New download of Firefox v. 3.6 for Vista seems very slow. Can anyone think of why this would happen?

April 5th, 2011:
First, I didn't install Firefox 4 because it doesn't support Norton 360 and the related toolbar which is crucial to me. So I installed 3.6 which I have used before which was corrupted by a Trojan virus I was infected with. I had to uninstall everything and in the interim I used IE8. I re-installed Firefox 3.6 yesterday and the only add-on I installed was the Yahoo! Toolbar for Firefox.
Added on April 6th, 2011:
Also, I forgot to add that often times I am waiting while the top of the screen says "Mozilla Firefox" - (Not Responding) which is what I went through with IE8. I'm getting VERY frustrated.
Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this question as I am VERY behind in my work due to all of this "mess". :(

Norton has released a patch to address incompatibility issues with Firefox 4. See [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Firefox-4-compatibility-hotfix-is-now-available/td-p/428894 Norton Compatibility patch Firefox 4.0]
If you would like to update to Firefox 4.0, please do that ''before ''you install the Norton patch. Update via Help | Check For Updates preferably.
If the problem persists, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
The '''Browserplus '''plugin you have installed will almost certainly cause Firefox to hang occasionally and it would be wise to disable it via Tools | Add-ons | Plugins.
You also need to update Flash to v10.2.159.1 which also patches a recently discovered Zero Day exploit. See [http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/Adobe-releases-security-update-for-Flash-Player-1228930.html Adobe releases security update for Flash Player]
You can update Flash via http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Similarly, your Shockwave For Director plugin is also out of date which may cause Firefox to hang if the video requires a newer version. Update that via http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
Last but not least, consider disabling the Yahoo ActiveX plugin via Tools | Add-ons | Plugins. ActiveX is a Microsoft technology which is frequently targeted by hackers. By installing it in Firefox, you're comprising the browser's security and potentially exposing your system to attack. Firefox can open any Yahoo page without requiring ActiveX to be installed.

I updated to Firefox 4 and there's no orange Firefox button and the Menu Bar is still there (File, Edit, View, etc.). Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

As the question states, I tried updating from Firefox 3 to Firefox 4 two different ways and though I see a difference, it's definitely not all of Firefox 4. I updated with the auto update installer and downloaded the exe and installed and it's still not right. I don't have the new Firefox style or the Infamous Orange Firefox button. My Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, Etc...) is still there as well. The only thing that has really changed is the tabs going above the URL bar. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

To get the new style UI you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.

I have 1.7 g of space left on my Ipad but the app store will not let me download garage band on to my iPad with is only 808mb can some one tell why this is happening. Thanks

Loads of space but not letting me download garage band on to my iPad and comes up with pop up saying not anough space on the iPad

When the app is downloaded it will expand as all app downloads do. You are downloading a "compressed installer" in a manner of speaking. When the app expands it will be larger than the space that you have left on the device.
App downloads on a computer work the same way,

Several times I've downloaded albums from iTunes to find that some of the tracks did not get fully downloaded so that the track with skip to the next one. Can someone tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it?

Several times I've downloaded an album from iTunes to find that not all of the tracks were fully downloaded so that some of the tracks will skip to the next one (instead of finishing the song). Can anyone tell me why this happens and how I can fix it?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies.
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

Sorry, no further idea what can cause this.
Is the shortcuts file truely saved to disk? You can find in the user path, where the preferences and presets are stored for PS. Or if you go to the dialog again where you change shortcuts, is it reverted there too?

Yes my brand new i phone 5c keeps making a funny buzzing sound every so otter can anybuddy tell me why this keeps happening..?

yes my brand new i phone 5 c keeps making a funny buzzing sound every few seconds can somebuddy tell me why this is thanks so much :.?

There's no telling what could be causing the funny buzzing sound.
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If the buzzing continues, return the iPhone.

Firefox keyboard layout changes to something I don't recognize, the traditional [ QWERTY ] reads as [ ',.pyf ] any idea why this would happen or how to change it back short of killing firefox and restarting.

This happens randomly and infrequently. At first I thought it was my cats fault but it has recently happened while I was sitting at the computer with no feline interference. If someone could let me know how, if it's possible, to change the keyboard layout to QWERTY I will try this next time it happens to see if it can be corrected without restarting firefox. For a larger sample I will include the lines below:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
yd. 'gcjt xpr,b urq hgmlo rk.p yd. na;f eri
This is only effecting firefox, no other programs are changed and it does effect all running and new instances of firefox.

See:
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/The-Language-bar-overview - The Language bar (overview)
It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.
* Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar.
* You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar.
* Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar.
* You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application.
* The default keys to rotate the layout is a combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that can easily be used in Firefox to activate a menu item.
* To avoid an unintentional switch assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctr+Shift)
* Vista: Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards > Advanced key settings > Change key sequence

Firefox crashes every time i try to open any page - do you know why this is happening - it only started when i downloaded the new verion of firefox.

firefox has started crashing every time i try to upload a new page. This has only started happening since i downloaded firefox 4.

The CrashIDs are what is needed. Do not attempt to attach or paste the reports.
#Run Firefox in safe mode does that prevent crashes ?<br/>[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
#Disable all plugins
#Repeat and this time try in Windows safe mode. use the F8 key <br /> http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7
So you are saying it works ok as long as you avoid certain pages such as this Forum. That makes me wonder if it could be malware that is blocking access to assistance.Run malwarescans with multipe and up-to-date tools.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

I am trying to download my husband's itunes from his ipod to his new shuffle WITHOUT loading all his songs (which I don't care for) into my computer. Can anyone walk me though this?

I am trying to sync songs from my husband's new shuffle from his old ipod. I do not want these songs to go in MY computer--I already have my own playlist. I don't know how to keep his songs separate from mine, using my computer.

If it shows up in iTunes:
What happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

If it was previously been synced to a another computer/iTunes library the you can:
- Only sync using the manual method and then ony sync music and videos to the iPod.
- To sync all media yo need to:

TS1702 My applications are not downloading.. All I get is "waiting" can someone tell me why this is happening?

When I download an app it doesn't download automatically any more.. I've only had my iPad less than a month.
Just wondering why it has decided to change? X

Here are a number of things that you can try.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons
And you can always finish the app updates in iTunes on your computer and then sync them to the iPad.

I logged into my friend's account on game center, but when i entered my details to log back in to my account, it just kept on loading and nothing has happened for a few days. Can anyone help me stop this or somehow solve this?

I tried logging into my account but now all that you can see in Settings>Game Center is the loading sign under a bar that has my apple id inside it.
Thank you very much

Hey Akila020,
First, try force closing the Game Center app:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
from: iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5137
And if that doesn't work, I would reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
from: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
And if that doesn't resolve the issue then I would backup the device to iTunes and restore it. Just be cautious and back up first, since restoring deletes all content and settings:

I saved my file as a regular Indesign file, and when I went to open it on a different computer it had a lock on it and will not let me open it. Can someone please explain why this is happening and how to unlock it? It's for a very important and urgent pro

Please help if you can!

Assuming the file is stored on a network server, and the "other computer" is on that network as well; with InDesign not running on either, navigate to the folder where the InDesign file is stored and find the lock file (it will have the extension .idlk). Delete it.

Richtextbox tools bar menu is not display for Firefox and chrome. Any idea why this is happening?

Hello,
I have added RichTextField in custom webpart. I have added tag like below
<SharePoint:InputFormTextBox ID="RichTextField1" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" RichTextMode="FullHtml" Columns="20" Rows="10" RichText="true" />
We are able to see Richtextbox tools bar menu in IE browser but it's not working for other browser like chrome and Firefox.
Can anyone suggest us why this is happening?
Any help would be appreciable.
Thanks,
Lovkesh Patel

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the richtextbox tool bar menu not display in non_IE browser.
The richtext box not supported in Non-IE browser, it leads to the issue.
Here are some similar thread for your reference:

Can anyone tell me why a picture would change color when I try to download/upload it? It is the exact same picture- chosen the same way and when it goes to any other program it changes the color (I've tried canvas on demand and mpixpro. I've also tried

Can anyone tell me why this picture changes color when I try to download/upload it? It is the exact same picture I have taken from the same location. The image on the left is via preview and the image on the right is what is shows like when I try to download it. I have emailed it to myself and it shows fine on the computer and in CS4, but when I look at the download via my phone or on another computer it shows the wonky color on the right. I have checked the color space shows RGB/8 bit. Any ideas why or how to fix it? It isn't with any one specific session.... and I've tried it on both my desktop and my laptop- saved image to an external hard drive and to drop box. I've tried sending the image to canvas on demand, my email, mpxipro, POST editing- all the same result. Please HELP!! What am I doing wrong?

Most of the time you see something like that. The image in question has a color profile other then sRGB. Some image viewers/displayers are color managed and others are not. So the image do not look the same in all of the applications you use. So colors seem to change.
Try converting it to sRGB color and see if then looks the same all around. Also I think PC and Mac displays are set to different gamma something like 1.8 and 2.2
Though I'm colorblind I even see color variations.

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
Audiobooks (and ringtones) are currently a one-time only download. I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them who are requiring the one-time only download restriction. To get it onto your other devices you will need to sync it via a computer. Depending upon what country that you are in, Audible.com have their own app (Audiobooks from Audible) so you might be able to buy direct from them, though I don't know whether you can buy within their app or download audiobooks directly from them within the app e.g. whether they need to be copied via a computer.
