installed latest version of iTunes. Can play music in My Library but when I click on Itunes Store I get the message "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

I have a new laptop with Windows 8 as operating system. Installed latest version of iTunes ontop computer. I can play music in My Library but when I click on iTunes, I get the message " iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

Anyone know what is the cause and if there is a resolution? Have tried to re-installing iTunes and have also tried restoring laptop to an earlier date.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Over the past few months firefox has been crashing unexpectedly but just today it crashed and will not reopen even after shutting down and restarting my laptop. The message that appears when I start my laptop and again when I try to open firefox is "rnpag has stopped working" this is then followed by the message "firefox has stopped working" when I request a solution to the problem nothing happens.

You don't have "Photoshop" proper. You have a cheapo emasculated version called Photoshop Elements. That is NOT Photoshop.
As Gene told you:
Unfortunately, you're in the wrong forum. This is not the Elements forum.

I have a POP account set up in Mail, has been that way for years. Today it isn't working.

I have a POP email account that's been set up in Mail for years. Today it won't send or retrieve email, continually asks for my password but doesn't keep it. My iCloud email is fine. According to an Apple Support document, "Mail: Troubleshooting sending & receiving email" (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276), it appears as if it's a problem with my email provider. I've spoken to the email provider and they say it's not a problem on their end. I can log into my email account using the provider's webmail and all is fine there. And, since I'm still receiving my email on my iPad & iPhone, I'm not entirely convinced it is a problem with the email provider.
When I go into Mail Preferences, my password shows blank (even when I re-enter it) and it shows my Outgoing Mail Server as Offline. When I choose Edit SMTP server list and click on the Advanced tab, my password is missing here as well. Re-entering it doesn't help.
I've tried Take All Accounts Offline then Take All Accounts Online and that doesn't work. I would delete the account and set it up again, but I get a warning message that if I delete the account, I lose everything in the account; folders, email, filters, etc. I can't afford to lose the existing emails.
I'm using Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and Mail 6.2; I believe they are both the most recent versions.

I checked the settings with Network Solutions and they are correct. As to archiving, is it possible to turn everything into one big archive or does each folder and subfolder need to be archived individually? I've looked at the documentation and I get the impression that everything is archived separately. Also I couldn't find a mention as to whether it's possible to archive or some how save all of my filters.
I use Time Machine as my general backup. I back up all the Mail files every couple weeks (on a flash drive) but now I've learned, the hard way, that's not often enough.
Thank you.

I use the SCC mediaserver in my work, and the crop function has stopped working on Firefox, although it works on Internet Explorer, and I'm wondering if a recent upgrade caused that problem.

I am a newspaper copy editor and use Firefox to work from home. I use the SCC mediaserver to crop photos and place them in the JazBox system, which includes Adobe InCopy and InDesign. For some reason, the crop function is not working on the SCC when I go on it in Firefox, although it's working in Internet Explorer, which is much slower. I didn't have this problem until I installed a Firefox update today. What can I do?

Try to update to Firefox 8.0.1

Hi for some reason my Airport Express has stopped working. It just glows Amber and occasionally flashes green but goes back to amber. AU can't see it. I have a macbook and want to connect via my existing wifi to stream music, can someone help please!

Hi, title says it all. I have been doing this for years and don't know what has changed.....
Reset doesn't seem to work, this includes factory! Please help.

It certainly would not hurt to let the folks at the Apple store take a look to verify things. If the product is less than a year old, or you have AppleCare on one of your Mac, the Express may qualify for free replacement.
The Apple Store may also some some refurbished Express devices on hand at a discount if you need to buy, or they can direct you to the Apple online store for the same thing.

The scroll feature has stopped working on my laptop touchpad in Mozilla Firefox but not Internet Explorer.

The scroll feature was working well on my laptop touchpad but has ceased to work in Firefox. It continues to work well in Internet Explorer. Help!

Its due to the adobe reader add on. I removed adobe reader and installed foxit reader. Now everything seems perfect. My laptop model is model is Acer Aspire 5820 TG and I use synaptics driver.
Solution: (Courtesy - iuliand)
If you have issues with touch-pad scrolling in FF4 do this:
1) disable Adobe Acrobat add-on and test if it works, otherwise
2) install the latest touch-pad driver.
Hope this will help others.
Edit:
If the above does not work, temporarily disable all add-ons in order to check if there is another one that may cause this.
Also, make sure you update to the latest touch-pad driver from the touch-pad manufacturer site (very easy to do if you have a Synaptics). Most of the time drivers from notebook manufacturer support site are NOT up to date.
Keep in mind that you may need to do both things (disable acrobat AND install latest driver). Both are possible causes and may occur at the same time, as it was in my case.
Edit 2:
If you have an ALPS touch-pad and none of the above works, check dog425's post below in this topic. He pointed out a solution found in this thread: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/791829#answer-163071
