Mozilla Firefox errors

[gregrocker]

Programs list looks pretty clean. I'd uninstall all that Roxio crapware myself, if you don't put it to good use and I can't think of that would be unless it makes labels for CD's.

And I'd get rid of Yahoo Updater since you have no installed Yahoo programs, and Updaters are almost always spyware.

 

[PattiChati]

Is there a way I can get to ignat also?

 

[PattiChati]

Got rid of Roxio and don't ssee a yahoo updater. Here is a list of my addons and you can see which ones I did not disable and see if it is ok:

 

[gregrocker]

You need Adobe, Shockwave, Silverlight, Java.

What do you do with MS Office, Garmin and Windows Photo Viewer within a browser? These are unnecessary bloatware unless you specifically need them for a function within the browser, and they will prompt you if you do.

Patti, you are going to get confused with multiple threads open: http://www.sevenforums.com/browsers-mail/209075-yahoo-problems-2.html

Because different people will tell you completely different things at times, while trying to help you with your problem.

And as Greg has told you, keep adobe and the others he mentioned enabled, but do disable the others, they won't effect you at all, because it is inside of firefox, and you don't use them there. The only one you might use are garmin GPS and Live Photo, but I don't think you actually do. Do you use the garmin website or upload photos via live photo? I am 95% sure you don't. The programs on your computer are very different than the ones on your firefox

We won't lead you astray, I promise we know what we are doing. We won't have you remove stuff just because we don't like the program, but for good reasons.

And if suddenly you can't do something, tell us! We will fix it!

I user Windows Photo Viewer a lot. I guess I can just enable Garmin when I upload maps. I know there are a lot of friends. I couldn't get a response on Yahoo, didn't know what to do. I will disable what I was told. Will I still be able to use my copier?

 

[PattiChati]

Gregrocker - I wasn't ignorming you. I was just thinking if I disabled Microsoft I wouldn't be able to use Word or Access, etc and I used Windows Photo Viewer a lot and thought If I disabled it, it wouldn't work.

 

[PattiChati]

ok, they are disabled, just have the four enabled.

 

[DustSailor]

Hey patti,

Remember, add ons are not the actual programs. Disable live photo gallery in firefox and you will still be able to use it on your computer. It likely takes away the ability to upload the picture using the program, and believe me, it is something you DO NOT DO. Therefore you have no need of it in reality. But it isn't a problem program, so it doesn't matter in truth if you keep it enabled or disabled, but it can only benefit you if it is disabled, as it keeps firefox more 'clean'

The point is to see if you notice any difference after disabling all add ons that we told you to, including live photo gallery. This is what we are trying to do, it is only temporary, and as you said, you can always enable it again if you find you suddenly need it.

If after a little bit you see that yahoo is still giving you errors, then it should be fine to enable some more add ons as it has been proven that the add ons are not a problem. I will list some add ons that I recommend you do not enable, so keep reading! Let us know if you get computer freezes after you enable the add ons, or if anything else goes wrong!

You mentioned that your computer is running smoothly now, so the only thing we are trying to fix now would be Yahoo mail. If it still isn't working with add ons disabled, re-enable Garmin, ad block, and quicktime, and check that java, live photo gallery, adobe, and silverlight are enabled.

I recommend leaving your cannon printer and Microsoft word add ons Disabled in firefox, because you can still use both even without them loaded in firefox. The truth is they usually mess with or slow down firefox, and you will still be able to use both programs, even the printer!! (the printer can still print anything in firefox, even with the add on disabled, you don't need it).

Additionally, You will need to update all your add ons for stability! Use this website to do that: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
Let us know everything that says out of date, or to make it easier, snip it and post the picture here for us to see.

Either you or ignat said it was confusing having two threads, I thought you had to if you had two different problems. Anyway, I disabled everything you told me and sent a screenshot to the other thread of an error yahoo gives me sometimes:

 

[DustSailor]

patti,

Yes, have 2 threads for different errors, but I thought we were trying to fix 1 error, the yahoo mail error. Both threads are for that error, aren't they? What are all of the errors we are trying to fix, everything still going wrong with your computer?

Were you able to do any of the suggestions I posted, or do you need more time?

So when you get this error, you type "yahoo.com" into firefox and then click on the mail icon like i showed you, and it doesn't let you on? are you able to type in any information? Can you log out and log back in, or anything? How do you get to yahoo mail?

 

[PattiChati]

I just click on the house, or one of the tabs or anything and it will come up, I don't know why it has to give me those errors.
Hey, can you give me a way to contact you and ignat. Saidlyn or whatever her name is gave me yours. I would appreciate it since you guys are the only one I trust on this.
So far so good, but we will see. I sure deleted a lot of stuff!!

 

[DustSailor]

Ignat is right here, you can write him a message on his wall: Windows 7 Forums - View Profile: ignatzatsonic

If you want help on this thread, copy this website: http://www.sevenforums.com/browsers-mail/200378-mozilla-firefox-errors-10.html and paste to his wall as well

Writing on someone's wall lets everyone see it. If you want to find me and you can't see any pictures of my ship to click on, follow this method: http://www.sevenforums.com/browsers-mail/209075-yahoo-problems.html#post1752968

If you want to send a private message to someone, I can show you but allow me to get home first. That way I can give more detail.

 

[PattiChati]

what, do I just put him in search like you?

 

[PattiChati]

I went to search, put in his name, and just the threads he worked on were there. On yours, I just clicked on what saidlyn said.
So I must be doing something wrong - skipping a step. Can you help me? Thanks.

 

[DustSailor]

Similar. His "password", or what you type in that box to find him, is "ignatzatsonic profile". Then you will click on Windows 7 Forums - View Profile: ignatzatsonic.

Or if you come back to this thread, just click the purple letters right here in this very post

 

[DustSailor]

Ahh, but he has prevented people (or me o.o) from writing on his wall. If you cannot, then you will only be able to private message him. Let me get home to show you how to send him a message

 

[DustSailor]

So to send a private message, click "User CP" at the top, then down the list click "Send New Message". Compose and then submit it. You can send to 1 or more people at the same time:

 

[PattiChati]

Your second screen shot doesn't look like mine. When I finally found him, there was no place to write a message. You had one, but ignat did not that I could find.

 

[DustSailor]

Remember there is a difference between writing on someone's wall and private messaging. You cannot write on Ignat's wall as I found out, but you can send him a message how I showed you in the post above yours, #98

To get to my second screenshot, you have to click "Send New Message" in the first screen shot
