2 days ago was working fine. Now click on icon and it doesnt open

Have uninstalled firefox then reinstalled. Did not work. Have no problem getting internet explorer or any website. This problem literally showed up overnight last Sat 3/7. Would like to get firefox back. Thanks

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[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).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
'''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
'''''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.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. It was working fine now I cant get it to output to the Tv. Any ideas?

    My Macbook pro no longer outputs to my vizio led tv. It was working fine now I cant get any picture. It just says no signal. It is not the hdmi or the adapter because it works fine with my other tv. Any ideas on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Please be as specific as possible. Thanks. BTW--I am using the mini dvi to hdmi adapter in case that was unclear.

    Since you say that the same connectors work on your other TV is suggests that the fault is not in the connectors but your Vizio TV.  I would check the settings on the Vizio TV.  Verify that is is set to receive HDMI input.  Perhaps you or some one else has inadvertently changed them.  Pressing the wrong buttons on a remote control device can do that.  (I am assuming no changes were made in SYSTEM PREFERENCES>DISPLAYS)

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • My power mac g4 was working fine i hit a key and it shut down and now it has the symble of the firewire slot floting around the screen and i can not get it to start back up

    my power mac g4 was working fine i hit a key and it shut down and know it has a symble floting around the screen like the firewirs symble and ot wont turn back on how do i fix it

    It does sound like the T key is stuck.
    One way to test to see if the keyboard is at fault is to disconnect the keyboard, then start up the Mac.
    Note - on that model, you can force a shutdown by holding in the power button (the one on the front panel of the machine) for 8 to 10 seconds.
    You can also force a restart by pressing the small convex (bulges out slightly) button under the power button on the front panel (it's the one on the left).

  • After i install firefox on my computer, i click on it and it doesnt open up, it just says it loading up then it stop loading

    after i install firefox on my computer, i click on it and it doesnt open up, it just says it loading up then it stop loading
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == i installed it ==
    == User Agent ==
    Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.0; U; en) Presto/2.5.24 Version/10.53

    When you say "it just says it loading up" I assume that the window has appeared, and your start page is not loading.
    Do you have any security software that might be getting in the way? Firewall? Anti-virus?

    I'm am assuming you are using a windows PC. If so these steps may help you tremendously. Step 5 is usually the culprit.

    Bring up the System Information via the Apple ➙ About this Mac ➙ More Information menu and check under the Hardware if the optical drive is recognized.  Are you able to use the drive from the Finder?  If not then it may be a hardware issue so try this: Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test

  • Premiere Elements 11, Windows 8, Was Working Fine, Now 'Has Stopped Working'

    I have just finished a project successfully, burned a BluRay with acceptable result, then shut down for the night. While viewing the BluRay, I saw a couple of glitches I wanted to fix, and the menu did not appear, so re-opened the project this morning. Thinking a stop marker would fix the menu not re-appearing, I inserted one at where I thought the end of my video was. I then found an unnecessary clip at the end that had slipped by me, making the end of the video longer, and likely the problem with the main menu not coming back. I deleted the clip. I rendered, saved, and played, but the playback wouldn't start. I closed and restarted about 5 times, same result. Now, Premiere Elements does not start at all, I get the splash screen, then the Windows box saying the program has stopped working and Windows will be in touch with me when they find a solution. Any ideas? I de-selected a sound device in Control Panel while the program was running, but have undone that action and the program will not start. I appreciate the help.

    ATR, thanks for the quick response. I tried some of your suggestions (from another related issue) in troubleshooting this one.
    Good info on the stop marker, I will remove it.
    Long story short, I have managed to re-install the program and get it to start. After the third time, the combination seems to be to Remove my preferences, Remove downloaded content, and Deactivate Product. I was reluctant to do the deactivation checkbox, I downloaded the program and was concerned about being locked out, Adobe thinking this was another illegal install.
    I started the program gently (giving things a long time to load, light on the hard drive being the main indicator) and was able to reload the video that seemed to cause the problem. Rendered, played, edited, no problems at this point.
    As to what may have caused the trouble initially, I'm not sure. I have speakers run off the analog onboard sound, with a microphone connected. I also have a USB headset w/ microphone that I use for narration and latenight listening. These devices don't seem to know about each other, and changing their status in Control Panel does not translate to a current Elements session. In Elements preferences, I enabled the analog speakers. From there, things went downhill. The sound wouldn't play, then the play would not start the video in editor, then the program would not start at all.
    I really like this program so far. I used Elements 1 and 2 way back when (with a computer to end all computers) to get all of our VHS recordings onto digital media. I did some editing and made some videos, then got away from it for a few years. We started diving and I got a GoPro camera. It didn't take too long to figure out the computer I had wouldn't do it for the new video formats. So, I now have the computer to end all computers to take care of the task. This has been the first glitch I've had in Elements 11. I expected a great deal more trouble with Windows 8.
    Anyway, thanks again. If I find a recurring issue here, I will be sure to post it.

  • IPad 2 wifi not working.  Was working fine, now won't find the network.  Any suggestions?

    Help!  Bought an iPad 2 for my mother, brought it to Scotland (from Chicago); initially worked fine.  Wifi suddenly stopped working.  Wn't find the network.  My iPad 2 has no problems.  Reset the network settings, did a hard restart, reset all settings, rebooted the router.  Nothing's working.  I'm returning to the U.S. In four days.  Any help would be most appreciated.

    Patrick-
    Did your "hard restart" involve holding both buttons until the Apple logo appeared?
    Are you sure that Airplane Mode is OFF?
    The solution may be to swap iPads and leave the good one with your Mother.  If you erase all content and settings on both, you can restore the good one from your Mother's computer.
    When you get home you can do the same with the problem iPad and your computer.  If you haven't sorted it out by then, take it to the Apple Store Genius.

  • My 7th gen nano was working fine, now no sound

    And yes, I tried two different sets of ear buds and they were both pushed in all the way.  It's worked fine for months, now this morning everything appears normal, but there is no sound output.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    Hey live_music_fan,
    I know you have a 7th generation and the article this information is from is for the 6th gen, but the steps should still apply. If you haven't already, I would run through the following:
    Check the volume setting.
    Try adjusting the volume by pressing the volume buttons.
    Try another song or audio file.
    Reset iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down buttons until you see the Apple logo appear.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?For information on servicing your iPod, go to the iPod Service FAQ.
