After updating, I click on the icon and nothing happens. I am unable to find a solution in your "help" section.

Last time I updated Friefox, all of my bookmarks and saved pages were gone. I was hesitant to update again. However, after repeated messaged to do so, I did. Now when I click on the Firefox icon, nothing happens. No page opens...nothing.
I'm running Windows 7.

Last time I updated Firefox, all of my bookmarks and saved pages were gone.
If you have unsaved open pages you may loose them on a Firefox upgrade but you should not normally loose your bookmarks, unless for instance you do a new install and take one of the options that deletes personal information.
I suggest as a precaution you back up your Firefox profile. This is something that is easier to do whilst Firefox is able to run; and it is good practice to do this periodically anyway; but it can still be done even when Firefox is not able to be run.
* for instructions have a look at [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* put the backup files and folders somewhere safe, where they may be found easily, but outside the Firefox program or profile paths. (Your Windows 7 Desktop is a suitable location).
Now when I click on the Firefox icon, nothing happens. No page opens...nothing.
Firefox not starting after an upgrade is often caused by firewalls or security programs either not recognising the new Firefox as being safe, or else blocking or even reversing changes made to your system and browser.
Have a look at your security software and the security settings.
*What security related software and firewall do you use ?

    I was using gimp fine for years with my osx 10 6 8 up until yesterday.  Last night when I downloaded yosemite, gimp has not been working ever since.  I clicked on the icon and it said that x11 wasn't compatible with yosemite and lead me to a link from apple support which said that I need to download xquartz for gimp to work. 

  • HT201740 How do you open Preview? I click on the icon and nothing happens

    How do you open Preview? I see it in Finder and click on it, then I see it in the dock and click on it. I go to file open and click. Nothing happens.
    Thanks!

    Quit Preview.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Remove the following.
    Containers/com.apple.Preview
    Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.Preview.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileList.plist
    Saved Application State/com.apple.Preview.savedState

  • After installing 3.6 FF won't open even in the safe mode, I click on the icon and nothing happens at all

    I installed 3.6 and now FF won't open even in the safe mode. I restored my computer setting back to where I was running 3.5.13 but it still doesn't work...some files must have been deleted when I upgraded that weren't put back even when going back to the older version but I have no idea what to look for or what to do even if I find them. Can you please help me?

    Using system restore can create problems as well as solving them. I have seen system restore destroy a Firefox setup. The installation may be OK but to be sure perform a clean install
    # [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox Uninstall Firefox]
    # Delete the Firefox [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory Installation directory], default location C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
    # Download the latest version from http://www.mozilla.com/ and install it
    If Firefox still does not start, try creating a new profile folder. Firefox stores user data in a profile folder, creating a new profile will show if the problem is with the old profile. For how to do that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows creating a new Firefox profile on Windows].
    If the new profile works, you can copy selected data such as bookmarks and passwords to the new profile. For details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox transferring data to a new profile]. Do not copy the preferences file, and it is best to re-install any add-ons.

  • Premiere Elements 13 won't launch in Windows 8.1 (Click the icon and nothing happens)

    I'm running the trial version of Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 64-bit. It's a brand new PC built for video editing. Everything worked perfectly for about a week and all of a sudden I'm unable to start the program. I click the icon and nothing happens. No splash screen, no error code, no spinning circle cursor.
    I have the latest video card drivers for my graphics card.
    I've tried uninstalling the program, removed every last Adobe file from my PC, uninstalled all instances of Microsoft Visual C++ and reinstalled Adobe Premiere Elements 13. I tried the same with a fresh download of the program. Neither worked.
    I've tried installing a couple .dll files based on a similar thread (where a program called iLivid was the issue). I don't have iLivid on this PC and adding the new drivers didn't work.
    For the few days that the software was working I loved it and was ready to purchase. Unfortunately I won't be able to buy it until I can get it to launch on my PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    My major problem was with the reliability of the uninstall reinstall of Premiere Elements 12 Windows. I did not encounter any issues in this regard with 11. And, I have only looked at the 30 day tryout of 13 from Adobe. My computers are Windows XP 32 bit, Windows 7 64 bit, Windows 8 and later 8.1 64 bit. The following describes what got me through the worse of these hassels.

    I am not sure if the above will work for you with 13. But, it would be worthwhile to check them out.
    Since you are dealing with current version 13, it might be a good idea to get Adobe via its Adobe Chat involved, with the hope of some remote control of your computer troubleshooting to try to get to the core of the issue. Chat Panels have been hard to come by for some of these issues, but let us try this route.
    Please click on the following link
    Contact Customer Care
    Premiere Elements
    Adobe ID and signing in
    Adobe ID, sign in, and account help
    Chat Panel
    If the link does not hold its set, then you will need to navigate to the Chat Panel using the above titles as guides.
    Depending on the outcome....if you purchased Premiere Elements 13 from Adobe direct within the last 30 days, you can request your
    money back from Adobe. If you purchased elsewhere, then you are left to deal with the return policy of the seller.
    We will be watching for further developments.

    I downloaded OS X 10.9.5 and when I attempt to load the program from OS X 10.7.5 I click on the install icon and nothing happens. How do I install the upgrade? Can I upgrade from Lion to Mavericks? Here are my specs:
    Sounds like you downloaded the OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 Update or Combo Update. Neither will work on a version of OS X prior to OS X Mavericks. Those are only used to update an existing install of OS X Mavericks. The Combo will update any version from 10.9.0 thru 10.9.4. The Update will only update version 10.9.4.
    You need the full installer of OS X Mavericks from the App Store. However, the App Store no longer offers OS X Mavericks. Yosemite is the new FREE OS X.

  • I click on iChat icon and nothing happens

    I first got my Mac and clicked on the iChat icon and I didn't set up any accounts.
    I clicked on it again the next day and nothing pops up. I don't know how to set up any accounts because no window pops up or anything.
    I don't know how to work iChat because I click on it and nothing happens. What do I do?

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    To Expand on Defcom's answer
    It is possible when starting ichat for the First time to Click through the Start Up Screens and not enter any info. (no Accounts).
    When you restart iChat it has no Accounts and therefore no Buddy Lists to Display and "Nothing" appears to be the result.
    However the Menu Bar should show (until you click the Screen or another icon in the Dock) iChat in the Menu Bar.
    If this is the case, click on the word iChat (Menu will drop)
    Chose Preferences then Accounts.
    You can then set up Accounts (Screen Names by pressing the + button at the bottom of the Left hand side (which should always List Bonjour whether you use it or not).
    See this section

  • With the new V4 of Firefox, I click on the automplete and nothing happens. Not sure why.

    I'm very confused, this history is there as well as suggestions for completion. But when I click on my selection the auto-fill bar is just empty. I have to type the complete search term for it to search. Highlighting and hitting Enter does not work either.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi - for a year or more IThunes has been fine with Vista on my machine - today no matter what I do I can't open it - I am guessing something that has been upgraded is now causing a compatibility issue. Anyone know how to fix ?

  • I have Adobe 7.0 Professional installed on my Mac. I have tried to download a pdf form from the Alaska Humanities Forum website. I click on the form and nothing happens.

    Is there a reason for the pdf file to not download from Firefox on my Mac 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 with Version 10.4.11 Mac OS X operating system? I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional installed.

    Further to this original post ---  OK, I uninstalled and then reinstalled the program, to no avail.  I did however get a message which I had gotten before but since I was not yet aware that the program got installed with any problems, I had not noticed... This time I took notice.  The error message was clearly what it is about, at least to a great extent.  I got this message:  Warning 20225: Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Setup was unable to create a new item:  Adobe PDF Port Printer may be unavailable.  GetLastError:  The operation completed successfully.  So then after the reinstallation, I went into Control Panel, Printers & Drivers and made a valiant attempt to manually install a virtual printer port.  I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional installed in another computer on which I have Windows XP Pro (yes the only other computer--  I am permitted two installations for this program--  I confirmed this with Adobe), by looking at Properties and copying down exactly the text, etc. which described the names of the two possible ports, etc.  Tried to "tell" my new computer (the one which has Windows 7) that it should set up and/or look for such a virtual port, again to no avail.  I am amazed that Adobe does not allow me to even pay cash money for tech support, but they wouldn't do it.  I guess you can have just so many employees who know the programs, etc.  Anyway, as I said before I may just break down and buy the 9.0 version which the Adobe techie told me is indeed compatable with Windows 7.  He did not tell me that Windows 7 was incompatible with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional but that 8.0 is indeed incompatible.  Just googled the term "Warning 20225" along with some relevant buzz words.  I can see there is still a bit of tweaking I may be able to do before I cry "uncle!"

  • HT1146 click on mail icon and nothing happens

    I cannot open the mail application

    cyclistgeorge,
    This has happened to me several times since the old post.
    What I have found is to do nothing.
    I try a few of the obvious things (restarting - etc) but when
    I just put the computer down for a day or so,  it seems to fix itself.
    I pick it up and you would never know there was anything wrong.
    So I think it has to be yahoo, not having their act together with mail.
    I hope this is something you can do (getting away from it for a day or two, some people can't.
    Good Luck!
