Update FIREFOX 22.0 hangs the computer
I've updated this morning, but when the watched videos on almost any site that I would get a computer crashed almost every time usually freeze first, then goes to blue screen. It never happened before that after updating to the new version of Firefox. Its the reason why I stopped using chrome and since they helped me to find the problem. I hope this time I get help and not the cold shoulder...
Cold shoulder?
It is a standard orientation that addresses the most common issues with the Flash Player. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:
(1) make sure that all recorders/downloaders who interact with the Flash media are as up-to-date as possible, or turn them off.
(2) disable graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox and Flash [particularly relevant for blue screen crashes]
(A) in Firefox, uncheck the box here and restart:
the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > advanced > General > "use hardware acceleration when available.
(B) in Flash, see 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 protected mode (Windows Vista/7/8)
See this article from Adobe support under the heading of 'Last resort': Adobe Forums: how to fix protected Flash Player for Firefox mode?

Norton has just released an updated version of the toolbar that is compatible with Firefox 12.
You must use Liveupdate to update your Norton version 19.7.0.9 product, and then select the toolbar in the Firefox Add-ons page.

Th.is is very young in the last days I did the update and it started having the problem. Perhaps Mozillo may wish to review their last update. Before that, I've never had a problem
I've upgraded to a new version of Firefox 41.1 when I received the message that he was available. The problem seemed to go away when I did.

This morning at appx. 1:30 AM PST, I installed the latest important updates from the Windows Update Manager on my HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop. I did manually, by a double click on the little icon in the toolbar and clicking on the button install. Once the update had completed, I clicked on the "restart later" button and close my computer using the Shut Down command - the usual symbol "click here to close and complete the installation" didn't appear. I thought it was a little weird, but chalked it up to the fact that I had taken the lead and made the installation.
About an hour and a half later, after being able to get to sleep, I decided that I would try to do a job. I pressed the power button and my computer started well upward, giving me the ' now install, update (1/3) [percentage] completed. Do not turn off your computer. "message. Which is quite normal, let him do his thing without turning it off.
The update is completed and I am greeted by my office. Displays the logon to Gmail Notifier window, and that's when my problems began: I tried to move the arrow to disappear, and the arrow has not moved. The circle of "transformation" had, next to the arrow, so I thought it must be a minor hiccup. I've waited, waited and waited... But even after all of my normal startup programs loaded, my mouse has failed.
Pressing the Windows key to open the menu start does not work, either; It was as if everything had been disconnected. After waiting a few minutes, I decide that maybe I just need to restart and, given that my keyboard was not working, I pressed and held the power button until the system off (I know, I know, it's a horrible thing to do).
I waited a minute, and then you press the power button. The lights came on, the fan spun, but the screen remains black as if I did nothing. I waited, because my computer arrived in the past tried to give me an attack of apoplexy by hanging several screens, but... nothing. The fan spun, the light shone their beautiful blue, but that's all.
The only thing I have changed or done differently was the updates, I have not dropped my computer; I've not spilled something on or in I have a Targus chill mat that I use religiously. I download attachments from people I don't know no/trust (I can't, my antivirus program deletes attachments in emails from spam); I use Firefox with NoScript and anti-ad; My AV/Antispyware/malware program is always up to date and six types of awesome and more.
My system is Windows Vista Home Premium on an HP Pavilion dv6000. I have an AMD Turion 64 x 2 processor and a Nvidia mobile graphics card (I don't remember exactly who he is; I can't the specs). I don't have a DVD of restoration, for reasons that did not need explores right now. I had my phone on... Two years, I think. I'll have to double check.
I can't start in safe mode, because I get nothing - no POST, no beeps, without bumps. The CD/DVD drive makes some noises, as he is looking for a drive (there isn't one in the drive), and that's it.
I think I have to take someone and make them open and see what's the problem, but I appreciate any thoughts/ideas/opinions/assistance that anyone can give. Thank you for your time and attention.
Alas, no, the screen seems to be fine. He had not been acting funny before that, in any case. I checked out, and the external monitor just went to sleep because there is no signal.
Thanks for taking a peek anyway. I guess it's a workshop for me and my laptop.

Failure of KB967912 Windows Vista updated 10 x today and the computer can't access internet
My new ACER Vista Office tried to install this update 10 x, today. It started while I was working this afternoon. Until that moment, I had a complete connectivity via a cable CAT5e LAN accessing a router and cable modem. Later, I lost the first internet and local network access. Before that, I had worked with Firefox, Windows Media, and financial software and everything was accessed successfully the ' net. Then, I tried to configure Microsoft Outlook 2007 to get my email. His inability to access my cable provider was the first idea I had that I didn't have connectivity.
Each time, I had the exclamation point on the stop switch and Vista stops with the view that he was installing "Update 1 of 1. However, whenever I rebooted the update didn't install. Also, I had to restart my modem and router every time to regain access to the internet for short periods of time; in less than 4 to 7 minutes, all access to the internet is lost again. The error code was Code BC2 the last couple of times, but before that I also got error Code 80200053 when an Office update also failed to install. (I was able to install the Office update successfully, after another restart and cycle the modem to regain power connectivity).
Help! FYI, I had to find another computer even to post this question!

First remove all the third-party RAM installed on the computer and re - built-in. Then, restart and test, whether the KIMBERLEY process continues to have a barrette of faulty RAM MEMORY.
Finally, what third party RAM brand has been installed? In these forums, because the iMacs are sensitive and benefit from the high quality of RAM, the Crucial two (buy it direct) and the two OWC (www.macsales.com) RAM are recommended because of their high quality and reasonable price. You can also have another hardware problem, in your case I would try to boot from the Partition Recovery (command + R to start) and open disk utility to see if the boot disk is found. You can also use Apple Hardware Test or Apple Diagnostics according to the age of the computer to run a test to see if two applications can detect any material error.

Can I update Firefox without going through the Google game?
I have a Google Nexus 5 last month. I discovered that for update of Google Chrome, I had to have a Google account. I have a Google account, but don't want to use it on my phone. Whenever I run Google Chrome, a message appears indicating that a new update is available. So, I decided to try Firefox. I discovered that if I tried to download Firefox on my phone on this site, asked me to create a new Google account or with an existing log.
I did some research and came across a question on this site that someone asked how they wanted to download Firefox for their phone without using Google Play. Someone posted the link "https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/latest/android/multi/". I activated the setting "Allow installation of applications from sources other than the game store". I was then able to download the file. I then installed Firefox.
I'll be able to update Firefox without having to use a Google account, because I downloaded Firefox on this site instead of Google game site? I want to keep Firefox on my phone, but not if I will not be able to update without a Google account as with Google Chrome. I don't know if support for reading is as good as Google Chrome, like when I went to a site where I could play a video in Google Chrome, the video wouldn't play.
Currently versions Release and beta will only updated if installed via Google Play.
Only the Aurora and the Nightly channel development (where 30.0a2 and 31.0a1 under development on) gets updates in apk manual install.

In windows 7, how to make firefox automatically starts when the computer is turned on
In Windows 7, how to make Firefox starts automatically when I turn on the computer. Note, I ask how to do this with Windows 7, xp, not vista.
You place a shortcut to open Firefox in the start menu > programs > startup folder.
It is essentially the same in all versions of Windows. -

Description of the problem: same problem on the computer desktop and laptop at the same time began: cannot install Windows updates (has no status)
No hardware changes or software recently made to the system: I followed the usual procedure to install Windows updates.
Method of connection: wireless
Technical expertise: intermediate level
Performed troubleshooting: because the error # 80071 A 90 type indicated by the system, I followed the instructions of Windows Help and Support, for example to run Microsoft Fix it which did not work; a more advanced method has also been used, who recommended to start Windows Update in Mode safe, then open Windows Update and install the updates and then restart normally. At this point, the problem was that any stage of Windows Update was available.
Hello amib004,
As much as I know, only Windows Update cannot be run in safe mode. That being said, I saw where install several updates may conflict with each other. Try to disable all updates installation and install the updates failed one at a time.

I made an update of the system to the original settings and everything seems to go as usual. While performiong the many windows updates, I noticed that the battery indicator indicates "no battery installed. I found a few solutions dealing with this problem (none of the other solutions worked) and that which is shown updating BIOS. I checked and the BIOS is F.07 and the current version is F.41. I downloaded the update and begun the process of Windows. The system restarts to start the process, but when the BIOS updated starts I get the following message:
"A significant update of the BIOS of the system is available, but the computer is not connected to the external power supply. Please connect the external power supply and then press Enter to continue. »
The computer is connected to the power of HP to the original address since it is the only way so he can turn it on. I tried removing the battery and from the update only the connected power and get the same result.
Either way, I tried to insert a different battery, I have more than one of these laptops.
Sorry
Please test the battery after boot press F2 HP Diagnostics

Windows Update causing various problem on the computer
Original title: bad update?
11/10, I downloaded and installed updates Vista KB2641690, KB2492386, KB972971644, KB2505189. There is more, but this format makes it very difficult to enumerate. My computer is now constantly lock up, and various closed functions (Explorer being the worst).
My computer works horribly since the update. Is there a way to reverse the updates, or should I use a fixed disc and just pray that I don't have reinstall?THXHello
Method 1: I suggest you to restore the computer to a point in the update got installed then install the update one at a time to determine the cause of the problem is updated:
System Restore: frequently asked questions
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/system-restore-frequently-asked-questions
Method 2: You can try to install the updates to the clean boot in order to verify if any third-party application is causing the problem:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: after a repair, be sure to configure the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.
Method 3: Try a manual install of update by downloading the update from the Microsoft Download Center:

Windows 7 updated 1 week ago disabled certain functions. Could not get the printer to work until I had spent more than a half-hour in line with HP technical support. He has kindly changed my settings so that updates do not load automatically. Now have the message there is new update. How decide whether or not it is safe to accept it? If it screws to the top of the computer, can I uninstall it? Should I just ignore the updates and keep the computer that works not changed? I am a 70 year old doctor and do not spend days trying to fix the problems with this computer.
Hi lagodasailing,
I understand that you would like to know how to find out if it is safe to install an update or not and if there is an option to uninstall or cancel the installation of this particular update when they create a mess in your computer.
First of all, I recommend you to continue the installation of any Windows Update, you are prompted to install. Windows updates are developed to close open ports, where a malicious user could get in your computer system.
If an unlikely result occurs after you install the update, you can perform system restore to return the system to its previous working state back. If it is not-so-good result is caused of the newly installed updates more than 1, it is recommended to try to install the updates one at a time to separate or to know that it really caused the problem and after that the results back here so we could help more you or give you advice.

After update today no response from the computer after restart on June 6, 2009
Hello. I just, I was wondering if someone who has updated XP today is having the same problems. I have updated the automatic updater and restarted as requested. The box came but no response no matter what, as if the hd was fried. All my fans turn on but nothing on the screen my DVD players don't openand even as the lights of the habit of my keyboard lights still. Any idea would be useful.
Try unplugging al computer, power, cable make sure ther is not a CD or a DVD inserted and try again.
If you get nothing on the screen is it possible that you're computer has hardware problems.
Simply plug the necessary input devices and the power to run the diagnostic tests. (mouse, keyboard, scree)
I wouuld also suggest to perform a complete diagnosis of a bootable CD.
Your computer has an integrated video card? If you have an external disconnect and add plug the monitor cable onboard video card.Thank you

Update has not installed while the computer shuts
When shutting down my computer is trying to install an update, but seems to stop and the computer never stops. I waited eight hours before restart my computer. What should I do to install this update and resolve this situation?
Download this particular update directly from Microsoft and see if that stops the problem.
