When I try to open firefox nothing happens, the browser window won't open. How do I fix this?

My firefox browser won't open. It looks like it's working, but then it just stops.

Hi prubright, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if you can start firefox with that way. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
Try to start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows onWindows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
'''otherwise''', try to boot the computer in [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows Safe Mode with network support] (press F8 on the boot screen) and then see if that allows to start firefox.
thank you

    That sounds like you've engaged one of the automatic syncing options for your nano.
    Plug the nano in, and go into the Device screen for the nano in itunes. Is "manually manage ..." unchecked? If so, check the box for it, and click okay. Disconnect and reconnect the nano. Is the content on the nano able to be selected in your iTunes now?

    When you launch iPhoto with the option key depressed you'll get this window:

    All libraries on your hard drive (and on external drives) will be listed and the currently used library will be listed as (default).

  • App Store claims update for app I never purchased and then switches me to a russian account. When I try to buy with my account i get an unknown error. How can I fix this?

    When I opened the Mac App Store on my White MacBook(2010 model running Lion), it told me I had an update for Angry Birds. I never bought the original Angry Birds for Mac, so I decided I'd buy it because I enjoyed it on the iPad. When I clicked buy, it had my email switched to a russian one and when I tried to buy the app on my account, I got an unknown error (4). I can buy other items on my account, but when I try Angry Birds it always returns the error. Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks in advance!
    edit: Sorry! Found the answer on a related discussion.

    i have this too -- it's from trying to install pirated sw. I have no idea how to fix it -- even trying to buy a legot copy gives an error in the app store.

  • My MacBook pro won't allow me to double click to open files or select the music I want to play, how do I fix this?

    When going to open a file or select a song to play in iTunes or opening links I used to be able to double click on my track pad to open files or links, now I have to tap once with two fingers to open the "right click" option on a normal mouse pad to be able to select it. How do I fix this in order to be able to just double click the track pad to open the folder or link?

    Hi kylec4544,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with your MacBook Pro. If you are having issues opening things by double clicking on them, you may want to double check to make sure the double click speed hasn't accidentally been set too high, as noted in the following article:

  • When I tried to open firefox nothing happens. I was able to open another type of browser but not firefox.

    Firefox suddenly closed on me while trying to browse a page. When I tried to reopen it nothing happend. I even tried launching from the task manager Nothing. I have loged off and restarted my computer and uninstalled and reinstalled firefox. Still nothing. It's not my internet because I'm browsing fine on explorer. Firefox is my favorite browser and i would hate to not have it but if it does not work I will have to change browsers.

  • When I try to start Firefox nothing happens

    I updated to 3.6 beta 4 and it started after the installation but the next time I tried to run it nothing happened other than the hour glass for a second or two. I rebooted no change. I uninstalled it and downloaded and installed 8.0 and still nothing happens. I tried updating to the beta version again but it still doesn't work.

    3.6 '''Beta 4''' looks like you are using an outdated version of firefox, run clean install of Firefox 8 and try
    * getfirefox.com

  • I have OSX 10.72 and when I try to download Firefox nothing happens.

    I press the link to download and nothing happens.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • When I try to log in from desktop I get "Connection Refused" message. How do I fix this?

    I tried to activate Mozilla Firefox today using the normal & routine method, clicking on the Firefox Icon.
    Each time I tried I got the same message "Connection Refused".
    I went to the Firefox site and read the message regarding disabling Java, so I opened ADD ONS and Plug Ins and disabled Java.
    Still no change, so I shut down and restarted my computer.
    I keep getting the same Connection Refused message.
    What needs to be done to restore Firefox?

    Another user also reported a problem with the AT&T Yahoo home page in the past few minutes. When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • Some iTunes music content is listed as having been synced to my iPhone, however, when I try to access it on my iPhone, it's not there. How can I fix this?

    I had a problem that some of the content I had purchased from iTunes was skipped over when I tried to play it on my iPhone. Music copied from CDs and some other content from iTunes worked fine. To try and fix this, I removed all the music from my iPhone and then added it all back on again. This worked for some of the content that was being skipped over, but now some of the content that was being skipped over doesn't appear on my iPhone at all.
    When I open iTunes on my MacBook Pro and choose "On This Phone", there are 100 songs - all purchased directly from iTunes - that are listed as being on my iPhone but aren't there when I open iTunes on my iPhone. I also notice that you can't redownload purchased tracks from the iTunes store.
    Please help. Thanks.

    Answers to the similar "No Content" question seem to say I should turn off ZoneAlarm. However, I can't find this option in iTunes and some Googling suggests that ZoneAlarm isn't actually an integral part of iTunes anyway so that doesn't seem to have helped.
