Firefox doesn't start in Windows 8 and none of your suggested solutions worked

I haven't been able to start the Firefox and I don't get any message on start-up. I tried all the suggested solutions from your support pages, but none work, as for most of them you need to have the browser open.
I uninstalled and re-installed the browser, but to no avail.

Hi,
1. Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
2. After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
3. Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
o Windows:
 C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
 C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
o Mac: Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
o Linux: If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see Install Firefox on Linux. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
1. Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
2. Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

Ciao.

My iPod Touchs Wi-fi is greyed out, and none of the apple solutions work

My iPod randomly just disconnected from the wifi one day, after like a year and a half of no probs. Now it cant even recognise my wifi, and wont let me select the wifi option! None of the apple solutions work! anyone know any other solutions?! x

If you tried here and still have the problem it is time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. It is a hardware problem.
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

After upgrading to Firefox it now starts in safe mode and none of the options make any difference. What is wrong and how do I fix it?

A few weeks ago, I updated to a newer Firefox (I can't figure out how to find the version) and now FF starts in safe mode with a list of change options. None of them change anything. What do I do?

I've used Firefox for 5 years, and the crashing now is the worst it's ever been. I hope they get a fix soon, I've just reverted to Chrome... ARGH

Firefox can't load gmail while safari can. none of the "help" solutions work. help!

see above. i've cleared cache and cookies, etc, etc, and nothing helps. this is so frustrating.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Firefox process is starting, but no activity and no active application

I am already for long-time a happy firefox user. I rate myself as an experienced firefox user and troubleshooter. But today I got some unfixable problems, and also can not find my problem in the forums. Ony this tread is a bit related, but offers no solution : https://support.mozilla.com/nl/questions/759683
The firefox.exe process starts, loads till about 10MB in memory and than no activity. Also no CPU usage. Appears to be hang.
If I remove js3250.dll there is an error message that the file can not be found. So I guess the basics of FF are started.
The profiles are already moved to an other location. Later I uninstalled FF. Several times rebooted. Moved ALL references in program files and in my roaming user profile to a different drive and installed FF again.
Virusscan and Firewall software are disabled at the moment.
Unfortunately FF keeps responding in the same way. Only starting firefox.exe as a visible process but as application not visible. and no activity after a few seconds (ca. 10 MB in memory)
Hope the cure can be found soon. I like Chrome less than FF... Other browsers even less ;-|

The browser doesn't start after turning off and turning on the computer

The browser doesn't start after turning off and turning on the computer. I tried to delete the program entirely (along with personal preferences), create a new account, install a different browser versions. All this did not help. (I have Windows 7.) Help, please! Every day I have to reinstall Firefox!

Hello Nastena, try a clean re-install, 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]].

#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.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
* check also if your antivirus or other security software(firewall, antispyware etc) blocks firefox access.
thank you

Firefox won't start on windows 7. Used to word when it was on version 18. I have different windows 7 machine it works fine on that.

firefox won't start on windows 7 after upgrading to version 19 or 20. Even if it starts up I cannot do anything on it, its in not responding mode. I have tried uninstalling and installing again with both version 19 and 20. Also i tried deleting the profile and re creating a new profile.

it does not work even in windows safe mode with networking. same issue. if i wait for some time firefox comes but in not responding mode. then a pop shows up with - script: chrome//browser/content/tabbrowser.xml 2123 .

HP director doesn't start in Windows 8.1

Have just purchased a new desktop which has Windows 8.1 installed. Have installed the software for PSC 2175 All in one which include the HP Director to manage the printer including scanning. This worked in Windows XP but doesn't start in Windows 8.1. Have run the HP trouble shooter which says that sacn does work. Should it even though there are messages saying there are compatibilty issues.

Hello @manzagol ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are haveing problems with HP director and windows 8.1.
I would like to help.
In 2004 HP director was replaced by the HP solution center.
The software you are trying to use is over ten years old.
This would be why it has compatibility issues.
since you are running windows 8.1, try the HP Scan and Capture app.
This should give you the ability to scan to your computer without the HP director.

Firefox doesn't start

it crashed during an update
tried re-installing
tried uninstalling and re-installing
tried creating new profile, profile manager doesn't start
uses 50k memory and 50% of CPU power

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

Is it wrong or why Firefox uses it as an extremely large amount of memory? I'm running Firefox 7.0.1 on Windows 7 and it is more or less constant over 1.5 GB of memory utilization, twice as much as they early version 6. Best regards Jonas Walther

Hi musicfan,<br />Sorry you are having problems with Firefox. Maybe you should have asked earlier and we could have fixed it.
Reading your comments I do not see that rolling back to an insecure Firefox 22 will actually help you much. You are probably best using IE, unless you have also damaged that.
*[[Export bookmarks to Internet Explorer]]
You should not use old versions they are insecure. Security fixes are publicised and exploitable.
* [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
* https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html
Most others will not be having such problems. We are now able to say that with confidence because after developers missed a regression in Firefox 4 telemetry was introduced so that data was obtained. It may be an idea to turn on your telemetry, if you have not already done so, and decide to stick with Firefox.
*[[Send performance data to Mozilla to help improve Firefox]]
Trying safe mode takes seconds. Unfortunatly if you are not willing to do even rudimentary troubleshooting there is not anything we can do to help you.
