I have updated to Firefox 6 on OS Vista; since then I can't play YouTube videos, operate Skype or Real Player. How do I fix the problem successfully?

YouTube videos seem to load for approximately a second before stopping... and then there is no progress at all. After upgrading to Firefox 6, I received a message saying that it is not compatible with Skype and Real Player (?) and that certain updates could therefore not be performed.
With all due respect, what good is it to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox if popular applications like YouTube and Skype can't operate anymore? I desperately need to solve the problem - if there is no solution other than 'downgrading' to a previous version of Firefox, which version would that be?
Thank you for your time and dedication in sourcing a solution in this regard.

Uninstall version 6, Google for a download site for version 5.1. Problem solved.

  • Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. how do i fix the problem

    Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. It use to allow me to open multiple windows before but for no apparent reason it stopped. I uninstalled it and re-installed but I'm having the same problem. How do I fix the problem
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == several days ago

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • I have iphone 5c.  Having email problem.  Does not delete emails showing in inbox from date 8/27 thru 9/23.   When deleted, these same emails repopulate in inbox.  What is going wrong?  How do I fix the problem?

    Ihave iphone5c.  Does not permanently delete emails showing in inbox.  When they are move to Trash then inbox at first shows empty.  However if you leave Mailbox and return then all the emails that were previously deleted and now repopulated in Inbox.  I have tried various things like marking them "read" before deleting, then moving them to Trash, and they still return.  What is going wrong and how do I fix the problem?

    What your describing sounds lot like Nortons anti virus, but other do it to.
    Multiple copies of the same email over and over are almost always anti virus incoming mail scanning. Turn off scanning and the problem goes away turn it back on and it resumes.
    My guess is that your filter issues, and search problems are also related to this uniquitous and most ignored security tool that messes up far more than it should..
    Deleting the index
    I assume you mean the global-messages-db.sqlite. if you don't close Thunderbird and delete it now. Searches will be incomplete until it rebuilds and the time to do that will have a lot to do with how much mail there is and how busy the computer is.
    Now create an exclusion in your anti virus program for the Thunderbird profile folders. My guess is it is trying to scan the files in your profile every time Thunderbird tries to open them and generally turning things into a tug of war, which Thunderbird looses as it just does not wait around if files are locked. It expects exclusive access to it's files immediately, not in 10 minutes when the anti virus has done it's thing. So things get added to the index but not removed. Mails don't move as the destination or source file is "in use" etc.

  • I have error code 2330 when i tried to download itunes 10.5, how do I fix the problem?

    I have error code 2330 when I tried to download itunes 10.5. Different sites I have visited give different solutions and most seem to indicate removing the current itunes program then reinstalling the new 10.5. I did try to remove the program but it took a long time and I had to reboot the computer. Has anyone had the same issue and how did they fix the problem?

    I was having this problem with my wife's computer today so I did a Check Disk from the command prompt. (start/run then type chkdsk) let it do its thing then restart windows and it does some other BS on the start up. Relaunch itunes and then retry to download. I went to the apple website and click on the download and saved the file to my desk top then ran it from there. Let me know if you have the same luck. -Mike

    Hi,
       This should only occur if this is a NEW computer or your first sync and you have information from another computer.
    Has this iPhone been synced with another computer before?
    Transferring Purchases; http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
    If you follow that link your Apps WILL be on your computer and any music you have brought......
    Now, do not worry, even if you do accidentally delete your apps, you can download them again for free with your itunes store account, just keep in mind you will lose any saved data!
    Follow this and hit continue, the only information that could get lost is any content (music, videos etc) synced from ANOTHER computer that WAS NOT brought from your account.
    Hope this helps and makes sense....

  • How do I fix the problems with the newest version of firefox

    I a having a major problem with the newest version of firefox and I am not happy with it. I did everything that I am supposed to do with the reset, but it is still not working correctly. It has a lot of no responses and freezing up problems.
    How do I fix this problem?

    You didn't provide any information about your Firefox setup. Can you do that and paste it in a new reply?
    *Navigate to <code>about:support</code> via Address Bar
    *Click the button that says <code>Copy text to clipboard</code>
    *Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.
    Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox opens and works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:
    *'''Windows/Mac''': Hold the SHIFT/Option key while opening Firefox
    *'''Linux''': Run ''firefox -safe-mode'' in the Terminal/Konsole
    If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.

  • I keep getting a screen that says firefox exe has encountered and needs to close. If I restore the session I get the same message. These are sites I frequent regularly. How do I fix the problem and more to the point, what is the problem?

    This problem started when I reinstalled my operating system and reloaded my programs. Until this point I was having no problems.

    Looking to find the problem, I tried using safe mode to find a solution and found that in safe mode I did not encounter any error messages. I have no idea what is happening but I now can get to sites with no problem. Does any one know why?

  • TS3992 I have updated my iphone to ios6. Since then i am not able to backup my data to iCloud. While backing up an error occurs says the backup could not be completed.

    Plz suggest

    What worked for me was to:
    1. Go to "Settings" then "iCloud"
    2. Turn off everything that was turned on (mail, contacts, calendars, etc.) but leaving the data on my phone.
    3. Go to Storage & Backup, turn off iCloud Backup
    4. Go back to iCloud (back 1 page), turn everything that I wanted to back up, on.
    5. Turn iCloud Backup on, then pushed Back Up Now (making sure phone was plugged in, wifi picking up with all bars, & locked phone).
    When I checked my phone after about a minute, it was working.
    This worked on my phone, but can't get it to work on hubby's, but I haven't had great wifi connection with his when I've tried. I'll try again this evening and update then.
    Hope this helps.
