    I'm having a problem with the Photoshop Elements Organizer (version 8) - whenever I start it, it blocks immediately.

The editor, however, works very well.

    Anyone have any idea on what is causing this problem and I can try to fix it?

    Try to rename the folder 'Organizing Elements' and 'Online Services '. These files are present in C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Adobe. After you rename these files, must run the application without crashing.

    If the home page button works fine, but your shortcut on the desktop to send you to the wrong page, the shortcut can be hacked.

    Right click on the shortcut icon > properties > Shortcut tab

    For Windows XP (default location), the goal should be either not less that what follows. If there are extra things, empty:

    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

    If that checks well, hmm, I wonder if you could have a hidden extension? Extensions are unable to hide mode without failure of Firefox.

    You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

    After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

    Any difference? Also, you can visit the page modules. Either:

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

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then see if something new appears at the time where you posted from your list:

  • Since the last update issue 31, whenever I start Firefox It controls compabillitity with Add ons

    Every time I start Firefox I get on my desktop check Add ons compabillity and Firefox open, never had this before, how can this be resolved.

    I've updated from version 25 (25.1?) to 31 version and updated all my modules at a time. Whenever I started Firefox it would check compatibility and open the pages for all the Add-ons. I tried all of the suggestions posted here without success. I loaded a backup of my system and just tried to update the add-on and it's the same thing. What I was finally load a backup of my system, delete all the Add-ons, Firefox update and then go back new versions of Add-ons one at a time. It was a chore, but it worked.

  • tabs disappear whenever I start Firefox 19

    I normally Firefox put in place to have 5 tabs pinned and 2 or 3 tabs recorded since the previous session of Firefox. Since I have updated to version 19 FF, I lose 1 pinned tab whenever FF is started. I tried the fixes suggested on the issue of corruption of sessionstore.js file, checked to make sure that Firefox 'Will Remember history' is selected, the file used > Exit to leave FF. Whenever I start Firefox, it will miss a pinned tab (not all, just one). I started with 5 and I can go out, and then launch FF and only 4 pinned tabs are open. Repeat and only 3 are open, etc. If I have a normal tab open when I go out, it is saved & opens the next time FF starts, it seems open tabs is saved, but pinned tabs are closed. In addition, it is always the second pinned tab which is lost (counting from left to right). When there is only one tab left, pinned next time I restart FF, a normal tab is closed. Every time you start after that will close another normal tab until one pinned tab is on the left (the left most pinned tab). I have not tried to restart FF with only the one pinned tab, but essentially is that I lose 1 tablet recorded each time I have quit and restart and seq. anyone else see this behavior or have any suggestions to fix?

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.

    Alternatively, you can check for problems with the cleaning and security software.

    Try to start the computer in safe mode Windows with network support (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if that helps.

    I want desperately to upgrade Firefox to version 10 of version 9, but whenever I try, I'm stuck with FF10 control addons for compatibility and opening the homepage whenever I starts the browser. I keep having to go back to version 9 to solve this problem.

    Sorry to be a while back! It tried unsuccessfully so this AM, gritted my teeth and deleted the FF programs folder and downloaded and installed FF 10.01. He was still struggling with the same problem. Went in the appdata folder and two files sessionstore.js there. Delete both, restarted the browser and no verification of the compatibility of the modules was done at first upward and the additional tab for welcome to FF was the opening is no longer all seems to work as it should and I did not lose any of my settings... Thanks for trying to help, and I hope that my solution helps someone else who could this experience in the future. Hoping that the next update will smoother!
