ideato,
I couldn't see the wording of the filename exactly as you pointed out, but I ended up doing a file search "*.ini" on my hard drive, which resulted in 359 files found. then I scanned down the column name and entered a "configuration settings" file simply named "profiles" in the folder: C:\Documents and Data Data\Mozilla\FirefoxI deleted it and opened my Firefox browser! I lost all my favorites, history, etc., but this isn't the end of the world.

I'm trying to install Adobe PS CS3 for my boss on another computer. I put the program on a hard disk and copied to the other computer now, it does not open and said he needs the license. What can I do to make it work on this computer?
Copy the program through a new machine will not work. Install it using installation files and activate using the serial number assigned to the license.

When you try to go to Gmail, the tab does not open and said only: "loading."
For the last three days, whenever I try to go to Gmail, tab Firefox says "loading" and does not open gmail. Gmail works fine on Internet Explorer on my laptop so I know that's not Gmail. No error, it just keeps trying to load for as long I let the open tab. Any ideas? I have not changed anything on my computer or settings for Firefox. Thank you!

I did a restore (Windows XP). After that Firefox would not start. You can see the "Hourglass" for a second, but nothing happens. I tried the Mode SAFE Start and it wouldn't work. I went into the program file and tried to open with the .exe of the fie. Nothing, I don't don't want to lose my favorites by installing a new version. I have tried creating a new profile becauae I don't know if I can do it right or even if it would work.
Would appreciate any help. Thank you. Bearcat78
Hello Bearcat78.
I advise that you think... a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. But it's not too difficult.
Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.
First, save your profile by saving a copy of the profile file... See: profiles of boards - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
- 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.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

You can try the following steps in case of problems with web pages:
Reload Web pages and ignore the cache to refresh potentially stale or corrupt.
- Hold down the SHIFT key and click the Reload button
- Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
- Press 'Command + shift + R' (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from Web sites that are causing problems.
"Clear the Cache":
- Firefox/tools > Options > advanced > network > content caching Web: 'clear now '.
'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:
- Firefox/tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: "show the Cookies".
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

Why am I unable to download and copy iso files that need to go into the USB drive, it always comes up with an error when copying the installation files and none of the solutions have worked (some of the things I've tried are different from the USB, disassemble and repeat the download process windows files)
You cannot use a simple USB as a source and destination. You must copy the ISO file (it's a single file, not the full installer) in your Documents folder and then run BCA to create a USB installation program. 2015 macs do not create a USB installation program.

my browser cannot open google and facebook and other https sites that it does not open even the app store does not work, I tried to change my DNS google DNS and disable IPv6 but still no use, help PLZ!
You may have installed one or more variants of the malware "VSearch' ad-injection. Please back up all data, and then take the steps below to disable it.
Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.
Malware is constantly evolving to work around defenses against it. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
Step 1
VSearch malware tries to hide by varying names of the files it installs. It regenerates itself also if you try to remove it when it is run. To remove it, you must first start in safe mode temporarily disable the malware.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for other instructions.
Step 2
When running in safe mode, load the web page and then triple - click on the line below to select. Copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ go to the folder...
from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" can open. If this is the case, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.
There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. Please don't skip this step. Files that belong to an instance of VSearch will have the same date of change for a few minutes, then they will be grouped together when you sort the folder this way, which makes them easy to identify.
Step 3
In the LaunchDaemons folder, there may be one or more files with the name of this form:
com Apple.something.plist
When something is a random string, without the letters, different in each case.
Note that the name consists of four words separated by dots. Typical examples are:
com Apple.builins.plist
com Apple.cereng.plist
com Apple.nysgar.plist
There may be one or more items with a name of the form:
com.something.plist
Yet once something is a random string, without meaning - not necessarily the same as that which appears in one of the other file names.
These names consist of three words separated by dots. Typical examples are:
com.semifasciaUpd.plist
com.ubuiling.plist
Sometimes there are items (usually not more than one) with the name of this form:
com.something .net - preferences.plist
This name consists of four words (the third hyphen) separated by periods. Typical example:
com.jangly .net - preferences.plist
Drag all items in the basket. You may be prompted for administrator login password.
Restart the computer and empty the trash.
Examples of legitimate files located in the same folder:
com.apple.FinalCutServer.fcsvr_ldsd.plist
com Apple.Installer.osmessagetracing.plist
com Apple.Qmaster.qmasterd.plist
com Apple.aelwriter.plist
com Apple.SERVERD.plist
com Tether.plist
The first three are clearly not VSearch files because the names do not match the above models. The last three are not easy to distinguish by the name alone, but the modification date will be earlier than the date at which VSearch has been installed, perhaps several years. None of these files will be present in most installations of Mac OS X.
Do not delete the folder 'LaunchDaemons' or anything else inside, unless you know you have another type of unwanted software and more VSearch. The file is a normal part of Mac OS X. The "demon" refers to a program that starts automatically. This is not inherently bad, but the mechanism is sometimes exploited by hackers for malicious software.
If you are not sure whether a file is part of the malware, order the contents of the folder by date modified I wrote in step 2, no name. Malicious files will be grouped together. There could be more than one such group, if you attacked more than once. A file dated far in the past is not part of the malware. A folder in date dated Middle an obviously malicious cluster is almost certainly too malicious.
If the files come back after you remove the, they are replaced by others with similar names, then either you didn't start in safe mode or you do not have all the. Return to step 1 and try again.
Step 4
Reset the home page in each of your browsers, if it has been modified. In Safari, first load the desired home page, then select
▹ Safari preferences... ▹ General
and click on
Set on the current Page
If you use Firefox or Chrome web browser, remove the extensions or add-ons that you don't know that you need. When in doubt, remove all of them.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you reinstall it never. A few small files will be left behind, but they have no effect, and trying to find all them is more trouble that it's worth.
Step 5
The malware lets the web proxy discovery in the network settings. If you know that the setting was already enabled for a reason, skip this step. Otherwise, you should undo the change.
Open the network pane in system preferences. If there is a padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window, click it and authenticate to unlock the settings. Click the Advanced button, and then select Proxies in the sheet that drops down. Uncheck that Auto Discovery Proxy if it is checked. Click OK, and then apply.
Step 6
This step is optional. Open the users and groups in the system preferences and click on the lock icon to unlock the settings. In the list of users, there may be some with random names that have been added by the malware. You can remove these users. If you are not sure whether a user is legitimate, do not delete it.
