Several major problems with Firefox - crash, loss of bookmarks and history, totalling amnesia
On my Windows 7 Professional 64-bit system, I met worse problems I've had with Firefox (all versions, I tried the oldest and the newest, who currently use 37). One day, I rebooted by computer, and when I started Firefox, it was completely broken. He was not able to load my favorites, TabGroupsManager could not load my recorded session and it crashed when I tried to search Google or visit several Web sites. I couldn't fix it and migrate Pale Moon until exactly the same thing happened there. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled, but now whenever I open it, it's as if it was just installed - no profile information, no Add-ons, no Favorites, absolutely nothing. Application data HAVE folders for profiles that have been opened every time - Firefox does not access and does not recognize that they exist.
I'm totally lost and at the end of my mind. None of the aid or other sites have been any help at all. The problem is exclusive to a single computer - two other computers I've used do not have this problem at all. Help, please!
(Additional note: when I met the first problems of Pale Moon, it gave me an error that it could not access the bookmarks and history because another application has their use.) This error never appeared in Firefox, but given identical patterns of problems and the fact that the pale Moon is based on Firefox, I think it might be relevant).
Well, I think that the problem at least explained that now and patched up right now. I went to a COMPUTER specialist at work and after work things have stabilized.
The computer I'm is a Department that usually connects to a server. The profile data is actually stored via this server, and when I lived the problems, I was at home and that it was not connected to the server said. Normally it is supposed to be a current synchronization that stores things like that to a task on my computer - but for some reason what not really, or at least not properly. That's why I couldn't find a profile.ini file - it was only stored in a place that could not access the computer. After getting to work and do a few random files and other reading, Firefox and Pale Moon are fully functional again, and I can't find the files profile.ini appropriate on the server (they are not yet on my computer, and I don't know how to read locally).
The best solution to the problems 'offline' we had was through a VPN so that I always have access to the server. I would like to get the files on my computer so that I wouldn't have to worry about this, but it's a question that needs to be addressed separately.
Thanks to Seraph for their help in this confusing issue. I have an idea of what to look for if something like this happens again.

Have several major problems with cs6 Adobe Indesign trial version
Hello
I am a recent graduate of product design that uses Adobe University packages (photoshop cs4, illustrator cs4, indesign cs4) and now that I have left, I'm about to buy the new version of InDesign CS6. Before I bought it, I decided to download the trial version to make sure it works all.
Unfortunately, many features are not available to me:
- the selection and direct Selection tools wont let me click on it - impossible to resize objects or click on the different images
- everything on the side windows to the right (paragraph pages, shades, colors ect.) doesn't seem to work. They are visible, but when I select one of them, it won't let me click on anything whatsoever on the Panel, which means that I can not add new pages of the document, I can't change the colors, shapes or anything like that.
Very annoying, because I only have two days of my trial left to sort the problem out, or he's looking for little probable that I will buy the full version.
Specification of the laptop:
Reference Dell xpz 15z (bought in 2012), processor Intel core i7, 8 GB of RAM, 1 TB HDD, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
See the signs and tools InDesign respond not to the clicks of the mouse (Windows 7/Vista)
It is a known problem with Aero and large fonts.

I am having major problems with my emails. I can send emails OK but I can't receive them. I use Outlook Express. When I first turn on outlook express, emails start coming, but then outlook express crashes. I disable outlook express and start again. My emails are stuck in the Orange webmail box until the last email is downloaded. This means that I sometimes get the same time to send four or five. I called technical support Orange several times, but they say it's a problem of microsoft. I use Windows XP.
original title: I can't receive emails from outlook express.Hi Mike,.
Make sure that you have not activated your antivirus software analysis of electronic mail. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 which is often a problem with receiving and sending a message.
Then, try to go to file | Identities and setup a new identity. This will give you a new message store and a new registry hive (where all the settings and account info is). Add your email account and see if it works very well. If it sticks sometimes, make sure that you are not setting to check messages too often (like every 3 minutes or somesuch). You can also try to increase the timeout for the server where this is a problem (Tools |) Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced). See if who deals with issues "" OE gel. If Yes, then you can use the file | Import | Messages to bring them from the old identity.
I do not know that moving to Outlook might solve the problem, because they both use the same mechanism to retrieve messages. If you still have problems, come on and generate a log file and when OE freezes, which could give some indication of what is the underlying problem. Make sure that you disable the log file later, because this file grows enormously and can cause problems if it becomes too large.

I had any other problems with it. At least once a day, it crashes. It crashes even on mozilla.com with no other open tabs. Sites are slow. Much slower than they should be. Google takes a good minute to 2 minutes to load. It's a roll of the dice for me if I have any bookmarks when I load firefox.
I did not have all these problems with Firefox 4.
There could be a problem in your Firefox profile. For example, one of your modules may cause the problem. If you're ready to try some troubleshooting, you could test in Firefox Safe Mode, which temporarily disables your add-ons.
I recommend you backup your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See your backup information. (You can copy your profile folder Firefox together somewhere outside the Mozilla folder).
On the Help menu, choose "restart with disabled modules. If you can't go to the Help menu until Firefox freezes or breaks down, hold down the SHIFT key when you restart Firefox. More information: Safe Mode.
Firefox works normally with disabled modules?

In response to your question, because security vulnerabilities, roll back to Firefox 4.0.1 is discouraged. 3.6.18 Firefox would be the safer choice.
Here is the process to roll back:
First of all, I recommend you backup your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See your backup information. (You can copy your profile folder Firefox together somewhere outside the Mozilla folder).
Then, download and save Firefox 3.6 on your desktop for later installation. http://www.Mozilla.com/Firefox/all-older
Firefox is closed 5.
You could install Firefox 3.6 on it (many have reported success) or you can uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, the entire program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left. If there are serious questions, please post back with details.

There is a problem with Firefox 'remembering' my Verizon residential account password. Using Firefox, I am obliged to enter my ID and password every time I closed my browser and then restart or close my e-mail for a while, even though I checked the option "keep me connected" significant given by Verizon. I spent a lot of time today working with the technical support of Verizon and they (and I) can verify that it's specific to Firefox and IE is not the case. So far, this seems to be limited to the connection from Verizon, but there may be other affected accounts protected online. If it helps, I run Firefox under Windows 7 with Norton Security and the active Norton toolbar. It is a real pain and needs to be repaired.

I'm having a lot of problems with firefox and cannot figure out how to get help. It all started when I updated to 13. I get all kinds of advertising popups, I can't play a game on FaceBook called Farm Town at all, and I get a popup of AVG on the cookies that I can't get rid of. These issues are causing me to use Chrome quite often, although I like Fox better. I've searched and searched how to get help and find nothing. How can I get personalized technical help? These problems will not occur in Chrome at all. Thank you.
Do a check with some malware malware, analysis of programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.- http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php - Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

I don't know exactly when it happened, but one day my search bar Google turned blue when I tried to kick it. I couldn't see what I was typing. I did some research and some forums that it was a problem with Firefox. Have you heard of this? Is there a solution for this?

Download a file would normally bring up an option to open the file with the appropriate program or save it - for some reason any now just downloading it straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else? It is very frustrating - sometimes, you want the first opened file so it can be discarded or stored in a different location.
Find the type of file in the Firefox -> Options -> Applications Panel, open its menu drop-down and select 'ask '. To reset all the actions of download, delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in your Firefox profile folder (or rename the mimeTypes.rdf X if you want to save as a backup). The file will be regenerated with all types of files, restore the default actions.
For more information, see application Panel - set how Firefox handles different file types and change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file .

Since the last update of Firefox (Version 4.0.1) I do not see a security lock when I connect my two web sites to secure Bank so am forced to use Internet Explorer for internet banking. I contacted the St George Bank and the ANZ Bank and both say that the problem with Firefox, not their systems. They advise also strongly me to not perform Internet banking unless the security padlock closed is visible in the window secure. The padlock is not visible when I connect secure site of PayPal. Before the upgrade, this problem did not exist and there is no when I use IE. Firefox is my favorite browser.
The status bar everything has been redesigned, so now allows you to check if the site is secure the box to the left of the address (green, blue or plain).
