What would prevent my starting Firefox 3.6.10 on Windows 7?

Regardless of how I try to bring up Firefox 3.6.10, from Desktop, from Windows menu, from program library, nothing happens. No error message nor any sign of Firefox. This happened a couple of days ago and then tonight.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
This issue can be caused by the Personas 1.6.0 extension. If you have it then update to Personas 1.6.1

What would prevent AS3 to function in an otherwise working copy...

of Flash CS5.5? I upgraded from Flash 8 to CS5.5 recently. I've used Flash strictly for animations until recently so haven't really tinkered with AS3 at all. I tried some tutorials and got "1120 Property not recognized errors" and assumed that there was something wrong with my settings or my code. After uninstalling, reinstalling, reformatting, and trying several sample files I've found online, it's clear that the AS3 function just is not compatible with my computer. The animation functions work perfectly, but I cannot get the debugger to connect and AS# refuses to recognize any instances on the stage (and, yes, I have triple checked that publish settings are set to do so. ) Is this unusual? What would prevent the AS3 from working when everything else is fine?

Below is a link to an fla I just created that uses your code with the two objects identified by the code. This file is created using CS3. See if it tests okay for you. If so, see what is different about it that might be the cause for yours not working. If not, there are some Adobe folks infrequently in the Flash General forum you might want to try to get the attention of.

What would prevent me from turning on wi fi?

I,ve been using my MacBook Air with a comcast provided router for 18 months without a connectivity problem until today. Suddenly the wi fi is turned off and I cannot get it to turn on. There are no bars showing on the indicator, but wi fi is working because I am using my iPad mini to post this query. What would cause the MacBook Air wi fi to shut down? It worked fine yesterday. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Bill

For anyone interested, I think the crux of this issue was that once upon a time, my son also had an iphone, and then was switched to non-phone (he dropped his iphone and it cracked beyond use). I went through the "unregister" process that is documented online. However, something stuck. That said, my plan was always to get him an iphone in the future, but was waiting for his plan to be in upgrade mode, and also, I had him use a crappy phone to understand the value of a nice phone -- even though, he only had an iPhone 4, 8G, and it was free, I wanted to teach him about taking care of the phone...
That said, he got his upgrade a few days ago, and it immediately fixed the iMessage issue on his iPad...odd, still.

What would prevent createobject ("application.illustrator") from working in a VB Script

I have an automated process that monitors for Illustrator Docs and saves them as PDF.
The script is invoked from a service and was working fine, in the middle of processing, we starting getting the error "ActiveX component can't create object"
The error number is 429.
If I run the program interactively it works fine.
I am running the service under a named account that has local admin privlege to the box.
Windows2003 Standard, SP2
Illustrator 15 CS5 Design Premium.
From everything I can tell nothing on the machine has changed.
No updates, etc.
I have tried reinstalling Illustrator
All adobe patches are up to date.
I have tried creating a different account and get the same result, works fine running interactively, can't create object id script is invoked from a service.
Interestingly, you do see Illustrator.exe process in memory for a few seconds, the memory stalls ~30K and doesn't move.
When you run interactively the process is very active and memory grows was past 30K
Very baffled by this, any thoughts or insight is appreciated.
Greg

Good morninig,
Did you check the VBA menus tools\references to be sure that you use the lastest Library (Adobe Illustrator CS5 Type Library). If you have oldest dll try to remove them.
On PC opening Illustrator before using VBA macros is also a good approach.
Good luck
Patrice

What would cause both Thunderbird & Firefox keep going out of focus from a few seconds to a minute?

Not happening in any other browsers or programs. Just Thunderbird and Firefox. Can hardly stand to handle my email in Thunderbird anymore. It's like the visuals are shifting and get too blurry to read. Lasts from a few seconds to a minute or more.

See my answer here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1012145

Cap6 What would prevent a project from jumping to previous slides?

My current project is using buttons with jump to slide to move between four slides in sequence. When the project is previewed the buttons that progress forward work correctly however none of the buttons that go to previous slides work.
When the progress bar is moved back it does not move past a certain point. If you move the progress bar forward rapidly you can then access the previous slides and the buttons begin to function correctly.
Has anyone encountered this issue and found a resolution?

How did you check? Preview in browser or after publishing? Are those the navigation buttons on a default playbar or custom buttons?
Do you have question slides? If yes, what are the Quiz settings? Do you allow Backwards navigation, what is the Required setting?
Do you have pretest slides? Is Branch aware checked?
Which version (exact number) of 6? I'm asking this because the version ending on 199 had some navigation problems.

When I start firefox 9.0.1 in windows xp, a popup that says "Log onto x-marks" appears briefly, then the browser locks up. If I can hit cancel before it locks up, the browser works normally.

It was working fine, then all of a sudden it started doing this. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it from the internet, but it still does the same thing. Rebooting the computer didn't help either.

Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:

Check and tell if its working.

How do I start firefox in full screen?

I would like to start Firefox in LINUX environment from the command line. That is easy just type FIREFOX and hit enter or call a script for that instruction ios what I do.
The challenge is to start the browser FULL SCREEN, WITHOUT showing the cursor on the pages. - [In reality I want to add the F11 parameter in the start script as well as as "do not show the cursor (No idea to invoke it manually). This is a web app running on PC with a touch screen. Secondly I would like to refresh (Shift+F5) every hour or so without human intervention. (take into account the browsers shows full screen and here is no cursor available, so some kind of delete cash in the background or refresh complete website (like doing a Shift+F5)
Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Frits

If you close Firefox 4 while in full screen mode then the browser should start in full screen mode the next time. That setting is stored in localstore.rdf in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder].
If you want to prevent toolbars from opening if you hover to the top then hide the full-screen-toggler with code in userChrome.css
Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

Yesterday I got a message that Firefox is updating, and since then I could not start Firefox again.

I am using WIndows 8 RP. Firefox used to work fine till yesterday. Yesterday I got a message that Firefox is updating, and since then I could not start Firefox again.
As the window starts and crashes there is no way I can see any error message.
I uninstalled Firefox, downloaded, and reinstalled again.
But no use, the problem persists.

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

How can I stop firefox from opening mulitiple tabs from past sessions everytime I start Firefox?

When I start Firefox from my task bar (windows 8) Firefox opens tabs from the previous secession. I'm using Yahoo as my home page.

You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the <b>browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once</b> pref to true.

Why is Firefox opening a separate browser window for each link instead of a new tab in the current browser window?

Suddenly firefox has started opening a new, separate browser window for every link and thing I open. It used to just open a new tab in the current browser. I must have closed down 15 browsers when trying to get back to a previous web page - the back button doesn't work when each click leads to a new window opening! I went into options and my settings have not changed, they still say "open new tab" for links. This just started happening out of the blue today. What's up?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Hi, I don't know who to turn to: the person who handles all the compter stuff is out of town, This A.M.I started up Firefox and there was a message re an update, I thoght I new just to click on install and wait to re start Firefox. But what I can remember

Hi, I don't know who to turn to: the person who handles all the compter stuff is out of town, This A.M.I started up Firefox and there was a message re an update, I thoght I new just to click on install and wait to re start Firefox. But what I can remember is that another window opened and asked me to choose 'something' (an icon or banner or?), I thought I must click something (I guess I should read all clearly). Firefox did update to 3.6.4, but it also inserted some sort of what might be called a banner? But it only partly covers the right one- half of my 3 toolbars at the top of the Firefox window. It can't be used for anything as it is just a mess of colors and unknowns, except what looks like a 'top' and what I recognize as a Firefox icon (but only partly visible)!! Now, what it does do is partly hide that whole portion of the toolbars and they are hard to read and in turn make this 'thing' impossible to figure out, if I would care to? I can't find anyway to remove it or use it?? But since the Firefox icon is on it, I guess you should know what it is and how to trash it. I am sorry for this occurrence caused my my carelessness, but I'm not much of a computer person ----HELP! Thank you for any help. Judi

The only thing I can imagine: it's a [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/personas/ Persona].

Here should be the persona (lightweight theme)
and a button "Remove"
Click it (button Remove), and it (Persona, this mix of colors) should go away instantly.
Does it help you?
