  • Password box no longer works.

    Latest update Firefox deleted or disabled my Inbox password, with which I store all of my passwords. Currently, with a choice between dumping password box or my beloved Firefox, I would dump Firefox because ALL my passwords are there. This is the worst reason to migrate to Google Chrome, I hate and avoid almost as much as MS IE, to use them only when absolutely necessary. Firefox tries to make it unpleasant?

    Hi Charles, PasswordBox unfortunately not updated to work with Firefox 40 (last update was in May). The former used extension module 'widget' to add the button to the toolbar and the module no longer exists in Firefox.

    Function of a user in another thread, McAfee said that they are aware and working on an update, but no time was given.

    If your online life cannot continue without PasswordBox, you may need to do one of the following for now:

    (1) use a different browser for sites where you need PasswordBox to open session

    (2) selector to use regular Firefox using the version with Extended Support Release of Firefox, which is designed for companies, but works on all versions of Windows 8.1 (all ESR: http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/); or

    (3) go to Firefox 39.0.3, bearing in mind security issues (install an older version of Firefox).

  • All content tiles missing and integrated PDF reader and password manager no longer works after update to 34.0

    Hello
    After that I updated to 34.0 on OSX 10.9.5 (auto update comprehensive), I noticed that all of the content of the tile is missing. Before the update, I have seen a lot of tiles when I open a new tab. Even after a few navigation, no content appears (I see only an array of blank tiles). I went between white classic, bright, cooler. No effect.

    In addition, integrated in the viewer PDF does not work. All the time I click on the pdf link, I see the window to download the PDF with the title "enter the name of the file to save on...» ». Before the update, PDF Viewer has not worked, no problem. After that I noticed the problem, I checked that the preferences-> requests and confirmed that the action to the 'Portable Document Format (PDF)' content type is set to "Preview in Firefox".

    In addition, Manager of integrated password also stopped working. He remembers no new password. It provides no password already known on the site where he provided automatically the account and the password before the update. I checked the preferences-> Security-> saved passwords. There are a lot of passwords to remember (remember before the update).

    I re - install the firefox manually. It does not help.

    Can someone help me? Is there any information I can provide to sort my problem?

    You can check for problems with preferences.

    Delete possible user.js and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problem.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

  • My master password suddenly no longer works, can not access e-mail

    I tried to reset my password, as described in the help section. He said the password was reset... but what? He never asks me what I want to reset the password! So I try to log in again, and the same thing happens, suddenly is a password that works well for a long period is no longer accepted. Could someone else have reset it?

    No use sending answer to my address, [email protected], because I can't access it. Please send to [email protected].

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Are you sure that you ask about your email password? The password has nothing to do with the receipt of your e-mail.

    Your email password is given with your email provider. You need to work with them to reset your password by e-mail. Go on their mail or e-mail web help page and look for a link to reset your password. Thunderbird has nothing to do with it.

  • Windows 8 fingerprint reader no longer works (need to Flash the BIOS to fix)

    I have a DV6-7014nr bought around September of 2012.  I have upgraded to WIndows 8 when it first came out.  I had no problem with the reader of fingerprints on Windows 7, but do not use for a long time.

    As the subject says.  I can run it for a few weeks (on Windows 8), and the fingerprint reader stops working.  None of the biometric devices are listed in the Device Manager.  If I try to load the driver, it does nothing, as if the player is simply not there the responsibility of the driver closes just (with no message).

    Peripheral Biometirc in the Panel control says there is no biometric device found and simplepass opens without the fingerprint reader recognized.

    The only thing that solves this is my BIOS which comes Insyde to re-flashing. It is noted in the setup of the BIOS relating to biometric devices.  I have just discovred that BIOS update solves a problem because there was an update that I applied.  Have to reapply the update of the BIOS to fix this seems excessive to us.

    Added March 29, 2013:

    I just re-applied the BIOS two days ago and already the figerprint teader plug working again.  I tried a hard reset (because I saw that as a solution previously, and it is easier and faster to re-flashing the BIOS).  Who has shut down, remove the battery, now the power for 30 seconds button, boot the system without the battery.  He has not fixed the problem and I can't even understand why the fingerprint reader keeps disabling.  A re-BIOS flash solves the problem, it seems that the problem must be with the BIOS software.  Oh I also had turned off the "Allow windows to turn off the device to save power" for the biometric device before he went kaput.  It doesn't stop of is suckier.

    There must be a better way.

    Thank you

    Hello cjwh888,

    Try to restore your BIOS then use Recovery Manager to restore your software and drivers.

    Please let me know if it helps.

    Good luck!

  • Windows XP Fax Wizard no longer works on my laptop is there a solution for this?

    Hi scissell,

    1. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP 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.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

    How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click on Start , then run.

    (b) type msconfig , and then click OK.
    The System Configuration utility dialog box appears.

    (c) click on the general tab, click Normal Startup - load all device drivers and services , and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted, click restart to restart the computer.

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a corrupt system file search.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows XP installation CD.

    do you think really that the windows team should deal with this issue, but hey ho only paid more than 600 books for her (sarcastic) should probably have to have an apple I'm sure that they don't block you on a product you have the money paid for!

    and then said to beg the assistance community (much hope you get paid for it btw)

    Sorry to be wasting your time really don't know why Microsoft cannot give me a new code or just to validate ive got. Thank you for your time and effort finally someone is willing to help.

    don't know how to take this answer seems a bit sarcastic to me.

    I had to take it to a repair shop, and the license was upgraded to windows 7.

    the guy said, very probably, it was due to an update so Microsoft computer continues Microsoft's monopoly people mess up or slow it down systems then offer an upgrade at a cost.

    its not like apple alone there have admitted doing this with here I phones

    It's not sarcasm; What are the rules of licensing.

    You can not transfer OEM licenses between computers/laptops.

  • e-mail password is no longer works and cannot change it in the settings not to use Thunderbird

    After using your e-mail program on my Mac, I get an error message now my password is incorrect (which it isn't). I searched your 'help', but he only directs me to reset my password for my Mac. One would think confirming / changing his password would be in the settings of the account (but not with your product). As your e-mail program is much too difficult to use, I'll get a new email client (and browser). Poorly designed and extremely difficult to change the password.

    I suggest Mail. It comes with your paid for operating system and is really simple and the people at Apple. Your dollars at work.
