Strange firefox issue(no titlebar) after compiz update

Hi,
I ran pacman -Syu and it updated my compiz, and immediately after, all the firefox windows open with no title bar, i have to press f11 twice, once to put it in full screen, and once to bring it back to regular, to get the title bar back. any ideas?

A GOOD IDEA.
Just disable the resizing windows option within compizconfig settings manager

Firefox will not start after interrupted update to 5.0

Lenovo x200 | Windows 7 32bit | Firefox 5.0
I was updating Firefox from version 3.6 (I think) to 5.0. Simultaneously I had done a update on Windows that seemed to have stopped. The update of Firefox had also come to a stop. As I remember it the installation was complete, and I was attempting to start the program, when Firefox was checking compatibility with installed plug-ins and so forth.
The Windows updates installed fine afterwards but after several reinstalls of Firefox, I still can't seem to get it to start.
There is no error message or notification at all when trying to start Firefox.
One processes is created, staying steady at 50% CPU and 26 404 K memory.
If i try to open another instance of Firefox I get a process that takes 0% CPU and about 1 844 K memory.
Summary:
Firefox fails to start after interrupted update to 5.0 from 3.6.
There is no error message.
Firefox never starts (and the process never shuts down), just shows in the Task Manager under Processes steady at 50% CPU and about 26 000 K memory (I've seen it do this for at least 20 minutes, before terminating it).

Thanks kenton. But now pop-up says beta 5.
The ''real issue'' is what is going on. On one machine the update process works, but on my other machine it does not.

Firefox won't start after an update. Firefox help says check virtualization settings. What is virtualization settings and where do you check them and for what? I have Windows XP

Firefox won't start after downloading update. I've reinstalled Firefox, still won't start. Help says check virtualization settings. What and where are virtualization settings? I have Windows XP.

This might be Zone Alarm since it provides virtualization. Please try the instructions to turn off virtualization in the following support question

You Tube not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update

You Tube and other sites are not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update for both. Adobe Flash is working on other sites but not You tube and those sites that may have embedded You Tube videos, I'm not sure.
Adobe Flash does not crash and no error message is showing. All that shows is a dark screen for the Flash video. Right clicking the screen shows only a non-clickable 'Movie not loaded' and the clickable link to the Adobe home page.
I have spent an hour trying things as suggested for past problems similar to this but none have helped.
I have sent sad face letting you know what I think of the latest update because of this which says pretty much the same thing as I have said here.
I have no further info but if I had some input and queries form you I might be able to provide more.

I'm not sure how to remove the 12.xxx version,. I don't understand why it is there, usually updates over wirte the old one as far as I know. I don't know where to find it.
pref .js deleted.
I could not find a user.js
I disabled hardware acceleration on one of them, not sure which and I don't remember how I did it but think it must have been on the flash.
No idea what protected mode is
no new profile, I've never done this.
Ok, did what you have said as much as I could. I have been fidgeting with things now for a couple hours. After doing a CCleaner and Registry cleanse, turning off and restarting the computer, the videos are now p-laying.
I would still like to know how to find and get rid of the duplicate Flash plug in though if you would't mind.
Thanks for the help.

I do not see much about coloum 14, but I am guessing this file is stored somewhere and its corrupt. Update.xul suggests that it is the update file. Do you still have this in your downloads folder? There are two places for update and for a clean reinstall:
[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/] in a private window will give you a new install or you can choose from here: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/]
This is what the file should look like; [http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/log/7a2edc5171e6/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/content/update.xul] If you can copy and paste that file from a working browser we can see the issue, but it will just look the same as the error.
if you can replace the contents of the file locally with what it should look like it will fix the error, but who knows if there are other errors. May be best to delete the updater and save all the profile folder contents.

Trackpas issues, started right after Magicprefs update

Last week I had a software update for my Magicprefs system. Soon after the download finished, I started having issues with my trackpad. Every time I try to scroll up on my trackpad an error message comes up that says Switch Space Up; Your operating system is missing the Swith Space Up keyboard shortcut (different from the key printed, hardware shortcut.) The only option it gives me is to open up the system preferences every time the message comes up. This happens every time I scroll up. It is really annoying. Does anyone know how I could fix this?

I just started having trackpad issues right around that Magicprefs update. My trackpad became unresponsive and most clicks would actually act as a ctrl + click which is very annoying.
I've deleted the app and things seem pretty smooth so far. Sorry I can't help but you helped me find my issue I think!

N97, issues still unresolved after software update

I was happy to see the latest software update from Nokia for N97 hoping it would have solved the issues but I was very disappointed experiencing the same problems that I was getting before and worst part was new problems have also
been experienced.
Old problem which is still not solved
It is still impossible to get the phone working if it switches off by battery getting fully drained. The battery doesn't start
charging even if you put the phone in charging for 24 hours. The charging light blinks but the phone doesnt charge.
New problem after software update
Even if the phone is put on charge for 24 hours, it doesnt get fully charged. Infact the battery indicator doesn't climb up after 2 points and after using the phone for a small time, it says battery discharged and phone switches off.
I have always been stuck to Nokia phones since I've started using handphones but am having the worst experience with
this N97. God knows when the Nokia people will wake up and provide a final solution to this.

Try pulling the battery and leaving it out for 5 minutes. Put back together and commence a recharge. Se if that helps.

ISSUE IN Z2 after Lollipop Update: Wi-Fi always On

I'm using Xperia Z2, and this week I've update it into official Android Lollipop 5.0.2 through PC Companion. However, after the update installed, i seen a horrible WiFi problem: It's "always on". Even after I turn off scanning always available option on Advance Setting, the WiFi still on, as seen from the Battery Usage. This problem makes my Z2's keep awake and taking a huge battery loss. Could you please give me a solution for this problem? Thank you for your answer.

You may need to perform a software repair using PC Companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

Firefox 22 keeps crashing after I updated it. Scripts keep freezing. I also updated shockwave, etc. (addons). Did not have this issue before updating.

After the latest FF update every page seems to freeze up and I get script error pop ups that cause the FF browser to hang forever. Only happened after updating FF and shockwave, I have had to disable shockwave flash which seems to fix the problem, but I can't watch videos. I had to add the NoScript addon just to see browser pages... not very good as it kills pretty much everything. Also I noticed that the newest version of java deployment kit has been rendered UNSAFE by FF. Why, and what to do about that issue also? Thanks.

The combination of a recent Windows update and the Flash player plugin's protected mode caused pages to hang for me with the eventual script error.
* You can disable protected mode following the steps in this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]

Firefox and Adobe problems after Flash update last night

OK, this is a non-Apple question, but I haven't found any solution yet.
Everyone knows that to run the "Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in, Version 10.1.3" in Firefox, you had to open in 32-bit mode. I did and that plug-in, plus the "Adobe Acrobat Create PDF 1.2" extension worked just fine running Firefox 12. Tonight I got notification that I needed to update Adobe Flash Player. I did (quitting and restarting Firefox after the installation).
THEN up popped a warning - Firefox suggesting that I disable the NPAPI plug-in and finding out here that Firefox was disabling the plug-in. So I disabled it, restarted, etc. Then I found that the Create PDF plug-in would crash if I tried to save a web page as PDF within Firefox.
Is there any way to go BACK to the older Flash plug-in? That seems to be at the root of my problem. I can use PDF Browser plug-in in Firefox to display PDF files but what I really need is the Create PDF extension back (it's strangely absent from Safari - at least I've not been able to find it).
Any help out there?
Thanks,
Clinton

Create PDF or save as PDF?

Pete,
I can always use the PDF creator "Save as Adobe PDF" that is available from the Print menu and added by Acrobat Pro X, but it does not always save the hyperlinks correctly, etc., where the Adobe Create PDF does a fantastic job... I'd just like to have it back. It does not show up in the Safari extensions/add-ons for some reason.
Thanks for getting back so quickly!
Clinton
Then you may well have to go to the Mozilla Forums on this one. As I say, I steer clear of Firefox because of all it's bulky extentions.
Good Luck

Firefox will not open after new update; Error: Platform version '1.9.2.13' is not compatible

After accepting the new update I got this error message when trying to restart Firefox:
XULRunner
Error: Platform version ‘1.9.2.13’ is not compatible with
minVersion >= 1.9.2.14
maxVersion <= 1.9.2.14
I have tried:
- Opening in Safe Mode; same error
- Uninstalling, deleting remaining info in C>ProgramFiles>MozillaFirefox folder, and reinstalling.
- Updating Avast antivirus in case that was interfering.
Now when I try to start Firefox I get this message;
Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.
But there is nothing happening in the Windows Task Manager. Please, somebody save me from Windows Internet Explorer!!

I experienced this error updating from Firefox 3.6.13 to 3.6.14 and resolved it by doing a 'clean' install' as described. It occurred again in updating from 3.6.14 to 3.6.15 and this time a clean install failed to rectify it. (Anyway, I don't want to have to go through this every time.)
Work-around: Shut down Firefox. Edit application.ini (typically "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\application.ini")
[Gecko]
MinVersion=1.9.2.15
Change to 1.9.2.13
Save. Start Firefox. Dirty? Yes. Works? Yes.
(Gecko is the forerunner or XULrunner)

Firefox will not start after an update, I cannot log in to Firefox in any manner.

Firefox does not work any more and every time I attempt to access it (even in Safe Mode) it displays the following message:
Firefox.exe- Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point JS_GetOperationLimit could not be located in the dynamic link library js3250.dll.
I have absolutely no way of getting into Firefox to undo whatever has gone wrong, is it still possible to solve this without having to completely purge and reinstall Firefox?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I clicked on something else during the installation of an update and Firefox has failed to start ever since ==

Thanks kenton. But now pop-up says beta 5.
The ''real issue'' is what is going on. On one machine the update process works, but on my other machine it does not.
The machines are identical IBM T60s with Windows XP.
This is a real mystery, as well as being annoying.
A clue or suggestion any one?

Firefox will not start after an update.

I have to manually uninstall Firefox and manually install the update every time.
I asked a similar question before. The response was to start in safe mode. BUT the program will not start. It acts as if there is a software switch set to "don't run this program under any circumstance." The switch is either in the registry or among the program files, because these both get cleared on a manual uninstall. The update procedure is not clearing the registry or the program files.
Does the update process uninstall the previous version and then install the update version?
Part 2 --
I often cannot find the update manually on the Firefox site.
I am on the Beta release channel. The current release is 33.0 beta 4. However, the most recent on the site is beta 3. Where is 33.0 beta 4?
OS is Windows XP latest release.

Firefox will not open after recent update of all computer lab servers, Windows server 2008 R2, Multipoint 2011

All 3 computer lab servers were recently updated and rebooted. Java was updated as well to 7u21. Now all 3 do not respond when Firefox icon is clicked, from any thin-client or remote desktop session/user. There is no popup error, just an hour-glass for about 5 seconds and then nada. IE is fine. I can't tell if it was the java update or a windows security update, and I'm not seeing anything in the error logs

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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.
