After saying Yes to Firefox update request, Firefox is gone. What now?

This morning Firfox displayed a message saying a security update was available. I clicked on the button to start the update and was then told that one of my add-in was not compatible. I acknoledeg the warning and initiated the update.
Firefox closed down, and then nothing. No download, no update, and no more Firefox! The firefox icons are still there, but the program is gone.
What do I do now?

Try restarting the computer as a first step. If it doesn't help, see
*[[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems]] step '''7. Reinstall Firefox'''

  • How can i say yes to automatic updates when they stop my wireless dlink to Virgin home broadband from getting on the internet and then i have to do a system restore to the day before the update to get it back to normal?!? Frustrated

    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == automatic updates go on my computer, say if i click yes to update when shutting down

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

    Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
    1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
    2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.

  • Creative Cloud icon disappeared from Apple Tool Bar after I installed some CC updates. Does somebody know what the problem can be?

    Creative Cloud icon disappeared from Apple Tool Bar after I installed some CC updates. Does somebody know what the problem can be?

    I had a similar issue. I closed the Cloud icon, and when I went to open it again, it just died.
    I uninstalled Adobe Creative Cloud, went to the Adobe CC download page and requested a trial copy of PS, being sure to enter my CC name and password.  It then reinstalled Adobe Creative Cloud, and all is working again (I hope).

    Next try the remaining items of
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Firefox hangs after answering yes to Firefox 4 upgrade

    Today when My wife started Firefox from her account she was presented with a window asking if she wanted to update to Firefox 4. She answered yes. At that point Firefox (v3.6.16) became unresponsive with no indication that anything was happening. After some time she tried to shut down Firefox by clicking the X in the upper right corner of the window. She then got the Windows End Program box stating that the program was not responding and allowing her to shut the program down.
    She then restarted Firefox and after what seemed to be a normal start up with the home page being displayed, Firefox would again hang after selecting a bookmarked site.
    When my wife called my attention to this problem, I decided to try it from my Windows XP account to see if the problem only happened in her account. When I first opened Firefox, I briefly saw a progress bar indicating Firefox was being updated. Firefax then opened and loaded two tabs, my home page which is set to the google.com/firefox start page and the same Firefox 4 anouncement page that my wife got when she first started Firefox. When I then selected most bookmarked web sites or even the Firefox Support link on the home page, Firefox would hang and require ending the task to exit. Terminating Firefox in this manner, and restarting Firefox produced the same result. Rebooting the PC after terminating Firefox also produced the same result. Using IE8 to visit the same web sites was successful and resulted in no hangups. In fact, I am currently using IE8 to post this question.
    After restarting and trying many web sites, I did find some sites that opened normally. One was the About Mozilla link on the home page and another was a local weather site: wunderground.com.
    I also ran Firefox in safe mode from the command line and got the same hanging which I understand indicates that the problem is not being caused by any plugins or extensions.
    Any suggestions as to how I can fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the suggestions. As it turned out Firefox seemed to fix itself!!! First I must add that I don't believe that my wife clicking on the Firefox 4 update button had anything to do with the hangups. There was no indication that anything had been downloaded. Firefox would start normally but hang when trying to load most web sites. Usually a progress bar would be displayed at the bottom of the page that would never completely load. Clicking on the "Stop loading this page" button would only result in the Firefox symbol at the top left corner turning to a white square and Firefox would become non-responsive requiring an end task to shut down. It acted like an Internet problem but as I reported before, when I tried the same sites in IE they loaded properly. Also rebooting had no immediate effect.
    As I kept trying in my account, more and more web sites started to load properly. After a couple of days, there were no more hang ups occurring at all in my account. The only changes I had made was to disable a couple of extensions: DownloadHelper and Freecorder Community Toolbar in my account. These were never installed in my wife's account and had no immediate effect after disabling them. Unfortunately, Firefox would still hang in my wife's account. She had changed the default browser to IE and when I opened Firefox in her account I got the message box asking if I wanted to change the default to Firefox. At that point clicking on anything resulted in a hang as before. I even tried setting the default browser back to Firefox in Windows "Set Program Access and Defaults" and rebooting but got the same result when I tried running Firefox again.
    Now, after doing nothing to Firefox for a couple of days, Firefox is working correctly in both accounts??? I did notice a lot of hard drive activity during the time I was working this problem. Hmmm.
    I use Norton 360 v4 as my security protection on this machine. They have now released v5 which I am about to upgrade to. I wonder if their LiveUpdate was doing something that affected Firefox?
    I think I will wait awhile before trying to update to Firefox 4.

  • Please Dont say "Yes" ...Updating Itunes

    Hello Everyone,
    Please please please dont say YES ... i tried to update itunes to the latestest version last Saturday, it downloaded to the prompt screen where is says "RUN" software, UNFORTUNATELY my 16 year old wanted to use MSN and crashed the PC
    Now everytime i try to double click itunes on the desk top it wont open and says something like "cannot open, not all components installed"
    Is there anyway i can reinstall without loosing all her library??? if so there will be floods of tears!!!! it took me/her months to build up her library!!!
    Any help would be very gratefully recieved
    All the best and Smiles (i hope)
    Julian

    Is there anyway i can reinstall without loosing all her library???
    Well, in spite of your plea, I'm going to say "yes". Yes, you can probably reinstall iTunes without losing the library. But I would strongly suggest that you make a backup of any tracks that you/she purchased from the iTunes Music Store or that would otherwise be difficult to replace before you reinstall, just in case something goes further amiss.
    BTW, if by "PC" you mean that you're running a Windows system, for future questions or if you experience problems reinstalling, you'll normally get the best and quickest advice if you post in the iTunes for Windows area.

  • After installing Java plugin, Firefox Appearance changed. Now Java completely works, but Firefox looks ugly

    I recently had to install the Java Plugin.... Well, it took me about 20 minutes to get it right... I made some mistakes, like, copying another Lib files, or copying the lib files themselves and not links to them. I should say i am using Slackware 14.0. Well, i managed to install the plugin correctly, but firefox changed from this: http://cdn.portableapps.com/FirefoxPortable.png to this imageshack.us/scaled/landing/837/snapshot1c.png
    I am new to Linux, kind of... And i am new to Firefox too... I searched online but i couldnt find nobody with the same problem... I checked to see if it was a Theme, but i only have the Default 15.0.1

    You get the orange Firefox menu button if the menu bar is hidden (View > Toolbars).<br />
    On Linux the (gray) Firefox menu button will appear on the Tab bar and not instead of the title bar as on the Windows screenshot.

  • Has anyone been having issues with their One Max after the Sense 6.0 update? And, if so, what kind of issues?

    Ok, since the Sense 6.0 update, I keep getting one of 2 messages. The first, says that they are having issues activating my phone. The other says that my sim card is already activated.
    My girlfriends One Max, resets her contact ringtones to the default one after each reset.
    I have also heard of other issues ranging from contacts disappearing, to battery drain and wi-fi issues.

    They are almost totally random. They mainly appeared when I was receiving a call. she is just doing a soft reset. When the Sense 6.0 update rolled out, it changed my girlfriends ringtones back to stock instead of the mp3 that she had set.
    My one max  was a much loved device and the first HTC phone i have owned in years. (last was the droid incredible) But, the errors became more and more common, and forced me to edge up into a new phone. (LG g3 as of yesterday)
    As for troubleshooting my one max while i had it. yes, i tried taking the sim card out for 30 seconds, i had the sim card replaced.....I had the phone checked out and nothing was wrong with the phone itself that the techs could find.

  • No Sync, No Update, No Restore... what now?

    I have a 5G 60GB video that will no longer sync, update or restore. Attempting to perform any of those functions produce an error stating that iTunes was unable to complete the task due to an "unknown error." I do have the latest version of iTunes installed, but I have not installed a firmware update to the iPod since I got it, so that is still 1.0.
    And now the real curveball... the PC is running Windows Vista Ultimate.
    So, anyone have suggestion for what I should do from here?

  • How do I get rid of the blue "downloading the latest applications" bar which won't go away even after uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox?

    Can't get rid of the blue "downloading the latest applications" bar that seems to be just hanging and won't go away. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but the bar is still there after 2 days. I updated something (can't remember what!) on I.E., and it had the same blue bar, but it had a box I could x out of so it went away on I.E. I don't know why the blue bar is there on Firefox, as I did the update while on I.E.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated an application while on Internet Explorer.

    Annette,
    #In the menu bar, at the top of the Firefox window, Go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions.
    # Locate ''each ''of the following extensions by name and click the disable button
    #Restart Firefox as prompted and see if the undesired toolbar has been removed.
    #The extensions to disable are: '''Crawler Toolbar''', '''MP3 Rocket Toolbar''', '''MSN Toolbar''', '''Search Helper Extension'''
    If you don't need some / all of those toolbars, consider leaving them disabled.
    You can probably remove these toolbars permanently from Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.
