Since downloading Firefox on a new Windows 8 PC I have issues with adds imbedded in websites and IE10 shutting down & not working properly.

Downloaded Firefox since several websites we use are not yet fully compatible with IE10. Since downloading IE10 will register a problem as soon as opened, shut down, then reopen to same page. Also have adds embedded in websites like Facebook that were not there previously, as well as popups from Firefox (Deal Caddy???) that I can't figure out how to disable. Also noticed that the two-finger scrolling in Windows 8 (when using IE10) no longer works correctly. These issues only exist for one of two users on this computer. The user that did not install Firefox does not have the above issues.

In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:
#From the Firefox window click the Firefox button at the top left and select ''Add-ons'', or, if the Firefox button is not shown, click the ''Tools'' menu and click ''Add-ons''.
#Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the ''Extensions'' button on the left side of the window.
#You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
#To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the ''Remove'' button. You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
#Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the ''Restart now'' link in the message.
You can find further information about uninstalling extensions in the following articles:
[[Disable or remove Add-ons]]
[[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]

System sleep and shut down not working after upgrade to windows 10

HiI upgraded my OS from win 8.1 to win 10.After the upgrades the system shutdown and sleep are not working properly.It's like when I shutdown/sleep the system ,the screen shuts down but the power key keeps glowing and also the battery keeps draining.So eachtime I have to foercefully press the power button to shutdown the system. I have updated the display driver . Please someone suggest, what to do ?

Hi there , Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! I read your post on the HP Support Forums and seen that you are having issues with your HP Pavilion 15-n260tx Notebook PC and the Sleep/Shut down options. It sounds like you might be having an issue with one of the features of Windows called Hybrid Shutdown that is used for the Fast Startup feature. Here are a couple of links for you about Fast Startup, Hybrid Shutdown and How to Shut down your Notebook completely. They also have some troubleshooting steps in them. 1. Fast Startup - Turn On or Off in Windows 10.2. Shut Down Computer in Windows 10. If those do not work, I do have some more documentation for you to read and try. 1. Shut down (turn off), sleep, or hibernate your PC - This document is from Microsoft. 2. HP Notebook PCs - Managing Power Options (Windows 8)3. HP PCs - Sleep and Hibernate Issues (Windows 10, 8) Sometimes a BIOS Update will work. You can update all of your drivers by going to the HP Driver's website or by using the HP Support Assistant. On the Driver's page there is not an update for the Windows 10 Column, but there was an update that just came out under Windows 8.1 on Aug 7, 2015 that should work for your Notebook. Another fix that may work is to Run the Troubleshooter. Please follow this link to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter. I hope this helps! Have a great day!

My extension does not work with firefox 5 and need to be able to download firefox 3.6 or 4. every time try to find it it keeps directing to 5 which does not work with our gaming extensions, the features do now work with f/f5

My friends and I play Kingdom of Camelot, we use the greasemoney extension and various user scripts to play our game, the features in the extension do not work on verison 5 of firefox at this time, and we need to reload either firefox 4 or 3.6 to make them work efficiently.
Every time we go to download version 4, we get redirected to version 5 which we do not want.
I have am Mac laptop and a Windows laptop and would like rectify the problem on my laptops so I can play my game more effectively.
Regards
Monique Fornier

Yep, I understand...
This is the final news I needed to get to complete my answer... I confronted myself the italian store and the US one and in the US one I didn't find this product...
As for the NI software, was so good that I just bought back my good "old" iMac G5 and will exchange it with this my Intel Mac. The G5 2 Ghz was good, performing as this new Intel (at times I even got the impression was more performing, but I believe is just an impression) and surely didn't have so many 3rd parties problems.
Meanwhile I filled every forum of NI and USB with my questions about the compatibility... and maybe I will be back to an Intel Mac when all would be OK, I'm not in a hurry!
By the way I had a listen to your work: GREAT!
You may hear a sketch version of something we did work on with the NI piano and choir sounds, while the alto sax is played live and the other instruments are from Apple or real keys (yes, we mix a lot of things):
http://www.garageband.com/song?
while here is a track where we did use both the Orchestral sounds of Garageband (and some of it's loops, mixed with some good old programming) together with some NI sound:
http://www.garageband.com/song?
We do not often use orchestra if not as here and there (other than in some work as this last one, but is not so frequent). Hope you may like our little works!

27xi and web printing is not working properly with Firefox

I just bought this HP 27xi monitor at Costco and thinking about buying another soon.
I use Firefox and went to print this page on the web that I have printed before using my HP desktop and smaller HP monitor and had no problems. Last night I try to print up the same page and it is a wide mess. I try using the shrink to fit. I try lowering to below 50% and then the information moves from row to row so it makes no sense.
I was told by Costo Consierge that I need to try another browser like Internet Explorer to see if that helps. My Firefox is up to date. My MS OS Win & Pro is up to date. My MS Office 2013 is up to date and just recently reinstalled. I have installed the proper driver for this monitor and made sure it was up to date from HP site. My printer is newer HP 8600 and it's drivers are up to date. I checked all my drivers for my CPU and they are all up to date.
So are there no good drivers for this monitor for Firefox and Win 7 Pro and will I have to revert back to IE?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I was able to track down someone who pointed me in the right direction. The problem is that Firefox doesn't come with the right drivers for this monitor. So I went to Mozilla and found a plug in that worked. What you should be looking for is a What You See Is What You Get or WYSIWYG editor. So plug that term in at Mozilla site and up will pop up a few of these editors. I used the Xinha one which was the most popular one downloaded.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/collections/nfroidure/wysiwyg/
I don't have to go back to IE now even though Costco concierge recommended I do that. How lame is that? The guy at the Costco store knew more than the tech support crew.
I love this monitor and plan to buy another and another cpu but would NEVER ever buy direct from HP again with only 20 day return policy. Will be buying a Dell 8700 with Win 7 Pro from Costco since none of the HP machines have 7 Pro on them. Today MS announced they will offer Win8 upgrades for free with Bing strings. They now can only give it away since no one wants it.

I have reset Firefox, followed all the various instructions for ALL the faults and it is STILL not working properly !

Various problems :
Firefox crashing, missing toolbar, bookmarks disappeared (reset and now they won't work at all) , cannot set homepage again (despite following all instructions), shockwave flash constantly unresponsive (again, all instructions followed and no change), Firefox especially slow in facebook, sound volume keeps switching itself off.
I have gone through each problem with all the suggested "fixes" AND reset Firefox, but it is worse now than before !
Just about had enough.

My copy and paste functions are not working properly since iOS 8 update

Ever since I updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 4s the copy and paste function isn't working. It'll work the first time but any time I copy something else it pastes the first thing I copy. The only fix I've found is rebooting the phone but that is a pain to do every time I want to copy something and should be very unnecessary. I updated to 8.0.2 but that didn't fix it.

Have you tried rebooting?

Migration From OS X Mavericks to New Mac Air that is set with 10.8.4 Mountain Lion. It is not working

Bought a new Mac Air this week. Tried to Migrate my files, etc from my old Mac Air running OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Discovered after repated attempts, that the new Mac Air has 10.8.4 Mountain Lion. Could this be why it will not work?

I would imagine so. I doubt the Migration Assistant is designed to go backwards.

HT4946 i want to backup my iPhone to my new iMac but my backup is selected to Encrypt Local backup and my password does not work.

I am trying to backup my iPhone on my new iMac iTunes. It is currently backed up on my PC and encrypted. Both PC and iMac iTunes have Encrypted backup selected. My password does not work for either iMac or PC. Should I go ahead and try to backup to my iMac iTunes.

Sorry to hear about your phone jb111jb! We'll do everything we can to help find the best route! The only way to remove the password is flashing the device, but that will erase all the content. Have you ever backed up using Verizon Cloud or Google Sync? Do you have a memory card?

When I open Firefox it says that Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. And that I may not have the permissions to access this item.

There is only one user profile on the computer which is obviously administrator and the file that it says can't be accessed doesn't actually have a pathway in the section.
I have un-installed all java programs completely off the computer as well as Mozilla then restarted and installed everything again with the same problem coming up
The missing file is in a location that doesn't exist in the JRE folder.
\java\jre6\lib\deploy\..\..\..\..\bin\jqsnotify.exe

I would expect wording related to connection, but see

How do i make firefox automatically open a file. "Do this automatically with files like this from now on." does NOT work.

I have firefox set to Open .wav files with VLC and i have the check box marked to "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." But every time i click download for a .wav voicemail from gmail, i get the same dialog box. I just want firefox to hand the downloaded file to VLC and play it. I don't want to have to click anything after i click the download link. Isn't that action what i'm telling firefox to do after i mark the checkbox with "Do this automatically with file like this from now on." ? Isn't that implied with my selection of the box? How can i fix this?i want to click a "download" link for a .wav voice mail in Gmail and have it automatically play in VLC without any further interaction from me.

No it's saving the preferences and the check box remains checked from session to session. It will even continue to ask me to what to do with the file even in the same session when i try to download the same file again 5 seconds after i downloaded it the first time.

I have a 2009 MacBook Pro. Does anyone else have issues with their laptop having problems starting when shut off or restarting when asleep since installing Yosemite?

I have a 2009 MacBook Pro which I have upgraded a few things on. I have updated to Yosemite and am having problems with getting my laptop to come out of sleep mode, and to start when shut off. Any ideas of what this might be or how to correct it? Is this more probably a hardware issue or software?

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Download and install the 10.10.1 update.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible

TS1741 Does the new iOS 7 update have issues with the iPhone Remote app? It stopped working on me

I have tried to restart both my laptop and iPhone. Won't work.

It just reboots the device and bolds the system fonts. No harm done. If you don't like it, undo the setting, it will reboot and back to as it was.

Since downloading Firefox on a new Windows 8 PC I have issues with adds imbedded in websites and IE10 shutting down & not working properly.
