    Doing a lot of brushing up on an image using Lightroom is known to have this problem. The first thing to try is to turn off the graphics acceleration (go to Preferences/Performance tab and then uncheck the box here). IF this does not help, then you can consider doing your brush in Photoshop Elements or Photoshop, instead of brushing in Lightroom.

  • I use Windows 7 with a Firefox browser. new flash player update Adobe... now, it blocks my computer!

    I use Windows 7 and firefox browser. I was invited to update flash player to the new verion 17. (blah blah). 169. I downloaded the update. installed without a problem but come to find out now, everytime I try to go youtube my videos play but they are extremely glitch, pixelated, then after a bit, my computer crashes everything.

    I tried all the suggested site patches i.e. uninstalled and reinstalled flashplayer. Reinstalled a previous version. Reset firefox to delete modules or extensions that I did. Nothing worked!

    It is a standard orientation which addresses the most common issues with the Flash Player plugin. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:

    (1) If you have any recorders/downloaders who interact with Flash media to ensure that they are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them temporarily.

    (2) turn off hardware acceleration in Firefox and Flash

    (A) in Firefox, uncheck the box here:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced > General > "use hardware acceleration when available.

    Which takes effect the next time you exit and restart Firefox.

    (B) in Flash, right-click in the press and choose settings, then the first mini tab and uncheck the box to use hardware acceleration. More information in this article from Adobe technical support: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues

    (3) turn off mode protected (Windows Vista and later)

    The functionality of the safe_mode of the Flash player plugin has security benefits, but there seem to be some compatibility issues on some systems. There is a new parameter hidden for this:

    (A) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (B) in the search above the list box, type or paste the flash and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (C) double-click the preference dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable - protected mode to change its value from false to true.

    It cannot take effect until all the Flash was discharged for a few minutes, or you close Firefox.

    Any improvement?

  • How to use a Mac to download firefox.exe Flash drive to install Win XP SP3 box?

    Recommended to install Firefox on a new Acer Aspire 1 (ZG8) with Win XP 2002 SP3 without configuring MS Explorer. I want to do by downloading Firefox on a USB key, then transfer it to Acer and settle there. But my other computer is a Mac Book Pro (OS X 6.8), and Mozilla only offers me a Mac version. How to use the Mac to download an .exe file of windows on a portable flash drive? If I use a distro Linux and VirtualBox with my Mac, that would allow me to choose the right download for MS Win XP 2002 SP3?

    Under the button ' download free Firefox ' it should be 'Systems and languages', which gives you links to download Firefox in any language for Linux, Mac and Windows. Here is the link https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

  • I downloaded Firefox, but it does not open. I tried several times to install and uninstall, but it still does not work.

    We used to use Firefox... but for some reason, it stopped opening. We have uninstalled and we found that the old version of Firefox would open but it would be immediately updated to the new version and then the problems start again and it would not start.

    You use a different browser, download the FULL installer of

    Save the file. Then;

    Using your file browser, open the folder of programs on your computer.

    Mac: Open the folder "Applications".
    Linux: See your user manual.

  • I downloaded firefox, but it will not start why?

    I had Firefox and it crashed. He would never launch again. Then, I removed from my laptop and rebooted. I then downloaded again. Same results. What is going on? Today, I downloaded again and it started but now when I open my computer again, it will not hold.

    I don't know if it came while you were posting your question, but there are several troubleshooting suggestions in this article: Firefox does not start - solutions.

    Could you try starting Firefox in Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox. A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

    Firefox start?

    Sometimes a firewall strict 'program control' or malicious software stops Firefox from running. You can review these opportunities by using the steps and tools in these articles:

  • Is it true that if I download Firefox 6, Skype will be disabled?

    I tried to download Firefox 6, but unless I read incorrectly, he said that I would not be able to use to use Skype more. Is this true? I really love Firefox but would not be able to leave Skype.

    No, it is not true. All Firefox 6 would disable is the Skype for Firefox extension, which highlights the phone numbers on the web pages that are read in Firefox and then allows these phone numbers to call in Skype by clicking on the highlighted phone number.

  • I downloaded Firefox 3.6 on a vista 64-bit computer and got a Trojan horse with the download.

    Downloaded firefox 3.6 on a Vista 64 bit machine. Once downloaded, I started having viruses pop up (third party) caveats of protection. Windows defender and IE open and lock-up. It returns a warning whenever I run an application and prevents the execution of most of the programs. Never had this problem with the Mozilla software before. Just curious if anyone else has had a similar problem.

    First of all, go to http://www.avg.com/us-en/avg-rescue-cd-download and download the rescue CD. Follow the instructions to create the disc/usb. Then go to the web site of Firefox and download the installation files. Don't go to other sites to get the files.
    In Control Panel, choose to uninstall Firefox. Once the uninstall is complete, place AVG Rescue disk in the drive and restart, making sure that the PC boots to the CD/USB. Once the rescue is complete, restart and install Firefox. Make sure you have the latest version of the anti-virus software and firewall running. AVG, Norton and Panda is among the best. I had this problem when I clicked on the link for some antivirus England.It unnamed took over the system and would not let me do anything. I could only get them online by starting in safe mode with internet connection.
    Good luck.

  • Using Windows Movie Maker on the error message XP__ not indexed _ bad quality

    I use Windows Movie Maker XP (version 2.1?).  I've converted and imported a lot of videos.  I have a group of short videos recorded the same day.  I (with free STROKE) converted to AVI and they play with no audio and several play accelerated.  I've then diverted to ASF and some of them imported correctly.  Most of them gave me an error message that they were not indexed.  I downloaded several things to remedy this from online forums: I uninstalled K-Lite pack codec, Expression Encoder 4, WinDVR AVI, DivFix, lame and a number of things.  That's a family movie, I spent a lot of time on it.  If anyone can help with my old hardware and software configuration at this point I'd appreciate it.  The original film seems to be of much better quality than what I am able to import.  Thank you!

    The most reliable video format for Movie Maker is. WMV.

    No guarantee... but the following freeware converter
    may be worth a try:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Sothink Free Video Converter
    http://www.Sothinkmedia.com/video-converter/
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    You will need to unzip the file... or you could just drag
    the Setup.exe from the file out of the folder and drop it on your
    desktop and install from there.

    Once installed... Open Sothink and go to... Add the files button...
    Find and select the clips you want to convert.

    Next... in the encoding settings... Choose... Video credits.
    WMV - Windows Media Video (*.wmv).

    Choose an output folder and on the left, click on the button convert.

    You can experiment with other settings later but
    This should help you get started.

  • When I click on the Firefox icon, it says: "cannot load XPCOM. What can I do?

    When I started this morning at the computer and clicked on the icon of Firefox, I received the message "unable to load XPCOM. What can I do to fix this?

    Hi, this problem can often be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you delete your Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. This process does not delete your Firefox profile (such as bookmarks and passwords) data, since this information is stored in a different location.

    To do a clean reinstall of Firefox, follow these steps: Note: you can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

      Click the close button

      ).

    3. 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.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. 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.

  • All of a sudden I can't launch firefox, message says: unable to load XPCOM, what should I do?

    Can't get on the line, the browser says "failed to load XPCOM" icon, what can I do? Help, please. I'm not very savvy computer. Please keep it very simple.

    This may be caused by an update of Firefox failure that left you with a mixture of old and update files in the Firefox program folder.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

    • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

  • Why search for mozilla firefox in Bing does not appear when I connect to AOL as my homepage?

    When I connect to the home page of aol.com , instead see a page that says search mozilla firefox on the top and Bing on the right. I was able to remove the Bing toolbar, but were unable to delete the mozilla firefox page. It is a new problem and I do not know how to solve. Can you help me?

    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 safe or make changes.

    Try to use the extension SearchReset reset preferences to default values.

    Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).
