When i try to use firefox it says that install.rdf is not well formed or doesn't exist. what can i do?
i click the firefox button on my desktop and a window pops up saying what i wrote in my question. i turn the window off and firefox opens normally. it says exactly this:
Firefox could not install this item because "install.rdf" (provided by the item) is not well formed or does not exist. Please inform the authors about this problem.
This error can be caused by an extension that tries to install a plugin in a way that is not compatible with current Firefox versions.
Do you see any disabled extensions in Tools > Add-ons > Extensions ?

I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?
Acrobat XI is not distributed with Designer. Designer is now a separate product. You can create forms in Acrobat as an AcroForm or using Forms Central (an online forms program). You can print the form to a new PDF and then recreate the fields in Acrobat using the recognize form fields. You will likely have to fix the form fields, but that would be the process. Generally, once a form is taken to Designer, you can't bring it back without such steps.
Designer is available with AA8 - AAX, but since is a separate product as I indicated. -
Since I updated my adobe flash player firefox keeps saying that it is not responding after I open it and it loads my home page, I disabled add-ons and went throught the process of figuring out which one it was and it was adobe flash, but without flash I cant access a lot of different sites, how can I fix this. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both firefox and adobe flash, but neither works!

This happens after I have used firefox and exited the program. When I try to reuse the program I get this message. Is there a setting within firefox causing this or ??? I have tried to locate the session running without any luck. Would appreciate any help. I have uninstalled the program and then reinstalled it, but nothing has changed it continues to malfunction.

It also says that Windows cannot connect to the Internet using HTTP, HTTPS or FTP. This is probably caused by Firewall settings on this computers. Check the firewall settings for HTTP port (80), HTPPS prot (443) & FTP port (21).
This all started when I tried to tried to delete the Verizon Broadband toolbar and home page that always opened when I opened Firefox.In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".
See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"<br />
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy -
After the last update, my IBM Clone computer does not close the session of firefox when clicking on "close" it clears the screen back to the desktop but firefox continues to hang there in the backround and will not allow another session of firefox to start until the first session is closed. The only way to reconnect is to do a restart on my system, and then the old firefox session is closed and the new session will start.
Must be the "hang at exit" problem. <br /><br />

I'm working on a Mac laptop. Currently Firefox is on version 3.6. I've never been able to update the browser. Any suggestions? Thank you
If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Hi, Jennifer.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that VoiceOver has been activated and you are unable to access your device. I have done this myself and here are the steps to disable this feature.

When setting up a Firefox Sync account I was never asked a secret phrase. When I try to use Firefox Home it asks for the secret phrase. What do I do? (using Firefox 3.6.10, iphone 4 and macbook OS X
On the MacBook, open up the Preferences dialog and go to the Sync panel. Click the Manage Account button so it shows more options, then click on the My Sync Key link to show you the Sync Key.
The sync key is the same as the secret phrase, it was renamed in recent versions of Firefox Sync. -

..Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee

When I try to load firefox it only shows in the bar at the bottom of the screen. I can highlight it but when I click on it, it just returns to the bar. Can't get it to maximize. Please help.
The "System Tray" is located at the very bottom right of your screen and is a list of most/all running applications that will show in this list.
For your SysFader issue, this "may" be the problem:
1 Find the "My Computer" desktop icon and right-click it. A pull-down menu will appear. Select "Properties."
2 Click on the "Advanced" tab. This will load a new page of options.
3 Select the "Visual Effects" tab at the top of the window and deselect "Animate Windows when minimizing and maximizing," "Fade or slide menus into view," "Fade or slide Tool Tips into view" and "Fade out Menu items after checking."
4 Click "OK." This will remove most if not all of the Sysfader effects, at the same time correcting related errors that used to come up during opening a new file or program.
