Firefox is a highly customizable web browser with a lot of personalized add-ons, persona's and themes, it's the Cadillac of choice amongst web browsers. It can be a little heavy, but that choice is up to the user.

ClamXav is a free anti-virus for the Mac to remove Windows malware from files before passing them onto other Windows users, it also can catch any very rare Mac malware that appears once it becomes known.
Why you couldn't I don't know.

Onyx was ok.
Onyx is a maintainence (rarely) and mostly a troubleshooting program.
what should I do?
What are you trying to do? Download free stuff? Should be very careful, a lot of bad stuff out there.
Only download from safe places like MacUpdate.com, CNET downloads and perhaps Sourceforge, most people here won't trick you as Apple will hang them if they try.
Here's a couple of free 3D games. Knock yourself out.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Try to update to Firefox 24 (just been released).
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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.

If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

You can use one of these to start Firefox in Safe mode:
*On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
*On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
If it works in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Check if Style Resource Readers SharePoint group has permissions on the site, permissions to the style library and make sure that this library provides Style Resource Readers with restricted read.
If you don't see Style resource readers on the site, go to that library and set that permission. you could also just load your installation media to a folder, and execute on setup.exe, select repair option. This second option of the installation
media is the cannon vs. flyswatter approach though, but it will work

What os does lightroom and photoshop run best on? Mac or PC?

What os does lightroom and photoshop run best on? Mac or PC?

I don't know to which project files you are referring but:
The Lightroom Catalog (a single file on both)
The Previews (a single folder on both)
The Smart Previews (a single folder on both)
Presets, Settings and Such (in identically nested folders within the OS construct on both)
Take it from an experienced user in both OS's. Mac simplifies somethings - PC simplifies others.

HT201209 I bought €40 worth of iTunes and it says I have to use the French storefront what do I do and will it work?

I bought €40 worth of ITunes cards from France but when I go to redeem it, it says that I have to use the French storefront I don't know what to do and will it change into pounds if I change it over to the French storefront so can you please help me out

All iTunes gift-cards are country-specific, they can only be used in their own country - so a French card can only be used in France on a French iTunes account. Do you know anybody that you could sell or give it to ?

Choose system preferences, then under 'Personal' choose 'Universal Access''
You will see a checkbox called 'Voice Over'' (under the seeing tab). Switch this to off.
Good luck

What's adobe air and adobe community help?

I loaded 5.5 tonight and got a popup asking me if I'd like to install the new version of Adobe Air. I said no thanks. Then I clicked on the Help in 5.5, and it suggested I'd like to install a new version of Adobe Community Help. I said okay, and then I got the popup for Adobe Air again. When I canceled it, the upgrade to Adobe Community Help didn't complete properly.
What's Adobe Air and what's Adobe Community Help? What's the relationship between them?

AIR is a runtime environment for running certain applications. The Adobe Community Help Client is an AIR application; it's a viewer for the Help documents.
I prefer to not use the Community Help Client application. Instead, I use the HTML version of Help in my browser or the PDF version when I'm not online.
There are direct links to the PDF and online HTML versions of the Help documents here.
