problems after upgrading firefox. reset this is ugly. created the new profile, but can not recover data from old profile.

I use firefox on a MacBook pro. Mac OS X version 10.7.5. There was an update of firefox on a day or 2 ago. Since this was done, I was getting 'syntax error' 5 times, each time that a page has been loaded. Some research has suggested that an application or a plug-in called "social fixer" might be the problem but I could not understand how to get rid of it so decided to try to reset Firefox. Minutes passed and a message was on the screen saying the old files of firefox have been been "cleaned" or something, but it seems to be 'stuck' because the progress bar was little jerky. Doesn't it usually doesn't. So I clicked on "Cancel". After that, I couldn't even firefox to start. Looks like my profile is unavailable or inaccessible. Following the instructions found on the support site, I created a new profile and I thought I copied the files from the previous firefox on the new profile, but when I run firefox, it's a blank slate. None of my bookmarks or passwords are there. It must be here somewhere, but I can't seem to understand.

Looks like there was a problem with updating the profiles.ini file.

You can try to remove the current profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile where Firefox has not done that.
You can check if there is a profile folder with a number of attached time stamp and in this case, you can set the location of a profile created in this folder.

If you need to recover data from an older profile, always in the default location, or as a folder of old data of Firefox on the desktop then see:

    original title: Solution Center?

    I think that the solution center is a part of HP.  I go to programs - run and type msconfig.  Click the Startup tab and look for Solution Center, then uncheck the box so that it will not start then click on apply and restart the computer

  • Firefox crashes, impossible to create the new profile, reinstall does not work, can't get into safe mode

    Whenever I try to open Firefox, it only open the crash reporter. When I press "Restart Firefox", it just opened another journalist to crash. I use a PC.

    I tried all of the following characteristics, does not:

    1. reboot the computer
    2. system restore
    3. Uninstall and reinstall (done this several times)
    4 remove the Firefox installation folder
    5. try to create a new profile / use the Profile Manager using "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" - P, firefox.exe-p and firefox.exe - profilemanager - and all of this was, once again, open the crash reporter
    6 safe mode - literally impossible even to open Firefox so I don't know how I could do that

    I am at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • How can I recover data from my ESXi server after getting a "Pink Screen of Death"?

    Hi all

    I blame myself for that. I got about 1 GB od space left on my ESXi server and used MDT to create images and ran out of space. Well... all of a sudden, I had a pink, although very nice screen, what was being done was ugly.

    I have ESXi hypervisor of 5.5 is installed with all my virtual machines. The screenshot leads me to believe that there is no space and that is why it error. Has anyone ever run into this situation? Are there any tools or techniques, I can try

    Thanks in advance!

    Phil

    ESXiPintkScreen2.JPG

    The only thing left to try is the following: when the host is powered off, insert the disc, start the host, when you get a choice to start the latest version installed from a certain select ESXi installation (it should show on which drive it is installed), if not the last, once started, it should start the disc should be available without problem.

    As much as I can test and tested, this allways did the trick.

    If however it does not matter where, I think you have a disk failure (unavailable TPG, Pearl sectors, reformatted,...). It is not my expertise.

  • Videos and Google street view do not work after upgrading Firefox.

    After updating Firefox to 13 a few days ago, I can not play videos from any site (Youtube, Crackle, etc.) and I can't look at the Google street view. When I place the man on a street, no nothing... just shows empty!
    I have the latest plugins and Java, flash, etc. are working very well! Google Chrome and Internet Explorer are works fine as well.

    Until this issue is resolved, I have to use Google Chrome! Help!

    I found the cure to this problem. There is a problem with the plugin Flash v11 in conflict with Firefox 13 and more. The solution is to uninstall the Flash Player plugin v 11 in programs/uninstall from the control panel. Do not uninstall the program Flash itself - the plugin. Then install Flash plugin v 10.3 web site

    (1) if I use the built-in driver to Win 10 ("high definition Audio Device") I hear speakers/headphones and switching between the speakers and the works of helmet very well but my laptop computer microphone does not work ("not connected").

    (2) if I use the latest Dell driver (IDT 92HDxxx HD Audio Driver) I hear initially via speakers, but as soon as I plug in headphones I can't switch back to the speakers (i.e. switching between the speakers and the headphones does not work) and my laptop computer microphone works.

    I would be happy to provide more information and help to debug.

    Hi, John. It's quite nervous of a member of the MS forum say that Dell is responsible to operate Windows. It wasn't Dell but MS who claims that Win10 has most of the necessary drivers and if not then the drivers Win7 and Win8.1 would work.

    johnsdagg
    I was hoping that maybe Dell could find in the goodness of their hearts to a updated driver IDT 92HDxxx... pretty please?

    I doubt that it is possible for two reasons. Dell went from IDT Realtek as the audio seller so probably not more a a contract with IDT, if IDT even exist anymore. A year ago IDT was acquired by another company. I do not know its current status, but it is sure that the acquiring company will not be upgrading old software IDT. Reference Dell itself does not write the audio drivers. Even when IDT was the seller I believe that Win7 drivers are the final versions - no version 8 or 8.1 I think.

    johnsdagg
    If I use the built-in driver to Win 10 ("high definition Audio Device") I hear speakers/headphones and switching between the speakers and the works of helmet very well but my laptop computer microphone does not work ("not connected").

    The native Windows audio driver can't stand struggling external mic. It is a MS 'known problem '. MS must implement a decision-making support, but there is no indication that it will be. Meanwhile, you have two workaround solutions. You can switch backwards between the natives and the IDT drivers. At some point Win10 could leave the IDT driver works correctly. Or get an outlet cheap usb audio to the microphone. Struggling running out-audio driver usb Windows native usb and so dependent no driver IDT.
