  • I just bought a new battery for my MacBook but when I click on the battery icon it is says no battery available. Why?

    I bought a new battery for my MacBook today.  I put it into my computer, but when I click on my battery icon it says no battery availble.  I would like to know why?

    Hi....
    Try restarting your Mac ...
    "Keep in mind that once the new battery is inserted, you will need to press the power button to start up the computer."
    From here > MacBook Pro: How to remove or install the battery
    If it restarts ok the battery icon should be available from the status menu bar.

  • Though I have Firefox set as my default browser, when I click on the Firefox icon, Bing comes up as my browser. Why is this?

    If I go into my Bookmarks after Bing comes up as my browser and then click on Firefox, it comes back as my browser, but I don't like having to go through this extra step.

    Some free software includes an Ask toolbar.
    Try this:
    (1) Disable any Ask add-on (and all other nonessential or unrecognized add-ons) on these two tabs:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category<br>
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    If you get a link above a disabled extension to restart Firefox, you can click that as the last step after completing your work on the tab.
    (2) Run the Search Reset extension to switch your search providers back to Google:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    (3) If your home page was changed, see this article: [[How to set the home page]].
    (4) Check for a user.js file that might override your settings the next time you start Firefox. See this article for the steps: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    Does that solve it? Any other vestiges to root out?

    Probably is
    You need a minimum of 10GB of free space for normal operations
    You need to address that first - the best soution may be to get an external drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag your iPhoto library to it - depress the option key and launch iPhoto and point to that library
    Hopefully that will let you get started - there may be additional repairs needed

    See:

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • I downloaded Firefox 4; it's in the dock, but when I click on the Firefox symbol, it says I should download Firefox 4; how come?

    I don't know how to give any more details than I have. Although there is an icon labeled Firefox 4.0.1 dmg in the dock (It is a square kind of thing that looks like a piece of paper with the upper right corner turned down with a smaller square inside it), it just seems to sit there. When I click on the Firefox symbol (also in the dock), it opens, but with the suggestion that I download Firefox 4. But I already did that. I don't understand what is going on.

    For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    Or you can get Firefox 3.6.16 here: <br />

  • I went to your website to find out how to set up Firfox as my default browser but when I click on the Firefox button it doesn't say options.

    When I click on the Firefox logo in the top left corner it only says Restore, Move, Size, Minimize, Maximize and Close. Please help.

    hello, go to ''view > toolbars'' & un-ckeck the menubar - then you'll get the default layout with the firefox button on the top left of the window...

  • I need help: I've a macbook pro with Mavericks....when I click on the Firefox icon on the fox, it just jumps and then eventually invokes slowly. What can I do?

    basically, when I boot up the mac, I click on the firefox icon...it just jumps and sometimes it executes. I probably would have to wait a bit for trying to get into the browser successfully. Anything I can do? Thanks

    Hi,
    This article [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-takes-long-time-start-up] suggests that you
    #Change your homepage
    #Check to make sure your extensions are up to date
    # Check to make sure that your antivirus allows Firefox
    #Check to make sure that you have the preference "Do not load tabs until selected"
    However, I would recommend that you close other programs and clear the cache of the profile to increase the load time. [[How to clear the Firefox cache]] A quicker way to do this if you do not have any immediate data to save is to Reset Firefox. [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]

  • When I click on the FireFox icon I want it to be my main browser, not something else like Inbox!

    I click on the FireFox icon and Inbox comes up as my search/browser. I want FireFox. How do I fix this?

    It should be listed as an extension, so you can uninstall it using the add-ons manager. For details see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
    This help page from Inbox also shows how to uninstall it - http://toolbar.inbox.com/faq.aspx?faqid=2876&faqmod=WST_Install#2
