When I click the firefox icon a pop-up window me if want want firefox to take control of my hard drive

If I reply 'NO' Firefox does not start.
If I reply 'Yes' firefox starts as normal but In addition the 'close' tab, top right of the Firefox screen is filled with black. It works correctly if you can remembere exactly where each of the symbols is

Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

  • I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.

    I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.

    Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
    Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list.

  • When I click the Firefox icon, 10 seperate instances open, how do I stop this?

    When I click the Firefox icon, 10 seperate instances open

    Check the Home page setting:
    * [[How to set the home page]] - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols

    If multiple windows open then there can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.

  • My firefox custom page does not come up when i click the firefox icon w/mac

    For the last 3 days when I click the firefox icon on my mac i get the plain igoogle page. My custom page does not automatically come up as befoe. Then I have to reset the i google password everytime then get to my page

    Ok, lets do a couple of steps here first:
    To make sure your windows isn't corrupted because of the power outage, let's run chkdsk.
    Click on My Computer, then right click your C: Drive (if you have other hard drives, you will want to run this on them as well). Then, click Properties. Inside that window, go to the Tools tab. Inside that tab, open up the "Check Now" button. That will open a smaller window. Select the checkbox to "Automatically fix file system errors", then hit Start. You will probably receive an error asking if you want to schedule the disk check, click Yes, then restart your computer.
    Read [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265] for more information.
    After running the chkdsk, then please go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com], and download a fresh version of Firefox. I'm assuming you are using Internet Explorer to download Firefox. Instead of hitting Run, let's try hitting save. Remember where it saves the installer file on your computer.
    After the download has finished, double-click and run the Firefox install. Once it is finished, try to start Firefox up. Let me know how it goes!

  • I am receiving emails, but nothing opens when I click the email icon

    When I click the email icon, a blank email screen pops up for about 10 seconds, then shuts down and goes back to the main screen. I have restarted the iphone, closed the applications and even checked my emails online. Nothing seems to be working. Any Ideas?

    Do a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for your phone to boot back up.   then check the emails.

  • When I click the preview icon it does not load.

    When I click the Preview icon ti does not load. what can I do?

    Are you sure it doesn't start?  Just opening preview doesn't open a file.  Look in the top left of the menubar and see if it says preview.  Double click on a PDF file and see if that opens preview.

  • I have two facebook accounts availible when I click the facebook icon in aperture it tries to log into the disabled account. It doesn't give me any option to continue making an album for the enabled account. Why?

    I have two facebook accounts availible when I click the facebook icon in aperture it tries to log into the disabled account. It doesn't give me any option to continue making an album for the enabled account. Why?

    I suppose I could delete it, but the whole point of multiple accounts is so I can post to either. One is mine, one is my wife's. If it is not enabled why would I need to log into it to post to my own account. The system has no problem associating existing albums with my account, I is only failing to allow me to choose only my account to create an new one. It is clearly designed to handle multiple accounts, but seems to have a bug directing it to ask for the password for a disabled account instead of allowing selection of and posting to the enabled one.

  • HT201401 My new Iphone 4 camera is not functioning.  When I click the phone icon. The photo shutter appears, but nothing else happens.  I've shut the phone off and turned on serveral times.  The same thing occures.,

    My new iphone 4S camera is not functioning.  When I click the phone icon, the shutter appears.  Then the screen only shows the shutter.  When I go back to the home screen and click the phone icon again.  The photo screen only shows a black screen.  The button to take photos is locked the entire time.  I've turned the phone on and off several times.

    Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  Have these ALL been tried?

  • My mail window won't come up when I click the mail icon in desktop.  Mac Book Pro

    My Mail window won't come up when I click the mail icon in desktop.  My Accounts both show as marked in accounts.

    Try clicking GO in the menu bar/Go to folder in the pane enter  ~/Library/Preferences/com,apple.mail.plist
    Another way is to hold the OPTION key click GO in the menu bar>Library>Preferences, locate the the file com.apple.mail.plist
    Drag this file to the trash (do not empty)
    Quit Mail log out and reboot, see if that helps, if it does not you can drag the file from the trash and and replace it where it was. (it will probably give you a this file already exists, click replace)
    Post back there may another thing to check.

  • Why does my mini ipad reset when I click the camera icon?

    Why does my mini ipad reset when I click the camera icon?

    Try doing a manual reset:
    Hold both the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.
    If that does not work, restore your iPad: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

  • I am trying to publish my ibook. When I click the publish icon i immediately get this message: 'iBooks Author couldn't connect to the iBooks store'. My internet connection is fine, and this book was uploading fine yesterday. I want to change metadata

    I am trying to publish my ibook. When I click the publish icon I immediately get this message: 'iBooks Author couldn't connect to the iBooks store. Check your internet connection, then try again.' My internet connection is fine, and this book was uploading fine yesterday. I want to change metadata.

    When you are having problems with a site - consider weather between you and it and amount of traffic (time of day).
    Bad weather can cause problems with a connection as it travels on the information highway - hazard a guess all traffic that went through Buffalo is being routed elsewhere.   
    Bad weather can slow down handshake etc to the point of requiring too many resends - so Ibook is timing you out.

    i woke up in  the morning and my iPhone said i have to activate it but when i click the activation icon it says oops try again later

    Exactly the same issue here in Hungary. I have the iOS 7 Developer release. I think this has to do something with the iOS7 Activation lock, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818 I just don1t get why I cannot unlock with my password.
    Restore is not available in iTunes as I have the find my phone turned on on the device, it says I should disable the feature in the iPhone, but I'm not able to "log-in"
