Download of Firefox 21 crashed, reboot no good, can't open existing nor download 22

I downloaded 21, then tried to open Firefox. I received a popup saying I had to reboot the computer. I did this several times. I still can't open Firefox or download another version. I keep getting the reboot message. I've thought of uninstalling and starting over, but I don't want to loose my bookmarks. What can I do?

NOTE: You will not lose bookmarks by reinstalling Firefox.
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • FIrefox repeatedly crashes at startup or just after opening a webpage

    Firefox repeatedly crashes on startup or just after opening a new page, I've tried downgrading my browser to FF 18 & the problem still occurs. Firefox won't even run properly in safe mode. I have included the latest crash report: bp-d8715a6c-6208-4420-8df4-cae752130307

    Hi Spirax, if your new profile works after a restart or two, you may want to start back up in your old profile and use the Reset feature. This is a lot easier than manually copying data to your new profile, although that is another option.
    Some reading for you:

    Well plug it in again, and then hold the "Lock" and "Home" button at the same time for about 10 seconds. See if that helps.

  • I can't install Firefox. Get a message saying "can not open output file" Firefox version 3.6.6

    Firefox stopped working after updating. I uninstalled it and downloaded latest version 3.6.6. Before that 3.6.3.
    When I try to install, I get a message "Extraction Failed.. Can not open output file" . I trie d former versions, all with the same result. I've already ran several antivirus and anti-malware, spyware.. etc.
    Everything else works fine, except for Firefox...

    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.
    If you keep having problems then disable your security software (anti-virus) during the download and installation of Firefox.
    You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

  • Firefox nor firefox-uninstaller will not open although I can see that they are running in "Processes" meaning I can't open it nor uninstall it.

    If I try to open firefox or uninstall firefox, nothing happens. I see that they are running in "Processes" but that is all. I can't open it; I can't uninstall it. Any ideas? I've checked my hard drive for errors, no viruses, all other programs perform as designed. Thanks in advance.

    Sometimes the Firefox window gets "off screen" somehow. You often can force it to appear on the screen by right-clicking the little thumbnail image above the Taskbar and choosing Maximize. Does that work?
    One possible cause for this is that the file which stores window sizes and positions has become corrupted.
    '''Method #1:''' ''If you can get a maximized window:''
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders in Windows Explorer.
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
    Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?
    '''Method #2:''' ''If you cannot get a Firefox window at all:''
    Shut down Firefox by right-clicking the taskbar icon > Close All Windows.
    Using the Run dialog (windows key + R) or the Start menu search bar (or in Windows 8 maybe the charms bar search bar?) type or paste the following and press Enter to drill down to the Profiles folder:
    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    Here you may see one folder -- in which case, double-click into that -- or more than one folder -- in which case, double-click into what looks like the most recently updated.
    Scroll down and rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
    Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?

    Same problem here... I finally updated whole system yesterday (last full system upgrade was on 2011-11-26) and same problem appears. File /usr/lib/libwbclient.so.0 was not present in system, so i reinstalled package smbclient - without any effect, then reinstalled libwbclient package and requested file appears. There is no error about upgrading libwbclient in pacman.log (from yesterday system update).. How is this possible?

  • Pagemaker 7 crashes . . .  can't open target printer.

    I have legacy PM6 and PM6.5 files (300+ page books) that I'd like to open in Pagemaker 7. I'm running WinNT pro.
    When I try and open the file, I get "Cannot load your target printer xxxx on yyy" and the program shuts down and closes.
    I tried installing a print driver for the missing device, and it still crashes.
    I am able to open the docs in InDesign, but I'd rather make the edits in PageMaker so I don't have to recompose the book.
    Any work arounds/suggestions?

    Try exiting PM, deleting all the PM*.cnf configuration files and restarting PM.  PM will recreate them.

  • Firefox.exe has "disappeared" so I can't open it. If I download and install new version will I lose all my bookmarks etc?

    I've had a lot of crashes, some just firefox, some the whole computer. In process of migrating to new machine so wasn't overly concerned. But after a restart today, I found I could not get firefox to open at all. After finding the system searching for firefox.com, I checked program files\mozilla firefox and firefox.exe is not there. A search showed it not to be anywhere. Not ready to stop using this machine just yet. Any way to get firefox.exe reloaded without losing all my related stuff??

    As long as you do not delete your Firefox personal settings or application data, they should remain after a reinstall.
    Don't run the Firefox uninstaller, simply run the installer that you download. This will just install over your previous installation.
    <b>Note:</b> To be 100% safe, I would recommend backing up your Firefox application data folder.

  • I may have inadvertantly downloaded to Firefox 5 instead of 4 and can not open the application because it is not supported. Can I still download Firefox 4, which I intended to do?

    I wanted to upgrade from Firefox 3 to Firefox 4. But, after I completed the download and then tried to open the Firefox application, I received a pop-up message saying, "You cannot open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture." Is it possible that I may have inadvertantly downloaded Firefox 5? I do not think that my system will support
    Firefox 5. I am not a techie, so I very much appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you.

    *Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac.
    *Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

    A "BEX" error often indicates there is a malware process trying to inject itself into Firefox in an inappropriate way, so Windows shuts it down to protect you.
    When I search for information on nsib.dll, it's inconclusive. For example: [https://www.virustotal.com/en-gb/file/7739cad2495359a139ef31062f54d683ce549bc4d7cca13f8d1cdaca86b3474d/analysis/ VirusTotal analysis].
    Assuming it is a bad add-on, I suggest starting here:
    Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    You can "mop up" remaining issues with the scanning/cleaning tools suggested in this support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    Finally, start Firefox in its Safe Mode by holding down the Shift key when double-clicking the Firefox shortcut/icon. In the small dialog that should appear, choose "Start in Safe Mode"
    Then open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that clear it up?

  • Firefox 5 crashes constantly when multiple pages are open. What's going on?

    I was made by your team to update from Firefox 4.x to Firefox 5. Ever since Firefox stops responding and often crashes.
    Your new feature to pin pages in the taskbar is great and I currently have 10 pages pinned that I always want up. One of them is Google+.
    While in Google+ I see Firefox hang constantly. I'm not sure if it's your problem or Google's. I hadn't come to you because I assumed it was Google's problem. But I was just on Quora and it happened there as well.
    Please contact me so we can figure this out. I love Firefox and I rely on it on a daily basis to get things done at work and in life in general.
    Thanks

    First, you can terminate a running Firefox process using the Task Manager.
    Ctrl+Shift+Esc to launch it
    Usually by this time, Firefox is no longer listed on the Applications tab, but if it is, try terminating it there.
    Click the Processes tab and look for both of these:
    plugin-container.exe (used to run Flash and many other plugins)<br>
    firefox.exe
    Click each and then click End Process.
    After that, you can close the Task Manager and you should be able to start Firefox.
    As for why that happens, you could check this article: [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]] -- skip to the section awkwardly entitled "Firefox hangs when you quit it"
