Newest version firefox 33.02.2 32-bit lost all my settings and I mean all of them
I have Windows 7 Professional 32-bit Service Pack 1 and before new firefox update to 33.02.2 I had all settings in firefox set and working just fine, bookmarks, add-ons and extensions just the way I wanted it to be and customized the menu just the way I wanted ........ then after update ..... everything was gone like I had done nothing at all. End of story. I am not a programmer, so I do not have a clue why this happen this time nor do I know how to go about fixing this insanity. Never expected this to happen but it did. I cannot see how this version is better at all. Everything worked before and now everything is all gone the best I can tell. I do not know why??? So any detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated as me wading through a 100 pages or more not even knowing what or why this happen in the first place is a little crazy. Any additional information I will be more than happy to provide. I did not have any control over this at all. I have never seen anything like this in my 50 years as a support technician and as fast as this happen. Incredible.
Firefox uses the profiles.ini file to find the default profile, so if anything has gone wrong with this file then Firefox may have created a new profile.
It is also possible that Firefox was reset and that something when wrong with transferring data to the new profile.
You can check if there is only one profile folder in the location that Firefox uses for the profile folders.
You can also check if there in an "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

In Firefox 2.0+ you can go to Advanced JavaScript Settings and check a box to allow scripts to change status bar text. How do I do this is Firefox 10.0.1?
Two items in the Advanced JavaScript window were removed as of the Firefox 4.0 version, but they are still available thru about:config .
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''dom.disable_window_status_change''' = double-click to toggle to '''false''' to allow websites to mess with status text. -
My old iTunes library has been replaced by a new library, I didn't download a new version or authorize it. I have lost all my music, is there any way of retrieving my old library.
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 -
Since loading the newest version of Firefox on my computer running Vista Home edition Firefox crashes after several hours of inactivity. If I leave the browser open and return in a few hours, Firefox hangs and a control/alt/delete pulls up "Firefox not responding" and I have to close the application. Upon opening it again I get the Firefox box of oops, do you wish to open a new session or return to the old one. This problem never happened in earlier versions. Also, you tout the newest version is faster - not so on my computer.
if you use vista, try install sp2, and if the problem still there , try google chrome 10.x to see whether it is better, sometimes these sort of problem only happen to some specific websites, and esp. during rush hours of internet, i.e. night hours from dusk to mid-night.

i've been forced by my comp to shut down several times by holding the power button because of the inability to select the apple and shut down correctly..idk if i got a rare mac virus or bug.. and some programs simply won't open when clicked on.. i don't know how this is possible after years of great performance..
Where did you get this "dmg file"? To install the newest version of any Apple software, including iTunes, all you have to do is use Software Update from the Apple menu. This doesn't download any dmg, it automatically installs the software for you.
Maybe try repairing your permissions from Disk Utility (in your Utilities folder).
Also - What version of OS X do you have? Please update your forum profile so we can help you better.

When downloading the newest version, I get an error message saying iTunes has an invalid signature and will not be downloaded. Help!!!!!
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
I am assuming you are having difficulties installing the latest version of iTunes. Are you using a Windows PC or a Macintosh? Which version of Windows or OS X are you using? -
The newest versions do not post a devices list on the left anymore. My iphone appears in the upper right. You can't drag the playlists to the phone. Cannot figure out how I am suppossed to add content to phone from the computer.
I think it's edit - view - show left sidebar.

I just upgraded macbook to SnowLeopard 10.6.3 and now itunes won't recognize my iphone. I tried turning everything off and restarting. I have the latest version of itunes. If I have to reset the phone (and ipod touch), what does that mean? Will I lose anything? How long will it take? thanks
Start iTunes. Make sure you really are running the version you think you are. Sometimes people end up with two copies, different versions.
Mac OS X v10.6: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3540
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2311 - read section on Opening iTunes for information about running multiple copies of iTunes.
You say you are running Snow Leopard 10.6.3. That version will not run the latest iTunes which requires 10.6.8 If you need iTunes 10.7 you have to be running 10.6.8

I did not want yahoo as my default search engine. I want to be able to pick and choose as always. When i clicked on a different search engine i lost all functionality of the search bar and it became blank.I,ve gone back to 33 till i can get a fix for the problem. I would appreciate your help.
If you want to restore the previously used standalone window to manage search engines then you can toggle this pref to false with a middle-click on the about:config page.
about:config page: browser.search.showOneOffButtons = false
You need to close and restart Firefox to make this work properly.
In the address bar, type '''about:preferences#search<enter>'''
If you miss being able to switch search engines without going
crazy with menus, try this out;
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/context-search/ Context Search]''' {web link}
Expands the context menu's 'Search for' item into a list of
installed search engines, allowing you to choose the engine
you want to use for each search. -
When you downloaded the latest version of Firefox on July 2/11 I lost all my picture files
When you downloaded the latest version of Firefox on the 2nd of July all my pictures were wiped out even my desktop wallpaper which was one of my pictures. I have looked in all the places I could think of but haven't been able to find them. To try and find them I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but still none of my pictures have been found. They were in my Windows live photo gallery and some in Documents & Pictures.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

Why did I lose my Bookmarks?
Clarification:
I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure. -
I got up this morning to be greeted with an invitation to update iTunes on my Windows 7 computers. Unfortunately I did both at once. They have both refused to take the update, after deleting the old version, despite hours of work deleting the old files and downloading fresh new files. I got some message about a missing MSVCR80.dll but couldn't figure out how to fix it. Then I got a message about an Apple driver TCP/IP driver that I also cannot find out how to fix despite hours of work.
Unless I can find a fix, my iphone, iPad, my wife's iPad mini and my apple TV will be nearly uselss shortly. I need to find a way to get the update to load and work on Windows 7.
Anyone else having the problem? Any fixes?Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
Im tired of this feature popping up everytime I open itunes. I alwasy check the box that say dont ask again, and it cointinually pops up. I dont want to download new version of itunes so how do I stop this?
Thanks for the reply! Ill try to change the preferences as you mentioned. However, everytime Ive ugraded my itunes it adds duplicates to my library, which I then have to delete (if I have time to waste). With 10,000 songs this gets very annoying as Im sure you can imagine. Im also know that there are even software programs to delete duplicates from itunes libraries as seen here: http://www.tucows.com/preview/507304
I do thank you for your answer and apprciate the help.
Cheers~ -
