Firefox won't open...I get the time out window...but Internet Explorer works.

Firefox is my browser of choice, but it wouldn't open when I went to start up the wireless at home. After 2 days of trying to figure out why, I finally opened up IE...which works. I'm thinking of unintalling & then reinstalling FF...but thought there might be an easier solution. I cleared my cache, browser history, & such...but that didn't work.

check your proxy settings and restart your Firefox with add-ons disabled
maybe it works.
if it's not then reinstall Firefox.

Firefox won't open; I get the msg. "Cannot open file or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\USP10.dll - what's up?

I've tried uninstalling Firefox, re-downloading it (various versions and sites), and re-installing; I just get the same reference to
"USP10.dll" in directory C:\WINDOWS\ system32 ...
so wha' happen?
I don't think I did anything (install or whatever) before this happened
Thanks for any suggestion.

But I can't... find... it... It's not there.
Unless you're talking about the entire Mozilla Firefox folder (which isn't what the thing you copied says,) there is no installation folder.

YouTube stops on Firefox & Chrome after a few second or none at all but Internet Explorer works?

This just started to happening a week ago.
Internet explorer load the video in a instant.
I reinstall the flash player like 5 times but it seems like it didnt fix the problem.
I have a 50/25MBPS connection so I don't know why it doesn't load.
I can use site like twitch tv with no problem, Its just youtube
Clear the cache and cookies didn't help.
Any idea what is wrong?

IE has its own Plugin (ActiveX) independent of FF and Chrome.
Chrome has ITS OWN plugin as well, independent of the other two.
Firefox uses the (non-ActiveX, non-PepperFlash) plugin.
This is a bunch of stuff, but it's pretty quick to do:
Download the following files by right clicking and selecting "Save target as" or "Save Link as".
Flash Player Uninstaller
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Save ALL files to your Downloads folder - DO NOT RUN anything yet.
Reboot your system.
BEFORE opening anything else, go to your Downloads folder and run the UNINSTALLER to remove all instances of Flash Player.
Next, run the ActiveX Installer.
Lastly, run the Installer for other browsers.
Once Flash Player is installed go to: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/#sp
Download BOTH files, the one on the right FIRST by right clicking and selecting "Save target as"... the other by clicking and following the steps to dwonload the FULL ActiveX installer.
Once everything is installed, see:Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer to make 100% sure that Flash Player is enabled and NOT being blocked by ActiveX controls.

My firefox won't open on my computer recently. Safari and Internet explorer open to the web without a problem. Thanks

When I click on the icon, nothing happens. Up until about 2-3 weeks ago, it worked fine. Safari and IE open without a problem. I have a computer running Windows 7

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''

Firefox won't open when prompted the first time. Says "Not Responding". I have to hit cntrl/alt/del then try starting again. Sometimes multiple times.

Sounds like a "hang at exit" problem. There are several possible causes for that error. See:

* You may need to try Firefox Safe Mode
** You may need to use '''Safe Mode''' to locate the problem: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
**Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
** If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

I had the same problem when i dl-ed a new anti-virus softward, but what I did help me reconnect Firefox again!
Here is what I did,
Go to open firefox browser-->option-->advanced-->network-->settings-->and change it to auto-detect proxy settings for this network!
It worked for you, hope it will work for you too =)!

IPhoto won't open due to the not being updated but when I check to upgrade to iPhoto 11 it tells me it is installed. The photos in the library were modified using 9.1.5 and the iPhoto is said to be 7.1.5 (iPhoto 8). Any ideas?

How do you know the library was modified with iPhoto 9 (11)? If you've never had iPhoto 9 on your Mac it could'nt have. It sounds like a damaged library. Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Maximize the oracle forms window in internet explorer

hi to all,
how can maximize the oracle forms window in internet explorer? my current display setting is 1280x1024. im using forms 10g r1
pls. i need your help.

It's probably important to know that although you can command the forms_mdi window to maximize, it won't actually "maximize". It will remain in the "normal"state. This is a current limiation that can likely only be overcome with a custom java bean.

What does nsAppShell: Event Window mean? Firefox won't open for me at times and I need to restart.

When I return to my computer, Firefox won't open from the "standby" mode. It gives me the message saying "Firefox is already running, but not responding" and I need to log out or restart. Firefox is not running as far as I know. When I restart, a message comes up asking if I want to close "nsAppShell: Event Window". Once I end this process, it restarts my computer and everything is fine. This is very frustrating and happens all the time. What is "nsAppShell: Event Window"?

The OP asked this question 9 months ago and 850 other people have this problem. Why hasn't Firefox Support answered this question or commented?

Can't connect to any website through Firefox (Connecting...), but Internet Explorer works.

I have had on and off problems with Firefox working, but up until now, restarting the computer solved the problem. Now it won't load any website for anything...it keeps circulating with "Connecting...". Internet Explorer works just fine and the internet is working with all other devices, the only thing I can find that may be impacting is that the internet has no IPv6 access (I have no clue though and the box is checked). I have tried all of the advice I have found on other similar posts such as disabling the IPv6 and the Prefetch through 'about:config', I restarted the computer multiple times, unplugged the router, checked the firewall and removed and re-added Firefox, cleared the cookies and cache, reinstalled Firefox, uninstalled Chrome.
Nothing seems to be getting me any closer to having Firefox up and connecting again.
As a side note, I only have been having those on and off problems, and this current problem, while connected to my home internet--other connections have had no problems. Also, I am using Norton Antivirus which is up to date and showing no problems at present.
Any ideas on how to fix?

Have you flushed the dns cache on the computer recently? It could be that it has stored the unsuccessful message.

Firefox won't open mailto links in a new window like it used to...it just opens gmail in the current tab.

I recently upgraded firefox and now whenever I click a mailto link it opens gmail in the current tab rather than in a new window. How can I get it to open email links in a new window.

My MAILTO problem was finally fixed on the June 29, 2012 Firefox version 14 beta 10 release.

Firefox won't open I get a "Mozilla crash reporter" message instead.

I bought a new computer and downloaded Firefox. I had brought my settings over with Easy Transfer and everything worked a few times. Now when I try to open FF it immediately shuts down and gives me an crash reporter message. It doesn't actually open up it just goes directly to the crash reporter message. I've done that a few times. I uninstalled the program and then did a new download a few times and it's still happening. Please help. I've never gotten a response from m numerous crash messages I've sent in and I've posted on this forum and then can't find it. I feel like I've fallen through the FF black hole. Do I exist??

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes and [[Firefox crashes]]

Firefox won't open a link in a new window, crashes my xp desktop, locked my laptop out of the network. Uninstalled for now. Both systems fixed themselves.

Started having trouble on my IBM compatible XP desktop about a month ago, dominated CPU anytime a link used java to try to load in a new window, used 99% of capacity. Discovered old XP Laptop couldn't go to the internet or network last week, tested all hardware. Happened to uninstall Firefox on a whim. Laptop could go to internet, and I successfully backed up over my network.
Firefox version 3.6.12 I think. Doesn't seem to be opening new windows today either. Uninstalling until a fix can be found.

What in particular didn't you like about Firefox 6?
You can undo a lot of changes, either via changing settings or prefs on the about:config page or via extensions.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/common-questions-after-updating-firefox
Do a clean reinstall of the version that you want to use.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
*Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* 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.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

The page won,t open I get the settings were changed by another application message. It keeps appearing to I can't work with the diagnosics

The page won't open when I click on the firefox icon I go to system preferences for dianostics and "the settings have been changed by another application" I can't close that message to keep on working.

Are you referring to a wireless router, such as an Airport Express? If so, and you bought a different router, you will need to set up the new router according to their instructions. With my Netgear, I had to go to their online website (they should have the URL listed in the instructions) and set it up there because the software that comes with routers is not compatible with Macs.
If you're talking about something else, then please let me know - I've just never heard of an Airport modem.
