  • Firefox will not start, even in Safe Mode. Evidence suggests that this is due to an incompatibility with the latest update of Java.

    Firefox will not start in WinXP. (I am sending this from an alternate browser.)
    I believe that this is due to some incompatibility with the latest update of Java. I believe that one of the tabs from my previous session included a Java application, and this is causing the difficulty. In recent days, since the last update of Java, I have had difficulty in loading linked pages with Java applications into Firefox, and have needed to switch to a different browser to do this.
    Now I cannot even start the browser, presumably due to the presence of a Java application on one of the restored tabs.
    When I now try to start Firefox, my ZoneAlarm security s/w presents the message "Java(TM) Quick Starter binary is trying to access the Internet." I click "Allow", but Firefox will not start. If I click "Deny", the same result. The same thing happens when I try to start Firefox in Safe Mode, I cannot even start Firefox in Safe mode.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == after recent update of Java

    You can try to disable the Java Quick starter and the Java Console extension in the Control Panel > Java.
    Control Panel > Java > Advanced tab > Miscellaneous >Java Quick Starter (disable)
    You can also disable the Java plugin in Firefox: Tools > Add-ons > Plugins

  • TS1717 I-tunes will not open even in safe mode on windows 7 32bit. A reload does not work either.

    I-tunes stopped working on my Windows 7 32 bit computer. It will not open in safe mode or anything else. I even tried reinstalling and still nothing.

    You're unlikely to get a reply. It's pretty much unused as far as I'm aware. You need to get a crash id outside of firefox for me to help. Press Start key + R and a dialog should open. in the textbox type %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\submitted\
    Now, open a few of the files and copy the code from each of them to this thread. I will then research your bug with the help of the Mozilla Crash Reporter.

  • Thunderbird will not open, even in safe mode

    Recently Thunderbird refused to open on my Windows 7 64 bit pc. I have turned off all antivirus/malware programs, uninstalled with Revo uninstaller and reinstalled Thunderbird, tried to start it in safe mode. I have had task manager open while starting Thunderbird and it does not even appear in the window.
    I am close to migrating to Opera. Please help me fix this problem.

    AS you have Windows 7 64 bit pc, Thunderbird should have installed in this directory:
    * C:\Program Files(x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe
    Check the shortcut on desktop is pointing to correct directory:
    Right click on Thunderbird shortcut icon and select Properties.
    General tab
    Under 'Attributes'
    Read only and hidden must NOT be selected.
    click on 'Shortcut' tab
    make sure the 'Target' is this:
    "C:\Program Files(x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe"
    click on 'Security' tab
    make sure your UserAccount name has permission to run TB
    click on OK
    Make hidden files and folders visible:
    The AppData folder is folder is a hidden folder; to show hidden folders, open a Windows Explorer window and choose "Organize → Folder and Search Options → Folder Options → View (tab) → Show hidden files and folders".
    Create a folder on desktop called 'TB Backup'
    Then create a backup of your Profile name folder.
    Locate this directory:
    C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\Profile name\
    Right click on the profile name - (usually xxxxxxxx.default where the x's are letters and numbers) - select Copy and then Paste this into the Folder called 'TB Backup'.
    If you have more than one Profile which you use - copy paste that as well.
    Then look for and delete all the contents from these two directories:
    * C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\
    * C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\
    Then click on thunderbird shortcut icon to run Thunderbird.
    If this fails:
    right click on Thunderbird icon and select 'Run as administrator'
    Thunderbird should create a new default Profile.
    It will then ask if you want to create mail accounts - do not create mail accounts - exit Thunderbird - it must be closed - this is important..
    Locate your saved Profile in the TB Backup folder.
    Open the profile name folder and copy all the contents.
    Locate the new Profile here:
    C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\profile folder name
    Paste the copied contents into the profile folder name overwriting all the default files.
    As an aid you should be copying the Contents of Profile folder name - see image below as an aid.
    then try to restart Thunderbird.
    Please report back on results.

  • When I close Firefox, it closes on my desktop, but when I try to open it again, it appears to think that it is already open and will not open--even in safe mode.

    The only way I seem to be able to reopen Firefox is to reboot the computer, which, needless to say, is not a very helpful choice. Is this a common problem? I am running Windows 7.

    Iphoto book will not upload even in safe mode when trying to buy book, any suggestions on how to complete the "BUY BOOK" process?

    Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the fix below:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    After each run thru the repair process see if you can create a PDF file of the book as described in this Apple Document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. If you can try ordering the book.  If you can't finish trying all of the otpions and then boot into Safe mode and try there.

  • Firefox will not open even in the safe mode

    Started with the addition of beta 4 where gmail would not open and it froze firefox. Added whatever the new addition was yesterday (3/14/11) and then firefox would not even open. Tried safe mode but it still will not open. Error message below

    Do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-beta.html
    * Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * 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.
    Create a new profile exclusively for the Firefox 4 version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

  • 2007 Mac Pro will not boot, even in safe mode

    Hello,
    I have a Mac Pro purchased in 2007 that had been working well up until a few months ago.  I had trouble with Microsoft Word 2008 repeatedly crashing; I repaired the hard disk and moved up to Word 2011, and the problem seemed to resolve. 
    Yesterday, the machine crashed, and I am not able to start it up, even in safe mode.  I have tried resetting the SMC and NVRAM/PRAM, removed and cleaned the graphics card (NVIDIA 7300 GT), and removed the 3rd party RAM I installed at least 2 years ago.
    When booting to the internal hard drive, the Apple logo will show, then a blue screen followed by a gray screen with a frozen cursor.  When I boot to an external hard drive or the OSX Leopard install DVD, the screen flickers like below:
    When I tried to boot in safe mode while holding shift + command + V, the safe boot froze after reading:
    panic (cpu 2 caller 0x2abf6a): kernal trap at 0x0029a4bc, type 14= page fault, registries:
    [4 lines of 2-3 letter acronyms and numbers]
    Error code: 0x00000000
    I am thinking of buying a new graphics card (ATI Radeon 5700), but I want to be sure (as much as possible) that will solve the problem I am having.  Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
    Thank you,
    Cheryl

    replace the system drive
    always clone your system
    yes dump the 7300 if you plan to keep using it and use Lion
    A clean install would be nice start, on say 120GB SSD or something too
    And 2x2GB FBDIMM set is $30 if you need a set
    AHT is on your OEM DVD from 20007
    dust, temps and air flow is also important

  • ITunes will not start - even in safe mode

    I have been using iTunes for years and have been happy.  A week ago it refused to open.  I followed most of the instructions that I could find to correct.
    Right now I have iTunes and all supporting applications installed.  When I start iTunes in the Program List, the iTune.exe *32 process starts, however, it does not show up as an application.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled, follwoed the instructions for a "fresh" reinstall.  I have been working this for over a week (off and on) and I cannot seem to figure it out.  It will not open in safe mode either.
    Has anyone had this problem?  Anyone have ideas?

    Yes I did perform this step.  When I set up a new user, the first time I ran iTunes in safe mode it performed a configuration.  Then it simply did not run.  Again, the background process executed and ran.  The application however, did not run.
    So you've established it's a systemwide issue. Did you then proceed to carry out the System-wide troubleshooting procedures described in the document? As it says in the document:
    If you have the same issue in the new user account, proceed to the "System-wide troubleshooting"       section. If you don't experience the same issue, proceed to the "User-specific troubleshooting"       section.
    Click the heading System-wide troubleshooting to expand the section and show the list of procedures.

  • Firefox will not launch, including in Safe Mode or the Profile Manager

    Firefox on my other machine will not visibly launch. There is occasionally a message stating "you already have a Firefox session running, please close it before opening a new one" when I make a second attempt. I have tried to follow all the directions in any of the troubleshooting guides or in the forum posts on other sites, but I cannot even open the Profile Manager or open Firefox in safe mode. We have done a fresh install and that has not helped. Any additional assistance would be appreciated.

    You can try to disable the Java Quick starter and the Java Console extension in the Control Panel > Java.

  • Firefox crashes on opening even in safe mode so I can not adjust any settings - Crash ID: bp-6c9dc360-32db-4a34-968b-9474f2121230.

    I have a 64 bit windows computer running Windows 7. For the past few months Firefox has been crashing on opening - occasionally opening on my husband's profile but not mine. I am now using IE9 running as administrator but would prefer to use Firefox.
    I can not adjust any of the settings, plugins etc as I can not open the program at all. After the first attempt I have go to the task manager and stop firefox.exe. Then on my next opening attempt I get the error messages again. I have sent off numerous crash reports to Mozilla.

    That looks like a problem with a component of your Nvidia display driver: [@ @0x0 | nvd3dum.dll@0x3a7434 ]<br />
    I'm not sure how to fix this as an internet search on this file doesn't give any real solutions.
    First make sure that you have the latest drivers for your graphics display card.<br />
    If it started after an update of those drivers the see if you can role back to the previous version of the drivers.
