When I try to quit Firefox, the open page closes, but the application does not. Must Force Quit to close the application.

I am using a Macbook running 10.6.8 with Firefox version 9.0.1. Recently, when trying to close the Firefox application, the open page disappears, but the application stays open, but is unresponsive. I must force Quit the application at this point. If I try to work in the Menu Bar I get the spinning beach ball until I do the Force Quit. This isn't right and is making me nervous about the reliability of this browser.

Hi swf13245-
Is Firefox working ok up until it freezes when you try to close it? I found an article on how to troubleshoot Firefox when it hangs- but this typically is for users who have trouble while using the application as opposed to just when shutting it down:
[[Firefox hangs]]
Hope that helps.

I downloaded the recent Pages update but now I can not open some documents done last year. I get an error saying that I need to download a newer version of Pages. I am running version 4.3

I downloaded the recent Pages update but now I can not open some documents done in the past year. I get an error saying that I need to download a newer version of Pages. I am running version 4.3. Do I have to purchase an update of Pages?

You are not on Mountain Lion anymore, right? You are on Mavericks and have downloaded Pages 5 and then created docuemnts in it which can't be opened in Pages 09.
No, you don't have to buy a newer Pages but you have to be particular about which version you use.

Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

Or if you've recently got the phone unlocked then you'll need to connect it to itunes and then do a fresh restore to unlock it ,although for most users simply connecting to itunes for few seconds did the trick.

what can in do?

Well unfortunatly that advice does not always work. I bought a unlocked iphone4 from apple several years ago and went to att on a no contract basis. Six months later the phone crashed while updating the operating system. Apple replaced the phone with a new one. All is fine till I got a iphone5 and gave te phone to my cousin. The phone is now locked to att but att says the IMEI number is not a valid ATT IMEI and therfore cant unlock it. Apple says there is nothing They can or are willing to do so now I am stuck for a 600.00 phone that can't be used.
If anyoun knows a way naround this situation mI would appreciate a heads up.

Lately when I try to right click it opens a new tab with recent searchs.I have to go back to the tab and right click again to get the options. How do i fix it?

When I try to right click now instead of getting the menu it goes into a new tab showing recent searches.I have to go back and right click again to get the menu and do what I wanted in the first place.Is there a way to fix this.This is really irritating.I like firefox but I'm ready to go back to Chrome. Thanks for any help.

You're right-clicking a link? I can't think of any setting that opens a blank tab when you right-click in a page. It's also strange that it would occur on the first click but not on the second click.
Does this affect all sites?
Are you expecting Firefox's context menu or the site's context menu?
One thing that comes to mind is overriding the site's own right-click handler by disabling scripts from capturing the right click. This is set under
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content
To the right of "Enable JavaScript" is a button to access "Advanced" options. If it's checked, uncheck the box for "Disable or replace context menus".

When I try to execute Firefox, it appears to start but doesn't. It seems the internet cache is still loaded from before. How do I clear this (I have that feature checked to delete cache on Firefox shutdown)?

This happens each time I try to start Firefox. I click the icon, my cursor goes into busy mode, then just stops. When I tried to run CCleaner, it tells me I need to stop Firefox. I pressed Ctrl/Alt/Delete and it doesn't show it as running. I went to processes tab and ended task of Firefox.exe and it still won't start.

Did you find the Firefox profile folder?
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders, use %APPDATA% in the File name field<br />
Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders"<br />

Hello almauck,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to update Pages on my iMac.
I recommend signing out of the App Store and signing back in and then trying the update again:
Sign out
Choose Store > Sign Out.
Sign in using an Apple ID
Choose Store > Sign In, or click Sign In in the Quick Links section. The Quick Links section is located in the right part of the window shown when you click Featured, Top Charts, or Categories in the toolbar.
Enter your Apple ID and password, and then click Sign In.
Mac App Store: Sign in and out

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

The opening page of Firefax has a box with E8 01 in it where the video start arrow should be. Similar problem with my email.

Same as above. Also when I open my scbglobal email via Firefox I have a similar problem where previously there were simple blank boxes to place a check in, and when I open an email attachment via Firefox to sbcglobal (AT&T DSL) the attachment is garbled. I have been a long time user of Firefox and never had any problems with Firefox or my email account. I contacted AT&T regarding the problem and of course they said it was a Firefox problem and said I needed to uninstall and reinstall Firefox which I have done twice now.
When I open my email via Internet Explorer I do not have any problems except that I want to use Firefox NOT EI.
HELP!
PS I have a screen shot of the opening Firefox page, how do I attach it?

When I try to put new items on my website on Intuit, Mozilla does not allow

NOt only does it take ages for Mozilla to open but when I try to put new items on my website: www.carolannathan.com, I have lots of trouble.

I need some answers why I am having this problem and how to solve it.

Hi sir...my firefox is having this peculiar problem ..i have tried all the steps given in the prevoius page..but youtube video is not buffering...

initially it buffers for a second...suddenly message appears 'error occured..'...only youtube is having this problem..other website videos buffers fine..i have tried all the solutions you have given in the these pages...but its not working..please help me out...

Thank you for your question, we are currently investigating the cause of this and a work around. Currently there was a blocking of a number of ips in India that has had a large affect on Firefox/Youtube users.
Suggestions for troubleshooting this issue have been:
*"Clear the Cache":
Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
*"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
*As well as temporarily changing dns to 8.8.8.8
*Flushing the dns cache on the computer
*File may be unavailable, please try again later.
*Disable all video players from [about:addons] and see if it will play from the default HTML5 player.
Please post back with your results, it could help other users. Thank you.

Despite my selecting Firefox as default browser, any link clicked goes to open IE browser, but that too does not open and sends an error message. Please advise.

I installed a HP printer on my desktop. To do this I had to temporarily discontinue some services (start/run/services.msc). The printer was installed successfully, but IE got currupted, it seems. Any link clicked went to IE instead of my default browser Firefox, but IE too would not function.
Please advise what may have happened and how do I correct it?

{Ctrl + P} and select your printer in the Printer - Name box near the top of that window.
