Why does it keep telling me to restart in 32 bit mode?

A yellow button appears with a notification along to top of the window below the different link tabs. It tells me it would be better in 32 bit mode. I click the button and firefox restarts.

I found the fix here -->

Basically, you go into "Get Info" for the Firefox icon and check off "open in 32 bit mode"

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

  • Why does iCal keep telling me calendar can't be found?

    Why does iCal keep telling me calendar can't be found? I have my ical calendar synced with my android 2.3.6. They appear to be communicating and then the next time I check they aren't. I just randomly keep getting the error. I would like to sync my Google calendar, iCal and Android 2.3.6 calendar. Thanks for any suggestions!

    It is kind of hard to reconstruct what you did exactly and it may be that things have gotten pretty messed up -- it's easy to do that with OSX.  For starters, try running Disk Utility.  First, verify your hard drive with the repair feature (there are probably four buttons that do 4 different things).  If verify checks out okay, repair permissions.  Depending upon which ones are messed it it may cure some of them but not all.

  • Why does google keep telling me my password is wrong? I only have one and it works for everything else

    Why does google keep telling me my password is wrong
    It works fine on my I pad but my i phone does not show e mails or messages
    And the message keeps on saying the password is wrong
    I only have one password and I know what that is
    But google does not seem to recognize it
    Maybe I should change my e mail provider
    My I phone is useless if I cannot pickup messages and e mails

    May be a problem with Google's 2 step verification, see if this helps you:

  • Why does AVG keep telling me Mozilla is using too much memory?

    Why does AVG keep telling me that Mozilla is using too much memory and I have to close and reopen the program?

    the Advisor is just telling you the same thing you can see for yourself in the Task Manager; I can open firefox with only a few tabs and then watch the memory usage skyrocket when Firefox should be doing nothing - after a couple of hours it will get up to as high as 1.5GB before it completely hangs and I have to end the process in Task Manager, and this does this with all extensions disabled and in Safemode.

    why does safari keep telling me i am missing a pdf plugin

    boyd4,
    perhaps it keeps telling you that because a PDF plug-in for Safari is missing?
    Do you have Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader installed? If so, which one, and which version?

It keeps telling me i need to "insert Photoshop Elements10" to continue.....but the software package disk is already in the disk drive. I have a macbook pro retina that runs on Yosemite....anyone know how to solve this?
    thanks

    did you download the installation files?

    if no, copy your cd contents to a desktop folder and attempt to install from the desktop folder.

  • Why do I get an error message in safari 5.1 telling me to restart in 32 bit mode in order to "view the movie" when I first start safari on opening page?

    why do I get an error message when I start safari 5.1 telling me I need to open browser in 32 bit mode in order to "view movie" ? This occurs when I start safari on the opening page (the page with all the boxes for most viewed web sites). This had never occurred with safari up until the latest updates to safari & OSX [Version 5.1 (6534.50)] and OSX 10.6.8.
    also, I'm not trying to view a movie - this occurs for the page previews that load when safari opens.
    thanks.

  • Why does my Epson V100 scanner make restart necessary from sleep mode

    great scanner, satisfactory compatabilty with my G4 Mac-mini, but it seems I must switch the V100 off if I wish to put the Mini to sleep. I usually leave the V100 on at this time.... but when I wake the the Mini, the window telling me to restart it comes up. No way around this, I suppose ?
    NB the only way to switch the V100 off is by pulling its psu from the mains socket.

    Many third party USB devices are not familiar with
    the low power mode of Apple's Energy Saver.
    Assuming it is the only device connected other than
    an Apple keyboard and mouse, I'd report the matter
    to Epson and ask them to make a firmware or driver
    update to fix the issue.
    I shall take the matter up with Epson UK forthwith and post their reply in this forum as and when received.

  • Why does Firefox keep telling me that it is using too much memory, (eg: 235MB) and I should restart Firefox?

    Lately Firefox has been popping up a warning while I am on the internet saying, that "Firefox" is using too much memory. It suggests shutting down Firefox and restarting Firefox. It also told me how much memory that is in use at that time. It is usually about 235MB or more. What is normal memory use for Firefox to use while I am on the internet? Does high usage mean that some other person is trying to get into my computer?

    You appear to have AVG installed:
    *See --> http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=173969#post_173969
    From reading on the internet, it appears that when there is a spike in memory usage, AVG "interprets" that as a memory leak, possibly caused by malware. AVG could be incorrect concerning that assumption. Maybe they are being a bit too conservative about memory usage; just my opinion.
    The decision is yours to turn off the "advisor" or leave it on.

  • Why does it keep telling me I have too many tabs open even if I only have one or 2?

    When I am online, several times a day it will not open a new tab and pop up a screen that tells me I have too many tabs open and gives me the option to let it close them or I can close them. But I may only have 1 tab open, sometimes more than that but it doesn't seem to matter how many. I can shut down my computer and bring it back up and it will work ok for a little while and then all of a sudden when I go to open a new tab it does it all over again. I am using mozilla and vista.

  • If I deleted Firefox by accident why won't it let me re-download? Why does it keep telling me to close Firefox before I can download when it isn't open?

    I went to delete websearch function and deleted firefox by accident. I could not bring firefox back up so I deleted the program to try to just reload and now it won't allow me to download it again. It keep's saying that Firefox is still running and that I have to close it and it is not open.

    Internet Explorer, or firefox both will offer to make themselves the default browser, and there may be some actions that are not possible or very dificult in firefox. I do not recall Windows itself preventing me from using firefox, other than because of firewall action.
    Possibly now security settings or software is blocking firefox downloads on your machine. When you do download firefox you may then discover it is blocked from running the installer, until you revise security settings.
