How can I restore wsock32.dll?
At startup I get messages of many programs that they cannot start because wsock32.dll is not found and that I should reinstall. I ran the antivirus scans, not been able to do a system restore, tried to reinstall a couple of programs without success.
Hello
Did you change your computer?
Wsock32.dll error messages may appear when using or installing some programs when Windows starts or shuts down, or maybe even during a Windows installation. Wsock32.dll errors are caused by situations that lead to the removal or corruption of the DLL to wsock32.
In some cases, wsock32.dll errors might indicate a problem of registry, a virus or malware issue or even a hardware failure.

If I accicentally delete a tab, how can I restore it?
If I accidentally delete a tab, how can I restore it?
I'm not sure what you mean by delete, but I'll mention a few things to get started:
(1) If you accidentally closed a tab, but there is another tab open in the same window:
- Make a right click No matter what tab > undo close tab
- CTRL + SHIFT + t did the same thing
- Use the menu list in the history of recently closed tabs to re - open the tab
(2) If you accidentally close a tab, and that the entire window:
- If you had another open window (Firefox did not close): allows you to re - open the window menu in the history of windows list recently closed
- If Firefox shuts down: after starting Firefox, check the list of the menu in the history of recently closed windows. If none is listed, try to 'Restore previous Session' on the history menu and then check again.

How can I restore my default browser
I have problems with my email Go Daddy account. Go daddy said that I need to restore my default browser. I already deleted my history, cookies and cache settings. How can I restore firefox default.
I'll answer that in a few minutes, but first of all, what is the problem you are having with the account?
What the function of Firefox Reset done that create a folder of fresh settings, carrying over your bookmarks, saved passwords and some other information but shedding some of your add-ons (extensions and themes) and custom settings. It's quick and easy, but in some cases, you can lose information, such as groups of tabs, it's important to you. This article contains more information: Refresh Firefox – reset settings and Add-ons.
To see if a reset is likely to help until you do, you could test email from GoDaddy in a totally blank Firefox profile. A new profile inherits the plugins already installed on your system, such as Flash, but otherwise, will look like a new installation. If this does not resolve the problem of GoDaddy, then it is useless to do a reset.
If you want to try this, close Firefox and starts in the Profile Manager, as described in this article: use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox. Any time want spending profiles, close Firefox and come back to this dialog box. I recommend that you use the suggested default location, do not delete anything without first making backups.
The site works as expected in the new profile?
