I spent half the morning and thus far this afternoon working on a Firefox problem and have only managed to screw it up so bad that when I try to access a web page containing a .pdf file it not only downloads the brochure but also dozens (literally dozens!) of zero-killabyte page images to my desktop. I have tried trashing Firefox and downloading fresh versions but I still get the same results. I have tried to find and trash the Foxfire preference pane, thinking that would solve the problem, but haven't been able to locate it.

You have Acrobat Pro on your system. It will try to open PDFs, and of course it will fail. You must uninstall it. Then, you will need a PDF reader. So install Adobe Reader. That seems quite simple, but perhaps something is wrong. If anything goes wrong with these two steps (1) uninstall Acrobat Pro (2) install Adobe Reader, then please let us know the details.

I have lost the URL box on the top of the page and I can't seem to get it back -- I don't want to reset everything -- only return the URL box on the top -- how can I do that?

I am not sure what to add -- how can I return the URL address box on the top of the page ... along with the buttons to go to the previous page has disappeared and I can't make them come back ...

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

Whenever Firefox is open I have a line on top saying "Downloading the latest application" It seems to be costantly running and slowing down my computer. How do I get it to stop?

It happens all the time. On the line below Yahoo toolbar.

The "Downloading the latest applications" problem can be caused by the MSN® Toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins)

How do I get firefox to open a pdf in adobe instead of the new pdf reader?

Before the recent update, 19.0, I would google something and see [PDF] next to a link. I click the middle mouse button to open it in a new tab. Firefox would download the file and open it with Adobe Reader. I like this.
With the new update 19.0, the pdf file would be opened in the new tab. I have to go and down load it and then open it in Adobe. I don't like this.
I go into preferences under applications. I look to see if I can change this. Next to Adobe Reader document, I choose Use Adobe Reader, but when I click on a [PDF] link, it still opens the file in Firefox and not Adobe.
I want it back to the way it was.

You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer and use the Adobe Reader instead.

I am trying to get Firefox to open Vuze when I click on a magnet link, I get the following message: Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (magnet) isn't associated with any programme. tell me the solution

when i try to open torrent using magnet, I get the following message. Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (magnet) isn't association to any programme.

'''I had this problem and just re-installed Firefox. Problem solved. In my case I believe it was due to installing FlashGet. Though I uninstalled FlashGet, it had pre-empted the Magnet links / protocol. I hope this helps you with your instance. Happily I had the installer for my version of Firefox (7.0.1) saved and used that but you might need to search for your current version or install a later version'''

HT1711 I backed up my iphone5 in the morning and later again on the same day, in the afternoon. I then restored an older backup from the morning. Now all my music files refuse to play even though they still appear on iphone. How can I resolve this?

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

When I sign in to the Adobe Reader XI (which is the only option that I have to open a pdf document, I will sign in to the Adobe ID sign-in page. After I do this, the "Convert To" box goes "gray" and I am unable to convert the document I have selected. It was working great for the first week that I used it, but now it doesn't give me the converting option. I am very frustrated as I have done nothing to change anything, and I was thinking this was so great...now I am just pulling out my hair and do not have the option of calling anyone since no phone numbers are listed. I am VERY busy and do not have time to sit and wait over a half an hour to "chat", which I tried to do yesterday. All I want to do is very simply, convert pdfs to Word. I have paid for this and am not getting any help. I am not very savvy when it comes to Adobe this program and Adobe that program...I feel I am being scammed as I do not get simple answers for something that appeared was going to be simple. You can't even call customer service to talk to someone live to help walk you through.

Hello Kathie,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
Let me know if this converts fine.
Hope to hear from you.
regards,
Anubha

I wonder if another provider would really be much different? Read some of the other carrier forums - seems to be the same story everywhere.
I'm not disagreeing with you - I've found that I am usually more informed about Verizon policies and procedures than some of the reps in our local store.

How to see themes on full page of firefox like chrome and not only on the top bar

how to see themes on full page of firefox like chrome and not only on the top bar

Personas or Lightweight Themes are the ones that just put a background on the toolbars.
You can look for the real (original style) themes here:
: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/themes/
:and you should be able to easily identify them by their pictures. I would suggest that you pick a theme that is identified under the version information to also run in Firefox 8, so you will be able to continue when you upgrade to 6.0.2 and above.
I am on 6.0.2 and I would be shown 450 themes.
Another method is to install a style using the "Stylish" extension, specifically a global style is what you are interested in. There are 3,697 global styles which is one [http://userstyles.org/categories category] of styles. Styles are not programs but you can put up a background picture of your choosing or color areas. But instead of hundreds to choose from you have thousands and they are mostly variations of another style. One advantage of a style is that you can modify a style to suit yourself with little or no programming experience.

This can be the result of selecting the wrong driver. An older, unsupported laser printer will sometimes work with the generic Postscript driver.

Hello I want to say that apple iphone 5 even has problems with battery consumption. Charge my phone in the morning and sometimes I do not get to the full day. If they could fix this problem I would appreciate. I hope answers.

Hello!
I recently just downloaded the 'Waze' app as a backup for my Garmin. I've read a few reviews that seem to rant and rave about how good the GPS app is. It is community driven and maps are constantly being updated by users. Plus it has a few other fun stuff in it (something similar to Gasbuddy where you can owe prices on the map). But like the person above me said, there is lots of useful free GPS apps in the App Store.
Oh and I may be wrong but I remember reading an article about Google being slower about updating its maps system--ie no turn by turn voice, which many people have had complaints about.
Happy Searching!
Ps - if you switch I wouldn't go to Blackberry.

I spent half the morning and thus farI am trying to get Firefox to open a .pdf file but it not only downloads the file to my desktop but also dozens of zero-killabyte page images.
