Since the update last night (05/02/2013) we are unable to access the internet.

My son says that there is an update last night when he was on the computer and the browser only, that we can use to access the internet now is Windows Internet Explorer. I tried all of the recommended patches and it still does not work.

Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox and all the leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click Exit in the file menu or Firefox) and confirm all future messages.
  3. Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the article to Uninstall Firefox .

IMPORTANT: Under Windows, the uninstall program has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you have not check this option. If not all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, customizations and other Firefox data user profile will be removed from your computer.

After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the folder of the program "Mozilla Firefox", located by default in one of the following locations:

  • (Windows 32-bit) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
  • (On 64-bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
  1. Go to the Windows Start menu and click on 'computer '.
  2. In the Explorer window that opens, double-click on disk Local (c) to open the C:\ drive.
  3. Find the folder "Program Files (x 86)" or "Program Files".
    • On 32-bit Windows, double-click the Program Files folder to open it.
    • On 64-bit Windows, you'll see a folder "Program Files (x 86)" AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the Program Files (x 86) folder.
  4. You are looking for a folder of Mozilla Firefox . If you find one, right click and select delete and confirm that you want to move the folder to the trash.

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.

Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • Updated FireFox, restarted and now it will not open the browser, even if the icon does not appear in my taskbar. Was fine until the update last night. Win8.1 running

    When I move the mouse over the icon in the taskbar that appears after that I have I dbl-clicked on the icon on the desktop, you can see a miniature version of the browser open as usual, unfortunately, the browser will not open upward on the desktop. I've deleted and reinstalled several times. It has worked very well until I did the update last night.

    Machine features:
    8.1 to win
    16 GB of RAM
    3 video concerts
    Processor AMD FX-6200 6 3.80 Ghz
    64 bit

    Sometimes, a window is "off the screen" somehow. Often, you can force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

    A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt.

    #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

    Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

    Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or the search for the start bar menu (or perhaps 8.x for Windows search of charms bar bar?) type or paste the following and press ENTER to drill down to the profiles folder:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

    Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    It's always a good idea to save and provide for system backups. All you have to do is pick up your Photoshop preferences. Don't copy a folder no big deal.

  • Updated Windows rebooted my computer and installed the updates last night and now my login password is different and I can not connect. Help?

    I put my computer to sleep last night and when I woke up this morning it has restarted and was sitting on the login screen.  This occurs when windows update itself - and I absolutely hate it by the way.

    When I entered my password, it says that it was incorrect.  I had the same password for a long time, so the only thing I can think is that the update of windows somehow changed my password.  I have Vista Ultimate 64 b.

    I did not create a password recovery disk - how can I get my account to change my password?

    Hello

    • Scenario 1: You recently set a new password for the protected administrator account. However, you don't remember the password.
    • Scenario 2: You type the correct password. However, Windows Vista or Windows 7 does not accept the password because the system is damaged.
    • Scenario 3: You delete a protected administrator account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.

  • After that windows update last night made him hit the space bar cursor go to start

    We have automatic updates on. Last night, 4 updates have been applied. This morning, the only way I can type anything is to use notepad and copy and paste into a window. Hit the space bar makes the cursor to the beginning of the sentence. I googled this and can't find answers. Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    Thank you for that. I ended up disabling some add-ons and then it worked fine.

  • Vista update last night, now I can not even do Windows or restore from safe mode.

    I have a Vista 64 bit machine.

    Last night my computer needed to install updates before shutting down, so I left it (as usual). This morning, when I turn my computer on it is stuck in a cycle of perpetual start-up. It restarts, concludes windows, gets a blue screen of death, reboots, etc etc. I disabled automatic reboot, so I could find the error message. It is a stop error message: 0x0000007E. I tried the analysis, through the prompt, the EFA one. It found errors but it unable to fix/replace.
    I can run my machine in safe mode. But I am unable to run a system restore. Using the option on the start menu, it gives an error message. If I use the suggested path since I was able to get the system restore to start via the command prompt. I tried several dates for a restoration of the system (the only thing that has happened to my machine in weeks is the installation of the update of mystery last night and windows update). The system restore is unable to complete. It comes up with the following error message: 0 x 80070057.
    I ran AVG and Malwarebytes. According to the two, which are updated, I do not suffer from any virus, spyware or anything. Now the only option that works in safe mode. Everything that involves repairs or last config of success (from the option menu F8 when reboot) just does enter the loop.
    Whenever I do windows an option, ask questions about the parameters name, workgroup and starting up my computer. I don't know if this affects what it is.
    Thanks to all those who might have a tip or two to throw my way. I'm about to pull out my hair.

  • Tools to keep the reset after update last night

    Hello

    I like a lot of other updates Photoshop CC 2015.1 and it seems is come with bugs. The nuances are too big even on smaller setting. Not sure why they felt the need to mess with that. In addition and it's a small complaint, but some of the tools that I have used in previous secession would reset. For example the Lasso tool will return to the regular lasso when I mainly use polygonal lasso. It resets to zero after that I changed the polygonal tool when opening Photoshop. I have not the slightest idea of why she done that now. If there are a few new setting, that I don't know it please advise.

    We are able to reproduce this problem on our end.

    the workaround is to disable the new start through preferences screen > General
