While browsing a web site, firefox told me it detected a virus, scaned, displayed infected files and asked to down load a file. Is this a legitimate file or some scam?

I want to know if the virus detection and file are legitimate Firefox software or some scam. I did not continue with the process. My own virus detection only found one infection where as the other found several. I have a copy of the screen if needed.
Thanks
Doug

It's a scam, Firefox does not scan for viruses. The site will be trying to get you to install some form of malware/virus/trojan. The scan was not a real scan.

When I try to access a web site Firefox displays "unable to connect"

I access Firefox and select a web site
Firefox displays unable to connect, the "try again" button does not help
this just started after I did a system restore

Disabling Add-ons worked. Firefox can access the web again. Thank you for your support. AM

Odds are only someone that develops apps for iOS would have access to whatever this is and, even then, this information may still not be available.
I would do a backup of your phone & then erase it and restore from the backup to see if the odd behavior goes away. If so, something went funny with your update the first time around. If not, there's something in your backup that's making the phone throw a fit.
I resolved my battery issues (more or less) by disabling the "set date/time automatically" setting. I haven't re-enabled it yet but my battery life has been much better with it off.

For the past few weeks when I place a bid on ebay, Firefox crashes. The bid goes through but I have to restart Firefox each time. I have sent a report each time and asked to be notified and as of yet I have not got a solution to this problem.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

As being a novice with my Mac Pro computer and Cannon 5D mark 3 camera my issue has arisen while over the last year and half, when down loading into my Photoshop Lightroom 4, my 18,000 photograph were not catalogued correctly, or hardly at all, so now over several months time my photos have apparently been redirected in my libraries and have begun not appearing in their allotted frames next to their number in the library they are in. they also have a small question mark (?) next to the photo space. The frames are blank but indicates that there is a photo there. The majority of photos are blank but about a tenth are seen . i apparently need to retrace where they went but do not know how to get that done . can someone help please?

It would be difficult to tell you where to begin. If you moved photos around to different folders and didn't use Lightroom to move them, that would cause Lightroom to lose track of where they are. You have to remember that your images are not "in" Lightroom. Lightroom simply points to them wherever they are on your computer. All of the location information as well as the changes that you make to your images is stored in the catalog, which is a database. This catalog is central to the operation of Lightroom, and it's essential that you understand how it works and how to make it work for you. For all of those images that have "?" On them, or the folders that have the same, you will have to go through the process of locating them and showing Lightroom where they are located. With 18,000 images, and many of them missing, it might just be easier to start a new catalog and organize things properly from the beginning in that catalog.

While attempting to check out, ERROR states "Account registered for different country. Please sign out and sign in using an existing account for this country."

While attempting to check out, ERROR states "Account registered for different country. Please sign out and sign in using an existing account for this country." I started my account in India. Then changed it to the US when I moved here, then tried to change it back to india when this issue arose, however, the error still occurs. How can I fix this??

I think a new account may be the easiest way if you don't have an existing subscription or cloud files for which to keep continuity.

Hi, when ı visit some web sites , firefox is lock and not work anything, how can ı solve this problem?

I use firefox v 18.0.2

Firefox authomatically migrates to an un solicited web site. I have spyware doctor it does not stop it from migrating. What do I do to stop this?

A few minutes after log in to my desired web page, Firefox automatically loads an un requested site, initially it was infomercials about work at home or other unsolicited product pitches. I had some virus problems, so a few weeks ago I bought anti Spyware Doctor, an virus, anti spy-ware software which run constantly.
Initially I only had problems with Windows Explorer, recently this re-direction of my web page is a constant occurrence, some times to disgusting pictures.
What do you suggest? Thanks.

Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes]
* [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]
* [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Ad-Aware]
* [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx Windows Defender]
* [http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html Spybot S&D]
If the above malware scanners do not find any malware or can not clear it, you should consider posting in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help:

Listening to Internet Radio while Browsing the web

Is it possible to listen to Pandora Radio (Internet radio) and browse the web at the same time with my MacBook Pro? I used to be able to do this with my Dell Laptop computer. If so, how do you do this? Thanks.

Open another tab in your browser. Works here using Firefox.
If it doesn't work in Safari, you know what to download.

ITunes skipping during audio while browsing the web - Quicktime issue?

iTunes 11.1.2 for Win 7 is skipping during playback of audio when I am browsing the web. Is this a Quicktime issue? I tried changing the audio output device latency but it didn't do anything different as far as skipping goes. Any suggestions?

Actually, that doesn't work either. Here's the solution that is working consistently:
Go to iTunes, and Preferences > Playback tab > Play Audio Using > Windows Audio Session instead of Direct Sound. There we go, that works!!

Internal 500 error while accessing TFS web site

Hi all,
I have installed & configured Team Foundation Server 2013 & SharePoint Foundation 2013 in my environment. I am facing an issue
whenever I try to open the TFS site like "https://nc1vwstfs.ranchi.com/tfs". I am getting "HTTP 500 Internal Server error". the same site can be accessed from another system without any error. In order to look for details error message
I turned off the IE settings "Show friendly error message" from internet options, advanced option. After that I got the below error which stated the actual reason.
The same site is accessible from another system without any error. But I am getting the error from the same system in which I have installed the TFS server itself. Its a little bit strange to me. I am clueless.
Could you please help me in resolving this issue. Any pointer to this would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for reply.
I am using separate servers for Application Tier & Data Tier. I am able to access the tfs web site from visual studio too.
The issue in my case was with the service account password which was not updated in one of the application tier nodes. In my environment I have two application tier nodes tfs1 & tfs2 and both are configured as NLB (network load balanced) they both are
using the same Data Tier. The purpose of creating NLB is to distribute the load between app tiers. I had updated the service account password of tfs in one node but did not update the password in another node, causing the tfs web site to fail to launch
sometime. When I updated the service account credentials in both the app tiers then the above issue got resolved. Now the tfs web site is opening without this error.
Thanks.

Not able to activate "email us" tab on a web site that previously did work, hosting co says it is not them, and safari works fine-- help!

Mac mini, will not open FF when i select "e mail us" on a web site tab.
This site has always worked before I updated to latest FFversion.
The hosting co checked the links and they are all ok. The email us function is performing with Safari.
I repaired permissions on the mac, but no help with this problem.

OK, I realize now that I need to upload to the web site the version of the PDF with the word "_distributed" appended to the file name, not the original PDF file. When I do that, it now gives info at the top about how to submit the form.
So my only question, I think, is what kind of submit button to place on the form itself.
I see there is another kind of button I can place on the page, just a plain "Button". Within its Object Palette, I see a setting called "Control Type", with choices of "Regular", "Execute", and "Submit".
If I choose "Submit", it asks "Submit to URL...", so that isn't what I want. "Execute" also asks for some info that I don't have. So do I just choose "Regular" for this button? If a user clicks that, does the data get submitted to adobe.com and the responses file?

I am getting an invalid certificate notice when going to one web site only, that formerly was not a problem. Happens with Safari and Google Chrome. Any ideas?

I am getting an invalid certificate notice when going to only one web site, that previously was OK. Happens with both Safari and Google Chrome. Would emptying the system cache fix the problem?

Well, it seems weird & it has no email listed, you might try contacting them to see...

When adding a web site I want keychain access to manage, it truncates the URL I paste in. Is there a fix for this?

when adding a web site, userid, and password via keychain access
the 'where' field which is where you put the URL, is getting truncated after being pasted
any fix available?

You can try to use "Forget About This Site" in the History (right-click context menu in Library or sidebar) to remove all data from a website including possible exceptions.
