FF 15.0 on Windows 7 (64 bit) PC opens in Safe Mode but will NOT open after letting FF do reset procedure; now "stuck" in loop.

1) FF 15.0.0.4619 on Windows PC 64 bit machine. No themes; about a dozen fairly standard plug-ins; a few extensions - fairly vanilla setup. Been having occassional problem this past week in viewing web PDFs.
Crash occurred after some program (adobe ??) wanted to do routine update.
2) Upon clicking FF icon pop up indicates "problem and unexpected crash" but clicking details button does NOT provide any info. Clicking on Restart FF button offers me option to Start in Safe Mode or Quit FF.
3) Starts in Safe Mode and first time I did that FF reported Java as being disabled and NOT upto date. Did Java update/install (Java Platform SE 7 U7 10.7.2). FF still will not start except in Safe Mode.
4) Re-booted computer ... Clicking FF icon brings up pop up with problem and crash sentence but no details. Following screen offers Reset to Default option, and upon clicking Reset it takes me back to the same pop up - so I am stuck in a loop that seems to accomplish nothing. Using Reset upon entering Sage Mode results in same loop.
I really hate using IE so appreciate any assistance in getting back to beloved FF.

  • When I open FireFox i get the blue screen of death and then vista restarts. I get to login and then afterthe welcome window it crashes and restarts again. I can open in safe mode but if I open firefox again it restarts this loop.

    The other day I opened firefox after the latest update in September. Firefox then closes and then i get logged off and vista(32 bit) restarts. I get back to login and when I try to login it gives me the blue screen and restarts again with the selection screen (start in safe mode....)I was able to login on safe mode and then on admin afterwards. Thinking the problem was just an error I went back and opened firefox on my account and the loop started again. I was forced to remove firefox but I want ti back and I want to know how this can be fixed so I can put it back on my computer.

  • Adobe Bridge CC (64 bit) shows in my Start menu but will not open.

    Adobe Bridge CC (64 bit) showed installed on my Start menu and on the apps CC section.
    I cannot open Bridge from either the Start Menu or the File Menu on CC PS CS6.
    I'm on Windows 7, 64 Bit.
    I also can no longer use Print Maintenance functions on my non CC PS CS5 version.

    Make sure you do not have a previous version of Bridge running in the background.  Only one version can run at a time.
    Open Task Mangaer and click on processes tab.  Look for and close and bridge.exe.

  • How to burn a slideshow to DVD for anyone to play. I burned a DVD and can play it on my mac, but will not open in windows

    Need to know how to burn a DVD that can be viewed by any DVD player.  I created a DVD from a slideshow created in iPhoto.  I can open it on my computer, but it will not open or even be recognized in my home DVD player.  I asked a friend to try it on a Windows computer and he could not open it.  What's the key to creating things for friends & family that do not have Mac anything?

  • Installed Acrobat Pro XI on Win 7, 64 bit.  Program installed fully, but will not open or run.

    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times.  Downloaded reader, no help.  Adobe will not support by phone.  What do I do?

    Thanks, Sara.
    I have done just that - I ran the cleaner and removed Acrobat entirely.  Did a fresh install.  Everything looked fine, was able to enter my serial number successfully, and got a successful install message.  Yet when I try to open the program, it will bring up a box briefly which then disappears and the program does not launch.  Subsequent attempts do not even bring up the box.  No program running in task manager.  This is version 11.0.07, running on Windows 7, 64 bit.  I don't know if it makes a difference, but this was obtained through TechSoup.org.

  • Saved Keynote presentation as .PPT but will not open in Windows

    I have a new Macbook Pro with Keynotes (Dec 10). I had a presentation prepared in Windows 7 PowerPoint. It opens in Keynote but if I save as .ppt, it will not fully open in Windows PowerPoint 2010. The slides all open but there is no content. Keynote is version 2009 5.0.4 (633).
    Is there some secret to using Keynote - None of the previous items seem to address my situation.

    for what its worth, I've been trying to do the same today
    however the problem doesn't seem to lie with the Keynote to Powerpoint, as that opens fine on the same Mac
    it seems to be the resulting PowerPoint Mac file, copied to PowerPoint Windows that is stumping the presentation and producing the blank slides (which is does mention in the warnings that flash up on the PC when you open the file).
    Unfortunatley I cant seem to find an alternative to the Save-As version '97-2004 that Mac PowerPoint can produce:
    Keynote '09 v5.0.5
    PowerPoint 2008 v12.2.5 Mac
    PowerPoint 2007 PC 12.0.6557.5001 SP2

  • Windows media player plugin downloads onto my computer but will not load into my UX browser ???

    an using windows 7 and UX as a browser. i can find the folder where windows media plugin loads but it does not show up in the browser.

    Hi finitarry,
    Is your answer intended as a solution? If so, in what way?
    I've now re-installed the Firefox WMP plug-in (even though my system already had it installed) and it still will not show up in the FF 5 add-ons/plug-ins manager and FF5 still will not play an embedded WMV video file.
    Are you just commenting or do you have some advice?
    Thanks,
    numetro

  • Adobe Lightroom 7.2 64 bit installed but will not open error 0xc000007b

    After 3 days of tryng to download and run the above I was finally able to get it on my machine today.  During the past 2 days I would get Lightroom downloaded but it would not install
    as per the above error.  Today I copied the download URL into Safari and was able to download install and open that way only.  Now after closing Lightroom when I click on the desktop
    icon I once more get the error message shown in the subject line above. I am running ELEMENTS 10,    PHOTOSHOP Cs6 64 BIT,     PEREFECT FFECTS 3,       PHOTOMATIX PRO 4.2.4     &
    TOPAZ MHT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS.
    MY SYSTEM IS WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM 64 BIT WITH 8.00GB RAM WITH INTEL 540 @ 3.07 GHz
    THIS IS TO MUCH MONEY TO JUST THROW AWAY ON A DEAD PROGRAM.

    Yeah well, that was a typo on my part, it's 4.2 you have to keep in mind
    that it was about 2 or 3 when I posted that.
    BTW, corrected problem, working fine now.

  • On Mac 10.6.8 running Firefox 11 one account works fine, while on the other FF appears to launch but will not open a window.

    On an iMac using OS 10.6.8 and Firefox 11, one account runs FF just fine but another account on the same machine does not. FF appears to launch...the control bar appears at the top of the screen and a light comes on below the icon...but no window opens. Clicking on a link in an email brings same result.

    OOOOPS! Standing in the shower this morning I realized what the problem was. A visiting nephew showed my wife & I a YouTube video and displayed it on the big screen TV by dragging the FF window to the TV while logged-in to my wife's account. When we finished watching the video we switched the TV input back to TV and never dragged the window back to the computer screen. Happy to report all is now working as it should.

  • Installed FIrefox on Windows 7 system. At end of installation it would not open. Icon appears on desktop but will not open.

    After installing Firefox with the open program box checked, nothing happens other then the screen closing. When I click on the icon to start firefox, it attempts to open but never does.

  • I am using windows 7, and it is up to date, mozilla will not open and does not provide error message. Tried new profile, uninstall etc. pls help

    After I uninstall and reinstall Firefox works for a few executions but when I try to run it after about an hour or so it does not respond, does not give me any message. I have deleted my old profile, upon uninstalling I checked the box which asks if I'd like to remove all the previous data. The problem still persists.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that 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.
