Since updating to version 26, the 'serach toolbar' no longer works, even if i change between various search engines google/yahoo, etc), can anyone please help?

upon first opening firefox, the search bar works fine for one search only , then does nothing for any subsequent searches ... this was working fine before the recent update to version 26..
even if i go to the google search page web site (www.google.com) and type in a search on the web page, when i click 'search' or hit 'enter', nothing happens at all ...
any suggestions welcome ...
i have tried reinstalling version 26 , but the same problem occurs.
im running on windows xp

Hi jonniecee, I'll take a guess here. Some of the cache files may have disk space preallocated for them even if internally they are basically empty. This is a way that programs can write to disk faster, by avoiding having asking Windows to allocate more space in small increments.
After a reset, Firefox stores your old settings file on your desktop, in a folder named Old Firefox Data. I suggest keeping that around for a few weeks in case you notice something vital is missing.

    When my ipod touch is in recovery mode (when I try to re-store it) the itunes page sayes the website has been timed out and so it won't re-store. There is a limited time, whilst restoring the ipod, it lasts for approx 5 mins, then asks to start again all over again. Can anyone please help me?

  • Dear all,     Since  Friday morning the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth of my iPhone 4S have not been wirking any more. They appear as "unactive". I restored the system, updated it to 7.0.4., but nothing changed. Can anyone please help me?

    Dear all,
    Since  wednesday  morning the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth of my iPhone 4S have not been wirking any more. They appear as "unactive". I restored the system, updated it to 7.0.4., but nothing changed. Can anyone please help me?

    Last night I wiped the phone and did a complete restore.  Lo and behold the wifi was working again after the restore finished.  GREAT.  30 minutes later went to look at the phone and no wifi again, great!
    So if my wifi chip coincidentally fried itself during the update, I supposed it coincidentally unfried itself during the restore, only to fry itself again later.  Clever chips these.

    Hello Ramirongo,
    If you are trying to update your iPod, then all you need to do is have the latest version of iTunes installed and plug it in. It will check of any updates if they are available and update your iPod. I have also provided the User Guide for your model of iPod as well.

  • Can anyone please help with the 2.3 update in UK?

    Can anyone please help?  I have an unbranded x10 in the UK.  PC companion constantly tells me my phone software is up to date (with android 2.1) so I cannot upgrade to 2.3.  I've tried all the tips on the SE support page like deleting the database content and looking for the setting to update the phone next time it's connected which doesn't exist (very informative SE!).  I'm not keen on this independent software installation through the rapidshare download, it seems full of glitches looking at the forums.  http://www.sonyericsson.com/update/?lc=en&cc=gb&pid=xperiax10  This link clearly tells us the update is available through PC companion, no joy for me though.  Any help is welcome.

    Have a look at this and check your version number see if its listed

  • I have just updated my iphone 4 to the new ios 6.1, now I can not sync my music to my phone via my iTunes. Before I done the update I was able to put the songs on my phone via iTunes, can anyone please help as i really need to put the songs on my phone.

    Hi everyone, I need some help big time. I was currently running the IOS 6.0.1 on my iphone 4 and I could sync and transfer music to my phone via my iTunes account. But I updated my phone to the new IOS 6.1 and now I can not transfer music onto my iphone, all it does is tries to sync the songs but it doesn't. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes back onto my laptop yet it still does not work. Can anyone please help me.

    Everything is Sorted!
    The release of iTunes 11.0.2 and iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4, seems to have sorted everything. I can now sync music, films and photos between my MacBook and my phone.
    I was dubious about blindly doing the updates but decided they couldn't really mess up any further functionality so I went for it and it's sorted now.
    Look in to, and take the gamble, it's up to you.

  • Hi can anyone please help me! My I phone is in recovery mode i lost it and it was returned to me fully working. I ran an update and it shut down. I have loads of pics and vids of my little girls including my youngest counting to ten for the first time.

    Hi can anyone please help. My I Phone is in recovery mode. I have loads of pics and vids including my little girl counting to ten for the first time.
    Can I recover these files or have I lost them? I lost the phone last week and it was returned working but with an update to install I did this and it shut down.
    If anyone can please help I would be eternally in your debt I have loads of sentimental pctures in here but cant get to them.

    Sorry, but if it's in recovery mode, anything on the phone is already gone. If you had PhotoStream turned on, hopefully the photos will still be out there.
    You have no choice at this point but to restore from your last backup.

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in earlier versions there is only one.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • What do i do ? My i phone 4 has no option to reduce the motion picture. It is causing me a serious problem. Can anyone please help ?

    After several attempts to get some help from Apple, it has become clear to me that my i phone 4 has no options within accessibility to reduce the motion picture.
    I have a serious problem with the new software but unfortunatly i cannot go backwards with this update. Apple for obvious reasons will not advise any downgrading options. Can anyone please help me? Is there a third party option here. I do not want to pay for a new phone or replace the i phone as i run a mac,desktop and i pad... !! Thank you.

    I don't quite understand why you have asked me about why I'm keeping my URL secret?
    It's only that I'm not clear why you are reluctant to post it. If you have a podcast in the iTunes Store then it's there for the world to see - they might search on its subject or title, for example, even if they don't actually know about it from you. If you look at other posts in this forum you will see that usually people post their URLs and then I can examine the feed and hopefully find out from that what the problem is. Without this information no-one can give you anything more than wild guesses.
    If you are still reluctant to post the details and want to have a bash at diagnosing the problem yourself you may find my web pages helpful:

    I was not complete clear.
    Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section.  If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
    If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
    But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
    In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

  • Apple TV won't load up. the light flashes and the logo appears on the TV then it just goes off and starts again. I've tried restoring via USB on 5 different computers and I keep getting error message 9? Can anyone please help?

    I have a black Apple TV that has recently stopped working. It loads the Apple Logo on screen then goes off and starts again. It's as if it is stuck in a loop. I've tried a re-boot and this has failed. I have tried a restore using a USB cable on 5 different computers, including a Mac Book Pro and it downloads the update file but when it tries to restore I get the error code 9 showing on screen. I just can't get it to do anything.
    Can anyone please help?

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!
