  • How do I find my bookmarks and tagged pages? I update to newest Firefox and now they are gone- it looks like a completely new Firefox. What do I do?

    I update to newest Firefox and now they are gone- it looks like a completely new Firefox. What do I do? There is nothing in my toolbar, or history, or bookmarks. I have also none of my old slides or whatever they are called when I open a new tab. HELP!

    You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Just updated to the latest Firefox and now my MSN email will not function. I can see the titles as normal but cannot open individual emails

    Just updated Firefox. Now I cannot open msn emails. Email titles appear as normal but will not open.

    Hello ebarrow
    If there is an issue with update or permissions the better, quickest and safest way is to download and install firefox:
    1. Download with your safari a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    2. '''''Trash''''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
    3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
    Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

    This report also contains technical information about the state of the application when it crashed.

    I haven't yet tried the safe mode but I can.
    I did the Windows update in the earlier reply and there were some updates. Those were installed and the computer restarted.
    I have had Flash player crashes for some time. In my Plug-in Add-ons, I have two versions of Flash player, the newest one and an older 15 one. I have the older one set to never activate. The problem is the new one also keeps going disabled.
    When I have tried to just update the Flash Player, I am never able to exit Firefox. I try closing the tabs and going to the Exit icon. It will keep telling me Firefox is not closed and it can't continue.
    I tried to Uninstall the flash player in that program, and it is the same thing. It will not uninstall with Firefox open and nothing I try will allow it.
    It is interesting that I tried to import my bookmarks to IE since this problem and it doesn't even recognize there being a Firefox browser.
    Please tell me step-by-step how to do the two other suggestions in the earlier reply. These are regarding the Flash player.
    Firefox is still crashing.
    Thanks,
    Karen

  • I recently updated to latest iTunes and now my pc freezes.  I have a Tosiba 32bit running Windows Vista. Itunes will no longer connect to the store and I get error 42408 when opening ITunes. Please help!!

    When I open iTunes I get the error message 42408.
    I have googled and tried various solutions including
    - uninstalling, downloading and reinstalling. I have done that about 5 times.
    - sending the desktop icon to the rubbish bin and recreating a shortcut.
    - de-authorising the audible account. My computer goes thru the de- authorisation process and says that the account is deauthorised then when I go to re-authorise under Advanced all that is showing is to de-authorise the account. Weird.
    - contacted a tech guy locally and he has no clue. He's thinking it's probably a conflicting software problem. Obviously.
    I have to uninstall the iTunes program just so I can use the internet as the new version slows/freezes everything and makes doing anything on my computer ridiculous.
    Everything on my computer runs fine when Itunes is uninstalled. Great. not.
    I would appreciate some further guidance as unfortunately iTunes seems to have complete control over my life. LOL! Basically if iTunes fails the rest follows... It's a dominoe effect...

    Update:
    I contacted Apple Support and they agreed to waive the $40.00 tech support charge this one time which was very nice condsidering their update caused major problems with my computer. I realise I don't have to accept the updates but when they are released world wide to the public I do expect them to work relatively smoothly.
    To cut a long story short after following the tech support advice and uninstalling and reinstalling itunes 10.5 for the seventh time and more than a week of going in circles and days spent away from my business trying to fix the problem - I gave up.  Because, as a non computer geek,  (no offense - I think cg's are amazing)  what I need is a functioning computer and phone to run my business that can be both relied on - all the time. That is what I paid for and expected when I bought Apples' very smart iPhone - I did not expect to be plagued by an update to a program that causes chaos for over 7 days. (And to be frank I've had problems with iTunes for the whole time I have been using it. From importing cd's to purchasing problems. gah!)
    I may be one tiny person in a very large universe but I believe a certain standard can and should be expected when handing over hard earned cash to a company with a good reputation.
    I'm very disappointed with Apple.
    Unfortunatley they have lost a customer...
    This is how I fixed the problem:
    Yesterday I bought a new smartphone - the Samsung Galaxy phone uses the Android Market and the Kies program. The phone is as good as if not better than the iPhone. The Kies program runs very smoothly on my computer. Downloading Apps is a breeze. My new phone is about the same size as the iPhone and a tad lighter.
    Problem solved!
    As a side note - I will now save about $250.00 per year on my new prepaid phone plan with Boost compared to staying with my previous post-paid plan. I also get unlimited standard national calls in Australia plus unlimited texting too! Not bad for $40.00 a month.
    While this solution worked for me it may not suit everybody.

  • I downloaded the latest Firefox and now I've lost the best feature i had, my multiple web home sites. How do I get them back

    I have always been able to set multiple home websites to come up on my Firefox browser until I installed a Firefox update this week. I cannot find this feature on the update. How do I download my old Firefox browser to recover this very, very, very important feature?

    I've always been able to minimize all my windows by double clicking the title bar. Yes, I could click the yellow button -- I just want the old feature back because I do it so automatically. Now when I double click the title bar it opens a new tab. I was able to do this with all the previous versions of Firefox as well.

  • How do I enable the scripts? I downloaded the new version of Firefox and now I need to manually allow scripts?

    I downloaded the new version of Firefox on my XP system. Now to get the scripts working I need to click to allow??

    Your list of add-ons includes '''''NoScript'''''. See their website for a description, use, and a link to their forum.

  • Updated my ipad mini and now voice sounds on movies are muffled...were fine until update!  How to fix?

    The voices on movies purchased from itunes are muffled and cant be heard...please advise

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker

    iPhone: Can’t hear through the receiver or speakers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1630
    http://www.atreks.com/app-no-sound-on-ipad-4-%E2%80%93-what-to-do/
    To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Tap on General
    3. Tap on Reset
    4. Tap on Reset All Settings
    What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

    This is a copy of ONEof the keys  in the registry I changed  as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR  software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others  they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so  I downloaded the software and installed again.
    Sorry, just this minute went to insert image  and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content  is not allowed?.
    The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr  SiRem GEARAspiWDN.

  • I updated to the newest version of FIREFOX and now my NETFLIX won't play, YOUTUBE videos will not play. I was one of the people that donated to you this year.

    Hello Mozilla/FIREFOX I just updated to your latest version and now my NETFLIX nor my YOUTUBE plays anymore. I just get a black space without any volume or play symbols - this isn't working for me. I donated to your organization as I am a supporter but you'll need to honor your side of the street. What are you guys doing to fix this and by when will it be resolved?

    Hello,
    The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
    '''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
    To Refresh Firefox:
    # Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
    #*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    #*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
    #At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
    #Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
    #Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.
    Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.
