Updating flash and i closed firefox 4 now FF has completely vanished

i was using the flash installer and i made me close fire fox after flash had finished I tried to re open FF4 but the shortcut had vanished, then i looked in program (win XP) and it was not there either, so i did a file/folder search and not there, and even the install files have vanished!!

well i found a firfox on another harddrive on my computer ...i open it and it has 2 tabs. one saying it was an outdated version and one saying welcome to version4 !
it does appear to really be v4.
my scripts and addon seem to still be installed but ALL my bookmarks are gone! what is going on? how do i get them back?

  • I continually get a Java error. I've uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and nothing has helped. I've updated flash and Java.

    I have used Firefox as my default browser for many years. I've recently started getting a Java error message. It pops up continually. I have updated flash and java. I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox and nothing has helped. I have had to start using Chrome instead of Firefox which I don't care for but I don't have the java error with Chrome. How do I fix this problem? The error reads as follows:
    Java Script Application
    Error: syntax error

    Your '''JavaScript''' error has nothing to do with the Java plugin . It is likely caused by an added extension (the earlier forum threads [/questions/944619] and [/questions/943088] mention disabling or updating the Social Fixer extension will resolve the problem).
    You can read this article for help troubleshooting your extensions: [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]

    When you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac:
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

    My welcome screen used to have just my name and an icon.  Now it has my name on one side and guest user on the other. where did it come from and how do I get rid of it?

    Either you enabled the guest user, or you enabled Find My Mac, which requires there to be an active guest account for a thief to log into, so that they'll connect to the internet and allow you to locate it.

  • I am having (2) problems, 1. When I open Firefox, why do 6 to 8 multiple windows open? 2. I tried to update Flash, and now that window opens every time I launch Firefox with a drop menu asking me to install.

    Problem 1: I launch Firefox and 6 to 8 windows open.
    Problem 2: Every since I tried to update Flash this happens. I have done this 12 times, but it still keeps trying to open.

    I'm having difficulty visualizing what is wrong but try some basic steps first:
    Launch Safari while holding a Shift key - this will start Safari with just your Home page
    If you can see Reset Safari from the Safari menu, try that.
    In addition to downloading and installing Safari again, try reapplying just the Snow Leopard Combo Update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 There is no need to uninstall Safari first.
    Lastly try deleting Safari's Preferences file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist

  • Is there any other solution for Adobe Flash plugin crashing than the posted one about updating Flash and Mozilla? I cannot open any PDF files online and updated both Mozilla and Flash player to most recent with no change in the crashing.

    I was able to open PDFs online until version 8. Since upgrading to version 9 and now 10, I have crashes every time I try to open a PDF online and can see the form briefly for about two seconds before the plugin crashes. I followed instructions on the solution to update Adobe Flash and Mozilla, and they are both to the most recent version and it still crashes every time, no dent in the symptoms with the upgrades. I tried also downgrading to version 3, and it sill crashes. Although in some cases I can get around by saving the PDFs for reading them through Acrobat on my PC, it is a hassle as I do not want to save everything to my drive just to see what it is, plus sometimes forms are generated on a click and I cannot see these forms at all.
    I had to migrate to Chrome as I needed the PDFs and could not wait any longer - any suggestions to make Mozilla work again would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode] after enabling only the PDF plugin in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Plugins'''. You can also '''Disable''' the PDF plugin and try an alternative, for eg. [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pdfjs/?src=cb-dl-created pdf.js]. Please also go through the add-on reviews, ratings, help and FAQ.

  • Although it worked perfectly up to the auto-update to 3.6.13, Firefox now won't display ANY website, displaying (Untitled) on each tab.

    IE still works fine. Firefox was great until 30 minutes ago when it so kindly updated itself, and now it won't show me any websites. I've cleared all history, checked the proxy settings, to no avail. Every tab shows (Untitled).

  • I was informed my credit card expired in February but was not informed until March. I logged in and updated the new expiration date but now Netflix has cancelled my subscribtion. What can I do?

    Was informed by Itunes that my credit card expired in February but was not informed until March. I logged in and put new expiration date but now Netflix has cancelled my subscription. What's up with this?

    Contact Netflix and ask them.
    Contact iTunes customer support and ask them.
    Why would you think anyone in these user to user support forums would be able to assist in this matter?

  • Since updating to version 4.0, Firefox does not automatically complete saved passwords

    Before updating to version 4.0, whenever I clicked the cursor into the username boxes, the username would automatically be there. Once I clicked on it, then the password would automatically fill in. Since the update, this does not happen anymore. So, I'm having to write usernames & passwords down somewhere and type them in myself. Has this automatic feature been defeated in version 4.0? I still have a list of saved passwords, but it's not calling them up automatically like before.

    Do you still see all the names and passwords in the Firefox Password Manager ?
    * Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
    You can check that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    * To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.

  • Firefox recently updated itself, and all bookmarks are now gone. how do I get them back.

    no content needed. As I stated previously, all bookmarks are gone after firefox did an auto update.

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Why is Adobe Flash loading when clicking "Clear Recent History" and after closing Firefox when I have it disabled?

    I have Flash disabled but it's loading when I delete history and close the browser. Why?

    Why does Flash load when it's disabled at all? It will load even when not deleting anything, just during normal internet activities.
