Why are web addresses posting in mostly gray? lots of links provided in emails won't open. I'm using Firefox 11.0 on a brand new i-Mac. Surely there's a setting I'm getting wrong. Thanks.

Same as in title.

Do a backup.
Quit Mail.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

I use Firefox 6.0.2. When I shut the browser and try to reopen it I get a message saying that Firefox is still running and that I should reboot. This happens constantly. Why does this happen and is there a way around it?

There are a few possible causes for that error, for details see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]].

Hi everyone, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have been very very frustrated by this problem. [I could not create new windows, and anything that opens new windows, such as trying to see what Add-ons you have etc would not work]. I read about changing screen alignment to the top... I have one screen so the option does not exist. The above messages would not fix this problem. I searched hard and did find a solution in the end. I read stuff about removing Add-ons until the problem is fixed, but its simply not the case.
First of all open Firefox. next go to options: Help --- 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Tick the box for add-ons, restart firefox. Next go to Tools --- Add-ons. Next (In the Add-ons Manager' click on 'Plugins' on the left hand side pane. Look for the small blue writing that says 'Check to see if your plugins are up to date'.
Now notice it should say 'Missing Flash'. "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version". I followed this, reinstalled Flash and it now works as it always did, no problems. For people where the above fix didn't work, try this one out. Hope it helps people!

Brand new IPad 3 out of the box - set up problem with Apple ID

Brand new iPad 3 out of the box - set up problem. It says my Apple ID (email address) is already being used. I reset the password successfully but still says I need another Apple ID. Why won't the ID recornize me?

Open current iTunes on your computer. Connect iPhone to the computer with the Lightning USB Cable. Hold both the Home and Power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Sevice and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
*[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If that works post back for further advice.
Next step, if safe mode did not work.
First: Try a clean install, (you have had a none standard version installed previously) that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
See
* this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
Second: try a New Profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
* this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
**[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default

Emails won't open - why???

A few months ago my email account was hacked, spewing spam all over the place. So I contacted AT+T and a customer service person changed my security settings and reset my configurations. This caused me to lose everything that had been on the face of my Inbox, which I use as a to-do list. So I called AT+T again, and they said the first service person should not have changed the configurations. Well, great. After eight hours with India I was still left without the mail that had been on the face of my Inbox. And ever since then:
---when I delete emails, they come back from the dead! No kidding, they mysteriously reappear in my Inbox and I have to delete them again.
---my MacBook overheats off and on, fan comes on. I have to shut the whole system down, it's broiling.
Concerned about the overheating, I checked on my Activity Moniter but didn't see anything suspicious. Nevertheless, a google search encouraged me to download Little Snitch, to keep an eye on activities. But ever since then:
---most new emails won't open. They sit totally blank and empty, with the little grey spinning wheel going round. Eventually some open. But I have to wait and wait and wait and wait.
So I got rid of Little Snitch. But I still have the same problems as above.
Thank you for any help!

Change your password if you haven't already. Is is At&t email, At&t through yahoo?
You keep saying inbox and email, but not indicating if it is through macs email application or through a webmail that you access via a browser.
Have you scanned the computer yet using an antivirus? In some rare cases it may need a reformat, but you should start with the password change and the scanning.

What is a mackeeper and why does it keep popping up? I am brand new to mac. carol h.

Hi,
For maintenance.

Check your Applications folder. If you don't want the app, just drag it to the Trash.
IMHO you do not need this utility. Your Mac will do maintenance for you.

[latest macbook pro 15"] there are about 280 GB "other" on my storage, which came from no where. Any idea or suggestion of any fs manager? I am new with Mac OS X.

[latest macbook pro 15"] there are about 280 GB "other" on my storage, which came from no where. Any idea or suggestion of any fs manager? I am new with Mac OS X, and usually using finder to organize my files. I really don't know where these 280GB "other" came from. this laptop is used for my study, so I haven't used it for downloading vedios or musics which could be extremely large. (what about steam online like youtube? is there any temp folder that need to be cleaned manually in os x?)

Hello daz3
The Other items could be items in the OS X folders such as the System folder and caches, personal information such as documents, contacts, calendar data, App Plugins or extensions, Media files that cannot be classified by Spotlight as a media file because they are located inside of a package, file types not recognized by Spotlight. Check out the article for more information.

Why are web browsers not controlled by restrictions?

When you turn off Safari in restrictions it apparently doesn't really matter since most apps have built in web browsers (really, as I understand it they are calling mobile safari) but why doesn't Apple just have that restricted when Safari the "app" is turned off? It makes it silly to even allow Safari to be turned off if it isn't a system wide event. I can't see this as a major problem to remedy since I assume most app developers are calling a specific API, so just have that API restricted so parental controls actually work.
For instance if you turn on restrictions but have Evernote installed (or Twitter, or just about any other app) there is usually a way to get to a web page via the about screens because they include mobile safari. I understand not off loading these things to Safari (well in Twitter's case, Evernote's was a bit sloppy) but again this should be controlled inside restrictions via turning off mobile Safari.
Thanks,

Why are web developer tools not available on Firefox for Android?

I do some freelance web design. I just replaced my laptop with a tablet last year (Samsung Galaxy 10.5 S). I want to do web development on it - I work from a terminal doing Ruby on Rails and web development all the time. It would be awesome to have the F12 developer tools handy in Firefox for Android, but sadly I've waited for a while and there is no indication they will ever appear.
Do NOT suggest using a remote debugger - I'm not testing the layout of pages on my tablet, I want to be able to profile, view source (without an add-on) and such. I have seen this exact question marked closed by suggesting remote debugging, and I fail to see how telling me to use my tablet next to a laptop or desktop is a solution. Telling me to carry a second device means I don't need the tablet at all, when my intention is to ONLY use the tablet.
My tablet has a huge screen resolution and a powerful processor - more powerful than some laptops? Why is Firefox for Android neutered? I would understand disabling it by default to help those with less powerful devices, but why remove something that would add a competitive edge to your product, and is already integrated in desktop Firefox and has been for years? I prefer Firefox, but if Chrome adds web developer tools for Android first, I'll switch to Chrome.
There are people today using a tablet as their sole computing device. Please do not relegate us to a second-class Firefox experience!
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan:
Thanks for the developer tools feature request
This is a user support forum not a developer tools forum therefore I am locking this thread.
Please file your developer tools feature request on the developer tools uservoice at:

In Firefox 23, with private browsing enabled, why are the addresses of websites visited being added to the file places.sqlite?

In Firefox documentation it is claimed that while a user is in private browsing Cached Web Content, Offline Web Content or User Data will be saved. I am using Firefox beta 23. With 'do not track' and 'private browsing' enabled.
An examination of the file places.sqlite stored in my profile shows it is adding to the file the addresses of every website I visit. This information is not cleared when I close Firefox. When I have closed Firefox I have deleted the file but it reappears unchanged at each fresh machine start.
As I regularly update my versions of Firefox and the file is one carried over with each update the entries in places.sqlite also record my browsing history over a long period - all of it is there whether I had private browsing enabled or not.
How is this true private browsing when this file keeps a complete record of browsing history?

Further to: In order to delete the now very large ''places.sqlite'' I exported my Bookmarks to a html file. Then from my profile I deleted the 9 ''bookmark.json'' files in the folder''' bookmarkbackups'''.
With Firefox shutdown I then deleted ''places.sqlite''. Then with Firefox open I imported the html bookmark file.
The new ''places.sqlite'' generated now only contains the links kept in Bookmarks. I do not yet know if this has solved the problem. I will use the Firefox browser for a couple of days without adding any bookmarks and then check the ''places.sqlite'' file again.

Why are web addresses posting in mostly gray? lots of links provided in emails won't open. I'm using Firefox 11.0 on a brand new i-Mac. Surely there's a setting I'm getting wrong. Thanks.
