When opening Firefox, I also get a popup page thanking me for installing AOL Toolbar.

Frequently, when opening Firefox 7.0.1 I get a popup page over the home page. The popup page is a Thank You for installing AOL Toolbar. I do not have the toolbar, though I might have in the past. I do not like AOL and want to stop the popup page but have not been able to. I do use Winamp's Toolbar and this could be the source of the problem. If Winamp Toolbar is the problem, I will uninstall it if there is no way to turn off the popup from there. Please assist.

There is some anecdotal evidence that the scripts on the Apple site that are supposed to detect the version of Windows you are running may fail for some users - jumping straight to the "Thank you for downloading ..." page with the installer not having been downloaded. As an alternative, you can go directly to the relevant downloads:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (32-bit) - itunessetup.exe
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit) - itunes6464setup.exe
There is an alternative downloader for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address many of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version (the alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer). The "for older video cards" reference does not seem to fully define the scope of systems for which this alternative works better.
See turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details if you're still having problems with installation. This also includes links to the iTunes 12.0 installers if the issues reported with 12.1 suggest it safer to use the previous version.

Every time I open Firefox 4 I get a popup box saying: "OPENING FIREFOX SETUP 4.0.1.exe, Binary File from..." with different download link addresses

Every time I open Firefox 4 a popup box keeps trying to get me to run setup again. The box always reads: "Opening Firefox Setup 4.0.1.exe, Binary File from...." followed by a link address, which is different every time. Recent addresses: http://mirror.umoss.org.......also http://mozilla.mirrors.tds.net....also http://mozilla.ussg.indiana.edu
and so on.
Help! Thanks!

I am having the same problem and it seems to have just started (6/15/11). I have tried reloading the program several times and even the first release of the 4.o with no success. The same scenario also occurs when I click to open a new "tab" after the browser is already launched.

When I open firefox all I get is the page outline the contents of the page is missing

For 2 days now this is all I get when I open mozilla/firefox.I can see the outside frame of the page eg:facebook.But I can't see the contents of the page,It doesn't matter what site I try to access it's the same.I have cleared my cache,cookies,defragged rebooted and nothing seems to work.I even tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it and still no change.I rely on this browser for a lot of things I do.Help please!

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that 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 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.

Try a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
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.

When opening Firefox Mozilla,the following message appears -Update could not be installed.Make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer & then restart Firefox to try again.

If there are other copies of Firefox running, do not know how to check.

When opening Firefox I get a Java Scripts error message and Firefox will not always open

When opening Firefox browser I get an error message from JavaScript Application: "TypeError:components{cid} is undefined. Sometimes the Firefox browser will not open; sometimes it does. Very annoying!!

This can be caused by an add-on that says it is compatible with Firefox 4 but isn't quite compatible.

I Hate Bing and when I click on a Firefox NEW Tab and search I keep getting Bing results, I used to get Google which I would like back, my homepage when opening Firefox is not Bing but all tab searches retrieve Bing results.

My homepage when opening Firefox is not Bing, yet for some reason today it started using Bing instead of Google for my NEW tab search results. I already deleted Bing from the search bar, no results. Deleted Bing from my computer's control panel. I just want to be able to click a new tab and have my results in google as I always have.

hello, you have a malicious addon present on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove ''LyricsParty''.

When I open Firefox, it goes to the first page and then stops, saying "Not Responding" with the cursor spinning. What can I do to fix this? Thanks for any help

When I open Firefox, it goes to the first page I open, but then stops and says "Not Responding" with the mouse cursor spinning. I hit the close button and it says Windows is searching for a solution (which doesn't come).
When I open Firefox again, it says:
Well, this is embarrassing.
Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
You can try:
Removing one or more tabs that you think may be causing the problem
Starting an entirely new browsing session
Any ideas? I gretly appreciate any help. Thanks!!

What is that first page?
Can't you open any web pages in Firefox?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

When opening Bridge (CS6) I get the following message: "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation" I tried and after selecting purge cache it does not allow me to select OK. Also Bridge keeps saying "Building Criteria" with the spinning wheel and nothing happens. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. Please help:)

Maybe a Preferences reset can help:
Numerous program settings are stored in the Adobe Bridge preferences file, including display, Adobe Photo Downloader, performance, and file-handling options.
Restoring preferences returns settings to their defaults and can often correct unusual application behavior.
Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS) while starting Adobe Bridge.
In the Reset Settings dialog box, select one or more of the following options:
Reset Preferences
Returns preferences to their factory defaults. Some labels and ratings may be lost. Adobe Bridge creates a new preferences file when it starts.
Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache
Purging the thumbnail cache can help if Adobe Bridge is not displaying thumbnails properly. Adobe Bridge re-creates the thumbnail cache when it starts.
Reset Standard Workspaces
Returns Adobe predefined workspaces to their factory default configurations.
Click OK, or click Cancel to open Adobe Bridge without resetting preferences.

"Use system settings" for Proxy is automatically enabled when opening Firefox. Why? I want to use "No Proxy".

When I open Firefox, it requires time to load pages. When I go in the networking, I activate "No Proxy" from "Use system settings", and each time I reopen, the System Settings is back, and the page load slow.

Avast detects URL:MAL when opening firefox.No issue with IE or Chrome,after troubleshooting realized problem is NoScript addon.Can it have been infected?

avast -network shield
Infection Details
URL: http://188.24.140.190/
Process: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
Infection: URL:Mal

Hi Tyler,
Thanks for quick reply
Initially after some troubleshooting I noticed that I could make infection pop up disappear:
From Configure how firefox connects to the internet -> changed from "use system proxy settings" to "auto-detect proxy settings" or "no proxy"
With this option modified, the pop up from avast didn't appear any longer when opening Firefox.
However I noticed that both Chrome and IE were set to work on the same "use system proxy settings" and they weren't causing problems...so I assumed the problem still has to be with firefox.
After changing back the option in firefox to "use system proxy" I got again the notice, but saw that when opening firefox in safe mode the issue was gone again.
I tracked it to the no script addon, after removing it, the issue disappear regardless of proxy config settings...when I reinstall it, it appears again.
I am now running in depth virus scans to see were the actual infection is.
It seems to me it is expoiting a vulnerability in this addon, I will try the reset also.

I lost the Google main screen when I upgraded my firefox on one computer, but not on the other one. How do I make google my default desktop when opening Firefox?
