My Firefox browser will not load since I installed the new Yosemite OS on my iMac. I'm I alone with this experience? Any ideas on a fix? Just asking.

The Firefox application pops up but will not load . All I get is the spinning ball that I need to force close. Rebooting doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas for a fix?

Hello BobbyRiley, any luck if you '''trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install ?
1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Mac Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.
thank you

Firefox 6 will not load when I click the icon. I have tried to uninstall it, both through the control panel and geong straight to help.exe. In both cases nothing happens. How do I uninstall this program?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I downloaded the new version and it has reverted to the old and will not let me re-install the new because it thinks it is installed

I downloaded the new version of Pages and it has reverted to the old version. It will not let me re-install the new version because it thinks it has it installed

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store.

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite.

Has anyone's screen go blank and not boot up after installing the new yosemite OS

has anyone's screen go blank and not boot up after installing the new yosemite OS

Hi Mofimac,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your Mac is only starting up to a blank gray or white screen after updating OS X, you can find some useful troubleshooting steps in this article:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
I recommend going through these first three sections first:
Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables
Perform a Safe Boot
Reset the NVRAM / PRAM
Best Regards,

My Firefox browser will not load up. When I click on the icon, a small Windows Vista message appears "Couldn't load XPCOM.". How can I correct this problem?

Many thank!

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
WARNING: Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device! See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

Any errors in the Web Developer > Error Console (Ctrl+Shift+J) or Web Console (Web Developer > Web Console;Ctrl+Shift+K)?

Are you using relative links to the image files? 
Can you post (part of) the code?
Make sure that you are using forward slashes in the file paths and not backslashes.
Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).

My pictures application will not open since i got the new ios5 update

After I updated my Iphone to the new ios5 i can no longer open the pictures app and my phone won't allow me to take or save pictures. The HDR feature ruined my phone and tech is less than helpful with fixing this problem. I have restored, turned off, rebooted, closed and messed with this phone and nothing works. This is an apple software problem not mine. They owe me a new phone for their terrible new software. I am highly dissatisfied and this further proves why apple is a bad product.

After update finished-browser will not load on user site

i upgraded to firefox 4 from 3.6. when the upgrade finished- the browser will not load on one of my user sites. the upgrade froze half way through and the computer restarted on that site. no matter how many times i try to finish the upgrade, it gives me the same results- the browser will not load even though the upgrade window tells me it is finished-every time i try to open the browser window it never comes up

I googled my problem and found myself at some place with a link
This was not an Adobe Forum.
I clicked the link (legitimate) and the update was perfect.
When I first went to adobe to update , it failed. Gave me some error thing.[ I never update from a popup.]
Only from the real website. I tried to get help from chat and they referred me to the forum where I guess you found my question.
I hope this helps someone. All is good now.
