The urgent notice to update to Firefox 5.0 for security reasons warned that"Incompatible Add-ons Found" and won't work until made compatible but how do I make them"compatible?"

When I tried to respond to the urgent notice to update to Firefox 5.0 for security reasons I was stopped by a screen that said "Incompatible Add-ons Found" It identified two add-ons, Move Media Player 1.0.0.07103010 and Real Player Browser Record Plugin 14.0.3 that would be disabled. It said that "as soon as they are "made compatible" Firefox will update and re-enable these add-ons" It is not clear who is to make them compatile. I have no idea how to make them compatible and I don't even know what they are for. I don't want to lose any functionality as the result of an update, so what should I do?

    You can use the portable Firefox version for websites that only work with older Firefox versions.
    You can find the portable Firefox 2.0.0.20 version under "Mozilla Firefox, P.E. Legacy > Mozilla Firefox":

    Are you sure that the HSBC bank site only supports such an old Firefox version?
    A bank site should known better then to force visitors to use old and no longer supported browser versions.
    Can you post a link to a page that you can access without authorization (log in) that gives such an error message ?
    Do they have a help page that list supported browsers?

  • My 5-minute-old AppleId account was disabled immediately for security reasons. I have followed instructions carefully and although I seem to be able to change my password, I cannot login using the new password bcs account disabled for security reasons!

    It is probably something to do with the fact that I am in the Philippines, but what am I supposed to do? According to the support options I have to pay to open a support ticket. My account was not verified when it was disabled and I think I might be in some sort of deadlock in which the password reset won't work because I'm not verified, and the verification won't work because I can't log in.
    I've never bought a single Apple product before and this has got to be the worst intro I could have imagined!

    Solved.
    After about an hour on the phone with US support (who were very helpful I must say) it turns out that if you do not have an iTunes account with credit card information and a billing address, you are very much more likely to get your AppleId account disabled "for security reasons". This begs the question of course as to whose security we are talking about here! But there you go. If you are an Apple first-timer, get an iTunes account, fill in all your details, and you should be alright.
    Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

  • Updated to Firefox 4.0.1 5/21/11 on Windows 7 (64 bit) system. All worked until yesterday. Now Firefox crashes immediately when I try to launch it. Crash report gives reason as "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ". What is happening and how can I fix it??

    Immediately on attempt to launch, Crash Reporter pops up.

    Hey Guys,
    I managed to fix this issue myself..I can access the home page as normal.
    This is what fixed the issue.
    Step 1 : Un-installed Oracle XE while logged in to the domain. ( Made sure it cleaned all installation files and registry and env variables by cross checking registry as mentioned here .
    Step 2 : Logged in as admin on the local machine ( not domain ) and reinstalled it. Now it works just fine. (Closed all programs - didn’t open any programs..just ran Oracle installation )
    I did install oracle xe logged in as a domain user before ( and my domain is user is part of local administrators) and it all worked just fine. May be it’s a permissions issue ( though I ran oracle installation as admin ) or host name change issue.
    Phew..anyhow..finally it works!!
    Cheers.

  • How do I tell if some kind of malware has been installed on my computer? My daughter answered the phone and they had her go to a site for ammyy admin.  I don't think she was successful at doing what they wanted but how do I make sure?

    I don't know how to tell if the phone scam that was pulled on my daughter was successful or not? They had her go to a site for Ammyy Admin. My husband who was home at the time and not at all computer literate thinks that it wasn't successful but how do I tell for sure?
    Thanks!!

    It's not very likely that any harm came of this. It sounds as though they were trying to get your daughter to enter some personal information into the website. If she did not do this then don't lose any sleep over it.
    If she did, just change whatever passwords that might have been associated with the personal information she provided.
    If your computer starts exhibiting some heretofore strange behaviour, pay attention to it so that you might describe what it is. As I say this is unlikely to happen.

  • I'm running the same version of Firefox on one computer in Windows 7 and on another computer in Windows XP. How can I make them look the same? Bookmarks is a button on the right in W7 and a tab at the top left in XP.

    I am already running Sync for bookmarks, but I don't understand how to make Firefox have the same format at the top of the screen. I don't want to Sync tabs, so I haven't tried that option.

    There is no bookmarks tab, expect you are referring to the bookmarks menu on the menu bar ("File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help") on your XP system.
    Once your restore your menus on you Window 7 system, you can get rid of the bookmarks button. After going through the 10 steps below your toolbars on your Windows 7 system will be more usable again and like your XP system, none of which has anything to do with Sync.
    You can make '''Firefox 6.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

    There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.

  • How can I get my pay statements on the ADP portal to show up? I've restarted with add-ons disabled, and other browsers work; is this a Java or Flash issue?

    http://portal.adp.com/ -> Pay & Taxes -> Pay Statements
    There's a list of pay statements with links (blue text) from each pay date. If I click one, all these links turn to purple text, and I get taken to a page that it supposed to have a pay statement, but just has a big blank area where the statement should be. I'm pretty sure all my plugins are up to date.
    Unfortunately, you need to have an account with ADP to check this out. Everyone else in my department who uses Firefox has had the same problem, though. It seems to be recent -- within the last month or two. Could it have something to do with Firefox updates? Again, it works on Chrome and Explorer.

    I had the same problem - started with Firefox 23. If I log in to adp portal at https://portal.adp.com/public/index.htm and try to click on a single pay stub, all pay stubs become highlighted and I get a blank page. However, if I log into directly to Ipay at https://ipay.adp.com/iPay/login.jsf (same login and password gets me in), I have no problem viewing my individual stubs. Company says it is a problem with Adobe 11 (which works fine with IE).

  • After installing new Add-on,Firefox want me to restart to complete add-on installing,but when I restart firefox,add-on dissapears from Add-ons manager and won't install

    After installing add-on,when Firefox ask me to restart to complete installation,in extensions folder it creates staged folder,but when i restart,this folder will removed and add-on not installed.
    The Problem first happened when some extensions would not uninstalled and Firefox keep saying that addon will be uninstalled after restart,but nothing happen after restart.
    So with following this instruction:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot%20uninstall%20an%20add-on
    After safe mode not worked either,I uninstalled extension with their IDs manually.After that I cannot install any add-on that needs restart.

    This can be caused if one of the files that stores details of installed extensions is corrupt.
    # Open your profile folder, for details of how to find it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
    # Close Firefox
    # Delete the following files if they exist, extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini and extensions.sqlite
    # Re-start Firefox, it will then rebuild the list on installed extensions

  • Account disabled for security reasons - what about the music I purchased ?

    Hello to you all Apple/Mac lovers ,
    I have a problem : my iTunes/Apple ID was disabled for "security reasons". That I suppose I can understand - although I can't figure out what danger I represent for Apple and iTunes.
    The problem though is that I purchased some music on the iTunes Store and now I need to re-enter my account ID and password to listen to it - but since the account was deleted the iTunes Store accept or recognize the ID/password combination and it tells me why : "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons.". This is how I first learned my account had been disabled.
    How can I listen to my music now ? Thanks in advance for your advice !
    Charles

    Yes I got it to work your link was the right one. Here's how it works : the security reason was that I or someone else tried to use my account and entered a wrong password 5 times or 10 times in a row. That's why my account was blocked. So all I - or anyone - has to do is to ask for a new password using Apple's password recovery tool, iForgot. There was on link on that page you sent me, or on one of the help and FAQ pages it linked to, so that's how I got there and that's how I did it. Thanks a lot !!

  • Is it possible to disable all funktions in the loocking screen, even turn off button (also for security reasons if lost cannot be turned of until code entered or battery low....)?

    Hello, is it possible to turn of all functions in the locking screen? even the turn off function (also for security reasons / so that it cant be turned of while using find your iphone?)

    Yes of course, i know... havn`t lost it but however makes it harder to steal (get bettery out of it or find an area with no cellular connection which are well developed here isnt that easy as just to turn  off the device).
    It only makes it marginally harder to steal. There are many ways to defeat Find my iPhone; turning it off is only one of them. Others:
    Remove the SIM
    Wrap in aluminum foil
    Drop in a shoplifter's bag or backpack that is metal lined
    Run the battery down
    Connect to a computer and restore the phone
    Requiring a passcode to turn the phone off would also make the millions of users whose phone was not stolen very annoyed that they can't easily turn off their phone.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
