Live Chat won't work and Firefox freezes as soon as I open it and click on something once but if I then open a second Firefox window it seems to work OK.
I had drafted a message about my Firefox freezing up when opened and, before I hit "Post Question," I tried to check to see what add-ons I have. Somehow that opened a new page on top of the one I was on. When I tried to back up to my message to hit the "Post Question" button, I got this screen which doesn't ask for my username and e-mail address and seems to assume my message got sent. So here's the question: Is this the first or second question you've received from me? If the first, then I have to find a way to start over.
While I'm asking question, why is it so hard to find out in Firefox 4.0 what add-ons I have installed? And why can't I go forward and back in any tab to any of the screens opened under that tab? 4.0 should be an improvement, not a degradation.
Thank you.
The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

I have updated to snow leopard and I cannot get iPhoto to work or find anywhere to download the appropriate version. I have 8.1.2 but it will not open. What do I need to do?
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

My son's ipod touch is not charging because the screen turns white and it freezes up. Trying to reset it and figure out the problem but don't kno what to do.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

after upgraded to 3.6.6, firefox freezes on flash sites. After several right clicks it seems to unfreeze. Latest flash plugin already installed. Same happens on new profile & after clean mozilla installation. Any idea?

This fixed it. Ironic that the plugin Firefox used to prevent freezes actually causes freezes. This so fixed my problem. http://www.technogadge.com/how-to-stop-firefox-plugin-container-exe-process/

On my iPad, I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options. I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2. I have rebooted the iPad and that did not help, and reinstalled iBooks, which also changed nothing. Thanks for any ideas!
Yup, it was uploaded to our school Wiki as a PDF, and Pages did open it. I was then able to move it to iBooks, but I'd rather avoid the extra steps.

I just got a Mac and I use the same internet connection as my mom and my brother, who has an iPad. He can click on something that has my name and then Macbook Air, and is able to see everything on my computer screen. How do I fix this so he cant see what i am doing on my computer?
No, I made sure nothing was checked for that section when i found out he could see my screen. At the top it says "computers on your local network can access your computer at: blah blah". I think thats how hes doing it but i dont know how to fix it.

Occasionally hotmail will open just fine but I cannot access any of my listed e-mails or files. At the same time everything works just fine in Chrome. Eventually the problem on Mozilla sorts itself out somehow and I can then open e-mail through that browser again. I don't make any changes on my system to correct the problem.
Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

''When you figure out what is causing that, please let us know. It might help other user's who have that problem.'' -
My old Vista computer died, but I had backup of my old Firefox .json bookmark files and installed this folder on my new window's 7 computer's desktop. But I can't seem to open these files (windows cant find a program to open them with, and I don't seem to have .json files in my file association list) or import them into the new computer's Firefox bookmarks list.
That's great, matthungo, I'm glad it worked and you've got your Bookmarks back. Wishing you and yours a wonderful and blessed Holiday season as well!

For the past few months, my Mac has been acting weird. EVERY time I boot up the computer, Messages opens automaticallly (I am runing OS X 10.8.x). I quit the app, but it just re-opens a few seconds later! It just won't stay off! I've looked it up online and nothing helps. I have no idea what to do!!!
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2. -
I like to work with about 6 tabs open on Firefox and typically this has been absolutely fine. Starting around November 2011 each time I have multiple tabs open when I open a new gmail message, or open an order or any other action within an open page a message pops up that reads
Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data!
then that site immediately opens in a new browser window.
I do not have this issue with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer but I would rather use Firefox. I ran McAfee an extra time thinking it might be a virus but that did not help. Any ideas?That issue can be caused by the McAfee Site Advisor extension
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Every time i access the net two screens come up, one with my home site and the other with "Firefox is up to date", usually the later disappears after the first use, but it now stays there every time i try to use the net
Thank you for your assistance. It was a corrupted preference file and your post resolved my problem. I have had a number of problems with preference file under lion.

I also noticed when I tried using my Flashlight app I get a message that says another app is using your LED. Is this all inter-related? How can I find out what other app is using my LED?
Thanks for getting in touch! It’s so frustrating to have a new phone and not be able to use one of the most important features.
When I try to turn the camera on, the screen goes black for a couple seconds, almost like the camera is turning on, but there’s something blocking the lens. Then the camera just turns off, and the screen goes back to my home screen.
I have tried uninstalling the Flashlight app, but that did not resolve the issue.
One other thing I have noticed in recent days is my battery is draining really fast. I can’t even get through the day without charging my phone. That was not the case a week ago. In fact, that was one of the best things about this new phone. It could go all day, and the battery not need recharging. Could there be an app running that is zapping all my battery power and using that LED???

I get a long load time when I open firefox 35. Then cannot connect to server, however i can then open websites fine via my bookmarks list. Tries reinstalling, did not help, made google my homepage in options, does not help.
Does this happen every time? Or is it only when your computer is first turned on/waken up?
If you open another browser (Internet Explorer/Chrome/...) does it do the same thing?
I might be that your computer takes a few seconds to (re-)establish its network connectivity after sleeping. Try this
#Click Start
#Type Computer Management
#Click the first result or push enter
#Click '''Device Manager'''
#Expand network adapters
#Right click on your network adapter then click '''Properties'''
#Click on '''Power Management'''
#Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" -
Firefox completely freezes when I open it (don't have to click on anything, or do anything). I read that Hyper-Threading could be the issue on Pentium 4 machines. I'm on a Pentium, so I gave it a shot. When in campatiblity, it loads, but when I try to open a page, it crashes (comes up with the Mozilla crash reporter thing).
When it does freeze up, the CPU usage never goes above normal (rarely goes above 0%), and memory is within sain range (~20MB).
I have completely uninstalled (removed bookmarks, addons, everything) and reinstalled, and it doesn't help. I have also tried Firefox 4, and 3.5 both have the same issue.
This tells me it's something with my boxes setup, but I'm not sure where to look. Any help would be appreciated.Solved it.
Apparently, the check box "remove all personal/user data" in the uninstall does not actually "remove all personal/user data". That really should be addressed. I had to:
1. Uninstall Firefox
2. Delete %USERDATA%/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox
3. Reinstall Firefox
Now it works. (I'm posting from Firefox.) Apparently, something was corrupted.
