Just updated - Prefs not saved - None of the posted solutions work

I just updated to 3.6.8 and found that the prefs are not saved. I cannot apply any themes and the "Firefox Updated" tab won't go away, I tried all the solutions presented here http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved and none worked.
- I have Macaffe and it was set properly
-The user.js file is completely empty
- prefs.js and prefs-n.js do not exit in the directory
Unfortunately, nothing worked. Any thoughts short of doing a complete uninstall?
Thanks!

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
See [[Basic Troubleshooting|#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • YouTube Comments Won't Load... None of the Posted Solutions Work

    I've tried clearing cache, removing cookies, even resetting Firefox.... (I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox.) I still keep getting the "loading" icon with the circle dots cycling in the YouTube comments. I included the "troubleshooting information" below.
    I've spent about five hours trying to fix this. (I didn't expect to pound on this so long.) Please help. Thank you.

    What is strange is in the Web console, when the comments eventually loaded after I updated to version 33, the google+api seems to be called.
    Are your addons blocking scripts on the page?

  • My iPod Touchs Wi-fi is greyed out, and none of the apple solutions work

    My iPod randomly just disconnected from the wifi one day, after like a year and a half of no probs. Now it cant even recognise my wifi, and wont let me select the wifi option! None of the apple solutions work! anyone know any other solutions?! x

    If you tried here and still have the problem it is time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. It is a hardware problem.
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

  • Invalid SIM - none of the usual solutions work

    We got AT&T to unlock an iphone 4 that we had used in the States and then taken abroad. Spoke with them several times to confirm the phone is unlocked.
    Then downloaded latest OS, did a backup and restore over iTunes, reset it to factory settings. We have now tried 3 different SIM cards to activate the phone with, but always get the "SIM not valid" message ("only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate phone..."etc). These SIM cards all work just fine in our other iphones 4 and 4s. So - its not a SIM card issue, and the phone is on the latest OS. Trouble is, AT&T say its no longer their problem, and we live in a country where there are no Apple stores (Lebanon).
    Any ideas anyone? We really need to use this phone :(. Thanks.

    Yeah, but if officially unlocked, updating will not lock it back again.
    Anyway as said before, nothing can be done here in this forum. You have to call AT&T.

  • Since upgrading to V4 all my bookmarks are missing and none of the posted 'fixes' work for me. What do I do now?

    Since upgrading to v4 it seems that all of my bookmarks have not been copied across. I've tried the fixes posted to restore them but they don't work for me. I can find the bookmarks folder in Windows but it won't import.
    My system is running Win XP SP3 with Pentium dual core processor with 1 Gb of RAM.

    Sorry, cor-el, but none of the suggestions worked. I tried deleting the more recent backups created by Firefox so that it would re-build the bookmarks from an earlier backup, but even this failed.
    I'm going to try uninstalling Firefox 4 altogether then re-installing after first saving the last 'good' version of my bookmarks back-ups somewhere safe and replacing them later. I'll let you know how it goes.
    If this doesn't work and unless someone can come up with a fix, I have to reconcile myself to the prospect that this latest version has trashed my bookmarks never to return - much to my disappointment and disgust. Firefox has never done this before and for me it has 'lost its edge' as a preferred brower.

  • I cannot load one trusted website, none of the suggested solutions work, fixed Norton 360 as recommended, cleared all history, but still I get "The connection was reset", I get the website using Internet Explorer - help please!

    I'm running Windows 7 (64 bit) with Mozilla 5.0 and Norton 360 4.3.0.5. I used to be able to load the website URL below, but it stopped loading about a month ago. I've tried all the suggested solutions without success. All other browsing is fine, The owners of the website say that they have NOT blocked my access.

    I see the same with Google Chrome.

  • Iphone 4s not charging: none of the troubleshooting options work

    Hi! Last night I plugged the phone to the wall charger and it started charging as usual, but this morning it wasn't charging and the battery was at 50%. Unfortunately now it has been off battery for many hours already, and tried everything I saw online (restoring, restarting, etc, but even pressing both buttons, nothing happens). I also tried cleaning the connector, but again, nothing.
    Do you have any other options before I take it to my local apple representative? (I-m in Buenos Aires, Argentina)
    Thanks!

    I will add that when connected to the computer, itunes doesn't recognize it as in there (as when it is turned off)

  • Firefox can't load gmail while safari can. none of the "help" solutions work. help!

    see above. i've cleared cache and cookies, etc, etc, and nothing helps. this is so frustrating.

    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • Problems HotSync'ing - none of the existing solutions work

    I have had problems with HotSyncing my Centro since I first got it. I was willing to let them slide, until I realized that without a copy of my data on my PC, I may not be able to migrate to the next generation device. I receive the typical "synchronization aborted" messages for Datebook (Calendar), Address (Contacts) & ToDo (Tasks). Memos is fine. I am using the version of the desktop & hotsync that came with the device (6.2.2 & 7.0.2), and syncing to the Palm desktop (not Outlook). I have tried the "rename the directories & let HotSync recreate them" fix, but it doesn't work.I have for the past month been copying the database from my Centro's main memory to the SD card as a stop gap backup, but as I said, that won't help me move to a new device, when the time comes. I have tried dbScan, but that results in a reset of the device. I have tried DBFixIt, but it finds no problems with the databases. How can I get a copy of my data to my PC, for future upgrade purposes?
    Post relates to: Centro (Unlocked GSM)

    P.S. It's a Bell device (not available in the drop down) & the "new username" solutions, while it seems to work, is not viable - I have too many programs that rely on my username.

  • No Menu bar. None of the proferred solutions works.

    I am migrating from Windows XP to Linux Mint on a separate computer which came with Firefox pre-installed. The latter appeared to work well until the lack of a Bookmark tab alerted me to the fact that I had no Menu bar. I have tried all the solutions I can find but to no avail. Right-clicking the Tab bar, for example, yields only 'Hide Toolbars' and 'Exit Full Screen Mode' as the drop-down options whilst right-clicking anywhere else on the screen also fails to reveal the Taskbar Hide/Show options. Without the Menu bar I obviously have no Customize option and for similar reasons have been forced to use an alternative Windows XP computer to send this report. Clearly, no additional information relating to the operation of Firefox on this computer will be of use in troubleshooting the situation on my Linux machine.

    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
    Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.

    You can force quit by holding the power button down for extended period.
    During boot up hold down the Option key and choose your Macintosh HD OSX.
    In >System Preferences> Startup Disk>choose your internal OSX System as Default.

  • HT201263 None of the above have worked. Ipad completely bricked. This began when merely updating IOS software as instructed. Now Apple want to charge me for using their crappy software as directed. Surely this is not only immoral but potentially illegal.

    Read: iPad Troubleshooting Assistant
    That procedure eventually leads you to the need to restore it.
    Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
    Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. Be patient since it sometimes takes several of these attempts before you are successful.
    If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links. 
    Select the iPad in iTunes and choose "restore from backup". This assumes you have a backup. If you do not, you will have to download all your purchased iTunes content again. You do not have to pay for anything you already purchased.
    If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.

  • I just purchased Lightroom 5 back on 15th of February, and v6 is now available. Do I understand correctly that I have to buy the new version for $149.00? Free updates are not available/included with the purchase for some time after the purchase?

  • HT4623 Since I installed the new update, my search feature will not work. It will only search my ipad. None of the searh engines work in Safari

    Since I installed the new operating System, my search feature does not work. I can only search my ipad. None of the search engines work in Safari. How do I fix it?

    Just just to make sure, you do not see something like this when you try to do a search in Safari?
    Try clearing Safari in Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and data. Then close Safari. Double tap the home button and drag the mini Safari window up toward the top of the screen in the multitasking display in order to close the app. Now reboot the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.
    Try Safari again.
    The Spotlight Search feature on the iPad search) no longer searches the web, that is simply the way that Spotlight works now. Sort of a backwards move IMO but somewhat typical of Apple these days.

  • "Updated images not saved" filter

    Hi,
    I would like an option to search images that has been updated but not saved. I dont write automatically and to be sure I save all images. But if I cluld filter it out it would be better.
    - Terje

    Terje,
    As a workaround, you can go to your top-most folder and use the filter bar to sort by Edit Time.  This will put the images most recently edited at the top and make it easier to just select those with the "needs updating" icon.
    As a side-note, if you select the entire catalog and hit Ctrl-S, my understanding and experience indicates that it only updates those that need updating and quickly skips over the other images.  This is what I do now when I want to make sure I have updated all changes.  Scanning the entire catalog of say 10,000 images only takes an additional minute or so.  You can check by doing a complete catalog update twice in a row, the second time is the scan time with no changes being made.
