  • After Upgrading to new version Firefox will not open at all

    I am running Windows 7 - 64 bit version. Firefox prompted me to upgrade to the new version, which I did. It downloaded straightaway but after I installed it the programme does not appear on screen at all. This hapenned several weeks ago so I uninstalled it and went back to an earlier version. Now I cannot work out how to do this again, so I am stuck without Firefox altogether.

    I would be interested if you or someone else can tell me what the '''IEMB3''' in your User Agent string is.
    If you get to the stage where Fx 6 seems to be installed, try starting it in Firefox Safe Mode - hold down the Shift Key as you double click on the Firefox icon>ignore the page that opens>Continue. If the browser opens O.K. you need to do some Troubleshooting - in Default theme -

  • After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

    After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

    The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
    Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

  • After rebooting following an update firefox will not open how do I fix this?

    I clicked on a firefox update window that led to me rebooting my laptop. After rebooting I cannot get firefox to open no matter what I do.I even uninstalled it then re-installed it. It simply will not open.I click on icon in desktop get the little circle thing for about 10 seconds fans speed up then circle stops and fans go quite and nothing. I've tried everything I can think of but firefox will not open

    Have you also asked in the Adobe forums?  To have people read your post, best not to include long crash reports until asked to do so.

  • Firefox will not open certain websites, unless I close and restart the browser. Anyone hear of this ?

    Some webpages, for example newegg.com, will not open at all. But if I close ff and then restart ff - newegg.com will load up almost instantly. Yahoo's pages have problems as well - especially if there is a video with a news article. Many times - there simply wont even be a placeholder. I will read the article - and then realize there should be a video accompanying it - I'll have to view in IE - which I hate.

    I can press ctrl for a new tab but otherwise a new tab does not open. I actually need help regarding this new Synch which apparently will be in Firefox automatically in an upcoming version so I am asking how that will synch with people who use LastPass-of course because I use this very successfully and really am not eager to change the set up that I have in place at this time.
    I have read through endless FAQ trying to find anyone else who has this question or concern but have found nothing. Can you please tell me how that service will get along with LastPass which does basically the same thing as Synch-it is probably spelled wrong as it looks wrong to me but if I click back to where this issue began, I will lose all of this question so please respond for the upcoming service synch.

  • Firefox will not open Gmail, or load all the data on the google tab and will not load Outlook lite on a webpage correctly.

    In the last couple of days when I start Firefox it will not properly load the Google home page I set up. It will not load the calendar or Date and Time. When I try to open gmail it will not open. I use Internet mail using outlook lite and it does not open properly formatted. All of these problems did not exist until two days ago. I have even gone back and did a system restore 8 days ago to see if that would correct the problem.
    Thank you

    For the settings to check to ensure that Firefox opens your email client, see [[changing the e-mail program used by Firefox]]. I don't know why it shows the wrong email address.

  • Firefox will not open any website and I have done what your help section has instructed. after it updated quit working.

    After Firefox updated I cannot open any website but explorer can. I have done everything your help site suggested. I like firefox and would like to keep using it. Can you help? I am using windows vista 64 bit operating system.

    After upgrading, sometimes your firewall will not recognize the new Firefox version and, therefore, not allow it to access the internet. To remedy that situation,
    #you must remove Firefox from your firewall's allowed applications list,
    #then restart firefox, go to a website, the firewall will detect the new Firefox version and
    #then give the necessary permissions for your firewall to allow Firefox access to the internet

  • Firefox Will Not Open Any Websites

    Well, no one seems to be able to address this. My Explorer is working fine, but after updating my Firefox, it's as dead as a door nail.
    You know, I first started using Firefox because Explorer just wasn't stable. And for awhile, Firefox was the answer to my problems. But then it began adding search bars and other crap, and the next thing I knew, Firefox began shutting down and then starting back up with an "Ooops, this is embarrassing!" message.
    For computer users, stability (not features) is everything. I know Mozilla has to add on all these crappy search functions to put meat on the table, but Google is still the best. I just reinstalled Firefox with no improvement. I wish they had a "roll back" feature so we could go back to the previous version.
    Now I'm trying to post this message and am getting an error message saying, "You must specify a post subject!" And guess what? There's no place that will accept a post subject!
    Very strange....

    '''''"after updating my Firefox, it's as dead as a door nail"'''''
    Your firewall is probably not recognizing the new version and is blocking its connection. Clear all references to Firefox from your firewall's program list, let the firewall re-detect the new Firefox version, and give it the proper permissions to connect. See:

    '''''"it began adding search bars and other crap"'''''
    The toolbars/search tools are probably piggy-backing on other things you are downloading and installing on your system. This most frequently happens when downloading "free" software; nothing is really "free", is it. Before downloading, carefully read everything and notice any mention of a toolbar or search engine. During the installation, look for an opt-out to check or un-check for the "extras". I have attached a couple of examples in the lower left corner of my post (from ClamWin Free Anti-virus and Foxit Reader).

  • Firefox will not open secure websites anymore.

    When I try to enter a secure website, this message pops up asking me for a password: "Please enter the master password for the FIPS 140 Cryptographic, Key and". None of my passwords work.

  • After update last night my firefox will not open did restore it still does not work?

    not an extension the update from last night

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    You can try to reset the preferences if that didn't work.
    See also:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Firefox will not load any websites at all

    I have been using Firefox for more than awhile, as IE 10 would not work for me, but a few days ago Firefox stopped working all together. I will click Firefox and all that happens is it loads a New Tab, and it has a blank page with no web address. If i type in a web address, it 'loads' for a split second and still is a blank page. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and did not work. I have also reset Firefox, and nothing happens except i get a pointless toolbar back. I do not have Chrome, but IE is working fine for me as i have downgraded to IE 9. I do prefer Firefox though, as it is a bit faster and more simply organized. Is there anything else i can try to fix this problem?

    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.

  • Firefox quit working will not open any websites at all. Bookmarks and Menu are gone too.

    Mozilla was updating itself and zonealarm wanted me to allow it while I was in middle of a online school test question so I clicked deny just to try and finish the test. This did nothing but keep opening the zonealarm window to see if the update could be done, which I finally did but now mozilla is not working on any websites and i've uninstalled it and reinstalled it and also added the update settings but its not working. passwords and now im basically locked out of them.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that 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.
