Can open Firefox XPCOM file is missing. He can either uninstall and cannot download the new exe. What can I do?
Equipped with Windows Vista. Stop down my PC two day and when I booted up it would not start. Click on the button of power again and it started in safe mode and asked me to run a repair program that I made. After that Firefox does not open and I get the message "XPCOM is missing." everything else works. Tried to uninstall Firefox and cannot do it either. the uninstaller from Control Panel does not work and I found the Mozilla Firefox uninstall Help files and which will not be executed. I get the windows on the screen asking me to continue, or cancel and when I hit continue the dialog box just disappears and nothing happens. Can not download Firefox exe file again. I am running Trend Micro security PC.
You need to reinstall, you don't, because none of your bookmarks, history etc. WILL NOT BE LOST.
Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.
- Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
- Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
- Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
- Windows:
- C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
- Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
- Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
- Windows:
- Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
- Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
- Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

You must uninstall your current Firefox installation, and then reinstall Firefox.
-> Uninstall Firefox on your computer
- DO NOT SELECT DELETE THE SETTINGS AND DATA OF THE USER
- Restart your system
-> Download Firefox latest version of one of these links by using a different Web browser:
- http://www.Mozilla.com/en-us/Firefox/new/
- http://www.Mozilla.com/en-us/Firefox/Central/
- http://www.Mozilla.com/en-us/Firefox/FX/
- http://www.Mozilla.com/en-us/Firefox/all.html
Check and tell if its working.

When I click on a CR2 file I get a notification to come as States "could not complete your request because the file appears to be a model of camera that is not supported by the installed version of camera raw.
I'm entered in Photoshop and loaded the dates above, but have met 3 mistakes when you do this (1) Adobe Bridge CS5 4.0.5 (2) Adobe extension Manager SC5 5.0 update (3) 12.0.4 for Photoshop CS5 Photoshop
I tried for 2 days now to try to get the operating system for your support/help will be most appreciated.
My old camar is an EOS20 D and I have no problem with CR2 files it produce
Images II 7 d would be directly supported in Photoshop CS5 as requiring a new camera raw.
So, you must download the free DNG Converter to convert these images to DNG and then open the DNG converted in Photoshop.

I'm trying to import and backup/restore/Choose file... / after backup correctly and I see the file, but there is no JSON extension. What can I do?
I backed up my favorites using 'import and backup/Backup' on an external HD, installed Windows 10 and went to restore my bookmarks and noticed the file named "Firefox bookmarks-2015-09-04"had no extension and does not work."
Please advise! Thank you! Sincerely, s
If you add the .json extension, it works then? Why people who design browsers or extensions them do create files with no extension name, in spite that these extension names are essential to make the files can be restored? I could never understand that.

I get throughout the download process and move it in my applications. He then asks me if I want to replace the old version with the new. When I click on replace, a new window appears with the fact that my computer does not have privileges for the operations so I can not complete the process. Well, that really gets me, is that it appears always say that I need to download the new version. I don't know what to do.
If he has problems with the update or the permissions then simpler is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop disk image (dmg)
- Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
- Install the new version you downloaded
Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re) install Firefox.

Hi, I want to migrate thousands of images of Aperture library 3.6 to Lightroom and when I double click on Aperture App it won't open. I'm on OSX Yosemite 10.10.5 and I keep the nearly 200 gigabytes of photos on a separate hard drive so I can get more old photos looking at the content of the package and by copying and pasting in a recovery file, but it will be painful and very long. What do you suggest me? I thought that Aperture 3.6 was supposed to open at Yosemite or El Capitan? Thank you bripoppamac44
and when I double click on the App opening, it does not open.
What happens, when you try that? You get an error message? If so, what error?
Opening 3.6 works well with Yosemite 10.10.5.
d I keep the nearly 200 gigabytes of photos on a disc hard separated so I can get more old photos looking for the content of the package and by copying and pasting in a recovery file

Moved the folder "Pictures" of Mac and catalog image files shows no images. Cannot navigate to the appropriate folder in 'Files' Panel and cannot rename the folder "Images". How can I reconnect catalog image files?
You opened an empty catalog.
You can try the following two steps to open the appropriate catalog file.
