Firefox Support Forum

When I log ion to my computer and the desktop shows up all of my icons that were on my desktop are no longer there. Then a virus message pops up and asks me if I would like to buy some antivirus software and then a error report shows up and it ask me if I would like to send the error report out and then it gives me the option if I do not want to send it out.

I was adding my husb as a user with no passwords ever , except for certain programs we are both disabled. I restarted the computer and in the next session I unzipped a folder attempted to re-zip it would not allow me to do so. I shut the system down for the night the day I was missing. My email is the only thing I use in live and I cannot access it. If there is anything you can do I would sincerely appreciate.

I have downloaded 3.6 and tried to install by dragging icon into applications (in OSX). The action is not allowed due to "insufficient privileges". But this is when logged in as the administrator.

A friend did a friend did a horrible and stupid thing. He answered the wrong way when asked how to handle WMA files. He chose iTunes (thinking "why would you choose an MS product?). Now iTunes refuses to let it go. We've even re-installed Flip4Mac. Before wiping his drive and re-installing Leopard, then Firefox. I was wondering if there was a way to reverse his answer. We can't get iTunes to NOT open. Is the setting in iTunes? Is it in Firefox? If so, can you delete the WMA line and start all over? If so, how? You can't right click the line and there seems to be no way to delete. When you look at the list of how it's handled, why is one thing (quicktime player) default but the plugin is what you choose? The MIME screen is incredibly esoteric. Is it in System Prefs> Quicktime?

Also, is there any ETA when gov agencies will stop using wma forever?

thanks

btw- we've messed with it so much I really want to delete the WMA MIME line, re-install F4Mac and try that route.

I want to clear the cache and also to eliminate the "Most visited" option. I followed the directions provided by Firefox and they don't work. Any suggestions, besides eliminating Firefox ?

I want to change the security settings on my e-mail. I provided a password once and now it opens without one. I want to keep my messages private.

Windows Outlook Express in the default email program on the computer. When looking to send an email from a link within Firefox, it looks to send it using my GMail account, not the default program. Outlook Express is is the default in Firefox. All other options have been deleted from the selection, yet it still goes to GMail. Any ideas?

No matter how often I check the volume mixer and confirmed that it was indeed up, Firefox refuses to play audio on videos or music streaming. I updated Adobe Flash as well and nothing happened. I don't want to start downloading random stuff because I don't really know what I'm doing, but I really don't know how to fix this. Any help is greatly appreciated :)

It's not a huge deal, but it's quite annoying: I believed I got rid of MyWebSearch from my computer completely (it's not on my add-remove programs list) and there isn't even a toolbar that I can see on Firefox or IE. However, whenever I try to search from the website bar rather than the search bar (excuse me for the lack of proper vocabulary, I'm not savvy with little details) MyWebSearch is used rather than Google. I have no idea how or why, and when I tried to find the files that potentially caused this (C: - Program Files - Mozilla Firefox - chrome) they were not there. Should I re-install FF or is there anything I can do? (Note: I have Malwarebytes and Norton installed and both have found nothing, if that helps at all.)

== I began using FF again 2-3 weeks ago
