Can't open Firefox on Yahoo since I was hacked into (changed password)

I have been using Firefox for a couple of years. People started getting strange spam E-Mails from me so I changed my Yahoo password. Now I cannot get into Firefox. Have been using Google Chrome, but don't like it.

Don't give up. I have 4 mailboxes on my iPad, one of which is Hotmail and they all work just fine. Here's a link that will give you directions on how to set up your Hotmail account as Exchange. Maybe this will work better for you: http://www.iphonehacks.com/2010/08/how-to-setup-hotmail-using-exchange-activesyn c-on-your-iphone-ipad-and-ipod-touch-for-push-email-calendar-contacts.html

Can't open Firefox with Yahoo home page. Have done so for years. Needs to be fixed.

Received error message: An error occurred during a connection to www.yahoo.com. security library: improperly formatted DER-encoded message. (Error code: sec_error_bad_der)
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
Been using Yahoo as my home page for years and years and all of a sudden it's a problem. I can open it easily on Safari browser even though I don't have an Apple computer. So the problem has to be with Firefox, not Yahoo. I've read all of your solutions, tried troubleshooting them, and it still doesn't work. I contacted Yahoo and they haven't responded, probably because the problem isn't on their end, but on Firefox.
Please fix or I will have to stop using Firefox as my primary browser.

I copied all of this. BTW I need something very basic as I am not tech savvy at all. Thank you.

Can't open the old project since the report generation vi changed.

when i open an old file(executable before) , i found the vis (in pic.1) is not executable.
and cannot find the corresponding icon in the functions palette(see pic.2).
how can i get the old vi ?

Is your problem that have these VIs in your block diagram, but you can not find them in your palette? Then is is not a problem . They have to come from somewhere on your disk. It is a simple task to edit your palettes

Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

I can't open firefox. The home page doesn't come up, I just keep getting the Crash Reporter asking to restart/quit but every time I do this the same message comes back.

I can't open Firefox. The home page doesn't come up, I just keep getting the Crash Reporter asking me to restart/quit but every time I do this the same message comes back. I've not been able to use Firefox for days now.

Since a few days we have a lot of crashes with [http://www.trusteer.com/product/trusteer-rapport Trusteer Rapport]. If you have this program, try to disable it and see if that stops the crashing. 
You can stop Rapport using Start Menu > Programs > Trusteer Rapport > Stop Rapport 
You can ask their helpdesk when an updated version of their product will be made available or, if you don't need this software, uninstall it. 
http://www.trusteer.com/support/en/report-problem 
If you do not have Rapport, then we need to have a crash report ID. When you send Mozilla a crash report it just puts it in a giant database. We have no way of looking it up without the Report ID. I have no idea what is wrong without looking up the crash report. Please get the Report ID of your latest crash report.

I can't open Firefox no more, I try clicking on the icon but it doesn't even load anymore.

After some time I realized I can not open Firefox anymore.
I have always used Firefox as my default browser and I really like their features, it's the best browser for me, but for 2 weeks I haven't had the possibility to open it.
I have tried many ways, such as try to open new tab, or try to open new windows, or try to open new private session but none worked. It's impossible to load Firefox. I have been searching on different sites to finally resolve my problem but it didn't help me at all.
I also reinstalled it many times but the same problem.
Thanks in advance and any help will be welcomed.

sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. This may not be a problem with the fire fox instead this may be a problem with your computer.
Plz check your computer for virus mainly "Trojan". download an antivirus and run a full scan and also be updated to latest fire fox version.

Can only open firefox once, have to restart to open more than one browser. can't upload any pictures the box doesn't pop up, my browser settings are diff now

Firefox just changed out of nowhere. I can only open firefox once... I used to have atleast 2 browsers up using them both on different sites, but now I can't have but one firefox browser up (not tabs, but firefox pages) Also when I am trying to upload images on ebay or any other site nothing happens... nothing pops up. I click it over and over and nothing even pops up. This is exactly what happens with the firefox browser in my first question... I can click the firefox icon a million times and nothing comes up. My tabs are all gone and it doesn't show anything like I had before this all changed? Did I reset everything some how? I do not recall clicking anything to go back... I do remember clicking an update because it kept poping up so I did it and that is the last thing I remember before this happened! UGHHH!

As I asked previously are you able to have tabs open as a window by using the right clicking option ?
When you close Firefox you should use
*'''Firefox button -> File -> Exit '''
Are you doing that ?
I suspect what may be happening is Firefox is hanging as it closes down.
* see [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix#w_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it]]_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it
* this explains how to check & if necessary kill the process [["Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message - How to fix it#w_end-firefox-processes]]_end-firefox-processes
A related possible problem is that you may have built up many copies of the restore files. These are stored in the Firefox profile. The easiest method of finding the profile location istouse
*use '''Firefox button -> Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> [Show Folder]'''
*see [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
You need to look for the files ''sessionstore.js'' and numbered duplicates of that. Delete them.
* see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Multiple_sessionstore.js_files

I can not open Firefox due to a virus. Can I un-install and then re-install Firefox and save my original setup and favorites

I can not open Firefox due to a virus.
When trying to open Firefox, the program directed the computer to shut down, and prevented me from going into Safe mode.
The virus only affected Firefox and rebooting in Safe.
The virus has been scrubbed, but I get the crash report every time I try to open Firefox. Can I install a new version of Firefox and still keep my bookmarks/ How can I rescue my bookmarks.
I am posting this from another computer location.

I used to have a slightly similar problem. Not the Virus problem, but the re-install of Firefox. The solution for this in the future would be for you to install and use FEBE Firefox Environment Backup Extension so you can fully back-up your settings, and other Addons, and Themes etc. that were within your FEBE backed up profile, so you can do the re-install of Firefox and then restore your saved profile that encompasses all of or most of what you presently don't want to loose. You could still do a FULL PROFILE FEBE, and re-install Firefox, and do a FULL PROFILE RESTORE, and if you might no longer have a virus problem after the restore. If so, your in good shape. I would find and run a good quality Anti-Virus scan, and if you wish to try to catch what you might have missed with the new scan I also suggest from www.IOBit.com that you add 2 programs that look to be better at catching problems than most other scan and repair utilities. The programs I suggest you add are called Advanced System Care - presently is version 5, and IOBit Malware Fighter, and one other. Their super powerful Smart Defrag that is faster than most Defrag programs and their is only one other Defrag program that comes close to it's power, and that is Diskepper, and you get Smart Defrag for free, and it's better, and faster than the others in my opinion. ASC Advanced System Care will clean your system and make it run faster specially if you have noticed it is slowing down for one reason or another , and it will do this with less resources than the other programs that you may already be using. The only thing they lack at present is an Anti-Virus portion which would add much more value to the already super programs. Good Luck. Let me know what you think after trying the noted programs. You should be very satisfied of the results.

Can only open firefox as admin, otherwise get error to say a security component could not be initilaised. Have tried deleted cert8 file but it is not recreated and still will not open

Had problems with os and now can not open firefox unless I run as admin. Error appears - Could not initialise the application's security component. The most probable cause is problems with files in your browser's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard drive is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the browser and fix the problem. If you continue to use this browser session, you might see incorrect browser behaviour when accessing security features.
I have tried deleting the cert8 db file but it is not recreated when I start firefox again. HD has lots of room. Can you suggest anything else to try please?
thanks, mandi

If deleting or otherwise removing the cert8.db and secmod.db file doesn't help then try a new profile.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Could+not+initialize+the+browser+security+component
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

I can't open firefox in safe mode -- firefox is frozen, I can't open the firefox menu, and I can't quit to reopen in safe mode

-I am on a Mac.
-Firefox was behaving strangely, so I quit it.
-Upon attempting to reopen firefox, the situation occurred.
-Firefox is frozen.
-I can not get into the firefox menu. If I click on the firefox icon it still shows me the finder menu (no window appeared either. There are no outward signs firefox is open.)
-I can not open it in safe mode because I can not force quit it either.
-In the force quit menu it says firefox open, but nothing happens when I attempt to force quit it.
-I got no error message.
-In other words, Firefox is totally unresponsive. I can neither interact with it or force quit it.
To the solution...
-Upon research I believe its a problem with my theme, but I repeat I can not open firefox in safe mode.
-As I said, it says firefox is open but I can not interact with it.
-I can not restart my computer because it says firefox is open.
-I can not delete firefox because it says firefox is open.
I am posting this from Safari.
Please help, and thank you in advance.

<blockquote>
With a Finder window open, are you able to force quit Firefox by selecting the Apple menu > Force Quit > Firefox?
There are another couple of way you can start Firefox in Safe Mode: one is to hold down the "Option" key when you click Firefox in the dock. The other is to run the following command in a Terminal window:
<pre>/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -safe-mode</pre>
Terminal.app can be found in Applications > Utilities. Just paste in the line above and hit the enter key.
</blockquote>
The Terminal command worked like a charm, thanks.

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

I can not open Firefox. Keep getting the error message "Failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your system administrator." What do I do?

I can not open Firefox. I keep getting the message "Failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your system administrator." I have tried uninstalling Firefox and then reinstalling it but without success. What should I do?

Which Fx version? When you uninstalled Fx, did you reboot computer before reinstall?
Also, check for / delete any leftover files in the Fx programs install folders, before reinstall?
Is your profile in the default location or custom location?
Have you tried creating a new, completely clean profile - to test (then make sure to select that profile to start Fx - from the Profile Manager)? (no addons or plugins installed).
Does the user acct (that Fx fails under) have access ("rights") to all locations - especially for Fx profiles location?

I can not open Firefox.

I can not open Firefox. When I click on the icon nothing happens. I tried rloading and this didn't help. I have been using Firefox for years and have never had this problem.

Hey gioele,
Sorry to hear your problem. I think somehow your profile has got corrupt. Uninstalling Firefox won't fix this problem. Please follow the instructions from the link below. Hope it's gonna fix your problem.
