There's an "updated.app" laying in Firefox package. Since firefox won't start and "updated.app" will, is it safe to replace firefox package with it?

After last update to last version, FF was running fine before a hardware restart.
Since then it won't start and profile manager either. No error message pops up and console window doesn't trace any event.
firefox package contents an "updated" package likely created by last update.
Will i loose my settings or run into any kind of problem by replacing firefox's package with the so called "updated" one?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

  • I have an Epson Workforce 840, is there a driver update that will support AirPrint?

    I have an Epson WorkForce 840, is there a driver update that will support Airprint?

    I ended up buying the Lantronix Print Server, home version (about $100). It worked OK until iOS 7 came out, but then had to be manually upgraded, in order to function. I still have to reboot it sometimes, and it is slow to start printing.
    Thanks for your reply.

    You can only obtain warranty OR post warranty service in the country of original purchase
    As your iPhone has user damage it has no warranty
    IF the iPhone originated from Spain or another EU country you can get out of warranty service in any EU country

    In the other case I must use IE.

  • Firefox will not start and profile manager will not start

    This has happened on two accounts on my laptop. I am running windows 7, 64 bit and firefox 18.0. Firefox had been running on this machine for several years without incident, but suddenly when I try to start firefox, it will not start. The little wait icon spins for about a second then disappears without starting firefox. Other browser will start and run. I reboot and when I click on the icon to start firefox nothing happens. I tried to start the profile manager as seen in the knowledge base, but nothing starts either. I switched to another account on this computer and firefox started and ran for about a week, until today where it just stopped working. I have not tried to reinstall firefox as the message boards say this will not help. Any ideas?

    Thanks for your help. I had tried starting Firefox in safe-mode before I posted this request, but it did not work. I tried to restore the system to an earlier version, but that made everything worse. Two accounts were unusable and one sort of worked, so I reloaded the operating system and now firefox works, for how long, I don't know. But thanks again for your suggestion.

  • HT1349 I'm trying to assist someone who has a macbook with an operating system that is below 10.6.  Is there a software update that will allow an update to 10.6 or higher so that I can then install adobe flash 11.1?

    tI am trying to assist someone (by phone) with a macbook update to flashplayer 11.1.  The message at the end of attempted installation of flashplayer is that because the operating system is earlier than 10.6, the installation cannot be completed.  Is there a free software update available for her operating system?  Is there assistance at an Apple store available for her in area west of Chicago?  She is a senor citizen so will need some assistance in the event that it is a download or installation that I can't walk her through by phone. Thanks for any suggestions or assistance in this regard.

    The person needs to buy Mac OS Snow Leopard (10.6) for $29.00.

  • I want to stream itunes movies I've bought on my ipad air to my lg smart tv.  From the 'Home' screen of the lg, there is no itunes app shown that would somehow let me share info with my ipad air.  Has anyone the answer.  Am I missing something here?

    I have an lg smart TV.  I also just bought an apple ipad air,Wi-Fi Cellular 16GM I've signed up the air to itunes and just purchased a movie on the ipad air.  I was able to stream the movie on my air and my pc, which is of course wirelessly connected to my smart TV.  I've searched the 'Home' screen of the lg to find a way to also stream that movie on the lg.  Am I somehow just not reading right and missing the point, or is what I'm trying to do not possible?

    I have raised this issue with apple support this week too after my Facetime and iMessage stopped working on Saturday.
    Been very interesting to read the ever increasing number of comments and issues being raised on this one (more than 500 views and dozens of replies so far).
    My post is here:
    imessage and Facetime sign in activation error iPad ios8.1.2
    What is especially interesting about your post is that you had your iPad Air replaced in November 2014 in the UK. I bought my iPad Air originally in October 2014, and had to have it replaced in an Apple Store in Bristol in November after the original stopped charging. This does make me wonder if there is a batch of faulty iPads? Mmm...
    I have raised a fully escalated support case with Apple on this, and their latest response is that a 'patch' or fix is being investigated by their engineers and to wait a week or so at which point they might be releasing it to affected users - or even across every users.
    I wish there was a way to get this to Apple's attention and the wider media as well, but I don't know how best to do that.
    I guess the best thing we can do is keep hassling Apple for a response and raising support cases

  • There is a white straight line which comes under the Most Visited, Getting Started and latest headlines and continues to be on the entire firefox. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but does not work.

    Hello Iqbal.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • Will there be any update so I can use my ipod shuffle 3rd generation with the new earpods?

    Or I just have to throw my ipod away?! And expect to do the same with my other apple products in the future?!
    If I bought this one is because it has features I like that new ones don't have, so they can't tell me to pick a new one!
    THIS IS WHERE APPLE SATISFACTION POLICY SHOULD APPEAR.

    If you purchased it within the last 14 days you can return it for a full refund and then purchase the 5G. Otherwise Apple will only give you a 10% recycling discount if you turn in an old iPod and purchase a new one.
    Sounds like a cosmetic crack. That is not covered by the warranty. Neither is accidental damage. Al you can do is make an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store and ask.

  • Firefox won't start, and I cannot download the new version as it keeps saying 'unspecified error' when I try

    We (my wife and I) downloaded the new version of firefox, but found that it was being very jerky and slow and just didn't really like how it looked. My wife did a system restore on our computer to see if that helped, and since then firefox hasn't started at all - if we double click on the icon, it looks like it's doing something and then it just doesn't open. Whenever I try and download it again it comes up with 'unspecified error'. I've tried deleting all the firefox program files from my computer first, but there is one file in conponents that it won't let me because I need administrator permission. It doesn't seem to make any difference anyway.

    Using "System Restore" can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because not all files are restored (only files in a white-list), so be cautious with using System Restore.<br />
    You need to (re)install software that was affected.<br />
    Remove the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) before reinstalling a freshly downloaded Firefox copy to do a clean install.
    You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
    *Firefox 11.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    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.

  • Firefox won't start and XP won't let me end the process(es).

    After having used firefox for ages with no problems, I tried to open a new Firefox window, and it wouldn't open. I opened the XP task manager and tried to end all of the firefox tasks (there were at least two)... Neither of them would end. No "are you sure message." Nothing. ...And firefox won't open.
