When I upgrade to FF 26 on my PC laptop, I am no longer able to open any web pages on any browser. Help

Whenever I upgrade to FF 26 on my pc laptop I am no longer able to open any web pages on my laptop in any browser. If I reset my system to a previous date I am good to go. Any ideas on what may be going on or how to troubleshoot it? I am not a technical person - btw
My connection to the internet still shows as connected, but I cannot open any web pages.
thanks,
Bill

Is this happening on a computer running Windows (you posted with as Mac)?
If this is an issue on a Windows computer:
It is possible that security software (firewall, anti-virus) 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.

Can email be kept open in the background when you open a web page?

Can email be kept open in the background when you open a web page?
Thanks, that helped.

If you mean using the mail app - yes it can be kept open. You do not have the multiple open windows feature in iOS like on a computer so you still have to navigate back to the mail app via double tapping the home button or by swiping to switch apps if using multitasking gestures.

I upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS X Snow Leopard. Now I can't open any videos. I get a "Blocked Plug-In" message. When I go into Preferences - Security, there is nothing to check or un-check to unblock them. Now what do I do?

When I upgrade to iWork '09 will I be able to open my previous .pages files

YsDa have book manuscripts that I want to be able to work on using my iPad which required iWork '09 since none of my exports from version 1.0.2 was not good enough. So I sort of went into panic mode because the DVD drive in my old PowerBook is sort of wonky and I can't upgrade my so beyond 10.4.11 and now what? But as luck would have it I found a new iWork '09 on eBay (the slightest scratch would not allow an install on my persnickety computer) and it was cheap too! It should be here in a couple of days. So now I worry..
Will I be able to open my old pages files up with the new version??? I have several completed books now up on amazon that I would love in the iBooks store, so I need to be able to open those files. And I have two unpublished manuscripts that I would die a thousand deaths over if I cannot open them ever again.
Has anyone ever run into an opening crisis following an upgrade???

I currently disagree with your suggestion not to write a large document in Pages. At least, so far, with my version 1.0.2! My first book was 8x10 and 440 pages long with 27 full page images. No problems there. The trilogy books are each 6x9 and the shortest is 432 with the largest 500 pages. Again, no problems. Not even with exporting to a pdf file for CreateSpace. And with the one book that was 440 pages long, there were over 100 pages of index. Then when I wanted to create a Kindle book with that index cross-referenced AND entirely clickable, there were thousandSSSSSS of links that I created in Pages. Pages being the ONLY app that could handle the sheer volume of that task. I was impressed. I'm still impressed.
My problem is that my computer...a PowerBook 13" that is was only able to have a grand total of 768 MB of RAM (I know...it's laughable...but that is the way it rolls at top speed). I tried to install more but it wouldn't accept it, being that 1000MB of RAM was it's max and the one chip was soldiered in and I couldn't get it above 768MB. So that's my world. It's limited. And yet, my old Pages and this old computer has done AMAZING things. Actually, amazing,is an understatement.
When I do write, I put placeholders when an image might need to go. The trilogy has an image as a decoration at each chapter. So there are 22 of those in each book too. I originally used low res images to hold that place, but I have one all ready to publish and it has everything in it that it needs and it opens fine.
What I would NOT do is create a gigantic color picture book. I would definitely limit my images. Not only for the sake of being able to open the file, but because it would be too expensive to publish something via CreateSpace in color.
I have tried Libre Office. I was not impressed. Same with Scrivener. Pages has been outperforming them both on all counts. So far. After I try the '09 version, I'll make another assessment of my needs vs software. And I will continue to pray that my little PowerBook will keep running (so far, so good). Even if it's only to use Pages that hasn't been dumbed down and my Photoshop, because it will be a blizzard in you-know-where before I pay Adobe for Photoshop by the month. That just will not happen.
When push does finally come to shove, I will figure out what I'll do then. I'm not even sure I would buy another Mac. There have been too many changes that I don't particularly like enough to pay so much for only to despise. I have always loved Macs because they were Artist friendly. There was so much that could be accomplished using one. They have been worth the expense just to be able to make dreams visible. But now, it seems that the power of the computer is being reduced to that of a cell phone and a tablet and that is just not going in the right direction at all. I am hoping that all changes. Soon.
I've been setting money aside for a new Mac. As the money has accumulated, the Mac's have changed. Not to be what I had wanted though. I am hoping by the time I drop the last dime in the pink piggy there will be a machine that is right for my eclectic purposes. If not, I'll spend a small portion of it on a big PC and spend the rest of it on a cruise.
Thank you all for answering my questions.
Peace.
And say a little prayer that Mac doesn't obliterate the specific needs of artists/musicians/movie makers/writers/animators/and all the others who need more than the bare bones basics to keep us happy.

Since upgrading to FaceTime 1.0.5 (170) I am no longer able to open the application on my MacBook Pro. I am using operation system OSX 10.6.8 and being presented with error message "You have been disconnected - an internal error occurred.

No longer able to open the application on my MacBook Pro since upgrading to FaceTime 1.0.5 (170). The operating system is OSX 10.6.8.

My problem opening FaceTime after the upgrade is now solved. I didn't pay enough attention when prompted to decide where to store the application upgrade and as a consequence the computer created another "Applications" folder within the existing one. When I subsequently clicked on the icon on the dock to open the application the computer couldn't find the software.

Can you tell us about one or more of the video files - what are they? QuickTime? MP4? Something else? How did you create the video files in the first place?
I do a lot of video and when I upgraded to Snow Leopard I discovered that many of the QT videos that I had created previously (via iMovie & Final Cut) would not play correctly in QuickTime X - the bizarre behavior was that QT X acted as if my video files were only audio files! I reported this to Apple at the time but never heard anything back, and there hasn't been any change in later updates to QT X.
The solution was to (re)install QuickTime 7. But first look in your Applications > Utilities folder. When you upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, the installer normally moves the old QT 7 program to your Utilities folder. If it's there, try using QT 7 to play one of your video files. If QT 7 is not there, you can download and install it from here Make sure you are running at least OS X 10.6.3 before you install QT 7. It's even better if you make sure you are running 10.6.8 which was the last release of Snow Leopard.

Firefox opens ok, but crashes when I open a web page

I upgraded Shockwave and Flash today, and since then, Firefox will crash when I open a web page. Firefox itself opens fine, but opening Gmail or Facebook causes it to crash with a windows error saying it has crashed.
Im using...
Firefox 4.0.1 on Windows 7
Flash player V10 plugin
Shockwave V11.6

This is very consistent, happens within minutes? In that case, I suggest this test:
To see whether one of your extensions is the culprit, could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

when i try to open a web page, a blue screen appears - message says - sarfari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet. i have an iphone - no proble and a laptop - no problem as well.
what is wrong?

There are other things that need attention:
Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.
*Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32
Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened. The Ask toolbar can be installed as part of Foxit.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

If the third link you posted (the link containing the word "majority") does not look like the following then you inadvertently installed adware.
That particular page should resemble the following:
The word "majority" in the third paragraph should not be a link and should not have the green icon associated with it.
To learn how this may have occurred, and how to prevent it from occurring in the future, read How to install adware
Most so-called "news" websites are nothing more than entertainment outlets that cater to prurient interests, and contain advertisements that leave the user about three clicks away from installing junk. If you decide to frequent those websites, Safari's "Reader" feature helps minimize that exposure.
Try it:

When I open a web page, the page is grayed out.

When I open a web page, the page opens, but is completely grayed out and does not respond to touch. When I touch the icon that inidicates the number of open web pages (from previous visits), it does not respond. What is the problem? It was working yesterday, and my internet connection is fine.

When I open a web page I want a new tab to a potential new page to pop up so I can open another page without opening another broweer

On the old firefox, when I opened a web page I could click on an unopened tab to open a new page. Now I have to go back and click on the browser again to open an entirely different page.

Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the "Restore Defaults" button to restore the default toolbar setup
You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file if this didn't help.
