How stop-closed firefox running when I can't access it?
I'm having a problem firefox but also access to download a newer verdsion. I'm now trying to import my favorites to other browsers, but I get the message that firfox is running that prevents me to import my favorites. How can I stop - close firefox when I can't access it?
You can try the Windows 7 Task Manager.
Press Ctrl + SHIFT + ESC to call Task Manager.
On the Applications tab, all Firefox Windows visible will be listed. You can select each window allows the switch, then close the window. If all goes well, that will stop Firefox.
In this is not do, click the process tab. Here, you may need to click on "Image name" to sort the list. Then search for firefox.exe. To 'kill' or block this process, you can right click on it and complete the process.
I hope that this is rarely necessary. If you find that Firefox gets stuck in memory, often, he can be suspended during the shutdown, and we could look at why that might happen.

I tried, in vain, 3.6.28 upgrade, but were unable to do. A pop-up appears telling me that I must and offers a range of click on to go ahead and do it. I followed all the instructions and after dragging the Firefox logo in the applications box, a window appears saying: there is already a version in the applications folder and I want to replace it. I clicked on change and thought I was ready to go. When I clicked on the logo of Firefox I get the original window telling me that I have to update. I clicked on the "about this Firefox and find that I am still under 3.6.28. HOW TO PASS? I am very worried to lose all my favorites, so please help!

Hi, I really need to reset the PW on my Gamertag * Lathyrus TSG * who was on my original Xbox. My Original Xbox died a few years back and recently I bought a new Xbox. I download on my new Xbox. The Email attached to my Gamertag is dead, it was my email former Internet service provider and they changed Roadrunner/Comcast to Time Warner Cable. I have the old ID Xbox and Xbox novelty and serial numbers as well as the former flow used to pay for Xbox Live Gold card. I tried several times to use the form help to reset my PW but a Xbox Live rep believes that I can't meet the minimum percentage of correct information to get a link sent. I would really like this old Gamertag back.

Hello
For a new computer, I would recommend that you check with the computer manufacturer and ask what type of recovery options, they have available for this laptop.
You may be able to get a recovery disk or they may have installed a recovery partition you need instructions on the use of this recovery option.

Firefox crashes when I try to access the "Tools/add-on menu.
I am trying to determine which add-on causes firefox to crash.
When I click on 'Tools', then ' Add on ", it crashes every time." What you can do to find out what add-on is defective?To check if an add-on is the culprit, follow the procedure described in article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .
Another thing you can try, open your profile file, for more details on how to find it see article profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data . Now close Firefox and delete extensions.cache and extensions.rdf extensions.ini, these files are re-created when you restart Firefox. This can help if one of these files is damaged.

Firefox crashes when I try to access some sites protected by password
Since Firefox updated to 17.0.1, every day, I have this problem. Often when I go to a site like ebay or my Bank, after entering my password, Firefox crashes. When I close Firefox and try to start it again, it does not start. Internet Explorer then does not either. I need to restart. I never had this problem before 17.0.1. I have a desktop running Windows XP and all updated.
It seems that the problem is resolved by updating Trusteer report to the latest version: 1207.40. I don't know why the report software was not being updated automatically on my PC but when I've manually updated the problem disappeared.

How to get Firefox Mobile to open Outlook Web Access Premium 2010/Full?
Microsoft Exchange Website indicates that Firefox is one of the browsers to access the full/premium version of OWA 2010 level 1.
Firefox (v. 16) on my desktop and laptop computers accessing premium/full version of OWA 2010.
However, the two (v.17 and Beta 18) Firefox for Android and Tablet do NOT access bonus/full version of OWA. Only a light version of OWA is available. Check box for the light version can be deselected.
What settings can I change or add-ons can install to access premium/full version of OWA using Firefox Mobile?
Thank you.
I wonder if it is wise to use a web application 3-column on a tiny screen. That said, you can try to pass for a desktop browser by changing the user agent. There is an add-on called Phony that may be useful for testing.

I just spent an hour with support chat. And got nowhere I explained that my credit card had been charged for an annual fee, and I wanted to cancel my account and have a refund on my credit card. I also explained that I could access is no longer the original e-mail. And just when I thought we were making progress, the agent wrote, ' "I will be able to cancel the subscription without cancellation fees and not to initiate a refund for cancellation.". It was at the point of 45 minutes in our conversation, I finished on that date.
Adobe customer service has reached a new low. Maybe I should sell my stock now...

He's practically dead.Apple is replaced by a new MBP, but creative cloud turned on the old laptop.

Is there a way to disable this feature online? Otherwise, do not know what to do. Best I can do is try something in target mode. Any ideas?
