I ran avg today. Firefox no longer works. I tried your solution via avg interface didnt work I have avg 2012. Applications look different. I need omeone to wal

I ran avg 2012. Now Firefox does not work. Checked via support got a download on going to AVG firewall and trying to delete then add then click ... button. It then says go to firefox installation directory(where is that) go to Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ then select firefox.exe. etc. This is where I stopped.
firewall said firefox allowed. Being a nullgeek I stopped cause I dont want to cause any more damage. I also tried uploading newest version of Firefox and that resolved nothing.
I am currently using Internet Explorer.
I need to be walked thru this.

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.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
*(32 bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
*(64 bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 18.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

HT1338 I just uploaded an update to Mountain Lion today mail no longer works

I just uploaded an update to Mountain Lion today mail no longer works.

After I ran theupdate yesterday I got a message that the update did not complete. When I tried to run mail I got a error message that mail could not run. When I rebooted and tried mail again I got the same error. I tried to load the last mail update from the apple store, but could not run it because it was unsigned.

Hello vinaysingh, check if your Internet security software (including firewalls, antivirus programs, anti-spyware programs, and more) preventing Firefox from connecting to the Internet.

Hi DoesFirefoxRespond,
Thank you for your questions. I understand that there is an issue with accessing some bank sites. If you have already disabled Firefox add ons and have still experienced the same issue, please try the following:

My iphone is no longer working I have black screen with a picture of the itunes logo and a USB cable. When I try to connect my iphone to itunes the device is not detected, can anyone help me? I desperatley need my phone back

I have had a 3GS for 2+ years. After upgrading to IOS 4 (now 4.3.5) I began having problems. In the past week, my screen went to the itunes logo and USB cable twice -- unprovoked -- just found it sitting there like that! I connected to itunes and it did restore from a backup but it is a major inconvenience. I am also searching for answers, but better back-up regularly!

After the last update iTunes no longer works... "This application failed to start because MSVCF80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem" I tried and it did not fix the problem?

When I click onto the firefox webbrowser, I get the message "firefox has stopped working, windows will close the application to find a solution to the problem " This has been going on for several days, I've had to go back IE to access web pages

When I click onto the firefox webbrowser, I get the message "firefox has stopped working, windows will close the application to find a solution to the problem."

I had this exact same problem. I found this fix and it worked for me.
Step 1:
Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll.
Step 2:
Browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
Hope this helps you. I wish I could remember where I saw this originally so I could thank them.
Good Luck.
Anthony

I need an application that will turn off my iPhone on the home screen just by a one click since my power button has sank and is no longer working--anyone have ideas?? I don't like having to use assistive touch and hit three buttons to lock my screen

No such app exisits or can exist. Apple doesn't allow 3rd party apps to access core functions of the phone. Time to get your phone replaced or repaired if assistive touch doesn't needs your needs.

Since installing Flash update today, Flash no longer works on FireFox (works fine on IE)

As prompted, Adobe Flash update was installed today. Since installing , Flash no longer works with FireFox (works ok with IE);

Hi guys - for me this helped.
Close Firefox - open Internet Explorer - got to the Adobe Flash Player Site:
http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/
In IE you can see there is the 64-bit version - (in Firefox there was just the 32-bit version) - got to: (others)
http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/otherversions/
choose your system and version
download it via internet explorer and install the adobe flash player
restart firefox and it should work.
helped me after wasting one day of my life to find a solution, alle sites work just fine now.
hope this helps.

Firefox no longer working with Multibox

http://www.liamsmart.co.uk/Downloads/multiBox/ used to work with Firefox. I last tested it successfully about September 2012, with whatever the current version of Firefox was.
I tested it tonight, with 21.0 and it was not working.
It works with current versions of IE and Opera.
I reinstalled Firefox version 20.0 and that does not work either.
I had Firefox version 12.0 on a laptop and it was working tonight.
I upgraded the laptop version to 21.0 and it no longer works.

Firefox no longer working with Mac OSX 10.4.11

i'm using Mac OSX 10.4.11 and Firefox 3.6.12. As i understand it any of ur upgrades no longer work with this computer system. ( I tried to upgrade last week and ur site said upgrades no available gfor my platform version. Last week every time i conducted a search (default Google) i was redirected to http://search.creativecommons.org/?q=crossword+puzzles&sourceid=Mozilla-search.what gives? Have I been hijacked? also sites that I use daily are clipped and entire pages are smaller than usual . see www.shockwave.com
If u are no longer supporting Mac users, please let us know in advance or at least post it on ur site. Can no longer use Firefox...

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Cmd+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
If you open about:crashes, you should get links to online crash reports. You could post some of the crash IDs for review by volunteers here.
Given the timing, another issue might be some ads or media in the page. There are some add-ons to block such things...

Firefox no longer works for many Banks

The whole point of Firefox was that it was customizable.
Now it doesn't work. It doesn't even work on your own pages.
I may as well use AppleSafari or switch to Chrome or Opera.
I hate having to waste my time customizing Chrome, but will seriously consider doing it.
I don't have time to try to get Firefox to work on Bank of America and Citibank. It does work for my Wells Fargo account.
Google Search also works: https://www.google.com/search?q=Firefox+30+has+become+unusable.&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=fflb
and there are a score of hits.
I echo http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=184258 that FF eats up %CPU
I am sure that one of my favorite add-ons is the problem or that it is one of the security and privacy items that I use. When I was younger I had time and energy to step thru all the add-ons one by one and see which one did not for; now I don't. NightlyTester (add-on) used to provide me with a list of add-ons. Now it doesn't or doesn't under the current regime of Firefox, so, again, a laborious process of listing.
One other issue relating to upgrades and old add-ons. I used to have a long horizontal list of favorite bookmarks, possibly abbreviated to favicons, With the tabs below that were currently open, and the name of the browser on top (because of multiple gmail or facebook accts, I use several browsers.) What focus group did you use to put me back in the unfamiliar territory of the sharp edge of a learning curve? (Yes, ofc, I used Classic Theme Restorer to put things right.)

Evernote clipper for Firefox no longer works

Since Firefox 18.0 or 18.0.1 (current) on the Mac, the Evernote clipper no longer works, either the 5.4.1 regular version or the 5.5 beta. The dropdown begins to appear but with only the circular progress indicator, which spins forever. The clipper works in Chrome.
I've emptied the cache, removed all Evernote cookies, and reinstalled the clipper a couple of times. No luck. I'm about to migrate to Chrome as my primary browser, but would prefer to stick with Firefox if I can get this fixed. Mac OS: 1.8.2. Clipping to the web version of Evernote.

Please contact evernote: http://evernote.com/contact/support/

Why does Firefox no longer work with Slate or AIM?

1. On Slate.com I allow all scripts to run; however, even though most links on the pages work, I can no longer view comments in articles -- the function to open the comments simply does not work.
2. When I load the standalone desktop AIM program, until Firefox 37 I was able to click the mail icon and go directly to my AOL mail; this no longer works, but instead logs me out of AOL and I have to log in again.
I don't know if these are related, but both appeared when I allowed an upgrade to version 37.
