Update causes Firefox to disappear?

When I tried updating Firefox on my Mac (an automatic update), it took an unusually long time, my computer went into hibernation, and now Firefox seems to have completely disappeared off of my computer. I search and cannot find it anywhere.

I'm afraid I'm a useless noob, but heres what happened: just got in from work, booted, pac syu'd. Bit later, screen froze ( probably overloading my tiny cpu with too much flash or summat) so had to hard shutdown. When I booted back up wicd couldn't see anything. I cleaned my pkg cache recently so of the packages I just updated I could only downgrade hdparm, so did it. Reboot and wicd fine again. Maybe it would have been ok with a reboot anyway, without the downgrade, but I got things to do so I'm leaving it at the moment.

  • How do I retrieve lost Bookmark icons most of which disappeared when I updated to Firefox 8?

    After I updated to Firefox 8 I noticed that more than half of the itemsin my bookmarks list had lost their icons which were replaced by a dotted line in the shape of a square. I tried to go back to using Firefox 7 using System Restore. The restore was successful except that Firefox could not be opened. So I undid the restore and this allows Firefox to open and all seems ok apart from the fact that the majority of the items in my Bookmark list have disappeared and have been replaced as described. Can anybody help?

    Hi everyone. At issue is that FF8, obviously due to a coding bug, no longer is retrieving the favicon from the root of a website's www directory website in some situations. I tried starting FF8 with all add-ons disabled, just to verify that an add-on wasn't causing the issue. The add-on Check Places will restore the missing favicons, but the favicon will disappear as soon as you visit the bookmarked URL if the favicon was missing after you upgraded to FF8.
    Hehe. I am not too thrilled with Mozilla's new rapid development cycle. FF8 is simply a tweaked version of FF7 and as such it should have been a 7X upgrade. But I guess Mozilla wants Firefox to get up to version 10000 before Chrome does. Silly.

  • Citrix Plug-In 12.1.0.30 Disappears without warning on update to Firefox 21. Why was there no warning?

    The "warn me if this will disable any of my add-ons" check box is checked.
    Had to revert to 20.0.1 for the plug in to reappear.
    I cannot get the Citrix 12.1.0.30 plug-in to show up in Firefox 21. Reverting back to version 20.0.1 and turning off auto-updates is the only workaround for the plug-in issue I could find. Updating to a newer Citrix plug-in not an option as the new Citrix Receivers have too many bugs and do not work well (Citrix has been contacted but they are very slow at fixing bugs).

    I am having the problem with Firefox running on Windows (XP to be exact). Since it came with Windows 8, I do not run Windows on my machine (which I posted the question from). I didn't know that it was going to try and attach machine info automatically. I pasted the information from the Windows XP Firefox versions manually in the additional information section of the question.
    Anyway, for some reason I never ran into that website with my initial searches for this problem. Why doesn't the Firefox installer move or copy the plugins folder if it changes the location of it? Now I need to script a Firefox installer fix for all workstations and turn off auto-updates of Firefox since this is the second time something went wrong with a new Firefox version in a very short time (19.0.2->20 [unresponsive location bar] and 20.0.1->21 [plugins disappearing without warning]). Mozilla seems to be concentrating too much on this decades Windows ME and ignoring the majority of their existing installations. Ok, off soapbox and feeling better. The good news is that the plug-in wasn't disabled after all.
    Thanks!

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • High CPU load after firefox 18.0 update, causing periodical hang

    Hi, I am basically getting crazy here after the update to firefox 18.0 yesterday.
    Firefox periodically causes very high CPU load, which makes it impossible to use.
    http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/702/firefox18.png
    The problem does not occur immediately after restart, but you can already see the spikes of CPU load in the taskmanager with a peak of ~4%. After a couple of minutes this will go up to almost 50% utilizing a whole core and causing the hangs.

    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.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Is the 28.0 Firefox update causing this Mac-iPhoto-Email problem?

    Driving me crazy. Since 28.0 update Firefox is reducing photo attachments to GIf size.

    Okay I have placed my first photos from my new Canon Rebel SL1 in iPhoto '11 ( 9.43) on my again MacPro 1,1 running 10.7.5. No problem. They show as 526KB and 2.9MB jpegs in iPhoto. I export set to full size everything to desktop. Files now 1.2MB and 6.4 MB. I email them to a friend and they wind up as GIF size files of 22kb and 13kb.
    I then email them to myself, both via Mail and AOL --- numerous times, attaching one or both, using Windoze Friendly or not, with new exports from iPhoto.
    They all wind up as miserable 22KB (1.2MB file on desktop) or 13KB ( 6.4MB file on desktop) attachments.
    I've never noticed this before and can find nothing in all my settings to suggest a probelm.
    Just had a brand new Firefox update? I also installed and update lots of Canon Software with the brand new camera. Canon SU seems to work just fine on computer.
    Is it coincidence that the first time this happened was after the update to Firefox 28.0
    Sorry to dump this here. But my head is spinning trying to digest the Rebel SL1 -- Canon's "entry leve"l DSLR, that I picked to share with my 14 year old grand daughter who is showing a great eye.

  • Updated to firefox 4.0. since then my computer is very slow accessing the internet, websites and getting information from within a website.

    Over a week ago I updated my computer to Firefox 4.0. Since then my computer is very slow accessing the internet, websites and getting information from within a website. Also, a tool bar has shown up for YAHOO which I did not request. The old detailed tool bar for Firefox has disappeared. All that now shows for Firefox is the area to enter website urls and an area to enter topic for a Google Search.
    Many times I have to exit Firefox and re-enter it later to access the internet.
    Please advice what I need to do to get back to the speed I had with the older version of Firefox.
    Thank You,
    Dennis

  • I updated to firefox 9.0.1 and my yahoo mail doesn't work with firefox. This is a serious issue for me.

    A few days ago I updated to firefox 9.0.1, and when I am using firefox in the My Yahoo account, I can see my emails, but when I click on one to open it, I am asked to put in my password for yahoo. This shouldn't occur because it already know who I am because I can see my name there and my emails etc. When I put in my password it doesn't accept it.

    The location bar is also known as the address bar, it is where you enter web addresses.
    When it crashes does it submit any crash reports? If it does can you post some of the crash report IDs as that may help somebody identify the cause of the crashes. For details of how to get the crash report IDs see the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

  • Why can't I open and close tabs with scroll, after updating to Firefox 10???

    I updated my Firefox, and opening or closing tabs whit scroll button doesn't work any more.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    Your Firefox 9.0.1 is not the latest version anymore, so please update to the latest Firefox 10.0.x version via Help > About Firefox.

  • OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:

    OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:
    The problem on my Intel Mac mini with external Klipsch speakers (two mid-range/high and a subwoofer) is REAL obvious as the system emits a hum like a Spinal Tap amplifier turned up to #11 when 10.4.10 powers down the audio circuitry
    Then, if I play a song in iTunes, it first pops and the hum disappears right before playing.
    Quite annoying. I restored the mini from a recent backup to 10.4.9. Problem gone.
    I'm glad I test updates on the mini before applying them to my Intel iMac 24. I guess I'll just hide & watch what happens before doing any more updates.
    Here's what I sent to Apple tech support:
    Guys/Gals (OS X Engineers):
    Concerning the Snap, Crackle Pop Audio problem in the 10.4.10 update:
    Please. Just do the right thing and fix the audio.
    There is no need to power cycle the audio subsystem to save .0005 amps on the laptop line.
    And then to make your Mac mini/iMac/other desktop users have to put up with it when using AC power is ridiculous.
    Put the audio subsystem back like it was in 10.4.9 and let the laptop battery freaks looking for mini-amp savings get a "work-a-round".

    Libby,
    Backup is unable to make a restorable by Disk Utility backup. You can restore pieces of the software as outlined in my FAQ about backing up user data:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    But to be able to restore a backup with Disk Utility, you need a cloning utility to have made the backup.
    I suggest starting a new thread here, where someone else could help you out better:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=752&start=0
    First off, you'll get a wider audience who may be able to solve your problem. Secondly, responses to you won't confuse the original poster with solutions that don't apply to them. And thirdly, you'll know for certain whether or not a response applies to you.

  • Since most recent update of Firefox, I cannot connect to my printer; it says it is off-line, which it is not. HP Photosmart C5580

    A couple of days ago, I was notified of an update to Firefox. I declined because the details said it was incompatible with some features of my computer. The next time I logged on, the update processed automatically; I had no control. Since then, my HP C5580 printer is treated as off-line; it is not, works fine in test mode, and all connections are tight. I can not figure out what settings are messed up.
    I am not a computer genius, and am not able to be sure that is was the Firefox update that caused the problem. However, this is the only change that has been done to the computer. Is there a way to see if there is an incompatabilty?

    I have also noticed all my settings won't stay set, example....I removed the check mark from "third party cookies", the when I close Firefox and reopen the check mark is back, also my tool bar has screwed up....can't reset, been having trouble the up grade.

  • Ever since I updated to Firefox 4.0, I can no longer open links in a new tab by holding ctrl and clicking the link. Any help?

    Ever since I updated to Firefox 4.0, I can no longer open links in a new tab by holding ctrl and clicking the link. The only way I can open a link in a new tab is if I right click a link and select "open in a new tab" in the dropdown menu, but ctrl + click is so much easier and faster. Any clue how to fix this?

    Some other users have fingered the Ask toolbar as the cause of this problem. You can try disabling or removing it here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
    Does that help?
