Upgraded to Firefox 8.0 crashed and now wont start up.

Upgraded Firefox to 8.0 last night and it crashed as soon as it finished and I went to open it. I had no problem with it before this update. Tried taking my computer back in time didn't work also tried uninstalling and reinstalling accept it wont reinstall now. Go to hit run and get nothing to pop up after that. I loved firefox I hate Internet explorer someone help me fix this so I can use FF again. It seems this is a big problem with 8.0 so there has to be a fix.

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.

Safari 4.1 started crashing and now wont load at all...

Hi ..please help! Safari started crashing last night ('The Application quit unexpectedly....') and now wont start up again after a variety of attempts; just keep getting that message repeatedly. I have:
- repaired permissions and restarted
- deleted icon from dock then deleted app from folder then re installed Safari 4.1 for Tiger
- moved safari plist from Preferences to desktop
- emptied Safari cache folder
But it just keeps on trying to start up and giving me the crash window.

Hi KB
that is indeed the whole report - & the pertinent line is, as ~Bee said
image not found /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Security
What this means is - Safari tries to load another piece of software, and can't - either because it's missing or damaged somehow.
you didn't attempt to remove anything manually whilst trying to get Safari re-loaded... ?
If not, I do suggest you use Disk Utility while booted from your install disk to Verify the HD, and then startup normally & repair disk permissions from Disk Utility found in Applications/Utilities/
If that all seems fine, obviously you need to get that file replaced, and hope that it's the only one missing/mangled ( often does seem to be the case )
Either archive/install Tiger, followed by all necessary software updates
or
Hope that it's part of the 10.4.11 combo - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL170 assuming that the file doesn't stop Installer from running.
or
bring /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework over from another mac running the same OS version, place it exactly where it should be, and hope that it's the only thing missing/mangled ( often does seem to be the case )
I don't know if it's part of the 10.4.11 combo, haven't a copy to hand. Also, there might have been other reasons, (and a whole different report), why Safari first started crashing. So you may find the archive/install less trouble overall.

I have the same problem and have been following the progress with interest
I reduced Adobe to 6.17 but was loath to reduce Flash from 10.1 because of the risk of access
Reduced FF to 2 as well which helped initially but then the crashes because non-stop - as soon as it reloaded it crashed again. I had already removed anything from my program list that I didn't use very often and that could potentially interfere with FF.
Even threw eBay Turbolister overboard as I have had trouble with that in the past!
None of this frantic jettisoning helped one whit, and now the PC is crashing even without FF being running! Very disturbing
It runs fine in safe mode so I think I can discount a hardware problem
Was definitely FF to start as got the usuas FF error messages.
Now FF seems to have been erased so?

Hi. I have an older Mac running OS 10.4.11. I absent mindedly upgraded to FireFox 3.6.24 and now can no longer attach files to email in gmail or ymail. Is it possible to load an older version of FireFox and regain this function?

FireFox 3.6.15 and newer require OS 10.5 or 10.6. The latest version of OS X the Macintosh G4 I own is physically capable of running is OS 10.4.11. Whenever I try to attach a file to an email in gmail.com or ymail.com, FireFox crashes. Is it possible to load a version of FireFox older than 3.6.15 to avoid having to buy a new computer?

Hi again - since writing the above I have posted on Adobe>Webplayer>Flash forum the following request and will post on here if I receive a reply that works:
Firefox updated to 3.6.14 and then advised Flash 10 be installed. I did this and now on YouTube videos all I see is a black screen with no play or pause button. System is OS X10.4.11 Have now followed Adobe instructions to Uninstall Flash player on system and then Install Flash 10. But still at YouTube Safari says Flash 10 is needed and in FF shows a black box only. I use Intego virus barrier but this has never blocked an update before. Flash is enabled in Firefox and Safari.
eldnolb at Adobe forum advised: Go to this site and right click on the Flash logo, Settings, Display Settings. UNcheck the hardware acceleration.
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
But when I go to this page no logo appeared for me to right click on, which again means that Flash player is not working... so I could not access Settings, Display Settings, Uncheck etc. Was advised to start a new Mac entitled thread. Clare

Just Upgraded to Firefox 8.0.1 and now cannot use Firefox preview in Dreamweaver CS5.5...any one else have this issue? I have seen this before in previous version of Firefox but got fixed.

Not able to use firefox browser preview in Dreamweaver CS5.5 after upgrade to version 8.0.1. Now can preview only in Safari.

Don't know if there is an option make the download window stay up, but you can bring it back with Ctrl+J then right-click on the download to open the folder it was downloaded to.

I just upgraded to Firefox 17.0.1 and now I am unable to entered anything into text fields.

After upgrading to Firefox 17.0.1 text cannot be entered in either the URL bar, the search bar, or any text boxes/input fields/forms on webpages. When the text field is clicked the cursor is positioned properly and blinks but typing generates no text.

IMac was freezing and now wont start?

My iMac was running a little slow the past 2 days, and whenever i tried to type something in safari it would bring up the loading wheel and take forever just to type something. I installed google chrome and it kept happening so it's not safari. Next my mac started freezing and i would have to just turn it off and restart it. Turning it back on it would load sometimes but take awhile, sometimes it wouldnt load so i'd turn it off and try again until it worked.
now when i turn it on the gray/white screen comes up with the apple, but no loading thing comes up under that. after a few minutes the apple gets replaced with a circle with a line through it. After about 5 minutes of not starting, a blinking folder with a question mark starts flashing and it does this until i turn off the computer.
soooo, what is wrong? how do i fix this? is there another way to start the computer?

i put in my snow leopard install disk and then restarted using my internal hard drive and it worked fine for a few hours. Then it crashed again and now it's doing it again and cant find my internal hard drive. I have most my stuff stored on an external hard drive but does this mean i have to buy a new computer? or a new internal hard drive? how much would that be and for them to install it? stupid macs, i thought they were supposed to work better than PC's. Or is your hypothesis wrong since it did start up after you said it was dead.
It does sound like your hard drive is failing and needs to be replaced. Mac hard drives are the same products as they are in PCs and they ALL fail, on average a HD should last 3-5 years however some last months and some last 6-8 years. So there isn't any reason to be angry at Apple. Make sure you are backed up and make an appointment at your local Apple Store or AASP. A replacement hard drive will probably run in the $200-$300 range including labor.

Almost 3 month old Iphone 4 extremely hot in corner and now wont start

i am currently living in toulouse france as an exchange student, i come from new zealand, which is where my iphone 4 was brought, almost almost 3 months ago. last month for 1 week my phone would become very hot in the corner by the on/off button, so hot i couldnt touch it. the power also drained very fast. the internet connection had no effect as i had no wifi connection with the house i was living in. it ended up that it would go from 100% to 0% in about 2 hours or less, and then wouldnt turn on unless plugged in, but it would always be too hot to use. its been a month since that happened, but its happened again, lasting for the past week and a half. the other day it became the hotest it has ever been, and the power drained extremely fast whilst plugged in, and now it wont turn on

EXACTLY VERY DISAPPOINTED APPLE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A SUPPORTER AND I AM AWARE OF NEW TECHNOLOGY AND MARKETING SKILLS I COULD WRITE A SMALL BOOK ABOUT YOUR CORE BUSINESS SALES AND MARKETING IT' WORKS AND YOU NEVER CHANGE IT BUT THIS TIME IT WENT REALLY WRONG AND INSTEAD OF BEING A ' COOL' 'INNOVATIVE ' APPLE PERSONALLY I REALLY I'M surprised the issues are basically hidden. I paid 850€ for iPhone 5 and what I have is a phone that slipped from my pocket hit the ground on the right angle because its made of nothing I gave it to apple to get it fixed no warranty obviously and without knowing what it will cost they took 240€ in advance from my credit card saying it will be recredited if the cost is lower. Realistically these are not good signals the company is giving and they could at least help us and Apple YOU ARE NOBODY WITHOUT US.......
WE ALL KNOW HOW MUCH PRODUCTION COSTS ARE ETC..... BE FARE.
JUST THE IDEA NEXT TIME A BUY A PHONE (Samsung) AND IT MAY NOT BE APPLE IS DISTURBING
I'M very sorry

Upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 and now it constantly freezes. I am running Max OS X10.6.7

I was prompted to upgrade Firefox yesterday to 4.0.1 and did so. Since then Firefox keeps freezing. I will be on a website or in a google search and it freezes and I am unable to quit firefox- can't even force quit so must reboot my computer. This has happened 6 times since yesterday.
I have a MacBook Pro.

I upgraded to Firefox 6.0.2 and now cannot download websites in the .mht format.

Previous versions of Firefox allowed me to download web pages as .mht files.
Firefox 6.0.2 will not.
I now have to switch to Internet Explorer 9 when I want to download web pages in the .mht format.

You should be able to find an addon that will allow you to save and open .mht files. For example:

I've upgraded to firefox 4/snow leopard and now my .avi's won't play using the quicktime plugin. What am I doing wrong?

I'm unable to play .avi's in Firefox 4 that worked fine in Firefox 3. I just get a blank page. I've also upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard (prior to upgrading Firefox) since the last time I viewed them.
I'm serving these files from my local harddrive so the url starts with file::
I believe these were displayed using the quicktime plugin. Firefox reports my current quicktime plugin as version 7.6.6
I need to get this working because I'm giving a talk soon, and I've been using references in my talk pdf to link to the movies.
======
Just checked, and my movies play fine in Safari. Crud. I'd rather not have to switch to Safari as my default browser. Yuk.

Update: Turns out this is only a problem when the .avi is stored locally and served locally. I uploaded the file to a server and then pointed Firefox there. In that case it displays just fine. Weird.

Upgraded to Firefox 3.6.15, and now it is no longer the default browser, how to correct?

IS there a simple fix?

Have you tried setting Firefox as the default browser again?
