When I close and restart, I can't open Firefox 4 without running the install program again.
I downloaded Firefox 4. It works fine. If I close it I can reopen it by clicking the desktop icon. But when I restart the PC (running Vista business 2007) the icon doesn't work. I get an error message. I need to re-run the installation program every time I restart my PC. Can you fix this?
You get message "firefox is still running" and computer restart doesn't help you. Try the advice below.
Make sure Firefox isn't running (end firefox.exe process in Task Manager or restart computer)
Find your profile folder
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
find file "parent.lock" in it and delete it (the file is empty, its function is to signify to Firefox whether it's already open or not).
Then try to open Firefox again. Will it start or not? What will it say?

Started to clear browse history and now I can't open Firefox at all for the past four hours
I am on a MacBook Pro and recently was prompted to upgrade Firefox. Since the upgrade, I found surfing the internet harder as I frequently found Firefox...not crashing...but it would get stuck trying to open up or to open up a new page or site. I looked this up in Firefox support and found something called "hanging" and this sounded like what I was experiencing. Looking through I tried finding the various solutions. Nothing helped. I did try to clear the browsing history. Each time I tried that, it locked up with the spinning thinking wheel. Then, I tried resetting the preferences to clear on exit and then exited. Ever since then, I cannot get Firefox to launch to the internet at all. I get "not responsive" on a right-click. Please help. I love my Firefox. - Lynda

Can I export a sequence without rerendering the entire thing again?
Using the latest FCP..
Im working on a project with some heavy boris effects stuff... SLOW SLOW rendering.. The entire sequence is already rendered.. but when I go to export the sequence as a QT movies.. using the current settings.. it wants to rerender the **** thing.. 4+ hours.. instead of just spitting out a QT built with the ALREADY rendered sequences.. The timeline is 1080i XDCAM. The sequences is only 5 minutes long.. So it should export in a matter of minutes if it didnt want to RERENDER EVERYTHING..
This is killing me right now..
Can I export a sequence without rerendering the entire thing again?Joe
Lets start at the bottom and work back ....
What is your target format? You want to export the sequence but for what purpose? Is it for broadcast delivery, for burning to DVD, for web, or ....?
You note that the timeline is 1080i XDCAM ... well that is a native Long GOP format. When you export it as a single self contained clip then all those GOP structures that make up the different elements of your sequenvce must be broken down and re-conformed into a singole semaless GOP structure that describes the whole. Thats why it is re-rendering.
And GOP's are a hog to decode and encode ... thats why you're seeing such SLOW SLOW rendering.
Suggestion number 1) Set your sequence's Render codec to ProRes 422 ... th erender files will be bigger but they rendering itself will be much faster.
Suggestion number 2) If you are not exporting back to XDCAM media specifically then there is no real reason to export your edit as XDCAM HD. Try exporting as ProRes 422 (as per the render setting) ie choose Export > Quicktime Movie w/ Setting: Apple ProRes 422 (+not Current Settings+)
Suggestion number 3) If you are working on a big and powerful mac like the latest and greatest MacPro's, then in future just set your sequence codec to ProRes 422 and edit the XDCAM files directly in that ProRes 422 timeline, when done then Export > Quicktime Movie w/ Current Settings
Hope thats helpful

I updated and now I can not open firefox
I installed the damn update you sent and now I can't get Firefox open
What exactly happens when you double click the Firefox icon? Does it display any kind of error-message? And could you please start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to make sure that no customization is responsible for the issue?

I can not open Firefox. I keep getting the message "Failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your system administrator." I have tried uninstalling Firefox and then reinstalling it but without success. What should I do?
Which Fx version? When you uninstalled Fx, did you <b>reboot</b> computer before reinstall?
Also, check for / delete any leftover files in the Fx programs install folders, before reinstall?
Is your profile in the default location or custom location?
Have you tried creating a <u>new, <b>completely</b> clean profile</u> - to test (then make sure to select that profile to start Fx - from the Profile Manager)? (no addons or plugins installed).
Does the user acct (that Fx fails under) have access ("rights") to all locations - especially for Fx profiles location? -
When I close a link in an email, I am also taken out of the email program and Safari. To view the next email I must reopen Safari and the email program each time.
Empty the Safari cache by pressing Command + Option + E on your keyboard.
Quit and relaunch Safari.
See if that made a difference.
If not, from the Safari menu bar click History > Clear History
Quit and relaunch Safari to test. -
Having updated firefox, it does not work. After an hour or so to try and open firefox, it says firefox has crashed and gives option to restart or quit.
Same with internet explorer and chrome - no response. After about an hour, excel finally opened but so slow to be able to do anything.
Also noticed a message bottom right corner of screen saying this version of windows is not authentic. I have windows 7 and it is legitimate and have not seen this message before.
I have read lots on the internet but nothing seems to match my problem if nothing working. I am unable to change settings or look at set up of any programmes because I cannot get in to them.....
Any ideas would be so gratefully relieved please!!
Thank you in advance,Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.
Starting The Computer In Safe Mode;
If running, turn your computer off.
Remove any disks and thumb drives that are in your hard drives or ports.
Now start your computer but also;
'''Windows; '''Press the <F8> key repeatedly.
'''Mac: '''Hold down the Shift key.
'''Linux; '''Using the command line, Linux/Unix computers can be booted
into various run levels that determine which resources are loaded.
For example, "runlevel 1" is typically the equivalent to Windows and
Mac safe modes.
* Source; '''[http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Linux+Safe+Mode Safe Mode; Free Online Encyclopedia]'''
When the '''Boot''' menu is displayed, release the key you were pressing.
You must now choose what mode to use. The most used are;
* Safe Mode; The computer runs with only a minimum set of programs.
* Safe Mode '''With '''Networking; Same as above, but with internet access. -
I updated firefox 27.0.1(x86.en-US) two days ago and now it is not opening. please help me, it is frustrating. I have been using firefox for a long time and I have saved a lot. can you please help me. I have checked under firewall and Mozilla firfox is not blocked. I have read every recommendation I could get to fix the problem but not working. I have windows 7
One of the suggestions probably was to try starting Firefox in its Safe Mode by holding down the shift key when starting Firefox. (This doesn't work if Firefox is still running hidden in memory.)
In the small dialog that should appear, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any luck?
Also, I will message you a link to download Firefox 27.0, in case the problem is unique to Firefox 27.0.1. -
I had Firebox 3.6 Just downloaded the updated Firefox 9.0. Everything seemed to run fine in the intallation but I can not open the browser. It keeps prompting me to reboot to finish the installation. I have rebooted and shut down completely. It continues to prompt me to reboot. I really need the brower to open, I'm going to lose all my bookmarks and I hate Internet Explorer.
Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox. -
Cant' open Firefox at all, not in safe mode either, tried creating new profile, cant' get in to do that, tried uninstalling and reinstalling, switching off and on, nothing works. Get error: "The instruction at "0x00000000" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be read."
== This happened ==

Install "Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware" free edition and use it. This program found malware in your pc. After that clean this malware. Finally instal Firefox again and enyoy it because this installation is correct and clean. Regards. -
Mavericks install was unsuccessful, won't restart without running the install again
Help - I'm trying to update my mac 10.6.8 to Mavericks. I started the install which stopped - it said the install was unsucessful, and that I would need to back up and clear the Hard Drive before installing. However... when I restart it runs the Mavericks install again... t's a loop and it's driving me nuts.
Is there a way around that so I can restart to the old operating system? Any help appreciated! Thanks!You are welcome.
Try booting off the Snow Leopard DVD by holding down C during a restart or holding down the option/alt key and selecting the DVD. Run Disk Utility Repair Disk and Repair Permissions. Reboot and test.
If that doesn't work and you have an external hard drive that is empty, boot off the DVD and run Disk Utility/Restore to copy your hard drive to the external hard drive. Then erase your computer hard drive (format Mac OS Extended ( Journaled) and re-install Snow Leopard. Reboot normally and update to 10.6.8. Download Mavericks again (if desired) and try the upgrade again. If successful, you should be able to delete the installer from the external drive and copy your files back to your computer.
10.6.8 Combo Updater

I get an error message that says an instance of mozilla firefox is already running, please close it to continue.
The question already explains the situation. I need all three terminals to use firefox concurrently.
Did not have this problem with the previous version.That happens if all instances use the same profile folder.
Only one instance can use a specific profile.

HP4275A can not pass self test after running the labview program
I am using Labview to control HP4275A LCR meter. The Labview program is just the instrument driver for the HP4275A, and it works great. Before running the program, the instrument can pass both Open and Short test perfectly. But after running the program, it can not pass self test, neither Open nor Short. I don't know why?? Is it relative to my Labview program??
ThanksThank you so much for your help. Yes, the instrument is in Local after running the instrument driver. In normal Open self test, just choose Capactiance as the Display A, and leave the four output terminals open then press the Self Test button. The Open self test will start and "OP" will be shown in the DIsplay A window, after 2 seconds, the open test will be finished. If something abnormal, the number of the abnormal step is displayed in Display A. Similar with the Short test.
The problem I had was: before running the instrument driver, the self tests pass; but after running the instrument driver, the Open and Short test show abnormal, Open test is abnormal at step 17, and Short test is abnormal at step 24.
And the instrument driver is only write commands into the instrument and then read back measuring values from it. Nothing else. So I am not sure if the problem is my instrument driver.
The weird thing is the problems happened several times and then if I do the Open and Short self test again after running the instrument driver, both pass. I am not sure whether the problem will come back or not.
Ia there any help??
Big thanks
