DownloadOK,installingOK, rebooting has no effect and a request for it keeps reacurring, no way to open Firefox?

I've downloaded Firefox version 9.While running setup a request for rebooting was observed. After having finished the setup another reboot followed, thereafter an "Unpack" icon appeared in the taskbar. Upon pressing it I was requested to reboot again ... and again, and again... . The same request came up whether I push the "Unpack- icon" on the desk top, or start menu. I cannot find a way to finish the installation, nor to uninstall the newly obtained upgrade. Neither I was able to open any version of the Firefox application. Also all tries to installed ver. 9 over the existing (previous or newly upgraded) versions fail.
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits with ample reserves of memory.

Found a working around to the problem. After updating from version 8.0.1, it keep bugging me to rebut, to no use what so ever. Here a solution I found:
1. To those in need to save their bookmarks, password saved, etc, you need first of all to save your profile folder, witch can be found on Windows 7 on the location
C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
Copy the hole directory Profiles to what ever location to keep safe.
Those ho have no need to backup, skip this steep.
2. Manual delete the whole directories:
C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla
and
C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\Mozilla
3. If still have links in Start Menu please delete them (mine has gone away when I try to update to 9 version)
4. Go to Control Panel / Programs and Features and click uninstall Mozilla Firefox, a small message will ask you if you want to remove the link because the program cant be found, click yes.
5. Download and install Firefox 9 from Mozilla.org using Internet Explorer or other browser of your choice (Chrome, Opera, etc)
6. In order to have your data back, copy the content of the Profile folder over the new installment, but be careful to copy only the content, because the name of the folder that literally contain the Profile data, is every time another, by example:
original mozilla 8 was 9um78jwe.default and the new one is skfwyddf.default
so copy only the content to another, meaning the directories
bookmarkbackups
chrome
extensions
icons
minidumps
weave
and off course all the other files.
When asked to overwriting say yes.
This is it, you can now start your new mozilla 9 installment.
Good luck.

    Thanks to cor-el for the suggestion given in the link. Sadly I have to report:
    1) It is not a bookmark problem and it makes no difference whether I put
    www.adobe.com or 192.150.18.117 in the address bar.
    2) Cookies are allowed and there are no exceptions set
    3) All cookies have been deleted
    4) network.http.sendRefererHeader is already set to 2
    That deals with the items in the linked document.
    Additional information:
    5) I can get into the adobe site from a clean "in memory" installation of PuppyLinux using Seamonkey using the same router and dhcp setup.
    6) un-installing all Mozilla products - rebooting and re-installing makes no difference even when I remove the mozilla folder from docs&settings.
    so as I said in previous post (as annonymous) not a lot makes sense.
    Bear in mind that I have no problem running tracert in a command window

  • HT1386 we are using same laptop with my wife for our 2 iphones and when sincronizing, she's getting my apps and is requested for my apple id and password when getting a new app on her device. How can i fix that issue?

    we are using same laptop with my wife for our 2 iphones and when sincronizing, she's getting my apps and is requested for my apple id and password when getting a new app on her device. How can i fix that issue?

    Each phone needs to set its own sync settings on the various tabs in iTunes.  On the Apps tab, for example, uncheck the apps that you don't want on the phone being synced.  This article may also be of interest: http://gigaom.com/apple/itunes-101-multiple-devices-one-itunes-account/.
    You can change the Apple ID used for purchasing on her phone by going to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using her Apple ID.  However, be aware that if she has any apps on her phone purchased with your Apple ID she will still be prompted to enter the password associated with this ID for all future updates of these apps.  This is because apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, regardless of the ID in Settings>Store.

    Microsoft Office 365 is a subscription - based service. You have to pay for it... and keep paying for it... and paying for it... as in 365 days a year... or lose your hard work.
    Office Home Premium is a mere $10 a month, but a convenient annual subscription is only $100 a year. This is a substantial discount to Microsoft's Office 365 business products ($150 / employee / year).
    Such a deal! Are you not absolutely thrilled?
    Here are some slightly more reasonable alternatives, all of which are compatible with their Office equivalents:
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice ($10 but older version is free if you can find it)
    OpenOffice (completely free)
    Numbers ($19.99)
    Pages ($19.99)

    I am so glad to hear about your success. As you are new to the Mac environment, I will be glad to help you more.
    You said: "I can't change the setup yet but i have access". I don't understand what you mean about changing the setup! Please let me know more about that.
    I also recommend to use Boot Camp, which allows you to install windows on a partition of your internal hard drive. This has many benefits. First, you can restart your computer and start up in windows. This makes your Mac device a complete windows machine and you gain the most from your hardware when working in Windows. Second, if a problem occures to your Mac OS X, you can restart your machine in Windows and prevent your data from getting lost. Third, you can import the Windows installed on the boot camp partition in to the Mac OS X using VMWare Fusion and work with it as a virtual machine. In this situation, VMWare enables you to work directly with your Windows in the boot camp partition. So it does not create a file package for the virtual machine in OS X.
    Regarding the data safety and reliablity, I strongly recommend using Time Machine. You can also set it up to back up your virtual machines or not. This is possible to set up in the Virtual Machine Preferences Page in VMWare Fusion, or in the Time Machine preferences page in the System Preferences app of OS X.
    Please don't hesitate to ask any other question. I will be glad to help you.

    In my experience this is most of the times a server issue of the website provider.
    Does this error occur on all Websites or just one specific Website?
    Does this Website load in Internet Explorer (or any other Browser?)?

    If you bought the machine new yourself, and did not enter a password when configuring it, leave the field blank.
    If you bought it used, then you need to reset the password, as described here:
