The program worked fine til yesterday. then froze.

  • Firefox update failed, so I re-installed. Now firefox won't start up at all?

    ''locking as a duplicate of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/969557''
    So I ran firefox, and it was updating. While updating, firefox crashed for no apparent reason so I had to close it. Afterwards, every time I tried to start up firefox, it gave me the update failed error, followed by a crash less than a second later. I followed some instructions, uninstalling and re-installing firefox (without removing personal data), but now firefox won't start up at all!
    Now what?

    We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
    #Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
    #In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
    #From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
    #Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
    #Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
    #Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
    Thanks in advance!

    Is iTunes endlessly saying "Accessing iTunes Store"? Or is something a bit different going on?

  • Firefox won't open external links (from other programs), says its already running but not responding.

    I'm having this problem, everytime i click a link on other program, like the program's link on the about tab, or a youtube link on Live Messenger, it won't open, a dialog pops up saying firefox is already running and not responding, but it is there, and working.
    If it matters, i have the "beta" tab preview enabled on the windows 7 toolbar.

    You're welcome

    Since a few days we have a lot of crashes with [http://www.trusteer.com/product/trusteer-rapport Trusteer Rapport]. If you have this program, try to disable it and see if that stops the crashing.<br>
    You can stop Rapport using Start Menu > Programs > Trusteer Rapport > Stop Rapport<br>
    You can ask their helpdesk when an updated version of their product will be made available or, if you don't need this software, uninstall it.<br>
    http://www.trusteer.com/support/en/report-problem<br>
    If you do not have Rapport, then we need to have a crash report ID. When you send Mozilla a crash report it just puts it in a giant database. We have no way of looking it up without the Report ID. I have no idea what is wrong without looking up the crash report. Please get the Report ID of your latest crash report.<br>

  • Firefox won't start up at all, I can't figure out how to fix it?

    I've already looked at older posts on the forum, but nothing seems to work.
    When I click on the firefox logo nothing happens at all (It will try load for around 2 seconds then it stops). I can't run it in safe mode, I've tried making a new profile, I've tried restarting my computer and none of these things have helped.
    Does anyone know how I could solve this? I really don't want to go back to using IE.

    I've followed the steps for Safe Mode and no success. I disabled all add-ons and still no change. The odd thing is, this started a few days after I downloaded the new version. It is quite aggravating!

  • Just updated to 7 and now the scroll function on my touchpad on my laptop doesn't work in Firefox. It works fine on all other programs and the scroll works fine on my USB mouse. Is there any way to fix this?

    Using a relatively new Toshiba Satellite series laptop PC. Scrolling worked fine on whatever older version of Firefox I had (it's been a few months since the last time I updated before 7).

  • I am being repetedly asked to verify certificates and also cannot use xmarks as it does not appear to work correctly with my current version of firefox (8.0) and my mac 10.6.8. I tried removing and reinstalling but unsuccesfully.

    whenever i start firefox i receive a message saying that the certificate is not recognised - it is a certificate relating to xmarks.
    in fact upon installation i received another message stating that it wouldnt work correctly with my version of firefox. now i have updated firefox but receive the same message.
    thinking that it was an issue relating to certificates i went into "preferences" and removed all the certificates in the "authorities" section also given that i didnt recongnise any of them (e.g. turktrust!!).

    Hi,
    /Users/sarahschadek/Desktop/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
    Move the Safari app from the Desktop to the Applications folder.
    Restart your Mac.

    After your restart your Mac, click the Apple  menu (top left in your screen) then click:  Software Update ...

  • Firefox won't start after upgrade, it appears on the windows task manager but closing the firefox.exe doesn't help

    I upgraded to firefox 4 and it asked me to restart the system, since then it stopped working. it just won't open. I have windows xp and when I click on the firefox icon I see firefox.exe in the windows task manager under 'processes' I tried ending the task but it wont help. i also tried removing and reinstalling.. didn't help either :( I also checked if Kaspersky might be blocking it but it isn't

    The only thing that worked for me was installing an older version (3.6) and it started working fine... I dont even want to try upgrading it to 4 again..

    Can you start Firefox in Safe mode?
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe mode</u>:
    *On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
    *On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
    *Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Another possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Firefox won't start after google chrome imported all data(bookmarks,passwords,history,etc) from firefox

    firefox won't start after i import the data to google chrome.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
