Everytime I quit Firefox it re-starts and opens again

Every time I quit and close down Firefox it restarts and opens again after a few seconds. I then close down the second instance of Firefox and it stays closed.
This has been happening forever and I can't seem to find a solution for it anywhere.

  • Firefox will not start and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. It will go to a link from Thunderbird once Firefox is open, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

    Firefox will not ''start'' and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. A link from Thunderbird will open once Firefox is ''already'' started, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

    I also have this problem. I cannot open links from a discussion board I frequent nor can I open links from my email. Also after opening my email, I cannot go to any other sites except my home page. I can then go no where else.
    When I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it does nothing! I have to bring up the Task Manager and end the Firefox process before I can get back in.
    To the best of my knowledge, this problem started with the new update to Ver. 3.6.9. I am running Windows XP Media Center 2005

  • Why does my Firefox no longer start and open ?

    I have run Mozilla Firefox on my Windows PC for years with no problem. Now, when I click on the desktop icon, nothing happens.
    The .exe file is in the same location, nothing has changed but it just will not start and run
    I am having to use this iPad to send this message
    I hope you have a solution !

    Thanks.
    The next day, without doing anything, it worked normally again.
    Great relief!

  • My firefox isn't starting and I've tried changing the profile manager but that wouldn't open either even when I closed it out on the task manager

    I've followed all the steps in the "Firefox will not start" and it is still not working :(

    I'm also having this problem. The firefox.exe ins't even shown in my processes, but the profile manager still won't open. Neither will firefox internet. So far I've been going in circles trying to figure it out and nothing is working. I don't want to start deleting things (the profile, extentions), but I don't know what else to do.

    Just installed Firefox 3.6. Firefox will not start and Firefox safemode does not start either. Using Task manager I do not see if started either. If I create a new profile and start from that window, Firefox starts up. I see no error windows/messages. I do have it listed in my Firewall as an exception program with Permit All. What is happening?

    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

    I am using Mac osX 10.9.2
    I can see that I am not the only one with this problem.

    LOL... this is what I just had to look up... it's not exactly clear or apparent, is it?
    When in Full screen mode.. just press Command-F. Voila!

    After virus problem which would not let all parts of the browser page open, I downloaded Firefox from another browser and opened it to install.
    Firefox now asks permission to open each time I click the icon. I have shut off the computer and on several times. I then re-installed the browser but still it asks permission to open.
    It seems to work again but can I get rid of opening permission request please? I may have 2 versions of the browser in the computer or the new program did not replace the old?
    If I uninstall the program will I lose my bookmarks? Please can you help?

    Mozilla Firefox stores all your personal settings, such as bookmarks, passwords and extensions, in a profile folder on your computer

    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!
    Thank you.

  • Mail applications is blank when I open it, then it closes and opens again by itself, keeping blank

    In my Ipad, when I open Mail application it is blank. It stays like this for a few seconds, then it closes and open again by itself.  Keeping all time blank.

    Have you tried to force quit the app. Double tap the home button. Scroll sideways if needed to bring the mail app preview up on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Tap on the home page preview to exit the mode. Then try your mail again.
    Other things people have needed to do, especially after an update is to go into the settings, mail contacts and calendars, delete their mail account (it only deletes it off the iPad not out of existence) then exit out, go back i and re-enter the info.

    Hi,
    Try double-clicking the home button and closing the app(s) you are having trouble with from the multi-tasking tray (press and hold down the app until it starts to shake, and then tap the little red minus sign on the app).  Then, try resetting your iPod:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430. 
    Hope this helps!

    Boot from your OS installer disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Utility.

  • Firefox will not start and any attempts to do so opens a crash report which neither properly closes nor restarts firefox.

    firefox was working this morning but in the afternoon, after i got off a game that did not require use of firefox, firefox would not start. it does not show up in the task manager and typing "firefox.exe -ProfileManager" into the search box opens a crash report which neither restarts firefox nor quits it. further attempts to do the same results in the same crash report.
    restarting the computer does not help.
    previously, in the past week, firefox has been frequently crashing. however, this afternoon was the first time firefox would not start at all. cannot uninstall firefox as my system provides no response.

  • Everytime i hit icon it wont start and sends report but have heard nothing back

    since yesterday when i click on firefox icon it will not start up, it displays crash reporter screen and says it will attempt to restart but when i hit restart it crashes again. when i hit quit firefox it sends report but ive heard nothing back. not sure if i need to download new copy or wait for response.

    Hearing back from the crash reporter is very, very, very rare, it isn't intended for direct user support. See about retrieving your most recent Crash Report ID's and we can take a look at those reports.
    We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
    #On the keyboard, press [Windows] [[Image:Windows key]] + [R]. This should bring up a Run window that contains a text field.
    #In that text field, type '''%APPDATA%''' and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
    #From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
    #Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
    #Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
    #Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
    Thanks in advance!
    You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.
