Why does my Mozilla Support password suddenly fail to work?

I tried to sign in to Mozilla Support to ask a question about Thunderbird that I could find no answer to elsewhere. I was denied. I verified my user name and password from the list I carefully keep on a flash drive and tried again. No go. Then I asked for password reset help, not knowing what else to do.
The e-mail came, but rather than containing password reset instructions, it thanked me for "joining Mozilla Support!" and said that "to complete your registration, you need to verify your e-mail address." Bear in mind that I was not trying to complete any registration but only to log in to an existing account. Nevertheless, I clicked the link and was taken to a verification page. That did not work.
At last, in need of getting on with it without further delay, I simply registered for a new account using a different user name. Fortunately, the system seemed not to be concerned that it used the same e-mail address as before.
So, the specific questions are: (1) Why did this happen, and (2) what does one do to prevent such a thing from occurring again? If it is a matter of signing in at some interval so that the system does not interpret lack of using Support as evidence that the account holder has been kidnapped and carried off by the Klingons, I would appreciate knowing this and what the maximum interval is before doom strikes.
Thank you.

I begin to understand. Nevertheless, "Mozilla Support" would be understood by an average person with average capacity to include the support of anything Mozilla produces, or so it would seem.

  • Mozilla support password reset fails

    I had old account RichardBollinger with email <!-- [email protected] --> <e-mail removed>. My old password did not meet your new restrictions. Also, I could not use it to log in. Multiple password resets also failed. I would get the link and click on it. Then change my password. Then try to use in to login. No dice. Please delete that account as it has become corrupted. I will continue with this one. Please fix this problem before I run out of email addresses.

    Hi Rick,
    I just emailed you some information at that email address. Hope that helps!

  • Why does iCal sync via dotMac suddenly fail with Tiger

    I've read about the Leopard and Tiger-to-Leopard syncing issues with iCal, but I have an issue that is just with Tiger (10.4.11). I have two machines running the same version of MacOS (one Intel, one PowerPC) in different countries, and a live dotMac subscription. I have a small collection of calendars which are set to auto-publish after each change. This system has worked fine for a long time, and it enables me to use the same calendar in both my main locations.
    Last Saturday, 8th March, I shut down one of these machines (in France) and moved to the other one (in England). I then tried to sync the English machine, and it did do an update of my calendars, but it turned out (from the dotMac 'advanced' pane in System Preferences) that dotMac sees the last sync for the French machine as being on 13 February, whereas it was in use every day up to 8 March. Something must have turned off the auto-publish feature on my French machine - but what could that be? I see that the dotMac Sync engine (whatever that is) was last updated on 9 March - this is probably when I first tried to sync the English machine.
    Can anyone suggest what went wrong? I have not consciously changed any parameters for iCal or dotMac for a long time.

    Hi - I am the original poster on this topic. I have now moved my UK machine to France, and it's sitting in the same room as my other Mac. As before, I have a small set of calendars (only one is relevant) and I am running the same version of iCal on each machine sync'd via dotMac. Let's call the machines A and B,
    A few hours ago, I added an event on machine A. I then used the Sync feature of dotMac (accessed via System Preferences) to make sure that this machine was sync'd with dotMac. The date and time of this was confirmed by the 'advanced' info in the System Prefs DotMac screen. I then used the "show Calendar on dotMac" feature for the relevant calendar, and I saw my new event available there.
    I then went to machine B and went through the same Sync sequence, but my new event didn't show up. That was some hours ago and it still isn't present. If I do "show Calendar on dotMac" on machine B, I see machine B's version of the calendar, the one without the new event!
    The URL for the B version of the calendar is
    http://ical.mac.com/WebObjects/iCal.woa/wa/default?d=25&u=livfoss&v=0&y=2008&m=4 &n=Raissac.ics
    and for A it's
    http://ical.mac.com/WebObjects/iCal.woa/wa/default?u=livfoss&n=Raissac.ics
    Clearly there are differences, but I have no idea what they mean.
    What do I have to do to get the most up-to-date version of my calendar show up in iCal on machine B? I am completely stumped.

  • Why does cellular not support phone features?

    iPad Mini with Retina display has a celluar capability. Why does it not support full phones features, doubling as an iPad and phone like the iPhone 5S does?

    And I don't mean to seem rude. I have worked in product development many years with a very large company. I have also challenged engineers and developers to look beyond the basics to deliver something that sets the trend adn differentiates itself from the pack.
    Apple as that trend-setter created awesome products in the form of the iPad Air and the iPad Mini w/ RD. It is extraordinary in the leading technologies they incuded in the  package. It would have been BRILLIANT though, to have converged both as an IPad and a phone. It would have propelled the iPad light years ahead of the competition.

  • Why does Adobe Elements 4.0 suddenly crash about the time Apple has a security update?

    Why does Adobe Elements 4.0 suddenly start crashing about the time Apple has a security update?

    An ADOBE FORUM "Community Professional" commented:
    "Well, I'm not sure any of this is going to work, but go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
    com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
    The PSE 4 Paths and Settings folders (can't remember whether they're called Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 Paths or something different, but you want folders with Paths and Elements 4 in their names--you should be able to figure out which they are)
    Opera preferences (if you have it)
    Repair permissions and try again.
    If it still quits, go to the PSE 4 folder in applications and delete the Adobe TWAIN driver from the plug-ins folder (note that you may have trouble with Epson scanners in PSE after doing this).
    However, PSE 4 is pretty darned old and it's less compatible with every new OS X update, so what I've suggested may work and may not. FWIW, you probably will not be able to reinstall the program if you ever need to do so--installed versions of PSE 4 keep working in 10.6, but the installer does not."
    Hope this helps

  • Why does Canon NOT support the Canon Utilities software?

    The Canon Map Utility software can not detect my Canon GPS Receiver GP-E2.  Over the phone, Canon "Customer Support" had me uninstall all 10 Canon Utilities that I had previously installed, and then let me install only 8 older versions of Canon Utilities.  And, the Canon Map Utility software STILL could not detect my Canon GP-E2. 
    Why doesn't Canon have ANYONE who knows the Canon Utility software?  The first support rep had NEVER used any of the software!  And the second support rep, whom I was transfered to by a Supervisor who told me that this was the most experienced support person for the software, has only used the software ONCE!
    Why does Canon NOT SUPPORT Canon software?????
    As an old friend used to always say,
    "Keep Looking Up!"
    Calen

    When I use the GPS-E2 on my camera, the pictures have are geotagged.  It's when I try to use the GPS log that Map Utility has a problem.  I like the idea of recording where I went, not just where each picture was taken.  That way, I can see where I found nothing to take pictures of.

    Why does connecting to S/W download fails whether from the computer or iPad?

    Where are you trying to download? My App Store app is working just fine.
    First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Why does Adobe not support tablets or Kindle Fire

    Why does Adobe not support tablets or Kindle fire?

    You have it backwards.
    Tablets (Kindle, Galaxy, iPad) don't support Flash.
    Chronologically:
    2008 (March) - Apple® releases the first iPhone, using iOS®. Steve Jobs is insistent and adamant that iOS® is NOT compatible with Flash® and NEVER WILL BE. Jobs' reasoning is that playing Flash® content is processor consumptive and it drains batteries, thus shortening the life of them in mobile devices. In six years, that hasn't changed. Not for the iPhone®, iPad® or iPod® Touch™. It never will change and there never will be a Flash Player® for iOS®.
    2008 (September) - Google® introduces Android™ to compete with iOS®, for people who don't want to pay what Apple® is asking for an iPhone®. Android®, unlike its Apple® counterpart IS compatible with Flash®.
    2012 (June) - Android™ (Google®) announces the end of support for Flash® with Android™ 4.3. Going forward NO Android™ devices will be compatible with Flash®, but older versions on older devices can still be loaded with "legacy" builds still available from Adobe®. Android™ (Google®) cites the same reason Apple® did for the decision to end support of Flash®. Adobe® continues to release security patches to Flash Player® for Android™ until September 2013, announcing the "end of life" for Android™ Flash® September 10.

  • Why does Mail not support read receipts?

    I find it hard to believe that there is a single email application that doesn't support read receipts. For me it is a fairly basic feature I would expect any decent Mail application to have.
    I am currently in the process of writing an email to a company and I want to make sure they get it - a read receipt is how I want to verify that they've had it. Why does Mail not support this?
    If I am going to have to accept that Mail is not the first class application Apple keeps parading around - is there an alternative that offers this and other features I would expect to find in Microsoft Outlook (minus the calendar etc...)?

    Outlook uses a Microsoft-proprietary system for "read receipts", so there may be no way Apple could implement it, or there may be licensing fees involved, or Apple may just not feel that it's worth spending the money to implement. Outlook which is designed to work primarily with an Exchange server, so it's in Microsoft's interest to support Exchange features (note that even Microsoft in their own Mac app do not support all the features theydo on Windows).
    You can express your interest in this feature to Apple via their feedback pages, if you wish:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    but support for return receipts in any system other than Exchange is very unlikely, since as Matt said it is not part of the Internet email specification and hence not widely supported at all.
    Regards.

  • Why does apple only support mp4 videos?

    It's not really a problem, i usually use my friends computers to convert my videos since mine is so slow.
    But why does apple only support MP4 and MOV formats? Why not MPEG or DivX?
    I know they cannot use WMV because it is a Microsoft format.
    It's just sometimes when i convert videos, the audio becomes out of sync or iTunes complains it's not playable on my iPod.
    I would just like to know why?
    Thanks for your time.

    If Apple chooses to go with H.264 or MP4 or whatever else they want to support, maybe it would be real nice if iTunes could automatically convert to those formats. So if I dropped my universally standard (and supported by most DVD players) DivX video clip in the library, iTunes would convert and format the video to an iPod friendly format.
    So, let me see if I understand this correctly. You want Apple to pirate proprietary codecs from DivX and build them into iTunes QT access. Tell me, does this mean that Apple is working as your agent and you will be the one spending time behind bars or paying the fines. Or, are you saying that Apple should act as an agent for DivX and charge you for a version of iTunes with legal codecs installed. How about Windows Media? Want to double the cost? What about Real? Or maybe Apple should have different versions of iTunes -- one for you and one for the guy who lives next door who uses old Indeo files?
    I have tried several 3rd party converters and they all suck.
    Perhaps you should be more selective in choosing a converter or invest in a commercial product which is supported by the people selling it.
