I cannot open Mozilla at all sometimes, why is that?

Sometimes I cannot open Mozilla at all, nothing happens when I click on it. I have to re-start my computer, then minimize so I can have access to it. What is happening with that?

Hello Marilyn.
Look at this support article:

    cannot open preview at all since upgrade to Mavericks

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

    Hi, InsaneCharlie. 
    Thanks for the question.  I see you have uninstalled iTunes and want this program back.  Start with completely uninstalling iTunes if present and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below.  Once this is done, download and install iTunes.  If none of your data was modified in the iTunes media folder, then your data should be present upon installation.

  • I cannot open a downloaded PDF document, why? I

    I cannot open a downloaded PDF document, WHY?

    My MacBook Pro (2.5 Ghz Intel Core i5) is running OS X 10.9.4. Here is what happens when reading an online user manual that I want to save to the Desktop and read later as a PDF file on my iPad or phone. With Safari I will select "Export As PDF" and the file shows up on the desktop. Even after multiple trials, there will be a dialogue box indicating the file cannot be opened. If I check the file info, the size is "zero." Trying to save the file as a pdf using the Print menu yields the same results. I have tried both of these methods using Preview, Adobe Reader, and PDF Pen Pro. This strange behavior also occurred several weeks ago and I finally abandoned the effort. But when the same thing happens twice, it becomes an issue that needs to be resolved.

    Upgrade iTunes to the latest version. It should be 10.5.3.

    And if it's copy protected then

    If anyone is running 10.8. or later, then they might have to right or control click on the installer or app to "Open" to bypass Gatekeeper controls at least once, then it learns it's a ok to be trusted program.

  • When I go to: Show Columns Last Opened option is disabled. Why is that and how can I change it?

    When I go to Finder View Options>Show Columns> Last Opened option is disabled. Why is that and How can I change it?

    OK, I think what you are curious about is this:
    Open a Finder window and put the window into List view. Now go to View->Show View Options, and you get a little window with various choices, including this list of the kinds of columns you can have in the original window:
    I had never paid much attention to the list, but AFAIK the "Last Opened" option is ONLY available when you have a Search window open:
    And lots of the other options are then unavailable.

  • Firxfox installed (without me agreeing!) and update and since then I cannot open it at all. RE-installation didn't help. I urgently need Firefox up and running with my bookmarks intact. Thank you

    As mentioned above, when I opened Firefox this morning it installed automatically an update w/o me agreeing and I don't know what was isntalled. Since then I cannot open Firefox. Mozilla Crash Reporter opens and thell me Firefox had a problem and crashed. "We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts.
    To help us diagnose and fix the problem, you can send us a crash report."
    I press restart Firefox but I always just get the same message. I uninstalled it and downloaded it again, nothing is changing. I urgentlyu need to use the bookmarks as I don't have them in Explorer which I have to use now.
    Thank you

    You need "sysinternal's process explorer", it is free and can replace the Microsoft process explorer, that you get by "CTRL+ALT+DELETE". Either program will allow you to kill the instances of FF that didn't die as they should have, when you closed them. Sysinternal is easier to use, it is a graphic display with many options. Do not push "CTRL+ALT+DELETE" twice unless you want to reboot, that is its default behaviour under Microsoft.

  • Please help, I cannot open Firefox at all! crash ID: cf9fa02c-586d-4033-999b-a7a242110501 and Signature: mcffplg.dll@0x1cb20

    It happened a few weeks a go, I have re-installed the Firefox but still didn't work. I can only open Internet Explorer. I cannot open Firefox and Google Chrome at all!. I am using windows 7.
    Please help, I want my Firefox back...

    The crash is reporting a problem with the McAfee Site Advisor (mcffplg.dll), try uninstalling the McAfee Site Advisor and see if you can then start Firefox.

  • I cannot open Firefox at all!!!

    I really hope someone can help me with this it's driving me crazy to have to use Internet Explorer.
    All of a sudden yesterday when I booted the laptop up, I have been unable to open Firefox. I click on it, and just nothing happens whatsoever. I've tried EVERYTHING, reinstalling, running in Safe Mode (still nothing happens) and literally nothing works.
    What can I do? My laptop is a 1525 Inspiron running on Windows Vista.
    Thanks, Lisa

  • I cannot open Google in Firefox. Why not??? This is since I "refreshed" Firefox.

    Ever since I refreshed Firefox, I cannot open Google which means I cannot access my Gmail account. This is very aggravating. Kindly help me to fix this problem I have tried the usual restart solution and it didn't solve anything.

    As you may have noticed, the Refresh/Reset feature copies your settings (profile) folder to the desktop into a folder named "Old Firefox Data".
    If Firefox was running reasonably problem-free before the Refresh, and you haven't deleted the Old Firefox Data folder from your desktop, there is a way to use the contents of that folder to revert the refresh. You might want to brew a fresh cup...
    Check inside "Old Firefox Data" folder for a folder with a semi-randomized name. If there's only one, that probably has your old settings and add-ons. If there's more than one, you'll want to work with the one that was updated most recently.
    Once you have identified the profile folder you want to restore, here is my suggested "old profile resurrection procedure":
    '''Overview'''
    These are the steps:
    # Create a new Firefox profile
    # Remove everything from that new profile folder
    # Copy in everything from the old profile folder
    '''Create a new Firefox profile (Windows)'''
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager by pasting the following into the Start menu search box, or the Start > Run dialog, and pressing Enter:
    firefox.exe -P
    ''Note: Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.''
    Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like OldSettings, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then select that new profile in the dialog and start Firefox.
    '''Open the New Profile folder in Windows Explorer'''
    Firefox in the new profile should look like a factory fresh installation. Open the Troubleshooting Information page using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table, click the "Show Folder" button. Firefox will launch your brand new profile folder in Windows Explorer.
    Leaving that folder open, switch back to Firefox, and Exit. When Firefox closes, the profile folder should be front and center, or you can activate it using the Task bar.
    '''Copy Old Data in Place of New'''
    In that new profile folder, select all the contents and delete.
    Leaving that window open, open or switch over to your Old Firefox Data folder. Drill down into your old profile folder. At this level you should see a folder named bookmarkbackups among other things.
    Select everything (Ctrl+a) and Copy (either right-click > Copy or Ctrl+c).
    Switch to the empty new profile folder in other window and Paste (either right-click > Paste or Ctrl+v). This may take a minute since some of the files are large.
    '''Start Firefox'''
    Firefox should start up in that new profile with the resurrected old profile data. Success?

  • Cannot open Mozilla Firefox, Please help!

    When I try to open Mozilla Firefox on my desktop, a pop-up appears, stating "Error: Platform version '32.0.2' is not compatible with minVersion>=32.01 maxVersion<=32.01" I don't understand what I have to do...
    Thank You!

    I'll go ahead and post the steps for Windows. If you don't use Windows, please ignore this.
    Do not uninstall Firefox.
    (1) Download a full installer for Firefox 32 from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ to a convenient location. (Scroll down to your preferred language.)
    (2) Rename the Mozilla Firefox program folder
    ''64-bit Windows:''
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
    ''32-bit Windows:''
    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    to
    C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
    (3) Run the installer you downloaded in #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
    Does Firefox start and stay up?
    Note: Some plugins may exist only in that OldFirefox folder. If something essential is missing, look in these folders:
    * OldFirefox\Plugins
    * OldFirefox\browser\plugins
