Since updating to current version (6.0.2?), firefox won't connect to but only goes to "about:home" or opens a web-site.What's missing?

All firefox windows only open an "about:home" tab and when I type a URL manually, I get only a Mozilla Firefox home page, nothing else. I tried disabling Avast, still no good. Chrome, IE both work fine.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.

  • Updated to current version and it won't start up. sqlite3.dll not found. Try to reinstall. I have tried many times unsuccessfully. What is the fix?

    A pop-up told me to update to the current version. I did. Installation completes successfully. When I try to run the program, open a browser window after installation, I get an error that says sqlite3.dll not found, try to reinstall the program. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling about a dozen times over the last few days, and I always get the same error.

    Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
    Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
    If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
    Let us know how you get on.

  • Ever since updating to latest version of Firefox it has been painfully slow on my Mac running OS 10.5.8.

    Ever since updating to latest version of Firefox it has been painfully slow on my Mac running OS 10.5.8.
    Websites just hang, and never get to where they are supposed to go. The status loop on tabs just spins and spins but never loads the site. Go to the same site on Safari and there in a second. It is like dial up slow. Have tried all the troubleshooting tips(reset, delete/re-create profiles, uninstall/reinstall, updated flash) nothing works.
    Firefox had been working fine until latest update. What gives?

    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in Safe Mode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

  • Since upgrading to current version I lost my card log in feature

    I used to be able to save my usernames and passwords so that I wouldn't have to manually type them in. Why don't I have that since upgrading to current version?

    Firefox 4 uses a new build-in home page called about:home
    That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.
    If you want a home with extras then set another page as the home page like www<i></i>.google<i></i>.com or www<i></i>.google<i></i>.com/firefox used in Firefox 3 versions.

  • Since updating to newest version, I can't open g-mail and have to use explorer. How can I fix this?

    Since updating to new version of Firefox, I can't open my g-mail-this is sporadically. I have to go to internet explorer and have no problems at all. It is very frustrating and I want to either get it fixed or go back to the old version even though my college I attend does not support the browser.

       Yes, I checked for updates and was given a message that my Firefox was updated and my Lion, too.  I get no error messages with Firefox.  It just won't work.  If I click on a video link, nothing happens, yet if I switch to Safari, it works.  I went to the Firefox website and follow directions for that--turned off proxy--yet, it still doesn't work. 
         As for MS Office/Word, I get a message saying it is activated, yet it never opens.  When I try to open a document, it just keeps taking me back to the registration page where it says I don't need to register it.  It has been maddening.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

    *You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    *To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>

  • EA Helper crashes since update to CC version

    Hi,
    since updating to the CC version of Edge Animate, i am no longer able to open an existing html file to work on it. I just get an alert saying "Adobe Edge Animate Helper EH kann aufgrund eines Problems nicht geöffnet werden."
    This isn't true for all html files, just for some files. If necessary, i will send the files.

    Hi, Holger-
    Sorry for the delay, and thanks for the bump.  I downloaded your file and opened it on my Mac OSX 10.8 machine running the latest version of Animate CC.  It opened just fine and I was able to create an Animation based off of one of the text fields.  What platform are you running on?
    Thanks,
    -Elaine

  • I am trying to update an old version of itunes, my computer says it took place, but when I hook up my daughters new ipod it says the new version is needed.  What do I need to do?

    I am trying to update an old version of itunes, my computer says it took place, but when I try to sync my daughters new ipod it says a newer version if itunes is required?

    In iTunes, look at Help/About iTunes and as the screen rolls up, check for the version number. Ignore the bit that says iTunes 10 in massive bold lettering, wait for the smaller text to appear as the it rolls up. The latest version (on 15th April 2012) is iTunes 10.6.1.7 and the text you should see will simply state iTunes 10.6.1.7. Underneath that will be "gumpf" about copyright etc.
    If your iTunes does not say this, then something must have gone wrong with the update you did. How did you do it? The usual way is to simply select (in your iTunes), Help/Check for Updates. In my case, the return message I see states This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version. The alternative message will state something like "there is a later version of iTunes available, do you wish to download it" or similar. Selecting "Yes" would begin the download and if you leave it to run itself, the update should take effect, providing you don't stop it or (I guess) keep iTunes so busy it cannot run the update. It may need to close and re-open before the change takes effect.
    At a guess, the reason your daughter's iPod is saying it requires a newer version of itunes is either because you've just bought it, and you have a fairly old version of iTunes - AH!, that may be the problem. >>
    >> If the version of iTunes you had installed was very old, then the update may have updated to something other than the latest version. So even if the update has taken place, if it only updated from, for example, iTunes 8 to iTunes 9, then it may need a further update to get to version 10 or to 10.6.1. So for you, now, check after update for the version your iTunes thinks it is until it states iTunes 10.6.1.7.
    Alternatively, if your daughter's iPod has been Synced with another computer (with a later version of iTunes than yours, even by one increment), then that would cause then issue you currently have, because her iPod will now only want to work the the latest version it has previously done business with, not your old version.
    Note; the current version of iTunes as I've stated it, may change any day. Apple do not announce when updates will be released. Uisng Help/Check for Updates and seeing the return message This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version is the only sure way of telling that you are up to date.
    Additional note; gumpf = slang for "random junk".
    Let us know how you get on.

  • Since updating to 3.6.1 I don't get an empty browser window in my tool bar whe. it opens --- just a list of search engines. I can't find anything in "Help" or the FAQ's that seem to address this. My only choice seems to go back to Safari.

    I am not sure what your problem is, can you give more details.
    One possibility is you may be in full screen mode, for details on fixing that see the [[menu bar is missing]] article.
    If you are missing various toolbar items, see the [[back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]] article.
    If your problem is something else please give more details.
