I changed my preferences and now Firefox crashes my computer when I open it-why?
I changed some preferences (including the clear browsing history, cookies, cache, etc. When you exit firefox) and it freezes. When I forst wuit firefox after changing these settings, it took more than 10 minutes (rotation of the wheel) and I finally forced to quit. so when I have opened firefox, everything on my computer before upward. I could not even rule out the window or select 'force quite. ' I had to stop hard. When I rebooted my computer, I opened safari first, then firefox. When firefox open he did the same thing - everything froze, could not move the window, etc. - except this time I clicked on the safari icon and then was able to navigate to a force quite on firefox. How to solve this problem? I hate safari and you want to resume as soon as possible by using firefox. Thank you!
You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder to see where you end up.

I do not see the plugin container in the task manager of Windows since the last update of Firefox and now FF freezes several times per day (since the previous update, before yesterday). It takes several minutes after that I see this until it thaws, and it is faster the "end task" and restart Firefox to wait. This most often seems to happen when the computer has been idle for a certain time, rather than when I use it.
Be sure to let the process of plugin-container in the firewall.

For some time now Firefox crashes if a something site opens in a separate window.
For a few months now, I got the above problem. For example, the site below when you select "client connection", you enter your user name and then a separate window opens (or should open) to the top where you enter the password. I have now to access this account using Chrome. When I quit Firefox it will not restart so I have to delete "firefox.exe" in applications. Often, when I restart, I receive one of your messages of 'oops '.
I get the same when a purchase is made on Ebay.
H v get frustrated and you would appreciate the help.
TIA Roy

Installed IE 8 on my vista laptop at home and now my Palm desktop computer will not open.
The office that came with my palm Centro has worked well for a year. I installed IE8, now when I try to open the Palm desktop, that it does not open. I can hotsync via the USB port. Windwoes said there is a problem and it cannot open, but will want to know if there is a solution. Windwoes is not to find a. I tried to go back to a previous restore point, still nothing. I don't have bluetooth on my computer so new desktop 6.2 is not an option. Help please
Hello geocostello and thank you for posting on the forums...
You can reinstall the office 4.2 that accompanies your centro via the CD. (if you have one yet...) If not, you can go the palm.com and do a search for Desktop Manager 4.2 and download it, then install it. This should not affect your data. Before doing so, try to go into Add/Remove programs and uninstall from there Office Manager. Then re-install the software. Yet once, it should not affect your data.
If the software does not uninstall from Add/Remove Programs, you can go to microsoft and download the Microsoft uninstall utility. This should remove the software and registry entries and allow you to re - install the Desktop manager 4.2
Let us know what happens...
Thank you

FireFox crashes the computer when I start it.
Not only it hangs when starting, but sometimes starts fine site and then some random will lock up too. Today as he locked up on PC Doctor. I tried with no loading of plugins. Turned on the default appearance. I installed the latest version. It didn't happen before version 35. I would like to install an older version.
I think I solved it; I hope. I went to the counter to cut the page web modules. The developer proposed to set the path to 'find '. So far, it has worked.

Hey guys! My brothers and sisters have decided to play a trick on me and changed my computer to the front of a week time (panic ensued). I changed it to the current date, 07/30/2104 21:18 (at time of writing), and now Firefox will not trace of my story. Just one day, I changed the time on the computer to the front and then Firefox will begin to record history. Changed, there again at the present time and also return one day and it will not save. Story work for Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.
TL:Dr - Firefox became the TARDIS and stepped forward in time to save the history.
Hello
Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
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.
More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.
WARNING: Do not use an uninstaller to third parties as part of this process. This could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. They can be retrieved easily unless they have been backed up on an external device! See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.
Please report to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

original title: open my files
I can't delete the post of WinRar on my files that were downloaded and now I can't get anything to open
Please describe your problem in more detail. Tell us that that "cannot delete" means. Exactly how do you try? What happens when you try? If you get an error message, please quote verbatim.
Or do you mean 'change' expansion, rather than "delete." Have you tried?
And one last point: If the files have the rar extension, what are rar files. The file format does not remove or change the extension. If you remove or change the extension, they will always be rar files. A rar file can only be successfully opened by Winrar or a compatible program.
