When I try to bookmark a page the dropdown menu only shows 4 of my many bookmark folders.

I have a heck of a lot of bookmark folders. These show up in the dropdown menu when I click on Bookmarks in the toolbar. However just today when I try to bookmark a web page, I only am given offered four folders in which to file the bookmark. Clicking on "choose" doesn't show any folders at all that I've created. Same thing when I open MF in safe mode with addons not enabled.
If I click on "Bookmarks menu" in the bookmark window then click on the arrow to chose a file, I see an odd assortment of random bookmarks and files.
To complicate matters, perhaps: This morning Firefox went crazy. Details don't matter now. I followed instructions in MF support and saved critical files. Then uninstalled and reinstalled a new copy of MF. Created a new profile and moved critical files into it.
Am I missing a file? Is something corrupted? (How would I find it?) Why would MF not see my folders when asked to file a bookmark?
Thanks

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the 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]]
This can also be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

First, make sure iTunes is correctly installed. You may want to reinstall it.

If iTunes is installed correctly, hold down the volume down and sleep/wake buttons till you see the apple logo, then try again.

TS1717 I have been running Itunes on windows vista and recently loaded Itunes on my Lap top which runs on Windows 7. When I try to play my music the Lap top only play sample music. Any suggestions?

I have a desk top which has Windows Vista. On this computer I have been running Itunes for a long time. My new computer is a Lap top and it runs Windows 7.
I recently loaded Itune on the new computer. I attemted to use Easy Transfer to transfer my Music but was unable to connected the two computers so I transferred my music to a external hard drive and loaded the music on the new computer. I have the folders and files carefully and they appear to match. When I try to run Itunes on the new computer I am unable to access the new music. Itune always goes to the sample music. The only difference I can come up with is Windows Vista and Windows 7. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,
Are you trying to use the Help -> Updates method?
Both those patches need to be manually applied to PSE 9.

Why are my bookmarks not in the dropdown menu?

I upgraded to the Firefox 4 beta version and none of my bookmarks show up in the dropdown menu. Id also like to point out thatnone of my previously saved passwords show up and Firefox doesnt ask me if i want to save them when i enter them. Im not sure if these are just bugs in the beta version but if they could be fixed that would be a great help.

Create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

Do you see the bookmarks if you click the new bookmark button on the Bookmarks Toolbar or on the Navigation Toolbar if the Bookmarks Toolbar is hidden?
This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

When I select an email address from the dropdown menu and hit return, Thunderbird then fills in a different email address. Yosemite upgrade?

I just upgraded to OS X Yosemite and this new "feature" appeared. I often have several email addresses that contain the same set of characters. I just type the first few characters and then select the appropriate email address from the dropdown menu that appears. But if I hit return afterwards to enter another email address, the first address gets switched back automatically to the first one that appeared in the dropdown menu. The more characters I type, the more accurate it is, but it totally defeats the purpose of autofill if I have to type the entire email address! Anyone else having this problem? And can you guys please fix it? If you select something from the dropdown menu, it should stay selected.
Thanks!

This forum is filled with this same complaint. There is a bug reported on it. If and when they fix it is another question.
Version 24.6 works if you want to go back to a working version.

When i try to download an update the dropdown automatically inserts my apple id which is wrong. It's in gray and will not allow me to type in a correct id. How do I stop / delete the automatic insertion of the id?

When i try to download an update from the appstore the dropdown menju automatically inserts my apple id (which is wrong). It's in gray and will not allow me to type in the correct id. How do i stop the auto insert so that i can enter the correct id?

the original apple id was entered incorrectly. Apple says it must be a email address. My email address is correct but the letter ( t ) somehow got added to the (.com) so that when i try to enter my id it is automaticly loaded with the email address the ends ( .comt ) . According to Apple this is not a "legal" email id. But it appears on my dropdown in gray and i cannot alter it or delete it, thus preventing me from downloading software updates.

When I try to download a program, the pop-up only gives me the option to "save" the program, instead of giving me the option to "run" the program. How do I fix this?

I have tried downloading iTunes (and Quicktime), but instead of giving me the option to "run" the program, Firefox only gives me the option to "save" the program (which I already tried, does not work to give me access to the downloaded program). Is there a setting I need to change?

That's intentional, because running exe files from your browser is a major security concern. You can run the file after you have downloaded it. If you don't know where it is on your computer, go to '''Tools > Downloads''', and double-click on it from the Downloads window.

Firefox 3.5 was downloaded fine, but when I try to open firefox page, "the application failed to initialize properly" error sign comes up.

I've been using firefox fine until now. But when I launched firefox page today, suddenly "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000007b). Click on OK to terminate the application." error sign came up. So I downloaded and ran firefox again, and tried lauching, the same error message. Thank you for your help.

When i try to load certain page, the system crashed and the bottom panel states " stopped" but when I close and open firefox again,it can't and I get this message that says my firefox is still running and to open the browser i need to restart the compu

while browsing suddenly the system crashed and the bottom panel says " stopped".When closed and re-opened, I got a prompt that says firefox is still running and i have to close to open again or have to restart the computer but it doesn't work
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== just happened

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?

When I try to update my apps the wrong apple ID shows up how do I change it

I am trying to update my apps and the wrong apple ID username comes up for a password . How do I change it to be mine?

Go into the Settings app and select Store. The account displayed should be the one you are being prompted to supply the password for. You can press that button and it should give you the option to sign out of that account. Once you do that you will be able sign in with another account or create a new one. As noted by the previous poster, changing accounts will not change the ownership of the apps already purchased.

In Pages 5 when I try to attach a pages document to an email it gives me 2 folders and 4 files ??? How does one email a pages document.

How does one email a pages document? In pages 5 when I try to attach a pages document to a gmail email it gives me 2 folders and 4 other files to choose from.

Sounds like you are using Gmail.
Pages 5 uses a zipped package of files as its format. 3rd party servers don't understand the format and show it as the component parts.
Use Mail toenail the file or zip the .pages document before sending.

When I try to bookmark a page, the choose option dies not display any of the folders in my bookmark menu

Question
When I try to bookmark a page, the choose option dies not display any of the folders in my bookmark menu
I have a new computer and download of Mozilla Firefox, but imported bookmarks from older computer. Could that be the problem?

I'm not familiar with Windows 7, but... is it possible there is a permissions problem with your profile folder, or read-only set on any database files?

When I try to bookmark a page the dropdown menu only shows 4 of my many bookmark folders.
