On every URL link in Microsoft Outlook I get the message that "The system cannot find the file specified." Then it proceeds to open it AFTER I close the error message. I just updated Firefox a few days ago and it began then and continues.

It shouldn't take any more detail than this. This is what happens every time:
"Generald failure: The URL was 'http: //link.washingtonpost.com/r.....' The file system cannot find the file specified."
'''EVERY URL'''

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

Photoshop cc is hanging when opening a file after I updated software a few days ago

I updated PS CC a few days ago, and now whenever I open a file to work on, it hangs and takes ages to load. The file appears but looks blurred in places then gradually loads completely and the blurring disappears, but takes at least three minutes to completely open a file

HT4623 I downloaded a book a few days ago on my new ipad and it was working fine. today I go into it and it won't open up

i downloaded an audibook a few days ago and it worked fine. Now i go back into it and it won't open up.

Try closing the Music app and reboot the iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I downloaded a new version of firefox a few days ago and since that time my computer has been going to a black screen, the words are disappearing . Then I get the message "Dispaly driver igfx stopped responding but has now recovered"

It started on Nov 10th.

The Firefox pop-up blocker is usually very effective for blocking pop-ups generated by websites, but it sounds like you may have picked up some Malware that is generating those pop-ups from you own PC.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy. '''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)''''' These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have. 
''Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.''

I just bought my phone few days ago. From the day I bought it I realized the phone heats up after a little use. It gets really hot while using Wifi and downloading. Anyone else having these issues? What's the solution to this?

Your VGA is definitely corrupted and it is irreparable, so just make the HP to change your vga.
Also next time read my post on how to keep your laptop cool to avoid same issues again.
I assume your laptop was pretty hot during some time and that's the result you've got.

Rotation Lock
Rotation Lock prevents the iPad display from switching between portrait and landscape mode. While Screen Rotation Lock is enabled, the following occurs:
The display remains in landscape or portrait mode, regardless of how iPad is held.
The Rotation Lock icon appears in the status bar.
A padlock appears in the rotation lock button (viewable when you flick to the left on the recently used apps list, after double-clicking the Home button).

The latest automatic update was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived with the same "request". Why and what do I need to do to stop this?

The latest automatic update (in March) was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived (today 7. March) with the same "request". Why does this happen and what can I do to stop it? Firefox 3.6.15 and Adobe flash player 10.1.82.76 are currently installed.

Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82 is not the latest version of Flash. '''r152''' is the latest.

Few days ago my Firefox work properly & perfect. After the last update I miss my history and convinient addons. Please HELP : (

Hi,
Few days ago Mozila stop work (I don't remember before or after last update) and ask me something. I answered responsibly, but the result is a hilarious and tragic, as follow:
1/ No bookmarks: They are very important for me because I prepare them from years. I often mark the important sites with "CTRL+D" and by inserting few key words.
2/ No history
3/ Under the tabs, on left side, there was 2 arrows in circle: TO Left and TO Right. With them was very comfortably to navigate. Now there is only 1 arrow: TO LEFT
4/ Under the tabs, on right side is field "Search using Firefox Add-ons". Few days ago was very useful to write some word and Mozilla automatically search for sites that meet the written words by GOOGLE. Now this feature is gone.
Are they any opportunity to restore my previous settings ?
Thank you for cooperation !
Best regards,
Rumen Ivanov

Hello,
Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.
#Use one of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
#*Click the ''[[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar|Firefox button]]'' to open the menu and click on ''Bookmarks''.
#*Click the ''Bookmarks'' menu and click on ''Show All Bookmarks''.
# At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
# Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
# In the new window that appears, click OK.
# Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.
For more information, see the [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]] article. For other solutions, see the [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

I have the "never remember my history" selected in options, yet when I close Firefox and reopen, it goes directly to my hotmail inbox. This just started a few days ago, and it's a security hassel. What can I do?

The only way I can clear it is to actually go in and manually delete my history. Help, please! Before a few days ago, my email session would only stay active as long as I didn't close the browser. I believe this applies to all sites requiring a password.

I wonder whether Firefox is not really shutting down completely. Would you mind checking the Task Manager?
After closing Firefox, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc and view the Applications tab. Firefox should disappear.
Then check the Processes tab. Click the button to show processes from all users, and click the Image Name column heading to alphabetize for easier visual scanning. firefox.exe should close within 15 seconds, after all file maintenance is completed. If it is not closing, then some other process may be keeping it running, preventing your session from ending.
If the session is ending, and your "When Firefox starts" is not set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time", the two normal ways you could be logged back in automatically are cookies and saved passwords.
In case an add-on is responsible, you could try starting in Firefox's Safe Mode with add-ons disabled and see whether Firefox still remembers your session.
First, make a backup of your profile folder for safekeeping. To back up Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
Next, see [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
Does that change anything?

Open System Preferences > iCloud

Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark again.
