Why does Firefox 4.0 keep asking me for some "32-bit plugin" item that requires restarting the browser, and then I keep getting the SAME MESSAGE (this only shows up when I am in my Yahoo e-mail!)?

This only happens when I am typing an outgoing e-mail on my Yahoo account!

Please do the following.
Click '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''. The option to update should appear and version 3.6.17 should download and install.
However, sometimes things go pear-shaped and you get version 3.5.19. If that happens, repeat the same steps to update to 3.6.17.
Once you have 3.6.17 installed, you'll get the opportunity to update to the current version which is 4.0.1 ''Please don't do that for the moment because you first of all have to update your plugins''. To do the latter, please do the following.
Go to http://www.java.com/en/ and install the latest version of Java.
Update Adobe Shockwave for Director via http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
Update Adobe Flash via http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

  • I cannot log onto sites that require my log in and password. I get no error message, fire fox just goes back to the same empty log in screen. this problem is not limited to one site. I reloaded firefox with same results.

    When i type in my log in and password and enter, the site either returns to the blank screens or does nothing. This is not limited to one or two sites. all of my financial institutions, electric company, insurance companies, even trying to register here so that i could ask this questions. In this situation, when i hit the register button, nothing happend, its as iff the button is inactive. i had to go to IE to register and post this question. I just tried to enter my new log in and pw on the screen in fire fox and nothing happens. Some sites behave differently when i hit the submit or log in button. the information seems to be transmitted but the screen comes right back to the original log in screen with blank fields. there are no error instructions that something does not match or is missing. then i go to IE and it works.
    This started a few weeks ago. I cant identify anything that was added around that time but i tried a system restore and that did nothing. i deleted fire fox and downloaded the latest version 3.6.13 and it is still happening

    The full message sasy "The calendar https:// cal.me.com:8443/principas/users/(server number) was not found on the server.  Make sure the URL is correct.

    10.6.8 cannot access iCloud's facilities - you can set Mail up manually and there is a hack which some people have used to sync calendars (see below) - you cannot sync any other type of data.
    This is the situation with iCloud and Snow Leopard:
    Your email, calendars, and 'Find my iPhone' will be migrated to iCloud. Contacts and Bookmarks cannot be migrated from a Snow Leopard Mac.
    Your iDisk, together with website hosting and Gallery, will continue to work as before until next June.
    Syncing of Dashboard Widgets, Dock Items and Keychains between Macs, and Mail Accounts, Mail Rules, System Preferences, Signatures & Smart Mailboxes between Macs & iOS devices, will cease altogether.
    You will be able to access email and calendars on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
    You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
    You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email.
    You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
    Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point.  BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion.
    There appears to be no method of syncing contacts (though Address Book on a Mac can be synced with Google or Yahoo address books - I don't know how reliable this is).

  • Ok. So my iTunes started acting up a few months ago. ALL of the songs I purchased from the iTunes store stop in the middle of the song and then go back to the begining (I keep it on repeat one song by the way). Please help!!! (Windows 7)

    Ok. So my iTunes started acting up a few months ago. ALL of the songs I purchased from the iTunes store stop in the middle of the song and then go back to the begining (I keep it on repeat one song by the way). Please help!!! (Windows 7) I would really like to hear my songs all the way through, but I can't . I tried the "Convert Protected ACC files to Purchased ACC files fix" but it DIDN'T work. I don't know what to do. It does it when I transfer the music onto my Classic too.

    What do you mean "doesn't recognize"?

    You can't get it reset; if you could there would be no point in having it. If you have an encrypted backup there are two ways this could have happened:
    You checked "Encrypt Backup" in iTunes at some time in the past, either intentionally or by accident
    You have a corporate MS Exchange account and your Exchange administrator installed a security profile on your phone that requires the phone'a contents to be encrypted. This, in turn, requires the backup to be encrypted for obvious reasons.
    In either case you were prompted for a password the first time you backed up after whichever of these happened. So think about what you might have entered for a password at that time. Fortunately you get an unlimited number of tries. Other threads on this subject have shown that it is always a password known to the user, so it wasn't something made up by iTunes. Also, everyone who has figured it out has found it to be a different password type, so try your Apple ID password, your computer's login password, your WiFi password, your corporate domain password, etc. And try passwords that may have been changed since your first backup. As a last resort there is a professional password cracker available, but it isn't cheap - it's targeted at the law enforcement market - from Elcomsoft. There are also some scam password crackers available that don't actually work and possibly steal your information. It's likely that a developer of one or more of these will post a response with a link (possibly hidden) to their "product". So before clicking any links you might want to install the Web of Trust plugin that keeps track of scam sites and warns you. http://www.mywot.com.

  • I have customized my Firefox toolbar. After closing the browser and then reopening it, the toolbar has returned to the way it was before I customized it. How do I get my customization of the toolbar to become permanent?

    I have customized my Firefox toolbar several times. After closing the browser and then reopening it, the toolbar has returned to the way it was before I customized it each time. How do I get my customization of the toolbar to become permanent?
    It has occurred with Firefox 4.0.1 and 5.0

    see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
    Take a picture of your toolbars so you can easily reconstruct them from the default after solving the the problem.
    If it happens to you it will probably happen again in the future so you might want to keep some copies of your modified localstore.rdf file so you can delete the bad one and rename one of the replacements in waiting. Saving, copying and renaming must be done with Firefox down, of course.

    thank you, I have the adaptors so glad that would work.  I just heard adaptors burn out often.  So Just thought for my main iMac computer, a plug would be best.  I will get one once I move.
    Any other suggestions or things I should know about apple products in Ireland.  I know there are no Apple stores there.
    An adaptor doesn't burn out. It merely serves as a means to connect the power prongs on your device to the power supply.
    I believe you are thinking of a transformer, which you do not need. A transformer converts one voltage to another.
    You don't need to do that as the power supply of modern electronics can take almost any worldwide voltage.
    Look at the label on the device. It should indicate the input power acceptable of 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
    Additionally, I found the adapters cheaper in the UK than I found them in the US. They were available in most supermarket chains. I wasn't in Ireland, so I can't say one way or the other.
    If you have something that doesn't have that input power spec, it would require a transformer.
    On other items like electric clocks or things with motors, you can connect them up to a transformer and the voltage will be correct, but the frequency may not. For clocks, that will cause them to not keep time well. For motors, they will burn out.

    Acrobat on OSX does not use printer preset. Every single time I have to print I have to click printer and then print to load the preset and then click print again from the main dialog. I am printing to a Xerox that has the copier code in the preset so if I don't do this it will not print. This has been broken for in every version I have tried. This extra clicks are taking years off my life. Did I remember to do the extra clicks? I don't know, I guess I will run down the hall and check. Please fix this.

    What operating system are you running? I assume they had you install the latest BIOS. True? If it were mine, I would suggest forcing it to use integrated graphics (in the BIOS) to rule out a problem with the NVidia driver.

  • I clear the browsing and download history already, but the history still auto-appear in the location bar when I type the site url. Why?

    I use
    tools -> clear recent history -> browsing & download history (everything)
    However, all the news or urls I visit couple months ago always auto-appeared when I type the url in the location bar.
    I've observed this situation since Firefox 4 or 5, so I am googling how to really delete all my browsing history.
    Also, it is weired and angry, firefox keep to remember the wrong id/password of web server authentication data, since I edit my id/password. Firefox always show me the wrong id/password, even I delete everything and every categories in the "Clear All History". It looks the clear history feature doesn't function as it indicated.

    Here is how you do it:
    Firefox > History > Clear Recent History
    (Or Tools > Clear Recent History)
    Then in the opened window hit the button beside details and then check all of the available things in there.
    Also pay attention that everything is selected in the list of the upper side.
    If this helped you, please hit 'Solved it' Button so the topic would be closed.

    Required password for itunes keeps pop up on my kid's ipad constantly nonstop. So i put in password and then it keeps appear the confirm purchased pop up. I clicked on cancel a thousand times but it keeps popup right after i clicked cancel. Tried so hard to deleted the game and sign out the itune because the popup appeared right the way, but nothing works, i also tried to reset the ipad 5 times but the itune sign in requied keep pop up that i can't do anything else, after sign in, the in-app purchased confirm pop up again over and over and over right after i clicked canceled and the game is already deleted from my ipad. I have had too much problems since i updated an ipad, i have to reset an ipad many times every time i download an app. Help please.

    I am having similar problems with iPad 3 freezing.  It was fine before upgrade to IOS 8.  Ready to throw it out!!  No one has any answers other than the norm.  Quite often have to hold power and home key down, which doesn't solve the problem.  It just unfreezes the situation you are in.  Wish this would be solved with the IOS 8!!  Should have never upgraded, but never had a problem with Apple software before.  Getting to feel like I am back with Windows.

  • Why does Firefox switch focus to an immediately adjacent tab (in a series of tabs) on middle-clicking a link instead of staying on the same tab? (with setting of NOT switching to new tab).

    I have usually 4 tabs open by default. If, for example, I'm in the first tab and middle-click a link to open a new tab, the tab opens but firefox focuses on the tab immediately adjacent to the tab I'm on (in this case, from tab 1 to tab 2 instead of staying on tab 1 whilst tab 5 is loading). The pattern repeats if I'm on tab x and open a new tab from tab x, but focus shifts to tab (x+1) instead of staying on tab x.
    It happens more often than not, i.e. it sometimes stops but usually happens.
    I have this setup for a year now and this is the first time this is happening. I believe since this latest update of 3.6.13.

    This issue can be caused by an extension or plugin that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Why does firefox leak memory up to 2Gb on windows7 64-bits on my Alienware computer but not on my 2 other Inspiron 6400 and 1750?

    right now i have only 5 tabs open with information about firefox help firefox memory leak and so on just to try to see if i can find anything about why i have this memory leak and the memory leak is already up 1.3 Gb.

    i have the same problem, please do something about it! I have 2gb RAM and after a few hours ff uses 80% of my RAM and additionally 1.5gb of virtual memory. This slows down ff, because of copying data from virtual memory to ram.
    I know this is because of caching websites in RAM but it really slows down ff, here is my solution:
    1. A user is able to specify maximum RAM to be used by ff
    2. Website caches are sorted by last access datetime - now if firefox reaches the max RAM - it removes the oldest website from RAM.
    Simple and effective. Damn it.
