Since the latest update of Firefox was installed on my Windows Vista Home Premium system it appears to be crashing and sometimes plays up by not opening requested sites in new windows, tabs etc. Should I uninstall and reload Firefox??

Also when closing tabs and windows the screen appears to momentarily go a blue color. This same blue color can also be seen when Firefox appears to crash or stall. If you try to open a new tab or a new window there appears to be some hesitation before the new window opens and sometimes the new window or tab simply refuses to open-you then have to shut down Firefox and restart to improve this.

Thanks Alan I tried disabling several items so far and the situation has improved but still not as stable as I would like. Systematic approach is the key here so I'll continue with a process of elimination.

    Hey Ishland,
    You are not alone. I'm getting the same thing I'm running Vista. I'm reading that Windows 8, 8.1 preview, Vista and XP.
    I'm thinking this has to be a Apple update to iTunes 11.0.4.4 fix.
    Cheers,

  • Live Update 3 will fail on Windows Vista Home Premium

    Hi,
    I have a P6N Diamond motherboard with BIOS 1.0, in a Windows Vista Home Premium system
    I have downloaded Live Update 3 and tried to run it. I get various error messages one after another: "driver not valid", "Flash_MMIO_MAP DeviceIoControl error", etc, and then I have to close down Internet Explorer to be able to get back to a normal situation in the system.
    Can you please let me know how to update the BIOS?
    Thanks.

    Go in BIOS and make sure USB Legacy Support is Enabled(can be named USB KB/Storage Support), re-try to boot from your USB key again.
    If no change:
    Use HP Formatter(http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/32594.asp) to change USB key geometry, format the USB key in FAT32 via HP Tool.
    /* some USB keys are picky, and they need a special conditional to boot from it, Forum Tool is using the existing drive parameters */
    Then re-run Forum Tool, when its done reboot PC and boot again from it.

  • Ever since the latest update, my task bar (if it's called that - it's the one with "file,edit,view, etc") will "grey out" and I won't be able to type into any websites I visit. Only way to fix:either restart Firefox or reduce the window and open it again.

Only way I can proceed is if either restart Firefox (very annoying) or reduce the window and open it again. Please help!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[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.

  • Since the latest update of 3.5.11, firefox opens links in a new window. it used to open links in a new tab. how can i fix that?

    since the latest update of 3.5.11, firefox opens links in a new window. it used to open links in a new tab. how can i fix that?

    The setting in "Tools > Options > Tabs" only works for links that would open in a new window.<br />
    That option allow you to divert such calls to a new tab.<br />
    For other links you either have to use a middle click or a Ctrl + left click or use the context menu.

  • HT6030 gmail and mail since the latest update

    Anyone having problems since the latest update on mail my mail and gmail stopped syncing?

    I'm having issues still. Same issue that I had right after installing Mavericks. There is something screwed up with the accounts. When I don't have a google account configured system works as normal - at normal speed etc. But, when I create a google account there are numerous issues.
    1. The mail messages and notes don't set up. They are in a constant "loading" state until I force quit the internet accounts process through activity monitor. Rarely it does come up with a message saying that it could not connect to the IMAP server. See 1st picture
    If I leave the account set up with no mail, notes or message then the OS will still push for updates from the server or at least that's what I think is happening. In anycase the com.apple.mailserviceagent keeps opening and each time it does it takes up 90+ %CPU and the whole system comes to a complete stop until I go into Activity Monitor and shut down the process. see 2nd picture
    Once I shut down these 2 specific processes the computer runs just fine. These shots were taken after the Mail update. Didn't have these issues with Mountain lion - mail just worked (which is what I expect from Apple). And I didn't have any problems setting up Airmail, which is what I've been using since i installed Mavericks.

    I recently changed my lap top. My problem is the new lap top won't accept my apple I D it asked me to sing up for a new one which I did.
    I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
    Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
    I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

  • I have my daughters Ipod, my iphone, my wife's Iphone and Ipad on the one Apple ID.  Since the latest update we are receiving Imessages from our daughter's Ipod with my wife's caller ID on the one message strand.  Can I fix this problem?

    Is it possible to differentiate between all the devices?Can I fix this problem?

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • Populair Podcast doesn't work since the latest update

    Mine populair podcast does not work anymore since the latest update. Every-time I try to access this menu-item I get an error in French that this isn't available from the iTunes Store.
    The error message is very strange because that's the only item displayed in French. All the other menu-items are in the language that I want (Dutch).
    Are there some other having the same problems with populaire podcasts?

    On Vista Home premium, uninstalling and reinstalling buth iTunes and Apple Applicatioon Support did NOT work for me.
    What did work for me was manually copyting CoreVideo.dll from the Apple Application Support folder into my iTunes folders (actually, to both of them - under Program Files and Program Files (x86)) as per advice posted in a Windows forum, found after an hour or more of frustration and failure.
    This appears to be a bug in the 10.1 installation scriptimng - what's going on?

  • ITunes won't recognise my iPad since the latest update.

    iTunes won't recognise my iPad since the latest update. I have tried the solution on http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538, twice over but with no result.
    I have repaired each of the iTunes elements and restarted both the computer and the iPad several times.
    I have Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit operating system.
    Processor: Intel (R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz

    Hi Skydiver119
    Thanks for your reply. That was what the solution I found on that link I posted, except it said to include the 'Bonjour' too. I've uninstalled everything, downloaded the latest iTunes, reinstalled and restarted the computer twice, but it still won't recognise the iPad. I've also rebooted the iPad each time.
    Any other ideas on what might work?
    Thanks in advance

  • I can`t start final cut pro x since the latest update lion

    Final Cut pro X is starting but you can`t working with this program since the latest update Lion

    I don't know what 15992 is talking about, the only way FCPX can be installed is with the App Store application on a Mac, which installs the FCPX application (it is a program) into the Applications folder, and puts the Events and Projects folders in the internal drive Movies folder.
    If the user uses FCPX to move events and projects to other drives, FCPX knows it and creates those folders on those drives. Doing a sytem update will have no effect on any of those folders. Russ is right, please provide more details.

  • Syncing messed up since the latest update

    Since the latest update, my Windows 8 Outlook 2013 gets hung up syncing with my iPhone 4S. I have tried the fixes I have seen elsewhere on the site, such as just syncing contacts and calendar and then syncing notes separately and that seems to work some of the time, but the changes I make on my phone in calendar and notes aren't getting onto my Outlook notes and calendar. Ideas?

    chrooting in and running that is the correct solution, but you need to do it from an Arch install disk.
