I'VE UNINSTALLED AND REINSTALLED FIREfOX 5.01 BUT DON'T GET THE RIGHT/lEFT ARROWS ON TOP OF PAGE LEFT IN ORDER TO GO BACK TO A PREVIOUS SCREEN. HOW DO I FIX THAT?

I'm using Windows XP and Firefox 5.01.

''uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox, still no back/forward arrows for navigating tab history''
Reinstalling Firefox almost never solves anything.
see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/851574
which covers customization, corrupt local_store.rdf, and locked or damaged places.sqlite
You might try creating a bookmark backup and restoring that as opposed to renaming/deleting the places.sqlite file that was be a last resort where you lose all of your browser history.

  • Firefox won't open pdf files; uninstalled and reinstalled Firefoxes, updated all extensions,etc. still getting error messages.

    When I attempt to load a .pdf file, a window pops up reading "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (4:4)"
    I have tried rebooting the computer, uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, making sure all plug-ins are updated (they are), disabling every other plug in to see if it was interfering (they weren't -- still got same message), and reinstalling adobe reader (and flash, just for good measure).

  • I still cannot view flash players in firefox after uninstalling and reinstalling firefox and flash multiple times. how do i fix this issue perminantly?

    I can go into chrome without any issues and watch any video without any problem. the second i get into firefox nothing works. i have had this issue on and off for years. i really do not see why you cannot fix this if everybody else can. i have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and flash player multiple times. nothing seems to work. I am truly getting really tired of this same problem year after year, i stay with firefox because you are privacy conscience and are being more so consistently. i do not know what other details to tell you other than this just keeps happening and it is making it very tough to do anything on firefox when i cannot use a simple thing such as flash player. as i said, if the other browsers can fix this i see no reason why firefox cannot year after year. i hope there is a simple fix for this problem because it has basically halted a lot of my work on the net as i will no longer use google or microsoft. thank you

    Firefox does not play videos. That is the job of the plugins.

  • Need to uninstall and reinstall firefox, google chrome wont allow it, tells me I go some page open and I have not

    need to uninstall and reinstall firefox , It tells me to close google chome windows I get thi message when I
    go to control panel programs & features high firefox then uninstrall
    I have done the same process with google chrome

    The Firefox uninstaller asks you to close Google Chrome?? That's strange. I assume you have closed ALL browser windows when that happens.
    I should ask: why do you need to uninstall and reinstall Firefox? This usually doesn't fix problems with Firefox. Maybe check out this article: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].

  • How do I get rid of the blue "downloading the latest applications" bar which won't go away even after uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox?

    Can't get rid of the blue "downloading the latest applications" bar that seems to be just hanging and won't go away. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but the bar is still there after 2 days. I updated something (can't remember what!) on I.E., and it had the same blue bar, but it had a box I could x out of so it went away on I.E. I don't know why the blue bar is there on Firefox, as I did the update while on I.E.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated an application while on Internet Explorer.

    Annette,
    #In the menu bar, at the top of the Firefox window, Go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions.
    # Locate ''each ''of the following extensions by name and click the disable button
    #Restart Firefox as prompted and see if the undesired toolbar has been removed.
    #The extensions to disable are: '''Crawler Toolbar''', '''MP3 Rocket Toolbar''', '''MSN Toolbar''', '''Search Helper Extension'''
    If you don't need some / all of those toolbars, consider leaving them disabled.
    You can probably remove these toolbars permanently from Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.

  • I couldn't update Firefox so I attempted to do an uninstall and reinstall Firefox 12.0 on Mac OS X 10.7.4 keep getting message A copy is already open.

    I attempted to uninstall and reinstall Firefox get message Firefox already open

    I could not open Firefox 13.0.1 when I updated to Mac OS X 10.7.4
    I receive the following prompt:
    '''A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at this time.'''
    I created a new OS user:
    System Preferences> Users & Groups> click on the "+" symbol, bottom left to create new user & save profile.
    Log out of current profile and log in to new OS user profile.
    Open Firefox in new user to see if the application opens.
    In my case the application opened. I then logged out of the new user profile and logged back into my old profile & followed the directions in the following weblink:
    The following link resolved the issue:
    '''http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Accessing_the_Profile_Manager'''
    Scroll down to: Accessing the Profile Manager > Mac OS X
    Close the application completely and make sure that it is not running in the background. Assuming the program is installed in the "Applications" folder, launch Terminal ("Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal") and enter the command starting with / after the prompt in Terminal:
    (Firefox) '''/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -profilemanager'''
    I then deleted the old profile and created a new profile.
    I was then able to open Firefox.

  • I have downloaded the new update for Firefox 3.6 and now cannot connect to the internet. I've checked my firewall and have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, but nothing works.

    After installing the new update for Firefox 3.6, no matter what I do, I cannot connect to the internet using Firefox. I can get on the internet using my other browsers (Google Chrome and Internet Explorer), so Firefox is the only one that doesn't work. I have already checked my firewall and have added and removed Firefox from my firewall to no avail. I've also already uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but so far it hasn't helped.

    I have already tried removing firefox from my firewall. Even when I do that, my firewall doesn't detect firefox and prompt me to add it. And when I manually add it, it still doesn't work anyways. I've already tried the link as well, but it has been unhelpful. :/
    I'm not sure if it matters, but a few weeks before this, I did download Microsoft Security Essentials.

  • I'm running windows7 and an iPhone4 and also an iPod touch2. When I connect to iTunes I get the message to uninstall and reinstall itunes. I've done this numerous times but still can't connect my devices to iTunes, HELP!

    I'm running windows7 and I'm trying to connect my iPhone4 and iPod touch2 to itunes. I've installed the latest version of iTunes, and updated my iPhone's driver. When I connect either device to iTunes I get the message "you need to uninstall and reinstall itunes". I've done this multiple times with the same results. This is very frustrating, HELP!!!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • I made a project with multiple tracks and had it all panned and mixed.  Now it's only playing in the right speaker.  Not even regestering a left side in the master volume?  What happened, how can I get both sides back?

    I made a project with multiple tracks and had it all panned and mixed.  Now it's only playing in the right speaker.  Not even regestering a left side in the master volume?  What happened, how can I get both sides back?

    Thank you for that info.
    For video, the codec is MPEG-4 Video (XVID) and for audio it says MPEG Audio Layer 1/2/3 (mpga).
    There are two issues with that file:
    The first is the Xvid CODEC (not meant for editing), and then the MPEG Audio/MPGA. I would convert that file, to something that is more editable.
    Good luck,

I asked my nephew and he said "what r they talking about, I have no block"  Can anyone help ME PLZ.

    When you go to Settings > WiFi and see your network name does it have a padlock icon to the right of the network name? If so it is a secured network with a password.
    How did you connect to your network from the iPad? From Settings > Wifi? Was a network password requested? Was it accepted?
    If you touch the ">" to the right of your network name what do you see for IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, and DNS?
