The Firefox What's New screen will not go away after updating to Firefox 10.0.

I updated Firefox to 10.0 on my Acer Laptop. Now every time I open Firefox the What's new page loads along with my chosen homepage in another tab. I can not stop the What's new page from loading.
No problem on my desktop, the What's new page loaded once then disappeared after that as it normally does.

  • The firefox "whats new" page will not go away after a restart. All settings changes in firefox do not stay either. What can I do? I have tried deleting the localstore file also and its a no go.

    This happens with the new version of firefox. We have many computers with new fox on it and not the same problem. only certain ones.

    Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

    Well, it is showing as being install in the version of Firefox that you posted here with.

    Probably caused by an extension, or a couple of extensions that are in conflict with each other. <br />

  • For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps.  When i click update, it acts as if it is going to update but puts all apps in "waiting" status.  I've tried selecting each, as well as deleting and re-downloading but to no avail.

    For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps.  I've tried selecting each to click off wait, and have selected new updates indvidually instead of all together.  Also have shut the phone down and have even deleting the apps completely and re-downloaded but to no avail.  Each app continues to sit on my screen with the line below as if it is about to download but never does, and now any apps I've tried to updated will not let me use them.

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • Facetime login screen will not go away

    My "Sign into Facetime" screen will not go away even when I hit cancel it keeps popping back up - rendering my iphone almost useless. Any ideas?

    If restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve the problem then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipad will not power on after update. I have tried connecting to computer which doesn't recognize it. I have pushed top and circle buttons at same time. It had a battery charge before it died.  I tried to stop the upload and am afraid it 'crashed'

    My first genteration ipad will not power on after update. I have tried connecting to the authorized computer which won't recognize it - does not acknowledge a device is plugged in. I have pushed top and circle buttons at same time. It had a battery charge before it died.  I tried to stop the upload midway and am afraid it 'crashed'

    Try putting it into recovery mode.
    Connect iPad to your computer via USB while it's turned on.
    Open iTunes
    Hold the iPad's Sleep/Wake switch (power button on the top of the iPad) down until the "power off" slider appears.
    Power off the iPad completely (wait for the progress spinner to disappear).
    Hold the Sleep/Wake switch AND the Home button down for a full 10 seconds.
    After 10 seconds (the second time you'll see the Apple logo on the screen) release the Sleep/Wake switch while still holding the Home button.
    Continue to hold the Home button for another 10 seconds until the USB connection image appears on the iPad's screen, then release the Home button.
    A pop-up message will appear on iTunes saying it has detected an iPad in recovery mode, you must restore...
    Click on the "Restore" button and the process will begin.

  • I have an iPhone 4 and recently updated the software.  Since then, the screen will not turn off after the 1 minute autolock.  How do i fix this?

  • HT6058 my ipad screen will not rotate since latest update

    my ipad scrren will not rotate since latest update, i have done everything i can think of including wha tapple told me

    What have you tried, and what did Apple tell you ?
    Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If there isn't a lock symbol then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My brand new iMac will not power up after an update restart, any suggestions?

    Any suggestions on why my IMac will not power up after it done a restart?

    Try an SMC reset and PRAM reset: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603
    If that doesn't help:
    See if it will start in Safe Boot: restart holding down the Shift key until you see a grey progress bar, type your admin password when prompted, let it continue to (hopefully) boot. Restart as normal from the Apple menu.
    If that didn't help, try booting into the Recovery HD: restart holding down Command+r and choose Disk Utility from the four choices when they appear on screen. Once DU has launched select your Macintosh HD on the left and click on 'repair disk'. If anything gets changed click on repair disk again until you get a clear pass, restart as normal from the Apple menu.
    If you still have problems, give AppleCare a call.

  • IMac screen will not come on after sleep

    iMac screen does not come on after sleeping for a period of time - twice now from overnight. The back seems to be warm. I have to hold the on button until I hear the drive and system shut down.  Then after period of time it will start just fine.  ?????

    I know that some of the older imacs had overheating problems that caused unexpected sleep.  try to keep the display darker and keep the room not too hot.  That seems to usually solve the issue.

  • Can't download music from the cloud. Cloud/down arrow will not go away, Any suggestions?

    iPod works fine. iPhone songs have cloud/down arrow and will not go away.

    I, too, am having this same issue with my purchased music. I have had every issue with iOS 7 and I'm at my wits end. I thought all had been corrected, and then last night I purchased an album, the first time since the update, and it absolutely will NOT download to my phone. I have had it with this iOS7 and one of the phones on my plan is due for upgrade, and I'm THIS close.... Please let me know if you find a solution or if yours is corrected.

  • Videos will not play, even after updating multiple extensions

    So, I've had this problem for a couple of days. I believe it has to do with the most recent up date to flash as I did not have this problem before and unfortunately I do not know how to undo what's been done. The video remains black, seemingly no matter what I do.
    Here's what I've done so far:
    Updated the flash player plugin
    Updated Realplayer
    Tried safemode, turning off add-ons
    Turn on and off extensions
    Deleting firefox, and all of it's data, and then reinstalling
    I also troubleshooted compatibility and am running firefox on Windows XP (Service Pack 2)
    So I don't know what to do any more, also, when ever I'm on the tab with the video the little loading icon next to my mouse cursor pops up and blinks rapidly, like it's desperately trying to load the video and just can't seem to find it or something.

    Hello,
    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

  • Word will not open anymore after update

    Word will not open anymore after update

    Hold down the Shift key when launching Word.
    If that fails, try deleting this file.
    ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.microsoft.Word.savedState
    Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar.
    Log In and launch Word.
    Still failing...
    If Word failed to launch in Guest, then you need to re-install Office.
    Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 14.4.1 Update (If you have an early installer you'll first need to update to 14.1.0)
    Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 14.4.2 Update (requires 14.1.0 to be installed)
    Important to restart after each updater.

  • Phone stuck in recovery mode complete black screen will not turn on after recovery and update there was an error and now computer and itunes will not recognize the phone....Anyone know what I can do to get the phone recognized again when it cant be turned

    Phone was not updated on time so it automatically shuts off and you get a plain black screen until it is recovered and updated. Well when i did the update and recovery I received an error. I went through the steps to fix the error, I had to restart my computer and now the phone isnt recognized on my computer or in itunes. The screen is still completely black so pushing the home button and plugging in to computer still does nothing. Device manager shows nothing in usb port, and apple mobile device software is installed and running. Any help?

    Hello agardner37701,
    I found some steps you can take when your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when in Recovery Mode.  I recommend reviewing the steps in the section titled "If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode" under step 5 in the following article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

  • IBook migration to Macbook not working, and have tried every solution I have seen on the internet, still my new MB will not recognize the ibook.  Plz help if you can.

    It's pretty much what I have seen others write about, only I have not gotten any of their solutions to work.  Last thing I tried was a new firewire cable.  The mb can't see my ibook wirelessly either.  Now I have a new computer and no way to really use it.  This is probably my 20th Mac and I have been using them since 1988, and this is just about the very first time I have been frustrated with a Mac, unable to fix it, and ready to send it back.  So any help here would be appreciated.

    Which exact model is the iBook? Is it the Mac that's running Mac OS X 10.4.11? The System Profiler (Applications > Utilities > System Profiler) will tell you, but if you're not sure, you can choose from this list:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
    Which exact model is the MacBook? Again, the System Profiler will tell you, but If you're not sure, you can choose from this list:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/index-macbook.html
    (I'm assuming it's not the latest MacBook because the new ones are no longer equipped with FireWire ports.)
    Which version of the OS is the MacBook running?
    Kappy's User Tip may help you out:

    Even if the two could connect wirelessly, it's not advisable to do larger transfers in that way. It is painfully slow.
