Anyone unable to open firefox 10 but can run 9?
cant run 10. wont open and freezes computer
A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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 open firefox - get message that " a copy is already open and only one copy can be open at a time. I have dragged the app to the waste basket and downloaded another firefox app. However same result". I have a IMAC , V.10.6.3.
I get above message when I click on the firefox icon.This worked, I used the method described in this link http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=365156, and opened the Mozilla profile screen with the terminal on my mac, using the language given in the links. Then I duplicated my original profile to save the bookmarks, etc. Put them in a folder listed Duplicate profile with the date. With the open profile screen, I deleted my original profile, created new profile folder and then a new profile. Note that profile cannot be created in the system library, it must be created on the disc, because the library will not allow writing into it. After I created my new profile folder, I dragged all my old information into it, and it worked. Firefox closed and the error disappeared. You must be VERY careful to make sure Firefox is closed anytime you are doing anything with the profile folders. I think that is what caused my original problem.

I restarted my Firefox this morning and it automatically updated to version 9.0.1. Since that update, I am unable to open Firefox. When I try to open it (and this is on a Mac), it does not respond and freezes with a white screen, the tab says "connecting...," and there are no bookmarks or anything showing on the browser. It does not respond at all - I cannot even click into the navigation to change any of the preferences. Please, someone help! Not having Firefox is killing me!

Can open adobe reader, but can't open a pdf.
can open adobe reader, but can't open a pdf. have uninstalled reader 2 times and reinstalled it, but still get same results. running windows xp.
Three things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Recently when I log on to my pc and try to open Firefox, a dialogue box appears and tells me something like - firefox is already open, close firefox and try again. As I haven't opened firefox, I don't know what the dialogue box means. I went into task manager and the firefox program was not shown as open. I clicked the processes tab and deleted firefox from the list. I use Firefox 4 b9, this also happened when I had 4 b7. I uninstalled the former but no change. I reset system to earlier date, ran a virus check but all ok. I downloaded Firefox 3.6, then followed the upgrade for 4 b9 and all was ok until I was using my media player 2 days ago and tried to watch BBCiPlayer at the same time which is when the problem arose again. Also Firefox extremely slow to open. I managed to get online this time by going into History and clicking a website I used some time ago before all the above happened.
I am using IE to post this message on Firefox.
It has happened again. At 23:05 (UK time) I openedFirefox on the firefox site not IE. I opened my btinternet.com email account but at 23:41 the tab had not opened fully and still trying to load. I closed firefox and tried to open it again and here are the correct details of the dialogue box which appeared.
' (?) Firefox is already running. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox proces, or restart your system'.
I cannon do a restart at present as the tv part of my pc is recording a movie so I will try again later.
Anyone out there that can help us please? Thank you. -
After opening Firefox, I was always able to in & out of it till I shut down my computer. Now, after opening Firefox, I go to another application then back to Firefox, I have to "Quit" Firefox and reopen. How can eliminate the back & forth of starting & quitting Firefox before I shutdown my computer?
uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert -
I downloaded an Adobe file from my email (service provider is MWeb) but now cannot find it on my hard drive and it's not in the recycle bin. It does, however, appear in Firefox downloads but I'm unable to open it from there. How can I recover the file?
Thanks Rob.
I actually had no clue what the core problem was caused by. So it's Windows itself...that helps some.
I'll resubmit there. It might actually have saved time for it to simply have been moved to there instead of off-topic, though I suppose you have to follow protocol. -
Didn't know this was a "descirption" field, but, my problem, as shown below, is that I cannot easily open Firefox as I once could. So, I'm using I.E., but I wish I were back in Firefox as my bookmarks/favourites are there.

My quick launch buttons work great for everything but FoxFire??? Also when Fox Fire updates, it always deletes all my quick launch buttons??? Is there a reason why it does this??? Please assist me because I prefer using FoxFire over all others. Thank you Tony

while browsing suddenly the system crashed and the bottom panel says " stopped".When closed and re-opened, I got a prompt that says firefox is still running and i have to close to open again or have to restart the computer but it doesn't work
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== just happenedYou get message "firefox is still running" and computer restart doesn't help you. Try the advice below.
Make sure Firefox isn't running (end firefox.exe process in Task Manager or restart computer)
Find your profile folder
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
find file "parent.lock" in it and delete it (the file is empty, its function is to signify to Firefox whether it's already open or not).
Then try to open Firefox again. Will it start or not? What will it say?
