I'm trying to reset my password for Firefox sync, without success. When I enter my email address and click on 'next' I get "unexpected error." I don't want to create a new account with a different email address.

Any help is appreciated.

Hello jc_denton,

The reset Firefox feature can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox to its State default factory while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies and other essential information.

Note: After Firefox reset, you will lose all extensions, toolbar customizations, and certain preferences. See article Firefox Refresh - reset modules and parameters for more information.

To reset Firefox:

  1. Open the troubleshooting information page using one of the following methods:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      and select troubleshooting information. Should open a new tab containing your troubleshooting information.

    • If you are unable to access the Help menu, type Subject: support in your address bar to bring up the troubleshooting information page.
  2. At the top right of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox" which looks like this:

    . Click on it.

  3. Firefox will close and reset. After it's done, Firefox will display a window with information that is imported.
  4. Click Finish and reopen Firefox.

This corrects the problem? Please report to us!

Thank you.

  • Get "pdftopdf quit unexpectedly" error when you try to print

    I'm trying to print on a printer Epson Stylus Photo R2400 connected to the Mac Mini. I tried to reinstall the printer driver. Did not work. I then redownloaded the sw Epson printer (has removed the printer from the printers installed and selected again - reinstalled in the system preferences, he got an error message that the printer driver is missing some parts and I would like to fix it - I clicked on repair and it was installing something.) Later he has been admitted in the list of printers.

    I also downloaded the application Epson uninstall to completely remove everything and the printer driver before reinstalling the sw. I get the above error and cannot print. I can print on my Brother laser printer, so this isn't in itself a printing problem, but somehow I bollixed the Epson driver or something in the operating system it uses / needs to be able to print.

    The driver appears to be installed correctly, I can * see * the printer - I can open the printer utility application and work in (checking ink, the ink levels, etc.).

    But whenever I try to print on the Epson inkjet, I get the error "pdftopdf quit unexpectedly.

    Would appreciate any suggestions.

  • I can't go back to my home page. It means I have something open when I try to "RESET FIREFOX' HELP!

    Please help me. I can't get homepage back even when I try to 'RESET FIREFOX' it indicates just that his embarrassment and im old and I have no idea what to do? I'd appreciate any help. God bless you, jeri

    Sorry, it's a little confusing. You get the screen "embarrassed" If Firefox crashed and is not able to automatically restore your previous session.

    If you uncheck old windows and tabs, Firefox should start with your home page after that.

    Or it happens every time you exit Firefox and restart it?

    What page you want as your home page? You can check the setting in the Preferences dialog box. These articles describe the steps:

    If Firefox is ignoring your homepage layout and a different page, it could be caused by one of your modules, maybe one who snuck in unexpectedly.

    You can view your extensions and disable those unknown or unwanted page modules. Either:

    • Command + shift + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions.

    When you first get Firefox, it searches your system for extensions, so you can see something associated with your security software. But way General, extensions are optional and you do not need to allow an any of them, except if find you them useful.

    Hello

    What is the exact error message received when the problem occurs?

    Methood 1:

    Auditor of file system (CFS) scan to fix all of the corrupted system files. To do this, follow the steps in the following link:

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833 

    Method 2:

    You can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    I suggest to put the computer in a clean boot state, and check if the problem persists, see the link:
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Note: See step 7; Reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting is performed.

    Method 3:

    You can temporarily disable the security software and check if the problem occurs. Check out the following link to do the same thing:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

    Warning: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    I hope this helps! Let us know if you need more assistance.

  • Error when you try to run an application that worked when built with 8.6

    I have a simple program that I wrote in the 8.6 version that I've never had a problem generation and execution of applications built with it to 8.6.  Two weeks ago, I got 2009 by mail because we had very recently purchased 8.6 and I get errors when you try to run an application built with the same code using 2009.  The error relates to the Mean.vi.  He claims that he can't find it.  The error I get is as follows:

    Error loading VI 'NI_AALBase.lvlib:Mean.vi '.  LabVIEW support 3 error code: could not load façade.  I don't have access to the front panel of this vi, so I wonder if there is a problem with the runtime and not my code.  Please answer as soon as possible because it will quickly start to the impact of my calendar.  Thank you.

    Hello!

    The same problem ?

    I talked with my local OR technical support team. The application now works without any problem.

    Rule of thumb: when creating a Setup program do not forget that the option "Run Time Engine xxxx" in the category "Other installers" is selected despite the fact that the runtime is already installed.
