Why not fix update firefox? It must be refined as it is easier to restore the settings, it caused more problems than he solved

Refresh caused more problems than he solved Firefox.
I was shocked at the time where I had to restore my settings of waste.

I believe it may be possible to write a refresh script that does not get rid of all custom settings and bookmarks.

Sometimes it's the settings or something in the user profile that
the origin of the problem. The update / reset deletes all.

Look at your desktop. You see a folder called; Old Firefox?

  • restore the settings before the Vista views update!

    Impossible to expand the view when you use programs such as pogo.  Game screen is very small and does not help when you use the zoom to enlarge.  I used the restore function with a date prior to the update and everything works fine until windows update runs.  That mus increase the size of police etc, but can't do anything with the backgrounds of games or office and others.

    Hello
     

    1. as you mentioned programs like pogo, it means that you have downloaded the game and installed or you are play online?
    2. in addition, as you have said that you need to increase the font size which means the resolution of the screen, the font size of Internet Explorer?
     
    Method 1.
    After you install the update, try to update the graphics card drivers and see if that solves the problem.
    Note: Create a system restore point before you do.
    For more information see the links below:
     

    Method 2.
    Also check if there are settings from the game to increase the resolution of the game.
    You can contact support (Pogo games editor) EA games.
    http://Games-Forum.Pogo.com/categories/list.page
     
    Method 3.
    Since System Restore returns to the same resolution. It is possible that one of the update is at the origin of the conflict. Install the updates one by one and check. Let us know what updates are at the origin of the conflict. If the update for the graphics driver you can ignore it. Check the hitory on this update update and remove it. See below about the same.

    I hope this helps.

  • Update Windows Crititcal 7/15/1010 has restored the settings of the computer as if it was brand new.

    Update of Crititcal title: original Windows 7/15/1010

    When I closed my computer last night, the computer indicated that an update critical would be complete installation on closing down.  This morning after my computer (with Windows 7) has been turned on, I found a lot of programs assists or reset to original settings (means that all previous information/data alleys) where I have to configure all settings.  It's as if it was a new computer where I have to install my security, games, configure Outlook Office, etc. !!!   I raised my system retore and it showed my last checkpoint was the critical update!  There is no other control point!   Has anyone else had this problem with this last update?  I feel I have to do everything from scratch.

    Hi Krakenlord,

    -You have several user accounts on your computer?

    Step 1

    If you have several user account make sure you have loged in your user account profile and check if you can see the files.

    Step 2

    Start the computer in safe mode and check if you can see the files and program and post the result. To boot to the desktop in safe mode keep tapping key F8 during restart. Once you see the option to start in safe mode select and press to enter.

    Access the link to learn more about how to start the computer in safe mode:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Step 3

    I would say also allows you to perform a system of restore from safe mode to check if you have any other old restore points, and if you can restore the computer to an earlier date where you had all the files on the computer and see if you can get it back.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.

    3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

    4. click on finish.

    The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

    Access the link below to learn more about how to repair the operating system and how torestore configuring operatingsystem to a point in time earlier in Windows:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-system-restore

    Step 4

    I also suggest you to access the folder of the user on your C drive and check for any other user account. If you find any other user account tries to access the folder of the user account and check if you can find the missing files in the folder of user account and post back the result.

    I hope this helps. Let us know the result.

    Thank you and best regards,

  • Why my entire collecton of photos in 'Photos' suddenly get blurred, and how to restore the order that they were in?

    It's the kind of thing that makes me want to destroy all the computers and go back to the 20th century. My computer is brand new. My virus protection, etc. works normally. I am a novice and do not want to do anything with my computer at all. But I have a collection of several thousand photos and I spend all my free time in order to get them. The order is in no way 'logic', there is no way to keep this collection except move carefully every image in one place. So yesterday, as I move an image to somewhere else in the sequence, the screen went white for a second, and then all of the thousands of photos were in what looks to be like a random order. And now, whenever I turn on the computer, the photos appear in the same order and then scrambled a progress bar green that I've not seen before travel the length of the upper part of the screen and then the images become a garbled second order, which has also no connection with that I have established with months of work. What happens here? And how can I back order and avoid that it never happen again, assuming I ever force put in several additional months of work on this?

    Hello

  • Why not sierra update for mp 2010?

    Hi all

    I have a mac pro mid-2010 / 5.1 with 10.11.6. Today, I had to look the system updates. There were shown raw update 6.21, affinity 1.4.3 and safari 10.

  • Why not make updates from Microsoft directly instead of third-party vendors for - driver Intel PRO/100 MT of support

    I hesitate to update software as an application for a pop up on my machine to microsoft. My machine works fine now.

    Microsoft is unable to provide the drivers of someone else for you unless the other company (Intel in this case) asks them to do by subjecting the driver to the Microsoft Hardware Quality Labs.  Intel does not choose to do so in all cases, instead, they provide their own updates.

  • Update Firefox, now I get an error when you try to open the .mkv files, but not other video files

    I created an html page of cinema at home with links to movies on my hard drive. I have two types of links or href = 'file:///C:/Media/movies/Looney Tunes/MainMovie/Vol 1 Disc 3/VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS. IFO' for normal DVD or href = "file:///C:/Media/movies/Blu-ray/Lorax/mkv/THE_LORAX/THE_LORAX.Title800.mkv" for blu - ray. Both have worked fine (click on the link and the movie starts to play with Media Player Home Cinema) for a few years until what I recently upgraded to firefox. The .ifo files still open as usual, but now blu - ray links take me to a gray page that says "Video cannot be read because the daughter is corrupt" with a large "X" over it. If I open the html page in Internet Explorer and click on the link, it works very well (blu - ray opens by using Media Player Home Cinema). Also, if I directly open the .mkv files, they play very well (open using MPHC). Thanks for any help!

    Change your links to include the attribute type with the value of video/x-matroska . Example:

    <a type="video/x-matroska" href="file:///C:/My%20Videos/Cooking/Making%20Gingerbread.mkv">How to make gingerbread</a>

    I also used to get the same behavior with files from web sites, when I had the extension of InlineDisposition installed.
