Since upgrading to Firefox 5.0, the screen freezes & have to force quit in order to get the browser to work. This happens every time I try to use it.

Every time I open Firefox, within several minutes, the screen freezes, and the only way I can make it work is to force quit.
This works for awhile, and then I go through the whole thing
again.

c uses the same profile folder as the Windows and Linux platform.
You can locate the Firefox Profile Folder via
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Copy and Paste this code in the Code field in the "Tools > Error Console" and click the Evaluate button to see the location of the profile folder.

hello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly

Yes:
Step 1: Delete the preview cache.
That's it!
So, the trick is to find the preview cache.
This document gives location:
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html
To be clear: it's a folder in with your catalog and you want to delete the whole folder but nothing else.
If your catalog file path is "X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog.lrcat", then the preview cache "folder" will be:
X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog Previews.lrdata
So the trick is to find your catalog file, and since Lr won't open your catalog and run, you can't use it to find out.
But you should be able to find it by searching your disks for *.lrcat files - do you know how to do that?
Which OS?
If you know the name of the catalog it will help, but also: it's probably NOT in with your program files.
UPDATE: The above-mentioned document gives default name and location for preview cache, so if you haven't overridden the default, it should be right where that document said it would be - is it? (of course you need to know your user name too, but presumably you do, no?).

When I open Firefox, 'Restore Session' comes up, but it's blank: none of my tabs are actually in the window, and 'restore session' isn't clickable in that window or under 'History'. This happens every time now, whether it's 80 tabs or 2. What's happened?

I'm on an HP laptop, using Firefox 7.0.1; the first time this happened I'd had to hard-shutdown and restart. I don't clear my history on closing or anything. No new plugins.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well. 
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

I just installed Creative Cloud and I have had a blue rotating circle for the last 40 minutes in the screen. Have tried force quit and restarting and problem persists.

I just downloaded Creative Cloud for Photographers and nothing seems to be starting. I cannot download photoshop or lightroom because there is a blue circle in the creative cloud window

I have similar problems. I install cc-app, start it and get an empty cc screen with a blue timer in the middle of the screen that gives me the impression it tries to connect to something.
I have been browsing this forum for days and have tried 'everything' I could find:
- turned off firewall
- connected directly to the internet without a router
- opened ports
- uninstalled cc multiple times
- uninstalled all Adobe software (used to run CS6)
- used cc-cleaner
- manually deleted all adobe related directories
- removed the OOBE directory multiple times
- gave cc administrator permissions
I'm using windows 7.
Another thing I noticed: when cc is running in the background and I play a computer game, cc takes me back to windows. This only stops when I turn off cc.

Every time I try to use my camera, the screen goes black.

Every time I try to use the camera on my 4S, the screen goes black and goes back to my home screen. Also, my call waiting does not show who is calling in when i am already on the phone with a caller. This just stared in the last couple of weeks. I'm very frustrated. I wonder what else isn't working that I haven't come upon yet.

Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...

I just spoke with Tesco technical support (having been transferred to them by Clubcard support), who told me that the problems people are experiencing when visiting the Tesco site via Safari aren't currently being addressed because "not enough people have called to complain about it".
I asked what percentage of people he thought might make the effort to call instead of just giving up. He replied that he would be one of those who just gave up.
So it would seem that if we would like the problem to be resolved, we each need to take a few moments to CALL TESCO and ensure our complaint is logged by the technical support team.
Every voice helps

Move your cursor way over to the right side of the window. There should be a thin bar. when you hover over the left side of the thin bar, the cursor will change to a vertical bar with an arrow sticking out the left. Click and drag to the left.

Try reset
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
If no joy, restore backup using iTunes.
Finally last attempt, rsetore as new and sync content back manually.

Firefox 4 hangs up, loops on itself, or freezes every time I try to use it, why?

Since I upgraded to Firefox 4, every time I try to use it it hangs up. I click on a button or try to scroll down and nothing happens. I have to use the force quit function to get out of it because it won't even let me quit it normally. I have let it sit for hours and nothing changes, I can't get any information from my mac because I have to force quit firefox so there is no crash report. This did not happen with any previous version of Firefox.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Since upgrading to Firefox 5.0, the screen freezes & have to force quit in order to get the browser to work. This happens every time I try to use it.
