When I start Firefox it gives me a box that says Firefox is now running in "safemode".... how do I get this to go away??

When I go to start FireFox a box pops up that says "Firefox is now running in Safe Mode, which temporarily disables your custom settings, themes, and extensions." Than it gives me options to check mark.... like.... Disables all add-ons, reset toolbars, and controls, delete all bookmarks except for backups, reset all user preferences to firefox defaults, and restore default search engines.
How do I make this box go away?

Nope I haven't put it in safe mode... no idea whats going on. I looked at the safe mode instructions and how to take it off safe mode and the article about how if it gets stuck. I did all of that and it's still stuck:-( I am thinking about uninstalling firefox and reinstalling it.

  • I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

    I remember that with Snow Leopard you could download them from the Apple website.

    Read the Boot Camp Documentation while you run Boot Camp Assistant to download the Windows Support Software which was the first step in the Boot Camp Setup procedure.

  • Just restored my iPad, now the start up Apple on home screen keeps coming up.  Cannot turn iPad off.  How do I get this to stop and use my iPad again?

    Just restored my iPad, today.  Now the start up Apple sign on the home screen keeps popping up.  Cannot seem to turn off the iPad, either.  How do I get this to stop, so I can use my iPad again..

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • I can not find firefox after it downloads. I keep getting a box that says I can't run it under this user, when I put in my user name and password it disappears

    The download appears to work ,it extracts the files then a box comes up saying I can't run it as this user( with the name of my login),. gives me the option to check my login name or check administer with a password. I have tried both, I am the only administer on the computer. Using windows vista. I have searched and some of the things like turorials etc are on my computer but I can't get the actual browser to open and there is no shortcut for firefox. Currently I am using IE since chrome kept freezing up, so does IE.

    Can you give me a screenshot of the User Accounts window in Control Panel?
    Please create a screenshot by following the guide mentioned at [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]].

  • Firefox wants to update and when I tell it yes it has a box that says "software update" that comes up and just says at the top Downloading Firefox but below that it continues to say CONNECTING to update server

    This has been going on for weeks now. I've left it alone for a long time and when I come back the box still says "connecting to update server" - no evidence it actually updates - and Firefox keeps saying it wants to update - have used firefox for years and never had this problem before and the internet is working just fine.

    If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.<br />
    You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
    Do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * 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 in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile 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.

  • Itunes give me a box that says.......

    iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost. And then it has a debug button and a close button.
    It does this when i double click on the itunes button. Now before that, I got the error that it couldnt remove the old version of itunes and went to my run box and put in regedit and deleted all traces of itunes in there because I saw that in a different forum. I finally got it to upgrade to 7, but now I get this box. Any ideas?

    okay, that certainly sounds like a problem with your QuickTime.
    let's try this technique first.
    head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

  • I uninstalled Firefox and now am trying to reinstall and i get this error msg "couldn't load XPCOM.

    I uninstalled Mozilla so I could use Internet explorer for a work project. I was unable to access the internet w/IE so I tried to reinstall Mozilla. When I click on the icon I get "couldn't load XPCOM. Some of the other suggestions were to copy the download on this second computer, save to flash drive and then add to pc. How do I download mozilla to a flash drive? Or how can I access the internet if I can't use Mozilla or IE?

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 25: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *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 personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

  • Just installed Firefox 7.0.1 on a Mac running OSX 10.6.8 - the installation Disc icon remians on the desktop and each time I launch, Firefox opens a window asking me to drag the Firefox icon to my Applications folder. How do I get this to go away?

    I have installed the application to my applications folder and everything else is working perfectly. But normally, after you've installed a browser, the istallation disk icon that appears on your desktop can be ejected or deleted without detriment. Mine keeps coming back...

    Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.<br />
    Open the DMG file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.<br />
    You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.
