Since upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 both Internet Explorer and Firefox will not recognize the numbers keys of my keyboard. I get numbers in Word and every other situation, just not in the internet programs.

If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
*Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
*Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML

Firefox will not allow Flash player to work. How do I enable Flash to work in Firefox? Thank you.

Question
Firefox will not allow Flash player to work. Every site that uses Flash player gives me a message saying that I need to update to the latest version of Flash player, but I have done so, and I keep getting the same message. How do I enable Flash to work in Firefox? Thank you.

You can hold down the Shift key and double click the Firefox desktop icon to start Firefox in [[Safe mode]].

I have Garage band 11- it will not recognize my older jam packs. How do I get the program to recognize those packs?

I have garage band 11. It will not recognize my older jam packs. What do I need to do to make the program recognize them?

GarageBand '11 works well with all JamPacks.
It will not recognize my older jam packs. What do I need to do to make the program recognize them?
What do you mean by "not recognize them"? What is happening?
How did you upgrade to GarageBAnd '11? Did you simply install it on top of '09? Then all loops and instruments hould still be working. Or how did you upgrade?

Firefox will not start, the error message says it has been removed from my system - although I didn't take it off.

Firefox worked fine for me last night, today when I tried to open it the error message read that windows could not find the file and firefox was probably removed from my system, thus why it wouldn't work. I tried running the program and starting a new profile, but no firefox files seem to be left.

TS1277 I bought a new computer and itunes request me to authorize the new computer. Howerver it is using an email address I have not had for over 4 years and will not accept my current authorization information. How do I get it to accept my new computer

After purchasing a new computer I downloaded itunes and signed in to my account. Everything was fine including my current email address. When I connected my iPod and it started to cink, I go a message that the computer had to be authorized our my music would be removed. When I clicked on the authorize button I got a sign in that had an email address I have not had in almost 3 years. When I put my current logon and password in itunes would not accept it. When I clicked help it offered to send help to my old email address which I have not way of accessing. How do I get my computer to accept my iPod if I cannot enter the current logon and password information?

We are having this same issue. We have over 200 songs that are now missing and only our most recent ones show up in our ITunes library. Fortunately we have one phone that still has all of our music still in tact. This phone is no longer one I will be using as I upgraded to the Iphone 6, and only the most recent purchased songs remain. The rest are no where to be found and the iTunes store shows that I would need to re-purchase. Not sure what to do as when I tried to sync my last phone, all the songs were gone.

FireFox will not start, I even uninstalled it and reinstalled and cannot get it to open. When I click on the icon it seems like something is about to happen and then nothing does. No processes activate it Windows Task Manager either.

If i install firefox will it discard the older version of firefox automaticly?

i'm afraid i'll lose all my bookmarks if i install a new firefox. my old one acts funny.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often

Your Firefox settings and info are kept in a folder separate from the Firefox program, called your profile folder. See [[Profiles]].
Whenever you update Firefox, you profile is kept in tact.

My system needs internet explorer for a application I need to down load, however I need to down load the latest yahoo tool bar for internet explorer to work properly and firefox will not allow the down load of yahoo toolbar. How do I fix this?

I have not used Internet explorer since downloading firefox and I need IE for a trading platform that I need to use. In order to get IE working I apparently need to down load the latest version of Yahoo toolbar, however when I try to down load the tool bar Firefox will not allow the down load of that file.

Thank you so much, for once in my computer life I knew what the problem was, what caused it, why it was caused, what it did, what it made it do and most importantly how to fix it and to do it correctly and expeditiously. I can not Thank You all enough for all of the help! I also have Pogo mailed this to all on my friends list, where they have all learned as I have and have fixed theirs also. and the message is being spread.

Firefox will not start on limited account. Reports firefox already running but doesn't show in task manager. Adminstrator account work fine

Firefox will not start on limited accounts. It reports firefox already running. This happens even if no other users are logged on. Administrator accounts have no problems accessing firefox

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-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)

lightroom 5 on a Mac os 10.8.5 will not start. It fails to open. And it worked fine the other day.

Reh... Doesn't work on my 2012 Mac mini. A function key set in Sys Prefs worked in Leopard and Lion on my MB but I cannot get any key to work using SysPref Dictation & Speech. It is befuddling and now I have to go to Edit-Speech to turn on and turn off speech to selected text.
I have used Macs and Apple 2es since cave man days and Apple is becoming so befuddling I am wondering if there is even an advantage to it over Windows XP. I spent a lot on this little box, it looks good (the first one had to be exchanged as it wouldn't link to my keyboard ???) but Apple intuitive does no longer seem meaningful.
If speech to text no longer is accessible by short cuts using Fkeys, why bother to have it in Syst Prefs?
Apple is losing its way. The pleasure is gone and no one at Apple seems to care.

After removing system fonts and reinstalling fonts, FireFox will not start

After removing system fonts and reinstalling fonts, FireFox will not start! When I start FireFox the "Mozilla Crash Reporter" opens as if FF just crashed??? I don't see any records in event viewer. I am using FF v3.6.3 on a Windows 7 box. I tried uninstalling 3.6.3 and installing 3.0.18 and had the same problem!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

The files with submitted crash report ids are inside the ''submitted '' directory, from the directory you found the LastCrash.txt timestamp file.
The file names will begin with '''bp-'''
There might be more information from the crash report, but it might just tell us you are crashing the first time Firefox tries to use a font.
One thing I suppose you could do is select only those fonts you've got in Tools -> Options -> Content -> Fonts and Colors -> Advanced and then uncheck the '''Allow pages to use their own fonts''' option.
See http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+window+-+Content+panel#Fonts_Dialog
To be honest, I can't find anything on this Netscape Font Navigator and it sounds highly dubious.
