Fire fox is not repsonding?

Web site informed me that there was an update available and I clicked ok in order to update, ever since when I try to open fire fox the message says ""your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of firefox. do you want to reboot now?
yes or no
but no matter how many times click yes and let the computer restart firefox is still in the same condition!

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!

Fire Fox sent not all the data in text form. Reached only piece of information. Where can I find the cache of sent text?

Fire Fox sent not all the data in text form. Reached only piece of information. Where can I find the cache sent the text?
For example, I posted an article on a news site, but found that only a small part of my article was posted.

I'm not sure whether Firefox saved that information. There is a chance that it is in the session history file, especially if you haven't closed that tab yet. To check that:
Open your currently active Firefox settings folder (AKA your Firefox profile folder) using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Find all files starting with the name sessionstore and copy them to a safe working location (e.g., your documents folder). In order to read a .js file, it is useful to rename it to a .txt file. Or you could drag it to Wordpad or your favorite word processing software.
The script will look somewhat like gibberish, but if you search for a word in your article that doesn't normally appear in web pages, you may be able to find your data.
Any luck?
For the future, you might want to consider this add-on, although I don't know how long it saves data after you submit a form: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lazarus-form-recovery/].

When I open fire fox and open uther lings I'm geting masage that fire fox is not resonding and some time loads after a while and some time not.

When I open fire fox and start opening tabs it tell me that fire fox is not responding and after a while some time will open and some time not. What can I do to correct this. If I need to reload the fire fox let me know how I don't wont to loose all my book marks. Thank you for your help.

Try to update to Firefox 24 (just been released).
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.

Fire Fox WILL NOT LOAD Gmail, even after folling ALL the steps in HELP, but it loaded it yesterday and NOTHING has been changed!

I was using Fire Fox and I got the message "Fire Fox is not Responding". I tried waiting for it but after 20 minutes I closed it down. When I opened it up again and tried to use my Gmail bookmark but all I get is a message telling me that "The page isn't redirecting properly! Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies." This makes "No Sense at All" because I have used this bookmark Hundreds of times! I have tried to call up Google and try to go to Gmail from there but get Exactly the Same Message! I can go to Facebook using my bookmark but none of the games will load! I can get to Gmail using IE9, but when I try to go to Facebook it starts loading but NEVER Finishes! I just had to "restore my computer to factory Specs" a couple weeks ago but have used it without problem until 09/23/2012. Over the past 6 months I have Gotten the "Fire Fox is not Responding" Error HUNDREDS of times and cannot figure out why you would release a product that is NOT COMPATIBLE with ANYTHING on Earth! Please Fix Fire Fox before you lose ALL your Customers!

Adoby Acrobat 7.0 opens some times when I close firefox or fire fox will not shut down.

I have recently updated to firefox 4.0.1 and things are running slower and I have noticed that fire fox does not want to shutdown when I close it. Also every so often when I close fire fox my adobe acrobat professional will open randomly.

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Fire fox will not open, page says unable to connect. using 7.0.1

Fire Fox does not ask to save tabs when I exit. It started this when I loaded my last update - 4.0. How do I fix? Getting tired of starting over . . .

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Hi Nikgee
I'm not showing any issues with that browser. I tested firefox on our site. I'm sorry have you tried clearing your browser history and retesting. Are you having difficulties with other sites?

Xul runner platform version is not compatible and fire fox will not open - this is after upgrading to v 5

After trying to updat from 4.0 RC2 to 5.0.1 Error message appears
error: Platform version '2.0.1' is not compatible with min version >=5.0 <=5.0.
Have uninstalled and tried to re install earlier version but now get same error message but now get is not compatible with version >=2.0 <=2.0
currently not able to run or load fire fox at all

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up#XULRunner_error_after_an_update
The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions.
You need to do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded 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.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Can't get a straight forward answer re pogo and fire fox blockers not the problem

Pogo and Fire fox have a difference of opinion. the games worked fine for years on Firefox, but all of a sudden stopped. Did something with Java - pogo- Firefox occur. I do not like using Internet explorer on there it worked for awhile.

There has been a change in the Java security settings, see:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Java_security_prompts
"What should I do when I see a security prompt from Java?": http://www.java.com/en/download/help/appsecuritydialogs.xml
If you visit a website regularly then a possible workaround is to add the URL to the Java Exceptions Site List, see:

My Fire Fox does not save my History

When using fire fox I have a problem reading pages from my site. This is a new problem. The format appears to be lost with fire fox but not IE

I have been using FF for several years and well as front page to maintain and upload to my site. As of two days ago I started getting comments that recently updated pages were not readible. I have not changed any settings but have found out that what can not be read in Fire fox can be read just fine in IE

Can you post a link to a public page that doesn't require authentication (log in) to access it?

Hi a, Glad you removed Norton. On Skype, go to Tools & Manage add ons. Find any add ons that pertain to
Skype and Disable them. Once these problems have been solved then you can always enable any that have been disabled.
Anytime you lose an Internet connection you will receive those kind of errors. Wireless connections are subject to a loss of signal. I would contact your Carrier and report them.
Any site or game that tells you to update Flash Player, ignore. You did the right thing going to Youtube. If that works, then disregard anything to the contrary. That site is having a problem, not you. Take care not to disrupt your Flash Player Installation!!
On Avast not being able to update would most likely be due to the loss of signal. That Avast updated 3 times is not unusual. That is just a sign of additional risks. I had Avast and during some periods that was done also. No problem.
While you are still in the process of removing programs and troubleshooting, if there are any add ons/plug-ins/extensions that are causing an issue, I would disable them. Once you have your troubleshooting done, then see about them.
On McAfee, didn't that Install with FP at one time? I think you removed that as I recall. You can refer to the instructions I gave you to remove it and make sure it is not there.
Thanks,
eidnolb
