Firefox does not start after upgrade to v35

I updated my browser to v35.0.1 and it seems to go through the installation process, but I cannot open the browser. I see that the installation created shortcuts on the desktop and taskbar, but when I click on those, nothing happens. And I did not see any error messages during installation. I checked task manager to see if firefox process started, but it doesn't. I uninstalled / re-installed several times, but doesn't seem to help

Some work computers have locks against unknown programs. Check that
out.
Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.

Firefox will not start after upgrade: error code 2324

I upgraded Firefox on my workstation running Windows 7 Enterprise (64-bit). The stub installer downloads and runs through the installation, but does not start Firefox automatically. If I click on the link in the taskbar, nothing happens. Same with the one pinned to the start menu. If I go to the Mozilla folder and load Firefox from there, I get a message saying "The installer encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2324."

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

MSY does not start after upgrade from 50SP6 to SP11

Hello experts again,
after upgrading from 50sp6 to sp11 I cannot start MSY.
I've implemented note 1099457 - AMT is starting now,
but MSY still does not start.
Has anybody some experience what this could be ?
Thanks and best regards
Gerd

Hi,
as I assume the AMT is installed completely new when doing a SP upgrade because it is a standard tool which you cannot enhance. Therefore it is running properly.
Regarding MSY you need to perform a full generation within MAS (Visual Studio) after changing the generation settings to MSY (similar to MSA) because the runtime files like MSY.DLL need to be fitting to the new SP11 framework dlls.

Wolfhard

Screensaver does not start after upgrading to 10.7

Since upgrading to 10.7 my screensaver does not start either by hot corner or automatically. I can get it to test from the preference pane, any suggestions?

Okay.... Sorry for calling the technology airplay vice AirPrint. I have done all the standard power reset and wireless tips (i.e.delete the wireless network, re-add the wireless network, even monitored the RF frequency spectrum to make sure nobody is stomping on my wireless signal, solid 32Mbits over a Cisco 1811w). I have over 28 years in networking experience. So, I assume you all the basic stuff has been covered. Before our Apple devices got upgraded to IOS7 (2 IPads and 2 iPhones), we had no problems printing to our Brother HL-5450DN series printer (updated to the latest firmware). I strongly believe it has something to do with the AirPrint discovery process as shared in my last post. My next step is to enable port mirroring and monitor the packet exchange using wireshark or tcpdump. This will probably have to wait until the weekend.

Firefox does not start after auto-upgrade

Firefox worked well until it prompted me to restart after auto upgrade to 3.6.4. No window displayed although the process list showed firefox was running. Can not resolve the problem even I uninstall and download/re-install 3.6.4.
Windows version: windows 7 enterprise 64bits
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== upgraded to 3.6.4 ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; InfoPath.2)

Same issue for me. I also tried to uninstall the firefox, then delete the folder in program files and reinstalled 3.6.3, 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 tried all sort of combinations I can..
Now firefox is not opening for me in both normal or safemode... :-((

Firefox will not start after upgrade from 3.0.1

I have Firefox 3.0.1. I would like to upgrade to 3.6, but if I try to upgrade to any version, I cannot open Firefox. It is not like the other "Will not start" problems, because in the Task Manager, firefox.exe pops up, then goes away instantly. I have tried using Safe Mode, doing a clean install by uninstalling Firefox and my profile, cleaning the registry, then using CCleaner, then trying to reinstall, but the problem persists. Sometimes firefox.exe doesn't even show up in the Task Manager. I also cannot use any version of IE(even if I wanted to), Safari or Chrome. They all have the same results. I suspect that it is not a problem with Firefox, but with my computer, but I don't what is wrong. Can anyone help me?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded from 3.0.1

Sounds like something is killing off your browsers before they can start. I really have no idea why Firefox 3.0.1 is working somehow, though.
Do a malware check with a few different programs, you need to use all, because not all programs detect the same malware.
For each of these, make sure they are updated after installing, and run a full scan.

Safari does not start after upgrade to 4.0

Used Autoupgrade to upgrade to Safari 4.0 and now Safari will not launch. Mac is only two months old with very little other software installed. Any ideas how to start troubleshooting? Any FAQs on Safari 4.0 issues?
Side comment: This is pretty weak of Apple to release software that is so buggy especially for new hardware that has a standard build on it. I guess I'm moving to Firefox...

Same here, but solved.
Open up a Console and try starting Safari like I did:
-------8<-------
ki-iMac:Applications ki$ ./Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
------->8-------
Then it would come up with:
-------8<-------
2009-06-11 17:40:27.843 Safari[555:10b] GrowlSafari Error: Original (selector updateDiskImageStatus:) not found, Alternate (selector myUpdateDiskImageStatus:) was found

2009-06-11 17:40:27.868 Safari[555:10b] Videobox Safari Plugin loaded

------->8-------
After locating that plugin (does not reside in /Library/Internet Plugins/) with that posting:
[http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=473842]
And the following commands in the console:
-------8<-------
# mkdir ~/Library/Application\ Support/SIMBL/Plugins/disabled
# mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/SIMBL/Plugins/VideoboxSafariPlugin.bundle ~/Library/Application\ Support/SIMBL/Plugins/disabled/VideoboxSafariPlugin.bundle
------->8-------
Everything works fine again.
Maybe I should update my Videobox?
Hope that helps!

ITunes does not start after upgrade

I'm sorry if this has already been answered, but I've looked everywhere and can't find a solution to this.
After recently getting the software upgrade for iTunes, It does not boot anymore. After accepting the iTunes agreement i get this error message
"The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occured (-50)."
Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't help. I've read some solutions for this on the windows machines and it has something to do with the sound card I believe.
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

ok, so I am not sure if this is legal or not, but there is a site called oldversion. Go there, and you can get past versions of applications such as aim , and in this case, itunes. just uninstall your other itunes first.
Sometimes different versions of appications run better on different computers. this new itunes probably just has something the last one didnt that cant run with what you have on your computer

Safari does not start after upgrading to Snow Leopard

Hi,
I just updated my iMac to Snow Leopard. Everything works fine except for Safari.
If I open Safari, it says: You cannot use this version of Safari with this version of Mac OS X. You have Safari 4.0.3 (translated from Dutch).
In About my Mac I see that the version of OS X is 10.6.1.
Software Update says my system is Up to date.
So I downloaded Safari from the Apple site with Firefox and ran the install.
The install of Safari says in the Select Target Volume screen: Safari cannot be installed on this Disk. For this update Mac OS X 10.5.8 of higher is needed (translated from Dutch). But I have 10.6.1! Does anyone have a clue how to resolve this without loosing all my settings?
Thanks in advance!
Daniel from Amsterdam

Greetings,
Don't waste your time downloading Safari from the Apple web site; it won't work, no matter what you do, since it's not for Snow Leopard.
From what you describe, it sounds like you (or someone else) may have moved Safari from where it belongs, and therefore it wasn't updated when you installed Snow Leopard, which would cause the current version it sees to not run.
Where, exactly is Safari located on your system? Safari must be at the top level of the /Applications folder; it cannot be anywhere else or it won't work properly when updating the OS.

Firefox will not start after upgrade to 7.0.1

I get crash reporter evry time I try to start firefox even in safe mode.

I have gone back to version 4 and can start Firefox again now. Something definitely wrong with 7.0.1! I completely uninstalled everything from my PC including local settings and profiles, so it was a clean install, but still crashed on startup.

Firefox will not start after I upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 to Ubuntu 10.04.

I was using Firefox without issue on Ubuntu 8.04. I then upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04. Firefox would not start after upgrade. Message said it was already running!
I checked the System Monitor and saw it was "sleeping". I ended process. Firefox then would start, however..... I always have to go into System Monitor before I start Firefox to stop it from running (sleeping) even if I already just quit the program or after a fresh reboot.
I do not use a firewall or virus program.
My router has some sort of firewall hardware, and it is the same router I used with 8.04 with no problem.
What is going on? Why is the program sleeping when I try to start it. Why do I always get the message that it is already running (and I have to shut it down) before I can start it.
It is either a Ubuntu problem or a Firefox problem.
Sonny.

''Crashes at startup can occur in Firefox 7 or above (but not Firefox 6 or earlier) if you are using a corporate login system such as IBM Tivoli Access Manager or Oracle Enterprise Single Sign On Manager ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680927 bug 680927]).

Same thing happens when i click restart.
No difference when i run it in Safe mode. And it won't let me create a new profile either. Is there anyway else i can extract my bookmarks? This is driving me crazy!

Did the crash reporter send any crash reports? 
You can see the crash reports in this folder:
"C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports"
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad
See also [[Firefox crashes when you open it]]
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. 
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]] 
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" 
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files) 
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox 
If that still causes the same problem then do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Firefox does not start for very long after clicking!!If another browser is opened Firefox opens after that.

Firefox does not open after clicking on the Firefox icon on my desktop. Occasionally it opens after a very long time and that also a number of pages open at the same time equal to the number of times hat I clicked the icon trying to open. If I open another browser like Google Chrome after trying to open Firefox then Firefox follows it to open much quicker after Google chrome opens.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.
