It stopped working as my browser. Trying to uninstall to reinstall and it won't let me.
Firefox stopped working, I cannot access the internet with it. I've tried changing the default settings time after time to no avail, so I decided to uninstall and reinstall, but all it does it tell me to close the program 1st, when it's not even running, so I can't even uninstall a program that I can't even use!
When you are checking the Windows Task Manager ("Ctrl+Alt+Del)
are you looking at the "Processes" tab, looking at the "Applications" won't help.
Also close the plugins-container while there.
The following may not completely eliminate having to terminate Firefox through the Windows Task Manager but it will come very close.
'''Plug-in and tasks started by Firefox may continue after attempting
to close Firefox''' The "X" in the upper right-hand corner closes the
Window (same as Ctrl+Shift+W) but even if it is the last Firefox window,
it does not necessarily close Firefox .
The only '''proper way to exit Firefox''' is to use '''Exit''' through the
File menu, not the "X" in the upper right corner of last Firefox window.
In the Beta that would be Alt+F then X

Use the '''Windows Task Manger''' to remove all running firefox.exe in the "'''Processes'''" tab of the Windows Task Manager, then restart Firefox.
''very infrequent --'' If Firefox will still not start, remove the parent.lock file from the profile which is created each time Firefox is started to prevent other Firefox tasks from running, see<br>

'''Avoiding Problems with close/restart''' ''choose either extension''
:Use to close and restart Firefox after enabling or disabling an extension, switching to a new theme, or modifying configuration files, then you don't have to worry about delay or have to look in the Task Manager to see if Firefox is closed yet.

If you didn't establish a rescue email address, you will need to call applecare support. Ask for account security to reset your security questions. After the advisor is able to verify your identity, they can reset your security questions.

I have not been able to get onto the internet using firefox. when I click on it it goes through the motions but nothing happens. I had to use internet explorurer to go to the net. I tried to uninstall firefox to reinstall it thinking there was a problem and it tells me that I have one or more apps on firefox open when I go to cntl/alt/delete is shows me nothing is open. I can not uninstall firefox. it is not my computer since I am using internet eplr. right now. How can I solve this I like firefox and want to continue using it but this is a problem.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, 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 and the updater process.

This means that something in your registry is pointing to a drive that doesn't exist; see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327763

Mavericks will not download from the app store. It shows up under "other purchases" but the action button is grey and will not allow me to install, uninstall or redownload. I meet the system requirements but nothing is working. Any help would be appreciated!
There is nothing wrong with my iTunes, is more of the App store that I am concerned about. And I've tried the "Authorise this computer" yes it does download when using iTunes, but no luck with App Store. And, yes I am logged onto iTunes when doing purchases.
I find this really fustrating because the App store works fine on my ipod but once it comes to my macbook, it does not download. A few seconds later after I click on an app to download, the pop up message notifies me that the purchase cannot be downloaded.
Anyways, thanks for your suggestion. -
