(Running Windows 7 Home Premium) When Firefox 4.0 hangs (forcing a shutdown) or crashes (the screen has even gone to black) my windows fail to restore most of the time.

On the occasions when the windows fail to restore, I usually see a blank start page with something to the effect of "about:restore" or "about:restore session" in the URL line. I've tried pressing enter, but it didn't help. Other times, I've immediately tried going to the History menu, but the "Restore Previous Session" menu pick is faded out. I followed the help posted here to activate the restore windows feature, but the windows still fail to restore most of the time. I'm not a techie, so I'd really appreciate some easy to understand help.

The DMP file is inconclusive. You could run driver verifier to find the underlying issue but WPR is often easier.
In order to diagnose your problem you will need to download and install the below
Install the WPT (windows Performance Toolkit)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30652
Help with installation (if needed) is here
When you have, open an elevated command prompt and type the following
WPRUI.exe (which is the windows performance recorder) and check off the boxes for the following:
First level triage, CPU usage, Disk IO.
If you problem is not CPU or HD then check off the relevant box/s as well (for example networking or registry) Please configure your as per the below snip
Click Start
It will reboot 3 t imes and record the data to a file and tell you its name and location.
Zip the file and upload to us on Onedrive (or any file sharing service) and give us a link to it in your next post.
These crashes were related to memory corruption (probably caused by a driver).
Please run these tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.
If you are overclocking (pushing the components beyond their design) you should revert to default at least until the crashing is solved. If you don't
know what it is you probably are not overclocking.
Since it is more likely to be a driver please run verifier first.
1-Driver verifier (for complete directions see our wiki here)
If verifier does not find the issue we can move on to this.
2-Memtest. (You can read more about running memtest here)

My phone's speakers only work sometimes. Sometimes it is better when I plug in my headphones, but not all of the time. Any idea's?

My phone's speakers only work sometimes. It started recently, and I just moved to Hawaii so I am at the beach alot. Could sand have something to do with this? Sometimes it is better when I plug in my headphones, but not all of the time. Any idea's?

Absolutely!
If you are taking your $500 electronic device to the beach, I recommend you get a case that completely seals the iPhone from the elements (ie. waterproof).

I get no browser home page; no favorites/bookmarks; no back buttons; no tools, etc. just a generic Firefox bar with preset sites which go nowhere when clicked. I have windows vista home premium. Firefox works fine on my desktop

Upgraded to latest Firefox version on my laptop w/ Vista Home Premium and get no browser page; no back buttons; no bookmarks/favorites; no address bar...nothing like a typical browser page...all I have is a cumbersome Firefox bar that has preset sites that do nothing when clicked.
FF worked fine before I "upgraded". Want 3.5 back
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about 5 days ago

I followed your instructions and installed Developer Suite 10G on Windows Vista Home Premium edition. I have Oracle 11G DB running on the same machine.
Two points, Steve:
1. When I tried to set the maximum virtual memory to 6110 an error message displayed from Windows and told me that I can't set the maximum virtual memory to more than 4096. I set it to 4090 and it worked and I got nothing wrong during the installation process.
2. After installing JInitiator and disabling Java on Firefox I called the http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet page and everything seemed to be OK because the Oracle Forms Services logo appeared and then a successful installation message appeared , but as I clicked (ok) to continue a gray screen appeared inside the browser (like the one displayed when you try to run a Java applet inside a browser) and then I wait to death till something appears but sadly nothing. I just get a blank gray screen inside my Firefox browser.
Do you have any idea what to do to solve the problem?
Regards

How do I get rid of Astromenda.in Firefox run in Vista Home Premium

I got a message I thought was from Mozilla Firefox saying I have to update Adobe Flash Player. I did and ended up with Astromenda.
I went to control panel/programs and Features, found Astromenda, and uninstalled it. I then adjusted my options for my Firefox homepage and got rid of Astromenda on the open of Firefox. However, if I hit the "+" on the tab for a new tab I get a Astromenda search tab. I went to "searchplugins" in the Firefox profile and found Astromenda.xml and replaced with safesearch.xml. Didn't help, Astromenda is still there when I add a new tab.
I go to the web and found websites on how to get rid of Astromenda but they want me to download various adware cleanup tools but I am reluctant to download anything at this point unless it is sanctioned by Mozilla Firefox.
Thank you

The one final step I did not do was the easiest, open Firefox menu, select "Add-ons", click on "Extensions", find "Astromenda", and then click on "Remove."
Problem solved.
PS: I read other blogs that claimed after remove all traces of Astromenda there regular search engine did not act the same... no such problem for me, Google search is acting completely normal.
Thanks everyone for your interest.

System Restore will not run on Vista Home Premium

I cannot get system restore to run on my T61 using Vista Home Premium I get messages like:
"The Restore point could not be created for the following reason: The writer experienced a transient error. If the backup process is retried the error may not reoccur". It did.
I also get "Rescue and Recovery Backup Service stopped working and was closed. A problem caused the applicaion to stop working correctly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available." It did not.
I have also been advised no restore points are available.
The net effect is I cannot use System Restore at all!
Has anyone else had a problem like this with system restore? Lenovo has been no help.I have had a number of Dell computers and this is my first (and last) Lenovo. When it was quite new and the problem occurred , I contacted them but they just blew me off..
RHM

So i assume that your T61 originally came with Vista Home premium installed??? Did you make the Recovery Media disks when you first got your machine??? If not call Lenovo up and obtain those disks, and then use them to reinstall your service partition and your OS.

Just got a new computer running windoews vista home premium.

Just got a new computer running windows vista home premium. I downloaded itunes with no problems, ran it, no problems. Then turned off my internet connection and computer. Next time I turned on my computer, I could not connect to the internet. There is no problem with the ISP or the computer (all have been checked). If I uninstall itunes, everything is back to normal, internet connection is fine. I have tried a few times to install itunes (which is easy to do), but my computer will not let me access the internet while itunes is installed on the computer. Any ideas as to why this happens and what I can do about it? Many thanks for any help anyone can give.

Look into the Security control panel for the firewall settings and the list of applications allowed to access the Internet. I think you can tap the Windows key and type "firewall" to be shown the panel immediately.
I just got a new computer with Vista Home Premium too. The first time I ran iTunes, Windows brought up a Windows Firewall warning asking me if I wanted to allow iTunes through. People tend to blow by these popups but they're very important. Often Windows will not ask again, and you have to go digging to get to the option later. Reinstalling the app won't necessarily help because Windows would think that the app you already blocked is just trying to get through again, so it blocks it again.
When I view the list of permitted apps for the Windows Firewall, I see many entries with "iTunes" in the name, each probably governing a separate network feature (sharing, purchasing, artwork, track lookup).

When I open Firefox it does not go to my home page even though my setting are set to go to home page when Firefox is opened

I have repeatedly checked my settings for Firefox to go to my home page when opened. Instead it opens my last pages opened. I have the most current version of Firefox. This has been going on for about a week.

I used the Firefox Refresh button, but it never finished. When Firefox finally showed up again, it just showed a blank screen, with the Firefox "frame".

Reluctantly tried Firefox Refresh. Step #3 says "3.Firefox will close to refresh itself. When finished, a window will list your imported information. Click Finish and Firefox will open."
I never got that window. Firefox re-opened after about 20 minutes with a blank screen. I waited some more, but nothing. At first it didn't seem to be responding to mouse clicks or keyboard entry, but after a couple more minutes, I was able to click on the menus or Firefox button and get a response.
When I look under Firefox profiles (folder), I see my original profile folder with a dash after default and then a number added at the end (xxxxx.default-zzzzz). It is still my only profile folder. I thought Refresh was supposed to create a new profile folder.
All of my bookmarks are missing.

Hello there,
This may be caused by the large amount of visited sites and as a result this can slow down Firefox
Can you please try to clean your browsing history and cookies by doing the following:
1. Click the menu button, choose "History", and then "Clear Recent History"
2. Select how much history you want to clear ( Everything is recommended)
3. Finally, click the "Clear Now" button.
If none of the above work then I would suggest to reinstall Firefox and see if that solves the issue.
Keep us posted!

When firefox trys to auto update, or I manually download the new version, or some but not all downloads off of the web, I get this error message. C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.

First off, when firefox trys to auto update, it fails. It tells me to try and download the new version from mozilla's site. When I try to download the new version I get this: (C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.)
This is the same message I have been getting when I try to download other things off the net. (When I use other browsers to download I dont have this problem)

Please help.
It is getting worse
Adobe flash player is crashing. I already uninstalled and re installed the latest ver. Also it is hanging randomly.
Please help.

Background images are not loading in Firefox nor IE, running Win 7 Home Premium

Win 7 laptop does not load background type images in either Firefox or IE.

Please check out [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].

I can set my default home page (when Firefox starts) but if I open subsequent tabs I get a blank page. How do I set my default home page for all tabs.

I set my default home page to AltaVista.com. This page comes up as expected when I start Firefox. However if I open a new tab I get a blank page. How to I setup Firefox to use my default web page for all subsequent tabs. This was an easy process in IE

Sounds like you want the New Tab Homage extension.
