This doesn't work - Reset Firefox to its default state "Click the menu button New Fx Menu and then click help Help-29 .
You say this will help and first sentence under your "Reset Firefox to its default state." is worthless !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you don't see the '''Reset Firefox''' button on the Troubleshooting Information page in Firefox, you may not be using the ''default=1'' Profile as listed in the profiles.ini file.

My ipad 2 just went off. It was working perfectly while charging. I have pressed the power button for ten seconds and it's still not coming on. What do I do?
First, confirm that the iPad is charged and then try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again. -

I click the "Tools" tab, then click the "Add-ons" tab. If I then click anywhere on the "Add-ons" dialog box, the dialog box immediately closes. I can't install plug-ins or add-ons. However, this happens only with my account. Other users have no such problem. I have also tried going to the "Add-ons" dialogue box through "Tools" then "Options." I still cannot get into the "Add-ons" tab; the dialog box closes. I have tried using the keyboard instead of the mouse; same problem.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I am unsure what caused it. I have tried re-installing firefox.Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

I'm trying to manually sync all my music to my iPod touch, but whenever I click the sync button it counts to 5 then stops. Is this because I have to check all 3055 songs individually? If so then I'm quitting with apple as a whole....
Sync and manually manage are two entirely different things. You either sync or manually manage.
Manually manage is drag and drop.
Sync is when you select what you want and then sync. -
After an auto-update installation this morning a dialog box appeared asking if I want Firefox to return to its default state. I stupidly said yes and now have lost all my Speed Dial thumbnails, URLs, and saved passwords. Is there a way I can undo this to return to the way Firefox was set up and working yesterday?
Thanks for the response. Of course, I did not back up my profile, so I guess I'm going to have to recreate everything.

Hello fellow-users of Firefox,
I followed the advice stated in the Support article about slowness, crashing, etc. by restoring Firefox to its default settings. But the problems didn't go away. The browser remains slow and still gives me error messages about a non-responsive script or plugin and crashes. To make matters worse I don't see the menu items on the top toolbar I was so used to using, like File, Edit, View, etc. I used the View menu very often to zoom in on texts too small for me to read. Now I can't do that. I tried to drag some icons from the menu on the top right-hand corner of the page onto the top tool bar above the address bar, but this is not the same as what I was used to using before, And there are no File, Edit, View, Tools icons in the menu. So now I'm seeing my g-mail inbox in tiny little characters. I tried using the magnifier suggested in the Troubleshooting page of Support, but it's too cumbersome so I gave up.
Would someone kindly please help me out on these issues? Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Tom Graciano (globmart)My pleasure!! :)

I don't use Firefox now because of this running problem. It started about a month ago. So when I access the task manager, Firefox does not show up in the running processes. Because of this, I can't end the task. I got tired and fed up of rebooting my computer just to use Firefox, so I just switched to IE8, and Opera and Google Chrome. I prefered Firefox but it also runs so so sooooo slowly now. IE is much much faster, as are the other browsers now. Once upon a time, I bragged to everyone about how fast Firefox used to be, where now I admit I don't use it because it's so slow now and it won't run anyway.

I use Red hat enterprise linux and I need to connect to AIX servers which host my J2EE applications. I connect mainly for using our application through browser, FTPing and SSH-ing. I use Dante socks client. I socksify every application explisitely that connects our AIX servers. Eg. socksify ssh, or socksify gftp etc. Even I could run 'socksify opera'. However my favourite browser says no for 'socksify firefox'. I do not know if its a issue or may be there are other ways to achieve this. I know I can mention SOCKS proxy in firefox preferences, however I need to connects to several AIX servers through different socks servers. This requires me to use socks.conf. Can anyone help me to use firefox for my J2EE applications? Thank you.
Works fine here if I click that link in your above post.<br />

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] -
Don't know what else to add in addition to what I say above. I am running Windows 7 Service Pack 1. Also use Windows Internet Explorer, Google Chrome.
You drag the window by its Title Bar, always been the same for Windows.

When I click the "print" button on my menu, I get a "ding", but the print menu doesn't open.
My printer menu opens in all my other program, including Chrome. My printer is operating. I've printed a page with it. Everything was fine until yesterday. I closed my system last night and rebooted this am. The problem still exists.
I didn't reset my Firefox printer settings because I don't want to create any other problems.

I accidentally reset Firefox back to default, can my mistake be undone?
I was troubleshooting on how to fix a problem with Firefox running extremely slow and somehow accidentally clicked on the Reset Firefox to its default state button. I lost all my saved passwords, user ID's, addon extensions, etc. Can this be undone? I've even tried to reset my computer back prior to a date with no luck. I have Firefox version 32 and run Windows 7 professional.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.

My Ipad2 won't turn off. I have tried the reset method by holding both buttons down for at least 10 seconds, but this doesn't work. I can't get onto the internet via wi-fi either (don't have a 3G card fitted). All other functions seem to be working OK including charging. Not had this problem before, but I recently upgraded software to 5.1.1 so is there a bug in there somewhere?
Look at last link.
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

my shuffle will not work!! it charges but once of charge it doesn't work, reset it but still no joy?? any ideas??
I did a little bit of experimenting. I have an iPad original versions myself. I took it out of the box knowing that I haven used it in months and I expected the battery to be dead and sure enough the battery was as dead as I imagined it would be. For the first 30 minutes I experienced exactly what you are experiencing, but then the iPad suddenly powered up on its own (like it does when plugged into the charger) and I am using it now to type this response to you.
My point is that I am starting tothink that your battery has suddenly died on you for some reason or you have a hardware problem now. I would still try leaving the iPad charge for a while longer - maybe even overnight - and then try again in the morning. Unplug the iPad and try resetting with the home and sleep buttons. Try plugging the iPad in again. Unplug it, try restarting again. Let it charge for a while again.
After trying something like that, if it still will not start up, then I think it's time for a trip to an Apple Store and see what the Apple Techs think. -
I have some spyware on my system that neither my malaware bytes, comodo antivirus, spybot search and destroy, and a few others I've tried, can detect. The piece of spyware is a browser hijacker that keeps hijacking my firefox homepage and nothing I can do will get rid of it.
the problem only happens in firefox and no other browser is affected. basically my homepage gets changed to the following:
http://www.ggle.org.uk/index.php?hp=1&OVKWID=firefox
Yes there are numerous options about this in the support section but none of them work. I have tried everything and I do mean everything and each time I restart firefox the bloody thing comes back. I've reset the pc - works until you close down the browser and restart it. I've gone into my profiles, i.e. user/AppData/Mozilla/firefox and deleted the .js files, parent.lock files - comes back on firefox restart. I've searched the registry the best I can. I have even put an entry into the Hosts file in syst32 and that has afforded me partial success in that I now get a 404 instead of the pesky and irritating jaamla search page. I have even gone into the About:config settings and wiped the url but no matter what I do it always comes back on restart and it's only with firefox.
This is something that firefox needs to look into and not assume that just because there are a few answers in the support section that they all work, because all of the options appear to work until firefox is restarted.
It even comes back after a complete uninstall and wipe - I am at a loss at what to do and where to go next. Please help!I think the next step is to use Windows 7's auditing feature to figure out what processes are touching the file other than firefox.exe.
This is somewhat arduous to set up, but here's what I did. I have Win 7 Pro and I don't know whether this works on other versions.
(1) Open the Event Viewer to the Security log
Start menu > Control Panel > System and Security category > Administrative Tools
This should launch a folder of shortcuts. Double-click Event Viewer. If Windows objects, you may need to right-click> Run as Administrator.
In the left pane of the Event Viewer, click Security.
(2) Enable object auditing
In the Administrative Tools folder, double-click Local Security Policy (or right-click > Run as Administrator).
In the left pane, expand Local Policies and click Audit Policy.
In the right pane, double-click Audit object access and turn on both success and failure and OK the change. (screen shot attached)
(3) Enable auditing on prefs.js
Right-click your prefs.js file > Properties, click the Security tab, then the Advanced button. In the Advanced Security Settings dialog, click the Audit tab, then the Continue button. (screen shot attached)
Click the Add button and type Everyone, then click Check Names. After you click OK, you should get a dialog with numerous checkboxes. Clicking the Full Control box for each column should select everything. Then OK that. (screen shot attached)
(4) Test
Change a preference in Firefox that updates prefs.js (for example, you can change your home page). Then when you switch over to the Event Viewer, you can click Refresh on the right side (or choose a different category such as Application and then Security again to refresh the list), and you should find a listing in the File System task category for "a handle to the object was requested" for prefs.js, showing firefox.exe to be the active process. (screen shot attached)
(5) Assuming the test works, exit Firefox and watch for any other process touching the file.
When you're through, you probably want to turn this all off again, since it does use cycles in the background.
