Since upgrading to latest version I cannot open Skype

I upgraded Firefox and ever since, when I turn on the PC I get a message that Skype has encountered a problem and cannot open. The sam happens when I go to the desktop Skype icon. I seem to recall that whenI was upgrading Firefox there was a message about two applications being disabled?? One was a Kodak thing and the other a Windows Net???

Why have file sizes in Pages increased since upgrading to latest version?

Hi, I use Pages to compose a monthly newsletter for my yacht club. For that purpose I preferred it to Word because it was so easy to add, resize and position photographs. Before circulating the newsletter to club members, I convert the file to PDF format using the print as PDF option. Last year I was able to put 25 or so photos along with text over 5 pages and finish with a file size of less than 5 MB, which is about as big as I can send without dozens being bounced by members' email filters. Since upgrading my Mac to "Mountain Lion" (and then to "Mavericks") and upgrading Pages, I can't include more than 7 or 8 photos on 2 pages without going over my 5 MB limit. The finished file size seems to be two or three times the combined file sizes of the photos that I include.
Any suggestions for reducing file size? I already use as low a photo resolution as I can.

Peter - thank you so much for this very helpful reply. I had assumed that having "upgraded" I would be condemned to putting up with the Pages 5. I would never have thought of looking in the iWork folder for an older version. Needless to say I can't use Pages 09 to open documents written in pages 5 - but that's no loss. I note that January's newsletter was a hefty 15.5 MB in size, whereas December's, which contains more pages and many more photos was only 2.5 MB.
Thanks again.
Fruhulda - I look forward to reading more of the discussion of the last few months. Being new to the forum it may take me some time to find it.

Firefox crshed after downloading latest version. Cannot open Firefox8 either

After downloading FF9, it crashed. I reported the problem, but have not heard. FF 8 is still listed but I cannot open it. All I have is the FF icon on my desktop and clicking on it does nothing. How do I get FF back?Every time I try to open it, I get the same message"sorry FF crashed>>>>"

Right-click on the Firefox toolbar and select Menu Bar to show the menu bar.
Can you describe further the reloading issue please?

Since installing the latest version I cannot scroll down my pages using the button on the pad on my laptop

I had the old version of Firefox and was invited to install this version when it had finished i went back on line only to find the button on the laptop mouse pad no longer scrolls down the page. I now have to drag it down with the bar at the side.

Use "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit) to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar.

You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
You can trash Firefox 4.0 then re-install Firefox 3.6, it will use your existing bookmarks, passwords etc
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after installed last version...

Well, then isn't there some way to induce Firefox to give Windows parameters that make it open the fershlugginer window in the *same* position, instead of an offset position?

There are a number of similar topics in this forum over the last few days. There are indications that this problem may be caused by a rootkit infection.
Google "scan for rootkits" to find if your machine is infected.

Have been going into and out of Firefox since 1530GMT without problems but message on main screen has change to normal one from stating "Upgrade to latest version" and I'm puzzled how that can have happened ?

This is a follow up to my message sent around 1529GMT where very time I started Firefox, it would show the message "Upgrade to latest version. So I did - every day for last four days - but the Upgrade message would still be there. Suddenly, today from 1600-ish GMT the problem has disappeared. Has someone changed something somewhere ?

this is total bullshit. so frustrated with this nonsense.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot open my File Maker Pro files. Can I use Numbers to open these files?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot open my File Maker Pro files. Can I use Numbers to open these files?

Numbers is a spreadsheet program and FileMaker is a database program, so you probably can't use Numbers to open them unless you had first exported them from FileMaker in a spreadsheet-compatible format.
If you upgraded from 10.6 Snow Leopard or earlier and your old copy of FileMaker won't open anymore, it might be a PowerPC application that is not compatible with 10.7 and later. If that is the case, to work with your FileMaker files you should upgrade your copy of FileMaker to the latest version, which seems to be FileMaker 12.

I have an IBM Think Pad and since installing the latest version of Firfox, the trackpoint scrolling on my mouse no longer works

I have an IBM Think Pad and since installing the latest version of Firfox, the trackpoint scrolling on my mouse no longer works

Try to modify the pref ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled on the about:config page from the default value -1 to 0 or 1 to see if that makes the scroll pad work. 
Close and restart Firefox after changing the pref.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

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.
