Why is Firefox spamming me? I open it and it tries to update, fails, as soon as I close it, it starts an update, it won't stop and I can't use Firefox, which makes me sad because I love my Firefox :(

Firefox opens in a window that says please wait a few minutes while updating and than it opens directly to a new window that says... "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer and than restart Firefox to start again. I exit out and it repeats, and repeats, and repeats etc. I don't even have to open Firefox for it to do this... I can't get onto Firefox and I'm really frustrated. Please Help!~

    Hello Susan.
    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there.

    It's just the Google homepage tribute to Pacman turning 30 today. A playable game starts up automatically, use the arrow keys to move Pacman. It's fun!
    You can get Ms Pacman to appear in that game by clicking the "insert coin" button twice and using the WASD keys to move :)
    You can also just change your homepage to something other than google until tomorrow.

    can I use iWeb to make changes to a website created in Dreamweaver? How would I do this? I didn't create the site and don't know Dreamweaver, but I figure I could learn iWeb quickly.

    No, iWeb cannot open or change existing sites no matter what other program created them.

  • Can't use old installed version of CS6 because old subscription of CC says subscription expired

    My school bought Creative Suite CS6 and as an educational product I am allowed to install this at home as a teacher as I need it to prepare work. I am a teacher and paid for Adobe CC subscription so I could evaluate the new version at home. I cancelled my subscription and now Creative suite tells me that the subscription has lapsed and I now can't use CS6 which we paid for? Any ideas because I am getting a little frustrated here as I need to mark some KS5 coursework.

    uninstall everything cc and run the cleaner, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    then unstinstall everything cs6 and run the cleaner.
    finally, reinstall your paid-for cs6 using your serial number to activate.

    Hi,
    I didn't look at the example, but if you want to secure your application then you should use container managed security. Read this .
    Anyway, you could add this before return "good"; in your login_action()
    FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSessionMap().put("username", user);Then, you can access this from anywhere in the application by using #{sessionScope.username}.

  • I have a G5 with Tiger to sell and want to erase all my data from it, but the cd drive won't work so I can't use the OS10 start up disk. Answers?

    I have a G5 to sell and want to erase all my data from it, but the cd drive won't work so I can't use the OS10 start up disk. Any way to do it?

    Do you have another Mac? If so, you can startup this one in "Target Disk Mode" (instructions here) and connect it to another Mac to delete the home folders (or the entire drive, if that's what you want).
    One piece of advise, though: after deleting the data, and of course emptying the Trash, it wouldn't hurt to also securely erase the "free space" of the drive (instructions here) before disconnecting the old Mac from the new one. This can be helpful, since "deleted" data is often retrievable with ease unles it's written over after the deletion.

  • Where will I find the Tumblr Savior icon? Installed the add-on, but can't use it. No information could be found on Mozilla/Firefox forums/help topics.

    I have searched the Firefox for PC help topics using multiple searches, re-installed the add-on, checked Yahoo, checked the developer website, I have even searched Tumblr--and the best answer was there (ie instructions, screen caps) and required me switching to Chrome.
    I am no computer professional, but I would like to use the add-on you make available. I have checked multiple sources, including your own. Tell me what I am doing wrong...

    I'm not sure whether you've tried the usual starting points. In the newish 3-Bar(hamburger) Button, click on customise and search in the palette for the icon. If it is there drag it to one of the toolbars.
    If not, see if it is stranded on the not-showing Add-ons Bar. Right click on a toolbar space and check Add-ons Bar if it is there. The bar will show at the bottom of the screen and may have some icons on it. Those icons can usually be dragged up to one of the top toolbars.
    Recent reviews of this Add-on don't look encouraging.
