See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
(%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates)
Do a clean reinstall:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* 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.
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.

Each day when I start Firefox the search language has been reset from English to Spanish. I live in Spain but only speak English.

This is my first mac, it is a macbook pro. i restarted it but when it started back up i saw a white screen and then it prompted me to insert the reboot disk. anyone else have this problem?

I recently bought a Macbook Pro, this is my first Mac. I restarted it, but when it started back there was a plain white screen and then it prompted me to insert the reboot disk. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a way to do this manually like with PC's?

The new Mac's came with OS X Lion 10.7 and there are no boot disks.
Since it's so new, take it back to the Apple Store and let them deal with it.
If not you can hold Command and r (as in rotten) keys down and boot the computer.
You'll be presented with a several options, including one to reinstall OS X Lion provided you have a Apple ID, which means you have to use Safari in there to set one up. To do that you need to set up a email account with Google or Yahoo. Once you get the ID, then you can download Lion and reinstall it.
It's so stupid not having a copy of the OS on hand to perform your own repairs.
Of course Apple will be happy to sell you a $69 Lion USB stick.
Like I said, take it back to the store, and try to get your money back, that will force them to think about just giving you a replacement machine that works.
Lion doesn't work really but it can be acceptable until the patches get released.

When I start firefox it asks for my name, password and computer name everytime

Every time I click on the icon to start Firefox, it asks for my email address and password, then asks for my computer name. I have selected Facebook as my home page but it still asks me this when I go into Firefox. It is really aggravating now, can anything be done as it never used to do this before. Has been doing it now for a few weeks. Thank you.

You need to enter both serial numbers, first the Aperture 3 upgrade number, then the Aperture 2 number.
If Aperture does not accept the numbers, see:
Troubleshooting Professional Application Serial Numbers:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2005
And if nothing helps, contact Apple with aproof of purchase, see:
Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers

When I open Firefox, it goes to the first page and then stops, saying "Not Responding" with the cursor spinning. What can I do to fix this? Thanks for any help

When I open Firefox, it goes to the first page I open, but then stops and says "Not Responding" with the mouse cursor spinning. I hit the close button and it says Windows is searching for a solution (which doesn't come).
When I open Firefox again, it says:
Well, this is embarrassing.
Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
You can try:
Removing one or more tabs that you think may be causing the problem
Starting an entirely new browsing session
Any ideas? I gretly appreciate any help. Thanks!!

What is that first page?
Can't you open any web pages in Firefox?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|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 click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that 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.

When I start Firefox two copies come up

When I start the program two copies appear instead of the one I would like. The 2nd one doesn't have my tabs but does have bookmarks. I'd like to have one copy come up.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
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. 
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

I just got an Airport time capsule 2TB. When I start back-up it backs up about 17kb and then stops but says Calculating time remaining.... Anyone got an idea of what's going on?

Just got an Airport Time capsule,
I set it up as a network extension and began back-up.
It estimated 4 hours so I left it run. After 10 hours I noticed it had stopped backing up but had not back up to the time capsule. So I tried again and it just got stuck on Calculating Time Remaining. I reset the capsule a few times and have set it up as instructed. The same has happened each time.
It backs up about 17kb of info and then freezes with Calculating time remaining below the progress bar.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks

Network extension sounds onimous.. is this wireless extension.. it is super bad for large TM backups..
Always do the first backup direct by ethernet to the TC even if it has to be in full isolation.
Stalling at 17kb might be just the wireless having issues. Or it can be a corruption in a file.
Pondini is our source of all things Time Machine.. and trouble shooting it.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
A1.. install the widget so you have access to the TM logs.. what the heck it is doing.
A4. if you upgrade installed OS.. do a reset of TM and start over.
A5 verify the disk.
C9 watch out for network names that are over long and over complex.. especially with Mavericks. It is hopeless.
I do recommend using a USB connected drive.. to do a first backup it is often the easy way.
Much faster and more reliable than over network.

Can not access firefox on one of my accounts, it tells me its in safe mode

My son cannot access his accounts on this computer, the usual Mozilla Firefox icon on his desktop now reads Mozilla Safe mode
we tried clicking on that but nothing works

You can remove the -safe-mode switch from the target field in that desktop shortcut or create a new desktop shortcut via Start > All Programs > Mozilla Firefox and use Send To > Desktop to start Firefox in normal mode.

What shall I do when I install blackberry app world, it asks to reset and then won't turn on

Hi
Can I have some help, I was installing blackberry app world and I did it successfully until it asked me to reset my device. I agreed to this which then led to my phone shutting down and wouldn't turn on. My red light was flashing showing I had a new message however it doesn't do anything when I press any buttons. I installed it about and hour or two ago and 45 minutes without my phone doing anything is strange. Any advice on what to do?

if this solves it you know what to do...select solved
- If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.

Sometimes when I open Firefox I get a message about scripts and then it freezes it says something about Script: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:165

This happened this morning. Firefox seemed to freeze and go into slow motion.

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.
'''If this reply solves your problem, please click "Solved It" next to this reply when signed-in to the forum.'''

When I start the install, I choose "as current user" and then...nothing. The installation just stops.

That's it. I can't even get past the starting phase of the installation. It just dies. Any ideas? I'm on windows 7

Try this:
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon
You normally install Firefox as a normal user and confirm the UAC pop-up alert to allow Firefox to update the registry and install the Mozilla Maintenance Service to make it possible to update in the background.

Itunes locks up my PC when it starts. It tries to access the store and then the computer freezes and I have to pull the plug. Help!

I am running Windows XP and I have an iPhone 4, but ever since 5 days ago I cannot even open up iTunes without it freezing my PC. This happens with our without the phone plugged in. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes in the correct order and still it is happening. Can anyone help with what might have changed in my PC settings? TIA

You could try wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the OS and all your programs.
Did you install any programs yesterday?
If not it may be best to take it to an Apple care center and have it checked out. Take it in while it is asleep so you ccan show then what is happening.

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)
