In the last week, AOL email hangsup, crashes, etc. AOL says it's the fault of FireFox and I should switch to Safari!
I use Firefox 3.6.6 as my browser on my Mac using 10.6.6 both at home and at work (A public high school). The problem is on my home Mac. I have high speed wireless.I use AOL for e-mail. Last week, my AOL e-mail started slowing down, hanging up, crashing, freezing, etc. As an AOL subscriber I could call AOL. The tech support's comments were I should switch to Safari, Firefox is not supported by Apple/ Mac, clear my history, and I should deal with Firefox. AOL sent a followup that that did not allow me to file out the 'comments' section. Is Firefox really the problem?'''
It may be worth noting that the beta version is normally installed in addition to the stable release. It is also standard practice to setup an additional profile so that each browser version has a unique profile to use.
* see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Testing_pre-release_versions
You are likely to run into problems with firefox if you attempt to run two versions with the one profile.
By having two versions on the computer you may choose which version to use, for instance you may choose to use 4 at work and 3.6 at home on the AOL ISP. IMO it has always been a good idea to keep manual backups of bookmarks, and with firefox 4 you will probably have noticed the Sync feature

I installed a creative Cloud a month ago for a free trial. Last week, i bought a licence of Lightroom 5. Now, how can i install and register my licence of Lightroom 5 on my computer?
That creative cloud installation of Lightroom will have to be uninstalled. It cannot be activated with the serial number you have. You can download the trial version from one of these two websites, and activate it with your serial number:
Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
You will not lose any of the work you may have done using the trial version. In the future, when posting questions it would really help if you would identify your operating system and other pertinent computer information. -

Disabling firewall and AV did the trick!

I downloaded the new iOS 7 and i can't open safari in my iPad mini, what's going on?
I downloaded the new iOS 7 and i can't open safari in my iPad mini, what's going on?
You can't open it meaning it does not launch when you tap on the app icon? If that's what's happening try this and then see if Safari will launch.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
Now close Safari. To close Safari, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to Safari and then swipe "up" on the Safari thumbnail app to close it.
Now reboot the iPad. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If Safari does launch and this isn't what you are experiencing - you need to explain in more detail what is going on. -
AVG tried to take over the Firefox Program. I unchecked some stuff on AVG and now Firefox doesn't look right. There is only a bar at the top of the page with "Firefox" and "new Tab" . How do I get the Firebox homepage back?
Google Toolbar Options, in the Search tab, make sure that '''Enable the Google new tab page''' is check-marked. If that doesn't fix it for you, see this for support information about the Google Toolbar. <br />

As far as your UserAgent showing Firefox 3.0.11, see this: <br />

Keep getting a pop up at the top of many websites I visit 'firefox security error content at *web address* may not load" I am using the most recent firefox and windows 7. This is happening at many sites, such as hotmail, google reader, and many others.
Sorry, I don't think that is a message from inside Firefox, the wording doesn't sound correct - at least the beginning of that message. My "gut" thinks that is a MSN Live message to explain and compensate for their lack of security with a re-direct from a secure domain to an un-secure domain. ''(the end of that message)''
{Ctrl + Shft + J} will open the Firefox Error Console - I'm curious what Firefox has to say about that situation. If you find the error message for that domain, you can right-click the message to '''copy''' it and then paste that error message here.
Maybe '''TonyE''' or '''cor-el''' will be more familiar with the situation at Live and maybe at Google Reader, I don't use either of those services and have never seen a message like that myself. -
I am a first time user. When I try to purchase a song and enter my ID and password and hit buy, the system indicates that the account is new and I should preview my account info. I do that, enter Paypal as my purchase option, get verification, and try to purchase again same message. How do I get out of this loop so that I can buy?

I bought an HD movie. I downloaded the std def version and when I switch to HD, iTunes said I already downloaded it. How do I re-download an HD movie?
Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store. If you still have your old and haven't copied to over to your computer's iTunes library then you can do so by connecting that phone to your computer and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - it should copy over to the Books paer of your iTunes library (Audiobooks if you are using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it). You can then sync it to your new phone.
