Unless I'm in safe-mode, Firefox will not let me type more than one letter.

I just received a new hard drive yesterday for my Inspirion N5110 (Windows 7). Firefox worked okay shortly, but has since begun to freeze after I type one or two letters. So if I type "nytimes.com" only the n appears. However, Firefox IS registering that I'm typing them, just not showing it. The same principal applies when I click on options. It will open me to the current tab (general) but let me go no further. But if I click on, say, advanced in the options it will open to the advanced AFTER I close it and reopen options, and the problem still persists, only this time on the advanced tab.
Reinstalling Firefox has not changed anything, only safe-mode works. Disabling plug-ins has not helped either.

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
*Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Will not send text to more than one person

All of a sudden my phone will not send text message if it is going to more than one person. Plus it would not send a video that I received in a text message. In the past I could send a text message to more than one person and could send videos. Any ideas?

Are you retaining copies of sent texts? My coworker had over 500 messages
in a sent text folder.

Internet Explorer also will not run and crashes. I am using Safari it runs fine no problems. FF has been crashing for about a week unexpectedly but will reopen and run, but will not run at all now..?

Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. how do i fix the problem

Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. It use to allow me to open multiple windows before but for no apparent reason it stopped. I uninstalled it and re-installed but I'm having the same problem. How do I fix the problem
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== several days ago

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).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

Will syncing my iphone 3GS more than one time daily wear out the battery?

Will syncing my iPhone 3GS more than one time daily with Outlook 2007 wear out the battery? An Apple Care advisor said I should only sync it one time per week, but I need to do it daily as I use the calendars and notes for work.

No.

Whoever you talked to has no idea what they are talking about. Ignore their advise.

PC will no longer boot with more than one stick of ram.

Hello.
My wife and I both own HPE 371f. We've had them about 8 months and neither one of us has had a single problem with it.
Yesterday though, I got a BSOD. I try to reboot, it goes in to recovery mode and freezes. I try to reboot again, same thing. It freezes up as the windows logo is on the screen. I start scouring the web to find out what could be the problem. All the fans are running, mobo looks to be okay, HDD is fine. I finally see the suggestion to update the BIOS. I can't even update now because I'm getting a blank screen. I turn the PC on and it just looks like nothing is getting to the monitor.
So I try a CMOS reset. I'm able to get the PC to the boot menu at least, but now it freezes up in the boot menu.
At my wits end, I finally see a something about RAM timing being off or something (I'm not very experienced with this) and they suggest taking out all but one stick of ram. I do this, and lo and behold I boot up fine. Every configuration of more than one stick of ram I try does not work. Any more than 2 gigs... and all I get is a black screen.
It's not a major deal being down to 2 from 8, but I would like to use the RAM is possible. Is this a hardware issue or something I can fix through software?
Some notes: No major changes over the last few days. I installed Skyrim, but I wasn't playing when I got the initial BSOD. I've had 4 sticks of 2 gigs since I bought the PC and I've never had an issued till now. All the sticks are identical. My wife's PC (same model) is working just fine.
Thanks in advance for any help or ideas!

Hi,
I've been searching the internet and people are talking about updating BIOS to play Skyrim. It's worth a try. Please go to this site to (a) Select your machine (b) Pick the right Operating system. Download BIOS and apply to your machine. Hope this helps, otherwise please contact HP for help (is machine still under warranty ?).
Regards,
BH

FF 15.0 on Windows 7 (64 bit) PC opens in Safe Mode but will NOT open after letting FF do reset procedure; now "stuck" in loop.

1) FF 15.0.0.4619 on Windows PC 64 bit machine. No themes; about a dozen fairly standard plug-ins; a few extensions - fairly vanilla setup. Been having occassional problem this past week in viewing web PDFs.
Crash occurred after some program (adobe ??) wanted to do routine update.
2) Upon clicking FF icon pop up indicates "problem and unexpected crash" but clicking details button does NOT provide any info. Clicking on Restart FF button offers me option to Start in Safe Mode or Quit FF.
3) Starts in Safe Mode and first time I did that FF reported Java as being disabled and NOT upto date. Did Java update/install (Java Platform SE 7 U7 10.7.2). FF still will not start except in Safe Mode.
4) Re-booted computer ... Clicking FF icon brings up pop up with problem and crash sentence but no details. Following screen offers Reset to Default option, and upon clicking Reset it takes me back to the same pop up - so I am stuck in a loop that seems to accomplish nothing. Using Reset upon entering Sage Mode results in same loop.
I really hate using IE so appreciate any assistance in getting back to beloved FF.

Droid X battery will not stay charged for more than 5 minutes. Help

My Droid X will not hold a charge for more than 5 min. 1 phone call and the phone shuts down.

bdsutton,
Thanks so much for your inquiry! There hasn't been a software update for the Droid X since 2/16/12.
I would like for you to put the device in Safe Mode http://bit.ly/OAXCYh and then check your email to see if it still turns off.
Safe Mode temporarily disables all applications that have been installed via the Android Market. Performing this troubleshooting step is necessary to determine whether a 3rd party application is the cause of an Operating System / Application issue.
I want you to try that to see if there is something else affecting why the phone battery goes low only when you check email.

Will not connect to google, more than just a safari issue

I am having an issue with one of my macbooks.
It will not connect to only google.com that i have found so far.
I have tried Firefox, and Chrome and the same thing, will not connect.
I have tried ping www.google.com, which errors out but google.net works.
All of the network settings match that of my MBP, which does connect.
I have tried clearing the cache, deleting all .plist, deleting eveything in the cookies folder, checked parental controls, removed keychain to anything google, different browsers, uninstalled all widgets and add-ons, removed all apps i have installed since the issue appeared, I have manually changed the DNS to a couple of solutions i found here, then reset them to default and still will not work. I am simply out of ideas. If anyone is having the same issue and found a solution please let me know.

You may have been infected by malware that you downloaded and installed. The download was probably called "FlashPlayer.pkg". If you still have it please don't trash it quite yet. For the benefit of others in this community can you please upload it to http://www.virustotal.com. Once you have done that copy the ID and report it back here along with the exact name of the file that you uploaded.
If the results do not show anything in the status column next to ClamAV can you also upload it to http://cgi.clamav.net/sendvirus.cgi and in the description box include the keyword "macos". If you know the name of the site where you downloaded it from, that would also be useful. Then you should Trash it so you won't be tempted to run it again.
A description of this malware along with instructions on fixing it can be found here: http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojan_bash_qhost_wb.shtml
Thanks in advance and let us know how it goes.

Firefox will not let me start more than one instance (or new window)

I thought I'd check here first in hopes of an answer. I am not sure what this is related to honestly. I have not done any recent system updates and this was working fine yesterday afternoon.
This morning, when I unlocked my screen, I was unable to open a new instance of firefox (already had one running). I rebooted for the heck of it and that did not help in the least. Trying to run firefox from the cli gives no errors - I am even unable to call a new window from within firefox itself. Simply nothing happens.
Please any help would be appreciated. I really need this to work. I have too much to get done today for something like this to happen.
Thanks
B

Yeah I didn't really want to have to do that. I've got three apache recompiles to do and a conference call in less than 2 hours.
A bit more info on this.
If I run 'firefox -browser -no-remote' it gives me the old 'Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing firefox process ... yada'
I'm going to try disabling some specific extensions

After downloading the latest version of Firefox I am unable to display more than one website at a time in the tool bar at the top of my screen.

Before I upgrades to your latest version I was able to display many websites at the same time in the tool bar at the top of my screen. Now I can only display one at a time and it is extremely annoying.

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Unless I'm in safe-mode, Firefox will not let me type more than one letter.
