Installed 3.6.11 and now Firefox will not get a network connection. What could have changed?

I used Firefox all the time. I installed Firefox 3.6.11 and it all looked fine. I'm running on XP service pack 3. Now when I bring Firefox up it does not connect to the tabs specified at startup, say that they cannot be found and if you try another one it will say try your modem (works with IE and mail). I can't get a connection to the network.

I also have this problem. I cannot open links from a discussion board I frequent nor can I open links from my email. Also after opening my email, I cannot go to any other sites except my home page. I can then go no where else.
When I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it does nothing! I have to bring up the Task Manager and end the Firefox process before I can get back in.
To the best of my knowledge, this problem started with the new update to Ver. 3.6.9. I am running Windows XP Media Center 2005

I was told I had to upgrade Firefox to 4.0, downloaded the dmg, launched it and now Firefox will not open at all.

I was told I had to upgrade Firefox to 4.0, downloaded the dmg, launched it and now Firefox will not open at all. It tells me "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items." Also, that "Firefox cannot be opened because of a problem." And it give a bunch of code. This is my main browser. What is happening here? My OS X is 10.6.7. Has this caused a problem?

If you right-click on your Photoshope.exe, select Properties, there should be a Compatibility tab. There you can select Windows XP, Windows 2000, Winows 98 or 95. One of these should allow you to open Photoshop 6, unless you mean CS6.

Installed new itunes update and now it will not sync with outlook

installed new itunes update and now it will not sync with outlook. it says it will only do it through the Icloud. How can i change it

Hello xtremejoe
I find that changing some settings in your syncing options will get syncing working again, like enabling Manually manage music and videos.

This should help you empty what's currently in the trash, but is no guarantee you got everything related to MacKiller off the drive. See Ogelthorpe's link.

I upgraded from 3.6.13 to Beta 4.0 and now Firefox will not open at all I tried to uninstall to start again but it will not uninstall either it does nothing.

I uninstalled Beta 4 and re-installed 3.6.13 now Firefox will not open at all I tried to uninstall to start again but it will not uninstall either it does nothing, I have been using Firefox for a long time but cannot resolve this problem can anyone help and give me a solution please. As I use Firefox as my web browser it is very frustrating.
The fact it will not uninstall appears to be something completely new as nobody I know who uses Firefox has ever encountered this in the past.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

I installed itunes 10.5 and now it will not recognize my phone-

I installed itunes 10.5 last week and now when I plug in my iPhone it will not recognize it. I've gone through all the recommended troubleshooting through Apple's site but it seems to make my computer worse. I re-installed itunes 3 times and it still will not find my phone when I plug it in. When I go to my device manager my "Apply Mobile Device USB Driver" has the little Yellow Triangle with the exclamation point it in- I checked for and updated driver but it says I have the most current one. I am running Windows Vista and itunes was working fine before I took the upgrade. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

I spent last week looking for a solution to that little yellow "!" needle haystack....
It is probably buried where nothing can touch or change it other than what I resorted to and would have saved time, clean install after I made sure to have two backup sets: Windows Easy Transfer plus Paragon clone OS and partitions to drive. Had to spend a full day reinstalling, updates, etc. Careful not to bring back any prefs or data that might be corrupt or wrong.
10.5 and iOS 5 on new iPod 4G works much better though and as they should and no issues like I had with AMS or other services or needing to restart first before launching iTunes.

I started working for ChaCha, and now firefox will not work unless I manually close it in the process tree every time I want to use it. I also cannot open more than 1 page at a time.

I started working for ChaCha 11/26/2010, I had to download a program to take incoming questions.
Ever since then, Firefox will not work correctly, even if I am totally logged out of ChaCha, and the page is closed, if I try to open my browser using Firefox, it will not open, I have to go into the processor tree and manually end Firefox, then it will work, but it will only let me open 1 page at a time. For example I have Firefox open now, but if I go and click on the icon to open it in a new browser, it will not open, I either have to close this, or use IE-I HATE IE lol.
I cannot use the ChaCha add on you have because it is not for the new version of Firefox, please help, I love Firefox, but not being able to open more than one window/page at a time does not cut it, nor does having to manually stop it from processing. I have tried re-installing it too.
Thank you, Melinda

I should add that I face the same problem with Safari and Google Chrome.

I need assistance. I signed up for The Novel Network and now Firefox will not allow me access. I'm a computer dolt and don't know what to do next

Firefox will not allow me to access the area of this site to allow me

Here are my answers, as best I know how to present them:
1. I can see a big red "f". It's not flashing or moving or anything. Does that count as animation?
There is also an empty box with an X in the corner, as if a pop-up is blocked, or something.
2. I see 2 things under Adobe, called Adobe PDF Reader Link Helper and Adobe PDF Link Helper, both enabled.
3. I see Flash10m.ocx; FlashUtil10m_ActiveX; Get Flash; swflash; FlashInstall; FlashUtil10m_ActiveX.dll; and install.
(#2 and #3 took me to places I'd never been before. ha ha)

Upgraded and now firefox will not open.

I have upgraded to Firefox 7 and now I keep getting amessage that says that Firefox is having trouble restoring windows and tabs. I have shut down everything and restarted, but still get the same message.

What happens when you try to start Firefox?
Some things that might be relevant depending on the answer...
Sometimes Firefox will "hang" during startup. The process is in memory but stops working. In that case, you may need to use the Windows Task Manager to "kill" the process.
* You can launch the Windows task manager by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc.
* First check the Applications tab, then check the Processes tab (look for firefox.exe).
* You can select the stalled item and use the End Task or End Process button. Note that if Firefox actually were in use, this could cause data loss, but since it's not yet displayed, this should be okay.
Sometimes a program-control firewall will block an upgraded Firefox as possibly being modified by malware. In these cases, it may help to clear any references to Firefox from the firewall and have it redetect the application when you try to start it.
