Firefox will not load; It said it was updating and now it just says not responding

Firefox said it was updating,since the updates,it will no longer run, it just says not responding; I have windows XP. I have Uninstalled and re-installed., I bought the PC health Advisor, nothing works.Nonresponding, it will not load.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== it updated ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; Comcast Install 1.0; GTB0.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

You could try the new Reset feature. This duplicates certain key data from your active settings folder into a new one, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings. Your plugins will still be active, but could be disabled manually if you like.
More information in this article: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
If the new settings folder has the same problem, you can switch back to your current folder, if you like, using Firefox's Profile Manager. (See [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]] -- don't delete anything just yet; use this dialog to switch back and forth as needed.)
Does it work better after a reset?

  • Downloaded OSX 10.8.2 then said there was update and now trying to reload OSX

    I purchased and downloaded Mountain Lion 10.8.2.   Today I checked for updates and there were two.  the one for mountain lion when I set update it said you already have Mountain Lion but kept saying update.  Now it is trying to reload (I think) the entire Mountain Lion.    HELP
    It was asked where I checked for the update.  I went to my App Store and checked updates.  It showed one update.  It showed the same OSX program that I downloaded originally.  I am so confused.  The downloading is SO SO slow.  So what is going on.

    Where did you see the Mountain Lion update? In App Store > Purchases or App Store > Updates? To update OS X, open App Store > Updates and it will show the updates available for your Mac

  • HT4623 I just tried updating my iPad through iTunes and it said it was unsuccessful and now is telling me to restore my iPad!! why is this and I'm not sure if it did back up because my iPad will not turn on.

    I just tried updating my iPad through iTunes and it said it was unsuccessful and now is telling me to restore my iPad!! why is this and I'm not sure if it did back up because my iPad will not turn on.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    It's not uncommon for it to not work the first time and sometimes, you have to try it a few times. Turn off your antivirus software and your firewall while you are trying to restore the iPad. Enable them again after you restore.
    If that still won't work, post back with detailed information as to what exactly does happen as you go through the process.

  • HT201412 my device was updated and now is not working anymore, it is in recovery mode all the time

    my device was updated and now is not working anymore, it is in recovery mode all the time.
    what can i do???

    Delete the shortcut you have at the moment and then create a new one as follows:<br><br>
    #Use Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.<br><br>
    #Right click '''firefox.exe''' and choose '''Send To''', then '''Desktop (Create shortcut)'''<br>
    Bear in mind that you're using an BETA version of Firefox and you're likely to encounter similar issues in the future.

  • My ipad was accientally turned off whilst it was updating and now I can't get it to start up.

    Hello there,
    My ipad was accientally turned off whilst it was updating and now I can't get it to start up. Please can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Try a force-restore:
    1. Launch iTunes but do not connect the iPad.
    2. Hold down the iPad's Home and Sleep buttons at the same time. This will force the screen to fade and the Apple Logo to reappear. KEEP holding the two buttons down until the screen goes black.
    3. Once the screen is black, release the Sleep button but keep holding down the Home button while you plug the cable into the iPad.  Contunue holding the Home button until the you see the iTunes logo and the picture of the cable on the screen. This may take up to 30 seconds.
    4. iTunes should now detect the iPad and you can perform a Restore.

  • TS1424 I bought an album that also came with music videos. All the songs downloaded properly, but none of the videos. Next to them it said Stopped-Error 3150, I tried to restart the downloads and now most just say Stopped, some say Stopped-Error 8003. Hel

    I bought an album that also came with music videos. All the songs downloaded properly, but none of the videos. Next to them it said Stopped-Error 3150, I tried to restart the downloads and now most just say Stopped, some say Stopped-Error 8003, which means Network issues, but after checking, I found there are no issues with my network. Help?

    I am having this same problem with my brand new Mac Pro. It seems to be tied to the computer awaking from sleep (no I am not leaving the iPod connected while sleep... I am referring to waking the computer from sleep and then connecting iPod as opposed to restarting the computer and then connecting the iPod). In other words, if you are getting this error message, try ejecting the iPod, restart your computer, then connect the iPod and see if the error message goes away. For me it does, but I only get one shot at it, if I eject the iPod and then reconnect it, the error message returns. This happens on both iPods I have. I have rebooted (hold menu-select) and gone to disc mode (hold select-play) and the error message remains. The only way it goes away is to reboot the computer, then I get one shot at hooking up an iPod.
    I NEVER had nor get this error message when I connect to the Windows PC that I started with. Perhaps the iPod does not like moving from PC to Mac?

    Why would you do that when your phone is updating?

  • Firefox will not respond after restarting my computer after making changes in the cookies and history settings

    I make some changes with cookies and cleared my history for today...and then restarted my computer...now firefox will not open...will not respond...should I uninstall firefox and then reinstall it?
    If I uninstall firefox will the changes I made with the cookies and my history be reversed?
    If I were to uninstall and then reinstall firefox will I loose my bookmarks if I do this? or does firefox remember them...so when I reinstall the previous bookmarks are reinstalled too?

    Does Firefox starts up when you first open it after rebooting the computer but hangs the next time you try to start it? If so, then there's a [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1005487 bug] in Firefox 29 where Firefox hangs on exit when the setting "Clear history when Firefox closes" is selected, so that you get an "already running but not responding" error the next time you ttry to start it. In that case, end the firefox.exe process in the Windows Task Manager (or reboot the computer) then reset your Firefox Privacy options and UNCHECK the option "Clear history when Firefox closes". See this article for details:
    [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
    If that's not the problem and Firefox still not open even after rebooting the computer then try starting in Firefox Safe Mode by holding down the shift key while starting Firefox. If Firefox starts then see the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to narrow down the cause.

  • Page will not load... java was updated and all...

    I need to do an online training course. I was told that my java needed to be updated and it was. When I go to the sight, it opens a new window and shows an icon that the page is loading, but it never does.

    Hi Diana, do you see any notification icons in the address bar to the left of the address? Those may indicate security or plugin issues. If you see anything there, click on them for more information.
    You also could try the site in Firefox's Safe Mode. That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled ''(Flash, Java, other plugins still run)''
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?

  • Firefox will not respond after loading it onto my Windows 7 computer

    I downloaded Firefox browser to my new Windows 7 computer and installed the program. I used Firefox for a while without any problem for a while and logged off of the internet and shut my computer down. The next morning, I turned on my computer, and clicked on my Firefox icon. I got a blank screen with the little aqua circle working. Then a message appeared in the upper left hand corner of my computer display, which read "Mozilla Firefox Not Responding". I closed the program. ''' By the Way, I installed Google Chrome web browser and am currently using it it without any problem. I would prefer to use Firefox though.'''

  • My MBP died while it was updating and now it will boot up, but not stay on

    I got the new MacBook Pro 13" for Christmas this year (2012).. The other day I was updating it and I guess it died because now it will show the Apple Logo boot up symbol and then it will just shut off.. What can I do? The nearest Apple Store is about 2 1/2 hours away and I have NO TIME to make it down there until next weeekend. Are there any suggestions for what I can do? Thank you all so much!

    Your MBP shutting off is not a good sign.  AS are not the only places that repair Macs.  There may be an AASP that is closer.

  • Firefox will not respond when trying to delete history.

    When I go to "clear recent history" and click on "clear now" it immediately states that the program is not responding. Does the same after reboot. It's not letting me clear my history, and I've tried 6 times, all with the same results... I have to close the program from the task manager. Is there a fix?

    How much history do you have?
    You can type a common character like a colon (:) in the search bar in the History Manager (Library).
    You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.
