I've just downloaded Firefox 4, with Google as my Homepage.When I start a search, I get a page of results but can't open any of the links. The search just stops.

I've reset my firewall, re-booted and made sure that it was a 'clean' Download all with no result.

Are you using Internet Explorer 8 at present ? <br/>
Does Firefox actually work or can you not even use this messageboard with Firefox ?
You have a search bar (by default) on the top right of the screen, that will include an option to use google, does that work ?
Your ordinary location bar where you type addresses also (by default) uses google, is that working ok ? <br/>
What happens if you type in "firefox", I would expect you to get a google search page with mozilla.com towards the top of the list.
Try firefox in [[Safe Mode]], but on the first dialogue window do not make changes, just click the continue button.
*See also [[firefox does not work]] and the articles linked from that
What is the actual address of the google home page you are using ?
What happens if you use this link: http://www.google.com/
If Firefox does not work with the google pages, also try those pages with IE8 do the pages and searches work in IE8.

    After "Restoring iTunes Library backup" it wont link to the files in the iTunes folder. I've followed the procedure as described, and the iTunes folder is in the correct location. iTunes lists all my music correctly (albeit with no artwork), but can't locate any of the files.
    I've been restoring my iTunes folder from a backup hard drive to a new computer on which I've downloaded the latest iTunes (10.7). If this is a newer version than the one I backed up with could this be the problem? (I had the latest (to my knowledge) iTunes when I backed up the folder about 3 weeks ago, was this version 10.7?)
    Or is the version of iTunes (within recent updates) not an issue when restoring a library?
    Using Windows 7.
    Any help please?

    From the top of the page where the scripts live...
    The general method of use is to download the script to a folder of your choice, e.g. your Desktop, Downloads folder or create a folder at ...\iTunes\Scripts. Select a playlist or highlight some tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script to execute it. If no specific tracks are selected the script will try to work with all tracks in the current playlist. Some scripts offer a choice of track by track confirmation of changes or fully automatic processing of the selection. Many of the scripts can optionally display a progress bar while running.
    You are strongly advised to backup your entire library, or at the very least the iTunes Library.itl file, before use. Test the behaviour of your chosen script on a small group of files first to make sure it does what you want before applying it to large numbers of files.
    Most builds of Windows will execute *.vbs scripts when you double-click them. If that doesn't happen then you might need to visit the Add/Remove Programs or Programs & Features control panel to enable the Windows Scripting Host. I can track down details if you have issues.
    Backing up and restoring data is an area that is often glossed over. Most people don't try to learn much about it until they've lost something important. (Me too )
    If your iTunes library was in the usual layout then normally copying the whole iTunes folder from the User's Music folder in the old computer to the User's Music folder in the new one will usually work fine. Ideally this is done before iTunes is installed so that there is no empty library to replace, and all settings are picked up from the old library. This post contains more details.

  • I have downloaded adobe digital editions but can't open or launch the program

    I have downloaded Adobe Digital editions but can't open or launch the program.

    What operating system.
    If Vista, read http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/installing-digital-editions-20-windows.html
    If XP, quite a few people have problems.  One resolution is to install the older 1.7.2 version instead (which also avoids various other bugs).
    Version 1.7.2 is a little difficult to find,
    I found it for PC at http://www.tucows.com/preview/853736/Adobe-Digital-Edition-For-EBooks
    I'm not sure where there is a Mac version.

  • I just upgraded to Firefox 6, but can't find any file or link listing what changes were included in the upgrade.

    I was prompted by Firefox to upgrade to version 6.0, which I did. But I can't seem to find any file or link which details what changes or enhancements were added to version 6 vs version 5.

  • When I try to download a news publication it appears nothing happens. This started a week ago after I updated my browser. Can you offer any help to rectify this situation?

    I receive a newspaper link biweekly and was always able to download the material and read it at leisure. I recently updated to the latest version of firefox and since then I am not able to get the publication. A widow shows that the information is being received from the host. At a short time the window disappears but I do not see the publication.

    @sanjampet: I have already read the link you provided and none of the solutions work, which is why I posted here.
    Safe mode just doesn't activate. I hold shift for as long as possible until eventually I get the prohibited symbol. When I hold shift I see the apple logo and loading icon and then eventually prohibited symbol, its as if I wasn't holding shift at all, which makes me wonder if the shortcut is even correct? And I know its not a problem with my keyboard or my timing of pushing shift because holding alt/option works as usual.
    Holding C to load from the installs disc doesn't work either, which eliminates all the solutions based on that. Its the same as safe mode - I hold the button until I eventually get prohibited symbol.
    I also tried selecting my Mac hd via holding alt key - same result: prohibited symbol.
    I also tried selecting my installs disc via holding alt key and a strange thing happens: I see the apple logo and loading wheel but this time it is stuck on the apple logo and loading spin thing for about 20 minutes while there is lots of noise and activity coming from the CD drive..
    I also tried resetting the NVRAM/PRAM, which DID seem to have an affect (screen was brighter + startup sound was louder) but I still see the prohibited symbol like all the other times.
    I'm yet to be able to get past the prohibited symbol, the only way around it so far is to load the windows partition if my HD.

  • Just updated MacBook Pro, connect to WiFi, but unable to open any of the downloads, Just updated MacBook Pro, connect to WiFi, but unable to open any of the downloads

    I just updated my MacBook Pro with the latest release of Lion.  Now I am unable to open downloaded content.  I have no trouble connecting to WiFI.
    Any ideas?

    What is the prompt that comes up when you try to open a downloaded file? Where did you download the file from? What kind of file is it?

  • I can log into my Comcast Xfinity email account but I cannot open any of the emails using Firefox - I can open them via IE

    so I get to my list of emails and I click on them and the connecting circular icon does not swirl around but stays static and the email will not load. I was on with the Comcast rep for 20 minutes today. She changed my password etc but still no help with comcast but I can open on Internet Explorer. She suggested I delete the Firefox browser entirely and then reload it.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in 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.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Problem with Pages.  I have recently been unable to open Pages, or any documents from Pages on my iMac.  Pages seems to be in the Cloud and can open a list of the documents in Pages, but can't open any of those documents.

    Recently unable to open Pages or any documents therein.  It seems to be stuck in the Cloud.  Although I can open a list of the documents I can not open any of the documents. 

    The answer is simple...  If you want to remedy this, then don't save them as PDFs.
    Word opens Word and text documents.  Not PDFs.

  • I have signed up for iCloud but can't open it even after I sign in. I just get the account page.

    I set up iCloud on my iPad Air and on my PC but can't open it past the Account page where I sign in. I can't access any of the features (like iemail, documents etc.) There is no where for me to open them.

    I'm not sure what you're looking for on your iPad.  You set up iCloud by going to Settings>iCloud, signing in with your Apple ID to create your account, then turning on the data you want to sync with iCloud.  However, iCloud is a service, it isn't an app.  It will sync data that you add or change within the apps on your your iPad that are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc.).
    When you go to icloud.com from your computer browser, you should get the sign in pop-up like the image below.  After signing in, you can access the apps from icloud.com.  If this isn't working for you, you may need to troubleshoot your browser as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4050.

  • I can't open any apps I downloaded after connecting to the computer (itunes) for the first time! Help!

    I connected my iphone 4s to my macpro for the first time to add some musci, I didn't touch the apps folder.
    But after ejecting, I can't open any of the apps I downloaded. When I press on them, they just shake but nothing opens!

    You shouldn't.  Downloading the app re-authenticated the iTunes account on your phone.  This happens to people from time to time (not sure why) but making you are logged into the Apple store in iTunes with your Apple ID prior to syncing might help.
