On my Apples, Firefox is locking up, sometimes can not even force quite

Latest version of Firefox is locking up. Sometimes can not even force quite the application. This is happening often on both our Apple computers. Have found the hitting the Toolbar Setting Icon at the right end of the Yahoo Toolbar will free up the system again. This NEVER happened with the previous version of Firefox. It is getting to the point were we are considering going to Safari which we don't like as much

I haven't. One of the reason I use Firefox vs Safari is that you can't use Yahoo toolbar on Safari. What I have done is hit the Tabs Settings Icon at the very right end of the Yahoo Toolbar and this seems to free things up again

Firefox sometime can find specific server then at other times it can not. Also when on a web site and you attempt to go to anotherpage on the site, it lock up or can not find the page.

Firefox cannot find a server that it has gone to easily in the past. Also it will lock up or can not find a page with in a web site ie like with FoxNews and you want to read and article. Firefox cannot find it. Sometimes I can not even log on to FireFox.

Hi Corel
Thank you for your reply
However I need the lower case version for some sites and the upper case version for the site in question? To make matters worse this site does not allow you to change your log on name unless it is in the form of an e-mail address
So what I need is Kostas for this site and kostas saved for other sites and allow me to choose which one I want to use
How do I do this please
I have no bother with this on Win Internet Explorer but I like Firefox
Mind it may be as simple as deleting The appropriate entry and resetting with Kostas instead of kostas?
But I would appreciate knowing the correct solution from an expert

Ever since the systyem upgraded me to 3.6.6. I can not even run one eight hour day without firefoc either crashing or locking up which requires me use C/A/Deleate to close the program. I used to be able to run 8 to 12 windows at a time and NEVER lock up

Ever since the systyem upgraded me to 3.6.6. I can not even run one eight hour day without firefoc either crashing or locking up which requires me use C/A/Deleate to close the program. I used to be able to run 8 to 12 windows at a time and NEVER lock up or crash with the older version. Is this problem being looked into and or being corrected. I use Firefox with Google and my system is XP Pro 32 bit. THIS IS REALLY making me MAD. My email is [email protected] and would appreciate a response to this ASAP. I have tried a couple of items from your help section and nothing works.

'''''Safe Mode'''''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

when i was in safari one page opened and its said that my web reader is locked and i can't even shut my mac down, what should i do?

This is the Firefox Start Page that was used in Firefox 3.6 and prior versions. 
http://www.google.com/firefox
The '''about:home''' default homepage looks a lot like that older default homepage, but it is missing the Google menu items at the top left-side of the web page, along with the '''''Sign In''''' hyperlink for signing into Google services and the '''''Options''''' "gear button" for setting Google search preferences.
If you want the orange Firefox button to show, instead of the Menu Bar showing, you need to hide the Menu Bar by right-clicking a blank spot on the Menu Bar and de-selecting the Menu Bar by clicking on Menu Bar in that contextual menu.

Enterprise manager sometimes can not be accessed?

Dear contributors,
I am a newbie and curious that my both laptops sometime can not acces the enterprise manager page.
OS1 is Windows Vista Ultimate
DB1 is Oracle 10gR2 for Windows Vista
OS2 is Windows XP Home SP1
DB2 is Oracle 10gR2 for Windows
My main focus is Oracle spatial
Most of the time i need to restart the computer before i can access the EM page (the :1158/em/console/logon/logon).
Please advise. Many thanks in advance,

Hi,
i suggest you to switch on manual the windows console service.
Then enable the console manually issueing the emctl command.

Rainbow wheel appears when I open Firefox - then it hangs and all I can do is force-quit.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox on my Macbook Pro. The same thing keeps happening - I open Firefox and the rainbow wheel appears - that's it. I have tried to reset Firefox (I was able to click a "reset" button yesterday but nothing happened. I tried to reset it today but an unable to do so). All I can do is force quit the application. I think resetting it to default might work but I cannot write anything in the address bar or click on any of the tabs because the rainbow wheel is the only thing that appears. This has never happened before and I don't know what's going on.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar. Then select
'''Bookmarks'''. Hot key is '''<Control>''(Mac:<Command>)''<Shift> B.'''
Once the window is open, at the top of the page, press the button labeled
'''Import and Backup.''' Select '''Export Bookmarks To HTML,''' and follow
the prompts and save it to a '''HTML''' file. Copy the file to another computer.
Repeat the instructions above, BUT select '''Import Bookmarks From HTML,'''

FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your

It will also make backup of files that you choose.

@[email protected], I'm surprised that page worked in earlier versions of Firefox. It uses a script to click on links, which has not worked for a long time as far as I know.
There are at least two add-ons that can take actions on multiple links. I haven't tested either of them, but you could check them out:

Apple hasn't done anything. This is a security feature that you did not check to see had been properly de-activated before buying the phone.
If there was a back door, it would be useless as a security feature.

You're out of luck, then. Either that is not the computer it's set up to sync with, or the passcode was set AFTER the last time you synced, as Lawrence tried to explain.
You're going to lose your data.

HT1420 how do i Deauthorize a computer that has had the hard drive lock up and can not get it working

how do i deauthorize a computer that has had the hard drive lock up and can not get it working

You can only deauthorise individual computers directly on them. Otherwise if you've reached the 5 computer limit, then you should be able to log into your iTunes account and 'deauthorise all' (which you can only do once every 12 months) and you can then (re-)authorise up to 5 computers : authorising and deauthorising.

On my Apples, Firefox is locking up, sometimes can not even force quite
