I have Windows 7 Professional; Firefox stopped working; click on the icon and the circle spins; can't get into Firefox at all, even in safe mode. Please help.

Windows 7 Professional
Windows Security Essentials
I clicked on the Firefox icon. The cursor changed from an arrow to a spinning wheel. Nothing happened. It stayed that way for 20 minutes until I went into the task manager and shut the program down.
I'm forced to use Internet Explorer and it's awful. Please help me.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that 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.

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Even after turning ON Reduce motion the icons and the windows and the apps zoom motion in and out is still giving me a lot of head ache and dizziness and motion sickness... Please fix it!!

When you add a WiFi you can't get into any websites??? But if you turn WiFi off you can access websites?
You can access websites without WiFi? Do you have a 3G/4G iPad?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have an incomplete back up in my iCloud with pics and vids in it can I get them back

I have an incomplete back up in my iCloud with pics and vids in it can I get them back

You have to do a full restore to your device to get things from iCloud. You can't pick and choose.
In addition, from what I've read, you can't get anything back to the camera roll, if that's where you stored some of your files. The camera roll is temporary storage untill you sync photos and videos to your computer. If you used Photo Stream, then iCloud syncs new pictures from your iPhone to all other devices that are set to sync Photo Stream. But there's a limit to how many pictures per month (I think 1000) and iCloud saves photos for 30 days, so the other devices have time to sync to get the photos. But there's no way to get them out of iCloud in Photo Stream in case you lost all the pictures on your devices.

Sophos stopped working message, greyed out icon and On-Access Scanning disabled

Hi, I've started to get an error message from Sophos saying that Sophos has stopped working, the icon in the menu bar is greyed out and the On-Access Scanner is diasbled. I've opened preferences to turn the scanner back on but just get "stopping". I've uninstalled Sophos and re-installed as this issue has occured a number of times. OSX 10.10.4 and SAV 9.2.7

Hi DJJD,
Sorry, I started a reply yesterday but I just noticed now I didn't actually post it.
The first thing I wonder is, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling? It sounds like your install is pretty broken, so that will likely be your fastest fix. To do that, follow the steps below:
1. Browse to this page and download a new copy of the installer (Click "Get Started" and follow the prompts)
2. Use the "Remove Sophos Antivirus" app to uninstall. You will find this in finder under Applications > Remove Sophos Antivirus
3. Restart your Mac 4. Double-click the install app you downloaded in step 1 (The file is called savosx_he_r)
5. Follow the on-screen prompts until the install is complete
Hopefully that will get you back up and running, but if you have any questions don't hesitate to let us know!

I need to get into my old account and get my addresses and then cancel the old account but can not get into it. Had to change my user name when I moved and now I can't get into Firefox. Can't remember the old password. What to do??

I moved during the summer. I changed to highspeedand & when I set my computer up it told me that my email address was already in use so I had to change it(????) I changed from jkady to [email protected] I tried to change it on firefox but it would not except the new name and I could not get into my old account.I need all my addresses and would like to cancel the old account but I can not get into it. This is very frustrating!!!!! I need my addresses!!!!!!!!

I logged in changed the primary E-Mail address to a different one, vertified it then tried to log in it said either to send an E-Mail to veritify again or to do my security questions, so I choose to do the security questions and put in my Birthday like it asked and it said that it was wrong and I had to authenticate it to get in, why is it so hard to just set up a Apple ID really though!
So I tried the E-Mail to and it has not sent me an E-Mail then I tried to log in again and it has locked me out of my account so I try to recover my password and it gave me the same options to get my password back and both options are doing the same as before, it says I don't know my on birth date or it is wrong or needs authenticate it, then the E-Mail doesn't come through!
This is just stupid now.

Firefox stopped working so i re installed and now i have even more problems

okay once again ff stopped working so i did what i was told to do the last time Etc download the newest version and save it and then go into program files and find the mozilla firefox file and delete it and then go back to the saved firefox download and continue the download. here is the prblem with that. after i click on the file to download it ask if i want to run this program and i say yes and then it goes to a menu that says its downloading the files and that firfox will start after but nothing happens. i mean i let the stupid thing run for ever and nothing happens. now i was stupid and i went into programs and uninstalled firefox so now i cannot even do anything. in my start mene wheni click on firefox it says not found because i deleted it. i am being forced to use internet explorer and i hate it. also i admit i am computer stupid so please be kind when u tell me what i have to do to fix this problem. i do not know why all of a sudden after years of using firefox i am starting to have problems with it. please someone help me get my firefox back. my operating system is windows vista

no luck i cannot get anything out of firefox. it just looks like it going to lunch but then even that stops after a few seconds. anything else i can do? should i try to go into programs and uninstall it and then reinstall it again?
another problem i just found (like i need anymore) a solution that someone gave me when i had problems lunching fireforx a while ago was to download the latest version of firefox and save it. then i had to go into my program files and find the file mozilla/firefox and delete it and then find the firefox i saved and finish the download which fixed whatever problem was causing the firefox to not lunch. now when i tried to do the same i cannot. the file that has mozilla firefox in it when i try to delete won't let me it says i have to have premission. so i go into the properties and see the permissions it list it as CREATOR OWNER but it only has permission to do certain thing in the folder like subfolers etc so therefore i cannot delete it. when i try to delete the creator owner or even change the premissions for it it won't let me. i do not even know where this creator owner came from. i am the only one that has use of my computer. like i said i am not very computer smart so any help u can give me please make sure they are detailed. i appreicate all u have done so far. i just want my firefox back.

I have downloaded over 100 books from apple on my I Pad1. Now I can not get into the store because the iBook stops working

I buy books to read when I need quiet time but it seem that the I Book store is not working and every time I try it shuts itself down, maybe apple might know what is wrong with this app or I will have to stop trying to buy books and go to Amazon for my books.i have over a hundred books and I like to buy books when I see a book in stores and like to download them to my I Pad which goes with me everywhere. Can someone fix this problem or I will have to get a Nexsus 10 and a kindle fire for my books.

Since you didn't really provide specific details as to exactly what is happening with the iBooks app, you can go thought these troubleshooting steps and see if any of them work for you.

Sometimes it is as simple as restarting your iPad or closing the app and rebooting/resetting the iPad. If nothing works from the troubleshooting article, post back with some details.

After the upgrade it's impossibille to use search engines, everytime firefox stops working/reacting. What could be the problem?

Als ik gebruik maak van een zoekmachine, krijg ik wel de resultaten, maar is het niet mogelijk om een pagina te openen. Firefox reageert dan niet meer. Het maakt niet uit welke zoekmachine, bij iedere gebeurt dit. Dit is direct na de upgrade begonnen. Via een andere webbrowser is het wel mogelijk om door te klikken. Wat kan hiervan de oorzaak zijn?

You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

Headphones stop working after a certain time and the notification for sound change has disappeared

HP Pavilion dv6-6176sa
Win7 64bit.
I have a Pavilion dv6, and occasionally no sound will go through headphones when the jack is plugged in. The headphones themselves are not at fault, they are brand new and work fine.
When the headphones are plugged in, the sound will only go through the laptop speakers. I've tried updating the drivers, fiddling with the jack and socket (as I read on google), the only resolution I have found is to restart the comp, which is a bit of a pisstake in all fairness and I'd rather not do that every time it happens.
5 minutes ago I was watching a TV show, listening through the headphones, when I pulled out my USB mouse (and accidentally the charger with it). The sound then switched from the headphones to the speaker.
If I open the sound settings, it will display the headphones as being plugged in, but the sound indicator bar (thingy) will only rise and fall on the speaker icon bar.
Currently I have the audio jack pulled out about a centimetre, this allows sound through the headphones, but the sound is noticeably different to what it should be.
I had rolled it back to "High Definition Audio Device", then reinstalled it to the most current driver. This hasn't fixed it.
Also, this may be a related issue: (I guess) around the same time, the beats audio notification that pops up on screen when the volume is changed has disappeared and doesn't display when the volume has changed.
In microsoft sound control panel, it has the default speakers and the headphone logo, when i plug in the jack, a green phone circle thing appears by the headphone option, meaning it works i guess. However, the description changes from "ready" to "default communications device" and nothing changes for the regular speaker device.
When I go to >configure, and test each (L/R) speaker, if the headphones are plugged in, the noise is louder then when they're not plugged it
But yeah, brand new headphones, brand new laptop, it's mad. What's madder is that the headphones will work for x amount of time, then stop working when I next try to use them...

bump...

I have Windows 7 Professional; Firefox stopped working; click on the icon and the circle spins; can't get into Firefox at all, even in safe mode. Please help.
