Firefox has completely disappeared from my Apple PC - cant find anywhere - whats happened?

I have a laptop Mac OS x 10.6.8 running version. Firefox has been installed more than two years ago and has been used exclusively for Internet access, browsing through Telstra wireless cable. Yesterday, I noticed that he had moved his position on the dashboard. I thought that it was strange that this happens without warning at the same time. Today, he is gone entirely from the dashboard. I can find no trace of it in the Applications and indeed, any where even in the trash. It has apparently been deleted somehow without my knowledge or permission. Other applications on the dashboard are still in close and seem to work OK. Can you advise action that there are several attached bookmarks that are very important to me

Thank you

Ray Daltrey

Hi Ray,

Sorry for the confusion previously. Let me see if I can help solve your problem.

Have you tried to save the icon to your Dock to see if the icon sticks here? Open Firefox from the Applications once it is visible in the folder, then try to control-click the icon while it is open in your Dock, and then choose Options > keep in Dock.

Let me know if this is useful, and if we don't need information on what is happening.

-Robert

    I've recently updated my ultrabook and the beats audio Panel completely gone!

    It was working fine before the updates (which have been "recommended by HP")...

    I can still change the function of power on and off beats using fn + b but when I go to open the audio control beats it says boot file not found...

    Any help?

    Hello

    Try the following.

    Download IDT Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56717.exe

    One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.  Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.

    When finished, restart the computer and let Windows load completely.  Open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once done, restart the laptop.

  • Pagefile.sys has completely disappeared. It started when the power failed and my computer crashed.

    My pagefile.sys has completely disappeared. This all started when the power failed and my computer crashed.
    I get the message that he was away, I went to the performance and settings and tried to change custom settings & re-start.
    No matter what I do, nothing works. I lost several hours of visiting sites for tips and nothing seems to help.
    I was told when re-boots WinXP it creates the new file pagefile.sys and I should delete the pagefile.sys file may be corrupted on the C drive.
    So I put the folders to show hidden files and delete pagefile.sys. I have re-set and tried to recover with no success.
    There is now absolutely no pagefile.sys on my C drive. Anyone know how I can get back my pagefile.sys?
    I want to get my virtual memory works again?
    Thank you very much in advance!

    I'd start first with the chkdsk/r.

    Don't forget - if you have a factory installed recovery Partition, fixmbr will scan it as the Master Boot Record that written XP will equal not the MBR installed by the factory, so first run chkdsk /r (did I say that already)?

    Here are some instructions:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/RCONSOLE.htm

    Where people have no XP bootable media, here are my instructions:

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  • Password Bank found that Firefox has been uninstalled from this computer

    I get this message and let me know what it means. "Password Bank found that Firefox has been uninstalled from this computer. Please confirm following elevation request to remove orphan password Bank support.

    Hello!

    It seems a similar problem has been reported in the past, already, for example here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/954186

    Chances are that you have advanced security software on your computer that you're not using (banking password), which can eventually be removed from your computer (because it seems that you do not use).

    I would suggest finding the control panel for your computer and removing Bank of your system password, if you know how to do this.

  • Using Firefox 4 and Windows 7. Whenever I have to start Firefox from a shortcut to a Web site, what happens with the following error "there was a problem sending the command to the program". The requested site is loaded after that. without any problem.

    Using Firefox 4 and Windows 7. Whenever I have to start Firefox from a shortcut to a Web site, what happens with the following error "there was a problem sending the command to the program". The requested site is loaded after that. without any problem.

    If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error will not occur.

    For me, the problem was the FoxClock extension. Once I disabled it, the problem was gone.

    I downloaded Firefox 4 and it does not give me most of the tabs and that he said that I would get. The top of my page looks nothing like what they show. How to repair or return to the Firefox I had before. I can not even find anywhere on my computer to uninstall Firefox 4

    Windows XP does not display the default Firefox Button. If you want to see the Firefox button, go to view-> toolbars and uncheck the menu bar. (To return to the menu bar, press the ALT key to temporarily show - see what happened to the file, edit and view menus?).

    If you want to uninstall Firefox 4 you can do from the control panel "Add or remove programs". See Uninstall Firefox on your computer.

    To get Firefox 3.6 go here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older.html and read install an older version of Firefox.
