Whenever I go to open firefox it automatically directs me to google. Ihave downloaded 4.1 and still get nothing but google can anyone explain or help
Just as above Whenever I go to the Mozilla/Firefox from the graphic on my desktop I automatically get directed to Google.
Is this normal or what do I have to do in order to get all the stuff
I see offered on Firefox? I have downloaded the 4.1 version and
still can not get the website of Firefox
Nope---didn't work. I've owned Macs for about 12 years so although I am brain dead on some things, I do have a working knowledge on most things. I only say that to say this--I did try holding down the mouse and choosing empty trash. It asks if I want to permanently delete what's in there. I say yes--and then I get the same identical message again-----'The operation can't be completed because the item "Firefox 8.0.1.dmg" is in use I can then click stop, or continue.' So apparently that complains the same way it does if I click it up on the menu :)))
As for item owned by---that's not an issue and isn't coming up. User is not a problem either as I am the only user on this system. There is only ONE file in my trash at the moment at that is this dmg file. Nothing Mac. Nothing owned by anyone other than Firefox. The problem seems to be that the dmg file and the original 4.0 FF file are working in tandem with each other--even though I have already drug the new 8.0 globe into the Apps folder and it updated the FF app with the new stuff. If I could force the dmg file to go away, I would do so, but at every turn the system is telling me it can't be done because it seems to think that dmg file is in use---even though everything is shut down and/or ejected. Hey--I'm getting ready to head out and won't be back till evening. I'll check back in this evening. Thank you again for your help.

Make sure that you haven't left a profiles.ini file.

I received a message from Webroot about a threat. I clicked remove threat. Now FireFox won't open. Message says "ss13.d11" Maybe (ssl3.dll) is missing from the computer. Try reinstalling the program to the computer. Reinstalled FireFox and I still get the message when I try to open FireFox. How do I reinstall ss13.d11?
Hello sillysewer,
I youve only been re installing the iTunes app itself, then I would recommend uninstalling all of the iTunes associated files as well.
Check out this article named Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925.

I don't know what more I can tell you except that I have to refuse an update in order to use Firefox.
■ Have a look at these two articles that may help
# [[firefox hangs]]
# [[Software update failed]]
Take care if you update by the last resort method mentioned in the linked article, if you delete settings it will remove all bookmarks etc from all versions of firefox -
I get the following message whenever I try to open FireFox
"microsoft (C) Register Server has stopped working"
Hi there.
Out of nothing I get the following message whenever I try to open FireFox :
"'''microsoft (C) Register Server has stopped working'''"
Internet Explorer won't open either, but it doesn't give a pop-up or anything, it just pretends I didn't open it.
The only way I can open a browser now is by running it as 'administrator'
I've taken the following steps, none of which have had any effect
- tried the DEP on trick in windows system
- Fully updated win 7
- Re-installed Firefox
- reboot, reboot, reboot
- searched online for solutions
but..... :(ooh my G#D !!! Norton is Best ! thank all you guys ! ;) im install norton anti virus and my fire fox is workin after scan!!! :))) huuuuurrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I downloaded Firefox 4 a while ago. I followed the instructions and tried to get rid of the Icon on my desktop and the disk. Whenever I try to do so I get a message stating that the disk "Firefox" couldn't be ejected because Firefox is using it and that I have to quit the application and try to eject the disk again. But whenever I try to open Firefox I get the download Icon (the one with the fox and the arrow) and the disk back in my desktop. Can I ever get rid of them?
Did you drag the the Firefox program from the disk image (DMG) to the application folder on your hard drive ?

Question
Recently, whenever I try to open Firefox, I get a dialog box: Exc in ev handl: TypeError: brw is undefined (JavaScript Application). Firefox is definitely my default browser.
After clicking OK Firefox opens.Doesn't work out for me either, so I keep it disabled, because it slows down the searches, and it won't stream its additions onto the pages after the first page of search results. Streaming or page zipping allows me to scroll down to the next page of search results without selecting the page number.

Whenever I try to open Firefox it says cannot establish connection, maybe your firewall is preventing us from accessing the web. Even though I've let Firefox through my firewall, this message still appears. And whenever I try to redownload it, it just says installation failed. It does this with all installations... Is there something wrong with my computer? How do I fix it?
Sometimes you only disable the user interface of security software, but the firewall or anti-virus services are still running in the background.
It is possible that your 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.

Whenever I try to open an app on my Mac it just bounces on my dock and then settles. At first it bounced the disappeared, and then I had to reinstall it, but now it just bounces. Any help?
Try one or more of the following:
> Restart Your Computer
> Uninstall and Reinstall iTunes
> Reset iPod (nothing will get deleted)
> Look in My Computer (Windows 98, XP) OR Computer (Windows Vista or 7) and see if your iPod is in there.
In some cases (and this happened to me before) plug your iPod in and out your computer a few times. It should get it going. If not, then I strongly recommend starting your computer. -
My Instagram app on my iPhone 4s keeps crashing whenever i try to open it. I want to delete it then download it again but it said that doing so would delete all of it's data. Does that mean I'll lose all of my pictures?
I have this excact problem too, Deleting the the app and then reinstalling it won't delete your photos as they are stored on facebooks servers. You will just have to remember you username and password to sign in again. Ever since Facbook bought instagram i have had this problem on my 4S too.

I was having issues with firefox so I upgraded to firefox 4. I am connected to the internet but when I open firefox or even internet explorer it says Unable to connect problem loading page. Nothing will pull up!!!
I don't know if you are still having the issue but if you are have you contacted your ISP? It sounds to me like it's more of a connectivity issue than a browser problem. I've dealt with similar things several times and in both cases it was something with the modem or an ISP setting.
I'm also wondering if it could be a Wi-Fi issue. Can you log in to your router? (It varies by brand but you would go to a site such as http://192.168.10.1. That is for Trendnet. The information for yours should be in the documentation that came with it.)
You should be able to get the router log in page to come up even if you can't connect to any websites. (Provided the network is set up correctly.)
I also would double check your connection settings (if you're connecting over Wi-Fi) or your ethernet connection. (If you're connected directly to the modem and router.)
Hopefully one of these suggestions will be helpful. -
Hi. The only save options for a full html type file on Firefox is as "web page, complete" and as I say when saving with Firefox the program is saving the usual yellow folder with links and artwork files etc, but is saving 2 copies of the HTML file where on of these files is empty, won't open and gets locked to the destination it was saved to. This empty file can't be moved, and can't be deleted. When this is attempted it gives message "cannot delete (or "move" if this is the case) : Cannot read from the source file or disc."
To overcome this I now use Internet Explorer, dut prefer not to. I have also deleted Firefox from my system and re-installed it, but this did not help. How can I stop this doubling of saved files? and how can I delete the ones that are now fixed to my desktop? can you lease help?You said, ''Would like to sort this one out...any clues?''
Maybe something here will help:

I have Windows Vista 64 bit.
I click on the bookmark and the address comes up on the bar, but it doesn't open. When I go to Internet Exlporer the website does work.
In addition, before I downloadedI loved playing Yahoo gin. But the new Firefox does not load it.
I love Firefox, but it looks like I'll have to go back to IE.
I've downloaded Firefox 4 again to see if that helps. It doesn't.
I'd like to go back to the previous Firefox and download that. This 4 is a pain.
Can anyone help?
Thank you!This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

At least twice a day I get a pop up window alerting me to the need to install a security update for Firefox 25.0.1. I have installed it several times and still I am prompted to install it again. I have received no response from Mozilla on this issue. I had sent in an email about this several days ago.
Please note that all technical support is performed through this site. Mozilla will not respond to emails requiring technical support.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' and updating while in safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Firefox Browser freezes when websites have google analytics, anyone else experienced this problem? Know how to fix?
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.smarteoffers.comHello Steven.
There have been similar reports, yes. You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.
