The updates never install. I get a failed message. Maybe you can suggest why this is happening.

I just gave you the details. When I click on a hyperlink, the URL of the site/page is not in the address box at the top of the page.
Type '''about:config''' in the Location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key. When you see a warning, click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' button.

Check and tell if its working. -
Pages display is too large for the screen. They blame me for the dpi setting on my pc, yet resetting to the default setting does not fix the problem.
As I understand it, the philosophy behind the changes in Firefox 22 were to apply your Windows text size of 150% to web pages, on the theory that you probably would want that. This doesn't work for everyone.
If the user interface text is a good size, then try this extension to adjust the page zoom level. You can still fine-tune zoom on pages using Ctrl+ and Ctrl- but this will reduce the numbers of sites you need to adjust.
[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/ Default FullZoom Level]
To counteract the change, here are examples of some settings to try:
* Windows text size 125% => set default zoom level to 80%
* Windows text size 150% => set default zoom level to 67%
Can you find a setting that looks good to you?
Note: If you already have the NoSquint extension, use its global zoom level instead of adding a new add-on. -

I can't send out e-mails! I get a connection error message.
I can receive messages, surf the web via Firefox.
The only related thing to this occurrence is that I received a notice from Firefox recommending that I disable a Skype extension, which I did. Not sure if this is connected.somegirl wrote:
1. Change your server to outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net - This is the correct outbound server for Verizon Yahoo accounts.
2. Make sure the setting for "outgoing server requires authentication" is selected. - It should auth with your vz username and password
If you are still having trouble, post the error. (The error you've posted here is for the wrong server.)
Well, I had already done those things before. The message I got when I tried is:
An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: From address not verified - see http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/manage/sendfrom-07.html. Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and try again.
I had input the email address without the @verizon.net extension. That's exactly how I input it in the pop3 set-up for receiving e-mail and it works there.
So I went to the link that is referenced in the error message. It basically had me go to my Yahoo mail account page. I was directed to add an account with a different email address. A verification code was then sent to me via email that I then had to input into the new account's setup page in order to activate my Yahoo mail for smtp use. Once I input the code and validated I was then able to send e-mails just fine with Thunderbird. I was able to use my @verizon.net email address and not the new account I had created.
Bottom line - I had to activate/validate my account before I could send email. I had not read about this anywhere when trying to figure out what was wrong. -
I have an icloud email account that was set up by my spouse and I am trying to get rid of everything with him on it due to the nature of the split and want to make sure he can never access the childrens and my photots, music, etc.
In this I wanted to change the email address in icloud so that I no longer get his emails from his contacts, friends, etc. I made an alias but is there anyway to delete this icloud email address and use another or will this delete all of our data?
New at this icloud and its real cool but afraid to lose all my information.

Deleting the account from the phone will do only that! it won't affect any other information on any other device. -
When using firefox, I can no longer open attachments, pdf or downloads. A new window will open and it is blank. The only way to open an attachment or pdf is to shut down firefox and use safari. Everything works with safari so I can't understand what went wrong with firefox. I even download adobe reader thinking that would help. I then deleted my original firefox and re downloaded firefox again. It still doesn't work.
I am using a 10.6 operating system on my Mac.Try to disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
*Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader
PDF files may also be found under another entry like Portable document.

I want to remove the yahoo search bar from Firefox and use the google search bar.
I did go to about:config and made the keyword.URL to default (Google). It is not getting affected. Please help me to know how can I set it in Firefox.
I need to remove yahoo search from my Firefox and use the Google search. I did the following steps for the same.
about:config, searched keyword:URL and reset to default.
But the change is not getting affected. Pls helpWork around that I have used (my machine is running Windows XP SP3 might work on other systems as well):
1) Ensure Firefox is closed, if necessary read this in another browser
2. Open the Firefox directory on the hard drive (typically: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox)
3. Go into the 'searchplugins' folder
4. Delete the file named 'yahoo.xml'
5. Immediately restart your machine -
Whenever I open Facebook through Firefox I get pop up ads and such. I do not seem to get this when using other browsers like Safari or IE. It's sooo annoying!!! I will use another browser until it's solved.
Since you have encountered the problem at other sites, not just Firefox, I'd bet that it is an Internet Explorer problem, not the web sites. Actually, I am sure it is an IE problem.
Try running Windows Update, perhaps there are some updates for Internet Explorer that might resolve the problem. If you don't know how to run Windows Update, use the Help on your system to look for information on Windows Update.
If that does not help, use Google to search for information on IE9 locking up when downloading.

How do I log on to my personalized firefox browser from a public computer using another browser.
Right now, there is no real way to do that. You could log into Firefox Sync [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync], and that would move your personal data to the new computer (if it was using Firefox). but then you would want to delete your profile on the public computer to ensure you didn't leave your personal information available for others.
There are initiatives that plan on making it possible to log onto Firefox from any computer and instantly have all your information, but they are not near completion. -
Each time I run verizon's fios speed test in fire fox the results are very slow until I use another browser,IE, chrome, then back to firefox and rerun speed test. The speed increases = to other browsers. I have another computer on the same network but with win 7 instead of win 8.1 and do not have this problem. This has occurred over several months ,versions and updates of fire fox. I have tried many fixes to no avail. I like fire fox and want to stay with it.

In order to better assist you can you please mention what was tried and if you are using a proxy or not, as well as a firewall or antivirus. Thank you. -
I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?
If you abandon one of the Apple IDs you will also basically be abandoning any content that you have acquired with that Apple ID. Content can only be updated and re-downloaded with the Apple ID that was used to buy it. Apple will not combine the content of Apple IDs and Apple will not transfer the content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID.

I have a MacBook, made in 2010. I can't get the eject function to work. I have a DVD in now and want to eject it and put another one in. Command-E, dragging it to the trash or Find-Eject does not work. Ideas?
Hi there. Hear are some other options . Hold down for click on the track pad while restarting and keep it down all the way thru boot. Or use right click on a mouse. If it's stuck, sometimes sticking a business card in top edge of slot while trying the eject option can work.
