I upgraded to Firefox 8. Now my home page says this: "Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/browserconfig.properties.

This is what it says on my screen when I open Firefox:
Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/browserconfig.properties.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    If you are talking about moving the page to your desktop, then all you have to do is drag the favicon to the left of the address bar to the Desktop.
    If you are talking about something else, please explain a little clearer.
    Thank you! :)

    go iTunes > preferences > advanced and temporarily disable the copy files ... when adding option.
    from the file menu, choose add to library and select the folder on the external containing your content, or drag the folder to the automatically add to iTunes folder inside the iTunes folder.
    when iTunes has finished the operation, go back to preferences > advanced and point iTunes media folder location to the external so that future additions to your library are put there. also, re-enable the copy files ... when adding option.

  • I have the version of iPhoto that comes with my OS when I purchased my MacBook, but now I can't open it, because it says this, "You can't open the application "iPhoto" because it may be damaged or incomplete. Please help I have tons of family photos.

    I have the version of iPhoto that comes with my OS when I purchased my MacBook, but now I can't open it, because it says this, "You can’t open the application “iPhoto” because it may be damaged or incomplete. Please help I have tons of family photos.

    1 - the iPhoto application is an application and does not hole your photos - your photos are in the iPhoto library an dour normal daily backup will back them up so your photos are safe
    2 - what exactly does the error message say? You probably need to reinstall the iPhoto application form the original source
    3 - note that no version of iPhoto comes with any OS - iPhoto comes with all new Macs but not with any OS and most OS versions can run many different versions of iPhoto

  • TS2755 I am trying to find a message from 2012 and when I load previous messages it only goes back so far then the program quits and sends me to the home ( main) screen. How can I find the message and get around this?

    I am trying to access a message from early 2012. When I load previous messages It will only go back to oct 2012 and then the program stops and kicks my to the home page. Anyone know how I can get to the message? Thanks.

    Try Spotlight Search
    1. From any Home screen page of iPad, drag your finger down anywhere on the center of Home screen.
    2. Spotlight search will now appear and you can search for apps, texts, or any other content you'd like just as you did on previous versions of iOS.

  • Firefox will not allow me to access a website address that has no www in the address, so I cannot get to a site address that specifically does NOT have www in the address--firefox keeps inserting www & then informs me that it can't find the site. How t

    What more is there to say? I was given an address to use in a project I am working on. It does NOT include www in the address. Every time I try to get to the site, I enter the address and firefox inserts www into the address and if I click on it, I am informed that firefox can't located the site try again, maybe I misspellled it, etc. Since I copied it directly from the e-mail I was sent AND I have gone to that site using the link provided in the e-mail I KNOW I can get there and it would seem that the site exists.

    Reading PDF files is not Firefox, you can read file external to the browser or with a plugin.
    The Download Window closes instantly the download finishes or may not even open at all bring it back with Ctrl+J
    You are using Foxit Reader instead of Adobe Reader
    make sure it is compatible with Firefox 5 if it is running within Firefox, check their site
    or install Adobe Reader unfortunately it comes with Adobe Air
    whatever that it, and being adobe you have to watch out for
    crapware also being install, McAfee Security Scan, Google Chrome, Adobe Air

    Your biggest problem will be finding a retail copy of the Leopard install DVD. Finding a Family Pack will be even harder.
    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
    MB022Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Installation and Setup Guide

    After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

  • Firefox very slow loading most pages, sometimes error message :"can't find server for......." ....."

    Firefox is very slow loading pages, some pages never load, sometimes error message stating "cannot connect to server" Router is not an issue I don't think as other computer connected to it has no problems. Used Malwarebytes to clean up problems, only 5 found. Internet Explorer does not have the same problems.

    The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
    Try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

  • I installed the latest Firefox nd now all my menus are in a foreign language, so I can't find the setting I need to change.

    I can't read what the menus and so forth say, so i can't find the right setting to change the language. I tried re-installing again but it did it again.

    Hey you can change it by using several steps :
    * Open Firefox
    * Click the list like Button of your browser shown at '''right side''' of window (older versions click on firefox button and then tool menu) and click on the '''Options''' menu item
    * The Options window will now be open
    * Click on the Content icon at the top of the Option window
    * Under the Languages heading(3rd line tab), click the Choose button
    * You should now see your current language(s) in order of preference from top to bottom
    * To add a language: click the Select a language to add.. drop-down list button, Select a language, and click the Add button
    * To change the order of preferred language(s): Select a language, then click the Move Up or Move Down buttons to change the order

  • Since upgrading to Firefox 27.0 some webpages will not load when I click on them. It gives me a message saying that Firefox can't find the server.

    Since upgrading to Firefox 27.0 some webpages will not load when I click on them. It gives me a message saying that Firefox can't find the server. I have to click the link several time before it will load and sometimes when they do load it does not show the page right. It is like the HTML is messed up or something. I have tried everything I can think of. I started in safe mode, still did it., I removed add-ons, still did it., I reset Firefox and still did it., I completely uninstalled Firefox and re-installed Firefox and it still does it. I have tried Malware Bytes Anti-Malware scans and Avast boot-time scans and found no malware or viruses. I have found that those websites open the first time with no problems on my IE9 and they used to do so in Firefox 26.0. I'm at my wit's end. The website links are in my bookmarks and are used all the time so they are trusted and my avast is set to allow them. They range from news websites to gun websites and everything I have read says that Mozilla does not filter those unless something has changed recently.

    Try this as a first step;<BR><BR>
    Clear the Cache '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"'''''<BR><BR>
    and<BR><BR>
    Remove Cookies '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"'''''<BR><BR>
    If there is still a problem,
    '''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
    While you are in safe mode;
    '''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.

  • Firefox 13.0 changed home page behavior. How do I change it back?

    After upgrading to 13.0, everytime Firefox opens, it opens to the "Welcome to Firefox" page ( http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/13.0/whatsnew/?oldversion=rv:12.0 ). My normal home page opens in another tab. In the Options, my home page looks to be correct.
    How do I get Firefox to actually open to my home page and not the "Welcome to Firefox" page?

    Thanks for the reply. But, it's very confusing. The article that seems to fit best, only links to other articles on different subjects.
    Tried all the methods. None of them worked.
    So, the take-away is that Firefox 13.0 is broken, or the upgrade path is broken. There is no way to reinstall the previous version. The only solution seems to be to read a whole collection of articles that link to other articles, most of which aren't for this problem, but have to be read to know that. All to to perform lengthy troubleshooting operations, that don't fix the problem. Thanks, Firefox.
    If I have to spend hours trying unsuccessfully to fix Firefox... WHY ISN'T THE FIREFOX TEAM SPENDING HOURS FIXING FIREFOX??? Seems to me they should have a better chance than me at fixing Firefoxes issues.
    How about if Firefox gets properly fixed? SUGGESTION: Don't release a new version until the upgrade path is bug-free, instead of making us do Safe Mode and Reset to Factory Settings, etc? Which don't even fix the problem!!!
    The Firefox team needs to get on the ball about this.
    Upgrading to the newest version of Firefox SHOULD NOT BE SO PAINFUL!!!
    Sorry for yelling, but quotation marks don't add enough emphasis.

  • My home page is google and it works but when I open a new tab it displays an error message :Firefox can't find the file at chrome://quick_start/content/index.ht

    I've made sure a dozen times that my home page is set correctly, and when I hit the home button next to the search bar it works and takes me right to google BUT whenever i open a new tab i get the error that my page cannot load and the web url that it keeps trying to remember is in the error message:
    Firefox can't find the file at chrome://quick_start/content/index.html.
    of course the last dot is not the url anymore but the end of the sentence for the error message, but i don't ever use chrome ever on my laptop only my cell so what is going on????? help fix god please!!!!!!

    Do you have the FastStart extension?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • Firefox will no longer open completely. My home page appears, but I can't do anything with it. See "details" box for full description.

    Firefox will no longer open completely. My home page appears, but I can't do anything with it--can't use "Help," can't search the Web, can't even use "Sign Out." I have to close it entirely to get out of it. A box comes up and says "Yahoo Mail is loading especially slowly" and tells me my computer speed is slow. But this is the same computer I've always used for Firefox, and Yahoo comes up quickly and completey through Internet Explorer (which is how I'm sending this message). Can anyone help me load Firefox so that it works? I even downloaded the latest version of Firefox, but it makes no difference. Thanks.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 15.0.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.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.
    You can also try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that works.
