Problem starting firefox: it complains that there is no disk in diskdrive

Every time I start firefox, it complains that there is no disk in disk drive H: - when I put any disk thre it starts normally.

Each time you use "Save As", the pref ''browser.download.lastDir'' is updated with the drive:/path of that save. See: <br />
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Access_most_confugurable_options_in_Firefox#Browser<br />
('''scroll down on that page to ''browser.download.lastDir'')'''
<br />
You need to update your plugins. It is important to keep them updated due to continuing security fixes and improvements in those plug-ins:

  • Can I update to earlier than the latest (currently 8) version of Firefox? I need that because my test frameword has problems starting Firefox version 8 and there were no such problems up until version 7.

    I recently updated from Firefox 7 to Firefox 8.
    Until version 7 the test framework I use, based on Selenium, was working normally with the browser. Since I updated to version 8 - the framework can't open any browser session. So I had to downgrade to older version to be able to run my tests. But the only older version than 8 was 3.6 - really stable but very, very old one.
    So I need to choose to work with any version between 3.6 and 8, excluding 8 for now.
    How can this happen from the Firefox site?

    Nice try, but this url does not work anymore 10 Dec 2011. Are we ever going to have an answer as to why all versions before V8 were dropped off the map back to 3.6? Is 3.6 secure?

  • There are times when I try to start firefox 3.6 that it does not come up,but when I click it again, I get fire fox is running but not responing, close fire fox, or shut down computer. There are other times that it starts up normaly wit no probs

    ..

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee

  • When I am using Premiere elements 13 I get a message that pops up "that there is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive", this also happened 3 months ago How can I get rid of this again?

    When I am using Premiere Elements 13 I get a message that pops up "There is no disk in the drive" I click on it and it keeps coming back "very annoying", but about three months ago it happened to me and I was told to change the file name from OldFilm.AEX  to OldFilm.AEXold. Well now the file is back in Folder OldFilm.AEX. Here is a screen shot the files are highlighted.What should I do now to correct this once and for all, or can I? Thank you for your time.

    TomWolves
    I would do another rename to disable or just delete all the OldFilm.AEX and OldFilm.AEXOLD in that NewBlue Folder.
    If you do, please let me know if that OldFilm.AEX regenerates itself the next time you open Premiere Elements 13.
    Here is the strange story...at least from my Premiere Elements 13 Windows perspective...never had the No Disc error issue
    Here are some details to sort through trying to figure out why you have 2 OldFilm.AEX file in the NewBlue Folder.
    1. The original OldFilm.AEX file of Premiere Elements 13 has the date of 9/4/2014 (just before the version was released on 9/24/2014).
    After the 13.1 update is done (whenever date), that OldFilm.AEX file has the date of 1/31/2015. I first saw notification of the 13.1 Update
    release early in February 2015.
    2. Now in Premiere Elements 13.1, if I take my OldFilm.AEX (date 1/31/2015) and disable it by renaming it to OldFilm.AEXOLD, close out of there, and reopen
    the program, the OldFilm.AEX is not seen to regenerate. The OldFilm.AEXOLD remains there as its lone self.
    3. So, I am thinking that your OldFilm.AEXOLD in the screenshoot is "original equipment" that you disabled to get rid of No disc error.
    Why the OldFilm.AEX is there also is not clear, but the dating on it suggests that it came along with the 13.1 Update.
    Bottom line: let us try the deletion or disabling one more time and see what happens.
    Looking forward to further reports on your findings, as your time permits.
    Thanks.

  • Every time I open Firefox, it thinks that there's been a problem, and asks if I want to restore my last session.

    I've seen a coupld of suggested solutions that invovle deleting files, and reconfiguring settings, but these all seem to be aimed at PC users; I'm on a Mac, and the instructions given don't work.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Downloaded AVG protection and it cleaned my computer, now whenever i try to start photoshop it says that there is a problem with the licensing of the product and gives me an error code 213:11

    Exactly as it says above. The computer was given to me as a gift, and the person who gave it to me had already bought photoshop and put it on for me. Photoshop was working perfectly before AVG did the computer scan, and now every time i try to use it a window comes up instead that says "A problem has occurred with the licensing of this product. Restart your computer and re-launch the product. If this problem still occurs after restarting, contact Customer Support for further assistance, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen. Error: 213:11"

    Apparently it "cleaned" away needed files.
    Most likely you will have to reinstall Photoshop to get all the files back.

  • When opening a WebHelp system in Firefox, it complains that it can't find contentlist.xml--is this needed? What is it?

    When a developer called my online help system (generated in RoboHelp9 as WebHelp) from Firefox, the help seemed to work fine. But he said in Firefox "trace output it complained about 'can not find contentlist.xml’" What is it looking for, and will this cause problems with the functioning of the help?
    There is no topic in my RH9 output by that name.

    Can you replicate the error message yourself? For example, does it appear in Firefox's Error Console (Ctrl+Shift+j)?
    If you aren't getting user complaints about missing functionality, this might be a nonessential file, or it could be a spurious error related to the user's personal configuration (e.g., an add-on).
    There is a more global issue to watch for: During the past year Firefox started enforcing higher security restrictions for local web pages. Your page should be able to access files in the same folder or a subfolder. However, if the RoboHelp page is set up to access resources in a directory that requires navigation through a parent directory, that might be blocked.
    Hope this helps.

  • I am trying to get a password, but I can't remember my user name. Firefox answers back that there is a registered user with my email. Probably me, but I can't long on as I don't have the user name.

    When the new password is used, it asks also for a user name if an email account is recorded.
    Finally, after trying lots of user names, this one seemed to work. The website logon should not require a user name if I can get a password change by just using my email account.

    Hi brendalynn6,
    Have you looked at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article? There are a couple of different PDF plugins listed in the article. I'd suggest you give those a shot. You might also want to take a look at [[Using the Adobe Reader plugin with Firefox]].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I have just installed firefox 4 andnotice that there is no dropdown feature on the back/forwrd buttons. is this not available with this version or can it be activated somehow?

    my previous version of firefox had a drop
    down arrow that enabled me to go back to a location of my choice, often further back than what the 'back' button gives. can anything be done about this?

    It's only the little caret next to the back button that's gone. If you click and hold on the back button, it will still drop down.

  • Is there a chance that firefox will inform that there are files downloading in the background before exit ?

    after I exit Firefox all downloading in background files are ended without any information about it. Is there a chance to change it ?

    Try changing the hidden preference '''''browser.download.manager.quitBehavior''''' to a value of 2 in about:config to get a warning window when closing Firefox during downloads. I have included a link below on using about:config

  • I cannot start firefox because of a security problem after it crashed. What should I do to fix it?

    I use Vista on my dell inspiron 1721. Firefox closed itself, computer shut itself down, a lot of 'corrupted files' were deleted without my interference, and when Vista finally came back up, Firefox wouldn't start. Nowit says I have to fix the firefox directory. How do I do that? The help page on the profile didn't help me. Thanks, mhixon This started when I was browsing on Drudge report. The popup message said:
    Could not initialize the application's security component. ....
    I could not start firefox again after that.
    How do I update a graphics driver?

    You may need to delete the file secmode.db as well.
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • If I don't use the default homepage I have to start Firefox twice. I have all add-ons and extentions disabled.

    I have tried setting my homepage to Google and to Bing but Firefox closes as soon as the page loads. Starting it a second time works with no problems.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can try to reset Firefox.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
    Reset creates a new profile and tries to import some settings from the old profile leaving the old profile intact.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
    Also check the settings in your security software.
    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Synchronize Folder problem - LR finds missing photos that aren't missing

    A bit of background:
    I decided to dive in and clean up a big 40K catalog I have. This involved:
    Moving images around
    Creating new folders
    Renaming existing folders
    Renaming all photos
    All of this was done within LR to avoid problems. But now, everything is working fine, LR does not complain that there are missing photos EXCEPT when I try to synchronize a folder.
    The strange this is there is no question mark on the images and when I use the Find Missing Photos, LR tells me that there are no missing photos.
    But when I try to synchronize a folder (any), it finds all the images as new images and suggests to remove the missing photos (both matching the exact number of images). Obviously I don't want to do that and loose my edits...
    I found some information here, it seems to be an old bug but no solutions work for me... I really don't want to go back and redo all this work. Is there a magic trick?
    Thanks!

    Thanks but this a completely different problem. You are referring to the "Treat JPEG files next to RAW files as separated photos" setting that I have unchecked purposely and I do not shoot RAW + Jpeg anyways.
    Your issue is a normal behavior. LR assumes that Jpeg+RAW shooters will only required the RAW to be imported in LR unless you change that setting.
    My problem was a very specific instance where the volume name did not match case with the folder names in LR. As soon as I fixed that, it went back to normal.
