This isn't the fault of firefox. Firefox is a web browser, not your email provider. I'd suggest contacting them (whoever you use, gmail, yahoo, etc.) and asking for help.

Cooling fan has a fast speed that comes on now and again. is this a problem

hi,
   I mac 21.5 late 2009. osx10.9 pro 3.6 GHz intel core 2 duo. mem 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
   in normal use cooling fan is inaudible. top of machine gets quite to the touch.
   on some occasions at start up the cooling fan fires up at turbo speed and is as noisy as an 8 inch desk fan.
   when in this state it does keep the machine really cool, which is the way i would prefer. anyone know why
   the fan should decide to run on turbo speed sometimes and not others.
   anyone can help i would be really grateful........Phil.

Hi p.growden,
Your iMac has fans in it that are meant to keep it cool when it is under load. You can read more about them in this article -

Cooling fan is not working - How to disasemble Satellite L850

How do you strip a Satellite L850 so as to get to the cooling fan and replace it. The cooling fan became noisy then stopped working and now the laptop is shutting down as it gets too hot.
It is out of Warranty now as well.

Hi
Cooling fan replacement is pretty complicated procedure. Whole notebook must be disassembled and, as you probably know, it should be done by authorized personal only.
Fact is that notebook disassembling procedure must be done by specific order to avoid some damage. Many plastic parts have small plastic holders and if you dont know how to remove certain part can be broken. The whole disassembling procedure is described in maintenance manuals but this document is not a public document and cannot be downloaded.
What to say at this point? You can try to disassemble your machine but you will do this on your own risk. If you dont have experience with this I think it is not so good idea.
Do you know someone who can help you with this?

My mac book air fan is staying on, how can I get it back to normal?

I cna hear the processor or fan in my Mac Book Air, and it won't stop. Has anyone had a similar problem? Does anyone have any ideas about how I might resolve this issue? Thanks for your help!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
First, reset the SMC. It will restore the fan speed, so if it was changed, it will be restored to normal settings and the fan will work correctly

I have a powerbook problem is it keeps going 2 a black screen about 1.5 min right before that happens the fan moter turns on how can i stop that from happen

I have a powerbook g4 that i just bought the problem is it keeps going 2 a black screen every 2min or so when i am on the internet.now right before that happens the fan moter goes on .to get back 2 the page i was on i have 2 hit the return key this is a problem. can any one help me with this problem

Powerbooks have heat sensors that control the fan. The fan can run and not be heard unless the speed increases. If the powerbook thinks it's getting to hot it can start going into a shutdown mode.Thats a safety feature. Now if the sensor is reading heat wrong you might need to reset you PMU- power management control. since I don't know what model powerbook you have, I need to refer you to the apple article on it. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431

Yosemite download issues related to cooling fan

I have spent over 10 hours on the phone with tech support, and 4 days attempting to resolve a download problem on my MBP. After upgrading to Yosemite I attempted to update my primary software package for work and the download continues to stall during download. Apple care told it was the Software's company's fault, the software company pointed me back to Apple. Apple pointed me back to them and they pointed back to Apple - I just want what I have paid for to work as advertised.
Here is where I am at now: I will begin the download and it will progress like normal, then the cooling fan comes on and the download with stop. Several times the progress of the download, in percentage, actually shows to decrease - meaning it goes backwards somehow. I cancel the download and restart the software the cooling fan stops, I restart the download and after a random amount of time the coolings fans start again and the download stalls. I know that this sounds very unrelated but since I noticed this connection it has done it every time since and I have went through this process at least 12 times since first making the connection.
I have followed all of the steps from Apple's senior advisor in checking settings and troubleshooting. She told me that it was the software's problem. The software company tells me their servers are good and then shows me the mountain of reports from Yosemite users that are having similar issues. Meanwhile I'm stuck with a $2500 dollar MBP and a $3000 software investment that I can't use for the purpose that I bought them. When I told Apple care about the fan issue they inferred that I was crazy to think that the cooling fan could be connected - maybe I am.

It's not clear to me if this is an issue within the software package such as with a download feature within a particular software package or software distribution mechanism, or if this is something weird with OS X Yosemite that's causing a problem elsewhere that's effecting this download.
Who is the third-party vendor, and what is the package? Is there a posting from the vendor pointing to the issue?
Has the third-party vendor plans to offer an alternative download path, which would seem reasonable for a case such as this with a "mountain of reports" involved?
Given your long discussion with the vendor and with Apple, have there been specific suggestions you've tried and found haven't worked? Otherwise, we're just going to repeat some of those.
The cooling fan gets involved when something goes compute-bound or otherwise starts looping, either due to a design problem or due to a bug. Adobe Flash Player tends to spool up the fans, for instance.

HP 15-d103tx starts overheating even after changing the Motherboard and cooling fan.

I puchased a laptop before 6 month but it starts overheating in very less time. The motherboard and cooling-fan has been changed but again started overheating in 2 weeks.
Is there problem of intel processor or some other problem??

Dear Customer,
Welcome and Thank You for posting your query on HP Support Forum

Need cooling fan for Satellite A50-542

Hi,
I have a SA50-542 and the cooling fan has packed in.
Any guidance as to where I might be able to get another one?
many thanks dan

Hello Dan
What to say? Either you can contact authorized service provider in your country and try to order one there or you can google around and search if any online shop offer notebook parts.
I do not see any other way to find this hardware component.
Oh yes. You can also check eBay. There you can find many hardware components for different Toshiba notebooks especially for older notebook models.
