Mozilla will not allow me to update flash player and java and keeps saying 'oops crashed' i need to uninstall it but nothing works

Please help me uninstall mozilla. I downloaded it ages ago but didn't use it. I have Vista 32 bit computer. Every time I try to update java or flash a box pops up from mozilla to say it's crashed and wont let me update.

I would have preferred to help you get Mozilla Firefox working, although I will admit that Firefox is currently having some problems with FlashPlayer on Windows. Note by the way that FlashPlayer for Internet Explore is a completely different installation.
Instructions for uninstalling Mozilla Firefox are here:
* [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer]]
If you have not used Firefox you will have no saved passwords or bookmarks to worry about, but most users would normally wish to transfer these where possible to another computer if so see
* [[Export bookmarks to Internet Explorer]]
*also this list of help articles [/products/firefox/download-and-install]
I have not attempted to provide a solution to crashes, but there are several help articles on that, and on Flash issues and java.

  • Windows 7 internet security will not allow the installation of Flash Player 17 Update

    Windows 7 internet security will not allow the installation of the Flash Player 17 update.  I have tried the direct install using the IE_AX update without success.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the screenshot.  It's very helpful. Essentially, this is an issue with the internet security settings on your machine (Internet Explorer > Internet Options > Security), and not a Flash Player issue.  I Googled "internet security settings prevented one or more files from opening' and it returned numerous hits.  I'm posting a few for you, however, I'm not endorsing any of them.  I recommend you search your self and select one you feel comfortable with.

  • After I updated to iOS 7, my iCloud account is showing the incorrect email address for my Apple ID but will not allow me to change it- it's gray and I can't click on it. How do I fix this?

    After I updated to iOS 7, my iCloud account is showing the incorrect email address for my Apple ID but will not allow me to change it- it's gray and I can't click on it. How do I fix this?

    If you change your email, you do not need to "change" your AppleID. Just edit your email(s) on your Apple ID by logging in to your AppleID account. You should always use the same AppleID for  Apple Services (iCloud, iTunes etc) and multiple ID will cause problems and confusion in the future.

    The iCloud storage is meant for your backup, you do not get more space on iPhone.

  • My iPad 2 will not allow me to update my apps. When I hit the update button I get a spinning circle but then it times out and doesn't update. Please help.

    My iPad 2 will not allow me to update my apps. When I hit the update button I get a spinning circle but then it times out and doesn't update. In the past when I have updated successfully, the spinning circle would show me an indicator of time left on the update. I no longer have this Indicator. The circle just spins and times out and nothing happens. I've reset the iPad in the settings menu, reset the router, logged in and out of Apple id, powered ithe iPad off and on, and tried a couple other "fixes" that I've read online. So far no luck. AAny help would be greatly appreciated. Much thanks!

    OS 10.9.2 will not allow me to update my old iPhoto app. I upgraded computer from a PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro and migrated my data onto the new machine. I had iPhoto '09 installed running on 10.5.8.Now on 10.9.2 and I get  get a message that iPhoto was registered to another user and that I will need to purchase my own copy. Not sure why since I've always used the same account and its my only account. Isn't Mavericks supposed to come pre-loaded with the latest version of iPhoto?

    This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto qualify for a free upgrade to 9.5.1 and which require a purchase;

  • Mt iPad will not allow me to update my apps. My username and password are correct and I can buy apps with no problem but when I try and update it just says "cannot open iTunes"

    My iPad will not allow me to update apps although I have no problem buying new ones. It says "cannot connect to iTunes" each time I try.

    Same problem for me, too.  It happens on my iPad, iPhone, and iMac.  Weird because I have great Internet connectivity and I can log into and view my iTunes account.  I've downloaded three new apps with no problem.  But my iPad shows 14 apps needing updates, my iPhone shows 2, and my iMac shows 1.  In all cases, clicking on "update" and entering the password results in the message, "Cannot connect to iTunes Store".  It's the same result across multiple WiFi networks, even after resetting them.
    I'll see if someone at the Genius Bar can help and then I will repost.

    Restart your phone, and if you can connect it to a computer and update it from iTunes instead of through wifi.

    Mail is crashing while processing junk. Try this:
    1. Make sure Mail is not running.
    2. In the Finder, go to HOME/Library/Mail/.
    3. Locate LSMMap2 and move it to the Trash. If you see an LSMMap file there, move it to the Trash too.
    4. Locate MessageRules.plist and move it to the Desktop. If there is a file called MessageRules.plist.backup, move it to the Desktop too. You may also see MessageSorting.plist files there; this is where Mail 1.x stored the rules, and they are no longer used by Mail 2.0, so just move them to the Trash if you see them.
    5. Look for the account folders. The name of each account folder starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. Open each of the account folders, locate the Junk.mbox folders and move these to the Trash. Note: As a result of doing this, all mail automatically marked as junk by Mail will be lost. If there is a chance that you have legit messages there and you want to preserve them, move them to another mailbox in Mail first -- you may prevent Mail from crashing by shutting down your Internet connection first.
    6. Go to HOME/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. Locate any Junk.mbox folders there (their name may include the account name in parenthesis), and move them to the Trash. Pay attention to any legit messages that could be there, as in the previous step.
    7. Launch Mail. Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk filtering again, and configure it however you wish. You may want to shut down the Internet connection before launching Mail to prevent it from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled.
    If the above solves the problem and you don't have any rules you'd like to preserve or recreating them is not a daunting task, just delete the MessageRules.plist files that were moved to the Desktop and be done with it.
