Downloaded Firefox it does not show but is open for when I uninstall it I am requested to close ff which cannot be done as it does not show

After a check on compatibility of Add Ons by FF after opening it, it stopped working. I re installed FF and the same happened. I have FF re installed but now it wont show the start page and when trying to remove FF I am requested to first close FF. to do this I have to close my PC ( Windows XP) as the FF opening page does not show and I consequently can not close it
I like using FF, all my bookmarked info and references for a book I am writing is on it so I have to get it working

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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.

    In current Firefox releases (29 and later) the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden<br>A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar

  • I downloaded firefox 6, and restarted computer, but the message under the search window says I don't have the latest firefox. I tried twice. thank you

    I downloaded Firefox 6 and restarted computer, but the message under the search window says I don't have the latest Firefox. I tried twice. Thank you.

    I have a similar problem; but I think the cause of the "already running" message is that my computer crashed.
    I rebooted before I learned to look for the parent lock file, but even when I knew to look for it, I found my original profile folder to be empty.
    So I created another profile folder, and FF works, but I cannot access my old profile folder. When I open the location where it should be, nothing's there. But if I go to profile manager, I see my original profile is still there (and it has a location, it's where it should be - and where it's invisible, but even if I type in this location, nothing comes up).
    I tried making all folders visible (I run Windows 7), but this did not make my old profile visible.
    I want to find it because of the bookmarks I bookmarked recently.

  • I opened Firefox accidentally so pressed cancel but it opened it anyway but didn't restore my last session (which I needed) and can't find how to restore it - help!!!

    I opened Firefox accidentally so pressed cancel thinking it wouldn't open Firefox if I did that but it opened it up anyway but didn't restore my last session (which I needed) and now I can't find how to restore it - help!!!

    You will find that bookmarking a page (clicking the star next to the address, or going into ''Bookmarks > Bookmark this page'' is precisely what you need to remember pages. It is a very widespread function in web browsers, and it is very ''very'' helpful in many situations, including remembering the location of pages you want to see later, providing easy access to pages you use frequently and other stuff too.
    If you want to know about session restore, there's an helpful support article [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Session+Restore here] which I believe also has information on version 3.0. However, I do urge you, once again, to update, because older versions (including 3.0) are no longer maintained and have known security vulnerabilities. Besides, you will not loose any functionality at all (unless you are using add-ons that are no longer usable by newer versions, in which case you need to contact the add-ons' authors for support and ask them to update their software), it's free, and very easy to do.
    If you need any further help at all, whatever it is, tips, troubleshooting, walkthroughs, feel free to ask here.

    My videos arent playing on my safari and it says "blocked plug in".  I go to download an updated version of flash but it doesnt help, and It keeps saying it over and over.  I also cannot log in to previous webpages.  Cookies are enables and so are pop ups

    Uninstall the old Flash plugin versions > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    And turn OFF Extensions in Sarfari > Prerferences > Extensions. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

    == a while ago already with older versions of firefox, but I didn't realize the problem is firefox so I can't tell exactly when it started

    Posted this elsewhere too; odd thing is both Safari AND Chrome work just fine. Did the suggestions but nothing fixed it, including deleting the app and trying to downgrade to a couple of versions back.
    Printing or even print preview on FF results in a blank page. Tried updating the "Add On" but that didn't do anything either. May have to give up on using FF. This is for my mother-in-law's machine and it works fine on my MacBook Pro at home. She's using an iMac with OS X 10.6.4 and this started with a recent upgrade.

  • Downloaded firefox 5 and now screen is black except for toolbar

    My laptop has windows XP. I downloaded Firefox 5 and my screen is black except for the toolbar. It doesn't matter which site I try to get to, the screen is still black. I had to go to my IGoogle homepage an access the help link because once I go back to Firefox, black screen again. I never had this problem until I upgraded to 5. Any help would be appreciated or I will have to go back to the older version of Firefox.

  • Question I have a dilemma . I added a lot of songs in my iTunes now when I synced my ipod this message appear "Elma's ipod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the iTunes library (additiona

    I addesd a lot of songs in my itunes, now when I synced my ipod this message appear "elma's ipod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the itunes library (additional 382m is required). Then I uncheck a lot of song and synced my ipod again same message appeared. Do I need to buy a new ipod with more memories? Somebody told me to check apply after I unchecked some of the songs but I cannot find the word APPLY. please help I'm not a very technical person.

    The Sync button becomes the Apply button, if you change the iPod's settings in iTunes.  If you are only unchecking songs in the iTunes music library, you click on the Sync button.
    When you select the iPod in iTunes, you see the iPod's Summary screen on the main part of the iTunes window.  There is a checkbox there for Sync only checked songs.  Did you check that checkbox?  If you want iTunes to ignore the songs you unchecked when syncing your iPod, that setting needs to be enabled.  If you change that setting, you'll see the the Sync botton has changed to Apply.  Click Apply.
    That method of unchecking songs works, but it may become annoying over time, as you need to uncheck more and more songs.  If you want advice on some other more convenient ways to make it work, you can post back.
