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 -

  • I upgraded from 3.6.13 to Beta 4.0 and now Firefox will not open at all I tried to uninstall to start again but it will not uninstall either it does nothing.

    I uninstalled Beta 4 and re-installed 3.6.13 now Firefox will not open at all I tried to uninstall to start again but it will not uninstall either it does nothing, I have been using Firefox for a long time but cannot resolve this problem can anyone help and give me a solution please. As I use Firefox as my web browser it is very frustrating.
    The fact it will not uninstall appears to be something completely new as nobody I know who uses Firefox has ever encountered this in the past.

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox 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.

  • 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?

  • I was told I had to upgrade Firefox to 4.0, downloaded the dmg, launched it and now Firefox will not open at all.

    I was told I had to upgrade Firefox to 4.0, downloaded the dmg, launched it and now Firefox will not open at all. It tells me "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items." Also, that "Firefox cannot be opened because of a problem." And it give a bunch of code. This is my main browser. What is happening here? My OS X is 10.6.7. Has this caused a problem?

    If you right-click on your Photoshope.exe, select Properties, there should be a Compatibility tab. There you can select Windows XP, Windows 2000, Winows 98 or 95. One of these should allow you to open Photoshop 6, unless you mean CS6.

  • Firefox will not open at all. Google Chrome main browser.

    Google Chrome my main web browser with Comcast as home page.
    Now Firefox will not open at all. What do I do. Delete Firefox and reinstall is what I think?

    Yes, i would try reinstalling Firefox first.
    A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
    Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
    Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
    Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.

  • Firefox will not open at all, no matter how many times I click it.

    Firefox will not open at all. I have tried troubleshooting, I have tried right clicking it and clicking "Run As Administrator", and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. When i try open it, it does not come up with any error messages or anything. The loading icon appears then disappears, without firefox opening. Nothing I try opens firefox.

    You can
    1. Kill firefox.exe through the Task Manager, to open the taskmanager hit Win + R and enter taskmgr.exe in the window, hit enter, right click firefox.exe and hit "end all processes" or something similar.
    OR
    2. Boot into safe mode '''with networking''' and delete the Firefox install folder said above.

  • After today's auto download, firefox will not start, at all, any way!

    after today's auto upload, Firefox will not come up, at all, no matter what I try

    Have you tried to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]?
    What about [[Managing profiles]]?
    Try to download the latest Firefox (3.6.4) from website. I hope your settings will not be lost; possibly, it was something with network connection, and Firefox updated only one half of itself; that's why I recommend to download it from website and install manually.

  • Firefox will not open at all. I only get the Mozilla Crash Reporter over and over.

    After updating yesterday, Firefox will not open. I repeatedly get the Mozilla Crash Reporter. I've scanned my computer for malware, I've tried to open it in safe mode (it won't), I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled Mozilla, but nothing works. Each time I reinstall, I still get the Mozilla Crash Reporter. The program will not open at all.

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

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 at all (regular, safe mode, profile manager).

    Firefox hung while using the Garmin import plugin on the mapmyrun.com page. No crash report was provided. After closing it, firefox will no longer open.
    It appears in the taskmanager momently, but then disappears before any window appears. It never consumes more than 1004K of RAM before it disappears.
    It will not open in regular mode, safe mode, or in profile manager. In each case the result is the same.
    I rebooted. No change.
    I reinstalled it over itself. No change.
    I completely uninstalled it, and then reinstalled it. No change.
    I deleted sessionstore.js and replaced it with sessionstore.bak. No change.
    I can't open the profile manager.

    You can do a disk check with the chkdsk.exe program.
    If you run the chkdsk.exe program from a cmd.exe Command window then you can read the response from the chkdsk.exe program.
    Open a cmd.exe window:<br />
    Start &gt; Run: cmd.exe &lt;press Enter&gt;
    At the command prompt (>) type or Copy&Paste: chkdsk.exe /f /r &lt;press Enter&gt; (put a space before /f and /r)
    If you get something like: Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? y/n then answer the question with "Y" and close all programs and reboot the computer.

  • Firefox will not open at all, no message , nothing. The other browser (internet explorer) opens fine. Do I delete the old program and reinstall it? It works fine on the other two accounts on this computer.

    no other details, I click on foxfire, the hourglass figure
    appears for a few seconds then goes off and nothing else happens.

    Try the procedures in the [[Firefox will not start]] article.

  • Firefox will not open at all. After click the hourglass comes up and then goes away and nothing happens at all. Nothing will load past the desktop. I cannot get into firefox at all to enable anything or disable anything.

    When i click on the mozilla icon on the desktop the arrow will spin (VISTA) and will then disappear. Mozilla will not enable or even pop up or anything. I am still looking at the desktop and not mozilla. I lick on the icon many times and nothing ever enables, still stuck looking at the desktop and no Internet. Not to bring up your rival, but IE will open half way and then say not responding and will freeze and i must restart the computer every time. I have to use opera now because IE and Mozilla will not enable and Mozilla wont even pop up or enable or anything...just the desktop and no net. ONCE AGAIN MOZILLA WILL NOT ENABLE, SO I CANNOT GO TO TOOLS OR ANYTHING.

    I have exactly the same issue. After FF upgraded on its own to version 5, it won't open from start menu, taskbar, desktop icon, or even by pressing firefox.exe in program files directory. It does so by pressing a link at msn messenger, inside Outlook etc.
    Disabling all addons, didn't help. Moreover, I can't start FF in safe mode or start profile manager (Start > Run> firefox.exe -ProfileManager).
