Why does FireFox 4 (that's the Newest Version) keep crashing when i do a Google Search???

I downloaded FireFox 4 on Friday 25 March 2011. It would run ok with my saved Bookmarks and is faster BUT when i do a Google Search, Firefox 4 ALWAYS freezes/crashes. Windows Task Manager displays the message "Not Responding".
Today, I have re-installed FireFox 3.6.16 because of the Freeze/Crash problem that i'm encountering with FireFox 4.

Apparently I have found a workaround:
1) right click on Firefox.exe
2) compatibility tab..check-mark Run this program in compatibility.. and select windows 2000
3) apply
hopefully will work for other people. .......and hopefully it gets fixed

Why does firefox (Ver:3.6.15- Windows XP) keep crashing while in ebay?

Every time I am in e-bay, fire fox crashes. There is almost no exception to this occurrence and certainly no warning.

5 years ago the Firefox installer was different than what is being used now, so Firefox should have been installed to the C:\ drive at some point since then, unless you purposely installed it to a non-default location. Let's see where is is installed.
Right-click the shortcut icon you use to launch Firefox and select Properties.
Then copy the '''Target''' line using {Ctrl + C} on the keyboard, that line should already be highlighted so all you have to do is hit {Ctrl + C} - and Paste it into a Text program, like Notepad using {Ctrl + V}.
Is that file path - '''"C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Firefox\firefox.exe"''' or is it '''"F:\''something or other''\Firefox\firefox.exe"''' - ??

The freehand annotation tool for the newest version keeps crashing. How to fix this?

I use a Samsung tablet. I really need this to function to annotate research papers I read.

We are currently investigating the cause of the crash.
A temporary workaround is to uninstall and reinstall Adobe Reader (instead of updating it to 11.2.0).

Why does Adobe sendnow work and the newest and greatest Adobe Send does not work?

Why does Adobe sendnow work and the newest and greatest Adobe Send does not work? I wasted about 8 hours on trying to get Adobe Send to upload 269 files that amounted to 469MB. When it did not work I made a zip file and after a lot of wasted run time that did not work. The first situation gives little indication of when a file is loaded compared to Adobe SendNow. In both cases with Send it failed with a message like only the first 50 can be loaded. When I went and looked none of them had been loaded. With the zip file (I wanted to hide the individual files so they would not be counted) it appeared to work but very slowly and finally said it was done and I went and looked and it had done anything for oever 2 hours except a false "I'm runninng" indication.
Thus, I took a chance with Adobe SendNow and it works great. It never gave me a limit on the amount of files nor on the size of the complete job. It shows me one file at a time when it has finished with the file uploading it. SendNow has never given me any problems.
Why woiuld you want to change the program from SendNow to Send without the newest program being the best, fastest, user friendly program of the two? It just doesn't make sense to me. I suggest that Adobe keep SendNow working until Send is fixed. I would also suggest that SendNow and how it looks be kept, called Send, then modify Send one thing at a time until you get it to the point you need it to be for Acrobat. I have heard nothing good and now I have experienced it that Send is a piece of junk. I wasted most of my work day on giving Adobe the benefit of the doubt to find out I made a very bad decision to trust Adobe to make good decisions on the transfer of a function to another place .... both Adobe's responsibility.without making it painless for your customers that totally rely on you. Don't throw away customer confidence as it is very hard to get it back.

Funny how you answer to "troll". (What's your handle on AT&T forums?)
Yep! Verizon living up to it's contractual obligations by not releasing updates. Caveat emptor!
I think there are some reasonable expectations here to keep customer's happy. When one carrier offers upgrades there is an expectation the same will happen across all the carriers. We have seen that except Big Red.
Verizon could have said the update is in MS court months ago and stilled the voice of the disgruntled, or at least redirected it, but instead chose to be silent. Not for market share but for partial blame I think.
We will have to agree to disagree since you only see Terms & Conditions and I, see customer satisfaction.

Why does Adobe refuse to provide the latest version of Camera Raw (like my Canon 6d) for CS5?

Why does Adobe refuse to provide the latest version of Camera Raw (like my Canon 6d) that could be supported in Photoshop CS5 or earlier? Its like Adobe saying you want a Camera Raw for you Camera then buy CS6 which is insulting to your customers.

Adobe's policy to to provide free updates (not upgrades) for currently shipping software, which means the current Photoshop CS6 and Camera Raw 7.x. Development on Photoshop CS5.x and Camera Raw 6.x stopped when Photoshop CS6 started shipping. While it may appear on the surface that's it's a ploy to force users to upgrade to the most recent version when getting a new camera, it's really a policy based on the technical issues of trying to provide backwards compatible software for application that are no longer being developed.
Camera Raw is a plug-in for Photoshop and as such, it is dependent on the Photoshop SDK in which it loads...it's also dependent upon the system level APIs being used by the applications. Could Adobe keep upgrading old software? Yes, but it would be a technical nightmare.
Your alternative is simply use the free DNG Converter if you want to use new cameras that weren't in existence when your old software was developed. Pretty simple really and it's not designed as insult to Adobe customers...it's actually an affirmative program to make sure current users are provided support.
The problem of new camera support for old software is really a problem caused primarily by the camera companies spawning off new cameras whose file formats are undocumented and proprietary. If the camera makers adopted a standard file format that could be opened in standard applications (kinda like DNG) then tis problem would be mitigated. You really should place the lion's share of the problem at the feet of the camera companies...

I've just discovered that with the newest version of iTunes you can no longer delete apps you don't want. You used to be able to do so by connecting to to desktop computer and delete them. Tech support said you can't delete apps anymore. Not Good!

I've just discovered that with the newest version of iTunes you can no longer delete iPod Touch/iPhone apps you don't want. You used to be able to do so by going onto iTunes on your desktop computer and deleting them. Not Good! I just called tech support and they said that in this version there is no way to delete them. They also said there have been numerous complaints about this. You can't even delete them from your applications folder. It's as though you're being held hostage to apps you tried, but do not want.
While we're on the subject, I don't like the fact the the iPod touch comes with unistalable apps such as: Passbook, Nike & iPod, Newsstand, and Game Center. Don't want them, will never use them. Give customers the option to delete apps that we don't want. Call Apple's corporate customer care. escalation, and complain untill they fix this.

Why does itunes say i have the latest version 4.2.1 (8c148) for my 3rd gen iPod touch when it should be iOS 5?

why does itunes say i have the latest version 4.2.1 (8c148) for my 3rd gen iPod touch when it should be iOS 5?

Be sure it is really a 3rd gen. Some people with 2nd gens were told they were 3rd gens. Identifying iPod models or Look up specs by Serial Number. If it is a 2nd gen, then you can't upgrade.
IF IT REALLY IS A THIRD GEN iPod Touch, then you first need to upgrade to iTunes 10.5 in order to download iOS 5 because older versions of iTunes don't support and can't sync with iOS 5.

Why does firefox 4 incorrectly validate the url input?

Why does Firefox 4, HTML5 validation for URL input elements require the http:// prefix?
Is there a way around it?

The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4.
Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
* Right click on the Back or Forward button
* Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
You can look at this extension:

Did you set your homepage '''in Firefox'''?
[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page]

We are running System OS 10.4.11 and we would like to install Firefox. I know the newest version requires 10.5 and above. Is there a way around this without updating our system?

Can you help? If you have any questions, call Jill at 616-247-1301. The newest version of firefox will not work with our system.

Hi enterpriseenvelope,
Firefox 4 and above requires Mac OS X 10.5 or greater and will '''only run on an Intel Mac'''. Mac OS X 10.4 users, and 10.5 users with a '''PPC Mac''', can run the latest 3.6 series available [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older here].
You could also try [http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ TenFourMac], which is a fork of Firefox and is based on Mozilla 2.0 and Firefox 4 code.
Hopefully this helps!

I haven't been on iTunes in awhile i downloaded the newest version and now when i sync i try to sync my iPhones library to iTunes Library and says i will lose all music on iPhones library

I havent been on iTunes and synced up on my laptop for a couple months so i get hooked up on wifi and download the newest version of iTunes and sync up to it and none of my songs are in the comp library.everytime i try to sync my iphones library to the itunes library it says i will lose all songs on iphone.so i'm trying to figure out what i need to do to get the library from my iphone to my itunes library on my laptop!!

Plug in your iPad and hit sync. It should transfer your purchases. Or go under the purchased option in iTunes store and download your purchases. Connecting the iPad is easier.

Why does Adobe Reader 11.2.1 for Android keep crashing?

I am using a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet and have successfully been reading, highlighting and annotating my pdf course books for 6 months but the latest update keeps crashing. I have precious study time on my journey to work and have now lost over a week so am very unhappy. What is wrong with it? I have reinstalled about 4 times and no joy. it will display the bookmarked page but no others. I tried giving it time but it renders a max of 6 pages. I have redownloaded the book but same problem, and obviously that doesn't help as my notes are In the previous file. Suggestions, or preferably a fix, urgently needed as I am now behind in my study with an exam looming!!

Hello,
I will answer each of your points in order:
No, the issue is not related to Kitkat as I am not on that level of Android.
The path to my document is /storage/sdcard0/SD329/ebook_sd329_book3_e1i1_n9781780073378_l3.pdf.
No, this is happening with other pdfs. I have tried just one chapter and also a fresh download of the same book (it was downloaded from my university website). The smaller file is more successful, I could highlight and annotate the file, but when moving through the book by more than a page at a time, ie. Using the scroll bar, the pages then fail to display and are blank. This is more prominent on the larger file, the whole book. It's as though I am reading the document on a website and the whole book is being downloaded each time I move through.
It crashes when I move round the document. I would read one page then move to ther next which is blank, I could go back to the page I had just read and that's now blank.
I use the highlighting tool, underline and free text pen. They would be selected from the menu at the top of the screen.
Reader crashes when moving through the document. It is as though the whole documenf is downloaded each time a page is displayed which I would not expect to happen as the document is stored on my tablet. The display of the next page is often slower than the time it takes me to read the a page.
I can't email the file as it is too large. I found this out when I tried to send it to my university computer helpdesk.
Asmi mentioned previously I have successfully read and annotated this file over the previous 6 weeks with none of these issues. I was able to moce freely through the document, both by single pages and by the scroll bar or go to and had no delay I displaying the pages. The only change has been the upgrade.
Thanks

Why does Firefox say that the 6.0 update is the latest version?

I was prompted to update to Firefox 7.0 It also said my Norton Identity safe and toolbar would not work with this version. I ran live updates several times and restarted my computer. Now when I go to the trouble section, it says I am at risk not having the latest version. When I try to update, it says 6.0 is the latest version and I am protected. This product is not worth this much work and aggravation. Why has Firefox become such a pain in the butt?
