Hi! I am using firefox on Windows 7 home premium platform today I updated my firefox to its latest version i.e. 3.6.12 first I uninstall the firefox but keeps my personal setting and then restart my system but when I click on firefox icon nothing happened in fact its exe was running in backend firefox version 3.5 is working fine on my system as I low grade myself to 3.5 again. Kindly help.

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.

  • I have installed Firefox but when I click on the icon, nothing happens.

    I have just downloaded and installed firefox, but when I click on the icon nothing happens.

    In case you haven't solved this by now...
    Sometimes your security software will block new programs from accessing the internet. Are you getting any alerts along those lines?
    Sometimes Firefox will stall during startup and never display its window. In that case, you may need to manually "kill" the firefox.exe process using the Windows Task Manager before trying to start Firefox again.
    You can display the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Esc. Windows 8.1 has a different display than Windows 7, so I have to go by memory. If you see a tab named Applications, check that one first. Then check Processes, and finally check Details. If you find Firefox or firefox.exe on any of those tabs, select it and End Process (or other action to shut it down).
    After you are done with the Task Manager, try starting Firefox up again.

  • I have downloaded some ibooks but when I click on the icon nothing happens - it won't open

    I have downloaded some ibooks from iTunes but icons will not open when I click on them. This issue applies to my Windows 7 computers and iPad (3rd Gen) and iPhone 4s.
    I can't find any help/support with this issue.

    iBooks only open in the iBooks app on an iOS device. It is possible that your download was corrupt, in which delete and download again from your purchased history.

  • My iTunes won't open. When I click on the icon nothing happens

    My iTunes won't open. When I click on the icon nothing happens. It doesn't bounce or anything. When i plug my iPhone into my macbook nothing happens either. I recently updated my operating system to the Yosemite. Everything worked fine until i updated it. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?

    Program folder? In general backing up and restoring application folders is not going to work. Windows programs should be installed using the appropriate installation programs.

    Hello,
    sometimes the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
    And if it doesn't work still after that, as much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
    Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
    Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html   and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
    If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html or http://helpx.adobe.com/de/contact.html and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.
    Good luck!

  • HT204406 Song's iTunes Match iCloud icon shows but when I click to download song nothing happens.

    Song shows "greyed out" on iTunes list with iCloud / iTunes Match icon for "click to download".  But when I click on the icon to try to download the song nothing happens.  I've tried signing out of iTunes Match and signing back in, etc.  

    I have five songs like this in itunes 11. In the previous version, i got an error on four of the songs but now there is no error dialog popup. Also, I recently tried to redownload a song after deleting it, it is greyed out also.

  • When I click the stacking icon nothing happens

    I have had this happen before but can't remember how I fixed it. In Grid or filmstrip, I have, for example, two images stacked. The icon in the image shows 2 images. When I click on the icon both images are not displayed. All I get is an icon that show 2. Click again and it shows 2. Click again and it will show 1 - which is the same image.
    Any advice?
    Thanks
    James

    Hello,
    check if you have set an filter in the metadatabar (pick, color lable, etc). You can open / close stacks but only images that fullfil the filter will be displayed.

  • My itunes library tells me an update for itunes is available, but when I click to download it, nothing happens

    My itunes library tells me that an update is available for itunes, but when I click on the dowload button, nothing happens, and when I check what version of itunes is installed, it has not changed from the older version. In general settings, I have set it to automatically check for downloads, which it does on a regular basis, but is never able to install them.

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • My firefox does not open, when I click on the icon nothing happens

    My firefox does nothing at all.

    Also having the same problem.
    I have tried the following with no luck.
    *Uninstalling and deleting profile + profile.ini then reinstalling
    *deleting the .parentlock file
    *deleting and reinstalling version 3.6.8.dmg
    *Checked the activity monitor that the application isn't listed as running
    *Downloaded addtrap and uninstalled again
    all with no luck.
    Try some of these first as they might fix your problem but not mine! ;)
    If anyone knows of something I may be missing I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks

  • I just downloaded osx lion and when i click the lion icon nothing happens why cant i log in?

    I just downloaded Mac osx lion and at the login in page when I click the lion nothing happens why can't I log in?

    Sounds like a Windows installer. Does it say Mac on the disk? When you open the dmg, does it say Office:Mac?

  • Received sync verification email at my aol account, but when I click the verify button, nothing happens. I can't copy the url: aol won't let me. Now what?

    Just downloaded firefox for the first time. I'm stuck on the verify step of the sync process.
    I'm using aol desktop software on Windows 7. AOL won't let me copy the url behind the verify button to another browser, and it won't open the firefox accounts window when I click on verify (the tab opens, but the window stays blank....refresh does not help). I'm stuck.
    I do not use outlook on this computer.

    This is happening to me too. Every time I try to resend the verification email it does not work either. I am filing a bug.

  • I have Firefox installed but I cannot run it. When I click on the icon nothing happens. I also have IE and it loads and runs fine. Is there something that could be stopping Firefox from running? Thanks.

    I am using XP Pro at the latest level. I did have a problem with the Op Sys that was released by Microsoft but I have fixed that. I now am not able to run Firefox as I once did. What can I check in system .

    Try the procedures in the [[Firefox will not start]] article.
