Samsung galaxy 3 android firefox keeps resetting 'desktop' icons

Samsung galaxy 3 android. Downloaded firefox ap. Now every once in awhile the shortcuts I've added to the desktop of the tablet are reset so instead of seeing the text of the sites I've set, they all becone the generic firefox globe with no idea where each one will take me. I have to go back to each site and ask for it to be sent to my desktop AGAIN. Has happened three times in two months. Will not do it again but delete the firefox ap. Shame as we use firefox on 4 desktop computers and two laptops.

Hope this works.

Can I access my iCloud account on a Samsung Galaxy Android Phone?

Question stated above!

I've been playing with a Galaxy here at work and here's what I've found so far - please feel free to jump in and suggest alternative methods to configure or access the various icloud components.
So the original Q: Can you access your icloud account on Android?
Not entirely: the website can't be used from an android browser (not properly - even with Dolphin HD and posing as different browsers it won't load correctly. So Find my iphone is out, so is the address book or looking at your e-mail or calendar just in a browser window
I was able to setup my e-mail using the IMAP settings published here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
Be sure to setup the account manually - and note if you have trouble using SSL try TLS (that worked for me)
Address book is a no go so you'll have to use iTunes to sync all your contacts over to Gmail - if you still have an iPad it means managing contacts in two places though . Same goes for your calendar - transfer it to Gmail and forget about iCloud's calendar. Nice instructions here: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20064060-285/how-to-switch-from-iphone-to-an droid/
iWork is an Apple proprietary bit so don't expect much there.
So in my case, if I'm really going to make the switch to a Galaxy from my iPhone it really means I'm going to have to switch to using google as the backend. The timing to swap over to a galaxy/android phone is not the greatest - given that I'd have to give up my Apple addiction (syncing photos and itunes and losing access to my device tracking). Plus I still have an iPad and a mac and like living in the Apple ecosystem. I think I'll wait and see what the new iPhone looks like before I commit

How well does a Samsung Galaxy (Android) integrate with Mac OS?

Hi, I'm wondering how well a Samsung Galaxy integrates with Mac OS?
In terms of:
-Address Book contacts
-iCal calendars
-Mail (dot mac mail account)
-iTunes Music
Is it possible to create a seamless experience? Anyone doing this?

Smart panel works OK for me on Lion but the printer is CLP325-w. (though only recently updated and Im pretty sure it was ok on the CLP315 too.
To check status go to system preferences>Print&Scan and the check the options and supplies box. You should be able to see 4 toner levels.
Also, what happens when you actually choose to print? On mine I get a box appear which actually shows toner levels each time.
I'm not actually in the office right now so I'll check later and post again if I can add anything.

Since last update desktop icon are unstable when closing firefox and firefon doen't release immediately

A recent update to Firefox caused my desktop icons to become unstable and Firefox will not release immediately after closing the program.

Thank you so much wchp, this is brilliant. I have had this annoying problem for a long time. I eventually rang Mac support, they did not know how to fix the problem as you have suggested so they instigated many hardware replacements which eventually left my iMac severely crippled. They eventually replaced it with the latest model. But I spent two months working with a disabled computer which really interfere with my work.
Your solution appears to have solved my problem, at least so far, but I am hopeful that it is a permanent fix. I hope that your suggestions are taken up by Apple support. This may solve many users problems and avoid Apple making expensive fixes that don't actually work.
I thought that the new iMac would not have the 'Wake up from sleep by painting in the login window' problem but it did, this really annoyed me. Anyway now the problem appears to be solved, it's not I will repost and keep working on it. Thanks again.

Can't find hardware icons on android samsung galaxy s4?? Firefox OS 31.0 SGH-I537

Read all the topics and there is no icon for hardware on samsung galaxy s4 active phone. There was an icon in April 2014. After April update, numerous factory resets in August/flashed and other updates I can't find the hardware icon. I signed up to be a volunteer and I received a message to activate and introduce myself which I did. I have received no reply from any mentor from Mozilla support group.

Did you flash Firefox OS to your phone?
Or are you using Firefox for Android?

I keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get it when I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon.

I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:
Malwarebytes Anti-malware : http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

I have now spent 2 full hours trying to sync Firefox on my desktop pc and my android phone. Won't work, even as I have followed every instruction correctly.

I went to FIREFOX, SET UP SYNC. I created a new account (email address, password twice, checkbox for Terms & Privacy, anti-robot box). On a separate tab, a screen appeared with the message "Set up complete!" I closed that tab, then went to the pc's PAIR A DEVICE screen, entered the code which appeared on my phone's SET UP FIREFOX SYNC screen, then hit NEXT. The phone immediately showed activity (an animated horizontal box), along with the message "Waiting for other device".... After 7 minutes, the phone defaulted back to the SET UP FIREFOX SYNC screen with a new code in the 3 boxes, and the pc defaulted back to the SET UP SYNC screen with 2 buttons, SET UP SYNC and PAIR A DEVICE. Somewhere in the above process (I can't recall exactly where...), the pc asked me for a RECOVERY KEY -- which I could not find anywhere, neither on the phone nor on the pc. I repeated ALL of the above at least 5 times, always with the same non-result. Somewhere in the instructions, it described a "Manage acct." button for Sync accts. -- NO SUCH BUTTON APPEARS ANYWHERE, neither on the pc nor the phone. My specs.: Firefox 15.0.1 on pc, Firefox 16.0 on phone...... phone is Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000...... Android version: 4.0.4....... I'm very good at following instructions, but the Firefox Sync help pages describe buttons which do NOT appear on my devices and recovery codes which do NOT appear anywhere. Please, please help -- so much time invested already, so much frustration..... Thx.

When you open the desktop sync page (Tools > options > sync) does it look like the image below? If it does not then sync is not setup on the desktop computer.
If that looks similar then the other half would be to get an [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat&hl=en aLogcat] log from your device when attempting to pair the device. Following the directions at http://160.twinql.com/how-to-file-a-good-android-sync-bug

My smartphone Samsung Galaxy Music Duos S6012. It's been released in Dec. 2012 but no support for firefox for mobile. Will it be supported ?

I use Firefox on my desktop and love it. Would love to have it on my smartphone Samsung Galaxy Music Duos S6012. However my smartphone is not supported by firefox. Any changes of it being supported in near future ?
Thanks and Regards

Thanks Aron for the reply...
From my smartphone, when I visit google play and search for firefox, both firefox as well as firefox beta are not visible... When I search on my desktop both are visible but saying my device is not supported...
I installed the OpenGL-ES Info app. But when I run it on my device, I just get blank screen with name of the application (OpenGL-ES Info) on top...
No info about OpenGL is displayed... My smartphone has got Ice-cream sandwitch 4.0.4 and it is upgradable to Jelly Bean 4.1
I than installed OpenGLES Extensions Viewer app from google play which displayed the OpenGL details.. Below are the details :

Looks like my smartphone has got OpenGL ES 2.0 from the above output... Why firefox is not supported in that case ?
Is that anything to do with Shading Language: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 1.00 ???

I recently received a samsung galaxy tab 4 nook? and no matter what i cant sign in adobe keeps saying my iinfo is wrong yet i can sign on here whats the issuee and how can i fix it

I've tried resetting the password that doesn't work no matter what I try

I wish I had an answer, but the same thing is happening to me. Can I go back to the old version of Digital Editions, please? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Update: While I didn't answer the question above, I did manage to fix my problem. Here is the background: My old Nook was a Nook Color, which, while it was greatly loved and semi-intelligent, it wasn't a tablet. When I connected it to my computer, it was recognized as a device and showed up in Digital Editions. My library uses Overdrive to handle the borrowing and download/reading functions. When you borrow a book, you downloaded it to your computer, opened it in Digital Editions, and then did a "drag and drop" into your Nook. I had assumed that when I got my new Samsung Galaxy Tab Nook, it would work the same way. I had not adjusted my thinking to realize that the Tab is a true computer with an operating system (Android) such as that on my laptop. I was trying to fix the problem with the DRM authorization using every other ePub reader that I could find (installing the app and then attempting to open the book) and nothing worked. I finally got a message that clicked saying "You do not have rights to open this book" rather than the unhelpful message that I got from Digital Editions saying "Error! Check Authorization". I looked at my library's website and caught the notification that Overdrive has an app. I downloaded and installed it, connected to my library, logged in using my library card number and everything was there. Now, instead of downloading to my laptop and then moving the book to my Nook, I directly connect to my library's website and download the book to my Galaxy Tab. I could read directly in my browser (provided I was connected to the internet) but downloading ensures that I can read the book in any situation.
This absolutely does not fix the problem in the question above, nor does it answer why my old method worked for exactly two and a half books and then stopped working, but at least I learned something and I have a solution that means my Galaxy Tab can be used for the primary function of my old Nook, that of packing library books with me no matter where I am in a lightweight, easily read format.

Set up a desktop Firefox sync from an android Firefox sync

I am having trouble setting up Firefox sync on my desktop (which I had to replace) having only an active Firefox sync on my Android tablet. I can't find a way to either insert the usual three four character codes to pair the devices, nor to recover the sync key to enter it manually on the desktop. Googling the problem, I found suggestions from a year ago to use certain plugins (the most recent was about:synckey) to display the key, but unfortunately they are no longer compatible with the newest firefox (I am using v17). So my question is: can this be done? Or shoud I harvest all my bookmarks from the Android device as long as I can and reset the sync account?

Thank you for your reply. However, that guide assumes you have a desktop version of Firefox to insert the codes into and start the pairing to the second device (which can be a desktop Firefox or an Android Firefox), while I need to do the other way around, that is start the pairing from the Android Firefox. If it is possible, how can I insert the pairing codes in the Android Firefox?

When I try to open Firefox by clicking on the desktop icon, all I get is a Bing search page and no Firefox.

When I click on the Firefox desktop icon, I get a Bing search page. Nothing relating to Firefox is evident and the only way I can get out of the Bing search page is using Control/Alt/Delete. I can't access anything in Firefox at all.

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.

If there is a problem with searching via the default about:home page then try to reset the search engine used on the about:home page.
Reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.

#Open the about:config page via the location bar

#Close and restart Firefox
If this didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.
You can reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

Firefox will not set as my default browser? My desktop icon only allows me to open Firefox as an administrator? My family's Firefox accounts work fine. I have 3 other accounts have parental controls. Would that have an effect? in English

* Firefox will not set as my default browser, regardless of setting the option?
* My desktop icon only allows me to open Firefox as an administrator, while my family's Firefox icons are accessible?
* The 3 other accounts have parental controls and was wondering if that would have an effect?

OK, I think I have this solved. After reading my post over, I decided to rethink the problem. First thing I did was download Chrome and I tried using that and IE again and surprise! I was having the same problem on those browsers as well. So now we know it wasn't Firefox. I then figured maybe a slow computer meant a virus, so I ran scans. I've had both Avast and IOBit for months now and I've never had a problem with either of them before. Then I downloaded Malwarebytes and ran a third scan. They all picked some stuff up, but nothing serious. Then I tried disabling all the antivirus stuff and that didn't solve anything. But then I decided to keep Malwarebytes and I uninstalled IOBit Security and whammo - problem solved.
I have no idea why out of the blue IOBit would be causing a problem like this so if someone knows, please let me in on the secret. Additionally, IE was working fairly well last night but not this morning. I also don't know why removing IOBit would take care of the nsAppShell issue, because supposedly, that's related to Firefox plug ins. And one more thing...when Comcast hooked my neighbor up to cable, they did it by putting a splitter on my line. They were messing about with the lines yesterday before I got on my computer last night trying to decide how to rerun them and today they did that, taking the splitter off my line and giving my neighbor his own line. That was finished about 30 minutes before I uninstalled IOBit. So....who knows?
But I ain't about to look a gift horse in the mouth. I have my Firefox back and I am so sorry for bad mouthing you last night - I love you, Firefox!
