Why is there always a problem?

This is more of a criticism than a bug report. It seems that whenever I run Firefox, there is an issue. I can't tell you how many computers I've been to where:
* Firefox complains that it is out of date.
I get it, updating software is hard, but don't burden me with the issue. Updates should be quiet and seemless.
* Firefox needs to inform me about my rights.
99.9999999999% of users don't know or care about this.
* Firefox is unhappy that it's not my default browser.
* Firefox babies the user when downloading extensions.
Adding a 3 second timer to your install button doesn't make the user choose safer decisions. It just makes me impatient. What's the justification for this delay? Do you have proof that you've curbed malicious behavior?
I just want to run Firefox and not be burdened with all of this. Don't bother me with updates, don't treat me like a baby, just get out of the way so I can get to work.
Thank you.

Amen to that.
The people making Firefox must be a big fan of the nanny state. They seem to think they know better than you do about what's good for you.

  • Why are there always 180 Free Apps when I choose "See All"?

    Surely new apps are added daily. Why are there never more than 180? Are there more, but I just don't know how to find them? I feel like I'm missing something here. (BTW - The same question applies to Paid Apps.)

    Well, no one really seems to have the answer to the essential question:
    "Are there only 180 apps in a category and is it going to stay that way? If there are more, where the heck are they?"
    I can't believe that 180 is the limit and we won't be seeing any more!

  • Why are there so many problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro ???

    Hi everybody out there using Mac Pro's early 2008,
    I found out there is a lot of problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro.
    My early 2008 Mac Pro has been repaired ones under warranty and now it stopped working again ! Also see under: Mac Pro early 2008 no chime and does not start up. Why is this ????
    It worked well for about 2 years and then it just fails and i had this failing issue twice already !!! Is this just a BAD Apple product or how do you think I need to approach this. Let’s face it, these machine don’t come cheap and you at least expect them to work without problems for 4-5 years. What is happening here ???
    Cheers, Kavango

    go to a black screen after 15 minutes or a couple hours
    That is probably an indication that you need to find a new graphics card.
    RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
    1) Apple brand cards,
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
    3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
    ... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
    1) Apple brand cards:
    • Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
    • Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
    • NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
    • NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
    3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
    • SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
    • EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
    The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
    If you are Meet ALL of these:
    • running 10.8.3 or later AND
    • don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
    • can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
    You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

  • Why is there always 1.5 gb of "wired" ram on my new MPB (2012)

    I recently upgraded (after a faulty computer) my macbook pro to a 2012 model 2.3ghtz core I7 4gm ram 500gb hdd 15 inch, from a 2.5 core 2 duo 4gb ram 500gb hdd late 2010 model. after transfereing my documents, ive noticed there is always (even after restart) 1.5gb of wired ram, leaving me little to play with. The number varies from about 1.4- 1.6gb .  Any suggestions?
    Here is a screenshot from an app called memory cleaner, which fails to fix the problem.
    ive used about 1/2 my HDD space, and at the time of this screenshot was using 2 tabs of safari, (one being this and the other facebook) and iTunes.
    Cheers

    Exactly what is the problem you perceive?
    About OS X Memory Management and Usage
    Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory & determine how much RAM is used
    Memory Management in Mac OS X
    A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
    Understanding top output in the Terminal
    The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
    Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently.  It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster.  What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent.  It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

  • Why is there always the text of an old message in the text box every time I go to write a new message?

    For the last three days, when I go to write a new text/iMessage, there is the text of a message I sent recently in the text box. I've tried everything to get rid of it, but nothing seems to work... each time I go to write a new message, there's the same old text again. does anyone know why this is happening - and what I can do to erase it and get back to a good old blank text box? Thanks for your help!

    If the login box keeps popping up either your acct is disabled or you are mistyping your pw.

    Shqip an annoying forum bug exists that caused your reply to be hidden until now.
    If your Express is still under warranty you should contact AppleCare and have them address the problem.
    It is possible 2.4 GHz wireless interference is a factor. Use Apple's Wireless Diagnostics as a tool to examine your wireless environment.
    You can determine for yourself whether wireless interference is likely to be a causal factor preventing reliable music streaming. To do that, hold an option key while you click your Mac's Wi-Fi icon, and choose Open Wireless Diagnostics...
    The following authentication dialog will appear:
    Authenticate with your Admin password, then click the Continue button in the following:
    The network analysis and diagnostic tests will take several minutes to complete:
    When it completes, if your wireless network is functioning properly the following will result:

  • Why is there always an extra tab in Firefox? Even if I try to close it, it reopen automaticly. Please help!

    No matter what, whenever I open Firefox, an extra tab opens up. I've tried countless times to close it but it always reopens! It is very annoying. The tab is always google.com. I've tried everything, please help!!

    You may have set the home page to a website that opens in the sidebar or have set multiple home pages.
    Opening in the sidebar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.<br />
    You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the sidebar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).<br />
    In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.<br />
    Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected.<br />

  • Why is there always "0 bytes" in Cache in Control Panel? It never increases, yet the stored data size continues to increase.

    This is annoying. I just updated to version 19 almost a week ago and still Firefox never seeks to keep anything in "Cache". After using firefox for a few days, it crashed a couple times already and now the browser randomly freezes (to the point to where my screen on/off button wont even respond). After maybe a few seconds...things will start moving, but sluggish to where I have to shut down FF in my task manager. There us "0" bytes cache shown, but stored data is at 70MB. I went into firefox and cleared cache via the settings but that did nothing. There is still 70MB of stored data and of course it alwats shows 0 bytes cache. What's up with that? Am I going to have to "Clear Data" just to fix this and lose my bookmarks and logins tet again?

    I think it's possible that Firefox, while emptying some database files, is not compacting them, so they continue to consume the same amount of "disk" space as they did before. On desktop versions of Firefox, you can use extensions such as the following for that purpose, but I don't know whether any such thing is available for mobile. Also, it would be nice to have it built in.

    Unfortunately, in a quick search, I do not see a general purpose Android SQLite app that will runs on Firefox profile databases without root access (unless they are on the SD card, which seems highly doubtful).

  • Why are there so many problems with 7.01 and 7.02?

    Loading 7.01 and then 7.02 on both the iphone 4s and the iPad2 resulted in a complete factory restore of both the phone and the iPad.  I then had to completely restore from a backup.  Friends are reporting the same issue.  What is happening APPLE?  Is this the begining a major quality control issue?  Is this what to expect with future updates? 

    Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

  • Why does my latest version of Firefox under Windows 8.1 always report problems with security certifactes - even on mozilla,com - when my latets version on Ubunt

    On my desktop, I have been using Firefox V27 on Ubuntu 12.04 for some time. It uses secure sites - such as https://mozilla.org - and accepts the Security Certificates quite happily, so I am not even aware there is any issue.
    My new laptop is Windows 8,1, and I have installed Firefox- the latest version.
    Whenever Firefox visits a secure site, it ALWAYS says that there is a problem with the security certificate - even at mozilla.org - and warns me away. I have to complete a security exemption.
    Why is this, and how can I fix it?
    Thanks in anticipation.

    unfortunately the fiddler2 issuer in certificates might be a sign of unwanted software present on your pc that is intercepting secure network traffic. please go into the system control panel and uninstall programs like BrowserSafeguard, BrowserSafe, SafeGuard or other software that sounds suspicious and didn't get installed by you intentionally.
    <br><sub>reference: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/982532#answer-520145</sub>
    afterwards, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." and next to the file it has err = -3259.

    I have a BT Infinity router plugged into the Time Capsule, not sure where the radio settings are?
    They are able to use the network settings of the TC i.e. they can connect to the internet via the wifi through the TC but when they try and connect to the AirPort Disk this is where it is not allowing a connection.
    I don;t have the drive shared out at all at the moment, is this necessary?  How do I do this if so?
    I have attached the screen shots of all the settings.
