I sent this question several times but have not received an email so that I can confirm.

Here is the question:
Firefox freezes or closes with any version past 3.6! Have tried various suggestions from online support. I am using Windows XP Pro with all updates, Comcast, Norton Security Suite, V5.1.0.2 updated. The only add-on that seems to work with newer versions is NoScript. I miss Colorful Tabs and Expended Copy Menu. Both those add-ons will freeze Firefox now. Sees like Firefox is going backwards instead of improving.
I have gone into the registry, removed all Mozilla and Firefox entries and reinstalled 8.1. Didn't make any difference. Sometimes 8.1 will work for 3 or 4 sessions before freezing or not reloading. I then have to do a clean reinstall. I really, really don't want to go back and start using IE.
Is this an issue for anyone else or just my computer which is about a year old? Sure would appreciate any help.
Regards,
Paleo

Hi
Well I have tried installing 8.1 without any add-ons and it will open once or twice. Then it will not open. I just reinstalled 3.6 to make this post. I have no issues with 3.6 but Mozilla has posted that this version will soon stop being supported. I can use 8.1 in safe mode with bookmarks enabled but not in regular mode!
Thanks anyway for responding to my post.
Regards,
Paleo

  • Everytime I open firefox it says my user name and password are invalid, I tried resetting my password, but have not received the email with password details firefox claims to have sent - what do I do?

    Having tried to ask this question it didn't recognise my account, so have now created another one, with the same email address, just to ask this question, it doesn't make sense.

    * "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    * "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Have tried to reset password but have not received reset email after 2 days. Please help!

    Hi there fellow Apple-ites.
    Hoping you can help with this.
    After using my current Apple ID (new email address) for about a year for app store and iTunes, find my friends, iPhone (etc) and being able to log into iCloud, my new (this year) MBP has somehow reverted to my old ID (old email address, still same account). I just upgraded to Lion and now iCal tells me it can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with Apple ID, which is my old email address.
    I want to be able to log in under my old Apple ID to change it over to my current Apple ID, or somehow unlink from my old Apple ID.
    I can't remember the password because it's been ages since I've used it. I have tried to reset but I haven't received the reset emails in the last 2 days. I have checked spam and trash in all email addresses in case it is a different address to the one I thought. I have also checked that I don't have any filters that could delete the email.
    I tried the secret questions but I can't get past the birthdate page - says my info is incorrect! I have followed the links from the general support area and checked iCloud system status and everything is normal. I have noticed a lot of people have this problem but that it appears unresolved or they haven't written back on how it has been resolved.
    This problem seems too common to warrant a phone call or visit to an Apple store (there is no Apple store in my town either). Anyone have any ideas? I promise I'll respond when/if it resolves! By the way, I'm in Australia.
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for that advice @randers4.
    I linked through and submitted my info as a "topic not covered" in the iCloud section. After entering the serial number of my MBP it turns out I wasn't eligible for technical support (though I don't think this is hardware related support) and the final suggestion was to take my computer into an Apple store. I called my local Apple reseller and asked for assistance. The customer service rep was very nice but unable to help, so suggested I call Apple Support on 1300 321 456. I did so and, again, spoke to two very polite and helpful customer service people (I was transferred to security services). I didn't have to be on hold to speak to either rep for more than a few seconds! After trying a few different things, he worked out what was happening...
    So, to cut a long story short, to solve the problem in my OP, all I had to do was log out of iCloud in my System Preferences and log back in using my current Apple ID. [Edited to add that I had to sign out of everything I was currently signed in to with my Apple ID before logging out and in again.]
    Problem solved!

    hello, your user agent information shows that you're using a very outdated version of firefox (3.6.8), which is [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html affected by numerous known security vulnerabilities] & which will put the integrity of your system and all the personal data on it at risk!
    please check if you're still on firefox version 3.6.8 when you go to ''help > about firefox'' and if so please [[Update Firefox to the latest version]] immediately.

  • Posted this query several times but no reply. Please help me out

    Hi all,
    How to know whether a servlet had completely sent its response to the request.
    The problem what i am facing is, I send response to a client's request as a file.
    The byte by byte transfer happens, now if the client interrupts or cancels the operation, the response is not completed.
    At this stage how to know the response status. I am handling all exception, even then I am unable to trap the status.
    Please help me out.
    I have posted this query several times but no convincing reply till now. Hence please help me out.
    If somebody wants to see the code. I'll send it through mail.
    regards

    Hi,
    thanks for the reply,
    Please check the code what I have written. The servlet if I execute in Javawebserver2.0 I could trap the exception. If the same servlet is running in weblogic 6.0 I am unable to get the exception.
    Please note that I have maintained counter and all necessary exception handling even then unable to trap the exception.

  • TS3212 im trying to reinstall but will not allow, due to an error 7,  itunes helper not installed correctly,i have tried several times, but will not allow me to install, i have used itunes for years but now cant use it, can you help

    i have tried to reinstall itunes because it is saying i cant use my itunes due to an error 7, itunes helper not installed correctly, please reinstall, i have tried several times but still not allowing me to use, ive never had this problem before in all the years i have used itunes, i have gone through all the troubleshooting but still no access, can you help

    Many thanks.
    That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • I am trying to reset my security questions, but I have not received the email with instructions. What is the problem?

    I initially created my apple account years ago. I am trying to reset my security questions because my answers are continually incorrect. I pressed the link that sends reset security questions info to my alt. address, but I have not received the email with instructions. I have resent the email several times and checked both of the emails I have set up with my apple account to no avail. I have tried everything that is provided in the support article about the issue and my problem has not be resolved. I've even deleted my alt email from the apple account and then reassigned it and tried again, however, I still have not received the email. Without knowing the answers to my security questions, I cannot purchase anything from the iTunes store, which I have been trying to do.
    I do not know what the problem is and I am asking for any resolutions. Please and thank you!

    Go to the Apple ID Security site from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 or call the AppleCare support number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask to speak with the Account Security Team...either can help you reset your questions/answers.

    I can help you only with the placement of the icon placement -- if you right-mouse click on the toolbar, then select Customize Toolbar, you can move an icon to where you want it to be.

    If you've clicked the 'send reset info' link as described in step 5 on that page and you haven't received the email (how long ago was it and you've checked the spam folder as well as the inbox ?) then you could try clicking it again. If that doesn't arrive within the next couple of hours or so either then you could try contacting iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
