Cannot run firefox 5 after running system restore

ran system restore after installing version 5, and now cannot run firefox or uninstall it.

Windows' System Restore usually doesn't break Firefox, but it usually doesn't fix it either.
I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong during the next few steps. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, try reinstalling Firefox 5 over the existing installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
Does it work?

  • Cannot reactivate network magic after a system restore

  • A few days ago(after a system restore) the firefox 15.0.1 crashes every time i opened(in a few secondes or in 1-2 minutes)

    If the problems arose after a restore from a Windows restore point you may need to resort to reinstalling Firefox, as sometimes Windows restores have been known to break Firefox.
    Security software including Firewalls is another problem that can slow Firefox or cause it not to work. You need to ensure the security software recognises the current version of Firefox (Again I wonder if a Windows restore may have affected this also.)

    If you are getting crashes are you able to provide the Crash IDs for a couple of recent crashes.

    Apparently you say there is no problem in Safe Mode, if so try Firefox with Hardware Acceleration off, if that helps then instead of leaving it off look at your graphics drivers.
    * see [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems#w_turn-off-hardware-acceleration]]_turn-off-hardware-acceleration
    * maybe your graphics driver rolled back on the restore, and needs reinstalling see [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

  • 1.Backup to External drive 2. CoverArt lost after Windows system restore

    I recently spent many hours searching for and applying cover art for my music which was mostly ripped before cover art was readily available.
    Because of this investment, I want to be sure my library is fully backed up. I want to use space on an external drive, rather than DVD's.
    I noticed as I added art, iTunes started acting sluggish. I thought it might be because of the new version or a recent Windows Vista update. So I decided to run system restore. I was appalled to discover that restore wiped out the art I had added. So I reversed the restore and the cover art returned. It became clear to me that the art must be stored in some other way than in the actual music file. I've searched the forum and found others who had problems with system restore, but no explanation of exactly what I should do if I want to proceed with a system restore. I use system restore several times a year and I have never lost anything in iTunes before I started adding cover art. I also never had a problem with sluggishness til I added a bunch of cover art.
    My library is large at 3000 items.
    Is there a way to compact or optimize the database to improve responsiveness?
    Is there a way to backup to an external drive? Is it just a file copy and export library file?
    If I export the library as an xml file before I do a system restore, can I then replace it after the restore and protect my cover art.

    To be completely sure what you're doing please take a look at your iTunes Folder and see what Vista stores inside it. To find it, go to Start>Computer>Hard Disk C>Users>Your Name>Music>iTunes>.......
    Please note there is an artwork folder PLUS a music folder!
    My guess is that your system restore point pre-dated the time you added artwork to your iTunes files. (Celebrate that system restore still works for you--I have not been able to successfully restore for over a year now--Norton Internet Security causes system restore failures for many Windows users! I've tried to do this using Windows XP and Vista--and I can never successfully restore anymore.)
    To fully backup your library, just copy the entire iTunes folder to another source--second hard drive, USB drive, or burn it to a CD or DVD, etc.
    If you're experiencing "sluggishness" it may be due to the amount of RAM on your system. iTunes needs a great deal of RAM to run smoothly. You can choose to: increase the RAM on your system, OR, turn off cover flow/album view and see if things run more smoothly.

  • Uploading previous iWeb work after a system restore?

    How do I upload previous iWeb work after a system restore?
    I backed up my data on a Hard-drive then I did a factory reset or restore of my hard-drive....
    Now I am attempting to open my previous iWeb work online and it is not working please help.....

    Your domain.sites2 file is the file that iWeb stores all its data and it is this file that you need if you want to continue updating your website in iWeb. 
    It is found under your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and then the domain.sites file.
    Your user library is the one with the house and this is where your personal user information is stored as opposed to your System Library which is general and where iWeb is not.
    If you don't have your domain.sites file then you will have to re-build your site from scratch as iWeb does not have the ability to read or open html files - so a previously published site - it is a one way street creating html files upon publishing.

  • After  a system restore, I get an error message telling me that "This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language.  Please run the English version." the E

    I did a system restore, trying to get rid of the new update (which I HATE), and now when I try to open iTunes, I get an error message telling me that "This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language.  Please run the English version."  You can't change the language option unless you can open iTunes - and IT WON'T OPEN!!!  What a piece of crap!  If there existed an iTunes substitute, I would purchase it in a hot minute! 

    Strip it out and start again.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you really want to roll back to 11.4 uninstall all iTunes/Apple components as described in the second box, restore the pre-upgrade version of the library as described in Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash, then download and install from one of these direct links:
    iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-09-09)
    iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-09-09)

  • Cannot run system recovery

    I think my notebook has a virus. Last night it shut down after I installed avast anti virus, & would not come back on. I have a black screen with a flashing cursor in top left corner. I can get into the startup menu by holding ESC while powering up, it will let me press F1, F2, F9 & F10 but if I press F11 to run system recovery, it just goes straight back to the black screen.
    I am not particularly knowledgeable but really want to get this thing up & running again. I know I might lose everything saved on it but that's ok. Just want some simple straightforward advice on what I can do please! Many thanks

  • HP 635 wont run system restore

    Hello--
    I have had my HP 635 for about 2 years now, and i've had the constant issue of my computer not running correctly. It started a few months ago, but now it wont even turn on. I have tried using system restore and gone back multiple times to different moments that i'm able to restore to, and it still will not let me. I have been trying to backup all of my files and they will not backup either, otherwise I would restore back to factory settings. 
    Please let me know what else I could do that wouldn't require me losing all of the music and pictures I have on my computer, thanks. 

    Could you please give me the exact product number for your computer?
    If you need help finding it, you can use the following link:

  • After using system restore, can't reinstall firefox

    I 'think' the problem was with Roboform. Using Firefox 7.0.2 my Roboform fill forms wasn't working properly after updating to a newer version so decided to roll back 24 hours using windows vista system restore. No luck. So thought that I could reinstall Firefox. Download went fine...when I ran the program, I got the following zev[zqz] flashing real fast with the crash screen saying Firefox has crashed send in a report and we'll get back to ya. Uninstalled..tried again. Same thing. Uninstalled EVERYTHING except personal data...Same thing. So installed IE 9 so at least I could come here and post...miss Firefox!!

    Hello JMcIntee, # In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
    # Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
    # in the search area type '''College Shop''' and delete(with right-click) anything related.
    then try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/searchreset/ SearchReset] add-on, (the add-on resets your search preferences and home page to their default values, and then uninstalls itself).
    any luck ?

  • On my netbook, I installed Firefox 4.0.1 from the Firefox web page. Now The netbook cannot open Firefox and cannot get onto the internet. System restore doesn't work. What can I do?

    At the end of the installation process, I received the message that (some applications?) were not compatible with Firefox and should Firefox search for (some applications?) that would be compatible. I answered no. When the netbook restarted only one of the two user icons was showing. The user icon I use all the time was not showing. I did system restore to try to go back to before I did the installation and I got both icons, but Firefox does not open. Firefox does not open with either icon. I am using my old PC to write this message and I will not install the new version of Firefox on this PC until I can once again get onto the Net with my netbook. I hardly ever use this PC for using the Net.

  • Firefox 4 could not be made to show bookmarks on Vista 64bit. I used system restore to get back to older version. Now Firefox won't open at all even after undoing system restore

    I use Vista 64 bit. Was fine with older Version of Firefox (3.6, I believe). Upgraded to Ver. 4. Couldn't access extensive bookmarks file or bookmarks toolbar. Tried all the Firefox help recs and they didn't work. Clicking the top button would give list of toolbars but when I tried to move to bookmarks toolbar the menu changed. Tried going thru tools and options and that didn't work. So decided to use System Restore to get old Firefox version back. Icons remained but program wouldn't open. Tried many ways, including start menu. Old version is still on program control file but only option is to uninstall. So went back to System Restore to get Vers. 4 back and it's not there. What to do?? I can use Google Chrome or Internet Explorer but I want all my 100's of bookmarks back. Thank you.

  • Kernel panic after full system restore

    Yesterday I noticed that my computer was quite slow. Seeing as how the hd has never been formatted since I have bought the computer in 2006 I thought the drive was badly fragmented. Since there are no free defrag solutions available for mac, I thought I would just format the drive and do a system restore using time machine. I did a full format with 1 pass of zeros then did a system restore. After the restore when the computer rebooted, I got a kernel panic. The kernel panic mentioned something along the lines of "Version mis-match between Kernel and CPU". I then chose to restore to an earlier backup but that yielded the same results.
    I have done a lot of googling and most of the solutions to this problem indicate that the restore is being initiated from a Leopard install disc rather than a Snow Leopard install disc. I am using a snow leopard disc.
    In the end, I did get my system working by installing snow leopard over top of itself then applying the latest combo update. The reason for this post is so I can hopefully find out why I got the kernel panic. This incident had cost me a lot of time and if I cannot rely on time machine as a backup solution then there is really no point in using it.
    Thanks.

    Something in your installation of OSX was probably corrupted, damaged, or missing, and Time Machine backed up the corruption (as would any backup utility). So when you restored, you brought the problem back.
    That's likely also the reason your Mac was running "quite slow."

  • How do I get application manager to install products after a system restore removed them?

    I had some issues starting the computer and had to use system restore to get it runnng.
    But that meant that all the applications I installed using creative cloud were gone. 
    When I started the Application Manger, It read that all the applications that I had installed were still installed.
    I don't know how to reset anything to reinstall what I lost.   As you can see I says the installed programs are up to date. But they are not on the hard drive.   
    If anyone can help,   thank you very much.  Or I wait till they open tomorrow.      Barry

    Hi Mylenium
    i did a Forum search upon AAM issues and came here.
    My system and all installed CS6 Applications are running smoothly, just AAM shows some odd behaviour
    Most needed applications are installed, but under the "All" Tab, AAM shows "install" on the right, see my screenshot below.
    Contrary to that what is seen on the screenshot up there from user "Bar".
    under "Updates" it shows all up to date (see screenshot below)
    This way, I'm cannot be sure if AAM works correctly or not.
    So i have followed your suggested advice and cleaned everythig up, downloaded and installed everything again, ugh!, but problem still persitis.
    Usually it should show up which Applications are alredy installed, respectively are up to date and which application are still not installed.
    Is there a known issue with AAM?
    Thank you.

  • After a System restore event I am unable to 'unpack' the Abobe Creative Cloud App to load it.

    I purchase a subscription to the cloud (Lightroom / Photoshop).  The APP all downloaded fine after the purchase and the short cut worked, I managed to download the 2 software packages and started to use them.  I then had to action a Win 7 Systems restore.  Following this the software was no longer on the Laptop.  I therefore tried to re-download the APP.  This initially seemed to work OK but when running it, the APP appears to start the loading process, then just disappears after a few seconds.  I have waited for hours to see if it would finally burst into life.  Can anyone suggest what I need to do to restore functionality and what the issue is?  Many thanks in anticipation.

  • How can I install the programms again after a system restore?

    After my system went down, right after installation of the programms with the Adobe Applicaton Manager, I had to restore the system. Of course by then all the installed applications weren't working.
    I will have to reinstall them. But unfortunately I can't download and install the applications again because AAM thinks they are allready installed. Thus far nothing works. Who can help me?

    Run the Cleaner tool to remove all the Adobe Software and then check in the AAM.
