After sleep browser won't open unless I do a restart, how do I fix?

If I open firfox and then let system go into sleep mode I can not reopen firefox unless I do a complete restart of the PC. I am using Windows XP

Goto File > Exit & try it...
'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

    Sounds like the app is having issues starting. Maybe choking on a file that didn't close correctly?
    Suggest going to System Preferences, General, place a check next to "Close windows when quitting the application".
    Then follow the direction in the link above. Namely, Force Quit that app and restart the computer.

  • After upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?

    after upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?
    before the upgrade, i could open time machine without the need for having the back up disk plugged in.

    Ok. I got it to work, sort of....
    As I mentioned before I tried the "disk password" and the "Time capsule Password" options to see if I can start the back up again or start a new backup. Neither worked. So I tried the firmware down grade, but like you said that did not work. I then decided to try the "Account password" option and I have never used this option before becasue it states that if there is data on the drive it would not be acessable after creating an account. Since I wiped out the disk that was nno problem. When I created the new account and choose the drive it asked for the user name and password. I entered the info for the new account I just created(FYI this has nothing to do with your login username and password), bingo! It worked!
    Now I have two partitions on the TC disk. The old one and now the new account. I am guessing this is to be used if I have multiple computers, which I don't.
    I any case, I am going to wipe out everything again and try again to do a backup the way I had it before.

  • Media Browser won't open iPhoto images after 10.4.5 update!@#$%^!@#$

    Media Browser won't open iPhoto images after 10.4.5 update!@#$%^!@#$
    I could use iPhoto images in Media Browser before the update - is this happening to anyone else?
    I have restarted... no change. Maybe I'll try opening and closing iPhoto once.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I am on Pages 2 also... Hmmm, Perhaps I just don't know what I am doing - New to Pages. I see my Library, Last Roll and all my albums in the Media Browser but when I double click one of them nothing happens - Is there some other way to open them?

  • I-Tunes won't open unless I'm connected to the internet

    I am a relatively new user to I-Tunes; when I try to open I-Tunes to play a CD or other files in my library, I-Tunes won't open unless I am connected to the Internet. Is this normal?

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Firefox won`t open unless refreshed

    Just this morning, at times Firefox 28 won`t open unless refreshed is pushed. Also, after refresh it still won`t open sometimes. Any ideas?

    What do you mean with refreshed?
    Do you need to click the Reload button on the location bar or do you need to start Firefox another time because Firefox closes without opening properly?
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Unable to connect and the browser won't open

    Hi My brother and I switched our phone for a while but when I got my phone back, the Browser won't open anymore. I tried to connect through other browser (Opera mini and UC browser) but its still the same. What am I gonna do? My father will not gonna buy me another phone if I my previous phone (Blackberry 8520), which is given by him also, have problems already. Please. I really need your expertise on this. Thank you and God Bless
    P.S: Yes, I do speak english but not that fluent. So I am very sorry for those grammatical errors  

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Delete and Resend Service Books
    KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
    If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Reboot
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you may have to WIPE your device and start over. To prepare, you'll want to have a full backup...refer to the link in my autosig for instructions.
    Good luck!

  • My browser won't open web pages for me. The server says it's not their fault and Safari can't find Google

    I use Firefox and had several tabs set to open when I logged on. But while these remain open, my browser won't open any more pages, even when the Google search page finds my own web page, it won't open it.
    The same thing happened when I tried my Safari browser, except this time it wouldn't even open Google. My server, a broadband/cable company says it has nothing to do with them and blame my laptop or browser. Any suggestions?

    I've sorted this out. I did an extensive hard disc search and found old anti-virus software I hadn't shut down or uninstalled. That done, everything's working again, sweet as a nut. Thank you!

  • IPhoto 9.4.3 suddenly won't open unless it's updated

    My iPhoto version shows in the Application folder as 9.4.3. I try to open it and get rerouted to the App Store to update it. When I try to update it I get a dialogue box that reads:
    "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
    The App Store shows an update is ready, but won't let me update. I tried to repurchase and the App Store won't resell it to me, only gives me the option of an update because I already have it installed. Then it won't update because it says I haven't yet bought it.
    So far as I know, no other user bought it nor was it refunded or cancelled. It always opened until suddenly it didn't anymore.
    What might have happened to the original iPhoto 9.4.3, and how would I get out of this loop where iPhoto won't open unless it's updated, the App Store has an update ready to install and won't let me have it or repurchase it?
    I'd be grateful for any ideas that will stop this confusing cycle.
    thanks.

    Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • Mission Control won't work after sleeping.  Upon Start up it's fine, but after sleeping it won't work by track pad or keyboard.

    Since updating, Mission Control won't work after sleeping.  Upon Start up it's fine, but after sleeping it won't work by trackpad or keyboard. I'm sure I use Mission Control more than most, so it's really irritating for me.

    No, the versions of iPhoto on the iPad and on OS X are totally different.
    What Apple ID are you using for the Mac App Store? Who else has access to that Apple ID, or what possible other Apple IDs could be in use? It's possible you'll need to purchase iPhoto to get the upgrade, though I'd think Software Update should offer you the correct version.

  • After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this?

    After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this? I can see the library icon on my external drive, but it doesn't show as a library in iPhoto. When I double click on the icon, nothing happens. When I choose it from alternate menu, doesn't open. Where do I get help?

    Peter
    Do you have a back up? What version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • After installing itunes update I cannot open my itunes  music files.  How can I fix this problem?

    I installed the latest Itunes update and after installing I cannot open my ITunes music files.  How do I fix this problem. 

    Hey Joey BOD,
    It sounds like you can't open your Music app on your iPhone after the update? First, try force closing the Music app if it is open in multitasking, which you can find out how to do here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5137
    And if that doesn't work, I would reset the device:
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    via: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    And if that doesn't resolve the issue then I would backup the device to iTunes and restore it. Just be cautious and back up first, since restoring deletes all content and settings:
