I've been using Firefox for quite a long time now and recently it has started giving some problems. It freezes randomly and doesn't respond to any clicks.

I am a proud user of Firefox. I started experiencing the freezing problem since i updated to Firefox 18 and now I am facing the same problem with Firefox 19. Firefox does not respond to any of my clicks and then I have to close it using Task Manager. This is happening frequently and randomly. It does not freeze on a particular site or anything else. It just freezes randomly. Please do reply if anyone has a solution to this problem.

Been using Firefox for years, deleted Babylon app & now I can't launch Firefox at all. I've uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox, rebooted, but that didn't solve the problem. Am I condemned to IE?

On 3/18 I used Firefox to download a translation app called Babylon to my Dell Latitude laptop - running XP Pro. I checked out the app, got all the pop-ups asking me to buy spinoff products & uninstalled Babylon. When I rebooted I couldn't open Firefox.
I started investigating, came up with a weird Pareto Logic UUS error, fixed that. Unistalled Firefox through the Control Panel. Used IE to again download & install latest Firefox. At the end of installation, the dialog box askes "Lauch Firefox now?" which I checked & clicked the Finish button. Nothing happened. I rebooted & tried to launch Firefox from the Start menu, then from the root .exe - no luck. IE launches fine; I just want my Firefox back!

i wish i could paste the error message but it is

Used Excel for an extremely long time, now using OpenOffice...

I've been using Excel since about 1989, and so it's hard to switch from it to something else. Recently I've become fed up with Microsoft's serial number scheme, and now have legitimate DVDs/CDs practically worthless because I have used the serial number too many times. I also refuse to call India to have these validated. Because of all this crap, I've started using OpenOffice.
OpenOffice is nice, but it's taking me a long time to get used to it. Every thing about it is just "ok." There's nothing outstanding about it. I'm wondering if Numbers would be better. Most of what I do is for myself only.
I've looked at the tutorials for Numbers, but I'm wondering if anyone as made one for people who are switching from Excel, and need to be shown "here's what you did in Excel, now here's how it's done in Numbers."
Has anyone used all three? Would OpenOffice or Numbers be better to switch to?
Thanks.

something as simple as typing in a series like Jan, Feb, and then have the spreadsheet fill in the rest requires me to look up how to do it in the manual. I think I will stick with OpenOffice for right now until I've read the manual for Numbers.

Including the Jan, Feb... series of the example. OOo doesn't run on pre-intel Macs, so I used NeoOffice.
Excel (Win): type Jan into a cell, grab the handle at the lower right corner of the cell and drag right (or down) to fill as many cells as desired with the months in succession.
Numbers: type Jan into a cell, grab the handle at the lower right corner of the cell and drag right (or down) to fill as many cells as desired with the months in succession.
Neo did not retain the selection border and handle when data was typed into the cell, so it was necessary to confirm the entry by pressing return, enter or tab, then reselect the cell before dragging the handle. Otherwise the process was the same as Excel and Numbers.
For some series—1, 3, 5 for example—all three applications require two entries (to establish the interval) be made and selected before dragging the handle. Numbers and Excel will fill a series of alternate months. Neo will not.
BUT like Jerry, I would NOT discourage anyone from reading the Numbers '09 User Guide (and the iWork Formulas and functions User Guide as needed).

Barry
PS: I share some of your frustration, but in the opposite direction. Most things are similar enough in Excel to what I'm used to after years of using AppleWorks and months of using Numbers that I can usually figure out a way to do it in Excel. When I can't, the Help files are available.

I have been using firefox for a number of years now. I hate the new version! Tell me how to roll it back or I will stop using your browser!

I was asked to night to download the new version so i did. I hate it! Tell me how to roll it back or I will stop using this your browser.

Firefox 5.0 will be out in a few days, then you really will feel left out if you go back to an earlier version.
What you see that looks like Chrome and Internet Explorer can all be put back to look like Firefox again, after all '''Firefox is customizable'''. Follow the first 10 steps in the following, which will be faster than going back and will be a lot more satisfying.
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]
Those changes should last through all of Firefox 5.0 and Firefox 6.0 at the very least.

I would like any tips about where to take my Macbook Air to solve an iMovie software I have been struggling with for quite a long time. I need to see a person who is willing to help me finalise a film, any tips welcome? Thanks

Getting in person support

Hi Klaus, I have tried to do that before - I think you replied before, asking me what system I was using. My response was 'Hello, thank you, I am using OS X Version Lion 10.7.5 and iMovie '11 vwesion 9.0.4 (1635).'
Despite completely clearing my machine, and moving the movie project to an external drive, when I try to finalise the movie I get error -108 after approximately one hour of processing.
I am very keen to be able to export this film. My technical knowledge is limited and I learned a basic level of iMovie to make the film - often online responses and suggestions are too complex for me - hence my question about where I would go to have an expert look at this problem...
Any suggestions would be most welcome, thanks

Been using Firefox for years, yesterday not able to get Firefox page at all, page comes up blank

I have been using Firefox for years. Somehow I seem to have blocked it. I get a blank page when trying to enter the site. What to do? thank you

Can you attach a screenshot?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
*Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
*Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB
Check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details" to expand this section.
If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If "I Understand the Risks" is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
*Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
*Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate.

I'm new using Logic, i've been using garageband for quite awhile now though but my question is just basic. When i want to record electric guitar while clicking the software option it brings me to alot of guitar sounds that i want to chose. I chose the twangy electric or the distorted strat but i only hear clean sounds. No matter what kind of guitar sound i chose in the library it only produces clean guitar. How can i make it sound like it supposed to? Did i miss something i should do?

This definitely has me stumped as I'm unsure as to why your guitar can be heard, but with none of the channel strips plugins applied to the sound.
On the record enabled channel strip that contains your guitar input, is the "I" button located near the "R" active? Also, if you record your guitar, can you hear the FX applied to it when you play back the recorded track?

Several sites will not respond any longer when I type or click on them. I have been using Firefox for years and all of a sudden, nothing.

I have been using Firefox for many years now and have been going to several sites on Firefox. Now, after an update around two days ago, I can't do anything with the sites. The cursor stays an arrow, and doesn't click anything. It's like a blank page with print on it.
I've tried almost everything, but to no avail. It's too much to copy and paste below.
Any ideas or help would be very much appreciated.
Also, http://tesnexus.com is another site, plus a few others, besides google.com.

Hi Papajack55,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
Hopefully this helps!

I have been using firefox for years. I installed the latest version of Firefox. It worked fine for several days. Now I get the above message each time I try to start Firefox, even in safe mode. i have checked with latest antivirus softwere also.. i didn't find any thing suspicious.

I was having this problem few days ago,and I have fixed.Try this steps-If you have AVG antivirus so go on firefox>Tools>Add On and Disable AVG safe search and AVG tool bars too.Then restart computer.

I've been using Firefox for years. Now your load screen appears everytime I open. It's a hassle!

Every time I open Firefox to go to the internet I get a page that says thanks for becoming a tester, etc. Then you want me to download Firefox, which I've done 6 times now! Then you make Firefox Search my homepage. Then I change the homepage. Then a screen comes up saying AVG has been successfully installed. Then I use the internet and the next time I re-open Firefox I get the same bull##%% routine!
I've been using Firefox for years. What's up? It's a major hassle!

If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection

My iPad getting very warm when i use it for bit in longer time

Why my ipad is getting very warm when i use it for bit in longer time, any body has same experience?, Why my ipad is getting very warm when i use it for bit in longer time, any body has same experience?

The Temperature warning usually appears when the iPad has been set in a place where it gets so hot to the touch that you'd almost burn your hands if you picked it up. The temperature caused by the processor or charging the battery should never reach that level. If you feel your pad is too warm when you are using it Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

I have windows 7 and have been using Firefox for the last several months and now I can' open it up for some reason.

I've been using firefox as my principle browser for quite some time. I normally just click on it once and it opens to the home page with google search in the middle of the page. I downloaded some e-mail attachment about a job and that's when it seemed to act up. I ran a scan on my computer and it says there is no problems but I still can't open up Firefox home page by clicking on the fox/world icon.

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

How can I restore my old history & bookmarks if I didn't run backup before re-installing a new clean OS? I've been using Firefox for 7 years as default, help me

Hello,
I believe that what I'm asking is simple & clear. Do you or do you not store user data backups on your servers? I've been using Firefox, as the default browser, for over 7 years. Naturally, I had to upgrade my
pc's & operating systems several times through this period. Every time I use a new device & of course a
new OS, I normally lose my old data (History & Bookmarks).
If you keep records or backups of old users' data, there will be no problem & I could restore all my old data
following your instructions. If not, which is probably the case, I'd like to suggest you consider developing or
at least put more stress on running backup before uninstalling & re-installing a new OS for the users to pay more attention to this issue.
That's all, thanks.
Regards,
Aly Hamed

hello aly, mozilla doesn't keep any of your history or bookmarks on its severs without your expressed consent (would be a horrible privacy policy otherwise) - there's the [[Use Sync to share your Firefox bookmarks, passwords and more with Firefox for mobile|firefox sync feature]] which will store parts of your private data encrypted in the cloud, in case you've used that in the past you'd need 3 components to restore this data: your username, password & the recovery key...
otherwise i don't know of any way to get to your old data if you haven't kept any other backup of some sorts - unfortunately most of us are reminded to the importance of backups when it's already too late :-/
in regard to your suggestion: during the firefox uninstall procedure your personal data isn't removed per default, so it would still be there after a reinstall of the application - you'd have to explicitly check the option to clear this kind of data in the uninstaller. some general information on where to look if you want to backup your firefox data in the future is available here: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]

I've been using Firefox for quite a long time now and recently it has started giving some problems. It freezes randomly and doesn't respond to any clicks.
