Version 5.0 will not unload itself from memory when I close it. This results in not being able to open FF later unless I manually go and close the application in Windows task manager. Any ideas as this is getting very frustrating.

I have this issue on 3 computers that were just updated with FF 5.0. When I close FF, the application "Firefox.exe *32" remains in memory. Trying to open FF again later greets me with the error that FF can't open because another instance of FF is already running. Previous versions did unload completely and never caused this issue..

I found the culprit. Norton Internet Security added an add-on to FF called Symantic IPS 2.0 which is causing FF 5 not to close properly. I have no idea what it is for but FF works properly again with it disabled.
For reference, that add-on worked fine with FF 3.x as well as FF 4.x. It just doesn't seem to like FF 5.0.

  • ERRORS found during the burning process #-34506...any idea what this means?

    ERRORS found during the burning process #-34506...any idea what this means?
    This one project I want to copy to DVD keeps saying this when I go to burn (that is after nearly 2 hrs of processing). There is nothing wrong with the movie so i don't know why i'm having such a problem burning it. i guess to start i'd need to know what this code means (I couldn't find it in iDVD help).
    thanks in advance

    First I'd be certain that I had changed the preferences from best quality to best performance.
    Did you follow the chapter rules?
    *Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the start or end of the timeline.
    *Make sure no chapter markers are within a transition.
    *Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the end of a transition.
    You may have already done this, but
    Quit iDVD. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.

    Hi, cannot drag to trash, get a message saying the item cant be moved to trash because it cant be deleted.  I really dont know what theses are.  The icon shows as excel but they are certainly not filenames I have used.  I cant open them either and they dont show in finder under desktop but they are clearly sitting there!

  • Firefox fails to import history, cookies, favourites etc. from opera; cookies etc. are not listed in the space where you can select the items you want to import any idea how this comes? thanks!

    In the importing operation Firefox detects Internet Explorer and Opera as installed browsers. When i select Internet Explorer cookies, history, favourites etc. are listed in a box where you can select the items you want to import in Firefox. When i select Opera no items are listed that can be imported. Any idea how this comes?

    Hi,
    I think that what you are searching be in Tools >> Options >> Privacy >> On Firefox will: change to "Use custom settings for history" then Button Show Cookies will be allowed and you will see the cookies in your browser in the next window
    If you uncheck "Accept cookies from sites", probably the sites that need cookies will alert you that you need active the storage cookies

  • I recently cleared my hardrive and reloaded the install software including snow leopard and now the browser is extremely slow. Any ideas

    I recently cleared my hardrive and reloaded the install software including snow leopard and now the browser is extremely slow. Any ideas

    Your profile says OS 10.5.8, Snow Leopard is 10.6.
    After installing Snow Leopard, did you do a software update? Apple menu / Software update ..
    If you have not run it yet, do so. It will give you the highest versions of Snow Leopard and Safari. That might help.

  • My Ipod displays the red-orange circle with an X inside, and the apple support web address.  I can't find a reference to this and I haven't seen it before.  Any ideas what this means?

    The ipod has been working erratically for the last few weeks.  Stops playing mid-song, takes forever to load the next song on shuffle mode.  Today, stopped playing altogether.  When I tried to reset, I got an orange circle with a X in it and the support web addaress.  I can't find anything on the support site that references the x'd circle.  Any ideas?  Is this thing toast?

    Hi Crystal Newkirk,
    I've come across the following information which may be helpful. If you are seeing the red "X" icon on the display, we will need to restore your iPod from Disk Mode.

  • My iphone3gs shuts off when i jump between apps or run certain apps...  even with 90 percent it will shut down and shows vertical lines through the black screen...  any ideas what this could be?

    My iphone 3gs shuts off when flipping to different apps or running certain apps.  If it crashes badly I need to plug power to the device to bring it up.  This happens whether i have even 90 percent battery life.  Any idea as to what this may be? 

    Sounds like a major hardware problem.
    If no change after restoring your iPhone as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, there is a hardware problem.

  • Firefox keyboard layout changes to something I don't recognize, the traditional [ QWERTY ] reads as [ ',.pyf ] any idea why this would happen or how to change it back short of killing firefox and restarting.

    This happens randomly and infrequently. At first I thought it was my cats fault but it has recently happened while I was sitting at the computer with no feline interference. If someone could let me know how, if it's possible, to change the keyboard layout to QWERTY I will try this next time it happens to see if it can be corrected without restarting firefox. For a larger sample I will include the lines below:
    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
    yd. 'gcjt xpr,b urq hgmlo rk.p yd. na;f eri
    This is only effecting firefox, no other programs are changed and it does effect all running and new instances of firefox.

    See:
    * http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/The-Language-bar-overview - The Language bar (overview)
    It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.
    * Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar.
    * You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar.
    * Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar.
    * You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application.
    * The default keys to rotate the layout is a combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that can easily be used in Firefox to activate a menu item.
    * To avoid an unintentional switch assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctr+Shift)
    * Vista: Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards > Advanced key settings > Change key sequence

  • Firefox refuses to play videos from any site. I.E and Google chrome plays them just fine. Any idea why this is happening??

    I get a message saying there is an error and to try again later. Trying later doesn't seem to have helped. The videos in question are normal "news", youtube, etc. nothing exotic. again, my other browsers seem unaffected.

    This may be caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update.

  • My partner has been given an iphone 4 from her father, I have manged to delete and move to her email but need to know how to change the phonebook i.e delete it and change the apple i.d...any ideas?

    Hi All
    My Partner has been given an ipone 4 from her father.
    I have managed to delete his email and set hers up, what I need to do is delete his contacts entirley..would this be able to be done if she connected her ipone to the computer and made herself an apple I.D or is it a matter of reset ?
    Also some pictures on the phone she would like to keep..
    Many thanks

    If her contacts are available in an Address Book app on her computer that is supported for syncing with the iPhone, she can select the supported address book app on her computer under the Info tab for her iPhone sync preferences for syncing contacts. She should be provided a merge prompt or replace the contacts on her iPhone with what is available in the address book app on her computer. Select the 2nd option.

  • I restored my phone from a previous back up and now all my apps are gone. Any idea on how to get them back?

    I had liquid damage to my phone and had to receive a new one so I went home to restore it to its old settings from my back up on 5/8/11. I've had an iphone since 2008 so I have a lot of data and apps saved on to my computer, many of which I paid for. When my back up finished all my music, contacts, photos were restored but none of my apps. Can someone please help me get them back? Thank you!

    After you restore from backup, you MUST sync to restore your iTunes content. No iTunes content is included in the iPhone backup. Your apps should be in your iTunes library, just sync them back to your phone. If for some reason your apps are not in your library, you can re-download them for free:
