  • Since installing the latest update, Firefox will not load; it gives me the following error -- XML Parsing Error: not well formed.

    since installing the latest update, Firefox first operated with some errors but now will not load at all; it gives me the following error --
    XML Parsing Error: not well formed
    locations chrome://browser/content/browser.xml
    Line Number 1191, column 20:
    utton id="back-forward-dropmarker" type="menu" chromedir="&locale.dir;"-------------------
    please note that the words "utton ID" are exactly as the error message gives it; and at the end of the message there are exactly 19 hyphens.
    I don't know why this faulty code is referencing things to do with "chrome"... the Chrome browser is not installed on this PC or anywhere on our network.
    Also, this is not the first problem I had after clicking Firefox's prompt for the latest update. Before Firefox retreated into this error message, it was loading but running with some faults...
    1. the bookmark symbol was not appearing on the right hand side of the URL line, so I had always to click on "bookmark this page", after which the bookmark symbol did appear; however I don't know if the bookmarking function worked properly.
    2. the back and forward buttons were not highlighted, as if I had not come from a previous page; so once I clicked on a link to a new page I could not go back to where I came from because Fiefox thought I hadn't come from anywhere.
    3. there may have been other errors, but I did not find them.
    How do I reinstate my Firefox program to work properly please? do I have to download the latest version and reinstal? if so, do I have to remove the old version first? or is there a fix?
    Even to write this message I have been forced to use (yuk -- I don't like to say this!!!) Internet Explorer. So please -- I need help urgently.
    Thanks,
    NOEL

    Some how I solved my problem by opening a user account and downloading Firefox 4.0 beta and installing it, I did try it, worked fine, so I did close the user account and did go back to my own account(switched user), the main page that I had problem with Firefox which would not open, I dabble click on Firefox it start working again!! I hope that solves your problem too.

  • Firefox will not install. I keep getting a message that I have to restart my computer in order for updates to a previous version can be installed.

    Every time I restart the computer and try to install firefox the same message keeps appearing. I attempted to uninstall the earlier version of firefox using "programs and features" in windows but the same message came up and thus I was unable to uninstall using that method. I have used a third party uninstall program which appeared to delete all traces of firefox including registry entries but I still have the same problem.
    I am now in the position of not being able to load any version of firefox. HELP

    Same problem here. I installed version 4.0, then removed it and tried to install 3.6. Now no version Firefox will not install. I keep getting a message that I have to restart my computer in order for updates to a previous version can be installed.

  • Firefox will not recognize java plugin that has been installed and worked 1 day ago.

    I have an IMac with OSX 10.5.8, Firefox 5.0, One day ago it worked fine, today when going to a specific site that requires Java, Firefox will not recognize that Java is installed. I checked for updates and there are none. Java is installed and the site works fine with Safari, which requires Java as well. How can i get Firefox to recognize Java installation.

    Apple has removed support for the Java Plugin2 with the latest Java Update 10 for OS X 10.5 Java version, so the Java plugin is no longer available for Firefox versions and other browsers like Google Chrome that require the Java Plugin2.
    The Java Plugin2 plugin is still there, but he softlink to it has been removed with this update, so Firefox doesn't find the plugin.
    There will be fix for this in the next release (Firefox 5.0.1 or 6), so that Firefox will find the plugin again.
    I don't know if all Java applets will still be working on OS X 10.5 with that JP2 plugin (Apple recommends updating to OS X 10.6 for OS X 10.5 users with an Intel Mac).

  • After refomatting HDD, reinstalling Vista plus service packs, recovering files from Microsoft backup and installing new copy of Firefox 3.6, Firefox will not run. Have deleted all old M0zilla profile folders and reinstalled Firefox again to no avail.

    After computer would not boot and could not be repaired, I reformatted the HDD, reinstalled Vista plus all service packs and updates, recovered files from Microsoft backup and installed new copy of Firefox 3.6. Firefox will not run.
    I have deleted all old M0zilla profile folders and reinstalled Firefox again to no avail.
    After intallation was completed, the automatic startup just placed a small box on the screen "Import wiz". This just sat there with no activity. After I closed this box, none of the Firefox start buttons would open the program -- just the blue rotating icon for about 2 seconds then nothing.

  • Elements 12 pre-installed on new Sony Vaio Win8 not working. Error: 16, No disk to reinstall. Any ideas to make it work?

    I have a Sony Vaio Fit 14 laptop that has Windows 8 and pre-installed Photoshop Elements 12.
    The Photoshop elements 12 is giving me an error 16 and I can not get it to work.
    I have no installation disk and really do not want to restore the laptop to factory out of the box.
    Is there any other way to fix this issue?
    Thanks,

    Probably you could get some help from Sony.  Possibly the install image is somewhere on your computer or they could give you a copy.

  • After updating to Firefox 3.6.15, Firefox will not connect to the Internet, even after uninstalling and re-installing Firefox in my Windows XP environment.

    After downloading the Firefox 3.6.15 update, my problems began. Firefox would not connect to the Internet. When I rebooted my PC, Firefox said that it couldn't access any Web sites. I uninstalled Firefox, then downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.15. I still have the same problem: Firefox will not connect to the Internet. I am running Windows XP, service pack 3. I never had problems with Firefox until I installed version 3.6.15.

    I have XP Pro. I tried installing 3.6.15 and could not open it. I did a system restore and 3.6.14 would no longer open. I tried again installing 3.6.15 and got a message that the previous version had not uninstalled properly. Tried uninstalling.
    As a precaution I used MozBackup to save my bookmarks etc. and also saved a system restore point.
    I then clicked Start, My Computer, drive C, Program Files and deleted the Firefox folder.
    I installed 3.6.15 and it is now working fine with all my bookmarks and addons loaded automatically.

  • I installed Spyware Doctor with antivirus and Firefox will not open but goes into Not Responding mode

  • Windows 7 ffox 1.6.16 installed office 2010 intimated cannot open link outlook firefox default browser, firefox will not initiate at all. Have to restart to get any response from firefox which then works but it crashes again. No error message

    Windows 7, firefox 1.6.16 just installed office 2010, sometimes cannot open a link in outlook and firefox is my default browser, and firefox will not initiate at all. Have to restart computer to get any response which then works but after a while it crashes again. Was this due to an update or office 2010 has a hidden setting somewhere? Why would firefox crash without any message? Intimated consuming

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • Firefox will not open. I have used this for several years. It will not even open in safe mode. I have un-instaleld it..re-installed it and the same problem occurs. No error messages etc. ANy thoughts?

    The program was working fine..now nothing. I have un-installed it several times...re-installed it several times. Will not even open in safe mode.

    For some things you can try see [[Firefox will not start]].
    I would start by seeing if a new profile works. See [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows creating a new Firefox profile on Windows - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
    If the new profile does work, you can transfer selected data such as bookmarks and passwords to the new profile. I would not copy preferences or extensions, instead re-install the extensions.

  • I have lost lmy AOL toolbar and Firefox will not allow me to install it

    I have lost my AOL toolbar and I can no longer cut and paste when I am in AOL through Firefox. This happened after I installed your newest upgrade to Firefox. Very weird. When I try to install the AOL Toolbar it says that Firefox will not let me install it because the AOL toolbar is corrupt. But I was able to install the AOL toolbar when I went through Internet Explorer. I like going in through Firefox but I may have to go in through Internet Explorer.

    I suggest you go to Apple's ID site, log in and update everything. Then you will surely get a confirmation mail.
    Once all is done, you will most probably be able to log in to the iTunes store again.

  • Firefox will not install addons

    After getting a new computer and installing Firefox 12 on it, Firefox will not install addons. The only way that I can get it to install anything is by downloading the .xpi file and manually installing it. Unfortunately, I cannot download the .xpi file to one of the addons that I need to do my work, so this is a problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?
