After system restore firefox wont open is crtashing i uninstalled and reinstalled no help
it trys to open and the crash reporter comes up. i restored to a date when it was working. i had a virus attack that was removed
It is always better to do a reinstall of Firefox after doing a system restore. The result of a system restore can be unpredictable and may cause some files to get replaced by older versions. That can also happen with files in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]. Files with the file extension .ini and .js are the most obvious candidates.
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]<br />
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore

After i used system restore, firefox wont open
Tonight i had to use system restore and restored my computer to early this morning. Everything else works, i can connect to the internet if i use IE, but when i goto click on Firefox Icon it won' do anything now.
After you have tried to open FF, is the process firefox.exe running? you can check that in task manager. If it is, you are not the only one experiencing this problem see thread;

My firefox wont load anymore I tried uninstalling and reinstalling
I was on Facebook and the page was taking forever to load so I closed it. I then tried to reopen it but an error message saying that Firefox was already opened. I didnt not see any running so I ran my task manager and there was nothing there. When I tried to reopen it nothing happened. I then uninstalled and re-installed and now NOTHING is happening. Please help me.....
HI LaRon02,
It could be that it did not close properly. However there are also these steps to check: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-already-running-not-responding#w_remove-the-profile-lock-file]
That will run you through the lock file an dthe file permissions on the profile folder.
When you uninstalled, did you removed the profile files in the Program Files folder under Mozilla Firefox? If so, please make sure to empty the trash bin as well.
Please post back with your results. -

After updating my iPad 2 to ios7, my kindle cloud reader will not open. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app but it still won't open.
I am experiencing the same thing. My Kindle cloud reader (icon/shortcut placed on my iPad screen) was working fine before I updated to ios7. I can go to Amazon's website and directly log into the cloud reader and it works fine, but when I make a copy/shortcut onto my iPad's screen (from Safari), and try to login, the login screen just sits there doing nothing. I can even put in a false username and password, hit enter, and the login screen just sits there. Knowing that Apple has made life as difficult as it can for Amazon/Kindle ( demanding outrageous fees for user to purchase books directly through the Kindle app), I wonder if the ios7 was designed to give kindle cloud readers trouble. Note, you could always login to the cloud reader directly from the amazon site, purchase the books, then use the actual kindle reader ( where thanks to Apple you can't purchase books) to read the books.

After successfully installing the iTunes upgrade to 10.6.1, Now I cannot open and access itunes. I have tried a complete uninstall and reinstall and it is still not working. I have looked through many support communities for answers. I added an iPad 2 almost a year ago and all was fine until my upgrade to the "cloud services" and upgrade to new version. I have been without iTunes on my PC for a month. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
I too have only recently encountered this problem. I have been able to burn disks before but it keeps making all these weird sounds. It might be a hardware problem but the fact that everything else that uses a disk works I doubt it.

Firefox closes itself. I have uninstalled and reinstalled five times in 2 months. What can I do?
When I click on the icon, it does not open but when I try to open it, I get the message that another version is open. I can't open it to shut it down. I have to restart my computer. This has been ongoing for months. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but it just happens again and again. I'm over it.
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

After system restore to back up have lost texts, photos and app data
Speakers not working on iphone all of a sudden and volume switches not working (just the volume comes up but no bars at the bottom). So did system restore and more problems.
After I did this restore (to my backup done today) to my iphone 4s, I now have no text messages on my phone, no photos and no data on my nike running app (6months of records of runs). Have searched through these forums and still stuck.
I think I'm going to have to take my iphone somewhere for the speaker issue, but have no idea where as optus sent it out to me directly via mai l(Adelaide, Australia).
In the meantime, I really want my texts, photos and app data back on my phone.
any help HUGELY appreciated..thanks for your reply. I am trying the restore again now.
But no, I still have no sound, so it was all for naught. Its fine if I have headphones in, and fine if its in a dock or connected to bluetooth, the phone also rings and I can hear people on the phone: the only sound that doesnt work is music playing through the speaker, and video. Also when I press the volume up and down buttons, nothing works. I suspect there is something wrong with the docking connection as far as I can see from other peoples questions on here.
But the loss of texts and app data is just the icing on the cake -
Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook app update? I updated it on my iPad 2 yesterday, now it will not open app at all. I have restarted iPad, uninstalled app and reinstalled, several times and still it will not work! Any suggestions? I have also closed the append still no results!
I just started having this yesterday. It's only happened twice, but it's annoying. My wife texted me that she was coming home last night, and it showed up immediately on my iPod Touch but not my iPhone. I opened my iPhone and it soon updated. Worked fine after that. Then just a moment ago today my wife texted me and the same thing happened. I heard my iMac and iPod Touch receive the message but it didn't display on my phone until I opened the phone and it showed up again a little bit thereafter. I suppose I'll send Apple some feedback on this issue.

after downloading the new itunes and also ios 5 for my ipad 2, I cannot get itunes to open for more than 3 seconds without it crashing on me. I have uninstalled it and re-installed it with no luck. Windows says iTunes has stopped working. I have also tried a "repair" of the program but nothing. Help please?!
Do you have Internet Security Software turned on in your Internet Explorer?
I turned mine off, as I have Norton AV. Go into Internet Explorer and check to see if you have that on and try turning that off...and then try to get back onto FF. You may have to restart your computer, I'm not sure, as I'm not a techie. I just know that the Internet Security Software clashed with my Norton AV.
Good luck!!!
Donna
PS Go with the user's suggestion above me, sounds the right way to go...thank God for the techies, eh? :) -

After system restore i reinstalled firefox, how to get back bookmarks etc with old firefox data?
After system restore the only thing i have is old firefox data on desktop if all bookmarks, passwords are recovered it will be great help.
P.S
i reinstall firefox from drive other than c ,that was in downloaded form.
ThanksThe "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop has been created as the consequence of resetting Firefox.
Doing a Session Restore may have reverted the profiles.ini file to a previous version that hasn't registered the new profile folder that a reset had created, so you may need to check for this.
* C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and Windows 7 and later versions are hidden folders.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
If you have a profile folder that is more recent than the "Old Firefox Data" on the desktop then you can use edit the profiles.ini file and change the path of the currently default profile to the name of the profile folder as you find in Document and Settings.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_a_missing_profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
It is always best to be cautious with using System Restore as this can cause some file to be replaced with older copies, i.e. your Firefox installation and profile folder can get inconsistent and you may have to reinstall Firefox as well.
