Just downloaded Firefox 23 update and now links that show up in my browser searches redirect to other pages

I downloaded the new update to Firefox 23 (I wasn't sure about it because it looked very weird and behaved differently) and immediately when I clicked on some (not all) of my bookmarks I was redirected to other pages I have never seen before. Also, when I used either Bing or Google search engines, when I click on one of the links given by the search I got redirected to those same odd pages every time. I closed Firefox and ran a virus scan, and even though it caught the usual number of tracking cookies and malware, they were all the same ones it usually catches. I could not find any strange extensions or plugins in the Firefox list, other than the plugins page now has a tab by every item that shows "always activate". Are you hearing from other people about similar problems?

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

I just downloaded my latest update and my Ipad just defaults to my home screen. I was reading a book on Overdrive before t.he download and whe I now Tory to open it just. Takes me to mt home screen. The same with Safari. Any thoughts.

Try a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously you see the Apple logo and then release.

I just downloaded Firefox 5.0 and now I find out that my university's course management system won't run on it. I need to go back to 3.5+ and can't find a way to download THAT!

When I go to Download it at your website it only gives me the option of the newer one...5.0 . How can I get back to running 3.5+ so I can use the university's course management system?

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

I just posted this info for another person a couple minutes ago...
It appears that Quicken is getting similar support requests based on this article that they posted today. You may want to give them a call or sign up for their email notification when they have a solution.
Quicken Mac 2007 unexpectedly quits whne opening a data file using Snow Leopard
Have you looked at whether you can use the method described in the Intuit article link below to migrate your data from Quicken 2007 to Quicken Essentials format, and then import that to iBank? I have not had to deal with this issue before so all I can do is try to provide possible workarounds. In any case you should back up your Quicken 2007 files before attempting any sort of migration.

Have you tried starting FF in safe mode and then disabling all add-ons and extensions?
Then restart the browser enabling each add-on one by one. I did this and found that Stumbleupon toolbar was the problem for me as my browser was freezing as soon as I started it and going into not responding but with this currently disabled the browser works fine. Just hope there is an update for Stumble soon.

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and now it takes forever to load most websites. I have a old computer and I probably should not have upgraded Firefox. How can I go back to the older version?

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and now I am having problems. Everything is running very, very slow. My computer is old and probably does not have the capacity to fun 4.0 effectively. I would like to return to older Firefox 3.
How can I do this.

You're trying to go through a proxy which isn't working. Assuming you don't normally use a proxy to connect to the internet, do this:
Tools, options, advanced, connection settings, set no proxy.
Causes for this may include anything which monitors or forwards newtork traffic on your computer (tools like fiddler2 or tor). It may also be that you are on a network which requires a proxy to access the intenet (some corporate and university networks do this).

Just downloaded Firefox 6.0 and have restarted 4 plus times, but it continues to hang while launching. I cannot open new windows, change any settings, or do anything but Force Quit. I'm on Mac OSX 10.5.8. How do I get past this hang?

Long story short: Simply get CC for teams. At 500 bucks a year it's a steal and those 5 licenses in the base package (or was it 10 even?) cover all your computers, at least the 3 ones you mentioned. For system requirements refer to the individual product pages.

Download new itunes update and now it wont let me sync

Download new itunes update and now it wont let me sync. Keeps saying I need 26gb of free space which it didn't say before I downloaded the update. It doesn't make sense. It keeps saying:
The iPod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library. (additional 26gb required)
This makes no sense because before the new itunes update there was no problem with me not having enough space. I have 5gb of free space now and I had 5gb of free space before I downloaded the itunes update. Nothing should've changed. And I should not need an extra 26gb of space. How do i fix this problem so I can my ipod normally again.

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
and as necessary:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I just downloaded a Karaoke file and now I don't know what to do with it or how to use it.

I just downloaded a Karaoke file and now I don't know what to do with it or how to use it.
I'm very new at the whole i-tunes idea and would consider myself a total amature!!

All I'm really looking for is a way to sing karaoke songs at home as a rehearsal in case I go out sometime.
I thought the iTunes version would have lyrics or that I could move it with lyrics into a Karaoke program that I downloaded.
Alas, this is beginning to seem like an impossibility.

I too added 2nd apple ID when I tried to get Free app from apple store just to get to NONE on the credit card needed. It said it sent confirmation email to my new apple ID email that I have to confirm. Problem is I can not get to the new apple ID email account. On my ipad it logs into my original email account and I see no where to log into another email account. If I go to my laptop, the new apple ID I created does not let me log into email where apple said it was sent to. It did not send to back up email account either.
Can I log into 2 email accounts on my ipad where it says mail at bottom?
Can I have 2 apple ids?
If I created a 2nd apple id to get to NONE on credit card needed, can't I log into it also on another laptop in gmail?
(won't let me)
If I used my original apple id I created when I got my new ipad, it will not let me get free app without credit card, there is no where it says NONE needed. I am too new to apple to start with credit cards etc until I get use to it.

I downloaded Firefox 4.01 and now when i open a new tab, i get a blank page, instead of my home page. How do I change that? Thanks

I downloaded Firefox 4.01 and now when i open a new tab, i get a blank page instead of my home page. How can I default to my home page when a new tab opens?

You can do that by using an add-on such as:
* NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.
