After extraction of the file, firefox does not start on my computer.

the file says it is extracting and then nothing happens. when i manually try to click open the file, it just tries to extract the program again.

Try to disable your anti-virus software temporarily as it may be blocking the Firefox installer.

  • When clicking on vcards, the only option available is to save the file, firefox does not let me open the vcard for immediate viewing?

    Recently, whenever I double click a vcard file, the only option available is to save the vcard. I used to be able to automatically open vcards with Outlook, now this option is not accesible. I reviewed the file type associations within the control panel of Windows 7 and Outlook is the default program for .vcf files.

    You can check the settings in Tools > Options > Applications

    Same thing happens when i click restart.
    No difference when i run it in Safe mode. And it won't let me create a new profile either. Is there anyway else i can extract my bookmarks? This is driving me crazy!

    Did the crash reporter send any crash reports?<br />
    You can see the crash reports in this folder:
    "C:\Users\&lt;user&gt;\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports"
    See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad
    See also [[Firefox crashes when you open it]]
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br /><br />
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]<br /><br />
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"<br /><br />
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br /><br />
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox<br /><br />
    If that still causes the same problem then do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

    Using Firefox 3.6.20 and Windows XP Home SP3. Firefox sporatically deletes bookmarks from the bookmarks toolbar. Additionally, when I try to import from a saved HTML file, Firefox does not import the complete file. Results are inconsistent.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Firefox does not start by clicking on the icon in RHEL 5.

    Firefox does not start by clicking on the icon in RHEL 5 on thin clients, also the internet proxy server usename is not accepted for java applets on webpages. However while using Firefox on the servers directly everthing works fine. This issue occurs on a server thin client environment, where the home directories are located on a 5 TB storage connected using SAS cables to the servers.

    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.

  • Is there a capability to save/export the time capsule settings file when using the iphone/ipad airport utility. the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app.

    is there a capability to save/export the new airport 2TB time capsule settings file when using the iphone/ipad airport utility. set-up wasn't a problem but the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.

    the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.
    Sounds like you are a bit confused with version numbers.
    Latest AirPort Utility version for the iPhone / iPad is 1.3.3.  There is no option or capability to export/import settings on the iOS version(s) of AirPort Utility.....although you could take a series of screen shots and save them for future reference.
    AirPort Utility 6.3.x is found on a Mac.....not on iPhone / iPad. Export and Import options are found under the File menu in 6.3.x.

  • Acrobat Pro "save as" function in the file menu does not show the current directory of the file

    I have installed CC but Acrobat Pro gives me headaches.
    The "save as" function in the file menu does not show the current directory of the file but something I have worked on in the past.
    It forces me to navigates through my hard disk for this very straightforward thing in normal conditions. I precise: Acrobat is the only software reacting like that.
    I use Windows7 professional 64bits.

    I use what seems to be the latest version available on the Cloud:
    To illustrate my point, I open a directory with explorer and double-click on the only PDF in there:
    So here it is, open:
    When I do a "Save as", it takes me to a totally different place on the disk!
    Very annoying...

  • When you turn on the ipad2 it does not start up properly.  The rotating disk that happens when you turn off the ipad appears after the apple logo comes up

    When you turn on the ipad2 it does not start up properly.  The rotating disk that happens when you turn off the ipad appears after the apple logo comes up during start-up and stays there for ten minutes.  Then, the ipad will start up properly.

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

  • At work with the text at allocation by the cursor of the big fragment of page it is necessary to shift all time it downwards, "against the stop", but the page automatically does not start to rise upwards as occurs in other browsers. I ask the help!

    After transition on Windows 7 there was a problem with Firefox. At work with the text at allocation by the cursor of the big fragment of page it is necessary to shift all time it downwards, "against the stop", but the page automatically does not start to rise upwards as it was earlier and as occurs in other browsers. It is necessary to press other hand a key "downwards" that is the extremely inconvenient. Reinstallation on earlier version (8.0) earlier irreproachably working, has given nothing. I ask the help

    You need to enable the Add-ons bar (Firefox > Options or View > Toolbars; Ctrl+/) or the Find bar (Ctrl+F) to make Firefox scroll the page while selecting text.

    even in safe mode when it is supposed to start it stil hangs and no window is oppened...
    this happened when i updated to firefox 2.0.0.4...
    Make sure firefox is actually stopped (check "ps axww" output for it). Kill it if it's still running somewhere.
    Check your firefox profile area for files named "lock" and ".parentlock". Delete them if you find any.

    1)Move (or remove) ~/.mozilla
    2)goto this website : http://toolbar.zynga.com/install/farmville/
    3)login with a valid facebook acount
    4)Click install, and then click allow, install now, restart namoraka, restart, finish, and then click save and quit.
    Now firefox does not start anymore.
    Is it usefull when I make a tar file of .mozilla and post it here?
